Introduce 'em? Ha!

Doc, you flip me, you really do.

Look. I don't have to put on much.

Let's go on out and have a little fun.

Mrs White.

I don't underst...

I had another one, hadn't I?

A little one.

I was hopin'...

I think l'd better tell you as well as I can

just what the situation is.

Have you ever heard of multiple personality?

Now all Dr Luther had to do

was to explain this situation to Ralph.

- How are you, Ralph?

- Good morning, sir.

- How's Evie?

- Much better now.

- Have you found out what's wrong with her?

- That's what I wanted to talk to you about.

It's a very unusual case.

One of the rarest, in fact,

in the history of psychiatry.

You don't say.

Mrs White's problem is

what is called multiple personality.

- Yes, sir.

- Have you ever heard of that?

- No, sir, I can't say as I ever have.

- What actually happens is this:

At some point in the past,

apparently when she was a little girl,

her personality became divided

into two different personalities.

In effect, she's now two different women,

entirely different in character.

To be more specific about it -

the girl you married, Bonnie's mother,

the sweet, quiet girl you fell in love with,

that's one of the women.

The other is the one that scared Bonnie,

the one who bought all those clothes

and had that row with you in Atlanta.

You know those headaches

and blackout spells?

Well, that was when this other woman,

the one who calls herself Eve Black,

was trying to get out.

Out of where?

Out of the body. Your wife's body.

Well, how do you like that?

But what I want you to understand

is that this is an actual mental condition.

It isn't pretending or faking.

She can't help it.

But that doesn't mean she's psychotic.

Crazy.

Do you understand?

No, sir.

Well, let's see if I can put it

to you in another way.

In the first place, no one has ever defined

the personality as a psychopathological...

- I think you'd better come with me.

- Yes, sir.

(knock on door)

Come in.

- You've got company this morning.

- Hello, honey.

Hi.

- How's Bonnie?

- She's all right.

I asked Ralph to come in so that

I could explain the situation to him.

So he'll understand when you leave here.

You know who he is, don't you?

- You mean Ralph?

- Who is he?

Well, he's my husband, of course.

And you're the mother of his child,

aren't you?

Of course.

- You're Mrs White? That's your name?

- Yes, sir.

All right, now, may I speak with Eve Black?

Of course.

Eve Black?

- Oh, spit!

- You know who this is?

- I sure do.

- Now, just a minute there.

Your husband?

If I have told you once I have told you

ten thousand times, I ain't got no husband.

If I was gonna have one, it wouldn't be
