Hours Page #3

Yeah, it looks like it.

You going to Charity?

What?

Charity Hospital, man.

People are leaving.

No. I have to stay here.

You know we're closing the cafeteria

in a few minutes.

Do you think you can get me some food?

No, man.

The nurses took what was left. Sorry.

You think maybe

you can get some coins?

The ones on the first floor,

they're gonna be picked over,

but if you take the stairs up to four,

there's gonna be a little waiting

area outside surgery.

Okay. Thank you.

They're sending me out on the next bus.

Tulane they got food, but no cooks.

- Alright. Well, good luck.

- You too.

Wait.

Some luncheon meat.

No bread, but salami, some turkey...

Take it, man.

- Nah. No. I can't take your food.

- I don't need it like you do.

I was about to get mad.

- I appreciate it.

- Don't eat that all at once, though.

Yeah, finally some good news.

A levy that has broken on Lake

Pontchartrain from New Orleans.

This is new video that we have just gotten

in, we're seeing it for the first time.

Nothing to stop this water

from just pouring in right now...

Hey!

Hey!

What the hell is that?

What's that?

No, no, no, no!

Yes... Okay.

No.

No, don't do this to me.

Stupid machine.

No.

No. Hey! Hey,

we got a bad battery in here!

Hey, is anybody on this floor?

Nurse?

I need a battery.

Battery. Battery.

Alright, hold on.

Alright.

I hear you'!

I hear you'!

Come on, you, stupid battery!

Won't hold a charge.

Hey! Can somebody

get their ass in here, please?!

I could really use some help!

Hey, is anybody here?!

Oh, my God!

The first floor's flooding.

Hey, we're in 204.

Room 204, please!

Somebody please!

Nolan?

Shelly.

The levees broke.

The streets are flooding.

The back entrance is still okay.

You can go out that way.

No, wait. We gotta get her out of here then.

We gotta get out the whole thing.

The battery's old and it's only taking a small charge.

If you look at it, it's only good for 3 minutes.

Move her where?

We could roll it out.

Put it on the bus and get it out.

There's no buses.

We can go up a couple of floors, go to the roof

top and wait for a helicopter to come and...

No. The power is out and we can't get that

thing up the stairs by ourselves.

We'll have to wait 'til the power comes

back on and then we'll get you a Medevac.

- What, so we're stranded here?

- Just until power comes back.

Where's Doctor Edmonds at?

He left an hour ago.

- What?

- He went with some of the ICU patients.

He was going to come back with the bus

drivers, but then the levees broke and...

Sh*t!

Pump!

Okay, well, I'm not leaving!

Shelly listen, I'm not leaving,

so, think about it.

What else could we do?
