:28:00
You just call.
:28:39
Do not forget...
:28:40
that you are seeing
the most interesting aspects...
:28:43
of my tenure as an in-patient
receiving experimental chemotherapy...
:28:48
for advanced metastatic ovarian cancer.
:28:52
But as I am a scholar I feel obliged...
:28:56
to document what it is like here
most of the time...
:28:59
between the dramatic climaxes.
:29:03
In truth, it is like this:
:29:08
You cannot imagine...
:29:10
how time can be so still.
:29:15
It hangs.
:29:18
It weighs.
:29:21
And yet there is so little of it.
:29:24
It goes so slowly.
:29:27
And yet it is so scarce.
:29:32
If I were writing this scene
it would last a full 15 minutes.
:29:36
I would lie here and you would sit there.
:29:44
Not to worry:
:29:47
"Brevity is the soul of wit."
:29:52
But...
:29:53
if you think eight months of cancer
treatment is tedious for all of you...
:29:58
consider how it feels to play my part.
