SCENES

THE HOSPITAL: Discovering abuse

 

Ellen Burke: Doctor? My daughter. How is she?

Doctor Lee: You're Samantha Burke's mother?

Ellen Burke: Yes. Will she be OK?

Doctor Lee: We're doing some tests.

Ellen Burke: Tests? But she only has -

Doctor Lee: Internal bleeding. Maybe worse.

Ellen Burke: No. That can't be. She hardly had a mark on her when I brought her in.

Doctor Lee: Why don't you tell me what happened?

Ellen Burke: She... She was climbing on a bookshelf and it fell.

Doctor Lee: Fell how?

Ellen Burke: Uh... Forward…

Doctor Lee: On top of her head?

Ellen Burke: I'm not sure.

Doctor Lee: Aren't you?

Ellen Burke: Why are you asking me all these questions?

Doctor Lee: You know, you're right. I'll leave that to the experts. (Walking away.)

Ellen Burke: Where are you going?

Doctor Lee: To call the police.

Ellen Burke: Wait!

Doctor Lee: Yes?

Ellen Burke: I didn't mean to do it. I can explain.

Doctor Lee: I'm sure you can. Don't worry; you'll get your chance. But your little girl's body tells a story of its own, and that's the one they'll hear from me.
