Ron Says…

“Well, people pick up their valences rather easily and stack them in. Now, it wasn’t necessary for the person to have a moment of physical pain and unconsciousness, to then pick up the valence of this movie star, you see. All he had to do was go to a movie and they felt kind of sick and they were a little bit tired and they’re looking at the screen sort of fixedly or they’ve had an operation in the last few days and this becomes part of a physical pain experience, you see. They just hook it onto the end, hook it into place, move into the valence and after that go around Humphrey Bogart-ing everybody. It’s quite amazing, quite amazing.”
