:59:02
...and there is no evidence,
no suggestion whatsoever of cancer!

:59:05
What else did Mason write you?
:59:09
Which of these has
the baboon vocalizations on them?

:59:11
-I'd like to hear them.
-Why?

:59:13
Did he write you that during
the regression...

:59:16
...I had an aphasic experience
for about four hours?

:59:18
The only sounds I could get out were
clicks and grunts.

:59:21
They sound like the baboon vocalizations
on your tapes.

:59:23
Mason said you took blood tests
and the lab report showed...

:59:25
...some characteristics
of simian blood group systems.

:59:28
They also picked up antigens
specific to man.

:59:30
I'd like to see that data.
:59:31
The thing to do is for me to get back
to that isolation tank and try it again!

:59:35
Let's see if it happens again!
None of us really believes it happened.

:59:38
After three months, I'm beginning
to wonder if it ever happened myself.

:59:42
They won't go back to the tank.
Mason's taken over the project.

:59:45
He's got Arthur up in his lab every day
fractionating rats' brains!

:59:48
What the hell am I supposed to do
while they're fractionating rats' brains?

:59:56
Everybody thinks your father's going nuts.
:59:59
Mommy, when are we going to eat?
1:00:04
Run along now and play with Grace.
1:00:06
I am convinced that the regression was
triggered by an act of consciousness.

1:00:10
When I was in the tank,
I entered another consciousness!

1:00:13
I became another self,
a more primitive self...

1:00:16
...and the drug, in some way...
1:00:19
...triggered the externalization
of that other, more primitive self.

1:00:24
At least look at my data!
1:00:25
Of course. Would tomorrow afternoon be--
1:00:27
Don't patronize me!
It's just possible I'm not mad, you know!

1:00:30
I'm asking you to make
a small quantum jump with me...

1:00:32
...to accept one deviant concept...
1:00:35
...that our other states of consciousness
are as real as our waking state...

1:00:38
...and that reality can be externalized!
1:00:40
You're screaming.
1:00:41
I get this patronizing shit...
1:00:42
...from Arthur and Mason for three months
and I'm sick of it!

1:00:45
We've got millions of years stored away
in that computer bank we call our minds!

1:00:49
We have got trillions of dormant genes
in us, our whole evolutionary past.

1:00:53
Perhaps I've tapped into that!
1:00:55
I want to get back into that tank
and repeat the experiment.

1:00:58
The most elementary laboratory behavior!
Repeat the experiment. Confirm it!
