I'm sorry, I have no idea what you mean, b- but—please lie down! Your injuries are too serious!
But I gotta... [Her waving and his pain cow him though, and he settles back into the cushions with a sharp pant. Sweat beads at his brow and he runs a hand over his forehead. Then, perplexed, through his hair.
He looks alarmed a moment, patting until he finds his ears. Staring into the distance.]

No, it's okay—I'm just glad you're all right! ... I- I mean, that you didn't actually forget.
