Katherine.
- Just give me a minute, will you?
Will you trust me?
Will you please trust me? Will you?
I work for the county.
This is a public-spirited gesture.
- I will give you my name...
- Kibner wants people to fit the world.
- I wanna report this.
- I want the world to fit people.
- We'll talk about this later.
- Where's Homer? Or Kazantzakis?
- Where's Jack London?
- Where's Elizabeth?
- I'm afraid!
- I understand, I know.
I understand. Let me have your hand.
- Katherine, just trust me.
- Isn't he wonderful?
Come on.
There. That's not so bad, is it?
Who's this behind me?
- It's Ted.
- That's right.
Hold on. Come on, just hold on.
Hold on. Just relax now.
- You gonna be all right? You feel better?
- Yeah. Yes.
- You wanna go home now?
- Yes.
- Will you come and see me tomorrow?
- Please... tomorrow.
Tomorrow we'll all talk.
OK? The three of us?
OK, but I better take her home.
Yes. It's OK.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- OK.
- All right?
- OK.
Thank you.
They don't wanna hear
about the accident.
It's a big conspiracy.
- What's a conspiracy?
- Everything.
Excuse me.
I understand what you're trying to say.
My name is Elizabeth Driscoll,
the Public Health Department. Call me.
Katherine! Come on, Katherine.
That woman's husband
is not her husband.
I saw him with Geoffrey. He's one of them.
She knows about it
- and nobody's helping her.
- No. Somebody's helping her.
I'm glad you heard that. David, Elizabeth.
I've heard it all week. It's popular.
- What is?
- I was trying to tell you
- that I also know somebody...
- Who's changed.
- Yes.
- Can we go outside and talk about it?
Listen, there's a lady up top - red hair,
blue dress. She's interested in your work.
I've heard the same damn story
this week from six patients.
People are changing,
becoming less human.
It's happening all around us.
That's not what we're talking about.
This has nothing to do with
the man I live with.
It has everything to do with it.
Don't you see?
People step in and out of relationships
because they don't want responsibility.
That's why marriages are going to hell.
The family unit is shot to hell.
- David, you're not listening to her.
- Stay out of this!
You see, that's the point.
I'm listening,
but he doesn't think I am. Why?
Because he doesn't expect me
to bother enough, or to care.
- Bellicec, for the last time, stop!
- Stop what?!
- Stand still, be quiet, and shut up!
- Jack!
How did you feel about that?
Why in the store? He's a nut.
How did you feel?
You were probably shocked.
You wanted to shut your feelings off,
maybe make believe it wasn't happening
cos then you don't have to deal with it.
I wanna deal with that woman
in the bookstore.
Why?
Do you identify with her?
Yes.
OK.
Come on.
Suppose I were to tell you that Katherine
is trying to escape from a relationship.
- He's treating her.
- So why'd he push me against a wall?
- She's upset.
- She looks fine.
- She is upset, Jack.
- You look upset to me now.
Do me a favour, will ya?
Go home and I'll call you later.
- Go home and leave us alone for a bit.
- Go home?
- OK?
- OK. OK.
Thank you.
You're jumping to a bizarre conclusion.
That this man you live with
has been replaced by somebody else.
Isn't it more likely
you want to believe he's changed
because you're really looking
for an excuse to get out?
I don't know.
Will you think about it, please,
before you make a move?
Before you jump and
destroy something you have. Will you?
Please?
Yeah.
Thank you.
I just gave her
a psychological Band-Aid, Matthew.
I should talk to her some more.
You could bring her by my office
tomorrow around four.
What's the matter with her?
It's like there's some kind of
hallucinatory flu going around.
People get over it in a day or two.
All I can do is treat the symptoms.
She's gonna be OK?
A good night's sleep wouldn't hurt.
- Is it contagious?
- Oh, Matthew!
- Take her home to her
