INT. WESLEY METHODIST CHURCH - AFTERNOON

<br>
KELZA sits with JASON, holding his left hand in her right, her own left arm bare on the table next to her. A NURSE presses cotton wool against her arm where blood has recently been taken. A stern DOCTOR holds a blood sample, eyeing it with disapproval.
<br>
<br>
<center>DOCTOR</CENTER>
<center>I'm afraid we won't be able to use this blood, Miss Pilkington.
<br>
<br>
<center>KELZA</center>
<center>(Confused, mildly annoyed)</center>
Why not? You aren't about to tell me I went through that hell for nothing!
<br>
<br>
<center>NURSE</center>
Calm down, unless you want to faint!
<br>
<br>
<center>DOCTOR</center>
<center>(Calmly)</center>
We've taken the time to analyse your donation and the findings are - well, shall we say... interesting.
<br>
<br>
<center>KELZA</center>
Oh yes?
<br>
<br>
<lj-cut text="And the good doctor continued..."><center>DOCTOR</center>
The haemoglobin in your blood has been replaced almost entirely by caffeine...
<br>
<br>
<center>KELZA</center>
<center(Shrugging)</center>
Caffeine works better.
<br>
<br>
<center>DOCTOR</center>
... your platelets have taken to growing long hair and wearing flared jeans...
<br>
<br>
<center>KELZA</center>
How very stylish!
<br>
<br>
<center>DOCTOR</center>
... and your white blood cells are wearing berets and reciting beat poetry.</center>
<br>
<br>
A pause while KELZA mulls this over. A SECOND NURSE places a cup of tea and a chocolate digestive on the table next to her.
<br>
<br>
<center><center>KELZA</center>
<center>(Chuffed)</center>
I think I might have the coolest blood ever!
<br>
<br>
<center>DOCTOR</center>
Au contrare! What you have is the most unusable blood known to man! How it's keeping you alive baffles me. You should have died a humiliating and painful death years ago!
<br>
<br>
<center>KELZA</center>
<center>(Offended)</center>
Is that so?
<br>
<br>
<center>DOCTOR</center>
Indeed it is.
<br>
<br>
<center>KELZA</center>
<center>(Jumping to her feet)</center>
I shan't stand for this!</center>
<br>
<br>
KELZA falls over.
