Jekyll has just had his case rejected by the Board of Governors, who think his experiment is too strange.
John Utterson, his friend and lawyer, comforts him and tells him that he must continue on.
[JEKYLL]
How can I pursue the truth
When they can block each step I take?
[UTTERSON]
Henry, you have come too far -
Remember what you have at stake!
[JEKYLL]
John, I know I'm right!
I must let my vision guide me!
I’m so weary of the fight!
There's so little left inside me!
[UTTERSON]
If you know that you are right
Then you've got to see it through
You’ve got to see it through!
[JEKYLL]
Seven years ago
I started out on this alone
And it's alone I'll see it through
To its conclusion!
Who are they
To judge what I am doing?
They know nothing
Of the endless possibilities I see!
It's ludicrous I'm bound by their decision!
[UTTERSON]
Seems vision
Is a word
They've never heard!
[JEKYLL]
If it mattered less
I'd treat them with derision -
It's absurd!
[UTTERSON]
And yet, the fact remains
Those bastards hold the reins!
