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. 712Please respect copyright.PENANAEUMEnXv0AP

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

(more loudly)712Please respect copyright.PENANAjiy4us50oT
I said shut it off!712Please respect copyright.PENANAdeeWhCGhnp
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)712Please respect copyright.PENANAnid7Zhcmfc
Are we going to have another Jerry on our712Please respect copyright.PENANAh535TFIZW3
hands?712Please respect copyright.PENANAj4sXIIo03b
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. 712Please respect copyright.PENANACDnDuDzsmy
ATHOL 712Please respect copyright.PENANAluLrWfsQbo

FREDRICK712Please respect copyright.PENANALn3rZdwE9w
(with a sigh)712Please respect copyright.PENANAcKcDHrTWrb
Yeah.712Please respect copyright.PENANAcKOyxsk85l
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. 712Please respect copyright.PENANArW7XHyMJSe
ATHOL712Please respect copyright.PENANAAaWMryBVVr

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.712Please respect copyright.PENANAjxYRlW5MKP
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. 712Please respect copyright.PENANARxLTolo1ab

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene712Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8clkCiL6z
in your youth, weren't ya?712Please respect copyright.PENANAwxFWCcJIYq
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. 712Please respect copyright.PENANAGLDhQ2Eg6v
FREDRICK712Please respect copyright.PENANAcmyI3gEXlQ
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.712Please respect copyright.PENANAKs4OwB6yDx

(beat)712Please respect copyright.PENANAYz2gMUZNLw
Because I'm making it personal. 712Please respect copyright.PENANAvYw0K6REkD
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.712Please respect copyright.PENANABYk5B1LNJY
