MARCANTONIO AND PAOLO ENTER IN THEIR HUMAN FORMS

RAPHAEL IS READING A NEWSPAPER

RAPHAEL SEES MARCANTONIO AND PAOLO

RAPHAEL

Humans?! How did you- Oh. Never mind. You guys are back already?

MARCANTONIO

Just us. Paolo fell on the ground face-first. I managed to stop the bleeding, but on the way back, it started again. Nose might be broken.

RAPHAEL

Well let's get him to the med bay!

RAPHAEL GETS UP

MARCANTONIO, PAOLO, AND RAPHAEL GET IN THE MED BAY

INT. MED BAY - DAY

PAOLO GETS ON THE BED

MARCANTONIO SETS UP THE SCANNER

MARCANTONIO

Paolo, you need to remove your hands.

PAOLO MOVES HIS HANDS FROM HIS NOSE

MARCANTONIO SCANS PAOLO'S NOSE

MARCANTONIO LOOKS AT THE SCANNER AND PAOLO PUTS HIS HANDS UP TO HIS NOSE AGAIN

MARCANTONIO SIGHS IN RELIEF

MARCANTONIO

Good news. Your nose isn't broken. It's just a heavy bleed because the sensitive part tore. You're gonna need stitches.

RAPHAEL

Is there anything I can help with?

MARCANTONIO

Yeah. Can you grab one of those hospital gowns from the cabinet to the right? Paolo's clothes are covered in blood.

RAPHAEL

Sure.

MARCANTONIO STARTS WORKING ON PAOLO'S NOSE

RAPHAEL GRABS A HOSPITAL GOWN AND GIVES IT TO MARCANTONIO

MARCANTONIO

Thanks.

MARCANTONIO GIVES THE HOSPITAL GOWN TO PAOLO

MARCANTONIO

I want you to change into this. You can keep your underwear on, don't worry.

PAOLO

Oh... okay...

MARCANTONIO STOPS THE BLEEDING

MARCANTONIO AND RAPHAEL TURN AROUND

PAOLO STARTS CHANGING BUT WE CAN'T SEE HIM

RAPHAEL

Poor kid. Always gettin' these nosebleeds.

MARCANTONIO

It's the scarf. He trips over it and crashes or falls.

PAOLO

Uh... I need help.

MARCANTONIO

With?

PAOLO

With the back...

MARCANTONIO TURNS AROUND

MARCANTONIO TIES THE BACK

MARCANTONIO

There we go. Hey, pops?

RAPHAEL

Yeah?
