(Fade In)
EXT. - In Front of Hospital - Day
DOCTOR walks past a TROPICAL FANTASY delivery truck into a hospital that is parked in front. INT. Hospital Hallway - Day NURSE #1 and an orderly are pushing an armless female Asian patient in a wheel-chair down the hall. The hospital is rather busy and full of Asian & American patients in this American hospital. NURSE #1 stops the DOCTOR in the hallway. NURSE #1
Oh, excuse me, doctor. We have another transfer. This patient has been described as being hostile. She's a handful. She's starting trouble with all the other patients. DOCTOR looks down and notices that PATIENT #1 has her ankels straped down.
NURSE #1
She's very resourceful, and very creative. She needs to be watched...constantly. DOCTOR
I see. She being transfered to the X-Wing? NURSE #1
No, doctor. Dr. Paul suggested the Z-Wing. DOCTOR looks somewhat shocked.
DOCTOR
I see. NURSE #1
We need your signature for authorization. DOCTOR
Put her with the other amputee's...preferably armless. DOCTOR signs paper on the clipboard, the orderly continues to push PATIENT #1 down the hall while NURSE #1 follows.
INT. Hospital Hallway - Day
The orderly pushes PATIENT #1 through a solid heavy door marked "Z-Wing - Authorized Personel Only". PATIENT #1 starts to look weary. NURSE #1
Thank you, orderly. That will be all. Please, wait for me outside the door. The orderly leaves the room and closes the door behind them.
NURSE #1 turns PATIENT #1 around and pushes her through some more doors. INT. - Hospital Nurse's Station - Day NURSE #2 approaches and grabs clipboard & starts reading. NURSE #2
Is this...? NURSE #1
Oh yeah. This is the little scrapper you've been hearing about. NURSE #2 puts clipboard down & slowly leans over to PATIENT #1 to look at her.
PATIENT #1 just sits still and tries not to make eye contact. NURSE #1
Doctor Paul said to put her in this wing, and, uh...DOCTOR... NURSE #2
(interrupting) Yeah, he called it in right before you walked in. NURSE #2 tries to gently brush PATIENT #1's hair from her eyes.
PATIENT #1 quickly refuses the kind gesture. NURSE #2
(towards PATIENT #1) Don't talk much, eh? Fine. Have it your way. We'll see. NURSE #2 walks behind the counter, takes a drink of her TROPICAL FANTASY beverage.
NURSE #2
We're going to put her in room 4c. It'll be perfect. INT. - Hospital Room - Day
Three large orderlies are strapping in PATIENT #1 to the bed.
On otherside of room PATIENT #2 is in her bed strapped down also. NURSE #2
(continuing) ...if there's anything at all... PATIENT #2
(upset) Dr. Paul said that I could have my own room! NURSE #2
It was Dr. Paul that said... PATIENT #2
She's a spy. PATIENT #1 looks over at PATIENT #2.
PATIENT #2 sees that she got a rise out of PATIENT #1.
PATIENT #2
Oh...? A spy is she? Dr. Paul wants my secret plans. What? He thinks I'm suppose to befriend her. Just because she has no arms too? NURSE #2
What secret plans are those...? PATIENT #2
Bup, bup, bup, bup, bup...sshhh. Can't tell you. Not going to tell her either. NURSE #1
Secret plans? That's a first. PATIENT #2
What are you talking about? That's why I'm here. NURSE #2
You're here because your arms were blown off. (towards NURSE #1) It seems our guest here has some sort of secret plan that we've been trying to get out of her. NURSE #2 rolls her eyes.
PATIENT #1 notices NURSE #2's eye roll then looks over at PATIENT #2 who's staring right back at her. |
