(Wednesday morning- at the Planet. Shane and Dana sitting are sitting at a table. Alice comes walking up behind Shane.)

Dana: hey, Al. Has Kit called you yet?

Alice: My day’s been great, thanks for asking. (Dana still looks at Alice expectantly, waiting for her answer)  No, not yet. I’m really worried.

Shane: I thought you said Bette would be fine.

Alice: Yea, but… i’ve never known Bette to do something like this. and I’m also worried about Tina. I thought she was gonna pass out when Kit said that Bette was on an IV.

Shane: yea, i’m a lttle worried too. She’s probably gonna blame herself for this.

Alice: (shrugs) well…

Dana: Alice!

Alice: I know…(sighs)…i know…(cell phone rings)…Kit??..oh, hi Tina…no, not yet…she said she’d call you…ok, i will. bye. (hangs up and looks back at Shane and Dana)

Dana: how’d she sound?

Alice: worried…sad

(still Wednesday, at the hospital- Kit is sitting in a chair outside Bette’s room. Tina walks up)

Kit: Tina? What are you doing here, girl?

Tina: I was worried. How is she doing? She awake?

Kit: She woke up about an hour ago. Doctor is in with her. Tina, I was gonna call you. ya didn’t have come here.

Tina: I got sick of waiting. I couldn’t concentrate on anything else.

Kit: I understand, but (door opens and the doctor comes out, Kit stands to talk)

Dr: Ms. Porter…(looks at Tina) hello, who’s this?

Tina: (reaches out to shake his hand) Tina Kennard, Bette’s…uh..(drops his hand)

Kit: Tina’s a close friend.

Dr: well, Ms. Porter, would you like to talk in private? or…(Tina looks like she’s going to say something, and Kit notices)

Kit: (talks quickly) right over there? good…(takes the doctor by the arm, and walks away, glances at Tina as the doctor explains the situation. Tina tries to peek inside of Bette’s room, but when she catches Kit’s eye, decides to just stand still… minutes later, Kit comes back. She puts her hand on the door, but turns to Tina before walking in)  Tina, I’m gonna talk to Bette a mintue. Wait out here, please?  (Tina nods uncomfortably, like she wants to protest. Kit walks in, but the door doesn’t close all the way)

(inside Bette’s room. Kit walks up to the bed. Bette’s eyes are closed, but they open as Kit touches her hand)
