FADE IN:
INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - AFTERNOON
The CAMERA SCANS a blank white hospital room. DRIPS from the faucet and a SLOW BEEPING from the heart monitor echo throughout the room. The CAMERA PAUSES on SOPHIE, who lies in bed, bandages wrapped around her head, sporting an oxygen massed, and puffed up, bruised, and scarred throughout.
CLOSE UP - BLACK ROSES
Sit atop a table, a bright red ribbon wrapping around the stems. Connected to the ribbon is a note.
INSERT - NOTE
Written in sloppy, though legible writing: "Get well soon, love. The World is with you."
CUT TO:
INT. HOSPITAL HALLWAY - AFTERNOON
Jerry, a middle-aged, graying man, sits on a bench, hands clasped in front of his lips and foot tapping in anxiety. He straightens slightly as nurses come into view, but they pass by him. He sighs, runs his hands through his hair, and looks up as doctor FREDRICK walks up to him, Styrofoam cup of coffee in hand.

Coffee.
Fredrick takes a sip of coffee. Closing his eyes, Jerry runs his hands through his hair, sniffing. A long silence follows, HEELS CLICKING against the hard floors dominating the time. Fredrick looks down at the exhausted man while Jerry intentionally avoids his gaze.
Fredrick takes a final drink and crushes his cup, throwing it towards a trash bin. He misses and makes no move to pick it up. Jerry fiddles with his fingers, glancing around wildly before shutting his eyes tightly. Suddenly, he bursts into tears, sobbing quietly and pinching the bridge of his nose. Fredrick quickly sits beside him and wraps an arm around his shoulders.

Oh God...
Fredrick sits quietly, awkwardly patting the other man's shoulder.
JERRY (CONT'D)606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD91ZfOF7aU
She still hasn't woken up, has she?
FREDRICK606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsIY1VfBwK
No.
JERRY606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4Qma2fFvI
It's been twelve days now.
FREDRICK606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIqn1o5ejt
I know.
Jerry shrugs off Fredrick's arm, stands and starts pacing, rubbing his face repeatedly. He stops crying, but looks distressed. Fredrick remains sitting, watching Jerry and rubbing the fabric of his doctor's coat.
FREDRICK (CONT'D)606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIVsuVkyxP
She's not your daughter.
Jerry stops pacing, bewildered. Fredrick stands to approach him, but Jerry paces again, so he sits back down.
JERRY606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKpBILg9SE
Damn it, Fred. I know that!
FREDRICK606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO9UYiMw04
So why are you getting so worked up over this?
JERRY606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2fn9dtYtM
(challenging)606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B1AIZklo0
Why aren't you?
Fredrick doesn't respond. Jerry paces still, rubbing his eyes and biting his nails. Fredrick stands and walks to the window looking into Sophie's room, arms folded. Jerry comes over, standing beside him, and tears fill his eyes. He rubs his nose.

JERRY606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwm5hzVmG7
He was released?
FREDRICK606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2jeM0Bpb5
A few days ago, yes.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCncFtAOkf6
Jerry slams his fist on the wall, biting his lip. Fredrick looks at him sympathetically.
JERRY606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD1YA4nkcY
She doesn't deserve this.

C'mon, let's go out for a walk.
EXT. HOSPITAL GARDENS - AFTERNOON
Fredrick and Jerry walk side by side. Red, yellow, and blue flowers surround a simple though beautiful fountain. Jerry looks at the flowers with a wistful smile.
