Izzy stands holding a stack of folders. Alex steps onto the elevator and the doors shut behind him.
������������������������ ALEX
��������� Soo?
����
������������������������ IZZY
��������� Soo?
������������������������ ALEX
I saw that you had the night off and I had the night off? About that date?
������������������� ���� IZZY
��������� Did you apologize to Ripley?
������������������������ ALEX
��������� Yes.
������������������������ IZZY
��������� Okay.
������������������������ ALEX
��������� So, that little Japanese restaurant?
������������������������ IZZY
��������� Pick me up around 7.
The elevators ding open and Izzy exits. Alex gives Izzy a little smirk.
������������������������ ALEX
��������� Absolutely.
INT.HOSPITAL ? PIT
Meredith pulls out a piece of paper and sets a thread and a needle on it. Jacob, a man in his 30?s sits on a hospital bed in front of her. Derek walks past, curious to see if what Addison said is true.
������������������������ DEREK
��������� Hey.
Meredith turns around.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Hey.
������������������������ DEREK
��������� Have you been down here a lot?
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Not really.Just today.Why?
������������������������ DEREK
��������� Just wondering.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Have you heard something?
������������������������ DEREK
��������� No. Have you?
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� No.
������������������������ DEREK
��������� See ya later.
Derek leaves. Meredith turns back to Jacob.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� That was weird.
INT.HOSPITAL ? PATIENT?S ROOM
Izzy stands in a patient?s room, there are children everywhere. A woman, Barb, lays in the bed, smiling tiredly, a man, Quintin, tries to tell the kids to stop moving. There are six kids, Christy, Colleena, Betty, Thomas, James, and Jackson.
������������������������ QUINTIN
��������� Come on guys. Settle down. Settle down.
Thomas goes over to Izzy.
������������������������ THOMAS
Did you know that there?s one week until Christmas?
Izzy kneels down so that she is on Thomas?s level.
�������������� IZZY
Is that so?
�������������� THOMAS
Uh huh.
�������������� IZZY
Have you told Santa what you wanted, yet?
�������������� THOMAS (proudly)
I wrote him a letter.
Addison walks into the room.
������������������������ ADDISON
���� ���� Hey Barb, Hey Quintin.
������������������������ BARB
��������� Hi, Dr. Sheppard.
Addison smiles tightly. Izzy stands back up.
������������������������ ADDISON
��������� It?s Dr. Montgomery, now.
������������������������ BARB
Sorry Dr. Montgomery.
�������������� ADDISON
Dr. Stevens, what have we got?
�������������� IZZY
Barb is 35 and is pregnant-
�������������� BARB
Again.
�������������� IZZY
With baby number seven. Her first two babies were natural births. The last five were cesarean.
�������������� BARB
I?ve got the scars to prove it.
�������������� IZZY
They want it to be their last child.
�������������� QUINTIN
We can?t handle anymore.
���� ��������� IZZY
So, we?re going to go in, do the cesarean and then tie her tubes while we?re in there.
�������������� BARB
We love kids. Really.But 7?
�������������� ADDISON
Is too many for any two parents to take care.It?s understandable.
�������������� QUINTIN
As it is Barb isn?t working, we can?t afford a baby sitter for so many kids. And her mother comes to help as much as she can.
�������������� ADDISON
I understand, whole heartedly.
Izzy?s pager goes off. Izzy looks down, and then back at Addison.
������������������������ ADDISON
Go on, Dr. Stevens. Your VIP patient is still here.
�������������� IZZY
Thanks, Dr. Montgomery.
Izzy leaves the room.
INT.HOSPITAL - HALLWAY
Izzy jogs to Katie?s room and says hi to the two security guards outside before entering the room. Katie lays in the bed and her dad sits in a chair, reading a money magazine.
������������������������ IZZY
��������� Hey there.What?s up?
������������������������ KATIE
��������� I?m bored.
������������������������ IZZY
��������� I have patients, ya know.
������������������������ KATIE
��������� I know.
������������������������ IZZY
Actually.Maybe? No, you wouldn?t be interested.
������������������������ KATIE
��������� Interested in what?
������������������������ IZZY
Well, there?s a patient here with 6 kids, if you?re interested in playing games with them.
�������������� KATIE
Normal kids.
�������������� IZZY
Normal kids. If you?re interested and the two muscle guys?ll let them in.
�������������� KATIE
Absolutely. Tell Jack to come in.
Izzy opens the door.
������������������������ IZZY
��������� Jack? Katie wants to talk to you.
Jack enters the room.
������������������������ KATIE
Jack, Izzy says that there are a few kids here. Can they come and color with me?
�������������� JACK
I don?t know Katie?
�������������� KATIE
This is such a small room and you can come in here with us the whole time. Please?
�������������� JACK
All right, all right.
�������������� KATIE
Yay!
Izzy smiles and leaves the room, in search of the kids.
INT.HOSPITAL ? BARB?S ROOM
Barb looks even more exhausted and Quintin is trying to get all of the kids on the bed with Barb. Izzy enters the room.
������������������������ IZZY
��������� I have a question for you guys.
������������������������ BARB
We?ll see if I?ll be able to answer it. These guys have been going nuts ever since they found out that that child star, Katie is here.
�������������� IZZY
Actually, that?s what I wanted to talk to you about. How would you guys like to be childless for a little while?
�������������� BARB (suspiciously)
What do you mean?
�������������� IZZY
Katie had surgery last week and is still here for observations. She wanted to know if I could take your kids to come visit her. There would be plenty of supervision. Her dad and the security guards.
�������������� BARB
Kids.KIDS! How would you like to visit another little girl?
�������������� JACKSON
Could we, mommy?
�������������� QUINTIN
Barb? Are you sure?
�������������� BARB
Peace and quiet.
�������������� QUINTIN
Take the kids. Please.
INT.HOSPITAL ? ELEVATOR
Meredith stands holding several folders and leaning against the back of the elevator. The doors ding open to reveal Derek. He smiles and steps in.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Are you stalking me, Dr. Sheppard?
�������������� ��������� DEREK
��������� Me? I just enjoy using the elevator.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� That?s what all stalkers say.
������������������������ DEREK
��������� I?m just a friendly stalker, anyway.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� So where are you off to, now?
������������������������ DEREK
��������� Surgery was postponed.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Lucky.
������������������������ DEREK
��������� Not quite.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Why?s that?
������������������������ DEREK
��������� If I were lucky, you?d be going home, too.
������������������������ MEREDITH
I have to work late tonight. Since I had the morning off and all.
�������������� DEREK
Don?t worry. I?ll be back in a few hours.
The doors ding open and Derek offers a half smile.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Good-bye Derek.
������������������������ DEREK
��������� Good-bye Meredith.
Meredith giggles as the doors close. Bailey enters the elevator and gives Derek a disdainful look. Meredith clears her throat and looks at the floor.
������������������������ BAILEY
��������� You?ve been running labs a lot.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� That?s what you?ve been assigning me to.
������������������������ BAILEY
��������� You?ll be scrubbing in with me.
������������������������ MEREDITH
��������� Thank you, Dr. Bailey.
INT.HOSPITAL ? KATIE?S ROOM
Izzy opens the door to Katie?s room.
������������������������ IZZY
I brought some people here who want to meet you.
�������������� KATIE
Excellent.
Izzy opens the door the rest of the way and the kids filter in, talking and laughing. The climb on chairs and the foot of Katie?s bed. The kids sit in awe of being with Katie.
������������������������ KATIE
��������� Want to play Life?
������������������������ CHRISTY
��������� I love that game!
INT.HOSPITAL ? BARB?S ROOM
Barb and Quintin sit, talking softly to each other when Addison enters the room.
������������������������ ADDISON
��������� Where did all of the kids go?
������������������������ BARB
��������� Dr. Stevens took them.
������������������������ QUINTIN
��������� To visit with her VIP patient.
������������������������ ADDISON
��������� And that?s fine with you two?
������������������������ BARB
��������� We just wanted some peace and quiet.
������������������������ ADDISON
That was good of Dr. Stevens to take your kids.
�������������� BARB
Way beyond the call of duty.
�������������� ADDISON
I?m going to send one of the interns in to get you prepped for surgery.
