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. 614Please respect copyright.PENANAOgtPP8WwsX

a hate crime as the couple are considered614Please respect copyright.PENANAQukbow9UEv

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

I said shut it off!614Please respect copyright.PENANAk0RXhZoglx
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)614Please respect copyright.PENANAAUjvEVwhTX
Are we going to have another Jerry on our614Please respect copyright.PENANAryBI0b5vUq
hands?614Please respect copyright.PENANAC8kDK44e1U
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. 614Please respect copyright.PENANApEpqwPZjVd
ATHOL 614Please respect copyright.PENANASYSv4tkhMQ

(with a sigh)614Please respect copyright.PENANAJLH9kzxiCe
Yeah.614Please respect copyright.PENANAe4HVCdXjR1
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. 614Please respect copyright.PENANAbcfmka3mzr
ATHOL614Please respect copyright.PENANADtcqvzlkeK
This whole dilemma is really hitting home614Please respect copyright.PENANAPvSPlfxc1P

Depends on what one you're talking about. We have614Please respect copyright.PENANAX6u7DgT6XE
One hundred and one dilemmas a day, Athe.614Please respect copyright.PENANACpIDzOuP4n
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. 614Please respect copyright.PENANAouLk0jhHDj

On a personal level? You 'er in the Goth scene614Please respect copyright.PENANAIwNgjSpbOK
in your youth, weren't ya?614Please respect copyright.PENANAEyMZv7BzgU
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. 614Please respect copyright.PENANAgygrk6LycK
FREDRICK614Please respect copyright.PENANAARVansiqmm
It's not that I was a part of the culture, Athe.614Please respect copyright.PENANALaL8IdlH0y
ATHOL614Please respect copyright.PENANAtIZzkxBssz

(beat)614Please respect copyright.PENANAnDr2Zn72Va
Because I'm making it personal. 614Please respect copyright.PENANAXAHBXWFCQu
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.614Please respect copyright.PENANAWE7ly0ZiMN
