: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

:21:47

if the benefits...
:21:54
...of the operation are lasting...
:21:57
...or maybe just passing
or perhaps...
:22:00
There's a strong possibility that
the patient will always be limited.
:22:04
Relieved of acute anxiety,
yes, but limited.
:22:07
But what a blessing to them, doctor,
to be just peaceful.
:22:13
To be just suddenly peaceful.
:22:16
After all that horror...
:22:19
...after those nightmares...
:22:21
...just to be able to lift up
their eyes to a sky...
:22:25
...not black with savage,
devouring birds.
:22:27
You said a sky filled
with savage, devouring birds?
:22:31
Did I?
:22:32
How odd. I hadn't thought
about all that in years.
:22:35
Now, why should I suddenly...?
:22:37
Yes, we saw those birds
one summer in the Pacific.
:22:42
You see, my son
Sebastian was looking for...
:22:46
- Looking for what?
- Rare, hungry birds.
:22:50
- That's not what you started to say.
- You're too quick for me.
:22:54
I was going to say my son

:22:58
I stopped myself.
I thought you'd think:
