- Something's happened to Nick.
- It's my head.

:57:11
- It's my head. It's my head.
-( Tom ) What's happened?

:57:14
There was this guy at school
Nick liked to imitate saying this.

:57:17
He had taken mescaline, and he
went around doing this about his head.

:57:20
- It's my head. It's my head.
- ''It's my head.''

:57:23
- Nick took mescaline?
- No. I mean, it was the other guy, Voss.

:57:27
- We did take mescaline.
- You what?

:57:29
He shouldn't be reacting this way though.
I don't know what happened.

:57:33
It was really mild.
:57:36
Are you joking?
:57:43
It's called Truth.
:57:45
You stretch a Kleenex over the mouth
of a glass and place a dime on it.

:57:48
We each take turns
burning a hole in it with a cigarette.

:57:51
If the dime falls in on your turn,
you lose...

:57:54
and you have to answer,
with absolute honesty...

:57:57
whatever question you're asked,
no matter how embarrassing.

:58:02
Yeah. The more embarrassing,
the better.

:58:10
What are you reading?
:58:12
The Story of Babar.
:58:16
I forgot how beautiful it was.
:58:20
Sometimes you can find out
the most amazing things.

:58:22
It can really be incredible.
:58:25
- I don't think we should play this.
- Why not?

:58:28
There are good reasons why people
don't go around telling each other
their most intimate thoughts.

:58:32
What do you have to hide?
:58:34
No, I just know that games like this
can be really dangerous.

:58:37
- Dangerous?
- I don't see what's dangerous about it.

:58:40
You don't have to. Other people have.
That's how it became a convention.

:58:45
People saw the harm
that excessive candor can do.

:58:47
You admit that it's basically
just a social convention then.

:58:50
What you say might be true among people
who don't know each other well...

:58:53
but surely not with us.
:58:55
- Then it's even worse.
- Okay. Let's discuss this.

:58:59
Basically, what this game requires
is complete candor...
