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. 622Please respect copyright.PENANAfKfZOXed0l

a group of teenage assailants. Officials 622Please respect copyright.PENANAaLwg5KnvXA

a part of the Goth subculture. 622Please respect copyright.PENANA1v56yTsi8G
Athol snorts at the anchor's lack of care, breaking the tip of her pencil in frustration.

I said shut it off!622Please respect copyright.PENANAPgp9kO9Mbn
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)622Please respect copyright.PENANACkZ3d3O0Mk
Are we going to have another Jerry on our622Please respect copyright.PENANAPzlmMnjSx4
hands?622Please respect copyright.PENANADaHydYIZ6M
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. 622Please respect copyright.PENANA53jWiP1suu
ATHOL 622Please respect copyright.PENANAbgN7Wrg5k5

FREDRICK622Please respect copyright.PENANAzyekst0mXh
(with a sigh)622Please respect copyright.PENANAZXbhdDcTC7
Yeah.622Please respect copyright.PENANAolFh3OCyIw
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. 622Please respect copyright.PENANAgJKqnGlwfG
ATHOL622Please respect copyright.PENANAF6YvE2NG5x

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.622Please respect copyright.PENANA2Boz3lBaBe
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. 622Please respect copyright.PENANA8tffF3dcee

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene622Please respect copyright.PENANAeTC1y8SmS6
in your youth, weren't ya?622Please respect copyright.PENANA6tEs0yZRBQ
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. 622Please respect copyright.PENANAE1Mhvbzkeu
FREDRICK622Please respect copyright.PENANALDWA0UA5F4
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.622Please respect copyright.PENANAV5eZv3iANC
ATHOL622Please respect copyright.PENANAqFqy4Wc8Zq

(beat)622Please respect copyright.PENANAXo3TVeoPS1
Because I'm making it personal. 622Please respect copyright.PENANAsA8T6mET3z
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.622Please respect copyright.PENANAqpNIB7oZis
