“No. That’s what I’ve been accused of, believe it or not. Frontotemporal dementia? Uh, how dare you? And I’m not saying you, because I’ve been accused of having that. And how do you prove it by keeping me locked here, so that you can’t- I can’t see, look. I can’t go out. You have to have keys to open the door, to hit the elevator, to go downstairs. Keys! I’m telling you, this is like, this is like being in prison,” Williams replies.
