MARTHA:
Look, someone gave her the baby.
MOTHER MIRIAM:
Yes, but that was some ten months ago.
I fail to see that the identity of that
somebody has anything to do with this
trial.
MARTHA:
Why do you think that?
MOTHER MIRIAM:
Don't ask me those questions dear,
I'm not the patient.
MARTHA:
Well I'm the doctor. I'm the one who's
going to decide what is, or is not
important here.
MOTHER MIRIAM:
Look doctor, I don't know how to tell you
this politely, but I don't approve of you.
Not you personally...
MARTHA:
The science of psychiatry.
MOTHER MIRIAM:
(standing)
Exactly. I want you do deal with Agnes
as speedily and as easily as possible.
She won't hold up under any sort of cross
examination.
MARTHA:
(also standing)
I am not with the Inquisition.
MOTHER MIRIAM:
And I am not from the Middle Ages. I
know what you are! I don't want that
mind cut open.
A little later, Martha is sitting alone smoking. SISTER ANNE
enters and indicates that Martha should follow her. They exit out of
the grilled room
and head up a steep flight of wooden stairs. Faintly the voice
of a single
young woman can be heard singing in Latin.
Martha follows Sister Anne down the hall towards the singing.
They stop outside Agnes' room. Martha looks to see...
... Agnes an almost childlike young woman singing happily,
looking out the
window. Then Agnes hears a slight sound and stops abruptly. She
turns to see
Martha standing in the doorway.
MARTHA:
Hello. I'm Doctor Livingston. I've been
asked to talk to you. May I?
AGNES:
Yes.
Martha moves further in the room. An ELDERLY NUN hovers outside
the door.
MARTHA:
You have a lovely voice.
AGNES:
No I don't.
MARTHA:
I just heard you.
AGNES:
That wasn't me.
MARTHA:
Was it Sister Marguerite?
Agnes laughs and Martha closes the door, shutting out the old
nun.
MARTHA (Cont.)
You're very pretty Agnes.
AGNES:
No I'm not.
MARTHA:
Hasn't anyone ever told you that before?
AGNES:
Let's talk about something else.
MARTHA:
What would you like to talk about.
AGNES:
I don't know.
MARTHA:
Anything... may I sit down?
AGNES:
Yes.
They both sit.
MARTHA:
First thing that comes to your mind?
AGNES:
God! But there's nothing to say about
God.
MARTHA:
Second thing that comes to your mind.
AGNES:
Love.
MARTHA:
Have you ever loved anyone?
AGNES:
Yes.
MARTHA:
Who?
AGNES:
Everyone.
MARTHA:
Well, who in particular?
AGNES:
Right now?
MARTHA:
Uh huh.
AGNES:
I love you.
MARTHA:
(a pause)
Agnes, have you ever loved another
man... other than, Jesus Christ?
AGNES:
Yes.
MARTHA:
Who?
