to the things I love?

Vincent, come on. We're leaving.

Mr. Bruce, you haven't said anything

about my painting.

- Do you know what you almost did?

- What?

You almost killed a boy.

How can you let a paintbrush...

...fall 15 yards in front of you?

- I was shaking the paint out of it.

- Why'd you make him go after it?

- Because he's a fool.

If he's a fool,

why do you lead him on?

Because I'm mad.

Perhaps she was testing him.

Demanding a

demonstration of courage from him.

- Or an act of worship.

- I don't know what she was doing.

If she wanted to kill him, why didn't

she simply push him off the cliff?

All I know is, I shouldn't have

left him alone.

Look, that was my mistake, not yours.

I gave you the assignment. You

didn't have enough experience yet.

I thought it would be

good training for you.

The hard way, huh?

When I brought her back,

I tried to get her to admit what she did.

It was like trying to get her

to admit she's insane.

- She makes you forget she's a patient.

- Yes, she does.

She's very clever.

You still want to resign?

Could it be that you're

afraid of failing?

Do you remember I told you

we never issue a set of keys...

...to a worker untiI we think

he's ready?

If you didn't feel so deeply, I wouldn't

have this much respect for you.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Have you seen her? Is she all right?

Did she ask about me?

- She say anything about last week?

- I haven't seen her.

I haven't either,

or heard her playing either.

- You don't suppose she's ill?

- No, no, I don't think so.

You ought to realize it wouldn't be

right for me to act as a go-between.

I understand, yes, of course.

I beg your pardon.

I thought you'd understand

my being anxious.

I do. And when I see her,

I'll tell her that you asked about her.

Will you? That's very kind of you.

I don't mean to embarrass you,

but it means a great deal to me.

- I know.

- I suppose you think it's foolish...

...rather absurd,

this attachment of mine.

I don't think there's anything

foolish about it.

- You don't?

- No.

Not even under

these grotesque conditions?

No.

Well, still, it's possible to think of it

as a rather foolish thing.

She's so proud, you know?

Such a delicate creature.

And yet she allowed me to touch

her hair for a moment. You saw that.

You see, I really have

nothing else to live for.

Fourteen.

So many of these people

have such extraordinary minds.

Such extraordinary sensibilities.

Too extraordinary, I think, sometimes.

This is not a scientific theory.

Maybe it's romantic, but I often

compare them to fine crystal...

...which has been shattered by the

shock of some intolerable revelation.
