1 Whoa! You startled me. I wasn’t expecting you here.
2 It’s been a real day for expectations. Where were you? I’ve been waiting here for an hour. You didn’t leave a note or—

1 I left the house in a hurry. I… um… my mother…
2 The hospital reached you? God, I’m sorry. That’s why—
1 The hospital?
2 They called me when they couldn’t get you.
1 I don’t understand.

1 Oh. Oh no. Mom’s all right, isn’t she? Oh, no , she isn’t. I’m being punished… she’s dead.
