He hangs up the phone. Dede has quietly come in. She's
looking at Joe. She speaks to him in a low voice.
DEDE:
Why do you let Waturi talk to
you like that?
JOE:
Like what?

(5) 4DEDE:
What's wrong with you?
JOE:
I don't... feel very good.
She looks at him. She's frustrated with this guy. This
is somebody who she could go for, but he's just lying
there like a dog waiting to be kicked. He looks at her.
If he had the strength, if he were feeling a little
better, he'd make a play for this woman. But he's
helpless. He just doesn't feel very good. Absently, he
feels the glands in his throat.
DEDE:
What's the matter with you?
JOE:
I don't know.
She stares at him. She's angry, frustrated. She turns
and walks out. Joe's eyes are shining with tears that
will not fall. He is powerless to help himself. He
mutters to himself, fierce and impotent.
JOE:
I don't know.
He presses the heels of his hands into his eyes.
5 INT. DOCTOR'S WAITING ROOM - DAY 5
We discover Joe with the heels of his hands pressed into
his eyes. This room is fluorescently lit, too, and
perhaps at first we don't realize we have gone somewhere
else. A nurse's voice is heard.
NURSE (O.S.)
Mr. Banks? Mr. Banks?
Joe, startled, takes his hands from his eyes. The CAMERA
PULLS BACK and we see we're in a doctor's waiting room.
And now we see the NURSE. She is a very conservative,
W.A.S.P. Nurse .
JOE:
Yeah?
NURSE:
Doctor Ellison will see you
now.
JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO - Rev. 5/16/89 9.
6 INT. DR. ELLISON'S OFFICE - DAY 6
The lighting in the doctor's office is the first warm,
relaxing light we've seen. It comes from lamps and a
little frosted window. The office itself is full of old
wood and books. DR. ELLISON sits in a comfortable chair,
at an old desk. He is the last word in doctors. He's a
large, respectable, distinguished, greyed-haired M.D.
He's a specialist. You get the feeling he may be a
genius.
ELLISON:
How are you feeling, Mr.
Banks?
JOE:
Pretty much the same. I feel
puffy, blotchy. I never seem
to have very much energy. I
get these little sore throats.
I just don't feel good.
ELLISON:
And how long have you felt
this way?
JOE:
left the Fire Department. On
and off. But since then.
'Bout eight years.
ELLISON:
What did you do in the Fire
Department?
JOE:
Well, ah, you know, I put out
fires.
ELLISON:
Was it dangerous?
JOE:
Yeah. Ahm, pretty rough
stuff. But I came out of it
okay. The hard part was not
feeling good all the time. I
started not feeling good all
the time. So I hadda quit.
