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. 671Please respect copyright.PENANAsSedPihQDN

I said shut it off!671Please respect copyright.PENANAsNJyMOS1xT
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)671Please respect copyright.PENANAxiF2UxQeAd
Are we going to have another Jerry on our671Please respect copyright.PENANAAvjlIIokhU

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. 671Please respect copyright.PENANA56OgkWST3H

(with a sigh)671Please respect copyright.PENANAywhmQZCKmj
Yeah.671Please respect copyright.PENANAWVKNkJiwDK
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. 671Please respect copyright.PENANAVWOqjkg55v

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.671Please respect copyright.PENANAv74x9b9acY
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. 671Please respect copyright.PENANAUGRRace1Dx

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene671Please respect copyright.PENANALDt4R3iyEg

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. 671Please respect copyright.PENANAd3zRfrKw6B
FREDRICK671Please respect copyright.PENANArcM5dN5guU

Because I'm making it personal. 671Please respect copyright.PENANAFgZfYj45ar
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.671Please respect copyright.PENANA4L6z5PzLY8
