DOUG (CONT’D)
I should’ve been in that bed right next to you.
BANG. The sound of a door slams shut. Doug quickly wipes his tears. He coughs. He turns around, his eyes are red.
Sandy holds a briefcase in her hands and a crumpled up piece of paper. Sandys eyes are beat red. She has mascara lines running down her face.
SANDY
Doug, I didn’t know you were here. I’ll go.
Doug stands up. He grabs his briefcase and puts it over his shoulder.
DOUG
No, stay. I have to leave and fly out for the rest of my meetings. (Beat) I just wanted to see him before it’s too late.
Sandy rubs her bottom eyelashes. Doug walks over to her, grabbing her arm.

Doug glances at the crumpled up piece of paper.…show more content… MORRIS’S PRIVATE ROOM - NIGHT

SANDY
Thank you for calling.
OLIVIA
Sorry it was late, I just wanted you to know.
Sandy yawns.
SANDY

OLIVIA
We gave him medicine for his double pneumonia, he should be fine. You can go home Mrs. Goodman.
