Script[]
In a Psychiatry | |
Psychiatrist | (writing on a note pad) It's clear to me that although you are surrounded by people, you feel isolated. |
Pan out, revealing X-017 lying on a crushed couch. | |
Psychiatrist | Let's put you in a situation where real human contact is inevitable, even mandatory! Try volunteering. Say, at a homeless or, better yet, a retirement home. |
Cut to Summer Oaks Assisted Living. A member of staff stands in front of a notice board speaking to volunteers. | |
Staff Member | ...and that's pretty much it. Just some conversation and comfort goes a long way. |
Close-up of a list on the notice board. | |
Staff Member | Okay, I think we're ready! You've each been assigned a resident. Just check the list and if you have any questions or concerns, I'm right here. |
The staff member walks away as the volunteers look at the notice board.
X-017 looks at the notice board. The volunteers start helping the elderly as X-017 stands on his own. An elderly man in a wheelchair looks up at X-017. | |
Old Man | Just a washing machine. Humphf. |
Back to the Psychiatry. X-017 is lying down on the crushed couch again. | |
Psychiatrist | Well, he's completely off-base. You're clearly more of a refrigerator. |
