Dr. Nostrum
Do you remember that lab assistant – Natalia Coochy-Coochy? Yeah?
Hutchback
Yeah, of course I remember her.
Dr. Nostrum
She, er, she nicked my Carlos Catenada book, the first book.
Hutchback
Oh, well, there you go.
Dr. Nostrum
There you go – cos she wanted to get into Castenada I think.
Hutchback (deeply ambivalent)
Mm.
Dr. Nostrum
It's something you.. Castenada is something you leave behind.
Hutchback
Yes, absolutely
Dr. Nostrum
I just had a feeling that our dear friend Dr. Kawnholer was trying to prove somehow that Castenada works.
Hutchback (amazed)
Really?
Dr. Nostrum
I'm not sure where I got that from...
Hutchback
No he wasn't...
Dr. Nostrum
...was that years and years ago?
Hutchback
...why was he trying to prove that?
Dr. Nostrum
Not prove it.. I don't know, I've got this all mixed up, but, erm...
Hutchback
No he's not, he's doing Child Psychology.
Dr. Nostrum
I know, but you see, children are cross-eyed.
Hutchback (laughs mockingly at the very idea)
What, are they? All Children are...
Dr. Nostrum
All babies are cross-eyed.
Hutchback
That's cause they can only focus on things that close to...
Dr. Nostrum
But – are they seeing what Castenada saw?
Hutchback
No they're not! Looking at the world cross-eyed, you don't see parallel universes!
Dr. Nostrum
Mm, no.
Hutchback
It's not like they're just like, there.
Dr. Nostrum
No, but anyway...
Hutchback
Sorry, for podcast listeners, er, I just pointed slightly to the left and to the right of me.
Dr. Nostrum
(correcting Hutchback on the location of parallel universes) Not far in front of your face.
Hutchback
See, I'm being professional now.
Dr. Nostrum
Not far in front of your face.
Hutchback
This is being professional. A good face for radio...
Dr. Nostrum
I actually thought that..
Hutchback
There's a good face for radio, Jesus, that dog, look at that.
Dr. Nostrum
He's got one of those bra's on, one of those muzzle bras, what are they called?
Hutchback (unsure what the hell Nostrum is talking about)
Ye-ah
Dr. Nostrum
...The car bras. Oh no he doesn't, it's just a black face. (pause) Does he have a muzzle on?
Hutchback
He does have a muzzle on.
Dr. Nostrum
Shame for them – imagine if people had to do that.
Hutchback
Yeah. (beat) There's another one, with a sort of..
Dr. Nostrum
He hasn't got a muzzle on – the other one.
Hutchback
Yeah.
Dr. Nostrum
(beat) Anyway, I thought that what Kawnholer was trying to do – dear Kawnholer – was something to do with, erm, babies not seeing the same...
Hutchback (more mocking)
With proving that babies are...
Dr. Nostrum
...didn't see the same reality...
Hutchback
...Yaqui...
Dr. Nostrum
...as us.
Hutchback
...Indian Shaman. At Birth. And then they lose it (pause) by the age of 4. Yeah.
Dr. Nostrum
Something like that!
