"But if it dies, you might as well fill one of your syringes right there and then put yourself into sleep."
Madelene's best friend and companion (The Ape) is not feeling well, and he is taken to the hospital in an ambulance. Madelene is scared that she might lose the Ape and remain lonely. Madelene and the Ape have been living as husband and wife after running away from Adams, who was not affectionate. Madeline lived peacefully with the Ape because she experiences a quiet life. While in the ambulance, Madelene pleads with the doctor to everything possible to save the Ape. Consequently, Madelene does not want the Ape to die, and he tells the doctor that he should also kill himself if he dies.
“Would you be so kind as to help lift it?”
This statement is said by Madelene when she realizes that the Ape is not feeling well. There is a man around, and Madelene requests him to help lift it to stand. The man is surprised why the woman is early thinking about the life of the Ape. The man keenly looks at the Ape and realizes that it is as tall as him. However, Madelene believes that the Ape is part of her life, and she has to do everything to help it recover and get back to its feet.
