9 INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - DAY 9

FLASH! Scottie takes Elizabeth's picture again.

MATT:

I wish you'd stop doing that. And

rather than taking her picture all the

time, you should talk to her. I'm

tired of asking you. You heard Dr.

Johnston -- people in a coma can hear

you -- you know, well, some of them

can. It lets them know they're still

loved, might even help them wake up

sooner. And it'll help you express

whatever feelings and emotions you're

supposed to be going through -- you

know, make you feel better.

SCOTTIE:

I don't know what to say.

MATT:

Tell her a story.

SCOTTIE:

I don't have a story.

MATT:

Tell her anything. Tell her what's

been going on in school.

SCOTTIE:

She never cares about that.

MATT:

I don't believe that. What about after

school? She's always driving you

around the island. You know,

gymnastics? Soccer?

SCOTTIE:

I don't do those things anymore.

MATT:

Ballet? Piano? Hula?

SCOTTIE:

Nope.

MATT:

If you're not going to say anything to

your mother, we might as well leave.

SCOTTIE:

Okay. Let's go.

MATT:

How about this? Write her a letter.

SCOTTIE:

What would I write?

MATT:

I don't know. "Get well. Wake up. I

love you. Don't leave me alone with my

idiot Dad."

SCOTTIE:

How's she going to read it? She's in a

coma.
