David and Lisa

I'll tell them we're here.

Oh, hello.

You're the new boy here, aren't you?

I think your room is right next to mine. Let me help you with the bag.

You touched me!

You fool! You touched me!

You want to kill me?

You fool! You want to kill me?

You want to kill me.

Ooh, he touched me.

David, David, stop it at once.

Pull yourself together immediately.

A touch can kill.

You know that isn't true. Now, control yourself.

A touch can kill!

Dr. Swinford's secretary is coming. We're going to wait in his office.

Touch can kill.

Would you follow me, please?

Please sit down.

- Still 12:17. - What?

It wasn't working the last time we were here either.

What's the point of having a clock which won't work?

He probably has a wristwatch.

- A Mickey Mouse wristwatch. - Hello.

- Sorry to keep you waiting. - Oh, it isn't important.

The important thing is to get David settled.

I'II take him right up to his room so he can unpack.

- Would you like to say goodbye now? - I want to go up to his room with him.

I'm sorry. Visitors aren't allowed in the rooms.

But surely I can see it?

The rooms belong to the students.

Goodbye, Mother.

Goodbye, darling. Write often, won't you?

I'II miss you terribly.

I'II be right back.

Here we are, Mrs. Ferris. This is David Clemens.

Hello, David.

Mrs. Ferris is our housekeeper. Anything you want, just ask her.

See you in a little while.

Have you thought of anything else since our talk a week ago,

anything about the nightmares, perhaps?

Nightmares?

Yes, I believe it was Mr. Clemens who mentioned them.

They began when he was three or four years old.

Oh, stomach aches.

His father would take him out, buy him candy bars.

Those two would eat anything.

I had two little boys on my hands, really.

You do understand that neither his father nor I ever hit or slapped him. Never.

This... This notion of his about being touched,

it wasn't anything we did.

Hey! New guy in.

I want to see!

What's his name?

Hey, come on, let's go see him. Where is he?

Hey, let's see the new kid.

Who is it?

It's Dr. Swinford.

I want a lock installed in my door immediately.

No one will come in without your permission.

How do I know that?

That's one of our rules.

Things look in pretty good shape here.

Could we talk for awhile?

Dr. Swinford, I submitted to extensive testing

and other nonsense for two full days last week.

I'm here, I'll go along with the routine,

with the indignities.

But frankly, I don't care for any more interviewing.

It's not interviewing. It's just talking things over

so that perhaps I can help you.

After all, that's what we're both here for, David.

All right.

Then let's say if I feel like talking to you,

I'II talk to you.

I'm available.

Dinner's not until 6:00.

You can go outdoors if you like.

I thought I told you, I loathe athletics.

Go for a walk.

A walk?

You may leave after classes if you want to,

just so long as you let me know when you're going out.

What time is it now?

3:55.

May I see your watch?

Mediocre. Do you have any others?

I have a wristwatch. Right now it's not working.

The clock in your office isn't working either.

No. I haven't had time to have it fixed.

You'll have time now, won't you?

The time you'll save by not talking to me.

See you later, David.

Cow.

- Lisa... - Cow, cow, cow.

Big black cow, big fat sow

- and how, how! - Lisa?

Cow, cow, cow.

Would you like to look at some pictures, Lisa?

So they sat,

so they sat,

and so they sat.

Big fat cow,

big black sow,

and how and how and how.

Well, where is he, the new inmate?

Maybe somebody warned him about the food in this joint.

He has a terrible temper.

Why? What's the matter with him?

He must be exceptional, like the rest of us.

What does that mean?

You've been here a year and you don't know?

I hear that the new boy is tall and blonde, my type.

You just touch him and he turns on you.

Hey, Kate, you can touch me anytime.

Is that all you will think about, even when you're eating?

Maureen, I don't like celery soup so I'm not going to eat it.

- Is that all right, Maureen? - That's all right.

There he is.

Yeah!

Hello, David.

I'm Maureen. You're going to be at my table.

Would you like to come and meet everyone?

This is David Clemens who arrived today.

David, this is Sandra.

How do you do?

- And Carlos. - Hiya.

Josette,

- and Simon... - We've already met.

...and Kate. - Hello.

Man, you classy dresser.

You're gonna be the best-dressed guy in this school.

The rest are such slobs.

Do you play chess?

Will you play with me after dinner?

Oh, don't forget, after dinner we have a meeting to discuss clothes.

Hey, what club are you gonna vote for?

I despise clubs.

Would you like to join our bowling team?

I despise bowling.

Oh, come on, man.

It's good exercise.

Exercise is for idiots!

Fine, David. That's very, very good.

- Who is it? - It's Alan.

- What do you want? - May I come in?

No, I'm busy.

Okay, I'll try some other time.

Hop, skip, jump. I'm not a lump, I'm not a lump.

Hop, skip, jump. I'm not a lump, I'm not a lump.

No, you're not a lump. You're a girl, Lisa.

I'm not a lump and I like to jump.

I'm not a lump and I like to jump.

I'm not a lump and I like to jump.

You're not a lump. You're not a lump.

You're a girl, Lisa.

I'm not a lump, I'm not a lump, I'm not a lump, I'm not a lump...

All right.

You're Muriel.

Would you like to play a game, Muriel?

What would you like to do?

No, we can't go outside now.

It's nearly dinnertime.

Would you like to look out the window?

It's "with" not "wit." With.

Here, I'II show you.

Come on.

This is the way you spell "with."

W, I, T, H.

"With."

Why don't you comb your hair?

It looks fine in the morning but right now it looks terrible.

Wait.

I'II play with you.

What would you like to play?

No, no, Lisa.

You mustn't write on the wall.

Give me the crayon, Lisa.

I'm sorry, Lisa.

I'm going to have to take the crayon away from you.

John, John, be gone, be gone.

Enough of this stuffy stuff!

Are you angry with me, Lisa?

Angry, angry, wangry, wangry, angry.

Are you angry because I took your crayon?

You foo, you foo, it's you, it's you!

Foo, foo, foo, foo, foo!

John is a louse!

A big fat louse on a little gray mouse!

May I have a word with you?

Sure, David.

I've been studying your patient and I've come to several conclusions.

I'd like to hear them.

Based on the fact that I've read a great many books in your field.

Go on.

My diagnosis is adolescent schizophrenia,

undoubtedly of a chronic variety.

Do you follow me?

Yes, I do.

Well, then I shall continue.
