INT. HOSPITAL RECREATION ROOM - AFTERNOON
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. 652Please respect copyright.PENANAFhJcLmuIlj
NEWS ANCHOR652Please respect copyright.PENANA6jVRZvbOrQ

a group of teenage assailants. Officials 652Please respect copyright.PENANAbV1klzvrFq

a hate crime as the couple are considered652Please respect copyright.PENANAmhMJvtiDhx
a part of the Goth subculture. 652Please respect copyright.PENANARB6ZNwxPGt
Athol snorts at the anchor's lack of care, breaking the tip of her pencil in frustration.

I said shut it off!652Please respect copyright.PENANAoXlgxrGWX1
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)652Please respect copyright.PENANAKQw3dG5OEN
Are we going to have another Jerry on our652Please respect copyright.PENANAwNS4YpAAlj
hands?652Please respect copyright.PENANAtAktB6EQhF
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. 652Please respect copyright.PENANAqnwfHz6bNh
ATHOL 652Please respect copyright.PENANA8bPggQZEdm

(with a sigh)652Please respect copyright.PENANAVMIT4LGljw
Yeah.652Please respect copyright.PENANAsne6tcFIh5
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. 652Please respect copyright.PENANAAbA1YBJBcs
ATHOL652Please respect copyright.PENANAXwUxZ1ZS1N

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.652Please respect copyright.PENANAzF6JmsgJ81
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. 652Please respect copyright.PENANAjTV6OtURP7

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene652Please respect copyright.PENANACJhWqlvb5h
in your youth, weren't ya?652Please respect copyright.PENANAAnOaXcYbsW
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. 652Please respect copyright.PENANAuk4oTgPvpu
FREDRICK652Please respect copyright.PENANA24pcDo5E6F
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.652Please respect copyright.PENANAPT3MopA0Re

(beat)652Please respect copyright.PENANARfmeOrAwE4
Because I'm making it personal. 652Please respect copyright.PENANAiOqfIvKE22
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.652Please respect copyright.PENANAb0oYeOLqlO
