END CREDITS:

9 INT. HOSPITAL ROOM. DAY. 9

Sally lies in bed, knitting, as she watches Project

Runway. She is in a hospital gown but otherwise she seems

fine. Don and Ron sit beside Sally. They watch the show

as well. There is a nurse changing Sally’s IV.

RON:

Oh, that’s really creative. I would have

never thought to do that with denim.

DON:

He wouldn’t.

SALLY:

Oh, I would. I think that’s terrific.

A10 INT. HOSPITAL HALLWAY. DAY. A10

John walks down the hospital hallway and pauses just

before entering his Mom’s room. He takes a breath...

then walks in.

B10 INT. HOSPITAL ROOM. DAY. B10

John enters.

JOHN:

Hey, mom.

Sally lights up when she sees him.

SALLY:

Oh my God--Look who’s here! How did you

know?

John looks to his Dad who smiles.

SALLY (CONT’D)

Donald!

Don gives a satisfied laugh as he hugs his son.

SALLY (CONT’D)

Come here and give mom a hug.

John puts down his bag and gives his mother a big hug.

JOHN:

How you doing?

John looks at her wrist. It is all bandaged up.

JOHN (CONT’D)

What happened to your hand?

SALLY:

Brain tumor. Have you been smoking?

JOHN:

What? No?

John pats his brother on the shoulder.

RON:

Hey.

SALLY:

You smell like an ashtray.

JOHN:

Uh...

DON:

Don’t lie to your mother. She almost died

today.

RON:

She didn’t almost die.

DON:

That’s not what the doctor said.

RON:

That wasn’t a doctor. He was a nurse. We

haven’t seen a doctor yet. And you’re

scaring mom.

SALLY:

I’m not scared. I just don’t want John to

get lung cancer.

JOHN:

(to his mother)

I only had one.

SALLY:

Well, don’t have anymore. You’re going to

be a father soon.

JOHN:

I know. I know.

That guy was a nurse?

RON:

Yeah. He was in John’s class in high

school.

JOHN:

Really? What’s his name?

SALLY:

Jason.

JOHN:

Jason? Jason Owens?

SALLY:

Yeah, that’s it.

JOHN:

Wow, he’s a nurse? That guy was such a

burn out in high school.
