KINDERS:

Lucky you didn't bother or we'd be

waiting a week, Fingers.

FINGERS:

You trying to say I'm a minger, boss?

KINDERS:

I'm saying you should have a look in

the mirror. Now on!

FINGERS:

(muttering as he boards)

I happen to know I'm beautiful, me.

They are now all on. Kinders looks around for Molly.

12:20 INT. NAN'S CORSA CAR. DAY 24. 11:50.

BELINDA:

Birmingham ain't far. Is it?

MOLLY:

You can just drop me off at a station

if you want, I don't mind.

NAN:

It's fine.

BELINDA:

Yeah, we'll take you. You must be tired.

And you've got your uniform on and all

that.

MOLLY:

Most people don't hate us, mum. Some

people actually appreciate us.

DAVE:

And they don't mind you going straight

to Birmingham?

MOLLY:

(lying)

No, I asked. It's because I'm the medic.

I’m allowed.

Dave gives her a look.

DAVE:

You were never one for rules and

regulations eh?

Molly looks out of the window.

10:
12:47 EXT. Q.E. HOSPITAL. SELLY OAK.

Molly takes her things and Nan's Corsa departs. We see Molly

hurrying into the hospital.

10:
12:54 INT. Q.E. HOSPITAL. SELLY OAK.

Molly hurries along a corridor and gets into a lift.

10:
13:04 INT. Q.E. HOSPITAL. SELLY OAK. OUTSIDE ICU.

Molly is looking into ICU.

SMURF (O.S.)

He's in theatre.

Molly swings around and sees Smurf. He is in his dressing gown,

arm now operated on and in a sling. He looks at her accusingly

and there is a prickly tone to his voice.

SMURF (CONT'D)

The boss.

MOLLY:

What's happening?

13:16 MUSIC OUT – Is This Real - Lisa Hall (ii)

SMURF:

The first operation last week doesn't

seem to have done the trick. He got

rushed in to theatre about an hour ago.

You've come just in time.

Molly looks anxious. Smurf goes to a row of chairs and sits down.

MOLLY:

(desperate)

Is it that bad?

SMURF:

The next twelve hours are

apparently... you know. So the nurses

have said.

MOLLY:

He's a fighter.

SMURF:

Some things you just can't fight.

Beat. Molly goes to sit next to him.

MOLLY:

Smurf, I'm sorry.

Smurf looks at her. Molly comes over to sit next to him.

MOLLY (CONT'D)

I understand if you hate me.

SMURF:

(quietly)

Shut up.

Molly turns to look at Smurf. The awkwardness is going away.

MOLLY:

How are you doing?

SMURF:

I got a lucky escape.

MOLLY:

Hmm... not that lucky.

SMURF:

The scars will heal.

MOLLY:

Smurf, I know it's all my fault.

SMURF:

I guess you can't help your feelings

any more than I can help mine.

MOLLY:

Nothing happened between me and the

boss. I mean... nothing actually

happened.

SMURF:

It didn't need to, did it?

MOLLY:
