INT. HOSPITAL HALLWAY – DAY

Nurse Ellis is hurrying by. Mr. Collins stops her.

Collins

Nurse?

Nurse Ellis

Mr. Collins. You're still here?

Collins

Until I get an answer.

Nurse Ellis

I'm sorry. I was just -

Collins

Please don't avoid me.

Nurse Ellis

I'm not -

Collins

Of course you are. You and everybody else.

Nurse Ellis

Look. You should really ask the doctors.

Collins

The doctors won't answer me.

Nurse Ellis

They might not know yet.

Collins

Don't give me that. They know.

Nurse Ellis

You can't be -

Collins

You know.

Nurse Ellis

Mr. Collins. Please.

Collins

Is she going to make it or isn't she?

Nurse Ellis

That's not for me to say. I'm sorry. But I really do have to go.
