AMY
I thought you were just processing your grief
In a really weird way
Or even worse, were just a giant asshole
BEN
Hey!
AMY
Annoying me with every word you say
It’s so good to know this
BEN
This is good?
AMY
Thank God we've got a diagnosis!
And oh, thank God, you’ve got brain damage!
BEN
What?
AMY
No, I’m not glad you’ve got brain damage
BEN
Good.
AMY
I’m glad to *know* you’ve got brain damage
BEN
Huh?
AMY
At least that’s something that we can manage
It's better than hearing:
NURSE #1
Your Dad’s just an asshole
AMY
Better than hearing:
NURSE #2
Your Dad’s a big jerk
AMY
Therapy, meds, and rehab
Are all tasks I can help with
AMY/NURSES
So let’s get to work!
And oh, thank God, you’ve got brain damage!
No, we’re not glad you’ve got brain damage
We’re glad to *know* you’ve got brain damage
At least that’s something that we can manage
AMY
And I know it's sad
But at least I’ll get my Dad
Back at some point, presumably...
Right? Is there a cure?
We should find out for sure
Before celebrating prematurely
In a different key
AMY/NURSES
And oh, thank God, your brain is broken!
No, we’re not glad your brain is broken
We’re glad to *know* that all a’ that jokin’
Is the result of your brain strokin’
AMY
Thank God you’re not just an asshole
NURSES
Thank God you’re not just insane
AMY/NURSES
You’re an asshole *seeming*
Insane *seeming*
Head trauma victim
With damage in his brain!
