The Music Never Stopped
(0.00 / 0 votes)Fairy tales can come true
It can happen to you
if you're young at heart
For it's hard, you will find
to be narrow of mind
if you're young
Henry?
At heart
Henry.
You can go to extremes...
What?
Don't you hear
the phone ringing?
With impossible dreams
No.
You can laugh when your dreams
fall apart at the seams
Hello.
Yes, is this Helen Sawyer?
And if you should survive
Are you sure it's him?
I'm very sorry.
He's at the hospital...
out of being ali...
We're here to see
Gabriel Sawyer.
She can take you back.
This way.
He's right here.
Oh, God.
a midline tumor,
extending on both sides
into the frontal lobes.
It also reaches backward
to the temporal lobes
and downward
to the forebrain here.
So the tumor is
in this area here?
No, Mr. Sawyer,
that is the tumor.
It appears to be benign,
but it went unchecked
for so long,
we won't be able to tell
what kind of permanent damage
has been done
until after we operate.
How are you doing
this morning?
I'm gonna ask you
some questions,
and I want you to tell me
the answers, okay?
Okey-dokey.
What's your name?
Gabriel.
Okay, good.
What year were you born, Gabriel?
Fine.
And what year is it now?
All right, now, Gabriel, can you count
from 1 to 10 out loud for me?
Oount me out.
I'll start you.
Buckle my shoe.
He seemed to be
fooling around with you.
That's a good sign, isn't it?
That's not really fooling around.
Part of Gabriel's brain
which controls inhibition
has been destroyed,
so he reacts incontinently
It's like it's not even him.
When was the last time
you saw him?
He, uh... he left home...
several years ago.
Nearly 20.
No, I don't think so.
From the way he looks,
he was on the streets for some time.
Oh, God.
And unfortunately,
though slow-growing,
the tumor also
destroyed structures
of the medial side
of both the temporal lobes,
in particular what is
called the hippocampus,
and these are the areas of the brain
we use to form new memories,
like what I'm telling you now,
new information.
Mr. And Mrs. Sawyer, even if Gabriel
makes a full recovery,
his memory has been damaged.
Gabriel's long-term memory
stops at a certain point,
and even if he regains
some cognitive function,
like perception
of his surroundings,
it's likely that it will be
inconsistent and intermittent.
Henry Sawyer.
Oan it wait till tomorrow?
I'm on my way to the hospital.
Okay, be right there.
How's Gabe?
Oh, you know, hard to tell.
We're moving him
to a permanent-care place.
It's, uh, closer to home.
Thanks for asking.
Henry, I can only imagine
what you're going through.
Actually, I can't even.
I don't know how you could possibly
concentrate on anything.
Oh, it helps me to work,
Mike, to be here.
Yeah. I get that.
But let's be candid, Henry.
At the moment, when you're here,
you're not really here,
and we're dealing
with harsh realities on our end.
You're a fine mechanical
engineer, Henry,
but we're getting into
We need computer coding skills,
ASIOs chip programming,
you need Fortran, things like that.
Are you firing me?
Henry, you've got
a year and half of sick days,
and you've got your full pension.
Do yourself a favor.
Take the time.
Be with your family.
There were bells on the hill
but I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all...
Okay, ready for inspection?
Okay.
- Pencils?
- Oheck.
- Notebook?
- Oheck.
Robin Hood lunchbox?
Roger that.
You know what song this is?
Till There was You.
