Searching for Answers...

Setting: Somewhere in Kona. 5:00am.
Characters:
Kim: The Girl. Clueless.
Nina: The jack russell. Had it with Kim.
Carrie Bradshaw: Clueless.



Nina: (sleepily walks in) Why are you up so early? (immediately suspicious) What are you typing?

Kim: Why are YOU up so early?

Nina: None of your bus-

Carrie Bradshaw: (bounding in- plows into Nina) 'Morning! 

Nina: (flailing/sputtering) Dammit!

Kim: I'm writing Dr. Grant.

Nina: (recovering) NOW what have I supposedly done?

Kim: (sighs) I'm worried. Your urine doesn't have an odor any longer. And you actually pee a little less in general. Not a lot less, but nonetheless, less. Plus there have been two occasions when I have found you coughing. You have a heart murmur you know. Couple that with your beginning stages of kidney failure, I think an email to Dr. Grant on the mainland is in order.

     Nina starts to speak but Kim cuts her off-

Kim: And to top it off, you hate taking pills so much, I am concerned about keeping you in Sentinel.

Carrie Bradshaw: (dreamily) I get sentimental sometimes...

Nina: (ignoring Carrie Bradshaw; beat; stares at Kim coldly) You told him ALL that in the email?

Kim: Of course!

Nina: I am mortified.

Carrie Bradshaw: (to Nina) I was in the room yesterday when she called the vet- the island guy-

Nina: (icily) The pretend vet.

Kim: (tries to be diplomatic) That is your opinion. You're just used to Dr. Grant in California. The vet here means well. He is trying to help you.

Nina: (scoffs) He doesn't even wear a white coat.

Carrie Bradshaw: THAT'S the one!

Kim: Neither does Dr. Grant! What does that have to do with-

Carrie Bradshaw: (eager to gossip) Ahem! She made you an appointment for tomorrow morning. Betchya she has them fax the results to Dr. Grant.

Nina: (hasn't stopped glaring at Kim) Is this true?

Kim: Yes.

Carrie Bradshaw: (happily) See? I was right! I'm always right. Just like Dr. Grant.

Nina: (sputtering) Dammit!

    Nina silently curses the Hawaiian gods for various elements of fate and age as Kim continues to type... Carrie Bradshaw wanders aimlessly off....

BLACKOUT
