:33:00
maybe what one would call...
:33:02
the well-adjusted
normal person...
:33:04
only carried
to an extreme degree...
:33:07
to an extreme extent.
:33:09
I myself felt that one could...
:33:12
really think of him
as the ultimate conformist.
:33:19
Leonard, do you know
why you're here?
:33:24
To discuss psychiatry, right?
:33:26
You're a doctor?
:33:28
Yes, I am.
:33:30
Perhaps you've read
my latest paper...
:33:33
on delusional paranoia.
:33:35
Turns out
the entire thing is mental.
:33:38
Suppose I tell you
you're not a doctor.
:33:44
I would say
that you're making a joke.
:33:49
Incidentally, is it
always so bright in here?
:33:52
I'm recording these sessions
on film, if you don't mind.
:33:56
There's somebody
behind there, right?
:33:58
That's right.
That's a camera.
:34:02
Why don't we start
with simple reality.
:34:05
Leonard, you're not a doctor.
:34:08
You're a patient,
and I'm the doctor.
:34:11
I wouldn't tell it to
too many people if I were you.
:34:17
Leonard, you're not a doctor.
:34:19
Is she going to be all right?
:34:22
I've got to get back to town.
:34:26
Really. I have
an interesting case--
:34:28
treating two sets
of Siamese twins...
:34:31
with split personalities.
:34:32
I'm getting paid
by eight people.
:34:34
"The first week's sessions
did not go too well..."
:34:38
writes Dr. Fletcher
in her diary.
:34:40
"Leonard identifies with me...
:34:42
"and is convinced
that he is a doctor.
:34:45
"He is guarded and suspicious.
:34:47
"There is something
very appealing about him, too.
:34:50
"He's quick-witted
and energetic.
:34:52
"Perhaps it is his very
helplessness that moves me.
:34:56
"I must keep flexible
and play the situation by ear."
