Tamara Name?
Locke John Locke
Tamara Marital status, Mr. Locke?
Locke Uh, Single.
Tamara Girlfriend?
Locke No.
Tamara Are your parents living?
Locke I...I was raised in foster care. I never really knew my parents.
Tamara Have you ever considered seeking out your biological parents?
Locke Uhhh....I don't see how that's relevant?
Tamara It's relevant, Mr. Locke, because if the government's going to continue paying your disability insurance I have to figure out whether or not your condition has improved! So, how's your appetite?
Locke Fine.
So aren't these strange questions for medical benefits? I don't know, I think there odd, but if someone knows differently. How is seeking your bio parents relevant to healing from a kidney transplant. And wouldn't for receiving these benefits Locke would have told that it was his bio dad?

I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle!'
