He hasn't seen anybody, since they

brought him back.

Well, that's another reason,

I don't miss nursing.

It's always so sad, to see a patient like that...

all alone, after that kind of a surgery.

He's just quiet.

- Rachel called this morning.

- Oh, how's she doing?

She's auditioning for first violin,

in next semesters symphony.

That's wonderful.

- Need any more books?

- No. I'm... fine.

Got your medicine for tonight?

- Ah, I've already took'm.

- How about pillows?

I'm fine, Virginia, really, thank you.

You know, I could stay a while,

if you want me to.

No use, both of us being useless in the morning.

Alright?

Okay.

- She's gone?

- What?

I'm something of a public health expert.

I believe, more people die from visitors...

then diseases.

I take the Berrys for 600.

This Swedish Berry, is also known as the Cowberry.

- What are the Lincoln berry?

- What are the Lincoln berry?

- Right.

- I take the Berry's for 800.

In a top 40 hit in 1956, this Berry

told Beethoven to roll over.

- Who is Chuck Berry?

- Who is Chuck Berry?

- Yes

- Hey...

- look your wise?

- Oh... sorry.

What is the Merida Trench?

- Good morning, Edward.

- Morning.

How's it going?

- Dumb question.

- How's that cap doing?

Didn't know what I ever did without it.

- Humor is a good sign.

- Kiss my ass.

A little surliness, it's one of your

favorite prayers, right?

- Yea...

- Let's see what we got here?

Oh, looks good...

alright, so the operation went well.

Okay...

All the current brain scans are clean.

So, now we go to the Schercoma,

for the rest of your body.

Unfortunately your blood markers

are extremely high.

So, I would like to begin first round

of chemo, this morning.

I love the smell of chemo, In the morning.

A though little smell, right?

It makes me feel like victory.

- I'll check with you later.

- Alright.

- Hey Doc... Doc, you think you could just

take a look at...

I'm sorry, I'm running late...

who's your doctor?

- Doctor Given.

- I'll tell him.

Thank you!

A b*tch, ain't it?

What are Quarts?

How long you've been here?

Well, in and out over the past few months.

They've got me on a experimental treatment.

What is a Quadratic Equation?

How rough is it?

Chemo?

Not too bad, if you don't mind,

around the clock vomiting

Watching your veins turn black.

And feeling like, your bones are made of napalm.

- A day at the beach.

- That's a relieve.

All sorts of people, react to it differently.

You'll know by tonight.

Tonight?

Listen, huh... you don't mind my asking.

What is that contraption you've got over there?

It's a Craftier, it makes coffee...

What else does it do?

What else does it have to do?
