Dr. Yogami:
May I congratulate you sir, on the amazing collection of plants you've assembled here.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Thank you.
Dr. Yogami:
Evolution was in a strange mood, when that creation came along.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Yes.
Dr. Yogami:
It makes one wonder just where the plant world leaves off and the animal world begins.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Have I met you before, sir?
Dr. Yogami:
In Tibet, once. But only for a moment... In the dark.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
In the dark?
Dr. Yogami:
Let me introduce myself again. I am Dr. Yogami.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
How do you do, sir?
Dr. Yogami:
Like yourself, a student, a nurturist of plants.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Dr. Yogami.
Dr. Yogami:
Pardon?
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Do I understand you to say, that we met in Tibet?
Dr. Yogami:
Yes. And unless I'm mistaken, we were both on a similar mission.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
Yes.
Dr. Yogami:
Would it be intrusive if I should ask you... If you were successful?
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
In what?
Dr. Yogami:
In obtaining a specimen of the Mariphasa lumina lupina: The phosphorescent wolf flower. Well, you know it only blooms under the rays of the moon. My specimens died on the journey back.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
As a scientist, sir, as a botanist you actually believe that this flower takes its life from moonlight?
Dr. Yogami:
I do.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
So far I've been unsuccessful in persuading mine to bloom by moonlight or any other kind of light.
Dr. Yogami:
Let me see them.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
I'm very sorry. I'll have to ask you to excuse me.
Dr. Yogami:
May I go along with you?
[They're both shown later sitting down]

Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
[skeptical]
This flower is an antidote for..for what
Dr. Yogami:
Werewolfery. Lycanthrophobia is the medical term for the affliction I speak of.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
And do you expect me to believe that a man so affected actually becomes a wolf under the influence of the full moon?
Dr. Yogami:
No. The werewolf is neither man nor wolf but a satanic creature, with the worst qualities of both.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
I'm afraid, sir, but I gave up my belief in goblins, witches, personal devils, and werewolves at the age of six.
Dr. Yogami:
But that does not alter the fact that in workaday, modern, London today at this very moment there are two cases of werewolfery known to me.
Dr. Wilfred Glendon:
And how did these unfortunate gentleman contract this medieval unpleasantness?
Dr. Yogami:
[reaches for Glendons arm]
From the bite of another werewolf. These men are doomed but for this flower the Mariphasa.
