Bringing Out the Dead Page #5
Larry and Frank slow at the last Skid Row stretchers. On
one, NOEL, a young dark-skinned man with chaotic mess of
dreadlocks, pulls feverishly at his restraints:
NOEL:
For God's sake, give me some water.
From the next stretcher a man with feet swollen purple like
prize eggplants replies:
BIG FEET:
Shut up! Goddamn civilians.
NOEL:
Give me some water!
NURSE CRUPP stops Frank and Larry as they approach the
Critical care room. inside, the staff appears as if under
siege by a battalion of shriveled men and women lying on a
field of white sheets.
NURSE CRUPP:
Don't take another step. We're on
diversion. Can't accept any more
patients. Your dispatcher should
have told you.
FRANK:
We got him at Eighteen and Second.
You're closest.
NURSE CRUPP:
Where will I put him, Frank? Look.
Tell me.
FRANK:
He wanted to come here. Said the
nurses at Misery were the best.
NURSE CRUPP:
(acquiesces)
All right, give me a minute. I'll
kick someone out of slot three.
Larry unravels himself from the IV lines as nurse walks over,
takes Burke's pulse.
NOEL:
(to Frank)
Excuse me. You are a very kind man.
I can see that. A man like you could
not refuse a poor sick dying helpless
man a small cup of water.
FRANK:
I can't. I have to stay with my
patient.
BIG FEET:
Shut the f*** up! If it wasn't for
these dun feet I'd get up and kick
your ass!
DR. HAZMAT, 30, steps over.
HAZMAT:
Godammit, guys, what are you doing
to me? We're all backed up in here.
Christ, would you look at him? He's
gonna need the works. What's wrong
with him?
LARRY:
You should know. You pronounced him.
HAZMAT:
You told me he was dead. Flatline.
FRANK:
He got better.
