There's nothing that we really can't explain.
What about death?
[pause]
It is the breakdown of biological functions that support life.
See, you throw science at things that should be emotional.
We process the world differently from most people. It's all it is. And truthfully, I know exactly what's going on with Megan.
There is a process to life that ends in unknown.
[pushes intercom button] Toby?
What?
Can you explain Megan's condition as it stands?
She has a bacterial infection in her lungs. Pneumonia.
Why's that?
She has scarred, damaged lungs.
Why?
She's inhaled small amounts of food and saliva that over time have damaged her lungs.
Mmm hmm. Why is that happening?
Um, she can't swallow very well because of the MS.
Explain.
The MS damaged some nerves in her brain, probably her medula.
How come?
Her own immune system attacked the myelin sheaths around the nerves.
Thank you, Toby. [turns off intercom] You see, we know everything we need to know
[turns on intercom] Toby, why is her own body attacking her nerves?
You know, we don't know.
