“The truth is that I do not know how to will the table to move, I do not know what I am supposed to be doing. For I can only will what I have to learned to do. If I can now move my arms at will, that is because I have learned to do so early in my childhood. However we learn the influence of our will from experience alone. And experience only teaches us how one event constantly follows another.” (Stops reading) That was from Ilham Dilman’s Love and Human separateness. A truly wonderful book if you are interested. A lot can be said for studying philosophy. It deepens the mind and tries to make sense of the world.
(Marryann starts to wake up, as she does so she starts to stretch her arms over her head and a smile comes upon her face. Her eye …show more content…
As he walks over Marryann starts to look at him in a sort of analyzing way. She seems to be searching for a face that she might remember but comes up blank.)
Marryann:(As Hugo sits down) Thank you very much. I hope this doesn’t seem awkward but, you remind me of someone. Your face is very familiar--very kind. Have we met before.
(Hugo simply looks at her and smiles. He hands her her glass of water and as if she had just received a surprise present she takes it)
Marryann: Oh lovely thank you very much, I was just about to ask if you could fetch me some water. That’s very thoughtful of you. What is your name dear?
Hugo:(As though he has heard this line a hundred times and have rehearse the response just as many time) My name is Hugo, Hugo Marco. And what’s you’re name?
Marryann: Oh my name is (She pauses and thinks for a moment) oh my this is embarrassing. I can’t seem to remember. I think is starts with an M, oh I really am so sorry.
Hugo: Marryann.
Marryann: Maybe, that does sound right. That seems quite strange that I can’t even remember my own name. (There is awkward pause, then Hugo takes Marryann’s hand in his and starts to massage it) Again reminded me of your …show more content…
Nurse: That’s impossible but, it’s a new symptom. Something not affecting her mind but...her body.
Hugo: What do you mean?!
Nurse: Two days ago the doctors did their weekly physical and well, we found something disturbing. We found in her left breast that a lump, about the size of child’s fist. We are screening it tomorrow but we fear it maybe something very bad. Are you aware of the effects of cancer?
Hugo: I am.
Nurse: We fear that, given the size and the age of Marryann, and the screens come back positive, that the Lord maybe calling her soon.
(Hugo whole body sinks. It as though his chest has been struck with a battering ram. He looks everywhere but in the nurse 's direction. His response is shaky and weak.)
Hugo: Thank you nurse, that should be all for now.
Nurse: Are you sure, would you like to talk about it in more detail?
Hugo: Yes but, not right now. Right now I simply want to be next to her.
Nurse: We will have one of the doctors speak with you once you finish with your visit. I’m so sorry Mr. Marco, please know we are doing everything in our care to help Marryann.
Hugo: Yes, yes, I’m sure. (He pauses) thank you. I will be finished
