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. 645Please respect copyright.PENANApjAFPrtLBY

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

I said shut it off!645Please respect copyright.PENANAiR1mRj95Ar
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)645Please respect copyright.PENANAuk8viH9ay6
Are we going to have another Jerry on our645Please respect copyright.PENANAYoKqORWnmq
hands?645Please respect copyright.PENANAX2sBsc5DXa
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. 645Please respect copyright.PENANANH0Qtb1aUy

(with a sigh)645Please respect copyright.PENANAJNatFBREJg
Yeah.645Please respect copyright.PENANAbjeXEz7lBF
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. 645Please respect copyright.PENANA0gBxmwed0M
ATHOL645Please respect copyright.PENANAuwfrDQkmal

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.645Please respect copyright.PENANACX15upO5hD
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. 645Please respect copyright.PENANACJVtvYjoUF

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene645Please respect copyright.PENANAiydGWD51ca
in your youth, weren't ya?645Please respect copyright.PENANAMASfwUZfQJ
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. 645Please respect copyright.PENANA13NBOQtQa8
FREDRICK645Please respect copyright.PENANABILBkw3TNV
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.645Please respect copyright.PENANADYNwoyoyvt

Because I'm making it personal. 645Please respect copyright.PENANAXJwbs7FGOQ
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.645Please respect copyright.PENANAP01iSa93qq
