[Araz] Oh! This is "meymun."

We call them "monkey" in Farsi.

Monkey?

No, they're snapdragons.

What about these?

[J] Oh. These are delphiniums.

[Araz] Delphinium?

[speaking Farsi]

[Araz] Never heard this one.

Which one is your favorite?

It's hard to say.

I think four o'clocks

are special.

Four o'clock?

[typing]

[J] Mitsu.

[Araz exclaiming]

[speaking Farsi]

These are the bonsais. Nice.

They're a good gift, no?

[J] Yeah.

[Araz] Lauren said

maybe we can take...

one of these to my aunt's

dinner party tonight?

[J] Sure.

Choose one.

Maybe...

maybe...

this one?

- [Araz] Are you sure?

- [J] Mm-hmm.

Merci.

- [knock on door]

- [Araz] Lauren, are you in here?

[Lauren] Yeah. Come in.

[Araz] How did the interview go?

[Lauren] Good. They offered me

a space in, maybe three months.

I have to accept it by tomorrow their time.

Tonight, here.

[sighing] I don't know.

[Araz] Why? I thought this residency's

perfect for your work, no?

[Lauren] Mm.

Maybe it's time to

stop moving around.

[Araz] Are you

going to practice?

'Cause J wants to see this.

Should I get her?

I mean, them.

[Lauren] Yeah, sure.

Can you help?

[Lauren whispering] "27-year-old..."

"Visual hallucinations."

[knock on door]

Yes.

Great. So, what

brings you here today?

I've been seeing

strange writing on the wall.

When did it start?

Two days ago.

May I ask what is the content...

Content of the writing?

I don't know. I can't read it.

Uh, so you see a writing,

but you don't know what it says?

[chuckles] What language was it?

It's English,

but I can't tell what it says.

And how long

does it stay on the wall?

Two seconds.

How constant?

Comes and goes.

[Araz] How often?

[Lauren] Four or

five times since yesterday.

[Araz] Do you see them

with your eyes closed?

Do you see them

with your eyes open?

Now?

Now?

No, I'm not seeing them now.

Ex...

Alleviating factors, no.

[Araz] Any change

in your vision?

[Lauren] No.

[Araz] And your hearing?

the content of the voices?

[Lauren] It's unclear. Distant.

mental illness in your family?
