:26:01
Guy.
:26:02
Yes, my dear?
:26:05
You Wish to say something?
:26:07
No.
:26:08
Well, in that case...
:26:09
Iet me tell you
about my latest addition.

:26:11
I thought of it
the night before last.

:26:13
Of course, it's highly
unlikely I shall ever use it...

:26:16
but one never knoWs, does one?
:26:23
Permits of easy egress...
:26:24
and it's completely
impassable from the outside.

:26:28
A simple arrangement,
I grant, but effective.

:26:33
Guy, this is madness.
:26:34
Madness? It's the only
Sane ansWer to my problem.

:26:39
I'll shoW you just hoW mad I am.
:26:44
I suppose she's told you
my father Was a cataleptic?

:26:47
No, but that doesn't mean that--
:26:49
And I am prone
to the same affliction.

:26:52
Very Well.
:26:54
Let us consider the folloWing.
:26:56
Apropos of nothing at all,
I have an attack.

:26:59
Let us say it happens
during dinner.

:27:01
Emily sends Judson
to fetch a doctor.

:27:04
The doctor arrives,
he examines me...

:27:06
and pronounces me dead.
:27:07
I am, of course, alive.
:27:08
You knoW the nature
of catalepsy.

:27:10
But to the rest
of the World, I am gone--

:27:14
passed on, deceased.
:27:18
So a funeral is held...
:27:20
and I'm brought
doWn here to this vault...

:27:22
and placed in this coffin.
:27:32
The mourners have departed...
:27:35
the doors are both locked...
:27:36
and I'm alone.
:27:39
NoW, pay close attention.
