Like the bodies of the dead men? Dr. Karl Weigand:
Yes - and their brain tissue, which, after all, is nothing more than a storage house for electrical impulses. Dale Drewer:
That means that the crab can eat his victim's brain, absorbing his mind intact and working. Dr. Karl Weigand:
It's as good a theory as any other to explain what's happened. Martha Hunter:
But, Doctor, that theory doesn't explain why Jules' and Carson's minds have turned against us. Dale Drewer:

Any metal therefore that the crab eats
00:00:02.949 --> 00:00:05.586
will be assimilated in his body of solid energy
00:00:05.661 --> 00:00:07.459
becoming part of the crab
00:00:07.535 --> 00:00:08.973
Like the bodies of the dead men

Yes

It's as good a theory as any other to explain what's happened
00:00:23.235 --> 00:00:24.748
But doctor that theory doesn't explain
00:00:24.772 --> 00:00:27.167
why Jules' and Carson's minds have turned against us
00:00:27.436 --> 00:00:29.183
