[00:10.67]RECORDING SECRETARY:The Board of Governors of St. Jude's Hospital is now in session
[00:16.28]Sir Danvers Carew, KBE, Chairman
[00:20.53]His Grace, The Bishop of Basingstoke
[00:26.91]General Lord Glossop
[00:30.47]The Right Honorable Sir Archibald Proops, Q.C
[00:37.09]Lady Beaconsfield
[00:40.78]Lord Savage
[00:44.67]The Order of business will be conducted by the Secretary to the Board of Governors, Mr. Simon Stride
[00:54.69]STRIDE :Proposition No. 929: Presented by Dr. Henry Jekyll
[01:03.41]GENERAL GLOSSOP:Jekyll, you're all talk an' no result!...
[01:05.06]BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE:Forever asking us to endorse empty promises!
[01:06.57]SIR ARCHIBALD PROOPS:What's all the mystery? Much ado about nothing, if you ask me...
[01:09.11]LADY BEACONSFIELD:You're the laughingstock of your profession and polite society! The mad scientist!
[01:12.02]STRIDE:Order! Order!
[01:23.21]JEKYLL:Distinguished Governors
[01:25.21]I have glimpsed the future
[01:27.87]Seen miracles that stun the mind
[01:29.94]And marvels only science can find
[01:32.39]To shape tomorrow for mankind
[01:34.93]And I can show them to you
[01:38.12]If you wish me to...
[01:45.09]
[01:51.47]Friends, you're aware there are two sides to each of us
[01:54.51]Good and evil, compassion and hate
[01:57.14]If we could extract all the evil from each of us
[02:00.60]Think of the world that we could create
[02:04.14]A world without anger or violence or strife
[02:07.27]Where man wouldn't kill anymore
[02:10.37]A world of compassion, where passion for life
[02:13.97]Would banish the madness of war
[02:19.41]I'm close to finding the key to duality
[02:22.82]Chemical Formulae which could - and would
[02:26.59]Alter the patterns of man's personality
[02:29.44]Guiding him either to evil or good!
[02:32.59]Weigh the potential, the great possibilities
[02:35.92]Colleagues - dear friends, understand
[02:39.57]We have a chance to make history here in our hand
[02:46.33]
[02:48.94]Each of us is the embodiment of two distinct and opposing forces
[02:53.57]Good and Evil -each fighting for supremacy inside us.
[02:56.73]If we could separate these two forces, we could control and ultimately eliminate all evil from mankind.
[03:02.96]My experiments with animals have led me to believe that the day is not far off when this separation will be possible.
[03:09.73]To achieve it, I must be allowed to try my formula on a living human being!
[03:14.01]BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE:And what if you're right, Jekyll? And you do manage to separate Good from Evil...
[03:19.94]what happens to the evil?
[03:22.29]JEKYLL:There are doomed, broken souls in a thousand asylums
[03:26.40]I defy you to say you don't care if you can
[03:29.00]In the name of compassion and medical science
[03:32.18]I can save many lives, if you give me one man
[03:39.27]BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE:I tell you now, the Church will never sanction it!
[03:44.08]VARIOUS:Sacrilege! Lunacy! Blasphemy! Heresy!
[03:47.31]SIR ARCHIBALD PROOPS:You seem to be treading on dangerous ground
[03:49.78]In legal terms, I'd say - extremely unsound!
[03:52.88]BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE:The whole thing's un-christian, barbaric and odd!
[03:56.27]You're playing with fire when you start to play God!
[04:00.07]STRIDE:The Bishop speaks for all of us
[04:01.28]When he says you're playing God!
[04:02.98]There's such a thing as ethics
[04:04.80]Over which you ride rough-shod!
[04:06.83]You're a Doctor, not a saviour
[04:08.55]Doctor Jekyll, for a start!
[04:10.28]But I judge from your behaviour
[04:12.38]You can't tell the two apart!
[04:18.08]JEKYLL:Dear Mr. Stride, I am simply a scientist
[04:21.21]I have a code to which I remain true
[04:24.00]I don't presume to the stature of moralist
[04:27.17]I leave pretension like that, Sir, to you!
[04:30.47]SIR DANVERS:Henry, I've always encouraged your enterprise
[04:33.44]And I've been hopeful that you would succeed!
[04:36.62]But in the face of these powerful arguments
[04:40.18]I see no choice but for you to concede!
[04:48.95]JEKYLL:I know my fate is yours to choose
[04:51.23]But if they win, the world would lose
[04:53.16]I am on the brink of great success!
[04:55.94]I beg you, Governors, you must say "Yes!"
[05:02.07]LADY BEACONSFIELD:Doctor Jekyll, enough of this ranting, Sir!
[05:04.81]This is a hospital, here to save lives!
[05:08.09]GOVERNORS:Do you think we would let you play havoc
[05:11.05]With all the high principles for which it strives?
[05:14.31]Do you expect us to compromise all that we stand for
[05:18.70]Indulging your dangerous games?
[05:21.09]How many rules should we break for your dubious games?
[05:25.45]JEKYLL:Can't you see? I am not playing games!
[05:28.23]Just give me the opportunity!
[05:30.26]GENERAL GLOSSOP:This whole thing's too bizarre!
[05:32.13]SIR DANVERS:Open up your eyes and see!
[05:33.78]BISHOP OF BASINGSTOKE:This man has gone too far!
[05:36.15]JEKYLL:Unless you listen to me...
[05:37.70]STRIDE:Doctor, please watch your tone!
[05:39.15]Dammit, man, can't you see?
[05:41.05]You're on your own!
[05:43.91]JEKYLL:Fools!
[05:44.11]GOVERNERS:(unintelligible yelling)
[05:44.70]You fools!
[05:45.52]God damn your rules
[05:46.97]Look at yourselves
[05:48.04]Civilized men!
[05:48.91]Why can't you see?
[05:54.09]STRIDE:Order! Order!
[05:55.22]JEKYLL:If I ever needed further justification for my experiments, gentlemen, you have just provided it!
[06:01.36]JEKYLL:Just look at what has happened here!
[06:03.27]Mix anger with a touch of fear
[06:04.89]The danger's all too crystal-clear
[06:06.67]Just look at you!
[06:07.89]Our darker side keeps breaking through
[06:10.20]Observe it now - in me and you!
[06:11.84]The evil that all men can do
[06:13.61]Must be controlled!
[06:15.00]I beg of you
[06:16.59]I'll show you all it can be done!
[06:23.47]Here is a chance to take charge of our fate
[06:26.16]Deep down you must know that tomorrow's too late
[06:30.73]One rule of life we cannot rearrange
[06:35.03]The only thing constant is change
[06:42.08]The only thing constant... is change
[06:51.03]STRIDE:Distinguished colleagues, your verdict, please
[06:56.20]All those is favour, say "Aye"
[07:02.04]All those opposed, "Nay"
[07:08.30]GOVERNORS:Nay! Nay! Nay! Nay!
[07:12.07]Positively, absolutely nay!
[07:22.51]STRIDE:Sir Danvers?
[07:27.01]SIR DANVERS:Abstain
[07:29.77]STRIDE:By five votes to none - with one abstention - Proposition 929 is rejected.
[07:35.39]Thank you for your time, Dr. Jekyll
[07:39.00]SIR DANVERS:I am truly sorry, Henry
[07:45.12]JEKYLL:All these precious years I've dedicated to this dream
[07:49.06]Now with a word they claim the power to deny me
[07:52.75]Who are they to judge what I am doing?
[07:55.39]They know nothing of the endless possibilities I see
[07:59.98]It's ludicrous I'm bound by their decision
[08:02.97]Seems vision is a word they've never heard!
[08:07.23]If it mattered less, I'd treat it with derision
[08:10.43]It's absurd!
[08:15.35]And yet the fact remains
[08:19.04]Those bastards hold the reins!
[08:27.49]STRIDE:I'm so sorry, Doctor Jekyll
[08:31.57]What a really rotten shame!
[08:34.21]I so hope that what has happened
[08:37.24]Won't destroy your precious name!
[08:43.51]Henry Jekyll, I despise you!
[08:50.24]You have stolen the girl who should be my wife!
[08:55.40]But there'll come a day, not so far away
[09:01.42]When you'll not only pay
[09:04.24]You will pay all your life!
[09:16.50]
