PIECES OF ME - JULY 2020 10 .
ELI What day is ... it ?
DR . MORRIS It ’ s Thursday . You ’ ve been with us for almost three weeks . Your daughter , well , she found you and hasn ’ t left your side since .
ELI Sophie ?!?!
Hi , dad .
SOPHIE
DR . MORRIS If it wasn ’ t for her surprise visit , well , you would have bled to death and god knows how long it would have been until someone found your body ...
ELI I ’ m so ... sorry !
DR . MORRIS I had to practically kick her out of the OR . She ’ s a fighter . More than I can say about you ...
( a beat ) And I ’ d appreciate it if you didn ’ t touch the bandages . We had to use every trick in the plastic surgery handbook to give you some semblance of a face . It took nearly twentythree hours ... almost a full day , so please stop being so grabby . You need to heal .
Eli offers a subtle nod . Sophie squeezes his hand .
DR . MORRIS ( CONT ' D ) Okay . Good .
( a beat ) We are far from being out of the woods - things can still ( and probably will ) go horribly wrong . Skin grafts can die ... you can get infections , and scarring is inevitable .
SOPHIE Will he look normal ? Will he look like my dad ?
