also a pain killer,
but...you wanna be really
careful with that one.
Pain killer? Pain killer good.

I take away things.
Pill for sick friend.
Okay, I finish now.
Bathroom clean.
Well, whatever's wrong
with your friend,
I can see that you have a really,
really bad prosthetic foot
and I'm sure it's causing you
pain in your right hip and knee,
probably your other knee,
your lower-back.
How you know this thing?
You doctor?
Occupational therapist.
Wait a minute.
I-I know you.
You're the--oh, my God.
You're that woman from
the dissident.

Paul,
you're full of surprises.
You can do this but you work
sh*t job answering phones?
Well, when I moved down here,
I didn't think I'd be working
so I let my license expire and...
now, I'd have to get it
in a whole 'nother state.
It's a whole...it's a boring story.
I hate to say it, but...
if you don't do
something pretty soon,
you're gonna need a new knee.
Maybe even a new hip.
You gotta go to a specialist
as soon as you can
a-and get a whole new foot.
In the meantime,
I could make some adjustments
on the existing prosthetic.
And maybe give you some
pointers on how to walk better.
I just hate to see you
needlessly suffer
after all you've been through.
Okay. I finish work
