He talks and laughs to himself and tilts his head to the side, as if he were listening to something. When the nurse attempts to talk to him, he shouts, "Get away from me! I know you are one of them!" He picks up a chair, as if to use it for protection.?Sam's appearance is unkempt. His clothes are dirty and wrinkled, his hair is oily and uncombed, and there is an obvious body odor about him.
