To be perfectly candid, Mr. Falk, it was your son who provided that damning information, and only after I assured him it would remain “privileged”. Were you actually plotting to commit a criminal act, I would be duty-bound to inform the authorities. The fact that you have committed past crimes, if admitted during therapy, cannot be divulged by your psychiatrist.

REMINGTON

What if I maintain that Rockefeller lied?

DOCTOR GRANT

You mean you haven’t been conducting experiments using humans as guinea pigs?

STUYVESANT

Of course not.

DOCTOR GRANT

And Rockefeller’s motive for stating otherwise?

REMINGTON

Is for me to know...

STUYVESANT

and for you to find out.

DOCTOR GRANT

Experimenting on humans, in your view then...?

REMINGTON

Is totally unethical.

STUYVESANT

Totally immoral; human beings are sacrosanct.

REMINGTON

Our status conferred by God.

STUYVESANT

Every other organism is “lesser” in the eyes of the Lord Almighty.

REMINGTON

Almighty Aphrodite; don’t forget that...

STUYVESANT

Jesus loves you.

REMINGTON

No, we wouldn’t dream of...

STUYVESANT

toying with Allah’s creation.

REMINGTON

Ask the lad for proof, and listen to what he says if you...

STUYVESANT

offer to drop in...

REMINGTON

... pay an unofficial visit.

STUYVESANT

Odds are he’ll refuse.

REMINGTON

Cleverly; he’s no chump.

STUYVESANT

Certainly not; he’s nobody’s fool.

REMINGTON

But rest assured you’ll never set foot inside that...

STUYVESANT

felonious...

REMINGTON

... nefarious

STUYVESANT

... laboratory.

            Dr. Grant sits back in his ergonomic chair, posture still erect in comparison to his patient’s (or patients'), aware he confronts a twosome, though discerning one from the other is a difficult task, assessing mental competence (or lack thereof) a dodgy proposition, the matter of “threat to society” ill-established, the matter of “danger to himself” none too explicit either. So, whose account should be credited; the father’s or the son’s?
