"This Tourette's center sent me a package that was like 900 hundred pages"
About this Quote
Subtext-wise, it’s a snapshot of how laypeople meet medical institutions: not through clarity, but through paperwork, pamphlets, and the implied homework of self-education. If Tunney is referencing research for a role (a common context when actors discuss condition-specific centers), the line also hints at the performance industry’s tug-of-war between authenticity and practicality. You want to do it right, you want to be respectful, and then reality shows up in a box heavy enough to bruise your inbox and your conscience.
It works because the humor isn’t aimed at Tourette’s; it’s aimed at the machinery around it. The center’s generosity becomes comic excess. Her imprecise number is a small rebellion against that excess, a way to admit, without self-pity, that good intentions can still be unmanageable. In one sentence, she captures the modern feeling of being asked to be informed, responsible, and sensitive - immediately, thoroughly, and in 900-hundred-page installments.
