an obsessive desire.

Perhaps it ta...

We will discuss the location of the will

in the brain structure

at another time.

Mr. West!

I suggest you get

yourself a pen!

Class dismissed.

How can you teach such drivel?

These people are here to learn

and you're closing their minds

before they even have a chance!

What are you here for,

Mr. West?

You know, you should have

stolen more of Gruber's ideas,

then at least you'd have ideas!

Mr. West!

It is going to be

a pleasure to fail you.

I would like to propose a toast

to the National Science Foundation

for recognizing the genius

of Dr. Carl Hill,

and for awarding

Miskatonic Medical School

its largest grant ever.

Your new laser drill is going

to revolutionize neurosurgery.

To the foundation,

and to Miskatonic.

It's all right, sweetheart,

you can drink up.

We're celebrating.

I know, Daddy,

but I have to go soon.

After preparing such a feast,

you must be tired.

I have a study date.

With Daniel?

Yeah.

Daniel Cain'?

Herbert West has moved in

with him, hasn't he?

For the time being.

That must be him Excuse me.

So, your daughter

is seeing Cain, eh?

You think that's wise, Alan'?

Dan!

Hello, sir.

Dr. Hill.

Would you join us

for a glass of wine?

Actually, we have some

work to do.

Why don't you study here?

Well, I've her home soon,

don't worry.

Well then, one last toast?

To Megan...

my esteemed colleague's capable,

beautiful, loving daughter,

the obsession of all

who fall under her spell.

Dan.

No.

Please!

Okay, what is it?

I don't know, it's...

Look, it's not you, really.

It's just a lot of little things.

Like what?

Well, West is always in his room

with the door closed.

I mean, do you ever see him?

Does he ever eat?

I told you, he's a little cracked.

He bothers you, too.

No, don't be ridiculous.

Rufus is terrified of him.

When West comes in,

he runs and hides.

Rufus hides

and runs all the time,

it's standard cat activity.

Yes, but not when we're together,

then he's all over us trying

to get your attention and...

Where is he?

I haven't seen him

since we got here.

It's okay, he's around here.

I haven't even heard him,

usually he at least knocks

something over when I'm here.

Pss pss pss pss.

Rufus... Rufus... Rufus.

Pss pss pss pss.

Come on, you fat cat.

Here, kitty!

Rufus.

Come on now, you mad animal.

Don't you try to hide from me.

I know all of your tricks.

Rufus? Where are you, boy?

Here, kitty.

Here, kitty!

Here, kitty.

Rufus. Hey, boy!

Rufus?

Rufus?

Rufus.

Rufus?

Hey, boy.

Rufus, are you in here?

Here, boy.

Here, kitty.

Rufus?

Oh, Dan, I think it's...

What are you doing in my room?

- How dare you come in...
