:07:01
What do you want?
:07:02
How long are you going to let it ring?
:07:05
It's okay, I'll get it.
:07:06
He's the last guy in the world I figured...
:07:08
...to be screwing around with anything
as flaky as altered states of consciousness.
:07:12
Let's face it. Jessup is pretty flaky himself.
:07:18
That's him.
:07:40
Arthur says you're very shy.
He wants me to draw you out.
:07:43
Draw me out?
That doesn't sound like Arthur.
:07:46
Well, what he actually said was
you were a high-handed, arrogant prick.
:07:50
A little nuts, but brilliant...
:07:52
...and that if I ever got you talking,
I would find you fascinating.
:07:56
That sounds more like Arthur.
:07:57
He says you're doing some work with him
and Alan Hobart at Payne-Whitney.
:08:01
What sort of work?
:08:03
Toxic metabolite stuff.
:08:04
We're replicating Heath's
and Friedhoff's strategies...
:08:06
...trying to find maverick substances
specific to schizophrenia.
:08:09
I think we're chasing our tails.
What do you do?
:08:11
I'm a physical anthropologist.
I'm sweating out my dissertation.
:08:14
Where?
:08:15
Columbia.
:08:16
Holloway, and that bunch.
:08:19
You're kind of young for a Ph.D.,
aren't you?
:08:21
I'm 24.
:08:23
That's still pretty good.
:08:24
I didn't get my Ph.D. until I was 25.
I'm supposed to be a whiz kid.
:08:29
I'm a whiz kid, too.
:08:36
Anthropology seems to attract
good-looking women.
:08:41
So you don't think schizophrenia can be
reduced to a single etiological agent?
:08:47
I'm not even sure it's a disease.
:08:49
You think madness is simply
another state of consciousness?
:08:52
There's a body of evidence to support that.
:08:56
You don't Iike to talk
about your work, do you?
:08:59
As a rule, no.
