:41:02
I merely added up the facts.
:41:04
Please, let's not talk about it anymore.
:41:07
We've got to talk about it.
:41:08
You can't let yourself go to pieces
over a thing like that.
:41:12
I'm sure you place no stock
in that silly legend...
:41:14
about your family
being cursed by the wolves.
:41:17
I'm not sure.
:41:20
I know you scoff at the Allenby curse...
:41:23
but ever since my parents were killed...
:41:25
I've had the strangest dreams.
:41:28
Dreams in which it seemed
I lived a long time ago.
:41:32
I took part in pagan rites.
:41:35
I assumed the form of a wolf.
:41:38
I even hunted with the wolves.
:41:40
Those dreams are easily explained.
:41:42
Someone probably told you
weird stories about the curse...
:41:45
when you were a child.
:41:47
Certainly, you don't believe
in werewolves, do you?
:41:50
Many people do.
:41:51
There was an ancient tribe, the Hirpini...
:41:54
which worshipped wolves.
:41:55
- But that was centuries ago.
- Yes.
:41:57
But even today in Scotland,
on nights when the dogs howl...
:42:01
people hang out lighted lanterns
to ward off evil spirits.
:42:04
You've evidently been reading up
on the subject, haven't you?
:42:07
Yes, I have.
:42:09
Plato and Pythagoras on the
transmigration of souls, I suppose.
:42:13
Yes.
:42:14
Don't tell me
you've overlooked Shakespeare.
:42:16
Let's see, now.
Merchant of Venice, wasn't it?
:42:20
"Thou almost mak'st me waver in my faith
:42:24
"To hold opinion with Pythagoras
:42:26
"That souls of animals infuse themselves
:42:28
"Into the trunks of men.
Thy currish spirit
:42:32
"Govern'd by a wolf who,
hang'd for human slaughter
:42:36
"Even from the gallows did his fell soul fleet
:42:38
"And, whilst thou layest in thy
unhallowed dam
:42:41
"Infus'd itself in thee for thy desires
:42:44
"Are wolfish, bloody, starv'd and ravenous"
:42:47
- Barry, stop it!
- Oh, darling.
:42:51
I'm sorry. I didn't realise
it would hit you like this.
:42:57
I'm so terribly frightened.
:42:59
Hold me tight, awfully tight!
