Then...
:31:04
you don't think it's catalepsy?
:31:06
He's never had these
attacks before, has he?

:31:08
I mean, fainting spells,
dizzy spells?

:31:10
No. No.
:31:12
But his father--
:31:13
To the best of our knoWledge...
:31:14
catalepsy is not
an inherited affliction.

:31:18
And there's a neW
line of thought...

:31:19
among some of us--
:31:20
myself, Cargrave,
and a feW others--

:31:23
that may shed some
light on Guy's case.

:31:26
You see...
:31:28
most people tend
to think of the body...

:31:29
and the mind as being
totally different--

:31:31
tWo separate entities--
:31:34
Whereas, in point of fact...
:31:36
they're actually linked.
:31:38
No sugar.
:31:39
Do you folloW me?
:31:42
Yes, I think so.
:31:45
You see, physically...
:31:47
Guy may be perfectly sound noW.
:31:50
HoWever, this constant fear...
:31:52
that gnaWs at him
night and day...

:31:54
may actually bring about
a condition of catalepsy...

:31:57
Where no such
condition exists noW.

:32:00
I see.
:32:02
Well, What can be done?
:32:05
I am not sure.
:32:08
I'm not sure at all.
:32:09
HoWever, I do knoW this--
:32:11
that Guy's mind is like
a keg of gunpoWder...

:32:13
and the smallest thing
might set the fuse--

:32:15
the most innocent
reminder of death--

:32:17
corpses, graves,
anything at all.

:32:19
That's the first thing
you must remember.

:32:21
Do you understand?
:32:22
Yes.
:32:24
Yes, I understand.
:32:26
Oh, Miles, I Wish you could
come and stay With us.

:32:30
Well, I Was just thinking.
:32:32
The laboratory doWnstairs.
:32:34
What about it?
:32:35
Well, you may knoW that Guy
offered me the use of it...

:32:38
in order to further
my researches.

:32:39
If I accepted his offer...
:32:42
I might be able to come
here from time to time.

:32:44
Oh, Miles, that Would be
absolutely Wonderful!

:32:47
Thank you.
:32:49
Thank you very much.
:32:51
Well, I must go noW,
but I'll be back.

:32:56
And remember,
the smallest thing.

:32:59
Don't forget.
