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. 721Please respect copyright.PENANAFtIV1nCsV2

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

I said shut it off!721Please respect copyright.PENANAcpAiFosNKb
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)721Please respect copyright.PENANAVvSaTxd4Zv
Are we going to have another Jerry on our721Please respect copyright.PENANARxQvlmGOrh
hands?721Please respect copyright.PENANAZuP0kN4XB0
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. 721Please respect copyright.PENANAJOZ2CDijEm

(with a sigh)721Please respect copyright.PENANAfMd9TnXl0H
Yeah.721Please respect copyright.PENANAB7XvuOp6dD
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. 721Please respect copyright.PENANAAxt0PZ7y0F
ATHOL721Please respect copyright.PENANA02V1Y3qcyR

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.721Please respect copyright.PENANACeshYdjm0d
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. 721Please respect copyright.PENANAHQl40P0e56

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene721Please respect copyright.PENANAwiGLUxyeTD
in your youth, weren't ya?721Please respect copyright.PENANA0BqRcReqep
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. 721Please respect copyright.PENANAhTIJgZpb6K
FREDRICK721Please respect copyright.PENANA1hX29hu6pP
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.721Please respect copyright.PENANAiWMofT5Nmt

Because I'm making it personal. 721Please respect copyright.PENANAQS1jKeplum
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.721Please respect copyright.PENANAAragFu32Nc
