INT. WAITING ROOM- HOSPITAL- NIGHT

The holding place of all chaos- Standing room only in this waiting room. A family of three with the wife about to pop a fourth argues with the NURSE at the front desk.

A few homeless people sleep in the chairs, taking value sitting from the injured and sick. Coughing, crying and moans of pain mix with the nonstop chatter.

VIOLET sits on a coffee table holding a bag of frozen corn against her side and a zip-lock of melting ice against her jaw.

Carrying a clipboard NURSE EDNA stands in front of the crowd. A hush rolls through as they all desperately wait to hear their name being called.

NURSE EDNA: Talbot, Sophie Talbot?

VIOLET raises her zip-lock ice pack in the air.
