1:14:00
I remember large fragments
of what happened, but not all of it.

1:14:07
You'll have to be patient with me.
1:14:10
I've had Mason looking all over Boston
for you all night.

1:14:14
It's okay. I'm all right.
1:14:25
I suppose getting a call at 2:30
in the morning from the police...

1:14:30
...to the effect your husband has been
found sleeping naked...

1:14:33
...in the city zoo might have caused you
some concern.

1:14:36
I think you could say that.
1:14:37
And Mason writing you this whole time
that I'm having a nervous breakdown...

1:14:40
...and you figured
I finally flipped out altogether.

1:14:46
I'm sorry, Emily. Forgive me. I know
what a harrowing day I've caused you.

1:14:50
I suppose you've been sitting here
all this time...

1:14:52
...trying to figure out
how to get me to a psychiatrist.

1:14:55
As a matter of fact, I have.
1:14:56
I don't know how you've put up with me
all these years.

1:15:02
I loved you.
1:15:07
Oh, my God, Emily, I don't know
how to tell you this. I really don't.

1:15:11
The implications are staggering.
1:15:14
Apparently I entered
a very primitive consciousness.

1:15:16
All I can remember is what was
comprehensible to that consciousness.

1:15:19
I don't remember, at least not clearly,
how I got out of the tank room.

1:15:24
The first thing I remember are the dogs.
1:15:26
I followed a pack of wild dogs to the zoo.
That's how I got there.

1:15:32
In the zoo, I hunted down,
killed and ate a small sheep.

1:15:39
I was utterly primal.
I consisted of nothing more...

1:15:42
...than the will to survive,
to live through the night...

1:15:45
...to eat...
1:15:48
...to drink...
1:15:52
...to sleep.
1:15:57
It was the most supremely
satisfying time of my life.
