:44:03
and hospitalized,
apparently in a state of hysteria.
:44:06
Doctors found that he had lost
all comprehension of French,
:44:09
but that he spoke
English fluently,
:44:11
albeit in a regional dialect
they didn't recognize.
:44:14
The man, though physically
unaffected by the gas,
:44:18
was beside himself.
:44:20
He claimed that he had come
from the future-
:44:23
that he was looking
for a pure germ...
:44:25
that would ultimately wipe mankind
off the face of the Earth...
:44:28
- starting in the year 1996.
:44:33
Though injured, the young soldier
disappeared from the hospital,
:44:37
no doubt trying to carry on
his mission to warn others,
:44:39
and substituting
for the agony of war...
:44:41
a self-inflicted agony
we call the "Cassandra Complex."
:44:46
Cassandra, in Greek legend,
was condemned to know the future...
:44:49
but to be disbelieved
when she foretold it.
:44:51
Hence, the agony of foreknowledge
combined with the impotence
to do anything about it.
:45:08
I'm going right out
to get vaccinated.
:45:11
- Hi.
- I think, Dr. Railly, you've given
the alarmists a bad name.
:45:15
- I have ?
- Mm-hmm. Surely there's
very real and convincing data...
:45:19
- that the planet cannot survive
the excesses of the human race.
- This is true.
:45:22
Proliferation of atomic devices,
uncontrolled breeding habits,
:45:26
pollution of land, sea and air,
the rape of the environment.
:45:30
In this context, isn't it
obvious that Chicken Little
represents the sane vision,
:45:35
and that Homo sapiens' motto,
"Let's go shopping,"
:45:38
is the cry of the true lunatic ?
:45:42
- Kathryn, it's time.
- My name is Troy.
:45:45
Please, Dr. Railly. I wonder
if you're aware of my own studies.
:45:55
See you at work tomorrow.
:45:58
Give you a call tomorrow.
