[bandaging Walter's hand] I'm sorry. Does that hurt?
Not as deeply as my pride. Mysophobia. I haven't had an attack in years.
It's curious, don't you think? The things that we see, that we investigate, and you don't bat an eye. Some harmless germs make you shake in your boots.
I suppose it is. Elizabeth, my wife, used to say I was a man of contradictions. She liked that about me. I liked everything about her. She committed suicide, did you know? After our Peter died. I'm glad she never knew me like this. I'm afraid of things I can't even see.
Walter, I don't think I'm going to get much sleep tonight, either. What do you say to a rootbeer float?
