Dialogue

Dr. Marais: These days inspector everything is Freud or it is nothing, Freud and the labido, anything new, especialy from zoologists like myself...

Prof. Paul Dupin: ...At least has a reception here. Dr. Marais maintains that in all forms of life, from the mico to man, the killer instinct lies latent.

Dr. Marais: Held in check for most of us, but for others igniting under certain hatred, or passion, or a crowning frustration, or a total collapse of one's beliefs...
