- He told me to stay. You're making a mistake. | - Come on.

- She eating? | - Not eating, drinking, sleeping, bathing,

letting anybody touch her, or saying a word.

- You're making a mistake. | - No, sweetheart.

Dr Sachs, he told me to stay.

I wiII have a word with him, Louise. | I promise.

What's with the heavy artiIIery?

It took about five guys | to get her off the poor feIIa up in Rockland.

Louis, is there | anything else you wanna teII me?

No.

Could you open the door, please?

- You OK? | - Am I OK?

- Yeah. | - I'm OK.

HeIIo.

EIisabeth, my name is Dr Conrad.

I'm a psychiatrist.

Word has it | that you haven't eaten for days.

I can understand that.

I used to work in this hospital. | I know what the food's Iike.

EIisabeth, would you mind | if I took your pulse?

That means I'm gonna have to touch you.

Now, that's not supposed to happen.

True catatonics have what's caIIed | a "waxy flexibility" of their Iimbs.

It means they stay | exactly where they're posed.

There's more to you | than meets the eye, EIisabeth.

You're very good at what you do.

So, is there anything you wanna talk about?

That's OK. We hardly know each other.

I know you must have been very frightened | to do what you did to that guy.

I know that you were angry, | because I saw those photos.

But I also know that you were in a Iot of pain,

because nobody is | in this place without a reason.

So maybe we'll talk next week.

You want what they want.

Don't you?

What who wants?

EIisabeth. What who wants?

I'II never teII.

Any of you.

HeIIo?

Who are you?

Five to three this old bag doesn't have cable. | I need my sports.

Dinner's over.

- How you doin', Tony? | - Good. Nice to see you, Doctor.

HeIIo?

This certainly Iooks Iike | the Conrad residence.

It smeIIs Iike the Conrad residence.

And it's definitely overheated, | Iike the Conrad residence.

But it doesn't sound | Iike the Conrad residence.

Hi, honey. I'm Iooking for a Iittle girl.

About four feet two, Iight brown hair.

Where did she go?

If I don't find that Iittle girl,

I'm gonna have to go downstairs | and find myseIf another Iittle girl.

I'II be back in ten minutes.

- Hi, Daddy. | - How are you?

- Look what I did in art class today. | - That's beautiful. Look at the colours.

- You've got such a unique vision. | - It's my vision, I swear.

- Aren't you supposed to be in bed? | - I can't sleep. I have mental problems.

- I see. What kind of mental problems? | - I'm highly neurotic.

- I think you've been in my study again. | - I needed the stapler.

- Go say good night to Mom. | - You're Iate.

- Good night, Mommy. | - Night, baby. You brush your teeth?

- Yeah. | - Can I smeII?

Delicious.
