You already know.
In Edit God, we trust.
Mrs. Bowers, can you hear me?
If you can hear me, Mrs. Bowers, squeeze my hand.
Dr. Williams!
I'll hook you up to these monitors.
Sit up for me.
Who is Nessa?
Vanessa, oh, that's your best friend.
She comes to visit you a couple days
during the week and help take care of you.
She brush your hair and then she tell you
about whatever's going on.
She tell you so much good stuff,
I wish I was y'all best friend.
I don't remember her.
Well, some patients with brain injuries
have what they call post-traumatic amnesia.
Give it some time. I'm sure it'll come back to you.
Okay?
I missed you so much.
How you doing, kiddo?
I'm tired.
You're Nessa?
I talked to Dr. Williams.
I know it's a lot to understand right now,
but we're gonna work through it.
He said that your brain was reset.
It's a lot I gotta get you back familiar with,
but let's not put too much on you so soon.
Okay?
I don't remember you.
- That's okay, kiddo, that's why I'm here now.
Maybe this will help you out.
They're your favorite,
double fudge brownies from London's on Madison.
Here.
Good, right?
I can't taste anything.
Trust me, it's, it's good.
- Hello, hello. - Hey, Dr. Williams.
How are we today?
We're doing better.
Well, it's good that you're here.
You need to hear this since you'll be taking care of her.
In the beginning, you'll process things a little slower,
but with time and rehab, everything should come back.
You've endured a traumatic brain injury
that sometimes causes short-term memory loss.
Some things you'll remember, some things you'll forget.
But the good thing is you got your life back.
So I left the canvas blank
so you can create your own style,
Whatever that is,
Well, that's okay.
You change your style quite often anyway.
Oh, I left a few things in the fridge.
I wasn't sure if you remember how to cook
or if you even like the things that you used to eat.
I cooked?
If I say yes, I'd be lying,
but (snorts) somebody ate it.
Look at it like this.
Now you got the time to learn.
You know me, I love that type of shit.
Don't worry about a thing, kiddo.
Don't worry about the bills or the rent.
I paid it up for a year.
I need you to get better.
I've been doing some reading
and I know that you're gonna need some time to yourself.
So I grabbed you a few things to help, you know, pass time.
One second.
Okay, I couldn't forget this.
And this.
Open it.
A flower?
- It's a toy. - A sex toy?
Look, you can forget everything else,
but never forget your pussy. (laughs)
And lastly, this is my debit card
in case you need to order something to eat.
I'll be back to check on you later.
You got this, kiddo.
Oh, I'm sorry!
I didn't know this unit was occupied.
I'm here to do the final inspection.
Well, it looks like you're too late now.
Well, I suppose so, well, you know,
I've been on vacation for a couple of weeks
and I came back and there was a work order on my desk.
It said something about a closet being off track.
- Well, I don't know anything about a closet,
but I do know that you're too late.
Okay, duly noted.
Excuse me, excuse me.
Look, look, I don't know you.
I understand, I understand, I'm Bob.
You know I do the maintenance around here.
All right, hey, you know I don't know why these nincompoops
have a hard time communicating around here.
- It's fine, now you know somebody lives there, okay?
- Okay, I got a couple pieces of mail for you.
Can you put it in the mailbox outside?
- Ah, well, unfortunately I don't have the key
to the mailbox, but you know, I can take it
to the office if you want me to.
Just do whatever you need to do.
But I need to get to where I'm going, okay?
- Okay, okay, and by the way, the name's Bob.
Yeah.
All right.
Hey, your total is 25.09.
I'm sorry, can I see your ID, please?
I don't have my ID with me.
- I'm sorry, I can't let you purchase alcohol
without your ID, ma'am.
- Ah, please, please, I'm going through a really rough day.
Can you just please just, just ring it up
without my ID, I'm over 21.
- Don't worry about it, I'll pay for it, I'm old enough.
- Thank you. - You are welcome, no problem.
Everything all right?
Yes, indeed, can I help you with anything?
Now, you know, if you need anything around here,
you can call me, I'm Bob, I'm the maintenance man.
I got everything under control around here
in this building right here.
Good morning, sunshine.
Who's the creep?
An extra friendly maintenance man.
You know, yesterday, he tried
to just unlock my door and walk in.
I know you fucking lying.
I wish I was.
Figured I'd stop by.
Get you some fresh air, maybe a little shopping.
What do you think?
Ah...
- Dr. Williams said we gotta get you out the house.
We can't have you in here all day, all by yourself.
Get your shit on and let's go.
I went out yesterday.
- Best friend, I'm not taking no for an answer.
How you feeling, kiddo?
My head hurts and I'm kind of clumsy.
Anything come back to you yet?
No, not really.
You know, I got a friend who specializes
in mental health, especially for us.
I go to him as needed and he's helped me work
through some rough times.
I was going more when you weren't here,
but now that you're back, I may not need to go as much,
which means it might be an open slot for you.
Because, now that you back,
you can resume being my therapist. (laughs)
You got all day to listen to my shit.
Did I like listening to your shit?
Girl, what, you love that shit.
Why do I feel like you're lying to me?
- It might be a good fit and he knows all about you.
He would never say that due
to patient confidentiality thing, but yeah.
Probably knows more about me than I do.
There's some things I need to figure out.
Get comfortable.
My apologies for my tardiness.
You're the guy from the store.
See your memory's serving you well.
Not well enough.
How so?
