Bringing Out the Dead Page #3
LARRY:
It's OK, Frank. We can call it. Eighty-
three.
Frank feels something strange, looks into Burke's pupils,
checks his neck pulse, wrist pulse. His eyes go to Larry:
FRANK:
No we can't. He's got a pulse.
LARRY:
No sh*t.
Larry checks the monitor: the green line up and down. Mary
senses a change in status:
MARY:
Is he going to be alright?
FRANK:
(not encouraging)
His heart's beating.
A distant siren signals the arrival of backup. Frank turns
to Larry:
FRANK (CONT'D)
Have 'em bring up a stretcher.
He looks from Mary back to Mr. Burke--breathing but comatose.
CUT TO:
INT. AMBULANCE--NIGHT
Larry climbing through the back doors, sitting in the jumpseat
at the stretcher's head as Frank hangs IV bags, replugs EKG
wires that have come loose.
Frank looks up, sees Mary entering; he takes her arm, turns
her toward the rear doors:
FRANK:
Help your family. Ride with your
mother and brother.
(she hesitates)
Help your family. They need you more.
Help yourself.
Mary steps out, stands in the red flashing light as Larry
closes the door, Frank climbs in the driver's seat.
CUT TO:
EXT. SECOND AVENUE--NIGHT
The EMS bus cruises up Second. Frank checks the side mirror:
John, Mary and Mrs. Burke pull behind in a black Ford. Seeing
their faces, Frank flips the lights and siren on. It's too
late to help Mr. Burke, but it's important to the family
that it look urgent. Frank watches passing lights, cars,
faces:
FRANK (V.O.)
I needed to concentrate because my
mind tended to wander on these short
trips. It was the neighborhood I
grew up in and where I had worked
most as a paramedic, and it held
more ghosts per square foot than any
other.
CUT TO:
Larry and Frank's 13 Zebra ambulance lined up beside two
others outside a blazing "Emergency" sign on the crowded
side street.
