A SAINT
A WOMAN
A DEVIL

Oh, bullshit!

Is that the only way you know how to express yourself?

Yeah, babe. It does sound very unfeminine.

Unfeminine, my ass!

To you, all girls should look like Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.

No, sugar.

Just as long as she's not a turn-off bitch like you.

My goodness.

Are we going to start fighting amongst ourselves again?

Hey, you, fuck off, Mary!

Go back to playing with yourself

Or you're waiting for a goody-goody dream, man.

Now, come on, now, Mona.

Why don't you lay off Mary?

You know she's trying so hard...

... to be the sweetest, the purest, the most normal of us all.

Yes, isn't she?

And isn't it too bad you'll never know
how it feels that normal way.

Normal?

Your way is normal?

Huh.

And how can you stand the smell of men?

Those hairy bodies.

Ugh!

I think you're both disgusting.

- Right play.
- You eat, baby.

Ah, drop dead.

Yes, I sometimes wish for death.

If only for the knowledge that...

... both of you will probably die along with me.

Hello, madam.
If you can spare me one minute of your time,

I guarantee I can save you hours in tedious housework.

I have with me one of the greatest inventions ever made.

Please, and the moment is the only thing I shall solicit from you.

And again, the moment can multiply in hours,
save for you in tedious housework.

But it must be seen to be believed.

It will fascinate you. It will enthrall you.

You will never be troubled again.

Just look, ma'am, have you ever seen anything like this?

And it also has an extra added feature.

It turns into a humidifier.

It filters the air you breathe.

Well, I... I...

I am having trouble my vacuum cleaner.

You will never be troubled again.

Oh, there it is.

I assure you, madam, this machine is trouble-free
and it comes with a year guarantee.

Now, I continue the demonstration.

Full swivel operation with no tipping or hose kinking.

Integrated accessory carriers let attachments travel with you.

Its giant all-steel tank holds heaps of dry trash.

Okay, madam, for the ultimate demonstration now,
don't think I'm crazy.

It is scary?

This machine has incredible sucking power.

- But...
- This thing can suck up anything.

Just watch this, madam.

It comes with enough accessories to handle any cleanup project.

With a long-life cleanable filter,
it cleans easily, allows continuous wet-dry operation,

no switching or adjustment.

No job is too tough, too messy, too delicate, or too soggy
for this versatile jet-action vacuum cleaner.

Clogged drains, fine carpets and upholstery,

even the family fence.

It eats dirt quickly.

... and it's explained clearly ...

... it t... for the p...

... and ... anything that...

... great benefit...

Madam, I'd like to direct your attention again from the tremendous sucking power.

Tell me about you, baby.

You appreciate the female form, huh?

Yeah.

Sure.

In stone?

Or in warm flesh?

Uh, sure.

Well, come here, you stupid jerk.

That's better.

Well, touch me.

Now kiss it.

Oh, baby, I knew you could turn me on.

Well, here's the old homestead.

I haven't seen Sylvia since her parents died.

Nice and peaceful, like you said.

Well, I hope there are some young neighbors who are interested in a different kind of peace.

Sheila you crazy.

Sylvia hasn't been too well.

Strange, strange letters.

Oh, well, she may be napping.

No.

Not yet.

Don't, don't.

Don't, don't...

Oh, yeah, that's better. Oh, yeah.

Now, now just relax, baby, and I'll do you.

Yeah, just leave it to me.

Your sainted cousin?

You had me believe in it, that's a swinging saint baby.

Sheila, she's not like that, i mean i just can't believe it she's really not like that.

Oh come on! What's the big deal.
If you weren't such a prude, you'd be hip to what's going on.

Why all the kids on campus swing except you? What's wrong with it?

Even girls making it with each other or boys,
it's today's thing, if you feel strong affection-

Would you shut up!

Oh, you are beautiful.

I love my sweet red lips on your cock.

Tell me, you love it, huh?

Well, I love it too.

And you're going to do me after I do you.

Yeah, I'll do you.

Oh, baby.

Oh, I love it.

I love it.

Oh, right there.

Right there.

Oh, I love your tongue.

Oh, it feels so good.

I want your cock now.

Oh, give it to me.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, stick it in me.

Tell me, you love it, huh?

Oh, sack it, sue me.

Daddy.

That's the way I like you, baby.

Oh, you feel good.

Oh, baby.

I can't say I blame her.

Who is she?

She's Sylvia.

Oh, Toby.

Toby.

Toby.

Toby.

I'm so happy to see you.

I missed you so much.

Oh, this is Sheila, my campus buddy.
I just brought her along to visit for a couple of weeks.

Hello, Sheila. Welcome.

It'll be nice having you.

How are you feeling?

Oh, not well.

Not well at all.

But, but let's not talk about me right now.

You want to freshen up.

Why don't you show Sheila to her room,
and I'll rustle up some lunch.

Doesn't the medication help?

Ahh, it... it temporarily alleviates the headache,

but...

But Dr. Rafael said th-that medication can't really help me.

He says my illness is of...

psychological origin.

Nothing like a warm shower.

Oh, I think I'll take a nap, okay?

I suggest we all take a nap.

I mean, two of you with that long drive.

Good, good.

I have some cocoa warming.

It'll help to relax us.

Thanks, Sylvia, you're kind.

That's exactly what I am.

Kind.

Something the matter?

I don't know.

Look, maybe she just likes to swing a little.

You should try it.

You'll like it.

No, it's more than that.

Here, this will soothe us.

Make it easier to siesta.

Thank you, Sylvia.

All right, Pam.
(Toby, Pam is her real name, lol)

Off to the sack.

Nice long nap.

Syl?

I know, dear.

We have so much to talk about, and we will, after our nap.

Come now.

Drink your cocoa.

Drink it all up.

It will help to relax you.

Come on.

Drink it up now. It will help you sleep.

Pleasant dreams.

Who are you?

Hi, Venus.

I'm Tony.

Tony?

Ah, it's you.

You scared the hell out of me.

Oh, grass.

Can I have some?

Sure, baby.

And you, i know you have the fire, show me.

Sylvia, you are a chick after my own heart.

Hey, I ain't that dowdy fanatic, Sylvia.

I'm Tony.

Okay, I was just going to mention that you and that stud balling it up, really turned me on.

That was Mona. She's crazy, that pig.

I know I'm getting hard, but that must be extra strong stuff.

Take it, babe.

Okay, okay, Mona's a pig and she's man crazy.

But correct me if I'm wrong.

You, Tony, swing both ways, don't you?

Baby, only one.

And I think you're adorable.

I think you're out-of-sight.

What about Toby?

Ah, don't worry about Toby, baby.

She's in a deep sleep.

A bomb could go off.

I mean, she's very sound asleep.

I listen to my heart and I tell myself it's right to be in your bed
Song by Gene Press and Shelley Pinz 18Mar76

With my sleepy head upon your pillow

Sharing one whole night in life, I don't care if it's wrong or right in your bed, to be in your bed

The autumn nights when I was home

I cashed it in for the boat to race

Then fell asleep

I did not want to keep my lovin'

Oh you smell too beautiful.

I can't sue me own.

Oh too fetch.

Looovin'. ?

I prayed each night above you come i like it's so be honored in your bed

It's like angels led all paths together

Meet and face your best tonight and find out what love is like in your bed. To be in your bed

The silence is alive and young

It feels so we have been one forever

Since time began, fate's brought us hand to hand. And you touch me, touch me

I listen to my heart and I tell myself it's right to be in your bed

With my sleepy head upon your pillow

Sharing one whole night in love, I don't care if it's wrong or right in your bed, to be in your bed

Dive me.

Sack it, sue me, oh too fetch.

Maybe I love you too much
Song by Gene Press and Shelley Pinz 18Mar76

Don't, don't, don't, don't

Maybe if you said you loved me more I could

Maybe I love you ...

Yo, Toby, you're really becoming a smashing bird,
as they say in merry old England.

Why are you so tight?

I haven't seen you in a long time.

Yeah?

I didn't expect your parents not to be here.

Oh, yeah.

Battingins and mobs.

You know, when I get home from college, I drive them up the wall with my constant oratory,

attacking dominant social values, et cetera.

And how about you, my swell little chick?

Are you going to follow in your mommy's footsteps and remain pure?

I do indeed.

Don't they hatch out of chicken eggs?

You know, Toby, you can't let society mold and shape you to its present image.

There's a spirit of freedom taking hold in the land.

And, believe it or not, starting to take hold in your parents' day ... with panty raids.

Panty raids?

And as a panty raid phenomenon gained velocity,

it triggered a sexual permissiveness never before seen in preceding generations.

I think I'd like a drink.

You know...

I think I'd like to hear more about the panty raid phenomenon.

But, uh, not here.

I think I'm going to go show Sylvia the rest of this lovely house.

You could have fooled me.

Okay, Sylvia.

Not a sneak into a co-ed's room.

Steal all her panties.

But...

If the co-ed happened to be there...

Oh, hi.

Well...

Then it would take the panties she was wearing.

Most girls went along with this because...

It was just being part of the excitement of those days.

Nice.

And that, my dear,

was what was called a panty raid.

Maybe I love you too much

that's why I can't do the things I should

Maybe if you said you loved me more I could

Maybe I love you too much

and I never ever loved before

Love's not in who's loving the other one more

We tried the only way you know, to show you that i care

i've reached for you in dreams i've had now that you are here

Well i only want hold you and always make you smile

Help you laugh away, each and every day, like i apply it every time

Maybe I love you too much ?

And I hope to God I always do.

I've seen the world and the best thing is loving you

And show me of you if only, 'cause I didn't want it for down

I tried to touch the earth, but now I'm going to pass around

I have lived my life in stages

Now my journey is homeward bound

Well, I've seen it all. Darling go...

Don't! ... Don't!

- Don't! Don't! Please, please don't don't don't don't...
- Hey! Come on, wake up, Tob' wake up.

What do you feel?

I got the worst hangover.

I don't know why that's the longest nap in history about 18 hours.

18 hours why didn't you wake me up?

I did everything but drown you you wouldn't budge

Well Tony and I...

Tony?

I-i mean Sylvia, i've had Tony on my mind.

I've been meaning to call To-Tony, you know Tony?

Come on! Get up!

You've been asleep long enough.

Come on, i have some coffee and pancakes waiting for you.

You feel all right?

I'm sorry, Tob'.
It's just, the whole thing is just wild.

Good morning, Toby, Sheila.

It's such a beautiful day out
I thought we'd have breakfast on the patio.

You're looking so refreshed after such a long sleep.

It's nice to see.

Come on.

What the hell is so funny?

I'm sorry, Tob'.
It's just, well, we got it on last night.

You two, enjoy.

I've already eaten.

Well, I think I'll do the cleaning.

Oh, Sylvia, i'll help you.

No, no, no. I insist.

You're on holiday.

Relax.

Enjoy.

Sheila, I'm sorry, but you have to leave.

What?

Are you kicking me out?

You make it sound like I deceived you or something.

Deceive me?

I took all of your bullshit in school with a grain of salt, Sheila.

But I can't handle this.

I cannot handle this with Sylvia because she is not like you think she is.

Oh, shit.

She's not like what you think.

I just want you to know that she came out to my room last night when I was asleep.

Yes, my dear.

I am strongly inclined to believe she is possessed.

Oh, my God.

Um, would you...

Would you recommend exorcism?

Well, in her case, I believe I would.

But you must realize that exorcism is a long and involved process.

Yes.

But please...

Not before we fully cover all alternatives.

Alternatives?

Yes. There are many ways she can be helped.

Depth psychoanalysis, electric shock, drug-induced shock, ...

and various other ways.

If all else fails, then we will be assured it is demon possession.

Mr. Wavery, please bring me in a copy of Ms. Sylvia D's case.

The incident documented in the file I shall give you,
should be of some help to the doctor of your choice.

Mr. Wavery, this is Ms. Sylvia D's cousin, Toby.

Oh, how, how, how do you do? I'm very pleased to meet you.

I'm sure that when you review this with your doctor,
you will better understand Mr. Wavery's actions.

Advisor: Monsignor Charles Suena Firito Carmello
Re: Sylvia D'Constant
Appt: January 15, 1975

Miss Sylvia D'Constant arrived for her appointment in a
very distressed and agitated state. The stated that she
felt some unknown force seemed to be taking control of
her sind whenever she attempted deep meditation and prayer.

One particular night, she was seated watching television
and, while watching her favorite program she thinks her
sind suddenly went blank--and remembers as if a dream--
leaving a neighborhood bar with a strange man and going
to his apartment.

"I vaguely remember the man slapping me and yelling and
cursing me. I ran from the apartment and made my way home,
not remembering how or by which means I managed this."

"I am often especially disturbed during my prayers--where
...that I cannot rationally put into some sort
...it is some evil force attempting
...contact with the Lord."

And does this happen often?

No.

Only when I'm... about... to make a... a special kind of contact.

I see. Oh, pardon me.

Yes?

Oh! I'm sorry.

Yes, I shall be there as quickly as I can.

Mr. Wavery, please come in quickly.

You must forgive me, Ms. D'Constant.

I must leave in emergency.
An old friend lies dying.

- Come, please sit, it's important.
- Yes, Monsignor.

Just ask Ms. D'Constant to stand the questions and write down her answers.
I'll review them on my return.

- Yes, Monsignor.
- Young lady, forgive me.

Well...

Ms-Ms. D'Constant?

I've-I've heard about your problem and huh...

And i know you're a very devout girl.

So if you'd like to, well, feel free to relieve your burden.

You can talk to me and I'll do whatever I can to help you.

Ms. D'Constant is huh, is something bothering you?

Well, I didn't expect to... talk about this sort of thing...

To a civilian...

Oh, no, no.

No, no, I'm a seminarian.

I'm studying to be a priest.

O-oh, i've been a lay brother for years.

You can talk to me. Believe me.

Ms. D'Constant, is anything wrong?

A-Ar-Are you-Are you all right?

You said you... are a lay brother?

Yes, yes.

A lay brother?

Yes.

All right, Mr. Wavery.

I shall trust you.

Well, very good. You won't be disappointed.

But first, I must make sure no one will overhear us.

All right.

MAKE ME THE APPLE
OF YOUR EYE.

You are a lay brother.

Yes.

You are... studying to be a priest?

Yes.

To be Christ, i like that.

What else, what I'm trying to do right?

Take the oath of celibacy.

Yes!

Have you ever had sexual union with a woman?

No!

A virgin.

A virgin!!

A virgin!

It's written in revelations 13 that every thousand years...

the devil is freed from his chains and wanders the earth as man as woman.

I will not listen!

Ah! But you have listened to have seen the signs of a social unrest.

Planet Kohoutek.

Is that the second coming of Christ? Blazing across the sky!

- Or is it the Antichrist?
- It is the Christ!

- The devil!
- It is the Christ!

Tell, my dear, it's a priest's first calling to screw the devil. Well, isn't it?

Yes, but not in those filthy words.

Yes, lay brother, in those words.

Screw the devil. I devil, lay brother, and you're going to screw me.

Do you know why I did that?
Do you?

You do know go have it with the devil go have it with the devil
go have it with the devil!

I will crush your bloody skull screaming break me.

Make ready to fuck me lay brother!

Yes and you'll hear the angels sing.

Please, let me figure a virginity madres, please please...

Please, i won't say anything, we can pray,
it won't be in you anymore, please, please...

Are you fool?!!!
You will do as the devil commands!

God please, help me.

Oh! But he is helping you, helping you get a taste of heavenly pleasure!

Make ready to fuck me, lay brother!

Oh my god, no we're going...

Think! Think! If I accuse you of rape,
who will believe you, a man's word against Sylvia D'Constant.

The sweet close to come, worship her in this parish.

Take off your clothes now!
Take them off or I'll scream!

No.

Scream rape.

No!

I'll scream, take them off!

All you're going to do is what you're name, for a lay brother!

God

Take them off.

God

Now!!

- Take them off!!!
- Oh my God, no.

God, why it was according to the wisdom of an angel of God
you must know all things that are on the earth.

I never did this bef-

Take them off!

I never, I never did this before.

Don't worry, I'll show you in the most devilish way.

I'm good at...good at...I'm no good.

Take them off now.

Take them off!

Take them off, lay brother, take them off!

I-I'm no good at it, please, I'm no good at it, I can't-

Now we're gonna play my way.

You dig it? Take off your clothes or I'll scream rape.

You do not cohabit with the devil,
cohabit with the devil, cohabit with the devil!

Sit lay brother, now take your socks off.

Well take them off! What are you waiting for?

Power was given to her.

Over all kindreds and nations and tongues and tongues!

To... could she plead?

Please, no i can't.

Yes, you'll love it-you'll love it-you'll love it, don't worry.

- Oh my god no.
- Don't worry about a thing.

Oh my god no.

oh my god

You like that, huh baby.

Oh my god!

Oh God!

This is so wrong.

Oh, God if...

Oh, my God.

Oh God!!

Satanic possession.

My dear Toby, how could a mere general practitioner
even attempt an answer such a question?

Isn't there a medical explanation
or maybe a chemical disturbance?

Her severe headaches and general unwell condition,
but there is no organic reason for her illness.

I've even tried the psychosomatic approach.

It's radical personality changes.

Severe migraine can cause changes in character,
but Sylvia's case is far beyond that.

Dr. Balaban, one of the most competent specialists in the psychiatric realm, ...

had first agreed with me that she was a possible schizophrenic.

Split personality, you know.

And under strict supervision, we tried massive doses of nicotinic acid, ...

a great aid in some cases.

Dis-Dissociation of personality?

Yes.

An occurrence more common than we'd like to believe.

Perhaps the more correct term is disintegrated personality.

Disintegrated personality.

My God, that sounds worse.
She was always so clean-minded.

Well, Sylvia still is.

And her deep religious beliefs may have played a part in her personality finally fragmenting.

And the fragments taken on personalities of their own.

Though in the main, I believe, the true culprit in her case is sex.

What the hell is so funny?

Well, i'm sorry, but this is... well, last night we got having sex.

I'd like to hear more about the panty raid.

In addition to the real original normal self that was born
and intended by nature to be,

She may at any time become...

any one of three, four, five more personalities.

Oh, my God.

And so far, all the entities I have encountered
all seem very deeply involved in sex.

But you said she's still clean, that she's still religious.

Well, Sylvia is...

and though the alternating personalities know about Sylvia.

Sylvia does not have any knowledge of them.

Each alternating consciousness has its own experiences
and its own memories.

And so it follows that when they come into existence,
they become blanks in Sylvia's memory.

And so, she is never affected by the actions of the others.

Oh, my God.

Because nothing of these other lives is known
to the main personal stream of consciousness.

Other lives? Actions of others?

You make they sound like... they, them.

Th-Th-They're real faces, real people.

I'm afraid they are.

Different characteristics.

Different temperaments.

Different tastes.

And they do have names.

Self-chosen names.

Let me tell you about Mary.

She is very much like Sylvia, ...

with cleanliness of mind and body foremost.

But unlike Sylvia, ...

Mary does not deny the surging sexual force within her.

She would like to marry, have children, ...

and has, in fact, found a man who cherishes her.

To us.

Mary.

Mary, you... you promised me you would think about it from my point of view.

You said you wanted to prepare yourself for it.

You led me to believe.

I know, Ben.

It's just...

It's just that...

Well, it's sinful before marriage.

Then why aren't we married?

Why do you keep putting it off?

Y'know how much I love you.

Need you.

Yes, Mary.

My need for you is getting out of control.

All right, Ben.

You mean you'll... You'll marry me?

Oh, you've made me so happy, Mary.

I'll make you happy, I promise.

Oh, Ben, I also want to make you happy.

I'm sure you will, my darling.

My hunger for you has been driving me crazy.

You do feel as I do, don't you?

M-Mary, you've made up your mind to marry me, haven't you?

The... The date.

The arrangements set take so much time.

Is there any real reason why we should wait?

Waiter, the bill.

Oh Darling!

You're trembling.

Sit down on the edge of the bed.

Oh, Ben.

Just relax, darling.

This is why I love you so much.

Because I respect you so much.

And today's permissiveness, ...

it's so refreshing to love someone like you.

I promise I'll never let you go.

Cause once we fuse our bodies, ...

it'll be like fusing our souls forever.

So just relax, darling.

I think it'll be all right.

Just a moment, dears.

Just relax.

No, not you.

You're not gonna take him away from me.

Not you.

Not you and Ben never.

I'll never let you.

Not you and Ben.

Silly fool. Who do you know what to do with him?

No.

No, you won't.

No, you won't.

Not you and Ben.

Not you and Ben.

We'll just see about that.

Not you and Ben.

No, you're never... you're never going to take him away from me.

He's mine, not you.

Silly fool.

You wouldn't know what to do with him.

We... We will just see about that.

You're never getting my man.

You'll never get my man.

Ben is mine.

Ben is mine.

Ben...

Just relax, darling. Let your nervousness disappear.

But, Ben... Ben, wait.

I-I-I-I I know... I-I I know...

I-I told you before, but I'm afraid now.

Maybe we should wait, Ben. We are committing a sin.

Before marriage.

Well, darling, not when two people love each other.

Oh, Ben...

I love you.

Oh, oh, oh, no. Oh...

All right, fuck it. We're gonna fuck. Let's fuck.

All right, Benny.

You belong to me now.

Oh, sweetheart, darling.

that's why I can't do the things I should

Maybe if you said you loved me more, I could.

Maybe I love you too much

and I never ever loved before

What's happen?

Love's not in who's loving the other one more

We tried the only way you know to show you that I care

I've reached for you in dreams I've had now that you are here

Well, I only wanna hold you and always make you smile.

Help you laugh away, each and every day, like I apply it every time.

Maybe, I love you too much

And I hope to God I always do

I've seen the world and the best thing is loving you.

And show me of you if only

Oh Ben.

'cause I didn't want it for down

Try to touch the earth, but now we're going to pass around.

Oh you're good.

I have lived my life in stages.

Now my journey's homeward bound.

Well, I've seen it all

Darling go was the best things that I've found

Maybe, I love you too much.

And I hope to God I always do.

I've seen the world and the best thing is loving you

I've seen the world and the best loving you

I've seen the world and the best thing is loving you

Marry?

I just can't believe that, anywhere in Sylvia's nature...

there would be the things that you described.

Are you positively certain that it's not demon possession?

Well, in the biblical medieval sense, yes.

But not being knowledgeable in demonology,
I would not know if an exorcist could help.

I can only follow my professional training.

Why Sylvia? W-What caused this terrible illness with her?

Well, as best as I can psychologically identify it,
the cause of the fact that it was a battered childhood syndrome.

Battered child? Sylvia's parents?

Sylvia's mother.

Never!

She was most certainly a violent schizophrenic,

and the taproot of Sylvia's dissociation into multiple selves.

No! I will not believe your analysis!

Sylvia's mother was devoutly religious.
She was a loving, kind, gentle person.

Grave as Sylvia's mental disease is,

She first originated, it is a protective device.

When I pull out these fingernails and make them longer,
your fingernails will look so pretty.

Ouh, Mommy!

Please!

When I put the new fingernail polish on,

they'll be so pretty.

Ouch, Mommy!

Please stop, Mommy!

Ouch, Mommy!

Ouch, Mommy!

Ouch, Mommy!

Please don't hurt me!

Mommy.

Mommy? You are an annoying little girl.
Do you know that?!

Girl!

Bad girl!

Bad, bad!

Bad girl!

Mommy, that's what I would do if I were your mommy.

Mary, Mary, you're quite contrary, but you're so good, I know.

Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O, and on his farm he had some ducks, E-I-E-I-O.

With a quack-quack here, and a quack-quack there,
Here a quack, there quack, everywhere quack-quack.

Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O, your turn.

All the king's horses, all the king's men, couldn't put Humpty together again.

Your turn.

I believe that Sylvia was normal at birth,

and fought back at her mother's torturous behavior until she was three, four years of age.

Why do you love your Dolly so much?

Don't you love your mommy, too?

I hate you.

I hate you.

I hate you!

I wish you were never born!

I hate you.

I wish you were never born.

I wish you were never--

Your turn.

There's a way.

We're not there.

That's the only one.

I love you Mommy.

I love you, my precious baby.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

God.

- Ouch, Mommy! Please don't hurt me!
- Ooh annoying little bitch.

Touching yourself again, weren't you?

Don't deny it.

I've been watching you during the whole bath.

No, mommy.

No, honest.
I was just washing myself.

Liar.

Liar.

Liar!

I'd rather see you dead than see you involved in dirty sex things.

Yes.

That's the best way.

Make her feel the pain.

The disgust!

I wish you were never born.

I wish you were never born.

I hate you.

You'll see how you like the painful, disgusting things men are going to do to you.

Go to your bed!

Are you going to shove those into me, Mommy?

Yes.

So you'll know what to expect.

So you'll stop being so damn preoccupied with your body!

Stop being a pawn of the devil.

Get out of that bathtub, you bitch!

Out!

But, Mommy...

It's so big.

Yes.

Oh, goodness.

Did I... black out again?

Yes, Mommy.

I think you should see a doctor.

It is happening very often.

Yes.

I remember coming in to wash your... neck and your back and...

Yes, Mommy.

You started to wash my back and... it was so frightening.

Oh, Mommy, you just fell.

Oh, I was so frightened, Mommy.

Yes, I really think I should see a doctor.

I think so, too, Mommy.

Oh, well, well.

Hurry along, dear.
And get dressed.

Sylvia?

Are you fantasizing with all those strange objects again?

I'm sorry, Mommy.

Sylvia, Sylvia.

Yes, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy.

You can do all those things to Sylvia,

but you fuck with Mona and you're going to black out more and more.

The constant trauma of Sylvia's mother's ambivalent,

often sadistically cruel behavior set the psychic stage,

for Sylvia's splintered multiple selves to manifest and
live out the roles that were so severely repressed in her by her mother.

Couldn't she talk to somebody?

Her father, her aunts, her uncles? Seek help somewhere?

Fear... of the wrath of a vengeful god is instilled by her mother, which,
by the way, is the reason for Sylvia's preoccupation with religion today.

And the fear of further cruel punishment set the stage for repression in the child.

She was commanded to keep all of these things to herself.

Is there any way of bringing these personalities all together,
o-of getting the best one, of eliminating the bad ones?

Do you think there's any hope for her?

She ever be one person again?

Hopefully, yes.

Through deep hypnosis.

So that means we may be able to amalgamate, ...

synthesize the memories of all the entities.

That is, identify one to the other and unify.

Make them all one.

Make them all one and the same.

Please, please, Dr. Balaban, please try and help her.

Mona satanic little demon will not cooperate.

With Mary and Tony, they struggle a bit, but we do manage to attain some success.

Now, Tony, in a moment, you will awaken and you will come forth.

Open your eyes, Tony.

Well, Tony, I want you to do something for me.

I want you to accept the fact, that you,
that lesbian tendencies exist in the psyches of all women.

I know that, Doc.

Very few other people do though.

I'd like you to accept this and allow me to unify you...

with the other persons inhabiting Sylvia's psyche.

I don't know.

I mean, you know, what am I going to get out of it?

Well, Tony, I want you to trust me.

When I bring you all together and unify you,

you will enjoy life in a much more complete fashion.

You will have the same urges, and you can give vent to them, if you wish.

Maybe, uh, I can give something to them, too, eh? Right?

Oh, yes.

Well, now, lay back, have some faith in me,

and I'll bring you back as one complete person.

Okay.

Tony?

All right, now you, Mary, will open your eyes and appear at the present time.

Open your eyes, Mary.

You don't have to convince me, Doctor.

I like Sylvia.

As a matter of fact, I wish I could be more like her.

But I don't want to be a saint, Doctor.

I mean, there are other things in life.

Yes, yes, Mary.

And when you do become one with Sylvia,

you will be more like her, and she will be more like you.

Good, good.

Let's do it, then.

I want to be normal.

Now, lay back, and allow me to unify you.

Oh, I'm so happy, Doctor.

All right, just close your eyes.

Relax, let all things fall away from your mind.

Fuck you! Doctor!

Who do you think you're trying to con anyway?

You're not going to kill me off like you kill the rest of those drips.

I am not trying to kill you off.

Don't try to bullshit me, you fool!

I am, in fact, trying to give you a longer life.

Stop lying! You're trying to kill me!

In making you one with Sylvia,

you will enjoy the same things in a much more normal way.

Now, close your eyes!

I will not! I swear, you keep trying to kill me
and I'll get you first, Doctor.

- You will close your eyes!
- I'll get you!

I'll get you!

Close your eyes!

Don't you know a true person will never do anything contrary to their nature under hypnosis?

Yes, you and I both know that, don't we?

So, there is nothing for you to worry about.

Now, close your eyes and go back to sleep.

Close your eyes!

No!

Close your eyes!

I won't!

Close your eyes!

- I swear, I'll get you! I'll get you!
- Go to sleep!

- You're going to sleep!
- I'll get you!

Sleep!

Sleep!

All right, I'll sleep for now.

Deep sleep!

You can have Sylvia, I'll give her to you...

Deep sleep!

For now.

I swear, I'll get you!

Go into a deep...

I'll kill you!

- I'll get you!
- Sleep!

I'll get you!

We are dealing with a multiple entity that is at times a saint, a woman, a devil,

and a butch-type lesbian.

Our devilish Mona, not content,
with demon-like pursuit of sexual pleasure,

now takes sadistic delight, in plaguing the others and at the most unexpected times.

Baby, I knew you were my kind of girl.

Honey, why don't you relax, take it easy, sit down.

I'm gonna go inside and put on something more comfortable.

Oh, and, uh, make a couple of drinks.

You know, baby. You and I are really gonna get along.

You wanna know why?

Why?

Because i dig a girl who really knows what she wants
and doesn't put on any phony acts about it.

And you want me, right?

Yeah, if there's one thing I can't stand,
it's all those broads who say no, no, no,

when all they really mean is yes, yes, yes.

Oh, baby, let's do it. Let's do it.
Let's do it, honey. Let's do it.

Wait a minute.

Oh baby.

Wait a minute.

You're pretty selfish, aren't you?

What's wrong? What do you mean?

Don't you think you ought to, uh,

help a lady out?

Help her get in the right mood,
free you just jump on top of her?

What do you mean? You're with me.
You got in the mood when you met me.

Okay, sugar.
All right.

I just want to have a drink.

Then you can have anything you want.

All the action you want.

So, the wonderful Mr. Marco doesn't approve of being let on
and then let down, huh?

Of course, when you're well-built and pretty good-looking.
What girl really means it when she turns you down?

Oh, my God.

Who are you?

Who am I?

What are you, nuts?

This is my apartment.

Hey, what are you trying to pull?

Come on, let's do it.

Get out of here!

My apartment.

Call the police!

Listen to me.

Oh, let me go!

Oh, have mercy on me!
Oh, my God, let me go!

Oh, Father, please.

Oh, God, oh, God.

Help me.

Help me.

Help me. Please help me.

Please, taxi.

Taxi!

Taxi!

Help!

Help!

There are things I don't understand.

Please talk with me promptly.

Help me, please.

Help me, please.

Hello?

Tob'.

Oh, I was falling asleep while phones ringing.

Where are you?

Like you said, I had to leave.

Oh, look Tob', don't feel bad,
I understand how you feel.

But listen, what I don't think you understand
is Cousin Sylvia.

Oh yeah i think you're right.

I'm not saying i understand her...

But i left you the number where i'm staying, you know...

Well, about an hour ago she called and insisted i go to a party.

Wants me to meet some of her friends,
it was something about the way she sounded...

Rambling, disjointed, her voice, well, different.

Oh, i don't know i just felt you should know.

Sheila, where's this party going to be? What's the address?

Hum, let me see, i have the address somewhere...

Oh yeah, it's somewhere down in the village, huh, 113 Hester Street.

113 Hester, okay, bye-bye.

I just want to celebrate.

Yeah, gonna make you feel free.

How about yourself a little something for the head?

Yeah.

Do we know each other?

Maybe we gonna should.
We got something going.

Come here, I'll show you something. Sit down please.

Yeah, I want you to stop down on my block.

Let's see who you tell us.

Oh, come on.

Oh, God.

SYL-VI-A!!

Sylvia?

Syl-vi-a!!

How you feeling today?

Oh not well.

Not well at all, i'm afraid Toby.

I've just had another spell of... blackouts.

Blackouts?

And my migraine's back. I'm not... I'm not well at all, Toby.

I'm afraid I'm not well at all.

Well, Sylvia, I spoke to Dr. Balaban and, uh...

He thinks he can relieve you of some of your discomfort.

And I really do believe in him. I think he's a fantastic doctor.

Isn't he the nicest man? So sweet. So sweet.

Huh, Sylvia, I'm really tired. I'm going to go take a nap.

Do it today.

Hey, cool man. That's Mona.

She brought us the stuff.

Snort of horses is all I need.

I gotta feel good, man.

You did bring the stuff, did you?

You brought the stuff, didn't you?

You got some stuff for me?

Please! Please! Please give me the stuff!

Give me the goddamn stuff!

I need it!

Please, please! Just give me the stuff!

Please!

Did you bring some stuff for my arm?

Give me some stuff for my arm!

Please, some stuff for my arm!

Where's my stuff?

Why don't you hear me? Where's my stuff for my arm?

Hey, save some stuff for me.

- Save some for me.
- I'm thirsty asshole.

- Give me some of that stuff!
- Get your hands and ban of that damn stuff!

Don't! Out of me!

It's a snuffin'!

I'm saving you some!

Give me some of that snuffin'!

Why do you fond that?

Oh, baby, you've come.

We were just rappin' about you, man.

Yeah, baby.

How about that?

We do it today.

You may.

We and that meddler who's been bugging you?

Sure, baby.

We want to keep as happy as you keep us.

Anything you say.

And we'll kill anybody in this heavy mad world you say, baby.

You just keep that grass coming.

And some bread. Now and then.

And keep giving us some of your super, super head.

No.

No.

I'm not in the mood.

I ain't in the mood.

You know, you feel like you were in the mood when you were this.

I'm not here for that.

No, we're not going to do it now.

We're going to kill that meddler first.

Yeah, you will kill him any old time.
But first, I'm going to make love to you.

Okay, baby.

All right.

Go for that thing.

Just once.

And I'll tell you.

But it'll be a hell of a watch.

I listen to my heart and I tell myself it's right to be in your bed
Song by Gene Press and Shelley Pinz 18Mar76

With my sleepy head upon your pillow

Sharing one whole night in life, I don't care if it's wrong or right in your bed, to be in your bed

The autumn nights when I was home
? I cashed it in for the boat to race

Then fell asleep

I did not want to keep my lovin'

Looovin'

I prayed each night above you come i like it's so be honored in your bed

It's like angels led all paths together

Meet and face your best tonight and find out what love is like in your bed. To be in your bed

The silence is alive and young

It feels so we have been one forever

Since time began, fate's brought us hand to hand. And you touch me, touch me

I listen to my heart and I tell myself it's right to be in your bed

With my sleepy head upon your pillow

Sharing one whole night in love, I don't care if it's wrong or right in your bed, to be in your bed

Hello, doctor.

Told you I was going to kill you.

Me, you, friend?

Soft pass.

Doctor, huh?

Yeah, how about that?

You're wrong, Mona, I ain't never intended to kill you.

I just wanted to add some substance to your life.

Bullshit!

What are you waiting for?

He's a motherfucking killer.

Cool. We just thought of something, didn't we, Nate?

Yeah, Joe, I'm with you.

Okay, Pops.

We want everything you got, your uppers and your downers!

That's not what we're here for, you get drugs, baby kill the man!

- That's what we're here for.
- Easy!

Easy, you're going to get everything you want.

Okay, Pops. Where's the drug cabinet? Where is it?!

Well, I-I do have some... in my safe behind that painting.

Well, it's your safe, ain't it?
Get up and get him.

Move!!

- Yeah, move, you son of a bitch. Move.
- Move!!

Over there!

Get in there!

Hold up, my friend. Back up. Back one eye and I'll splatter your sick brains around this office.

You've had it now. You back up. Both you guys get up. Get up!

Back away, Mona.

All right.

Now you get up, you people.

Get on into that couch.

Go on, get up!

Now you, Mona.

I want you to listen to me.

You come forward and sit down here.

Now, Mona, I want you to think.

I could very safely kill you and get away with it, couldn't I?

It would be self-defense.

Yes, look at your junkie friends.

Look at them!

Junkies.

Armed and in search of drugs.

If I shot them, ...

could I get away with murder?

Could I?

Answer me!

Yes.

That would help my case, wouldn't it?

Now I let them go.

Will you trust me?

Oh yes.

Accept me as a friend?

Now, you two idiots.

You must be under the impression that all doctors are softies and bookworms, huh?

Maybe I should thank you.

You've done much to restore confidence to an aging doctor.

I'm gonna let you go.

The only reason I don't call the police...

that they would never, could never understand about Mona.

Now get the hell out of here.

But... I'm going to get your history from Mona,

and if I don't hear from you from a withdrawal clinic, ...

the law will come down on you hard.

Now get!

Now...

could you accept me as a friend?

And accept the fact that all I truly want is to help you?

Yes doctor.

I'm sorry.

Would you do something for me?

Anything. Anything you ask.

Would you allow me to lead you into a deep hypnotic trance sleep?

and allow me to melt your mind
and the minds of Tony and Mary into one mind with Sylvia?

Without you, Mona, meddling in any way?

Come with me to the couch.

Now just let all things fall away from your mind.

Would you sit for me Mona?

Good.

Here, I'll take this from you.

Now lie back and relax.

Close your eyes.

Relax.

Let me lead you into a deep hypnotic sleep.

Good.

Now just relax.

Close your eyes.

Relax.

And you'll find that hypnotic sleep is easy for you, Mona.

For the principal mind, you are part of has been hypnotized.

Accepts hypnotic sleep.

Relax.

Enjoy relaxing into a deep, deep, comfortable sleep.

You are asleep, Mona.

And now your memory will join the memories of Tony and Mary and Sylvia.

You are willing to do this, as they are willing to accept you.

Sylvia, your memory is now becoming clear.

The blanks in your memory track will now be filled by the experiences that you have had.

Relax.

Just relax.

Relax, Sylvia.

Your memory is now becoming clear.

The blanks in your memory track will now be filled by the experiences that you have had.

You are now one with all your memories.

These memories will, on occasion, prompt thoughts and impulses within you.

They will prove troublesome to you.

But you will accept them as normal impulses.

And you will cope with them.

Control them if you wish.

Now upon awakening you will feel refreshed ...

and happy realizing that at last you are the one well-rounded happy person.

I will now count from three to one backwards.

At the count of one, you will be wide awake.

Wide awake.

Three.

Two.

One.

Wake up.

Wake up, Sylvia.

Well, how do you feel?

Wonderful.

Why?

It's incredible.

I feel...

I feel glorious.

Oh, I feel marvelous, Doctor.

Wonderful.

Wonderful.

Thank the Lord.

It seemed to have worked.

Good.

Oh, God.

Oh, thank goodness. Thank goodness.

I've had my doubts.

I don't mind admitting that.

I must record in the minutest detail.

Yes, this will make psychiatric history.

Oh, Doctor, you were just wonderful.

So patient.

So kind.

So understanding.

I don't know.

I don't know how I'll ever repay.

Oh, let's not consider payment now.

Quel dommage.

Oh, my.

Oh gosh!

How ... How cheap my appearance.

Well, it certainly doesn't go with the way I feel.

That is very interesting.

I'll be very curious to see how the new amalgamated Sylvia
will respond to fashion, makeup.

How it interesting.

I see much clearer without my glasses.

And what I see...

I do believe I like.

An improvement in your sight.

Now, that's an interesting point.

Much better.

Doctor, I must tell you.

Yes?

George Bernard Shaw could not have done as much for his Pygmalion as you have done for me.

Hmm, yes is right.

And ...

and because of ...

all your patience, ...

painstaking dedication to your craft, ...

I, I truly feel as if I've been, I've been born anew.

Born anew, that's the very thing we're striving to do.

Wonderful, yes, born anew.

And during all the time we spent in therapy, doctor,
an amorous yearning has been manifesting within me.

A libidinous, salacious...

Yes, doctor.

And this yearning ...

... has turned into a maddening itch for you, my dear.

Sylvia.

No, darling.

My name is Iris.

And Iris...

... has never been laid.
