:06:02
There are some good people in the field:
Tart, Ornstein and Deikman...
:06:05
...but most of it is radical-hip stuff,
drug-culture apologias.
:06:09
Obviously, the first thing to do is
set up some sensible methodology...
:06:12
...study these experiences
under controlled laboratory conditions.
:06:15
It won't interfere with the work
we're doing with Hobart.
:06:18
What are we getting into?
Sensory deprivation? Isolation studies?
:06:21
I mean, where will we be going
with the tank stuff?
:06:24
We're not writing up a grant.
Strictly bootlegging, just for kicks.
:06:27
We've got the use of this tank.
Let's play with it.
:06:29
Let's find out where it takes us.
:06:32
It's fascinating stuff.
I think we ought to get into it.
:06:37
I didn't even know they had one of those
isolation tanks at New York Hospital.
:06:41
Must be some guy
in the Psychology Department...
:06:43
...doing sensory deprivation studies.
:06:46
What's Jessup doing with it?
:06:48
You've got me. He's been taking students
out of his classes and testing them.
:06:52
He's been doing this for three, four months.
:06:55
Did you know...
:06:57
...Jessup was into this kind of stuff?
:06:58
Not until you just told me.
:07:01
What do you want?
:07:02
How long are you going to let it ring?
:07:05
It's okay, I'll get it.
:07:06
He's the last guy in the world I figured...
:07:08
...to be screwing around with anything
as flaky as altered states of consciousness.
:07:12
Let's face it. Jessup is pretty flaky himself.
:07:18
That's him.
:07:40
Arthur says you're very shy.
He wants me to draw you out.
:07:43
Draw me out?
That doesn't sound like Arthur.
:07:46
Well, what he actually said was
you were a high-handed, arrogant prick.
:07:50
A little nuts, but brilliant...
:07:52
...and that if I ever got you talking,
I would find you fascinating.
:07:56
That sounds more like Arthur.
:07:57
He says you're doing some work with him
and Alan Hobart at Payne-Whitney.
