Please try to stay positive, I brought you some books.

Thank you...

(The Nurse Puts the books on the bed and walks away. Before she leaves the stage, she turns around to look at The Patient before exiting through Right Stage)

I doubt I will ever know who I was before. Who I was at school, who I was at home, and who I was in front of my girlfriend. I have to decide which one was real.
