damnation of Faust" tonight.

- Sounds like fun.

I thought it was romantic.

- Religious nonsense.

- You don't believe in souls?

- Margarite did not ascend

to heaven it Goethe's

original version.

- You don't believe in souls.

- Goethe held that one

could be inwardly Christian

without following any of the

church's accepted beliefs

and practices.

He damned the whole history

of Christian theology

as a hodgepodge of

fallacy and violence.

- Some people find

solace in their faith.

- Which allows radicals

to find solace in death,

and that's what makes

them so dangerous.

But I'm being gloomy.

- You picked a gloomy opera.

- Something a little

lighter next time?

- The circus maybe?

Thank you for this evening.

- My pleasure entirely.

I'm sorry.

I made an unwelcome advance.

- It's not you.

I'm just really disorientated.

The whole day's been strange.

- Your resistance

to new thoughts?

- Sorry, I'm being boring.

- Give it a little time,

see where it leads.

That's how research works.

- How was the cocktail?

- It did something,

I just don't know what.

Everything just feels

really upside down.

- It worked pretty well for me.

- You had some?

- Do you think I'd give you

something if I didn't test it?

I went to the cinema and

watched some shitty horror film

in 3-d, or 4-d,

or maybe even 5-d.

- I'm certain it took me

to where I needed to go.

I'm just...

I'm not sure what

happened there.

- How is your new employer?

- He's simply making it

possible for me to do clinical

trials.

- Everything you're doing

looks a little desperate to me.

- Well, that's because you

see through paranoid eyes.

- You have got to learn

to chill out, Holly.

- She was troubled from birth.

Even as a baby, she

didn't look quite right.

- Poor thing.

- Not that I

noticed at the time.

She was great at first,

but as she got older

she just got weirder.

I just didn't want

to be around her.

- That must've been

confusing for you.

- Not as confusing as when my

parents took off in the car

and then came back without her.

Yeah, you would've thought

my father would've dropped

my mother off at the same time,

but he always forgave

her for everything.

You have a talent of getting

information out of people.

- You're a very

interesting woman.

Grazie.

Oh!

- Was the owner

schooled at Eton?

- Somewhere in Turin, I believe.

I performed a small

favor for him once

and he feels indebted to me.

- So you called out to

your mafia connections.

- The mafia is just

another violent cult

sanctioning psychopaths to

kill those who oppose them.

- That sounds like a no.

- Violent cults are the biggest

threat of the world today.
