"Hey, you're awake!"
"Where am I?"
"You hit your head. There was so much blood that I got scared."
"Don't try to get up. You're safe here."
"I hate this place..."
"How could you do this to yourself?"
"The world didn't give me a choice, and now, I'm suffering even more!"
"You really came..."
"I told you I would be here when you woke up."
"How many tests did they do on you?"
"If I wasn't drugged up, I could tell you the names of every test they do in this place."
"When are they going to let you leave?"
"They said that I'll be here for a few days. Maybe a week."
"What happened to you? You have so many things sticking out of you."
"That's what happens when you're dying."
"It's probably time to change those bandages..."
"You aren't in pain, are you?"
"You were in an accident. You almost didn't make it."
"That would explain why I feel terrible."
"I thought you were dead..."
"I'm not dead, am I?"
"I didn't know it was this bad..."
"I may not live much longer..."
"I'm dying..."
"You can't die! There has to be something they can do!"
"I'm too far gone for any surgery to fix me."
"I want you to know that I'll miss you most."
"Don't say that! I don't like it when you talk like this..."
"I just want it to happen so I don't have to think about it all the time."
"I wanted to say goodbye to you one more time."
"If you don't get some sleep, I'm going to hit this button and tell a nurse you're bothering me."
"Don't abuse that call button!"
"You know that button only works every five seconds, right?"
"Maybe if I push it hard enough, more will come out."
"I get to come home today."
"Did you fill out the release forms yet?"
"They hooked me up with a bunch of prescriptions. I'm gonna be high as a kite."
