At the Abbot house, Bright is on the couch. Zoned in on the TV, the phone rings and he doesn't even notice it. Rose answers the phone. It's the doctor from the hospital in Denver. Rose: "Hello? Yes, this is she.… WHAT? What happened? Is she OK?" (The doctor explains what happened.) "Oh My! OK sir, we will be there as soon as possible." (She hangs up the phone with tears from her eyes.) "Bright," (there's no answer,) "Bright! Get your coat."
Bright: "Wow, what happened?"
Rose: "Your sisters in the hospital, we have to go and get your father, now lets go." (Now Rose is just sobbing with the tears covering her face."
Bright: "OK, I'll drive." Bright and Rose get into the car and drive to his fathers practice, bright tells his mother to stay in the car. He walks into the office and right passed his Aunt. He walks into his fathers office, at the time, there are no patients. He asks his dad to get his coat and come with him. Harry: "What's going on Bright?"
Bright: "Amy's in the hospital, she was in a car accident, come on."
Harry: (Rushing to get his things.) "Where's your mother?"
Bright: "I told her to stay in the car.
Harry: "Ok lets go," (to Linda on his way out.) Please take the rest of my patients, I have an emergency, I'll call you later when I have more information.
He and Bright walk out the door, Linda doesn't say a word. It's silence the whole ride over to Denver. The radio isn't even on. When they get to the hospital, they take the stairs to the 3rd floor, they thought that that I'd be faster. Harry: "Excuse me. My name is Dr. Harold Abbot, my daughter is here she came in about an hour ago."
Nurse: "Oh, yes, Abbot, Humm, Oh, she went to the Lab for some more X-rays. It'll be about ten minutes. If you'd like you can take a seat over there," (pointing at the rows of chairs in the waiting room.)
Harry: "Thank you," (while holding Rose's hand as the sit down.)
Bright sits down for a second, but soon after, he gets up, he wants to make a phone call.
Harry: "Where are you going?"
Bright: "To find a phone, I have to call someone,"
Harry: "Hurry back."
Bright: "I will."
Bright walks up to a nurse in the nurses station. Bright: "Excuse me, could you tell me where I can find a phone?"
Nurse: "Right around the corner there should be a phone."
Bright: "Thanks."
Nurse: "Your welcome."
Bright finds the phone, puts his money in and dials the number. He is calling Ephram. (Imagine that there is a split screen, so that you can see the two talking.)
Madison: "Hello? Brown residence."
Bright: (clearing his throat.) "Is Ephram there?"
Madison: "Yes, can you hold on a moment?"
Bright: "Yeah."
In the background you can hear Madison calling for Ephram. Ephram runs into the living room.
Ephram: "Yeah?"
Madison: "Phone, it's for you."
Ephram: (picks up the phone,) "Hello?"
Bright: "Ephram, it's Bright," (his voice slightly shaken.)
Ephram: "Hey, What's wrong?"
Bright: "It's Amy.....She.."
Ephram: (interrupts,) "Did something happen to her?"
Bright: "She got in a car accident,"
Ephram: "Oh my god, where is she?"
Bright: "She's at Harbor Point, in Denver, can you come up as soon as you can?"
Ephram: "Yeah, I'm leaving now," (he hangs up the phone and grabs his coat off the back of the chair,) "I've gotta go, I'll be back later."
Madison: "Ephram, wait."
Ephram ignoring her, runs out of the back door, to his car. He's got tears in his eyes. He starts the car and drives off with Madison watching him until she can't see him anymore.
BREAK!
