Temple Grandin (2010)/Transcript

Temple: My name is Temple Grandin. I'm not like other people. I think in pictures and I connect them.
Dr. Carlock: Temple?
Temple: Where do they go?
Dr. Carlock: I don't know. Um, heaven, maybe. Uh, somewhere. Temple, when... animals and people die, they stay with us in our minds. We can still see them. So I think it would be best not to remember Chestnut like this. Okay?
Temple: I see Chestnut the day I arrived. I see grooming Chestnut. I see a picture of a horse just like Chestnut in a book. We passed a chestnut horse on route 119 near a feedstore. There was one on a calendar at Aunt Ann's. There was one in Life magazine, opposite the page of Mr. Kennedy...
Dr. Carlock: Okay. O-okay. Can you bring everything you've seen to your mind?
Temple: Sure.
Dr. Carlock: Even if it were, uh, an everyday object like, uh, say shoes?
Temple: I see all the shoes I've worn, my mother's, and other people I've met. And you have three pairs-- one needs a new heel. And I see the newspaper ads and TV ads and...
Dr. Carlock: Wow.
Temple: Can't you?
Dr. Carlock: This girl has an amazing mind.
Hodges: Try teaching her math. Her algebra's hopeless.
Madame Davide: Or French. "Why are there so many fish in France?"
Dr. Carlock: I want to show you something. She thinks in pictures. That's she does so well when she can see the things that are being discussed. Like, um, biology. Or... or... shop. Those are concrete things. But language or algebra? It's just gibberish to her.
Peters: What's that?
Dr. Carlock: Do you want to see your French fish? "The eels ate." "Il est." "Eel ate." Ils sont, il danse, il pense. French is full of "eels," and this is what she sees. She's an amazing visual thinker. Let me work with her.
Peters: Fine.
