about

“And do you remember your name now?” he asked.
At first, Bentham did not answer. Arnaud remained patient. He watched a blurred Bentham glance about himself, searching for some clue.
“Yes,” said Bentham finally. “Of course I do.”
“Will you please tell it to me?” asked Arnaud.
“Why do you need to know?”
Arnaud rubbed his eyes. Subject does not know own name, he
recorded.
“Will you please describe the room you're in?” he asked.
Instead, Bentham tried to sit up. The straps prevented him. Subject
unaware of surroundings, Arnaud noted. “Will you describe your room, please?” asked Arnaud again.
“I don't see the point,” said Bentham, his voice rising. “You're here. You're in it. You can see it just as well as I can.”
Arnaud leaned forward until his lips were nearly touching the microphone. “But that's just it, Bentham,” he said softly. “I'm not in the room with you at all.”
