Officer Allen: Will he be OK, Doc?
Psychologist: The years spent in isolation have not equipped him with the tools necessary to judge right from wrong. He's had no context. He's been completely without guidance.

It seems clear that his awareness of what we call reality is radically underdeveloped.

Psychologist: Oh yeah, he'll be fine.
