PART, 11 HOSPITAL ROOM2 Dad is in a hospital bed, being monitored by machinery.3 CASEY APARTMENT—DAY4 Rebecca is holding the phone. She’s on hold.5 KEVIN What did the nurse say?6 REBECCA Dad’s in pretty bad shape. She said to hurry back.7 Someone answers Rebecca.8 REBECCA Hello. . . I need a cab right away. It’s an emergency.9 OUTSIDE THE CASEY APARTMENT10 Rebecca and Kevin rush out to the sidewalk and look for the taxi. Both look upset.11 REBECCA (stressed out) Kevin. . . I’m sorry, we shouldn’t be arguing at a time like this. We 12 need each other.13 Kevin turns away. He looks down at the sidewalk. Now a cab comes slowly along the street. Kevin steps out14 into the street and waves.15 HOSPITAL ROOM16 Dad’s breathing is weak. His vital signs are being monitored on screens above and beside his bed. The room17 is darkened.18 HOSPITAL CORRIDOR19 DR. LINCOLN Let me take you to your father. Before you see him there’s something I want 20 to tell you. Your father has just had another heart attack, and at this point it does 21 not look good.22 Rebecca and Kevin stand in front of the doctor. Rebecca is visibly upset.23 REBECCA (fearful) What are you saying? He made it through the first one...24 DR. LINCOLN Well… not entirely. And the second heart attack was more massive.25 REBECCA Aren’t there any new drugs you could give him?26 DR. LINCOLN There are new drugs, but they won’t help. . . not in his current condition.27 REBECCA I can’t believe that there’s…28 DR. LINCOLN I’m very sorry. You should probably notify any other members of the family.29 Rebecca reacts and turns to Kevin.30 HOSPITAL ROOM31 The room is darkened. Dad’s breathing is weak. Kevin and Rebecca are at his bedside. The door opens. A32 priest walks in. Rebecca joins him and they talk very quietly. 33 PRIEST Hello. I’m Father O’Connor. 34 REBECCA Oh, Father, thank you for coming... 35 PRIEST I want you to know I’m here for you and your family. (looking toward the bed) Is this 36 your father? 37 REBECCA Yes. 38 PRIEST Can we talk for a minute?39 The priest motions them outside.40 HOSPITAL WAITING AREA41 The three sit down. Kevin again shows no emotion.42 PRIEST Tell me about your father’s condition. 43 REBECCA (exhales) My father just had his second serious heart attack in the last two days. 44 PRIEST I’m so sorry… It must be very difficult for you. Are you very close to your 45 father? 46 REBECCA Yes. Kevin lives with my dad. I did, too, until recently. We’re all pretty close. 47 PRIEST And your mother...? 48 REBECCA My mother died of lung cancer almost twelve years ago. 49 PRIEST What a loss. Now, are there any other family members besides the two of you?50 REBECCA Not really. There are some relatives in Ireland, but we’ve never met them. We51have a great aunt on my mother’s side, and. . . uh, my father’s brother, Brendan...52 PRIEST (jumping in) Oh, your father has a brother?53 Rebecca nods “yes.”54 PRIEST Does he know your father’s in the hospital?55 REBECCA No, he lives in Illinois. He has a farm there. My father and uncle don’t talk to56each other. They haven’t for years. 57 PRIEST Maybe this is the time for them to make peace. . . Perhaps you should call him. 58 REBECCA I don’t want to upset my father. Maybe Kevin and I need to talk before we do 59 anything. 60 PRIEST Give it some thought. I will begin my prayers for your father. God bless you. 61 REBECCA Thanks, Father...62 The priest leaves and walks down the hail. PART 263 HOSPITAL HALLWAY64 Rebecca is talking on a public phone.65 REBECCA Yes, I need the number for a Brendan Casey.66 FARM—DAY67 We see peaceful countryside and a red barn and silo.
