:52:01
Well, with all due respect,
sir, that was my initial diagnosis.

:52:05
But I think we can all agree that that's
not some teenager with an identity crisis.

:52:09
Now she tells us that
her children are feeling this thing too, so...

:52:13
It's a mass illusion. Folie à quatre.
:52:17
Hysteria is contagious. Anyone can see
and feel things that simply aren't there.

:52:22
Her children just support her delusions.
:52:25
Classically correct, sir, but her mind is
giving her very strong and explicit images.

:52:29
Why is she going to such lengths
to support this delusion?

:52:32
Phil, look at the record. She believes
that her father has incestuous desires.

:52:37
She falls in love with an adolescent,
a typical overgrown kid.

:52:40
He tries to prove he's a real man and he's not.
After which she picks up with...

:52:44
- (all) Jerry Anderson?
- No, Garrett.

:52:46
- Oh, Garrett.
- Bob Garrett.

:52:48
A man old enough to be her father.
See a pattern here?

:52:51
- Yeah. I don't know that I agree.
- Safe sex. It's the story of Carla's life.

:52:57
She's consistently refused
to get involved in the real thing.

:53:01
- She has three children.
- What does that prove?

:53:03
- It doesn't take sex to make babies.
- That is a fact I wasn't aware of.

:53:07
- Well, now you know.
- Not real sex.

:53:09
For 32 years,
Carla goes along very smoothly.

:53:13
All of a sudden,
she meets this fellow... What's his name?

:53:16
Jerry Anderson? Ah, now I'm on it.
:53:18
OK. And pow!
She drifts into a Dionysian fantasy.

:53:24
Don't you see? It's the kind of situation
that can energise this sort of breakdown.

:53:28
- What, Anderson?
- Certainly. A real man. Sure.

:53:30
She wants the real thing.
No more faking it with kids and old men.

:53:35
And faced with the real thing, Carla buckles.
:53:38
She falls back into an infantile reality.
:53:41
I suggest you dig a lot deeper.
I think you're gonna find out more.

:53:45
And maybe you'll find out
that Carla is not what she seems to be.

:53:50
(male doctor) Hear, hear.
