A blood test will pick up childhood
disease, any kind of metabolic disorder
You think she's gonna sit there
and let me stick a needle in her?
I'll hold her
It's okay, darling. It's okay
Do it
Do it
Shh... shh. It's okay
If you're right...a big if...
if she's never left this cabin
or this part of the forest
never known anybody but her mother...
never encountered any of
the images of the modern world,
never seen a car,
a television a gun, a Hershey bar...
never heard rock'n'roll music or
But now you said she can talk
Yeah, but it's some kinda
language of her own
Well, we haven't had a true wild child
in this country for sixty years
She's not a wild child
It's just a shorthand term, Dr. Lovell
She's not a child
No. That's what makes
this case so unique
This is not your field, I know
Bur let me tell you
what we're dealing with here
Some pretty fundamental issues
How was the personality formed?
We don't know
How much is innate,
how much is learned? We don't know
Where do gender roles come from?
We don't know
Because you can't take a baby
and have it grow up in a lab...
- and monitor and control every influence...
- You want to have her grow up in a lab?
Grow up in a lab? No
Dr. Lovell thinks you're gonna do
a Frankenstein number on her, Al
Oh, well, uh... all right...
Let me ask you this, Dr. Lovell
Can she survive on her own?
Well
I don't know
Yeah, well, all right,
suppose she cannot
Who's gonna look after her? You?
Me? Why me?
All right, so who's volunteering?
I can tell you this much
It's gonna be somebody
with an ulterior motive
Everybody who cares for
someone has an ulterior motive
Even Mother Teresa
She wants to know that her life
has been of some use to others
And so do I
Excuse me
Oh, sh*t
Yeah, I'm on my way
Well, Lovell, did I wake you up?
Hey, Todd, it's okay.
I overslept. What's up?
I'm looking at a commitment order
that's just been issued for Nell
What does that mean?
Well, it means they're
gonna take her away
It's a court order, Jerry.
I have to enforce it
When, now?
Well, that's what it says
Can you give me some time?
- I guess I could hold off till after lunch
- Try and make it a long lunch, will ya?
Well, what do you say there, Don?
Not fishing today?
Todd
Sorry about this, Jerry?
Hi
Well, we've...
come to pick Nell up
Yeah, I heard
I've got the court order
You do know it's in her
own best interests right?
Did you ask her?
Well, you know that's impossible
Tell 'em, Don
Well, I have a court order
here that says...
if you don't get Nell's informed consent,
you're violatin' her rights
And if you do that, I'm gonna sue
