Program Transcript
LOUISE: Reggie, it’s Louise. I’m here to check on you and get you to your AA meeting.
Are you ready?
REGGIE: I don’t want to go there. They all want to hurt me. That’s what they are saying
to me.
WHISPERING VOICES: They’re all against you.
REGGIE: You’re against me. You all want to lock me up.
LOUISE: Reggie, let’s talk. I would like for you to come outside and sit on the porch. We
will leave the door open, so you can go back inside if you need to.
REGGIE: I’ll talk, but not about taking those God awful meds. I’m handling it myself.
LOUISE: How are you handling it?
REGGIE: This is the only thing that helps.
