1.INT. HOSPITAL HALLWAY – NIGHT
Enter Jason, walking down the hall with a cup of coffee.
Jason
Ugh, Its been a long night… Damn Psych ward…
Enter Mike.
Mike Speaks Sarcastically.
Mike
Well, well, well. If I didn’t think I just saw a ghost. How was that vacation time? Honolulu was it…?
Jason
Try my house you smart ass. I can’t believe she made me take a vacation. I like my work, there’s no problem in that.
Mike
It is when you start affecting our pay. The pills working for you, buddy?
Jason
I’d rather not talk about that right now. And please don’t call me buddy.
Mike
If you go berserk again, you know what’s gonna happen.
Jason
Nothing?
Mike starts to laugh
Mike
Wishful thinking there, I really needed that, really, thank you.
Jason
Don’t you have prescriptions to write?
Mike
Don’t you have a pill to take?
Jason takes a long drink from his coffee to avoid answering.
Pg. 2
Mike gets serious.
Mike
Fine. Be that way. But when you get shit canned, your benefits stop, and your pills will stop coming. And that’s going to lead to a lot more problems then just a little stress and pain from sleeping without a mattress.
Exit Mike.
Jason
Prick.
Exit Jason, turning down a hall.
2. INT. BREAK ROOM – NIGHT
Yula and Dennis Sitting at a break table. Yula’s head is down, half asleep and Dennis is Playing with a paper football, aiming at Yula’s head.
Enter Jason.
Jason
Hey
Yula
Mmphm…
Dennis.
Hey…
Dennis Flicks the paper football, getting another one lodged in Yula’s Hair.
Dennis
Score!
Yula
I swear to GOD if you don’t stop flicking those fucking paper squares at me, I’m gonna break your fucking stereo.
Dennis stops flicking the paper at her.
Dennis
You’re no fun.
Jason takes a seat beside Yula.
Pg. 3
Yula
Hey Jason.
Jason
Hey Yula. You seem about as dead as I feel.
Yula Groans.
Yula
No more dead people, please…
Dennis
She just had to deal with pulling seven corpses from a big wreck up on the I-40 to the morgue. It was pretty bad.
Yula
Gas Tanker just up and exploded. The bodies…. They were all
twisted and horrible… I remember seeing them clawing at the windows… Those god damn firefighters couldn’t save them all… I couldn’t save them…
Yula Slumps down some more.
Dennis
Come on, cheer up… You’re bound to run into dead bodies as a paramedic…
Yula
That doesn’t make it any easier. One of the bodies was a kid. About 10-years-old. I could’ve saved her but she died on the ride here…
Jason
Uh.. W-well… This is kind of a dark topic… Maybe we should just change the subject.
Jason looks Nervous.
Dennis
Oh shit… You didn’t take your pill did you.
Jason
Of course I did…
Dennis
Jason thats a lie I know you, you really need-
