1:27:01
After that, he began waking up
in the morning with transparentjelly...
1:27:05
like a tadpole's tail
all over his mouth.
1:27:09
He would tear it off his mouth
and the pieces would stick to his hands...
1:27:13
like burning gasoline jelly
and grow there.
1:27:17
So, finally, his mouth sealed over...
1:27:21
and the whole head...
1:27:23
would have amputated spontaneously
except for the eyes, you dig?
1:27:26
That's the one thing
that the asshole couldn't do was see.
1:27:29
It needed the eyes.
1:27:31
Nerve connections were blocked...
1:27:33
and infiltrated and atrophied.
1:27:36
So, the brain couldn't
give orders anymore.
1:27:39
It was trapped inside the skull...
1:27:42
sealed off.
1:27:46
For a while, you could see...
1:27:48
the silent, helpless suffering
of the brain behind the eyes.
1:27:55
And then finally
the brain must have died...
1:27:57
because the eyes went out...
1:28:00
and there was no more feeling in them
than a crab's eye at the end of a stalk.
1:28:18
You seem to like my little friend.
I'm so glad.
1:28:21
I'm writing a business piece
on corporate life in North Africa.
1:28:29
Oh, my, my.
1:28:31
We are fragile today, aren't we?
1:28:35
He has to get to know you first.
1:28:37
Oh, does he?
Well, let's see what we can do, then.
1:28:44
Kiki, will you come
and see the parrots with me?
1:28:46
There are cages in the master bedroom.
1:28:48
I, um, don't think I can, Mr. Cloquet.
1:28:51
That is, I don't really want to.
1:28:54
I'd particularly like to interview
a certain Dr. Benway.
