Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical (2001 TV Movie)

George Merritt: John Utterson

Quotes 

• Lord Theodore Savage : It's a waste of time. Who does this Jekyll think he is.

  General Lord Glossop : Impertinence like that in the army would have earned him a good flogging.

  Mr. John Utterson, Esq. : The perfect way to stamp out any nasty signs of progress eh General?

  General Lord Glossop : Absolutely.

  Rupert, the 14th Bishop of Basingstoke : He's tinkering with a man's soul and I don't like it. He's lucky we are living in modern times. Today's penalties for heresy are not what they should be.

  Mr. John Utterson, Esq. : Then we should thank the good Lord that we have you to represent modern times, your Grace.

  Lord Theodore Savage : If Jekyll is as sensible as you say he is then what is he doing trying to save paupers and madmen? What possible use is that? I've lived in St. James for sixty years and I've never even seen a pauper or a madman.

  Lady Elizabeth Beaconsfield : I think he's mad if you must know. Danvers, we are talking about your future son-in-law and I think you're mad to let him marry your daughter.

  Emma Alice Margaret Carew : That's not father's decision Lady Beaconsfield. It's mine.

  Sir Danvers Carew : Don't worry Bessie. Whatever your opinion of him as a scientist may be, Emma assures me Henry Jekyll is impeccable husband material.

• Jekyll : [seeing Utterson has drawn and pointed his swordcane at him. He begs with tears in his face]  Do it, John. Do it. Set me free. Set us all free. Just do it, John!

  Mr. John Utterson, Esq. : [voice breaking]  I cannot.

  [Jekyll suddenly grabs the blade, pulling Utterson in and stabbing himself. The crowd gasps and Utterson pulls the blade out] 

  Jekyll : [turns clutching his mortal wound]  Father.

  [collapses as Emma runs to his side] 

  Mr. John Utterson, Esq. : Forgive him!

  Emma Alice Margaret Carew : [weeping]  Henry!
