MATT:

Goddammit, Scottie, stop fighting me on

everything.

SCOTTIE:

But it doesn't make any sense.

MATT:

You know what your mother is hearing

right now? You refusing to talk to

her. Is that what you want?

SCOTTIE:

I'm starving. And I'm thirsty. I want

a soda.

He takes Scottie by the hand and sits her down in a chair

next to the bed.

MATT:

We're not leaving until you talk to

her. I'll even give you privacy.

Recite her the alphabet for all I care.

What do you want to drink?

SCOTTIE:

Sprite.

MATT:

OK, Sprite. Diet Sprite?

SCOTTIE:

Not diet. Regular. Do you think I'm

fat?

MATT:

No, you're not fat.

SCOTTIE:

I'm not the model.

MATT:

It's just that all that sugar makes you

cranky.

SCOTTIE:

I'm not cranky!

MATT:

Okay. I'll be right back. Talk.

10 INT. HOSPITAL HALLWAY - DAY 10

As Matt steps out into the hallway, he passes NURSE JOY.

NURSE JOY:

Mr. King, how are you?

MATT:

Fine, Joy, fine. And you?

NURSE JOY:

I see your picture in the paper today.

Have you made your decision yet?

MATT:

My decision?

NURSE JOY:

Your family. About your big land.

The other NURSE nudges Joy to be more polite.

NURSE JOY (CONT'D)

What? Me and Mr. King, we're like

this.

MATT:

Well, it's not really my decision.

It's my whole family's decision. And

furthermore...

(mock scolding)

... mind your own business, young lady.
