00:00Ladies and gentlemen, you're about to witness one of the scientific marvels of the age.
00:07You're about to see Chandra the Great in an exhibition of mind reading that has baffled doctors, scientists and college professors.
00:23I see your husband in an apartment with another woman.
00:30A woman? Who is she?
00:33You said I was going to be happy and have kids.
00:36Well, my husband ran off, left me right after we was married.
00:40And the man I really loved, the man you told me not to marry, killed himself. Do you hear me? Killed himself over me.
00:47That's how good you help people.
01:00You're nothing but a cheap, despicable faker, preying on people's minds and giving them a lot of stupid, silly advice that just drives them to trouble and unhappiness.
01:12You could never change. It's born in you.
01:14No, you're wrong, Sylvia. For you, I could do anything. You're the only thing I love. I need you now more than ever.
01:20I made a woman tell herself. I've broken up homes. I've broken up my own home. Here, take it away. Gaze into it. Play with it like a coconut, you sleep.
