47: INT. STADIUM NIGHT
Three years later, 1982. Aerosmith is performing.
STEVEN: (singing Mama Kin) It ain't easy living like you wanna, it's so hard to find peace of mind! Yes it is! (tries to do a move but falls off the stage)
RACHAEL: (from backstage) Oh my God! (runs out onstage) Someone help him!
JOE: Brad, help me out here. (they both pull him back up) Someone call an ambulance!
RACHAEL: Baby, are you okay? Are you hurt?
STEVEN: Ah! My shoulder!
RACHAEL: You're gonna be alright, the ambulance is on it's way. (takes his hand)
48: INT. HOSPITAL ROOM NIGHT
Steven has been rushed to the hospital.
DOCTOR: Ok, it appears that your husband has dislocated his shoulder in three places and broke his collar bone.
RACHAEL: Is he gonna be alright?
DOCTOR: He'll be fine, but he will require surgery and the rest of the year off.
RACHAEL: Ok.
DOCTOR: I'm gonna prescribe him something for the pain. I'll be back in a few minutes. (leaves)
STEVEN: (groans) (opens his eyes) Rachael?
RACHAEL: Hey sweetie, you okay?
STEVEN: I've been better. (tries to sit up) (winces)
RACHAEL No, don't move. You dislocated your shoulder and broke your collar bone.
STEVEN: Damn. Is Mia with you?
RACHAEL: No, she's at home with her four favorite uncles!
STEVEN: How long before I can get outta here?
RACHAEL: Probably a few days.
STEVEN: Good.
DOCTOR: All right Steven, here are your pills. You need to take one a day every day for six weeks.
STEVEN: Thanks doc.
RACHAEL: You'd better take one now. (pours one out for him)
STEVEN: Not right now Rach, they gave me morphine earlier for the pain, I'm queasy.
RACHAEL: All right. (puts it on the bedside table) I'm gonna leave it right here.
STEVEN: Thanks baby.
RACHAEL: You're welcome. (slowly leans in and carefully kisses him) I'll be in the hotel next door, call me if you need anything. I love you.
STEVEN: Love you too.
RACHAEL: (walking out as Tim is coming in) Tim...
TIM: Rebecca...
RACHAEL: (gives him a sarcastic look) It's Rachael.
TIM: Whatever. (closes the door in her face)
RACHAEL: (rolls her eyes and leaves)
TIM: How you doing man?
STEVEN: Bad, my shoulder's fucking killing me.
TIM: Did they give you anything?
STEVEN: They gave me these pills. I gotta take one a day for six weeks.
TIM: They're huge.
STEVEN: I know.
TIM: You know, there's a much easier way you can take those.
STEVEN: Oh yeah?
TIM: (pulls a straw out of his pocket and crushes up the pill)
STEVEN: Man, I can't do that shit. I've got a baby now.
TIM: It's not like you're doing coke.
STEVEN: I guess you've got a point.
TIM: Go on, try it.
STEVEN: (snorts it)
TIM: Feels good, doesn't it?
STEVEN: Yeah... It does.
49: INT. STEVEN'S APARTMENT DAY
A few days later.
Steven comes home.
RACHAEL: (comes in with Steven)
STEVEN: Thanks Rach.
JOE: How you doing brother?
STEVEN: Better.
JOE: Good.
STEVEN: I can't believe I fell off the stage.
JOE: Hey, don't worry about it man. It wasn't your fault.
RACHAEL: That reminds me, it's time to take your pill. (gives him one and pours him a glass of water)
STEVEN: (puts it in his mouth and takes a sip of water) I'm gonna go lay down.
RACHAEL: Need help?
STEVEN: No, I'm okay. (walks to the bedroom)
50: INT. STEVEN'S APARTMENT (BEDROOM) DAY
STEVEN: (closes the door and spits out the pill) (crushes it up and then snorts it with a straw) (sighs)
