00:00:15OFF CAMERA Mr. Feldman? I understand you called us last week for an appointment. 

00:00:20MR. FELDMAN My parents. 

00:00:25OFF CAMERA Excuse me? 

00:00:25MR. FELDMAN My parents called for the appointment. 

00:00:25OFF CAMERA Oh. Do you know why your parents called for an appointment? 

00:00:30MR. FELDMAN No. 

00:00:35OFF CAMERA When your parents called me they said you were having some difficulty in school. Where are you in school? 

00:00:50MR. FELDMAN State College. 

00:00:50OFF CAMERA How long have you been at State College? 

00:00:55MR. FELDMAN My freshman year. 

00:01:00OFF CAMERA And how is it going? 

00:01:05MR. FELDMAN Fine. 

00:01:10OFF CAMERA What courses are you taking at State? 

00:01:15MR. FELDMAN In high school I took advanced placement courses. Theoretical physics, advanced calculus is what I'm taking now. Although I'm thinking about double majoring in philosophy and physics. 

00:01:35OFF CAMERA That's an interesting combination. 

00:01:35MR. FELDMAN Yes, the mysteries of life. The courses are mysteries, and just when you think you've understood it, it's gone. 

00:01:45OFF CAMERA Gone? 

00:01:50MR. FELDMAN The totality of life precludes us from repeating it. I mean what's the point? 

00:02:00OFF CAMERA Do you have a roommate at state? 

00:02:05MR. FELDMAN You could call him that. 

00:02:10OFF CAMERA Can you tell me about him? 

00:02:15MR. FELDMAN Oh no. 

00:02:15OFF CAMERA Why not? 

00:02:20[sil.] 

00:02:25MR. FELDMAN He put a microwave in there, but I know what that means. But I won't tell. Not a word.. 

00:02:35OFF CAMERA A microwave oven? 

00:02:40MR. FELDMAN They had them in here too, in this building. But they'll spare me, and they'll spare you too, because you are with me, and what that's about a bleeding degeneration of blood cells, bleeding the humanity from our rightful destiny... but this room spies on us. 

00:03:05OFF CAMERA I don't understand what you mean. 

00:03:10MR. FELDMAN It's in the eyes. You can hold of forever if you know how. 

00:03:20OFF CAMERA Mr. Feldman, did you come here with anyone else today? 

00:03:25[sil.] 

00:03:30MR. FELDMAN Sssshhhh. 

00:03:35OFF CAMERA Mr. Feldman, I think I may need to contact your parents.
