HOSPITAL: Every Way But One (test results)

INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY

DR. RICHARDS

We got the results.

BLAKE

And I'm a perfect match, aren’t I?

DR. RICHARDS

No. Not exactly.

BLAKE

How can that be? You said any close relative.

DR. RICHARDS

Yes. Yes, I did.

BLAKE

I'm her father. How much closer a match could I be?

DR. RICHARDS

Mr. Blake, before Melinda was born, how long had you and your late wife been together?

BLAKE

What? What's that got to do with anything?

DR. RICHARDS

How long?

BLAKE

Two years. Except for a few weeks when... Oh no.

DR. RICHARDS

You were separated?

BLAKE

Briefly. But it's not like we dated other people.

DR. RICHARDS

You're sure of that?

BLAKE

I was... Look, Doctor. Melinda is my daughter. In every way that counts.

DR. RICHARDS

In every way but one, I'm afraid.
