Hogwash.
:52:04
All of us
imagine things.

:52:08
Have you ever heard two men
talking behind your back...

:52:11
and imagined they were
talking about you?

:52:14
Have you never imagined
you saw someone you knew,

:52:17
and walked up to them and found
they were a perfect stranger ?

:52:20
- I don't see what this
has to do with it.
- The point is this.

:52:24
Our imaginations
play tricks on us.

:52:27
They often misinterpret
what we see and hear. Do you agree?

:52:31
I suppose so.
:52:34
If that can happen in ordinary times,
go a step further.

:52:38
Look what can happen in a high fever,
or following a serious emotional shock.

:52:44
It doesn't seem possible
that I could have imagined all of it.

:52:48
Does this man, this figure,
resemble anyone you've ever known?

:52:53
- An acquaintance or your father?
- No.

:52:56
- Do you have a boyfriend
here or back home?
- I have no desire for one.

:53:00
- Never?
- No.

:53:05
I'm surprised to find myself
saying that, but it's true.

:53:10
I have no desire for
the close company of other people.

:53:15
Have you always
felt this way?

:53:18
I... I don't know.
:53:22
Don't you want to join
in the things that other people do,

:53:25
share the experiences
of other people?

:53:27
I don't seem capable
of being very close to people.

:53:32
I do feel that perhaps I'm trying
to reach out for those other things.

:53:37
Do you feel guilty
wanting them?

:53:40
I don't understand you.
:53:43
I'm not a psychiatrist, and perhaps
I'm being clumsy at all this,

:53:48
but I am suggesting that perhaps
this figure represents a guilt feeling.

:53:52
Oh, that's ridiculous!
:53:55
Maybe. Frankly,
I don't know.
