Patsy, my wife, worked out
a questionnaire...

1:05:03
a series of questions
about my childhood.

1:05:06
It's supposed to help me.
1:05:08
See, I don't remember
very much before I was 19.

1:05:12
- Well, Alfred, I don't mind answering questions...
- Nor do I.

1:05:16
If it'll help you, but I don't know
if I wanna be recorded.

1:05:19
Well, preserved for posterity.
1:05:21
I mean, do you really need that thing?
We could talk much more openly without it.

1:05:25
I need it. It'll help me.
1:05:27
Justice Holmes, I think it was,
hated wiretapping.

1:05:30
- I could look that up if you like.
- I might forget what you say.

1:05:34
Young people are just
so lazy about taking notes.

1:05:37
Well, I have nothing to say
that I mind being quoted on.

1:05:40
- It's the idea.
- It's the F.B.I.

1:05:42
I need it!
1:05:55
Was I a happy or an unhappy child?
1:06:09
- What is one to say?
- Well, every child has anxiety.

1:06:13
I mean, we're just not willing
to accept anxiety anymore.

1:06:15
Freud... I think it was Freud...
dates all anxiety back to the birth trauma.

1:06:19
Rank too.
1:06:25
- Was I breast-fed or bottle-fed?
- Sullivan.

1:06:28
Sullivan writes about
the significance of powerlessness.

1:06:29
Sullivan writes about
the significance of powerlessness.

1:06:31
It's years since
I've looked at Sullivan.

1:06:34
Doesn't Sullivan also
have something to say...

1:06:37
it could be Adler,
but I think it's Sullivan...

1:06:41
about the dynamism of apathy?
1:06:44
Dynamism of apathy.
That's a wonderful phrase.

1:06:47
The magical power of the cry.
1:06:49
You see, what Sullivan is saying
is that the cry brings help...

1:06:53
which leads to the correction
of the condition which led to the cry.

1:06:58
Was I difficult to toilet train?
