It can't hurt

FADE IN: INT. LIVING ROOM

GRACE is asleep on the couch. MOLLY is sat reading a book, on the floor, resting her back against the couch. She hears JACOB coming down the stairs. He walks past the living room door and goes to the kitchen. MOLLY puts the book down.


CUT TO: INT. KITCHEN

JACOB begins to look through the medication they have. MOLLY comes into the kitchen.


JACOB

Do we have any Imodium?


MOLLY

I think so, let me look.


JACOB steps back from the counter and MOLLY moves in and begins looking. JACOB doesn't look well.


MOLLY

Do you really think Imodium is going to work?


JACOB

It can't hurt.


MOLLY

Yeah, but you've already lost a lot of fluids, this isn't going to make it any better. - Found it!


MOLLY picks it out of the box.


JACOB

I don't care. I just want it to stop.


JACOB takes the pack from her and takes a couple of the tablets.


MOLLY

Don't need any water to help those down then?


JACOB

It was the water that did this to me.


MOLLY

What do you mean?


JACOB

It must be contaminated or something. Just, don't drink it. ...I'm going to lie down.


JACOB leaves the kitchen and heads back upstairs. Leaving MOLLY alone in the kitchen.

FADE OUT.
