SHOPKEEPER:

Okay, you buy underage girl all for

yourself.

In the lobby just outside the store, he drops the stack of

postcards into the GARBAGE.

12 INT. HOSPITAL STAIRWAY - DAY 12

Forgoing the elevator -- perhaps to squeeze in a little

exercise -- Matt trudges upstairs.

MATT (V.O.)

Elizabeth's going to make it out okay.

I know it. It's not her time yet.

She'll wake up, Scottie and Alexandra

will have their mother back, and we'll

talk about our marriage. I'll sell the

land and quit my practice and buy her

whatever she wants -- a big boat, a

house in France, a trip around the

world, just the two of us. We'll get

close again, like the early days. It's

still in us. It must be.

13 INT. HOSPITAL HALLWAY - DAY 13

Approaching the door, Matt hears LAUGHTER from inside.

14 INT. HOSPITAL ROOM - CONTINUOUS 14

Matt enters to find Scottie on a sofa in the corner GIGGLING

and TEXTING.

MATT:

Scottie, what are you doing?

SCOTTIE:

I'm hungry. Can we go?

MATT:

You didn't talk to her, did you?

SCOTTIE:

Yes, I did.

MATT:

What did you tell her?

SCOTTIE:

It's private.

MATT:

You're lying. And Jesus Christ, enough

with the goddamn texting! Give me that

phone! Give it here!

Scottie fights him as he snatches her phone away.

MATT (CONT'D)

Jesus, Scottie. Okay, you win. Let's

go.

Scottie springs up out of the sofa.

MATT (CONT'D)

At least say goodbye.

SCOTTIE:

Bye, Mom!
