:47:03
steadfast.
:47:05
Resolute.
:47:08
Some would say in the extreme.
:47:13
Now, as you can see, I am...
:47:16
distinguishing myself in illness.
:47:22
I have survived eight treatments...
:47:25
of Hexamethophosphacil and Vinplatin...
:47:28
at the full dose, ladies and gentlemen.
:47:33
I have broken the record.
:47:38
I have become something of a celebrity.
:47:43
Kelekian and Jason are simply delighted.
:47:49
I think...
:47:51
they see celebrity status for themselves...
:47:55
upon the appearance
of the journal article...
:47:57
they will no doubt write about me.
:48:03
But I flatter myself.
:48:06
The article will not be about me...
:48:09
it will be about my ovaries. It will...
:48:12
be about my peritoneal cavity.
:48:17
Which, despite their best intentions,
is now crawling with cancer.
:48:25
What we have come to think of as me...
:48:29
is, in fact, just the specimen jar.
:48:34
Just the dust jacket.
:48:37
Just the white piece of paper...
:48:39
that bears the little black marks.
:48:48
My next line is supposed to be
something like this:
:48:53
"It is such a relief...
:48:54
"to get back to my room
after those infernal tests."
