:15:01
I made it clear
in my letter to the company...
:15:03
this is not a position for a frightened girl.
:15:05
I am not a frightened girl.
:15:06
That's hard to believe
after what happened last night.
:15:08
If I were as timid as you seem to think,
Mr. Holland...
:15:10
I wouldn't have gone to the tower
in the first place.
:15:14
And what's so alarming about the tower,
Miss Connell?
:15:17
Nothing really.
:15:19
But you must admit
it's an eerie sort of place, so dark.
:15:22
Surely, nurses aren't afraid of the dark?
:15:24
Of course not.
:15:26
I used to be afraid of the dark
when I was a child.
:15:29
But I'm not afraid anymore.
:15:34
Frankly, it was something of a shock to
see my patient that way for the first time.
:15:38
Nobody had told me
Mrs. Holland was a mental case.
:15:44
A mental case?
:15:45
- I'm sorry.
- Why should you be?
:15:47
My wife is a mental case.
:15:50
Please remember that, Miss Connell...
:15:52
particularly when some
of the foolish people on the island...
:15:55
start regaling you with local legends.
:15:57
You'll find superstition a contagious thing.
:16:00
Some people let it get the better of them.
:16:04
- I don't think you will.
- No.
:16:08
Come along. I'll introduce you
to Dr. Maxwell and your patient.
:16:12
I can't tell you how glad I am
to have you here, Miss Connell.
:16:15
I know I'll enjoy working with you, Doctor.
:16:16
I have an enormous respect for nurses,
but most of them scare me.
:16:20
I always feel them behind my back,
looking at their training manuals...
:16:24
counting my mistakes.
:16:25
I'll keep tabs on you.
:16:29
She makes a beautiful zombie,
doesn't she?
:16:31
- It's pitiful.
- I knew Jessica. We were friends.
:16:35
Sometimes it's better for a doctor
to laugh...
:16:37
than pull a long face
when things are hopeless.
:16:39
Yes, I know.
:16:42
But I don't know about zombies, Doctor.
Just what is a zombie?
:16:46
A ghost, a living dead. It's also a drink.
:16:49
Yes, I tried one once,
but there wasn't anything dead about it.
:16:52
But we have a more serious problem
to deal with, Miss Connell.
:16:55
You want to know about your patient,
don't you?
:16:57
Please.
:16:59
I'll try to put it simply.
