:07:04
Now, why?
:07:06
Because there's no one else
within a hundred miles of that desk...
:07:09
who can handle him, and perhaps
understand what this is all about.
:07:13
The regular hospital will be useless,
and so will the other doctors here.
:07:17
-That's an unwarrantable statement.
-Well, it's true.
:07:19
They'll be cool and professional.
:07:21
Underneath, they'll be disgusted
and immovably English...
:07:24
just like my court.
:07:26
-What am l? Polynesian?
-Please, Martin.
:07:29
-This is the last favor l'll ever ask of you.
-No, it's not.

One more dented /itt/e face.
One more ado/escent freak.
:08:09
The usua/ unusua/.
:08:12
This room will be completely yours.
No one will come in without your saying so.
:08:17
There's a bell if you need anything.
:08:19
There's a lavatory down the corridor,
second door on the left.
:08:27
l think this is one of the nicest rooms
in the whole place. Don't you, Mr. Pearce?
:08:32
Absolutely.
:08:40
Sometimes, / b/ame Hesther.
:08:43
She brought him to me.
:08:45
Of course, that's nonsense.
:08:46

A /ast symbo/. That's a//.
:08:52
/ was ripe for the confrontation.
