I know what you're gonna say. I should not have lied to Joanna. It was wrong. She's just a desperate, troubled woman, not a psychopath.
I agree.
She's not, but am I? Am I a psychopath?
What?
Look how easily I lied to her, how I coldly manipulated her.
In this context, that's hardly an indication of psychopathy.
Well, how about my life? Would you say that I'm able to form lasting relationships? I mean, I have no real friends, no significant romantic attachments. I think I have emotions, but maybe they aren't real. Maybe they're just imitative.
You just told me that you felt guilty about lying to a patient, which means that you have a conscience, which means that you're not a psychopath.
Whatever you wanna call it, I am my father's daughter.
Well... well, you're also my resident, and I find you to be a... a deeply compassionate person, who's capable of great empathy. I just never would've roped you into this whole psychiatry thing if I wasn't entirely convinced of that.
