Mad to Be Normal Page #3

Yeah

something like that.

Is that okay?

- Yeah.

You know, radio, TV.

I'm going to have to call

you back about all this.

- Oh, okay.

- Yeah.

Yeah, if you could

call me back, that'd be great.

Yeah, we'll speak

soon, we'll speak soon.

Okay, cool.

Okay, bye.

- Bye bye.

So I was thinking I could

maybe make this place

more kinda homey.

You still here?

What did you have in mind?

Well, would you like

it to be more homey?

I have to forgive you first.

That's true.

Oh, I see.

I don't want you

moving anything.

Don't f***ing move anything.

I won't touch a thing.

Everything is in a

very particular place.

Is it?

You'll note my

filing system here.

It's very...

It's very unique.

Worked out to a micron.

Raymond.

Raymond, Raymond.

Follow your breathing,

follow your breath, yeah?

That's it.

That's it.

Mr. And Mrs. Holding.

John?

Do you want to come through?

Hello, Raymond.

This way.

John.

Mr. and Mrs. Holding.

I'm Dr. Laing.

I believe you've

already met Dr. Zemmell.

He hears voices.

Or at least we think he does.

I think Dr. Meredith

means well but I--

So why are we here?

I'll be honest.

I have great concerns

about leaving John here.

We saw somebody eating

what looked like cat food.

Some people say

you are experimenting

on your patients.

But I want John to be safe,

not in a mental hospital.

I know I can't help him at home.

According to Dr. Meredith,

you're a

catatonic schizophrenic.

John, could you at least

tell me what you want?

I want my own room.

And what will you do in there?

John, we will be able

to give you a room,

although here we

call them cells.

Erm, from the Latin cellar,

sort of a small room where a,

like where a nun

or a monk sleeps.

We'll take it from there,

does that sound okay?

Yeah.

So how will you treat him?

We'll give him what he

wants, we'll give him a cell.

And if he wants to

talk, we'll listen.

And that's it?

Yeah.

Come on.

Mama was struggling.

She held onto him, kept

saying please don't,

please don't please,

please don't.

I was just a little

boy of seven.

I saw it all.

I,

I can't get rid

of the smell of...

Sydney, I'll try and

help you let go of this.

I can't promise it will be easy.

Thank you.

You remember Jim?

Jim, of course,

good to see you again.

Something I said?

Jim's a wee bit down,

so he's gonna come back and

spend some time with us again.

And Aristotle, you know,

for whom I have great time

by the way, he

maintains that the brain

is mostly composed of water,

and if the moon can

affect the tides,

what, what can it do

to the human brain?

Won't be long now.

Won't be long for what?

The moon.

The moon.

The moon, stupid b*tch.
