(unpleasant tone)
L-l-luv-ly.
Ruth has a serious look on her face.
RUTH
I know she’s tough, but she’s the best.
Ruth picks up Morris’s untouched baby food.
RUTH (CONT’D)
You don’t like it?
Looking at the jar of baby food.
MORRIS
N-n-o I h-ha-te it.
RUTH
It’s the only food you can keep down.
MORRIS
C-c-can u d-do me a f-f-fa-vor?
Morris stares out the window at a milkshake shop.
INT. REHABILITATION CENTER BEDROOM - DAY
Morris is in bed drinking a milkshake. He has a smile on his face. He is in his glory, the milkshake tastes delicious and he could keep it down.
Later. Dr. Nettle is outraged, he stands in the room yelling at Ruth.
DR. NETTLE
HE COULD’VE DIED!
RUTH
But he didn’t.
Dr. Nettle sees the empty cup laying on …show more content…
Nettle as he leaves the room. Dr. Nettle slams the door shut. In the b.g. we hear Dr. Nettle yell at Ruth. Morris clenches his teeth. He reaches for his stomach pump, his hands are shaking.
John watches Morris while he devours his baby back ribs. He takes a bite from his stack of ribs. Holding the bone in one hand and licking his other fingers. An order menu is on his bed.
JOHN
M’m! My food tastes so good.
John takes another bite from his ribs. Morris ignores John’s comment. Morris focuses on his stomach pump, trying with all his might to pull it out.
JOHN (CONT’D)
Maybe you shouldn’t do that.
MORRIS
Shut up John.
He rips it out from his stomach, tossing it to the ground. A pool of blood oozes out from his midsection. His white sheets are drenched in blood. Blood pours from the hospital bed onto the floor.
Later. Morris has a smirk on his face. His clean hands are by his side. Dr. Nettle is outraged with anger. Ruth stands in between Dr. Nettle and Morris.
DR. NETTLE
DID YOU HELP HIM WITH THIS?
RUTH
No, I was with another patient.
Dr. Nettle wears latex gloves. He holds up the bloody stomach pump.
DR. NETTLE
Looks like we have no choice but to bring you in for an emergency surgery to reattach
