Nurse ATHOL, a Scottish immigrant, works on a word search. One of her co-workers turns on the TV, and she looks up as the news turns on. 619Please respect copyright.PENANAuYxWu0270x

I said shut it off!619Please respect copyright.PENANAmAhZDkZMG0
The nurse quickly changes the channel. The HAPPY DAYS THEME SONG replaces the droll voice of the anchor. Athol glares at the TV, fuming.
FREDRICK (O.S)619Please respect copyright.PENANAZAyTP7RsUu
Are we going to have another Jerry on our619Please respect copyright.PENANAZOLA1VL4fQ

Athol turns and sees a grim-looking, though smiling Fredrick. He sits across from her, and exhaling exasperatedly lets her pencil flop onto the table. 619Please respect copyright.PENANAK4BHcq7caJ

(with a sigh)619Please respect copyright.PENANAxw7DxtpLHK
Yeah.619Please respect copyright.PENANAvsfDV0sDnb
Athol sighs herself and rolls her head back. Fredrick fiddles with his coat before reaching over and taking Athol's word search, continuing from where she left off. Athol looks back at him curiously. 619Please respect copyright.PENANAOGaCQt380b
ATHOL619Please respect copyright.PENANAagsrXGxP0Q

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.619Please respect copyright.PENANAOfhtFkYHAz
Athol suddenly throws her pencil at him, hitting him square on the head. He looks up, surprised. Athol's sitting back in her chair with crossed arms. 619Please respect copyright.PENANAwVbjXCUg3Z

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene619Please respect copyright.PENANAKBRaxmqM9j
in your youth, weren't ya?619Please respect copyright.PENANAIbMAB4Ed5w
Fredrick stands and walks to the window, rubbing the hem of his coat. Athol frowns, shakes her head slightly, and walks over to him, rubbing his back and leaning against him. Fredrick doesn't look at her. 619Please respect copyright.PENANA0OsSx5xOJX
FREDRICK619Please respect copyright.PENANAMvYsYx1UEt
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.619Please respect copyright.PENANAfG8Ed4OD2d

Because I'm making it personal. 619Please respect copyright.PENANAsf6ns6Dbz6
Athol frowns, then kisses his cheek and takes her leave, leaving the doctor to his thoughts. Fredrick stares blankly after her until she's out of sight, then walks down a hall to Sophie's room.619Please respect copyright.PENANA9xmizU0qxV
