MRS. TERENCE: D'you know what I said to meself when I saw 'im lyin'
there?

NURSE: What?

MRS. TERENCE: I said, "That murderer's been at 'im," I said, "and it's
the next victim." I did!

NURSE: So you would! Just like the pictures.... 'Old your 'ead up,
love.

MRS. TERENCE (_as_ NURSE LIBBY _supports_ DAN'S _head_):
Got a _nice_ face, 'asn't he?

NURSE: Oh, yes!... (As DAN'S eyes flicker) Shh, he's coming to.... DAN
_opens his eyes and looks at her._

Welcome back to the land of the living!

MRS. TERENCE: Thought the murderer'd got you! _A pause._ DAN
_stares, then sits up abruptly._

DAN: How long I been like that?

NURSE: We picked you up ten minutes ago, and I'd say it was twenty
minutes before that, roughly-like, that you passed away.

MRS. TERENCE: Passed away, don't frighten the boy!... Whatever come
over you, dear?
