Quote context

[...]

- Say, you remember me. The name is Kee, Sylvester Kee.

- Why, hello, Sylvester. I've been waiting for you.

- He's still there. One of the most complete examples of dual identity in the history of medical science.

- You mean that half the time Frere was Frere and the other half he was his dummy?

- Exactly.

- And in the end, the dummy got the upper hand entirely.

- Yes, but how did the dummy get from one room to another? Under its own steam?

- Without knowing what he was doing, Frere took it himself. Impelled by the dominating Hugo half of his mind.

- That is the scientific explanation. But, no doubt, you people would prefer a more colourful one.

- That Hugo had become endowed with an existence of his own.

- Drink? Oh, I'm awfully sorry.

- Blimey, George is dying on us.

- It's started.

- It's all right. Nothing's started. No one's dying. George isn't a man, it's Foley's power plant. They make their own electricity.

- There's nothing to be afraid of. We're your friends.

- We want to help you.
