IT'S TRUE, SHIRLEY. BUT YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THE PERIMETER OF THE INFIRMARY IS OFF LIMITS TO UNESCORTED PATIENTS. AS FOR THE DANGEROUS ONES, THEY ARE ISOLATED IN A SEPARATE WING.

SORRY BUT I'M JUST A MEDICAL INTERN. I DON'T GET TO STAY OFF SITE.

DO YOU ENJOY THIS JOB? I MEAN… HERE?

THEY DIDN'T LEAVE ME MUCH CHOICE, YOU KNOW. I WAS FUNDED THROUGH MED SCHOOL BY THE GOVERNMENT AND, IN EXCHANGE, I HAVE TO WORK WHERE THEY TELL ME FOR TEN YEARS. I WAS ASSIGNED TO PLAIN ROCK INSTEAD OF A STATE HOSPITAL, THAT'S IT.

AND… IT'S ROUGH?

WORSE. BUT I… I MIGHT BE ABLE TO BUY MY WAY OUT… TO BE ABLE TO QUIT THIS PLACE AND GO INTO PRACTICE ON MY OWN.

HOW WOULD YOU DO THAT?

THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT, SHIRLEY. I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU A FAVOUR.

OF COURSE, RALPH.

WOULD YOU STAY HERE A FEW MORE DAYS? JUST UNTIL YOU'VE FULLY RECOVERED, OF COURSE. AND IT WOULD… ERR… DO ME GOOD TOO.

OK, SURE.
