RECORDING SECRETARY:The Board of Governors of St. Jude's Hospital is now in session |
[00:16.28] |
Sir Danvers Carew, KBE, Chairman |
[00:20.53] |
His Grace, The Bishop of Basingstoke |
[00:26.91] |
General Lord Glossop |
[00:30.47] |
The Right Honorable Sir Archibald Proops, Q.C |
[00:37.09] |
Lady Beaconsfield |
[00:40.78] |
Lord Savage |
[00:44.67] |
The Order of business will be conducted by the Secretary to the Board of Governors, Mr. Simon Stride |
[00:54.69] |
STRIDE :Proposition No. 929: Presented by Dr. Henry Jekyll |
[01:03.41] |
GENERAL GLOSSOP:Jekyll, you're all talk an' no result!... |
[01:05.06] |
BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE:Forever asking us to endorse empty promises! |
[01:06.57] |
SIR ARCHIBALD PROOPS:What's all the mystery? Much ado about nothing, if you ask me... |
[01:09.11] |
LADY BEACONSFIELD:You're the laughingstock of your profession and polite society! The mad scientist! |
[01:12.02] |
STRIDE:Order! Order! |
[01:23.21] |
JEKYLL:Distinguished Governors |
[01:25.21] |
I have glimpsed the future |
[01:27.87] |
Seen miracles that stun the mind |
[01:29.94] |
And marvels only science can find |
[01:32.39] |
To shape tomorrow for mankind |
[01:34.93] |
And I can show them to you |
[01:38.12] |
If you wish me to... |
[01:45.09] |
|
[01:51.47] |
Friends, you're aware there are two sides to each of us |
[01:54.51] |
Good and evil, compassion and hate |
[01:57.14] |
If we could extract all the evil from each of us |
[02:00.60] |
Think of the world that we could create |
[02:04.14] |
A world without anger or violence or strife |
[02:07.27] |
Where man wouldn't kill anymore |
[02:10.37] |
A world of compassion, where passion for life |
[02:13.97] |
Would banish the madness of war |
[02:19.41] |
I'm close to finding the key to duality |
[02:22.82] |
Chemical Formulae which could - and would |
[02:26.59] |
Alter the patterns of man's personality |
[02:29.44] |
Guiding him either to evil or good! |
[02:32.59] |
Weigh the potential, the great possibilities |
[02:35.92] |
Colleagues - dear friends, understand |
[02:39.57] |
We have a chance to make history here in our hand |
[02:46.33] |
|
[02:48.94] |
Each of us is the embodiment of two distinct and opposing forces |
[02:53.57] |
Good and Evil -each fighting for supremacy inside us. |
[02:56.73] |
If we could separate these two forces, we could control and ultimately eliminate all evil from mankind. |
[03:02.96] |
My experiments with animals have led me to believe that the day is not far off when this separation will be possible. |
[03:09.73] |
To achieve it, I must be allowed to try my formula on a living human being! |
[03:14.01] |
BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE:And what if you're right, Jekyll? And you do manage to separate Good from Evil... |
[03:19.94] |
what happens to the evil? |
[03:22.29] |
JEKYLL:There are doomed, broken souls in a thousand asylums |
[03:26.40] |
I defy you to say you don't care if you can |
[03:29.00] |
In the name of compassion and medical science |
[03:32.18] |
I can save many lives, if you give me one man |
[03:39.27] |
BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE:I tell you now, the Church will never sanction it! |
[03:44.08] |
VARIOUS:Sacrilege! Lunacy! Blasphemy! Heresy! |
[03:47.31] |
SIR ARCHIBALD PROOPS:You seem to be treading on dangerous ground |
[03:49.78] |
In legal terms, I'd say - extremely unsound! |
[03:52.88] |
BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE:The whole thing's un-christian, barbaric and odd! |
[03:56.27] |
You're playing with fire when you start to play God! |
[04:00.07] |
STRIDE:The Bishop speaks for all of us |
[04:01.28] |
When he says you're playing God! |
[04:02.98] |
There's such a thing as ethics |
[04:04.80] |
Over which you ride rough-shod! |
[04:06.83] |
You're a Doctor, not a saviour |
[04:08.55] |
Doctor Jekyll, for a start! |
[04:10.28] |
But I judge from your behaviour |
[04:12.38] |
You can't tell the two apart! |
[04:18.08] |
JEKYLL:Dear Mr. Stride, I am simply a scientist |
[04:21.21] |
I have a code to which I remain true |
[04:24.00] |
I don't presume to the stature of moralist |
[04:27.17] |
I leave pretension like that, Sir, to you! |
[04:30.47] |
SIR DANVERS:Henry, I've always encouraged your enterprise |
[04:33.44] |
And I've been hopeful that you would succeed! |
[04:36.62] |
But in the face of these powerful arguments |
[04:40.18] |
I see no choice but for you to concede! |
[04:48.95] |
JEKYLL:I know my fate is yours to choose |
[04:51.23] |
But if they win, the world would lose |
[04:53.16] |
I am on the brink of great success! |
[04:55.94] |
I beg you, Governors, you must say "Yes!" |
[05:02.07] |
LADY BEACONSFIELD:Doctor Jekyll, enough of this ranting, Sir! |
[05:04.81] |
This is a hospital, here to save lives! |
[05:08.09] |
GOVERNORS:Do you think we would let you play havoc |
[05:11.05] |
With all the high principles for which it strives? |
[05:14.31] |
Do you expect us to compromise all that we stand for |
[05:18.70] |
Indulging your dangerous games? |
[05:21.09] |
How many rules should we break for your dubious games? |
[05:25.45] |
JEKYLL:Can't you see? I am not playing games! |
[05:28.23] |
Just give me the opportunity! |
[05:30.26] |
GENERAL GLOSSOP:This whole thing's too bizarre! |
[05:32.13] |
SIR DANVERS:Open up your eyes and see! |
[05:33.78] |
BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE:This man has gone too far! |
[05:36.15] |
JEKYLL:Unless you listen to me... |
[05:37.70] |
STRIDE:Doctor, please watch your tone! |
[05:39.15] |
Dammit, man, can't you see? |
[05:41.05] |
You're on your own! |
[05:43.91] |
JEKYLL:Fools! |
[05:44.11] |
GOVERNERS:(unintelligible yelling) |
[05:44.70] |
You fools! |
[05:45.52] |
God damn your rules |
[05:46.97] |
Look at yourselves |
[05:48.04] |
Civilized men! |
[05:48.91] |
Why can't you see? |
[05:54.09] |
STRIDE:Order! Order! |
[05:55.22] |
JEKYLL:If I ever needed further justification for my experiments, gentlemen, you have just provided it! |
[06:01.36] |
JEKYLL:Just look at what has happened here! |
[06:03.27] |
Mix anger with a touch of fear |
[06:04.89] |
The danger's all too crystal-clear |
[06:06.67] |
Just look at you! |
[06:07.89] |
Our darker side keeps breaking through |
[06:10.20] |
Observe it now - in me and you! |
[06:11.84] |
The evil that all men can do |
[06:13.61] |
Must be controlled! |
[06:15.00] |
I beg of you |
[06:16.59] |
I'll show you all it can be done! |
[06:23.47] |
Here is a chance to take charge of our fate |
[06:26.16] |
Deep down you must know that tomorrow's too late |
[06:30.73] |
One rule of life we cannot rearrange |
[06:35.03] |
The only thing constant is change |
[06:42.08] |
The only thing constant... is change |
[06:51.03] |
STRIDE:Distinguished colleagues, your verdict, please |
[06:56.20] |
All those is favour, say "Aye" |
[07:02.04] |
All those opposed, "Nay" |
[07:08.30] |
GOVERNORS:Nay! Nay! Nay! Nay! |
[07:12.07] |
Positively, absolutely nay! |
[07:22.51] |
STRIDE:Sir Danvers? |
[07:27.01] |
SIR DANVERS:Abstain |
[07:29.77] |
STRIDE:By five votes to none - with one abstention - Proposition 929 is rejected. |
[07:35.39] |
Thank you for your time, Dr. Jekyll |
[07:39.00] |
SIR DANVERS:I am truly sorry, Henry |
[07:45.12] |
JEKYLL:All these precious years I've dedicated to this dream |
[07:49.06] |
Now with a word they claim the power to deny me |
[07:52.75] |
Who are they to judge what I am doing? |
[07:55.39] |
They know nothing of the endless possibilities I see |
[07:59.98] |
It's ludicrous I'm bound by their decision |
[08:02.97] |
Seems vision is a word they've never heard! |
[08:07.23] |
If it mattered less, I'd treat it with derision |
[08:10.43] |
It's absurd! |
[08:15.35] |
And yet the fact remains |
[08:19.04] |
Those bastards hold the reins! |
[08:27.49] |
STRIDE:I'm so sorry, Doctor Jekyll |
[08:31.57] |
What a really rotten shame! |
[08:34.21] |
I so hope that what has happened |
[08:37.24] |
Won't destroy your precious name! |
[08:43.51] |
Henry Jekyll, I despise you! |
[08:50.24] |
You have stolen the girl who should be my wife! |
[08:55.40] |
But there'll come a day, not so far away |
[09:01.42] |
When you'll not only pay |
[09:04.24] |
You will pay all your life! |
[09:16.50] |
