Parsons tells me you're a great hunter.
:15:03
You could hardly expect me to enter
your office leading a pack of hounds.

:15:07
Please.
:15:19
I understand you don't like
to talk about your health.

:15:22
- That's right.
- Any particular reason why?

:15:24
- It's just a boring subject, that's all.
- Oh, most people love it.

:15:28
I make my living by listening.
:15:30
- Then you're wasting your time.
- I'll send you a bill.

:15:33
I'm 23 years old, an only child.
:15:36
I weigh 110 pounds, stripped.
:15:38
I've had measles, mumps
and whooping cough.

:15:40
I believe I have
no congenital weaknesses.

:15:42
- Shall I go on?
- Oh, yes, please.

:15:45
My father drank himself to death.
My mother lives in Paris.

:15:48
I take a great deal of exercise.
I'm accustomed to tobacco and alcohol.

:15:52
I'm said to have a sense of humor.
:15:54
Is that enough?
:15:56
All the inconsequential facts.
:16:05
Thank you.
:16:07
What are the consequential ones?
:16:10
- Does that light bother you?
- Not at all.

:16:12
- Do you use your eyes a great deal?
- I generally keep them open, doctor.

:16:18
What do you do on Long Island?
:16:20
Horses, dogs, shooting, yachting,
travel, parties, gossip.

:16:24
All the pleasures
of the station-wagon crowd.

:16:27
- You don't think much of that, do you?
- No, not much.

:16:29
Why not?
:16:31
It just doesn't appeal to me.
:16:33
You condemn everything
that doesn't appeal to you?

:16:35
Oh, by no means.
:16:37
You asked for my opinion,
and I gave it.

:16:41
Well, anyway, that's my racket.
:16:43
- What's yours?
- Mine?

:16:46
Brain surgery, large practice,
about 1 0 days off every summer.

:16:50
Sounds awful.
:16:52
- It is.
- Then why do you do it?

:16:54
Like yourself,
I've been caught in a racket.

:16:56
Oh, doctor, what a relief to know
that you're no better than I am.
