SCENE #11: CONTINUED (2)

AMY
Yeah. Undergrad. I’m an undergrad.

REID
What dorm are you in?

AMY
Oh, I’m not doing the dorm thing. With my mom and all that - -

REID
Oh, right. That makes sense.
(then, sincere)
You’re a good daughter.

Earning another blush from Amy. Then, a lightbulb:

AMY
Omigod. You should totally live with my brother. He just got this awesome apartment back in Everwood and he’s looking for a roommate - -

REID
Where’s Everwood?

AMY
You’ve never been? Oh, it’s great. It’s only 25 minutes from A&M and it’s like … homey even if you’re not from there? You know, ‘cause it’s small. Well, not small. More like quaint. But not in a lame, grandma way. I mean my grandma’s a biker. Seriously. She has a Harley.
(then, exhausted by herself)
I can give you his number.

REID
That’d be great.

She quickly grabs her pen and notebook from her bag and starts writing it down, just as ROSE is wheeled out by a NURSE.

NURSE
Amy . . .

Amy wheels around, instantly switching into “cancer” mode.

AMY (CONT’D)
(to Reid)
Sorry. I have to take care of this.

REID
Of course - -

AMY
There’s just always so much information . . .
(to Rose, overly mothering)
How are you doint? Are you okay?

ROSE
I’d be better if you didn’t use that baby voice on me.

AMY
(quietly, to Reid)
She’s always like this right after. It takes a lot out of her.

REID
Understandable.
(then, to Rose)
You take care of yourself, Mrs. A.

He gives her a kiss on the cheek and heads off. Amy checks that booty one last time before turning back to the nurse.

AMY
It seemed shorter today.

NURSE
A little. And you know, Wednesday is her last chemo appointment, so - -

AMY
I know, but then how long until we can get the CT scan?

ROSE
Amy, let’s do this later. I’m tired - -

AMY
(mothering)
Just two minutes, okay?
(then, back to the nurse)
I understand you can’t take out the port-a-cath until the scan comes back clean? Is that right?

NURSE
Actually, we’ll probably want to do a PET scan instead of a CT.

AMY
What does the PET scan do? What does PET scan even mean?

Amy starts jotting down notes - - something she’s clearly been doing all summer long. Rose looks mildly annoyed by it all.

NURSE
It stands for Positron Emission Tomography. You can talk to your dad about it, but basically, if there’s any fibrous tissue left over from the cancer, the PET scan will be able to tell us if it’s active or not.

AMY
And how long will that scan take?

ROSE
Oh for heaven’s sake. . .

NURSE
We won’t be able to do it for at least six weeks. Call Doctor Chao. She’ll go over everything you need to know.

AMY
Okay. Thanks. You ready Mom?

ROSE
I’ve been ready for ten minutes.

Amy smiles patiently, which only irks Rose more.

AMY
Then let’s hit it.

As Amy begins wheeling her mother away, we PUSH IN on Rose, exhausted and looking somewhat harder than last year . . .

SCENE #12: INT. BRIGHT’S APARTMENT. DAY. (D1)

Bright is leading a ridiculously hot girl, YOLI, around the half-furnished apartment. She’s clearly more interested in Bright than the apartment.
