Parry At The End

After Jack got Parry the Grail and Parry wakes up he remembers his wife. He asks if he can start missing her now. Does that mean that Parry remembers his name is really Henry Sagan?

Its really hard to tell since its the end but i'm actually interested in knowing if Parry was truly 'cured' of his mental illness or if he still is mentally ill, but is closer to healing than he was before he met Jack.

I'd also like to know if Parry ever realizes that Jack is partially responsible for his wifes death. Probably not and its better that way.

IT'S 0600. WHATS THE 0 STAND FOR? OH MY GOD ITS EARLY!

I think Parry finally came to terms with what happened and became sane again.

The end strongly hints that Jack and Parry have reversed roles: Jack is the crazy one seeing hallucinations and Parry is the straight man.

It's nice to think of Parry as sane again. I wonder if he would help his friends that were homeless.
