:45:02
Does that all sound strange to you?
:45:04
No, that doesn't sound strange.
:45:07
It isn't unknown, you know,
for patients to seduce personnel...

:45:10
...and vice versa, unfortunately.
:45:20
Do you ever feel inclined to accept?
:45:25
Yeah.
:45:26
Yeah, sometimes I do.
And...

:45:30
You see, I don't really think
that Lilith is unhappy.

:45:34
Most of the patients are.
:45:37
But I don't think she is.
She's got some...

:45:43
- I don't know, she's got a kind of a...
- Rapture.

:45:47
- What was the word?
- Rapture.

:45:49
Rapture? That's a good word for it.
:45:51
Yes, it is. In Shakespeare's time,
it meant "madness"...

:45:54
...as the words "ecstasy"
and "innocence" often did.

:45:57
I think all of us here are concerned
with rapture in some way.

:46:01
And when a man devotes himself
to studying the nature of rapture...

:46:05
...he may find himself
dispossessed by it.

:46:07
That's one of the risks we take.
:46:10
Does she ever talk to you
about her delusions?

:46:15
Yeah.
:46:16
Oh, yeah.
:46:18
In her case, it's seldom possible
to tell what is fantasy and what is fact.

:46:24
Has she ever spoken to you
about her family?

:46:28
No, I don't think so.
:46:31
She had a brother who was
killed accidentally in a fall.

:46:34
She's never mentioned him,
I suppose.

:46:52
Well, you know,
I never try to question her.

:46:55
No, I wouldn't.
:46:57
That's apt to be disastrous.
