This is my favorite scene in the whole movie, and one of my all time favorites from ANY movie. I drive by this building twice a day on my way to and from work, and it still creeps me out.
where do you work? -

Perhaps one would HAVE to be robotized or desensitized to be in her line of work. Also, she was probably so used to dealing with comatose people that she had absolutely no people skills with those still functioning. Either way, it's a brilliant exchange, and Ashley and Bujold pull it off. Would like to see these two in a wrestling match!

Obviously she's been around coma patients so long she has lost any people skills she may have once had. Notice how she acts when the coma patient is swinging back and forth, 'There there' I think Elizabeth Ashley is brilliant in this movie!
Professional Jayne Mansfield fanatic/lover since 1980. -

I pretty much thought the same exact thing. She was over the top, a total charicature. But I loved it. That was the only scene I went back and re-watched after the movie ended.
People will bitch about anything these days. -

I think there are a lot of arrogant nurses who think they are superior, even to sacrosanct doctors. Look at all the Angel of Death nurse cases. Kind of smacks of superiority! I could see Mrs. Emerson smothering deserving patients with a pillow and stringing them up at the Jefferson Institute. I saw this when I was 13 and she made a long lasting impression. That character is kind of a gay icon! Go figure.

I wonder what the building is used for now.
Last thing I heard was that a new company was aware of the bad publicity surrounding what happened in the Jefferson Institute, so they promised to make it clean and innocent. It now serves as Waste Disposal Plant #3 for the Soylent Food Corporation! -

In this scene, You can see the camera crew on the dolly panning Miss Ashley. The reflection is in the glass window pane, It's quick but you see them moving. It happens right before she greets Dr. WheelerNotice my board name..LOL
