Pop His Pill Scene 7
SCENE 7: ROSE FLIRTS WITH CALEB
INT. NURSING ROOM FLOOR-DAY
Caleb needs to do the morning vital signs for his patients but he can’t find the blood pressure machine, he bumps into his nursing classmate, Rose who at that time was carrying some kinda surgical stainless steel container.
CALEB
Rose have you seen
the blood pressure machine?
It seems some of
our classmates are hiding it again.
ROSE
Hi Caleb. How’s my hair?
CALEB
(Takes a quick look at
Rose’s braided hair)
Does that hurts?
How can you still
think with your hair
all pulled up like that?
ROSE
Fact check. My brains
are not at my head but
right at my heart.
I always think with
love in my mind.
(Eyes Caleb from top to
bottom)
CALEB
You mean brain?
You only have one.
Anyway, as I was saying,
can you help me find
where the blood pressure
machine is? I need to get
their vitals before I can
give their meds.
ROSE
The answer is yes.
I’ll do anything you want
and that’s including
whatever church you want
to do a forever with.
I just need a really
quick two seconds to
find Nurse Pam and
figure out what to do
with this thingy.
(Shows the content of
the stainless steel container,
it has a heart, and shockingly
it was still beating)
CALEB
That thingy looks like
a beating organ to me,
a heart perhaps? Where
did that thingy pop from?
ROSE
Obviously, it pops
from somewhere,
so I went into this room of
the bingo girl who’s
always in pink sweater,
you know the one who
wins the bingo afternoon
game all the time,
and who gives everyone
a hard time as she can’t
pop her pills down,
it takes her a gallon of
apple sauce to swallow
a single pill. So anyway,
I was like, I’m Rose, you got
lucky, I’m your Nursing student
today, and I’m here with
a gallon of apple sauce so
you can choke all your pills
down, but first, I see some
thingy right where you’re
sitting, so first we’re just gonna
quickly change your bed
sheet and we’re all apple
sauce pill popping set to go.
So she was like just
sitting there and not
even reacting an inch,
like just technically staring
at me. So I was like,
(Goes into her sassy mode
complete with hand actions)
Hey bingo girl, butt out
from that bed! And that’s
when it happened.
CALEB
What?
ROSE
She rushed like this
towards me.
(Pulled Caleb’s body
close to hers)
At that moment, Ashton was slowly walking past Caleb and Rose. He saw everything. He turned around and he and Caleb made an eye contact. Caleb in his eyes was like “I don’t know what just happened”, Ashton quickly smiles, and looks down. Caleb knew that Ashton got jealous.
ROSE
And then she coughed.
And this thingy popped out.
CALEB
Her heart pops out of
her mouth?
ROSE
Are you always busy day dreaming
about me? On day one here
Instructor Libby says people
here are walking tragedy that
any moment, anything can
pop out, including their hearts,
I guess.
Rose took Caleb’s hand and pulled him inside the linen room, locking the confused Caleb at her arms, she pulled out the blood pressure machine hidden beneath the stacks of linen, and that’s when they caught the shocked Olive hiding at the corner with her stash of cigarette boxes.
CALEB
Miss Olive?
Rose panics, she was about to scream. Olive rushed towards her and choke her with a hand towel.
OLIVE
I’m just curious,
did any of you guys
administered any smile wrinkle
reducing pills?
I kinda want some.
If it’s not a trouble,
I will really appreciate it
if you can give me some
in your next pill popping rounds.
In return, you guys can
split this.
Hands Rose a clear umbrella.
ROSE
This is mine. See my name
on the handle. How did you
get this?
OLIVE
My dear Rose, you’re
not the only Rose in the
world. Some blooms for love
others are doomed by love.
(Winks at Caleb)
