Narrative momentum builds throughout this section, as confrontation after confrontation leads to the climax of the act, Diana's explosion during "Didn't I See This Movie?" The movie in question is the Oscar winning "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," in which a heroic character allowed himself to receive life-destroying treatment in order to protect his friends in the mental hospital.
