Nice of you to drop in, Kumar.
Good evening, Holden.
:39:18
Why, Mr. Holden.
Are you ill?
:39:20
- I'm all right. Hello, Mark.
- I phoned you earlier.
:39:23
The authorities have been diffiicult
about cooperating on Hobart.
:39:25
We need the family to sign a release.
I have it here.
:39:28
If it's gonna be that much trouble,
forget it.
:39:30
His memory patterns
are probably worthless anyway.
:39:32
Besides, I've met this Karswell.
:39:35
- He's just a harmless faker.
- You are a very skeptical man.
:39:39
That's what Karswell said.
:39:41
- Care for a nightcap?
- I wouldn't mind.
:39:45
Haven't you gentlemen heard that
alcohol is the devil's brew?
:39:48
And interested as I am in the devil,
I never indulge, thank you.
:39:52
O'Brien, don't you think that...
:39:52
O'Brien, don't you think that...
:39:55
skepticism is
the scientifiic attitude?
:39:58
Oh, sometimes.
:39:59
All good scientists
are from Missouri.
:40:03
In other words, they should
continually be saying, "Show me."
:40:06
- And if you are shown?
- Then I'll look twice.
:40:09
- Like water?
- No, thank you.
:40:11
The whole question
of this demon monster...
:40:13
that you think shocked Hobart
out of his mind...
:40:15
is a perfect example of
auto-suggestion and mass hysteria.
:40:18
Just the same as Flying saucers.
:40:22
Someone imagines that
they see moving lights in the sky.
:40:26
And the next thing,
a thousand hysterical witnesses...
:40:29
turn up all over the world swearing
that Martians are attacking us.
:40:33
And now, this nonsense.
:40:35
It even affects serious men
like yourselves.
:40:38
Sometimes, even me.
:40:41
But logic... the reality
of the seeable and the touchable...
:40:45
that's what convinces me fiinally.
:40:46
Certainly not rumor
or intuition or funny feelings.
:40:50
Here's how.
:40:52
I wouldn't dream of arguing with you.
:40:55
You say, "Show me."
I say, "Look for yourself."
