Ah ha ha Yuh Yeet ig

Play Along

(The remaining Star Scraper crew are all sitting anxiously in the hospital waiting room, their comrade and dear friend, Greyson, had looked pretty bad when they brought him in. Fortunately for them, they have access to the galaxy's most reliable medical service. They've done everything they can to help their friend, all that's left to do is to wait patiently.)

(The air is still and the room is quiet when the sound of double doors pushing open echoes throughout the waiting room, the four  crew members all raise their heads. And look tentatively at the nurse, who's face is buried in his clipboard.)

NURSE: Uhm... Ellie Greyson?

(The four all stand up, almost in unison)

EENOX: Is he okay!? Can we see him?

NURSE: Um, I'm afraid only immediate family members are allowed to see the patient, Sir.

(The four seem disheartened, but Eenox's eyes dart back and forth on the ground as he quickly thinks up a plan)

EENOX: Um, but we ARE his immediate family.

NURSE: ... I'm sorry?

(Eenox grabs Lyman by the arm, pulling him towards his chest.)

EENOX: That's our SON in there! Adopted of course— but still our son nonetheless!  Who are YOU to deny the right of two fathers and  their DAUGHTERS from seeing an injured family member!

(Eenox pulls both Netty and Xyena towards him as well)

NURSE: Uh— I'm sorry Sir, but I don't thi—

NETTY: Please Sir! Is our brother gonna be okay!? He have to see him!

(Netty nudges Xyena with her elbow)

XYENA: Um... YES! ... OUR BROTHER... is in
... THERE... WE MUST SEE... HIM... OUR BROTHER... we... uh—

(Netty nudges Xyena again, this time making a 'stop talking' hand gesture)

EENOX: My husband and I DEMAND to see our CHILD.

(The nurse looks expectedly towards Lyman, the only one who's stayed silent during this whole ordeal.)

LYMAN: um, yes... what he said...

(Eenox leans his head down towards Lyman's ear, so that only he can hear)

EENOX: Wow... way to lay it on thick.

LYMAN: You know I'm not very good at this.

(The nurse darts his eyes around the room, several people are staring at the scene these four have made. Panicking, he gestures for the four to come closer and he whispers)

NURSE: Okay, okay. I'll let you see your friend—

EENOX: Kid.

NURSE: ...I'll let you see your "kid" but... just make it quick, okay?

(The four sigh with relief)

EENOX: thank you!

(The nurse leads them through a long hallway lined with rooms, each with a number and name beside it's door. Finally they get to a room numbered "J-306" and under the number reads "Ellie Greyson". The nurse knocks and quietly pushes open the door. Lying on the hospital bed is Greyson, groggy and clearly having just woken up.)

NURSE: Your.. uh, fathers are here to see you.

GREYSON: ... fathers? What'd you—

(Eenox walks over to the bed and gently places a hand on Greyson's bandaged shoulder and whispers)

EENOX: play along.

(Greyson, looks up to see Eenox, and gives his brain a moment to register what's going on. Finally his eyes light up and a weak laugh escapes his mouth.)

GREYSON: Ah, oh of course. Thanks for your concern pops. 'preciate it.

(The nurse shifts back and forth on his feet nervously)

NURSE: I'll uh, give you guys some privacy.

(He makes his way out the door and silently shuts it behind him)

(The room is silent for a bit as the group hears the sound of footsteps growing more and more faint. Finally, the silence is broken by Greyson's hoarse laughter)

GREYSON: you guys are so dumb

(Netty stomps over to the bed and punches Greyson in the arm)

NETTY: We're not the ones who got SKEWERED by a plank of WOOD that came from WHO KNOWS WHERE. GOT STITCHED UP. THEN, PROCEEDED TO RIP OPEN THOSE STICHES BY GETTING INTO A FIGHT, EVEN THOUGH I FUCKING TOLD YOU TO STAY IN
    B E D

GREYSON: ... you do raise some good points... but let me raise you an even better point...

NETTY: Which is?

GREYSON: I lived bitch.

NETTY: You make me so unbelievably angry. Knowing you is a burden.

(Greyson smiles, and drops his head back down on his pillow.)

GREYSON: ... love you guys too.
