Brain on Fire Page #2

And you're not a cub-reporter anymore.

Hey, hey, back here.

All I want you to do is fill the paper.

It's online. You got it?

- Got it.

- Okay, good. What do you have for me?

Status online with social media.

Yep, sounds awful. Our

editors will love this.

You'll have it Thursday night.

I know I will cause I can always

count on you, Susannah Cahalan.

Now get the hell out of my office.

- I know what you did.

- Was I know?

You know exactly what you did.

- Thank you.

- You deserve it.

I just had a loud mouth.

- Do I need a sneeze guard?

- I'm good. I'm good.

Anyway, what are you on right now?

I'm on the bed-bug outbreak

and it is so disturbing.

- Yuck.

- What are you on?

Um.. status on the internet.

- Look at us with these hard-hitting stories.

- Yeah, they're intense, huh?

Edward R. Murrow is just

turning in his grave.

Hey, come on! What are you doing?!

Wake up!

Hey Susannah, where are you?

I haven't seen you for a few days.

Just check in to see if you're okay.

Hey, Margo?

What do you know about the

look of the bed-bug bite?

Do you think that you have theme?

Because they're everywhere.

They're hunting my dreams.

Look. Is that look like one to you?

I don't know what I'm looking.

No, I don't see anything.

You, you don't see that?

- I see nothing.

- Okay, hold on.

Look, just look. Closely.

- Do you not see that?

- I do not see that.

I don't. I don't know what

you're talking about.

Margo, it's right there.

I see you need a tan.

- Come on, you don't.. You can't see?

- Susannah!

What is this sh*t?

You got names out of misspelled.

You're not even source to fact-check.

What the hell are you thinking?

Legal would have it fit!

You said that it would be done

by Thursday! It is a Monday!

Um..

Right, it's Monday.

Richard, Richard, I'm...

I'm sorry.

I haven't feeling myself lately.

I've been really unwell.

I haven't.. I haven't been sleeping.

I'm.. Um..

Go to your desk and rewrite, okay?

Watch your spell, watch your grammar.

Tonight. Cause this

sh*t is unreadable.

Even if you weren't feeling well, I didn't

even think you could do something this bad.

Now go to your desk and get it done.

Get out of here. Go.

And she's still here. She

heard I said, leave.

Hey!

Get your ass out of my office.

Even if you weren't feeling well, I didn't

even think you could do something this bad.

Are you okay?

Susannah, where are yout?

You are very, very late.

You're gonna get your ass in here.

You're gonna miss the 10:00 meeting.

Hello.

Susannah, I'm really pissed right now.

You're gonna miss the 10:00 meeting and

I don't wanna be doing this, okay?

I'm not your mother. Get your sh*t

together and come to your job!
