Hilda Flashcards
First Line
I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own two eyes.
Hypnosis isn’t for everybody, but he was a good subject.
Counting backwards from ten and you didn’t even get to nine.
Asleep at the drop of a hat.
And completely under your spell.
Naturally.
When you told him he was a ballerina, he spun like a top.
Yes.
And when you told him that his mother had died.
He cried. Poor boy
Unbelievable.
No more unbelievable than life, Max.
…
If only I could hypnotize myself. Now that would be useful.
You mean you can’t
Believe me I’ve tried. I’ve followed the pocket watch back and forth…
Sorry
And on the count of three… you wake up and the memory of that woman will be gone forever.
Which one is this?
You know perfectly well.
The redhead?
Redhead?
With the high pitched laugh you says drat all the time like some character in a British spy novel.
Like a character in a British spy novel?
Yes
Not her.
The brunette who sighed all the time like this? (Sigh)
That’s a very good imitation. No, not her.
Who, then?
The one who’s driving me completely and utterly insane.
The girl you’re going out with at the moment is always driving you completely and utterly insane.
That’s not true. Is it? You think you know me so well.
I know you well enough
Hilda.
Hilda?
Don’t say it like that
Alright HILDA?
What’s wrong with Hilda?
You tell me. I thought you broke up with her. You said she was deceiving you.
Well I couldn’t prove it
Exactly and that’s what driving you insane. You couldn’t prove it, so you made yourself made with ungrounded suspicion until you had convinced yourself of something which had no basis in fact, because the fact is -
Here we go. The fact is-
The fact is the woman you have in your life is never the one you want.
Not true.
You know my theory.
What’s your theory.
You don’t really like woman.
Of course you think that. You don’t really like woman.
Not the way you do.
The way I do.
Recklessly. So you haven’t broken up with Hilda.
No.
But she’s deceiving you.
Yes.
I see.
Don’t say it like that.
Like what?
“I see” like you don’t see at all.
I don’t.
Of course you don’t
So you found proof?
