E.R.
Doug and Carol: A Somewhat Romantic Story
By: Kathleen Bergman
Act Three
There's been another time lapse. It's now at the hospital and Carol is in the recovery room. She is
unconscious and Doug is sitting by her bed waiting for her to wake up his head is buried in his arms
which are laying on the bed. Carol opens her eyes and looks at him. He doesn't seem to notice that
she is awake. She gently lifts her hand and places it on his head. He looks up.
Carol: Hi.
Doug: (looking up, Carol's hand slides down to his arm) Hi. How are you
feeling?
Carol: Sore. What happened? I don't remember anything after we got to the
hospital.
Doug: We go you up to the O.R. and Benton was able to remove your
appendix before they ruptured. You're going to be just fine.
Carol: I know. I have the best Doctor in the hospital with me.
Doug: Carol, when you went into that operating room I was scared. I mean I
know it's a standard procedure and everything but I couldn't bear the thought of
anything happening to you. You've been to big a part of my life and you mean
to much to me. I guess what I'm trying to tell you is that I love you Carol. More
now then I ever did before. I love you.
Carol: Doug-
Doug: (cutting her off) I know I shouldn't have said anything. But Carol I do. I
love you so much.
Carol: Doug, I love you too. At first I tried to pretend that I didn't, that it was
nothing but the truth is you're all I ever think about. I've always thought that if I
gave in to you I'd only end up getting
hurt again. But I can't hide my feelings for you any more Doug.
Doug: Oh Carol...
He leans over towards her and they kiss tenderly. Her arms go up and wrap around his neck and
she pulls him closer.
Doug: (breaking away) Carol I... I love you.
Carol: (smiling) You already said that. At least twice.
Doug: I know. But I want you to believe me.
Carol: I believe you Doug and I love you too. (laughs) We're repeating
ourselves.
They lean over and kiss again. This time even with more emotion. Doug's arms go behind her back
as he pulls her even closer.
The End
