PSYCHIATRIST: So, you've notes about your treasures to make sense of memory.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: My short-term continuous memory-loss inspires reflections!

PSYCHIATRIST: You don't stay in one place but hop hotel-to-hotel with money.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: I know I've $15M on Wall-St., 2009 mini-crash (Ford), doc!

PSYCHIATRIST: You wrote that in your journal so you know, friend?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: You said it...I'll write it down (Selfie-like).

PSYCHIATRIST: This fascination with aliens and heroes and terrorists, friend?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: According to my note, I found some interest in envy-studies.

PSYCHIATRIST: Envy, friend?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: According to my note, I challenged my rival in billiards.

PSYCHIATRIST: So, your rival and you shared envy; you won; you got comic art.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: Maybe I'm piecing together the pieces of the mind's Hell.

PSYCHIATRIST: Sometimes the best view of heaven is from hell (cinema).

MR. AMLAN SATAN: Damn, I think to get Alien: Resurrection (Netflix) Saturday.

PSYCHIATRIST: Facebook-like!

PSYCHIATRIST: A gas station pencil/color doodle for memory?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: Something about my memory of Royal Farms personnel.

PSYCHIATRIST: Senses of fortune or investment or place (Selfie-like).

MR. AMLAN SATAN: Capitalism...petrol-politics...nation envy (maybe!).

PSYCHIATRIST: Did you make this after your billiards victory with that rival?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: I can't remember...but that's a good question (thanx).

PSYCHIATRIST: Maybe you're becoming a super hero, Mr. Amlan Satan.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: I found this painting to compare (art's sake).

PSYCHIATRIST: Good...a beautiful mind.

PSYCHIATRIST: It's quite a thing to be a pool-shark...but you're a hustler?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: I'm quite a good investor (or was), doc.

PSYCHIATRIST: Tell me about that game, the table, the hall, what you remember.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: I wrote down, "He's John G...and I knew I wanted this win."

PSYCHIATRIST: Perhaps more than rivalry...revenge...retribution, friend.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: I found this painting to compare with my gas-station doodle.

PSYCHIATRIST: Life's a game, really (at least sometimes)...memory's sake.

PSYCHIATRIST: Why the Inn-Express for your rivalry story of billiards memory?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: Doc, I was watching football in the TV-lounge on a Sunday.

PSYCHIATRIST: You wrote it down on a note...so as not to forget.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: Short-term continuous amnesia's a stifling condition, doc.

PSYCHIATRIST: Sure.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: For a dark Earth you imagine, hostel-comfort's a breeze!

PSYCHIATRIST: Facebook-like (ok).

PSYCHIATRIST: Tell me about this painting you found in your hostel/hotel room?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: Maybe I stole it (didn't write it down!).

PSYCHIATRIST: You think you got it in commemoration of your billiards-win?

MR. AMLAN SATAN: Or stole it to forget some Hell (ha).

PSYCHIATRIST: Absence of field goals can cast shadows of a dark city, friend.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: Facebook-like?
