Published, on this occasion,
under sole authorship.
402
Well, thank God for that.
403
Speaking of God, is Gerst coming?
404
We can only hope and pray.
405
That he comes or he doesn't?
406
I'm going for a smoke. Don't talk about
anything interesting till I get back.
407
How long have you lived here?
408
About six years, something like that.
Seven.
409
Hi, Dominic.
410
Hi, Milena.
411
Thank you.
412
The beauty about
antisocial behavior...
413
...is that it takes you away from other
people, however briefly1.
414
You're not an analyst2.
415
I'm a writer.
416
Really? What do you write about?
417
Oh, the lurid3, the sexual, the violent.
418
The basic instincts.
419
They're the most powerful,
aren't they?
420
Milena.
421
Oh, Michael.
422
I'm sorry, I didn't ask your name.
423
Catherine Tramell. Milena Gardosh.
424
Oh, you're Dr. Gardosh.
425
I've heard so many wonderful things
about you.
426
Catherine.
427
There you are.
428
Milena, Dr. Glass.
I see you've met Catherine.
429
She's doing research for a novel about
an eminent4 psychoanalyst.
430
I thought she might enjoy an occasion
like this.
431
Well, may I take your coats?
432
Thank you.
433
Excuse me.
434
Would you put that in my pocket?
435
Certainly.
436
Catherine, come this way.
437
What's going on? What was Gerst
thinking of, bringing her here?
438
I'm sure he's no idea who she is.
439
Where did he meet her?
440
She would have met him, believe me.
441
I can't stay here while I've got
a patient here. I have to go.
442
I understand.
443
If you follow inter-subjectivity to its
natural end...
444
...aren't you asking who's the patient
and who's the doctor?
445
Those were my very words.
446
Very good.
447
Note that one for future reference.
448
Are you leaving because of me?
449
You must have known I'd be here.
450
Is that a problem?
