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. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAKEEHGB3bFm

a group of teenage assailants. Officials 621Please respect copyright.PENANAtFRqoQnV1D

a hate crime as the couple are considered621Please respect copyright.PENANAUqPZ9uuQOP
a part of the Goth subculture. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAlzGIkjewjt
Athol snorts at the anchor's lack of care, breaking the tip of her pencil in frustration.

I said shut it off!621Please respect copyright.PENANAwkz6sYO1Yb
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)621Please respect copyright.PENANAqwW5pdmX8Z
Are we going to have another Jerry on our621Please respect copyright.PENANAkRaUlQeVHr
hands?621Please respect copyright.PENANAEgoe7y2pyz
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. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAkiFf7cqAlS
ATHOL 621Please respect copyright.PENANARZLRAA38Sz

(with a sigh)621Please respect copyright.PENANAZQTNrNDa3p
Yeah.621Please respect copyright.PENANAosmWMqDQNV
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. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAabkD2RORzi
ATHOL621Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZTWhQAkT1

One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.621Please respect copyright.PENANALAYGq7MqOm
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. 621Please respect copyright.PENANA0fir7y0Ld5

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene621Please respect copyright.PENANA2857j9n6L4
in your youth, weren't ya?621Please respect copyright.PENANASLYFrBP22T
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. 621Please respect copyright.PENANAWJvdim4NyH
FREDRICK621Please respect copyright.PENANA8iwO1VVGJ9
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.621Please respect copyright.PENANAW1onEy15Ll

(beat)621Please respect copyright.PENANAtUIXSIKLJP
Because I'm making it personal. 621Please respect copyright.PENANA3s9cRnZXqF
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.621Please respect copyright.PENANAKxEceOycKT
