SHOT LIST 1-56
4 (BOOK ARM)
Lilix, a young nurse in the Dreamer Village hospital, is preparing a mash of fruits, wheat, and root powder for Felsik, a 25 year-Old paralyzed male who sits in a wheelchair nearby . His head is held in place by a leather strap. An arm attached to his chair holds a book in front of him, but he just stares motionless past the book into the distance. Nurse Rina comes in the room.
RINA
(SNOBBY)I don't understand why you think he can read. It's a mystery you think he can do anything, given that he has never shown any real signs of awareness.
Nurse Rina She puts some objects down on the mixture table.
LILIX
Keep your voice down. He can hear you and you are being very rude.
RINA
Even if he could hear me, his brain has as much awareness as this mush you feed him."
LILIX
Imagine you were in his place: trapped in a body, but inside you were yelling to the world and no one could hear you.
RINA
Then I would hope someone would do the humane thing and end my life.
Nurse Rina picks up the rest of her items and exits. Lilix finishes up her mixture then goes to Felsik. She moves the book arm aside and sits in front of him preparing to feed him.
LILIX
Don't listen to her. She is what we call an idiot. I know you're in there, I see you.
She mixes some food with a spoon and then holds the spoon at his mouth.
LILIX
I hope you like this flavor. If not, I am so sorry.
Felsik's tongue moves a little tasting it. She lifts his head up to make the meal go down. Nurse Rina comes back in. She sees the messy table where Lilix was preparing the medicine and gets annoyed. She aggressively clears the table.
RINA
How many times do I have to tell you that this is a hospital, not a play ground for children!? You need to learn how to clean up after yourself.
Lilix turns to her in a panic.
LILIX
Wait! Stop! DON'T!
Lilix pleads. Nurse Rina ignores her. Lilix runs to her but gets there only in time to see her throw the mixtures in the trash.
LILIX
Why did you do that?
RINA
Just make more.
LILIX
I can't. That is all we have.
RINA
Then order more.
Felsik shows signs that the mixture is working: his eyes start looking around. He flexes his face and his fingers reach into the air trying to lift his hand up. But the nurses are too busy arguing to notice the miracle awakening just a few feet away.
LILIX
I can't.
RINA
And exactly why can't you order more?
Lilix is silent for a moment, reluctant to respond.
LILIX
Because it comes from the Northern Provinces.
RINA
The Northern Provinces? You know our village is forbidden to trade while in a trade and boundary dispute. It is illegal to use any goods that come from there.
Lilix's mother, who is the Head Nurse at the hospital, comes in.
HEAD NURSE
What is the matter here?
RINA
Lilix has used an illegal mixture to treat a patient.
HEAD NURSE
What mixture?
FELSIK
Lilix!!!
Felsik blurts out before Lilix can answer the Head Nurse's question. The nurses go silent. They look at Felsik. Lilix runs to his side.
LILIX
I told you he is aware of us and the only thing that can free him is gone, thanks to you.
RINA
It's illegal, you should not have been using it in the first place.
Nurse Rina she picks up a medical tray and exits. The Head Nurse looks at Lilix and then at the mixture tables.
HEAD NURSE
What did you use?
LILIX
A sample Torm gave me. She said she found a root in the Crescent Fields up north that would help repair the nerves and rebuild motor function.
Lilix looks at Felsik.
LILIX
And she was right.
HEAD NURSE
She usually is. That girl is going to save the world.
The Head Nurse responds as she takes FELSICK'S hand
HEAD NURSE
When I delivered you 25 years
ago, you were limp in my hands, barely able to breathe and unable to cry . But I saw the life in your eyes and knew you were in there. And now by some miracle mixture, I get to hear the sound of your voice and feel you tickle my hand for the first time.
LILIX
I don't care about trade disputes or land quarrels... While they are trying to figure out what cow belongs to what farm and what line goes on what map, Felsik is trapped. He needs that root and because he can't get up and get it, we have to.
Lilix goes close to Felsik.
LILIX
I won't let you stay trapped forever.
Head Nurse stands up in front of Lilix.
LILIX
Mother, please don't try to stop me.
Head Nurse just smiles.
HEAD NURSE
I wasn't going to.
LILIX
Oh, then why are you looking at me like that?
HEAD NURSE
I'm looking at you like this because I 'm proud to be your mother. You put others before yourself and I would never stop you from helping them.
Head Nurse straightens Lilix's collar and jacket.
HEAD NURSE
So all I can tell you is be safe and don't get caught.
............................................................
In the Dreamer Village hospital, kind young nurse Lilix tends to Felsik, a 25-year-old man who has been paralyzed and unresponsive his whole life. Her colleague Nurse Rina is dismissive and cruel, believing Felsik has no inner awareness — and when she discovers Lilix has been treating him with an illegal root mixture sourced from a restricted northern province, she throws it away. What neither nurse notices in their argument is that the mixture is already working — Felsik's eyes are moving and his fingers reaching. Then, cutting through the silence, he calls out Lilix's name. The Head Nurse — Lilix's mother — arrives to find Felsik awakened and is moved to tears, having delivered him 25 years ago. Lilix declares she will find more of the root regardless of trade laws, and her mother, rather than stopping her, straightens her collar and tells her to be safe and not get caught.
