Metamorphosis Page #3

Any time you like.

Lloyd, you get the hell out of here!

Calm down.

It's not like you to lose

your pragmatic cordiality.

You get the hell out of here.

You have no authority to be in here!

Oh, it's only a matter of time.

The usual bureaucratic delays.

At times they are a little slow

and one is tempted to

go around them.

I'm sure you know how it is.

Not this time, you won't.

You do me a favor and

you drag yourself out of here.

If the commission decides

to continue this experiment,

it will be under my constant

and total control.

You won't be able to blow your nose

in here without my permission.

You did that on purpose.

You saw him.

I really couldn't see very well.

I'm sure it was an accident, Dr. Lloyd.

My God, Peter, the man is a cripple!

He's not a man, he's a worm.

Willy, what is this?

I don't know.

This is blood.

Okay, Tommy. Look at me and smile.

Maybe a little less.

Tommy, don't be so crabby.

Here, let me take the camera.

I'll take the picture.

You don't like me too much, do you?

No.

That's okay. I don't like you either.

But you know, some of the best

friendships are born this way.

Watch what they do

when I give them these.

They are afraid.

Dr. Houseman.

If you plan to return like you did

the other night, I won't close.

What do you mean, like the other night?

The other night, you went in

and came out twice.

You plan to do the same thing

tonight too,

I won't block the gate.

You must be mistaken,

I only came through once.

Oh, here it is.

You came in at 8:45 and left at 10:20.

And then you came back again

at 10 past midnight

and you left at 25 past midnight.

I never sleep on my job.

I remember, I asked you for a match

and you gave me a packet. Here it is.

You remember now?

You really don't remember.

I even lent you my handkerchief

so you could tie up your wounded hand.

- Can I have a beer?

- I'm sorry, we're closing.

- I was here last night.

- Really?

Do you remember me?

Maybe you should pull your pants down.

Then she'll remember you.

Shut up!

Drinking beer?

Lots of people come here.

We can't be expected

to remember everybody.

That will be five dollars.

You got the guts to

come back here? B*tch!

You bastard!

You...

Not on the face. Get him over here.

So it's true.

You were here the other night.

I don't know why you were

so stupid to come back.

No! Not me.

That girl lost weeks of work

because of you, you maniac!

No!

Bob, you must decide!

I cannot strip him off his

authority all of a sudden.

We would be risking an investigation

and the institute will be involved.

If he attacked you,

he will indemn excuses.

His excuses don't mean anything to me.

All I want is that his access to this

laboratory be cut off immediately.

He's cooking something up.

He was furious when he saw me in there.

Anyone would be furious to find

someone rummaging through

their notes without authorization.

Well then, let's hurry up and get it!

Because I believe that arrogant bastard

is trying to trick us.

I'm sorry Sally,

I don't know what to think.

I've looked for him everywhere,

but no one's seen him.

Have you been to his house?

Yes.

And I'm sure,

I'm certain that he's there.

But he just won't come to the door.

I'm sorry, I've got to go.

If I don't see you again,

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you, too.

Peter!

Willy, watch where you're going.

Where have you been?

You disappeared a week ago.

Stop somewhere.

My God, Peter, what happened?

I tried the serum on myself.

At first, the results seemed positive.

Then something happened.

Something went wrong.

- You're freezing.

- I know.

My body assumes the temperature

of the air around me.

I don't know why.

I don't know what's happening to me.

The only thing I know is I have

to find a solution soon or it's over.

You... You shouldn't have taken the risk.

There were too many unknowns.

Willy, you must help me.

You're the only one who can do it.

How? They've closed the laboratory!

Lloyd got the authorization

and they're going through it

- with a fine-tooth comb.

- We'll go back in at night.

We'll repeat the experiment and try to

locate the error during the inoculation.

It could make it worse.

Willy, it's a chance

I'm gonna have to take.

I'm dying.

Turn the volume down, Tommy.

Hello.

What? Willy, what did you say?

I... I saw him.

What? Where did you see him?

What?

I told you to turn it down!

Hello? Willy?

Willy, I want to see him.

No! No, absolutely not.

He doesn't want to see anyone.

He doesn't even know

that I've telephoned you.

What happened to him?

He's bad off.

He's really bad off.

Sally, don't say anything to anyone.

If anyone can help him it's himself.

Willy, I want to talk to him, at least.

No, Sally, he...

he doesn't want it that way.

I'll call you again later.

Thanks.

We'll use a stronger dose.

I want you to go through

the blood analysis.

The first of the electrophoretic

velocity of the gamma globulin.

We'll repeat the analysis

every ten minutes.

The only way to locate the error

is to start from the beginning.

Willy, tie my wrists.

Why?

To make sure I can't move.

My God, no!

No! Stop!

Stop!

Stop! What do you want?

What do you want? Leave me alone!

I promise I won't hurt you.

I couldn't hurt you.

I didn't know what I was doing.

Please believe me.

I didn't know.

Calm down. It's over.

Please believe me. It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

Why?

I don't know why.

It's all right. It's gonna be okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. It's all right.

It's all right. It's okay, it's okay.

That's enough for now. I feel better.

Really, I feel better. That's enough.

I feel better! I said, that's enough!

Enough!

Hey, look at that one.

Go around the block. We'll catch him.

Hello.

Yes.

Where?

How is he?

I don't know. Everybody's in there,

including the chancellor.

I can't let him see me. I'd have

to answer too many questions.

What happened?

I don't know.

I'd have to go back to the laboratory and

complete the experiment to be certain.

It's the only way to save him.

Here.

- Take this.

- What is it?

It's the result

of two years of research.

It belongs to Peter.

- Sorry, ma'am, you can't go in.

- I'm from the university.

You can let her pass, it's okay.

- You can't go in. Wait.

- How is he? I want to see him.

There's no use in your seeing him.

He was in a serious state of confusion,

now he's under sedation.

Miss Donnelly, who notified you?

Who told you?

Willy Carson.

Look for him.

I want to see him right away.

Well, there's no point

in staying here now.

Let me know if there's any news.

Yes, sir.

You need to go home too, it's bad.

Let's go, I'll drive you home.

No. I'll stay here.

Mike, what's happened?

Is his life in danger?

Damn it, we don't know.

All we know is he entered

the laboratory with Willy's help

and that he was struck by a police car,

but it didn't hurt him.

But that's all we know.

But his organism, it's like...
