FADE IN:

INT. HOSPITAL – EVENING

SARAH approaches a hospital desk. A NURSE sits behind the desk, managing paperwork.

SARAH Hi, I was hoping to have a word with you.

NURSE: In a minute.

Nurse organizes paperwork.

SARAH: …Miss? This is in regards to my mother.

NURSE: I heard you.

Nurse continues to organize paperwork.

Sarah leans forward, reading the Nurse’s name tag.

SARAH: Uh, Carol…how long?

NURSE: Excuse me?

SARAH: How long do you expect me to stand here?

Nurse Carol places papers down on her desk in annoyance.

NURSE (sighing): Who’s your mother?

SARAH: You know my mother. Room 405.

NURSE: …What can I help you with?

SARAH: I would like to speak with you with regards to my mother.

NURSE: Yes, I think you’ve said that…go on…

SARAH: My mother has a bruise on her arm.

NURSE: That’s from the injection. Sometimes there’s a reaction.

(pause.)

SARAH: My mother said you were rough with her.

NURSE: Your mother doesn’t make it very easy for me to do my job. When I gave her this mornings injection, she wouldn’t allow me to do so. She resisted.

SARAH: And why do you think?

NURSE: Why do I think what?

SARAH: Why do you think my mother resisted?

NURSE: I’m not sure.

SARAH: Oh no? She resisted because you grabbed her arm like a savage.

NURSE: Now I don’t know what you—

SARAH: Listen, listen to me right now because I’m trying to stay very calm. My mother was in a deep sleep and you startled her by grabbing her arm like a savage, so much so that you yanked her awake and she was frightened and then you forced her to take her injection. She has bruises on her arm from your fingers, not just the injection.

NURSE: She needs to take her injection. It’s life or death if she doesn’t.
