Alan
[Adam is receiving his first session of chemotherapy. One of the other patients offers him a tin]

Want a macaroon?

Oh, thanks. I’m alright.

Alan
[leans forward and whispers]

There’s weed in ‘em.

Oh, yeah, thank you, but I - I don’t do weed.

Alan

C’mon, man. Just get high with us!

Okay. Thanks.

[He takes a macaroon and eats it]

How old are you?

Twenty-seven.

Alan

That’s just the worst. A perfectly good youth wasted.

Alan, stop it. Don’t listen to him, he's just messing with you.

Alan

Listen to me, this cancer is bullshit. First your hair’s going to fall out, then your balls’ll shrink. And if that isn’t enough, your dick becomes a constant source of disappointment.

[Alan and Mitch laugh]

I got to tell you, I was really nervous about this whole cancer thing, and then I met you guys, and boy do I feel better.

So you want to drive, right now?

Alan

Yeah.

You sure that's what you want to do?

That's your make-a-wish? To drive?

Alan

I’m Alan Lombardo: stage 3 lymphoma. Pleased to meet you.

Mitch Barnett, metastatic prostate cancer.

Oh, I’m Adam Lerner, schwannoma neurofibrosarcoma.

Alan

Whoa, what the **** is that?

Tough break. The more syllables, the worse it is.
