Two robbers, Charles and Emily, run into an alley and crouch behind a dumpster. Emily is light-headed and sits down on the ground, knowing she has been shot, but Charles doesn’t realize it and thinks she is just out of breath.

CHARLES

You gonna be able to hang in there?

EMILY

(breathing heavily for a couple seconds)..Yea. I’ll be fine.

CHARLES

Ok, so if we can make it to that fire escape…

EMILY

No, no, no, I’ll be fine, really. Now what about the fire thing? (grabs side in pain)

CHARLES

(hesitates and is worried) …uh, the fire escape over there. We, um…Emily are you sure you’re OK? It’s just that, that’s a lot of blood.

EMILY
