Flowers for Algernon Syndrome/Quotes

"Simon: How do you feel now?

River: Going. Going back like apple bits, coming back up. Chaos.

Simon: But you felt okay this morning?

River: [Smiles] Played with Kaylee. The sun came out, and I walked on my feet, and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits that stays down. And I work, I functions like I'm a girl. I hate it, because I know it'll go away. The sun grows dark and chaos has come again. Bits...fluid... what am I?!

Simon: [caressess her] You are my beautiful sister.

River:... I threw up on your bed.

Simon: [beat] Yep... definitely my sister."
