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. 617Please respect copyright.PENANAWyhtbmWagE

Athol snorts at the anchor's lack of care, breaking the tip of her pencil in frustration.

I said shut it off!617Please respect copyright.PENANA2sMCIv33FA
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)617Please respect copyright.PENANAJxx6Ze1rVQ
Are we going to have another Jerry on our617Please respect copyright.PENANAcmG2CjA2Qc

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. 617Please respect copyright.PENANAZmWzCK4zc7

(with a sigh)617Please respect copyright.PENANAXOY8A1SU79
Yeah.617Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0f18Og3Fd
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. 617Please respect copyright.PENANAFC3RjXBUwv
ATHOL617Please respect copyright.PENANAPb88b1FIkJ

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.617Please respect copyright.PENANAtxDpS5PbpC
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. 617Please respect copyright.PENANA8YLcVuT0Wn

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene617Please respect copyright.PENANAzyJitLYpow
in your youth, weren't ya?617Please respect copyright.PENANAAQjZLLFAB8
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. 617Please respect copyright.PENANADHJ0XphnDZ
FREDRICK617Please respect copyright.PENANAzuHVhLVknG
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.617Please respect copyright.PENANA58JmTapD1i

Because I'm making it personal. 617Please respect copyright.PENANAUiVs3r9qWo
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.617Please respect copyright.PENANARNxFac6ofR
