Dr. Zidell:
What's happened to you? You were the brightest student in my class. True, emotionally you were twelve years old.
Kornbluth:

Dr. Zidell:

Kornbluth:
There is a mermaid in New York City.
Dr. Zidell:

Kornbluth:
She has legs out of the water, she has fins in the water. You taught me that, Dr. Zidell, don't you remember? You taught me all the legends.
