"Okay.... Terrence. Why are you at my door?" "OH! Right-- I need a physical." "I'm under company order to /not/ provide you physicals, you go to Specialist Care for tha--" "I need this one done under the table." "...." "WOW That sounds bad, huh?-- I mean to say uhm-- I need this off record. I need you to do it, because you're not my usual doctor-- so..." "Why?" "Well-- I'm about to take up some uhm-- extra curricular work." "Extra curricular work?" "Mhm! I'm uhm.... I'm going to the banlands to look for uhm... Astor." "Astor?" "Mhm!" "Astor James Crawley?" "Yup, that's his name!" "The intern you relentlessly bullied for years--" "We get the picture, Hector." "We?" "Old habits-- sorry, Physical, yes?" "....//sigh//" "What?" "Terrence-- You're lucky I'm letting you so much as step FOOT in the medical bay, let alone my OFFICE." "...." "Come in. Close the door." "Sure." "....I spent years, running tests on them, poking and prodding them, listening to them break down, to them weep, to how this illness you and the board denied treatment for-- shattered him." "......" "His own mother and father-- they didn't want to hold him. I had too. I had to while he cried, while he grew sicker, while he decayed-- all until you ripped him away from m--" "Till you decided he was of use again...." "....." "You are so fucking lucky I let you in here, Terrence. If not for my own curiosity-- as to HOW he ended up there, and just WHAT you want with him-- that you need him back here so badly?" "....Because he was happy, and I was.... I was wrong. I... I woke up. From a long and horrible dream and-- and I realized I was wrong. And-- and it was just-- just a little too late. But- but I want to set things right. I want to make things right. He deserves what he found down there. Family, friends, love... and-- and I took that from him." "And you're going to give it back to him?" "No." "What then? If you aren't playing fucking savior." "I-I'm-- I'm going down there-- and I'm going to help him. However he needs." "What makes you think he'd want help from the man who started him on this path in the first place." "Because-- Because I know him. I've seen what he's done-- I know what he believes in-- I know he'd--" "Be willing to give you a second chance? GOD You are still so full of yourself! You're not going down there for him at all, are you?" "I am." "You're going down there to save yourself. Be honest with me, Howe." "I'm going down there for him--"
" ¿Por qué tienes un agujero en el pecho? " "Uhh- I don't know where to sta--" " En español, por favor. La oficina de Evans está pegada a esta. Baja la voz también." " Esto no es lo más fácil de explicar. Pero, por darle una oportunidad, supongo… " " He sido la marioneta de un.... pulpo gigante durante la última década, más o menos, y hace apenas dos dÃas... uhm... simplemente me abandonó en el suelo de la sala de comunicaciones. " "....." " ¿Lo dije bien? ¿Tuvo sentido? " "....." "Click?" "Yes-- I--" "Sit down. I'll-- let me see if there's an EKG available." " Fucking Hell... "
