right - ok, virgil - says here you went blind at one - before you developed a visual vocabulary. you have no sense of depth of field, no knowledge of space, shape, size or distance. basically your eyes work but your brain hasn't learned to process the information. you are mentallv blind. neurologists call this "visual agnosia".
better term. i'll make a note of that.
dammit
glasses, can never find 'em. mrs. fenster.
ok. alberto valvo "sight restoration after long term blindness" - blah-blah-blah. - ah here.  "one must die as a blind person to be born again as a sighted person. however it is the interim, the limbo- -between two worlds, one dead. the other powerless to be born - that is so terrible." there. you're in limbo.
what? - i'm anne bancroft all of a sudden? i'm a professor - i teach people, how to teach the blind how to become independent. there's no book on what you're going through - i'd like to help - but like the rest of things in life - it's up to you.
you want a lesson? right - here. what's this?
good. good. ok. what's this now?
good. good. but is it an apple or just a picture of an apple?
your eyesight can and will play tricks on you virgil. remember that. no matter what i could teach you - no matter what exercises i could give you - they'll still play tricks on you.
virgil - look - you have to learn to see - just like you learned to speak. only this is not like learning a new language - it's like learning language for the first time. perception - sight - life, is about experience - about reaching out and exploring the world for yourself. it's not enough to just see virgil -- -- we've got to look as well.
amy - last i checked - this isn't a game of parcheesi, it doesn't come with a set of rules.
you want me - i'm always here.
you want to join us.
virgil
i'll be done in a minute.
ok - i'm just about done here - i got a place for you - relax those eyes a bit.
you got to be kidding me son. you can say that - sitting here in these prime viewing seats. forget fixing your eyes - we're going to get your head examined.
didn't get what you expected did you?
virgil, let me explain something here. when you were blind - you dealt with things one at a time - sequentially right? a wall led to a door to a tree to a car. that's how you got to what you wanted - right. seeing people - for better or worse - deal with everything all at once - taking in the whole picture - which sometimes confuses the hell out of what they want. virgil, my advice after three beers - don't be afraid to take in the whole picture - just don't lose sight of what you want.
and what does she have to say
it's that important is it?
sometimes the detail doesn't matter.
aaron called me. he was worried. i've been trying to find you - amy's office told me you were here. it's bad?
obviously amy doesn't know.
you can't avoid this forever.
i thought it was loved and lost.
virgil invited me - wanted to show you off i think. the place is terrific - he's got every right to be proud.
shmooze away.
