This substance is secreted by a gland.

It is supposed to attract the female.

You are exciting him and

he is doing his best to excite you.

I don't think so. We only just met.

It isn't the mating season.

I don't understand.

I've never seen anything like that before.

Oh, thanks for everything.

Come by any time.

Night.

To make an old man happy...

...take the cablecar.

It is only a five minutes ride from town.

I don't know. Maybe.

And mind how you go. Without sleepwalking.

If it happens to you again, you must say:

I am sleepwalking, I must wake up.

I am sleepwalking, I must wake up.

I am sleepwalking, I must wake up.

I don't need that. I haven't had an attack for years.

The journey was probably to exhausting.

Or it was caused by the change of air.

Maybe the wind.

That is the foehn, a very strange wind.

It is typical for this area here.

It comes from the south over the Alps.

Such a sudden blast of warm air

causes snow avalanches.

Makes the flowers grow,

the larvae of the insects develop faster.

And many complain about headaches.

When it blows, they say

it drives some people to madness.

This is a rather strange part of the country here.

This Swiss Transylvania.

Would someone please tell me

what this examination is all about?

What you did last night is highly irregular.

No student ever left the

boarding school at night before.

How many times do I have to tell you that

I did not leave school on purpose.

I walked in my sleep.

This can happen.

But this is not normal.

And it is our duty to find the reason for that.

But don't you understand?

You will find out nothing.

I've been examined by specialists before.

It is not an illness.

Not yet, but it could become more serious.

And you can't remember anything?

Sleepwalking is far more serious

than talking in the sleep, ...

...or ransacking the fridge.

It could even lead to a new personality trying to emerge.

Sometimes it is the first step on the path to schizophrenia.

So you think I'm crasy?

O.k., forget your EEG.

Calm down, calm down.

O.k., start it.

I will show you who is crazy.

What is going on?

That is strange.

Do you suffer from epilepsy or

do you take something like... drugs?

I am not schizophrenic, epileptic or stoned.

Hello, Shapero Evans?

Hi, I'd like to speak to Moris please?

Jennifer Corvino.

Right, Paul Corvino's daughter.

He is out of town?

Three days?

Holidays?

Which holidays?

Look who is there.

Our zombie.

Have you heard, she walks in her sleep.

Walks in the sleep. If you ask me, she has got a problem.

For me, she is ill.

So thats Paul Corvino's daughter.

That doesn't give her the right

to be such a show-off.
