ACT II, SCENE IV
[An alleyway.]
WOMAN: Look behind my ear.
MAN: Why?
WOMAN: Just look behind my ear, okay? [She pushes her hair out of the way and tilts her head to provide visual access. He looks.]
MAN: There's a bump.
WOMAN: What kind of bump?
MAN: I don't know. A bump. A flesh bump. It's not a goose bump, or speed bump.
WOMAN: It itches. Does it look like it's filled with pus?
MAN: I don't know, let me look again. [He looks again.] No, no pus. But I can see into your brain and it's a mess.
