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. 639Please respect copyright.PENANAJpeqsXxOgy

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)639Please respect copyright.PENANAkoXSpe0uW3
Are we going to have another Jerry on our639Please respect copyright.PENANAYk8UbB3POJ

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. 639Please respect copyright.PENANAxfy847exy9

(with a sigh)639Please respect copyright.PENANA56JGXRBMeu
Yeah.639Please respect copyright.PENANAXdjQz7TveM
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. 639Please respect copyright.PENANA4NGKa7FP5J

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. 639Please respect copyright.PENANAEpuhOHfdzD

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. 639Please respect copyright.PENANA4ElUkrdF4F
FREDRICK639Please respect copyright.PENANA3CmKTmkSh4
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.639Please respect copyright.PENANAuoyRbbIWtH

Because I'm making it personal. 639Please respect copyright.PENANA1R8gS0pt5Q
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.639Please respect copyright.PENANAbiT7Nqsl7d
