Asylum Page #2

How are you finding Mrs. Raphael?

I don't have much to do with her.

I'm busy with my work.

But Mr. Archer tells me

of your recent interest in horticulture.

She's kind to me. I gave her

some flowers a few weeks ago.

And you danced with her.

Only to show you

I can behave myself with a woman.

I don't doubt it.

- You're pleased with my progress?

- I'm not here to judge you.

But, yes,

you're progressing as one would want.

And, in time...

work duties lead to my release?

Have patience, Edgar.

We still have many mountains to climb.

I've always done

everything you've asked.

Indeed, but that does not make you

ready for the world.

- But you've cured me.

- Of what exactly?

Severe personality disorder...

with features of morbid jealousy.

Continue with your work,

and we'll continue to take a view.

Any news on the job?

You'll be the first to know.

Stella behaving herself?

Yes, Mother.

That fellow's done wonders

with your glasshouse.

Yes, it's scrubbed up rather well,

hasn't it?

Our rockery resembles Berlin in '45.

Perhaps you could pass him over to us.

I don't know if it's my imagination,

but isn't he rather attractive?

- It's your imagination.

- He is attractive.

- Did he do something rather nasty?

- He murdered his wife.

Obviously sane.

Can't think why we got him.

What will happen to him?

I have no idea.

That's Peter's department.

I suspect he will be overhauling

rockeries for a good few years to come.

Here's to locking the door

and throwing away the key.

What the hell is wrong with you?

You had no right to say that.

The way he casually dismissed that

man's whole future, it was sickening.

Policy is not your concern.

- I thought the policy was to reform.

- It's none of your bloody business!

- Is it really so difficult to behave?

- Like the other wives?

- Like the other little ladies?

- Frankly, yes.

- Bye, Mrs. Bain.

- Behave yourself, Charlie.

Here, let me show you.

Not here.

Oh, no!

- I just had a bath.

- Your point being?

- I forgot my checkbook.

- Oh.

- Where did you last see it?

- Well, I don't know, do I?

Here it is.

Here we go, young man.

Let's go to the zoo.

Shall we do that first?

And then we can go

into the shop we went to...

Are you all right?

Have you seen a ghost?

What's the matter, darling?

There was a patient.

- What patient? Where?

- In the house.

He might've been in Mommy's bedroom.

Who was he? Do you know him?

Can I use the phone, please?

Is everything all right?

It's been suggested

that your dealings with Edgar Stark...

went beyond propriety.

- Suggested by who?

- John Archer.

And there have been whispers

among the patients.

These rumors soon get back to me.
