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. 655Please respect copyright.PENANA3J7Dh3ys3E

I said shut it off!655Please respect copyright.PENANAcubz6dMx1s
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)655Please respect copyright.PENANAPZMO6SDiJZ
Are we going to have another Jerry on our655Please respect copyright.PENANAGz2ag9ljbd

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. 655Please respect copyright.PENANAybhg8tB9Fk

(with a sigh)655Please respect copyright.PENANAfv7eCNGtbC
Yeah.655Please respect copyright.PENANAsENMY2BlPx
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. 655Please respect copyright.PENANAvieNLg2hfd
ATHOL655Please respect copyright.PENANAZfbJ2EY41H

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. 655Please respect copyright.PENANA1IFbsiRAxv

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene655Please respect copyright.PENANAGHd7FkyAJP
in your youth, weren't ya?655Please respect copyright.PENANAO7EYVwie7E
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. 655Please respect copyright.PENANA5Wg6W7dWD3
FREDRICK655Please respect copyright.PENANAe3TFa3VjUq

Because I'm making it personal. 655Please respect copyright.PENANAeHC3Jb3LYC
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.655Please respect copyright.PENANA0DcY4ysmTY
