Earnest, a man with a kind face, shuffles down the linoleum corridor of the assisted living facility daily. The nurses all adore him, even as they fret over his aching back from the countless beds he's made. He’s taken on the duty of an orderly in his late seventies for one bizarre reason: to keep an eye on his schizophrenic twins. He checks in on Agnes, who insists she’s a teapot, her arms outstretched like spouts, and hears his brother Arthur singing faint lullabies to a Ficus plant. Earnest just hopes Arthur hasn't traded his dentures for a box of paperclips again.
