:01:00
It does seem an odd thing to say.
:01:03
Had anyone said that to me a year ago...
:01:04
I'm not at all sure
I would have known what a zombie was.
:01:07
I might have had some notion...
:01:10
that they were strange and frightening...
:01:12
even a little funny.
:01:14
It all began in such an ordinary way.
:01:17
- You're single?
- Yes.
:01:19
- Where were you trained?
- Memorial Hospital here in Ottawa.
:01:24
Now this last question is a little irregular,
Miss Connell.
:01:27
I really don't know quite how to begin.
:01:30
Do you believe in witchcraft?
:01:32
Well...
:01:34
They didn't teach it at Memorial Hospital...
:01:37
but I had my suspicions
about the Directress of Training.
:01:39
Now, as to salary, it's quite good.
:01:41
- $200 a month.
- That is good.
:01:44
But I'd like to know a little bit more
about the case.
:01:46
I'm afraid I can't tell you much...
:01:48
only that the patient is the wife
of Mr. Paul Holland...
:01:50
with whom we do considerable business.
:01:52
- That will mean another interview?
- No, this is quite final.
:01:55
You see, Mr. Holland is a sugar planter.
:01:57
He lives on Saint Sebastian
in the West Indies.
:01:59
The West Indies?
:02:01
That's not so bad, sit under a palm tree...
:02:05
go swimming, take sunbaths.
:02:09
Palm trees.
:02:24
It seemed only a few days
before I met Mr. Holland in Antigua.
:02:28
We boarded the boat for Saint Sebastian.
:02:30
It was all just as I had imagined it.
:02:33
I looked at those great glowing stars.
:02:35
I felt the warm wind on my cheek.
:02:38
I breathed deep
and every bit of me inside myself said:
:02:42
"How beautiful."
:02:44
It's not beautiful!
:02:48
You read my thoughts, Mr. Holland.
:02:50
It's easy enough to read the thoughts
of a newcomer.
:02:52
Everything seems beautiful
because you don't understand.
:02:55
Those flying fish...
:02:57
they are not leaping for joy.
They're jumping in terror.
