Well, actually I'm not

Harry today. I'm Edward.

- Oh, really?

- Yes. Edward Grey.

- That's a nice name.

- I'm glad you like it.

So should I call you Edward?

Yes. Harry and all of

his problems are on vacation.

I like that. Edward.

And I like your perfume.

Um, so it seems the treatment

is having some positive results.

What's for dinner?

Steak, grilled vegetables

and applesauce for dessert.

But I'm getting half

of that, remember?

What are you doing, Edward?

I mean Harry.

I think I should go.

I'll see you later.

Holy sh*t.

Good morning, Harry.

Could I have my medication?

Yes, but first

let's talk a little bit.

Can we please

do that some other time?

It won't be long. I just

need to ask a few questions.

So, have you noticed

any changes yet, Harry?

Yesterday,

I felt a little better.

Good. And how

about your insomnia?

Yes, can I please

have my medication now?

Just a couple more questions,

it won't be long.

Are you still having headaches?

No.

God! Could you just

give me the damn pill!

I'm sorry, Doctor...

that was out of line.

I'm just really excited

because I think the

treatment might be working

and I don't want to go back.

It's all right, Harry.

I understand.

But it's important

that we have these sessions

and that you continue to monitor

your emotions very closely.

Ok. We can stop for today.

I hope I didn't hurt you

too much.

Hold this please.

So I'm happy to see you're getting

better and better every day.

- Do you have a boyfriend?

- No.

Good.

I'll get back to work.

See you later.

I have some bad news, Harry.

Unfortunately we're going to have

to discontinue the treatment.

What?

It recently came

to our attention that

the medication's formula

just needs to be worked upon.

What are you talking about?

I never felt better in my whole life.

Oh, I know, Harry.

But trust me when I tell you

we only have your

best interest in mind.

And right now, what we researchers need

to do is get back to the drawing board.

But it's working, Doctor!

I'm living proof that it's working.

You have been

super helpful, Harry.

And of course you'll be compensated

for your time and effort.

Prozac, zoloft, paxil, effexor.

You name it, I have tried it.

There's never been anything

that's worked like this for me.

Why are you doing

this to me, Doctor?

It's for your own safety,

Harry, and I like I...

Why! Why!

That's why.

We've had some episodes of rage and confusion

from some of our other test subjects.

The medication's

just not ready, Harry.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

I don't know what got into me.

We'll keep in touch. I promise I won't

abandon you. You can call me anytime.
