:29:04
Perhaps I have more reason
for my fear than most.
:29:07
You see, since childhood I've been ill.
I have fainting spells.
:29:14
Trances.
:29:16
Was it I who mentioned
catalepsy yesterday?
:29:18
Yes. I couldn't tell you then.
:29:20
I've had trances lasting more than a day...
:29:22
with almost complete suspension
of heartbeat and respiration.
:29:25
I should have known. I'm terribly sorry.
I would never have spoken as I did.
:29:30
But you need not fear.
:29:32
I will take every precaution,
make every known test.
:29:37
- If you are unlucky...
- Thank you.
:29:43
Now that you understand,
I'm no longer afraid.
:30:18
I suppose you want to hear
my prayer to Hermes?
:30:21
I just came to see if your prayer
would entertain me...
:30:23
as much as my medicine
seems to amuse you.
:30:33
O, God of physicians,
God of healing, protect us.
:30:36
Watch over us, thou swift-footed one,
son of Zeus.
:30:48
What? Did my prayer move you
to join with me in worship?
:30:51
It was my way of saying amen...
:30:55
- and my surrender.
- To the gods?
:30:57
To the gods.
They are more powerful than my science.
