The Urgency of the Full Moon
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
Dr Yogami, didn't they tell you that I wasn't seeing anyone today?
Dr. Yogami
I thought, perhaps, you might see me.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
Come another day, please.
Dr. Yogami
Another day would be too late. What will happen before morning, I cannot say. Tonight is the first night of the full moon.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
Still harping on that old wives tale of yours?
Dr. Yogami
Would it were in old wives tale.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
Exactly what do you want of me?
Dr. Yogami
Two blossoms of the Mariphasa flower in there would save two souls tonight.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
Tonight. But I thought you said the Mariphasa was a cure.
Dr. Yogami
No. An antidote. Effective only for a few hours. Won't you let me see the results of your experiment?
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
Sorry. When my experiments are completed I will show the results to the entire world. Not before. Now, sir, I must wish you good day.
Dr. Yogami
Then there is nothing more to be said?
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
Nothing
Dr. Yogami
Good day. But remember this, Dr. Glendon. The werewolf instinctively seeks to kill the thing it loves best.

The Nature of Lycanthropy Explained
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
This flower is an antidote for..for what?
[skeptical]
Dr. Yogami
Werewolfery. Lycanthrophobia is the medical term for the affliction I speak of.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
And do you expect me to believe that a man so affected actually becomes a wolf under the influence of the full moon?
Dr. Yogami
No. The werewolf is neither man nor wolf but a satanic creature, with the worst qualities of both.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
I'm afraid, sir, but I gave up my belief in goblins, witches, personal devils, and werewolves at the age of six.
Dr. Yogami
But that does not alter the fact that in workaday, modern, London today at this very moment there are two cases of werewolfery known to me.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
And how did these unfortunate gentleman contract this medieval unpleasantness?
Dr. Yogami
From the bite of another werewolf. These men are doomed but for this flower the Mariphasa.

The Urgency of the Mariphasa Plant
Dr. Yogami
Your department is trying to solve two murders. There will be other murders tonight, and tomorrow night. Also next month, when the moon is full again - unless you realize, sir, there is a werewolf abroad in London.
Sir Thomas Forsythe
Yes, my nephew has similar ideas. What do you want us to do about it?
Dr. Yogami
You must seize the only specimen of the "Mariphasa" plant in England.
Sir Thomas Forsythe
And where shall I get this posy?
Dr. Yogami
In the private laboratory of Dr. Wilfred Glendon. That flower is the only known antidote for werewolfery.
Sir Thomas Forsythe
Yes, a.. a very interesting folktale, but of no value to the police.
Dr. Yogami
I warn you, sir, unless you secure this plant and discover the secret of nurturing it in this country, there'll be an epidemic that will turn London into a shambles.

The Risks of Marriage and Fame
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
My dear wife has just been scolding me.
Miss Ettie Coombes
Yes, how you manage to keep your dear wife is a mystery to me. Skirmishing off the way you do. Leaving her alone, months on end.
Lisa Glendon
Anyhow, I knew the risk I took when I married one of the black Glendons of Malvern.
Miss Ettie Coombes
Marrying any man is risky. Marrying a famous man is kissing catastrophe.

A Farewell Filled with Regret

Nature's Tolerance vs. Human Beliefs
Botanical party attendee
Heretic! Bringing a beastly thing like that into Christian England.
[having seen a frog being fed to a carnivorous plant]
Dr. Yogami
Nature is very tolerant, sir. She has no creeds.

A Conversation on Plant Evolution and Collection
Dr. Yogami
May I congratulate you sir, on the amazing collection of plants you've assembled here.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
Thank you.
Dr. Yogami
Evolution was in a strange mood, when that creation came along.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
Yes.
Dr. Yogami
It makes one wonder just where the plant world leaves off and the animal world begins.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
Have I met you before, sir?
Dr. Yogami
In Tibet, once. But only for a moment... In the dark.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
In the dark?
Dr. Yogami
Let me introduce myself again. I am Dr. Yogami.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
How do you do, sir?
Dr. Yogami
Like yourself, a student, a nurturist of plants.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
Dr. Yogami.
Dr. Yogami
Pardon?
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
Do I understand you to say, that we met in Tibet?
Dr. Yogami
Yes. And unless I'm mistaken, we were both on a similar mission.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
Yes.
Dr. Yogami
Would it be intrusive if I should ask you... If you were successful?
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
In what?
Dr. Yogami
In obtaining a specimen of the Mariphasa lumina lupina: The phosphorescent wolf flower. Well, you know it only blooms under the rays of the moon. My specimens died on the journey back.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
As a scientist, sir, as a botanist you actually believe that this flower takes its life from moonlight?
Dr. Yogami
I do.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon
So far I've been unsuccessful in persuading mine to bloom by moonlight or any other kind of light.
