:25:15
Do you know what "crazy" is ?
Crazy is majority rules. Yeah.

:25:19
Take germs for example.
:25:21
- Germs ?
- Uh-huh.

:25:24
In the eighteenth century,
no such thing. Nada. Nothing.

:25:27
No one ever imagined such a thing !
No sane person anyway.

:25:30
Along comes this doctor.
Uh, uh-

:25:35
Semmelweis !
:25:37
Semmelweis.
:25:39
Semmelweis comes along and
he's trying to convince people,
other doctors mainly,

:25:43
that there are these teeny, tiny,
invisible bad things called germs...

:25:46
that get into your body
and make you sick.

:25:48
He's trying to get doctors
to wash their hands.

:25:51
What is this guy ?
Crazy ?

:25:53
Teeny, tiny, invisible "what do you
call 'em ? Germs ? Huh ? What ?"

:25:56
Now, cut to
the twentieth century.

:25:59
Last week as a matter of fact,
right before I got dragged
into this hellhole !

:26:04
I go in to order a burger
in this fast-food joint.
The guy drops it on the floor.

:26:09
Jim, he picks it up,
wipes it off.

:26:11
He hands it to me
like it was all okay.

:26:13
"What about the germs ?" I say.
He says, "l don't believe in germs.

:26:16
Germs are a plot they made up so they
can sell you disinfectants and soaps."

:26:20
Now, he's crazy, right ? See ?
:26:27
There's no right. There's no wrong.
There's only popular opinion.

:26:32
You, you, you believe in germs, right ?
:26:34
I'm not crazy.
:26:37
Of course not !
You wanna escape, right ?
That's very sane.

:26:43
I can help you. You want me
to, don't ya ? Get you out ?

:26:49
- You know how to get outta here ?
:26:51
Yes, my son !
:26:54
- Then why don't ya ?
- Why don't I try to escape ?
That's what you were gonna ask.

:26:58
Good question.
Very good question. Intelligent.
