- Dr. Evers: So, Pete, I'm about to get real serious with you for a minute. The propatol, is great, it keeps you living at home, it keeps your worst symptoms away and the side effects for the most part have been a- an acceptable trade off, so far.
- Pete: So far?
- Dr. Evers: well, some of the outlier patients who started taking propatol, before you, are getting increased damage to their intestines and liver because of the drug.
- [pause]
- Dr. Evers: It's, um, worse than we thought.
- Pete: Oh, Christ.
- Dr. Evers: So, what I'm telling you is that we will not be able to keep renewing the prescription. That's the bottom line.
- Pete: Oh, Jesus...
- Dr. Evers: Yeah. Yeah, I know, it sucks.
- Pete: Jesus Christ...
- Dr. Evers: I'm sorry, I just wanted to let you know what was going on.
- Horace: Wait, wait, wait. Wait, so what happens?
- Dr. Evers: Well, Pete's got enough propatol to get him through to next month... and, um- after that...
- Horace: After?
- Dr. Evers: We will...
- Horace: after that, what exactly?
- Dr. Evers: We will, uh, we'll need to re- readmit him.
- Pete: [Pete begins to weep]
- Dr. Evers: Pete? OK. Pete, man, you should know that there people trying to sort out many solutions, for you, OK? We're gonna try and keep you in the world, alright?
- Pete: It's fucking Easter coming up, too.
