Quotes 

• Dr. Byron Stewart : You're not a reporter are you?

  Dr. David Bruce Banner : No! No, but I did read all your earlier books. I was very impressed: The seeds of aggression lie deep in the subconscious mind. Aggressive behavior is nothing more than an acting out of those subconscious thoughts.

  Dr. Byron Stewart : That's very good. But of course others have said much the same thing: Waldheim, Marshall, Banner.

  Dr. David Bruce Banner : Ah yes, but Banner was talking about strength, not aggression. The ability to find a well of hidden strength at a moment of crisis.

  Dr. Byron Stewart : Perhaps Dr. Banner failed to see that the source of that hidden well is the same for both things.

  Dr. David Bruce Banner : Perhaps.

• Dr. Byron Stewart : We call it the Coliseum. Every Sunday they come out here and gear themselves to hit another human being as hard as they possibly can. And 75,000 people come here to cheer them on. All out aggression. except that when the whistle blows, they turn it off just like that.

  Dr. David Bruce Banner : Anger and control in the same moment.

  Dr. Byron Stewart : Exactly. We all have it in us, David, to varying degrees. When we need to be angry, or tough or aggressive, we somehow reach into our subconscious and come up with just the right amount and then shut the rest off, hopefully. But if we don't, if we cross over that line, isn't that what abnormally aggressive behavior is all about? We go to bring up just that one bucket full of anger, and suddenly you can't seem to stop there. Do you know what I mean?

  Dr. David Bruce Banner : Oh yes, I know exactly what you mean, doctor.
