:16:05
Thank you.
:16:07
What are the consequential ones?
:16:10
- Does that light bother you?
- Not at all.
:16:12
- Do you use your eyes a great deal?
- I generally keep them open, doctor.
:16:18
What do you do on Long Island?
:16:20
Horses, dogs, shooting, yachting,
travel, parties, gossip.
:16:24
All the pleasures
of the station-wagon crowd.
:16:27
- You don't think much of that, do you?
- No, not much.
:16:29
Why not?
:16:31
It just doesn't appeal to me.
:16:33
You condemn everything
that doesn't appeal to you?
:16:35
Oh, by no means.
:16:37
You asked for my opinion,
and I gave it.
:16:41
Well, anyway, that's my racket.
:16:43
- What's yours?
- Mine?
:16:46
Brain surgery, large practice,
about 1 0 days off every summer.
:16:50
Sounds awful.
:16:52
- It is.
- Then why do you do it?
:16:54
Like yourself,
I've been caught in a racket.
:16:56
Oh, doctor, what a relief to know
that you're no better than I am.
:17:08
Thanks.
:17:11
But you see,
I'm clearing out of my racket.
:17:13
I'm leaving for Vermont
in about 1 5 minutes.
:17:16
You don't mean that narrow, pinched-up
state on the wrong side of Boston?
:17:20
- That's the one.
- No kidding?
:17:22
- No kidding.
- What will you do, between yawns?
:17:25
- You wouldn't be interested.
- Oh, come now.
:17:27
After leading me on like this... .
:17:29
- Scientific research on cell growth.
- In guinea pigs?
:17:32
- No, just cells.
- Sounds silly.
:17:34
So I'm told.
:17:36
Still, I almost envy you. Must be nice
to believe in what you're doing.
:17:40
- Don't you?
- Not in the way you do.
:17:43
Oh, I'm not complaining.
:17:44
Take it all in all,
they've dealt me a very good hand.
:17:47
I'm young, I have no particular
responsibilities.
:17:50
I don't intend to cultivate any either.
One's freer without.
:17:53
I shall probably marry someday.
No hurry about that.
:17:56
When I do, I shall build a house
on a ridge I know with a glorious view.
