Dr. Cruz and Chuck in “Unfinished Business”

Let's talk about the night you first called me. You sounded very distressed.

Chuck

I was.

Using a telephone must've been difficult for you.

Chuck

I had to walk ten blocks to a payphone. That was extremely uncomfortable - probably almost a nine.

What made it so important to talk to me that night?

Chuck

...I'd had an incident. A very... public incident, perhaps the worst experience of my life. It was proven to me in public, and beyond the shadow of a doubt, that there was a battery—a fully charged battery—almost next to my skin for the better part of two hours... and I felt nothing.

What does that mean to you?

Chuck

This condition... to me, it's as real as that chair, it's as real as this house, it's as real as you. But... what if it's not? What if it's all in my head? And if that's true, if it's not real... then what have I done?
