Sex and the Entity Page #7

- We never shouldve left the house. lm sorry.

Maybe this doesnt seem like the best time

for this, but ere afraid for you.

We have an idea that might help.

We anna try to isolate this thing

and immobilize it.

We need your consent. That means

going into it ith your eyes ide open.

What e have in mind

has never been tried before.

Well take every possible precaution.

lll do anything... to get rid of him.

Jerry as her only contact ith reality.

l ant those two guys banished from her life.

l dont see hat l can do.

Go to the dean. Maybe he can do something.

Maybe he can pull those creeps back.

Do you realize hat youre asking?

Thats a month-long debate.

lt could get very complicated.

All this for Carla Moran?

Somebodys gotta look after her.

Let her go, Phil. You dont have any choice.

Professionally or personally.

As you can see, this is a freshly cut rose.

And this is a container of liquid helium.

This is the coldest substance knon to man.

Anything frozen at this temperature

ill shatter at the slightest touch.

What e are seeking is

to determine if this entity has mass.

lf in fact this is the case,

then e should be able to freeze it,

verify its objective existence

and prove it isntjust a psychic projection...

- lts gonna ork.

- ..but rather an independent force

from some other level of reality

that has never been isolated.

Here she is.

Mrs Moran.

Let me take your bag.

lts good to see you. Were all very excited

to get the experiment under ay.

- Welcome.

- Mrs Moran?

See you later.

Have you made arrangements

for your children?

- Theyre ith a friend.

- Good.

Let me sho you to your ne house.

lm afraid ere not able to provide you

ith all the conveniences,

but e hope youll find it comfortable.

- And familiar.

- Watch your step.

Everyones done a terrific job

in re-creating your home.

- We did use different colors.

- And there are other differences.

No light sitches.

We have to control the electricity.

This, of course, is the childrens room.

The beds in the rong place.

Well, it doesnt matter.

There are no ceilings anywhere in the house.

Thats for the television monitoring.

Except, of course, in the bathroom.

There is a ceiling, but no plumbing.

Well supply you ith all the ater you need.

Thats a chemical toilet.

- Does this look familiar?

- lts a good simulation.

Remember not to change in here.

The television camera ill be atching you.

And Gene, at the controls.

ln the kitchen we had a bit of a problem.

No gas. But e have a hot plate

and a ell-stocked refrigerator.

lts like camping out.

Mrs Moran? ld like

to sho you something no.

Looks a lot like your house, doesnt it?

The living room. Brought your books.

Just stand over here ith me.

Mrs Moran, this is the protected area

that e ere talking about.

lts two pieces of double-thick heat-treated

glass ith a vacuum in between the panes.

The system is fail-safe. We cant activate the

helium until youre safely in this enclosure.

When e tell you to go to the protected area,

e ant you to come directly

to this spot as quickly as possible.

Well take care of the rest.

OK? No e have to get ready.

You make yourself

as comfortable as you can.

But youre not alone.

lf you need anything, dont hesitate to ask.

lm not afraid.

lf you can get him, lm not afraid.

Hey. Where do you think youre going?

- ls this the Cooley experiment?

- Yeah.

lm ith the Medical lnstitute.

Dr Sneiderman.

Go right on in, Doctor.

Carla, l'd like to talk to you alone.

ls there any place that e could go talk?

That e could talk privately?

The bathroom.

This is quite a setup they have here.

They made a natural environment for him,

so hell come here.

Really? ls that hat theyre telling you?

- Thats hat theyre doing.

- And you believe them?

Oh, yes.

Theyre dangerous frauds, Carla.

Youre their guinea pig.

Carla, do you kno that there are

tanks of liquid helium outside?

Do you kno hat liquid helium can do?

- Of course.

- Of course. Really?

Kno hat it means

to stop molecular motion,

paralyze atomic particles,

decompose matter?

- OK.

- OK?

What do you mean, OK?

l mean ld rather be dead

than living the ay lve been living.

- Do you understand that?

- Yes, l can understand that.

Yes. l also understand that

l care very much hat happens to you.

Very much. And l kno that, in your heart,

you kno the difference

between reality and fantasy.

Carla, look at me. Carla.

Our reason, intelligence. Thats the only thing

that distinguishes us from other species.

l care about you.

Carla, dont close yourself off no.

lts real important that you maintain contact

ith at least one person that cares about you.

- l dont kno hat youre saying.

- lll tell you hat l am saying.

That you and l can make that contact.

l dont ant to make that contact.

OK.

Hey. Wait up a minute, ill you?

Really. l anna talk to you.

l gotta hand it to you. You just dont give up.

Look. Get out. And stay out.

OK. No you listen to me, Buck Rogers, OK?

- lf you or your trusty sidekick harm her...

- Officer.

..lll have your ass in court.

Youll be looking for your ghosts from prison.

You see this face? l dont anna see it again.

- You got it.

- Hey, Mehan.

You may have them all fooled, but not me.

lm gonna nail you and that little creep.

- lll tell him.

- Come on. Lets go.

Yes, sir.

Mrs Moran, we are now going

to move into the nighttime mode.

l anna get it so bad l can taste it.

Hang on, Gene. Hang on.

And pray.

Dr Sneiderman is here, Frank. He tells me

Cooley is using pretty lethal equipment.

Liquid helium. God only knos hat all else.

Frank. Frank, lets not blo our tops.

lm just trying to sound you out on this.

Yes, l realize its your decision.

l cant figure him anymore.

Do e really need his approval?

You need to learn a lot

about campus politics.

F*** campus politics.

- Where are you going?

- lm gonna get her aay from those lunatics.

- Why not let her trip the glass enclosure?

- Too dangerous.

Hey!

- Hey! What are you doing?

- Carla.

- Hey!

- Carla?

Carla! Carla, come on.

Were getting outta here no.

No, lm not. Dont do that. Let go of him.

- Get him out of here.

- Take it easy. Take it easy.

Nobody has to be hurt.

Let him go, Officer.

What is it you ant, Doctor?

- l ant her out of here, Doctor.

- That is not going to happen.

lm sorry this had to happen, Mrs Moran.

Everythings gonna be all right.
