Text

START: BEN: You haven’t been to work in a week. Your office said you were home sick. Why don’t you answer the phone? Does Dr. …. I can’t remember the new one’s name … know you’re like this? Ned, come on, talk to me. You always talk to me. Ned, goddamit, please answer me!
[... …]
END: BEN: I’m sorry. I have to get back to the office. I really am sorry. I have a meeting. Good luck in London. Maybe you’ll meet someone.
ALEXANDER: Are you saying loving a man is now okay?
BEN: Keep fighting. Keep on fighting. Don’t give up. The answers will present themselves. They really will. Fo both of us!
