Six Feet Under Quote

[Billy and George are talking on the porch. Billy is sneaking a beer.]
George: So, you stopped taking them? Just like that?
Billy: Yep.
George: How do you feel?
Billy: I feel a little tingly. That's about it. What do they got you on these days?
George: Well, they just switched me from Lithium to Tophranil.
Billy: Oh.
George: In between the shock treatments.
Billy: What are those like?
George: Honestly, I don't know. I go in. They put me on a bed. They give me some oxygen. They say "You're going to feel a little prick in your hand." That always makes me laugh. And then the next thing I know, I wake up with the worst headache I've had in my life.
Billy: You think it's helping?
George: I think that, as Émile Coué used to say, "Every day, in every way, I'm getting better and better." But not everyone agrees.
Billy: Yeah. It's hard to get your shit together with someone watching all the time.
George: Hm, yeah, it is. But when no one is watching, then where are you? Where the fuck are you then?
