Let's go to the can

- You come here by car?

- How else?

I've just found the pajamas

she kept asking me about...

I thought she was talking nonsense,

but I found it.

I don't Know

why she wants precisely this one...

I don't Know

why she bought so many of them...

Look!

It's pink...

She has others, too...

There are about ten of them in her closet.

To the right...

- Is she still on perfusions?

- Yeah...

- But is she still repeating herself?

- I didn't notice...

You know, when I Went to the hospital

it was awful.

She was just being moved

from Radiology in a Wheelchair

She looked at me, absent-minded.

She had murky eyes,

as if she were on drugs

and she asked me where she was

and what had happened.

There are two other ladies in her Ward.

One of them, poor thing,

was in a dreadful car accident

on that curve in Hateg.

All her family is in hospital.

The car is a wreck, I saw it on TV

Her face...

you'd be horrified if you saw it.

And the girl... she's in the 7th grade.

Both her feet are broken.

Thank God it's not Worse!

God, it reeks in here...

Can mom undress all by herself

and stuff like that?

Yeah. She remembers

what she did this morning,

because I tested her with questions.

What she was Wearing...

She remembers everything.

She knows that today

they installed video cameras

at the school.

Then she only remembers

about being in the ambulance

and asking them

to turn off the siren

'cause she was embarrassed.

But the worst thing was

that she Kept whispering to me,

though the other two could hear her,

"Donn, go bring me those pink pajamas

and a pair of panties".

I'd nod and, a couple of minutes later,

shed start all over again

Go bring me those pink pajamas".

I didn't know what to say any more...

People are unbelievable beings...

One single screw loosens

and you're gaga already!

Did you tell Crisan about Nuti?

Yeah, I did, but...

He said that he also studied neurology

and that he's good at it.

He's good at sh*t, dad!

Susu told me he'll butt in

and that we have to move her

under Nu;I's care...

He said he'd treated patients

like your mom before

and everything will be alright...

Can't you understand

that he really Wants to help us?!

He should mind his own business!

We need a neurologist!

- You'll talk to him in the morning...

- I can hardly Wait!

- But it ain't nice!

- I can hardly Wait!

To the right...

To the right and in the back...

Do you think

it's Wise for mom to see me?

Delia told me she was crying

because I'm coming...

- What do you mean, crying?

- I don't know!

Delia said her mom told her

that she saw mom crying...

Yeah, 'cause she kept asking

when you'd get here...
