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. 642Please respect copyright.PENANAwaqlQb8WTE

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

I said shut it off!642Please respect copyright.PENANArZ4xjSs88E
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)642Please respect copyright.PENANAOG4jx9fiqn
Are we going to have another Jerry on our642Please respect copyright.PENANAIResjjXEBo

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. 642Please respect copyright.PENANA9qoFCL4q2V

(with a sigh)642Please respect copyright.PENANAW8QV2BgQh6
Yeah.642Please respect copyright.PENANAtNVQiOz9AW
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. 642Please respect copyright.PENANAthAg35E6uT
ATHOL642Please respect copyright.PENANAmvUYLrQSFi

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.642Please respect copyright.PENANA0iUuv1RU1i
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. 642Please respect copyright.PENANAUmquBWW4yb

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene642Please respect copyright.PENANADXS7Tthf1r
in your youth, weren't ya?642Please respect copyright.PENANAjyPDj5S6f3
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. 642Please respect copyright.PENANAOAuVhjNHHL
FREDRICK642Please respect copyright.PENANADfCAWbGmUd
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.642Please respect copyright.PENANAyaGlKkoiy8

(beat)642Please respect copyright.PENANAFSoyjK3Q1D
Because I'm making it personal. 642Please respect copyright.PENANAjotDVgaCON
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.642Please respect copyright.PENANArk8ALUqNBv
