(Stares at him.) How wonderful it is! Beyond all believing! I'm stunned by it... afraid of it. Tell me, Hal, were you ever drunk? (HENRY: Once or twice.) (Seriously.) I never was. But I've watched my people sometimes and tried to understand it. And it's just that. Nature has made us drunk! (HENRY: And that is what frightens you?) She has her purposes, Hal; and I don't want to be her blind victim. But then, I look at you again, and wonder leaps up in me... love, such as I never conceived of before; power... vision without end. I seem to be a hundred times myself! It is as if barriers were broken down within me... I see into new vistas of life. I understand... I exult! Oh, Hal, I shall never be the same again!
