Patrick. We got to do Patrick. The thing is, I think I'm--what do they call it--denial, in denial, Patrick. I swear, I'm sitting in the office and the door opens, and I think he's gonna walk in."
This is a line out of The Guys by Anne Nelson. One of the main characters, Nick, is distraught when it comes time for him to write the eulogy of his best friend. This shows how weak any man can be. In times of tragedy people are unable to accept matters, however this line shows that he is aware of reality, aware of what has happened; but he simply refuses to accept those facts. Everybody faces these moments in their lives. Everyone will be faced with more of these moments and we will be in a position of denial. This is a very human moment and a very emotional moment in the play. Personally I almost teared up reading this; my family has faced similair tragedy...so memories were brought up.
"No...That cannot be. She was just here--maybe 45 minutes ago--how could this of happened? She wasn't upset for any reason. Her car is still there, so how could she of done this?
