JUNG IN LOVE

SCENE 1. JUNG'S OFFICE

Zurich, 1904. A doctor's office in the Burgozhli sanatorium for the mentally ill. Sabina Spielrein, a beautiful 18-year old young woman, whose mental problems are evident in her behavior, is pulling feathers out of a pillow and throwing them onto the floor. Her back is to the door. Dr. Carl Jung enters, a good-looking doctor of 33 years of age. With a medical file in his hand, he observes the patient. Sabina senses his presence and stops pulling out the feathers. She turns around.

CARL JUNG

Dr. Carl Jung. I will be your doctor here at Burghölzli.

Carl Jung gestures towards the chair. Sabina sits. Carl Jung picks up the folder and reads it. Sabina takes advantage of this time to pick up the feathers.

CARL JUNG

Sabina Spielrein. In German, Spielrein means...

SPIELREIN (interrupting)

Fair play.

CARL JUNG

It also means pure games.

SPIELREIN (interrupting)

Why does that matter?

Sabina Spielrein makes strange faces and tongue movements.
