He’s exaggerating a bit! I have my own private life. I’m a surgeon and I have patients…

Everything is true, except that now the reality at the institute has changed. We recruited two new people, second- and third-year history students, but they’re completely raw. Anyway, Reuven needs you because of the connection with “the creature.”
There’s no one who will come and contact him…
LYDIA
I’m willing to help on a one-time basis but-

I don’t need to explain to you how this project is important, how much Yechiel’s legacy is for future generations.
LYDIA
What does Reuven want, that I will leave everything I’ve built here as a surgeon?
