:31:01
so they can't help saying things.
That's next, isn't it?
:31:17
Do you know why you're here?
:31:22
So you can give me truth drugs?
:31:25
He actua//y be/ieves they exist.
:31:27
-Truth drugs?
-Yes.
:31:29
-And don't they?
-Of course not.
:31:31
The important thing is
that he wants a way to speak...
:31:36
finally tell me
what happened in those stables.
:31:38
Tape is too isolated...
:31:39
and hypnosis, he pretends, is a trick,
so he can deny it later.
:31:44
l'm tempted to play a real trick on him.
:31:48
Like what?
:31:49
Give him an aspirin.
:31:51
Tell him it's
the strongest truth drug in the world.
:31:54
He'd just deny everything again afterwards.
The same thing all over.
:31:59
No, because l'd tell him
the truth afterwards...
:32:02
that it was simply an aspirin.
:32:04
He'll believe me.
:32:07
Underneath all that glowering,
the boy trusts me.
:32:09
You realize that?
:32:10
l'm sure he does.
:32:12
Poor, bloody fool.
:32:13
Please, Martin, dear, don't start that again.
:32:20
Can you do anything worse to somebody
than to take away their worship?
:32:26
-Worship?
-Yes, that word again.
:32:29
lsn't that a little extreme?
:32:31
Extremity is the point.
:32:36
Worship isn't destructive, Martin.
l know that.
:32:40
l don't. l only know it's the core of his life.
:32:44
What else has he got? Think about it.
He can hardly read.
:32:48
He knows no physics or engineering
to make the world real to him...
:32:51
no paintings to show him
how others have enjoyed it...
:32:54
no music except television jingles...
:32:56
no history except
tales from a desperate mother...
:32:59
no friends to give him a joke
or make him know himself more moderately.
