Nia:

Emma:
My rooms already like an Garden of Eden, so I dont I think I need to add

Nia:
You should learn to appreciate others more, Emma. I know its sudden, but,
weve been friends, since
when, 6th grade?
Emma:
I dont know, since the Renaissance maybe? *sarcastically*
Nia:
Im being serious here, Emma. Do you even consider me, once, as your best
friend? I was worried sick
when you were hit, thought maybe youd broken your leg or something.
Emma:
Well, gee, thanks. But, I dont need any sympathy from you.
Nia:
You know wh? The only reason Im here is because nobody else would
come. I felt sorry for you.
Emma:
*scoffs* You felt sorry for me?

At least I have some compassion. And one thing, open your eyes. Everybody
else just hates you.

Hanani:
She has an enlarge heart. And her heart is beginning to fail. It might have
been a virus that went
undetected. Im so sorry.
Amanda:
So, what happens now?
Hanani:
First, we need to simply monitor her, keep her comfortable. Eventually, she is
going to need a heart
transplant. I do have to warn you, that hearts are very hard to come by. And
the waiting list is long.

Adam:

Emma:
Well, the service here is terrible. And Im starving. Bring me a salad with
grilled chicken, dressing side,

Emma:
My mom were in a meeting in San Diego this morning, so, like, another
hour.
Hanani:
Mm. New phone?
Emma:
Yeah. Jealous, much?
Hanani:
*grabs the phone* dont you ever press her call button again. You
understand? You know what
happens to patients who cry wolf? We sell their organs for cash in the
black market. And split the
money. Right, Benji?
Benji:
Absolutely right. So we got a new organs to sell.

Bunk liver.

Emma:
Wait a minute. I recognized that voice. Youre the jerk who left me in the
elevator!
Adam:

Emma:
No. Dont smile like what you did was cute. It was a super douche move.
Here. You left your stupid
toothpicks on the counter. Next time, dont

stuff. When Adam said
Hall
Adam:
Ive been invited to a prom night tomorrow. You want to be my date?
Emma:

Adam:
Not exactly the reaction I expected.
Emma:
Look, I feel like I have to admit something to you. The truth is, Ive never
been in a relationship thats
lasted more than three days. Its, personally, because I think I get
bored.
Adam:
I got to admit something, too. I dont actually know what day were on,
how long this is gonna last.
All we have is now, this moment. Nothing else is guaranteed.
Emma:
*sighs* Alright, Ill be your date. Of course, Ive never waited before, so

Room 7D
Najwa:
So, how high was the fever?
Hanani:
Got up to 103.
Najwa:
Oh, my god.
Hanani:
We did a chest x-ray. We gave him some blood tests. Everything has
been reassuring. Theres no
sign of infection.
Danial:
So, what caused the fever?

5
Hanani:
We stopped one of his medications that we gave him on admission
where fevers are a known side
effect. So my guess is that was the culprit.
Adam:
You guys need to relax. I feel totally fine now. Aside from the bunk liver
and the life threatening
illness, I am the picture of health. *chuckles*
Emma:
*chuckles*
Najwa:
Can I just ask, w-whats my son still doing here? I mean, I know were
waiting on a new liver but
since we have no idea when it will come
Danial:
We justjust want to take him home.
Najwa:
Unless you can give us a reason not to.
Hanani:
Just want to keep my eyes on him for a few more hours, make sure that
the fever doesnt creep
back up, but after that, you know, its completely your decision.
Najwa:
I mean, its up to youwherever you feel more comfortable, honey.
Adam:
I want to go home with you guys.
Najwa:
*sighs* great. Then your dad will deal with the paperwork, and well get
you hometoday.
Adam:

Danial:
*chuckles* thanks, doc.

Hold on a sec. Yo, tall guy, you got any fruit that isnt disgusting? These
bananas are brown. You know
what? Skip it. Im not even hungry.
Adam:
Emma.
Emma:
Alright, whats up?

Adam:
Can we talk for a second?
Emma:
What about?
Adam:
You know that I dont want to leave, right? Id much rather spend whatever
days I have left on this
earth making rotten bananas jokes with you. Its just my mom
Emma:
Oh, my god. Please. This is so not a conversation we need to have.
Adam:
I want to have it.
Emma:
I dont!
Adam:
Youre angry. I get it.
Emma:
No, Im not angry. In order to be angry, Id have to care. No offense or
anything, butI barely even
know you. This was just a hang.
Benji:
Tall guy, what do you have for today?

You can give it to her yourself. *sighs* *takes the envelope*
Thanks, Benji. ImIm ready.

Counter
Emma:
Benji, Ive got the message. Wheres Adam? I need to go see him.
Benji:
You cant. Hes in the ICU. Now, the next 48 hours are crucial. We are
monitoring him around the
clock.
Emma:
Why?
Benji:
To see if his body rejects the organ. He left this to you.
Emma:
What is this? Some sappy goodbye letter? Probably somePre-stated
dispensation?
Benji:
He signed this direct donation to you.
Emma:
I dont understand.
Benji:
Emma, if Adam doesnt make it, hes leaving you his heart.

Room 4B
Hanani:
What happened?
Erin:
She got drunk. I dont know where she got the alcohol.
Hanani:
I do not understand you, Emma. Did you come pre-wired to torture the
world?
Emma:
Im sorry Im a mess, okay? But not all of us can blow off steam by
playing darts.
Hanani:
I mean, besides the fact that youre heart patient and you shouldnt ever
be drinking, you might
have an actual heart on its way to you right now.
Emma:
I dont care. I dont want it.
Hanani:
Good. Because youre not gonna get it like this.
Erin:
Hey, Hey. Shes worried about Adam.
Hanani:
*sighs* all right. Look. Youre gonna feel much better once you get
rehydrated. If youll excuse us.

Sofea:
Are you Emma?

Emma:
Yes. YoureAdams sister.
Sofea:
May I? He talked about you a lot. And I heard that Adams donating his
heart to you.
Emma:
Dont worry. Im not gonna take it.
Sofea:
Why wouldnt you take it?
Emma:
Because I cant. I-I dont deserve it, and I dont want Adam to die.
Sofea:
No, neither do I. And just to be clear, if theres a choice between him
dying and you dying, Id
choose you.
Emma:
Right. Obviously. Youre his sister, so
Sofea:
No, even if I werent his sister. I bet if we took a poll around here of,
Who would you rather die,
Emma or Adam?, youd go down pretty easily. What, you disagree?
Emma:
I dont, but your brother might.
Sofea:
True. But you dont give a crap about my brother.
Emma:
Of course I do.
Sofea:
Then why would you deny his last wish? This is bigger than you and me.
So if he loves you, just love
him back.
Emma:

Good. Now, lets pray that he

Why hasnt this heart started beating yet?
Emma, stay with me!
But you cant see the light
Yes, I can. I couldnt before, but I do now. Thats a good thing,
the

light and I am, then its meant to be. Youre the best thing
thats ever happened to me.
You cant stay here forever. Unless you want to haunt the
hospital, which sounds like it

could pretty old pretty fast.II love you. I want to go with you.
We can be together
forever. Say something!
Adam:
I love you. I love you, Emma. This is my first time saying the 3
magic words, but hey,
Im already dead. You cant go with me Emma, you have to
choose life because its a
gift.
Emma:
Well, I want to exchange my gift. I want you instead.
Adam:
You have me, you have my heart, and you have countless more
sunsets and mornings
and movies and bad cup of decaf coffee because you probably
shouldnt have
caffeine. Its bad for the ticker.
Emma:
*laughs*
Adam:
And laughs. You get to laugh at least a million more times.
And cry and fight with your parents,
and make up, and maybe even become a parent yourself.
And when you take your daughter to
Paris for the first time, it wont be for a sad reason. Itll be so
you can tell her about us and what I
did for you, and what you did for me.
Emma:
*chuckles* what did I do for you?
Adam:
You lived. I havent said the 3 magic words to you, did I?
Emma, I love you.

Me too. Thanks for taking care of me, guys.
Benji:
Youre welcome.

Goodbye, everyone.
Benji:
Goodbye.
Erin:
She changed a lot since she first came here.
Hanani:
Well, we all change. When you think about it, we are all
different people all through our lives.
And that's good, you gotta keep moving, so long as you
remember all the people that you used
to be.
