Famous quotes containing the word bateman:
“I’ll tell you something, Doc. Ever since I was born, everybody looks at me and says, “You’re ugly.” Makes me feel mean.... I’m saying, Doc, maybe because I look ugly—maybe if a man looks ugly he does ugly things.”
—David Boehm. Louis Friedlander. Edmond Bateman (Boris Karloff)
