Lena:
Why did my husband volunteer for a suicide mission?Dr Ventress:Is that what you think we're doing? Committing suicide?Lena:You must have profiled him. You must have assessed him. He must have said something.Dr Ventress:So You're asking me as a psychologist?Lena:Yeah.Dr Ventress:Then, as a psychologist, I think you're confusing suicide with self-destruction. Almost none of us commit suicide, and almost all of us self-destruct. In some way, in some part of our lives. We drink, or we smoke, we destabilize the good job... and a happy marriage. But these aren't decisions, they're... they're impulses. In fact, you're probably better equipped to explain this than I am.Lena:What does that mean?Dr Ventress:You're a biologist. Isn't the self-destruction coded into us? Programmed into each cell?

Is that what you think we're doing
00:00:06.381 --> 00:00:08.549
Committing suicide You must have profiled him
00:00:08.633 --> 00:00:10.003
you must have assessed him

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:27.026
I'd say you're confusing suicide with self destruction

Or the happy marriage
00:00:53.219 --> 00:00:55.221

What does that mean
00:01:04.999 --> 00:01:05.982
You're a biologist
00:01:07.358 --> 00:01:09.777
Isn't self destruction coded into us
00:01:10.194 --> 00:01:11.654
Programmed into each cell
