BEACON HILLS HIGH SCHOOL
NATALIE: Most of these colleges require recommendations. Yours will need to be pretty stellar, considering your GPA. Tracy? You feeling a little overwhelmed?
TRACY: No, I'm... I'm okay.
NATALIE: Have you been getting enough sleep?
TRACY: Not really...
NATALIE: You know, teenagers have different circadian rhythms. When you're waking up for school, your body is still producing melatonin. You all need more sleep.
TRACY: It's not just that...
NATALIE: What do you mean?
TRACY: I get night terrors.
NATALIE: Actual night terrors? Parasomnia?
TRACY: I usually don't remember them...
NATALIE: "Usually?" Was there one night you do remember?
FLASHBACK—STEWART HOUSE, THE PREVIOUS NIGHT
END FLASHBACK
TRACY: My dad found me on the floor, lying beside the chair.
NATALIE: What about the skylight?
TRACY: That's the thing-- it doesn't actually open. It was sealed shut a couple of years ago to weatherproof it.
NATALIE: So, some of it was definitely a dream?
TRACY: And some of it wasn't.
NATALIE: Honey, I'm going to propose that most of it was. You know, there's a theory that one of the biological functions of dreaming is to stimulate threatening events? It's a way for our brain to rehearse dealing with them. I think you're dealing with normal anxiety, Tracy-- the kind very common to seniors.
TRACY: I better go. Class is going to be starting soon......And I should...
NATALIE: Tracy, are you okay? Oh, my God! Tracy! God, Tracy! Breathe! Oh, honey! Oh...
TRACY: Is this common?
BEACON HILLS ANIMAL CLINIC
DEATON: Remember, for intramuscular injections in the hind leg--
SCOTT: -- Stay clear of the sciatic nerve.
DEATON: Excellent. Aspirate back to make sure you haven't hit a vein... Then, just keep the needle still.
SCOTT: Ow!
DOG: Grrrrr!
DEATON: He's a little one, but his teeth are still sharp.
