Barbara:When I was a kid I invented a magnetic flashlight clip so I could read under the covers. This clip and I went around the world together. The Shire, Sweet Valley High, Terabithia.

Cathy:And never to a friend's house, huh?

Barbara:Uncalled for.

[blacksurvivalnostalgichanges]

Cathy: (starts bleeding out) Shit.

Luke:Well, who heals the doctor.

Alex:The clown Pagliacci went to the doctor.

Luke:But doctor, I am a doctor.

JP:But doctor, I octor.

Adriana:Trans fact! Today is the anniversary of the death of Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Abe Lincoln.

Mai:....why is that a trans fact? Am I allowed to ask that?

Silvia:Good fact!

Mai:That’s not a good fact, in my opinion!

Laura:Trans fact:Every day is trans tuesday.

Mai:That’s- that’s fine, but I don’t think that’s a very good fact to say, trans fact, Lee Harvey Oswald was assassinated-

Laura:You don’t support trans tuesday?

Mai:That’s not what I’m saying!

Laura:Are you transphobic?

Mai:I’m not transphobic, I’m not sure how we got to this conclusion!

Cathy:Trans fact! Colorblind people can’t hear green.

Mai:You’re just saying nonsense. You’re just- you’re not saying anything of any substance.

Adela:Trans fact, Abe Lincoln once pardoned a man for bestiality. The man was fucking a horse.

Mai:Please don’t share this sort of information to me. I don’t want to know.

Luke:Trans fact, Abraham Lincoln was trans, source:just trust me.

Camilo:I’m not american, why so many trans facts?

Mai:Why do- it’s not an american thing to believe in trans rights.

Adriana:Trans fact, go rob a bank.

(Mai puts her head in her hands.)

Cathy:(hands him a clipboard) Fill it in to the best of your abilities. If you don’t know anything, just put anything in, I’ll try my best to excuse it. (She walks into the room Isol’s laid down, passed out in.)

Hyunwoo:Straightforward enough. “Full name:”. Shit.

(He writes down Isol Pine.)

Hyunwoo:”Allergy:”. Spiders. Blood type?? Okay, what blood type does he look like... AB positive.

Hyunwoo:”Star sign”. Uhhh... C Minor. “Rising sign”. Green. “Moon”?? Up there. “MBTI”.... HDMI.

Hyunwoo:”If your life were a book, who would be the writer?” (He shoves his head into the room.) Hey, is this an actual hospital?!

Cathy:What do you mean- (He hands her the paper.) Oh. Haha, that’s my Buzzfeed test, I mixed up papers.

[blacksurvivalnostalgichanges]

Cathy:Good day.

Rozzi:See, you could do that. Or slowly go up. Like, veeeeE-

Luke:VERY GOOD DAY, EVERYONE!

Cathy:Wooooo!

Emma:Yes! Finally!

[blacksurvivalnostalgichanges]

Cathy:Where did you get hurt in?

(Isol and Hyunwoo simulaneously answer “factory” and “clavicle” respectively.)

Hyunwoo:Ah. D... (snickering) do you mean the place in the body, or the place...

Cathy:The place in your body! How else can I treat you?

Shoichi:Could someone tell me what “dad rock” is? I’ve heard it’s stuff like Arctic Monkeys or The 1975 but I’ve only seen seventeen year olds listen to these.

Lenox:Chumbawumba.

Shoichi:No need to make odd noises, I’m just asking a question.

Cathy:3 Doors Down?

Shoichi:I asked my neighbors already, yes, but they didn’t know. Does anyone here have a working definition?

Adela:The Who?

Shoichi:That’s what I’m asking you all.

[blacksurvivalnostalgichanges]

Cathy:-we’ve been working together for a bit now. Barbara’s the brain in our team.

Barbara:(grimacing) Just the brain, everything else is hurt right now.

Cathy:(slaps her in the back playfully) Aw don’t worry, you’ll be fine!

(Barbara spits out a little bit of blood.)
