Quotes 

• Mandy Hardy : I have to talk with you, Ellen.

  Ellen Hardy : Sure. Where's George?

  Mandy Hardy : I don't know, but I've got to talk to you.

  Ellen Hardy : What is it?

  Mandy Hardy : George and I are going to need a Mad Room. We need a place to think; a place to work things out.

  Ellen Hardy : Well, you have your rooms.

  Mandy Hardy : No.It doesn't work that way. When I get tight inside, I need to go some place. Alone. Well, don't you feel pressure, Ellen?

  Ellen Hardy : Of course I do.

  Mandy Hardy : Then what do you do?

  Ellen Hardy : Well, I try to keep busy, take my mind off of it.

  Mandy Hardy : Well, some people take long walks.

  Ellen Hardy : I try not to live within myself, Mandy.

  Mandy Hardy : We've got to have a room, Ellen. That's what we're accustomed to. We get steamed and we need some place to let it out.

  Ellen Hardy : I wish there was some place, er... oh, there's the basement.

  Mandy Hardy : No. It won't work. Not for me. It's a hang up.

  Ellen Hardy : Why?

  Mandy Hardy : One of the punishments at the Institution was to be sent to the basement.
