A Two-Second Prank

CAMERA FOLLOWS ROMANO DOWN TWO FLIGHTS OF STAIRS, PAST SOME DOCTORS, PATIENTS, ETC.

COMES AROUND A CORNER AND FACES:

Benton, Corday, Weaver, Malucci, Greene, Kovac, and all the nurses. A stretcher is behind them with some guy-face unseen- and a lot of blood.

SHOT OF ROMANO'S FACE

What the hell is this?

SHOT OF CAST

Corday: We've had enough of your crap, Robert. We're on strike.

ROMANO'S FACE

Romano: Oh are you? Benton, you agree with this?

CAST

Benton: Yes, yes. We're striking until you're gone.

ROMANO LOOKS BEHIND THEM AT THE STRETCHER. BLOOD DRIPS TO THE FLOOR.

Romano: So you're just going to let that guy die?

CAST

All nod and mutter agreement.

ROMANO

Looks again, shrugs.

Romano: To damn many people in this city anyway.

Turns and leaves.

CAST

Nurses walk off in disgust. Greene and Corday walk off in one direction, Weaver, Malucci, and Kovac in another. Kovac almost looks amused. Only Benton left, staring down the hall. He shakes his head in disbelief.

Benton. So much for that. At least he didn't fire us. Come on, Carter.

STRETCHER

Carter's head jerks up, hair a mess, obviously had been sleeping and oblivious to the whole ordeal.

Carter: Huh? What'd I miss?
