A young man facing a terminal cancer diagnosis confronts his therapist about the clinical and hollow nature of her platitudes. He expresses his frustration with the 'Alienation Phase' and the perceived insincerity of those trying to comfort him while he faces his mortality.
ADAM: I’m just beginning to realize that I'm probably going to die.
KATHERINE: Did something happen? Did you get the MRI results back?
ADAM: No, but look at me, I'm not getting any better. I look in the mirror and it’s pretty obvious. Mitch died, Alan’s probably going to die, and so am I.
