Robert Verne:"It's methylmercury poisoning, that's what it is. This whole place has been contaminated."
Maggie Verne:"How do you know?"
Robert Verne:"The Indians eat the fish, and they behave like they're drunk when they haven't had a drop of liquor. That raccoon convulsing and turning vicious, its brain turned to mush. Even that old man, that Indian, you saw the burns on his fingers."
Maggie Verne:"Is that from mercury?"
Robert Verne:"It's from cigarettes; the reason he didn't feel it is from mercury. You see, it acts on the nervous system; it destroys the brain."
