:20:02
And then I read about you...
:20:05
...about your operation,
and I thought:
:20:08
"This may be the answer
to all our prayers."
:20:11
You must realize
the operation I do...
:20:13
...is only for the unapproachable,
for the hopeless.
:20:16
If she isn't unapproachable
and hopeless, I don't know who is.
:20:19
- The things she says.
- What?
:20:21
- Terrible, obscene things.
- Such as?
:20:23
Oh, anything.
:20:25
Such as?
:20:27
All right, you asked.
:20:29
This happened recently at St. Mary's.
:20:31
Catherine accused an elderly gardener
of making love to her.
:20:35
They questioned the gardener,
an old man.
:20:37
It was the other way around.
:20:39
Catherine had made advances to him,
spoken obscenely to him.
:20:43
When confronted with her lies,
she fought and screamed.
:20:46
It took four nuns to control her.
:20:48
Now I'm put on notice that they
won't keep her there after this week.
:20:51
You see why I said urgent.
:20:53
Yes, I do. I certainly do.
:20:55
It's important I see her
as soon as possible.
:20:58
And help her. If you can't,
I'm at my wits' end.
:21:00
I can transfer her to Lions View.
She won't be as comfortable...
:21:04
I understand.
:21:05
But the important thing
is you, doctor.
:21:07
You'll be happy to know
that at this very minute...
:21:10
...my lawyers are working on the
Sebastian Venable Memorial Foundation...
:21:14
...to subsidize the work
of young people like yourself...
:21:18
...who are pushing out
the frontiers of art and science...
:21:21
...but have a financial problem.
:21:23
Mrs. Venable, loving your niece
as you do, you must know...
:21:27
...there's great risk
in this operation.
:21:30
When you enter the brain with a foreign
object, even a needle-thin knife...
:21:34
...in the hands
of the most skilled surgeon...
:21:38
...there still is
a great deal of risk.
:21:41
But it does pacify them,
I've read that.
:21:43
It quiets them down.
It makes them peaceful.
:21:47
- Yes, that it does do, but...
- But what?
:21:50
Well, it will be years before we know
if the benefits...
:21:54
...of the operation are lasting...
:21:57
...or maybe just passing
or perhaps...
