When the patient began speaking, Robert continued, he sounded unlike any person I have ever met before. Sure, his actions signaled that he was crazy, but his presence… Jessica, his presence was like what I imagine it would be to be close to a holy person or a spiritual master. I mean, that is really the only conclusion I can come to. And the holy guy tried to kill himself? Come on Robert. That just sounds ridiculous. Gudjon Bergmann
About This Quote

Robert, the schizophrenic man who began speaking to Jessica after she gave him her last cigarette, did not seem like a violent person. He seemed normal, in fact. He did his job well and he laughed at things that other people found funny. He was polite and respectful to others.

However, when Robert started using Jessica's last cigarette to commit suicide, it was clear that he was not in control of his actions. Robert was clearly suicidal and it seemed clear that Jessica had given him her last cigarette so he could die in peace.
