Clyde Martin Quotes in Kinsey (2004)

Clyde Martin: When did you first begin masturbating?

Old Woman: I invented it, son.

Clyde Martin: You know what amazes me? There's no relation between how sexy a girl looks and her sex life. The ugly ones seem to get all the action.

Clara McMillen: I always thought ugly was an ugly word.

Clyde Martin: Just one more question. You've just told me your entire history: childhood, family, career, every person you've ever had sex with. But there hasn't been a single mention of love.

Alfred Kinsey: That's because it's impossible to measure love. And, as you know, without measurements there can be no science. But I have been thinking a lot about the problem lately.

Clyde Martin: Mmh, "problem"?

Alfred Kinsey: When it comes to love, we're all in the dark.

Clyde Martin: So, you do think it matters?

Clyde Martin: Have you ever done anything about it?

Alfred Kinsey: [shakes his head]

Clyde Martin: Would you like to?

Alfred Kinsey: That's perfectly understandable. It's clear from your history you have a greater sexual interest in women than men.

Clyde Martin: Good. Then you won't mind if I ask Mac to have sex with me. Only if it appeals to you, of course.

Clara McMillen: Would it be separately or together?

Clyde Martin: Oh, no, definitely just you and I.

Clara McMillen: I think I might like that. What do you think, Prok?

Alfred Kinsey: The doctors say my heart sounds like a cement mixer.

Clyde Martin: At least they found one.
