Jason: Thyroid, diabetes, cancer?

Vivian: No- cancer, yes.

Jason: When?

Vivian: Now. (Wit 24)

Vivian: This is much easier. I just hold still and look cancerous. It requires less acting every time. (Wit 37)

Don’t think too much, or you might just drive yourself insane!
“Vivian: So. The young doctor, like the senior scholar, prefers research to humanity. At the same time the senior scholar, in her pathetic state as a simpering victim, wishes the young doctor would take more interest in personal contact.
Now I suppose we shall see, through a series of flashbacks, how the senior scholar ruthlessly denied her simpering students the touch of human kindness she now seeks” (Edson 47-8).

"I have been asked 'How are you feeling today?' while I was throwing up into a plastic washbasin. I have been asked as I was emerging from as four hour operation with a tube in every orfice, 'How are you feeling today?'
I am waiting for the moment when someone asks me this question and I am dead. I'm a little sorry I'll miss that." (Edson 5)

"VIVIAN: "It is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is soporific. The little bunnies in the picture are asleep! They're sleeping! Like you said, because of soporific!"
"The illustration bore out the meaning of the word, just as he had explained it. At the time, it seemed like magic."

"Susie: She's DNR! (She grabs him.)
Jason: (He pushes her away.) She's Research!
Susie: She's NO CODE!" (Edson 82).

"Nothing but a breath--a comma--separates life from life everlasting. It is very simple really. With the original punctuation restored, death is no longer something to act out on a stage, with exclamation points. It's a comma, a pause."

-From pages 14 and 15 of Margaret Edson's Wit

"Susie: You did... What you have to think about is your 'code status.' What you want them to do if your heart stops"

The antineoplastic will inevitably affect some healthy cells, including those lining the gastrointestinal track from the lips of the anus, and the hair follicles. We will of course be relying on your resolve to with stand some of the more pernicious side effects.


Antineoplastic. Anti; against. Neo: new. Plastic. To mold. Shaping. Antineoplastic. Against new shaping


Hair follicles my resolve.


“Pernicious” That doesn’t seem --- (W;T)
