Of course I'm back. Why wouldn't I be back? My mother's in the hospital, I'm going to pay her a visit.

Estelle

I know, but two days in a row? You didn't have to do this.

George

You're my mother! What wouldn't I do for you?

Estelle

You know what you could do? I haven't eaten lunch or dinner. I can't eat this hospital food. Maybe you could run down to the deli and get me a sandwich..

George

(Smiling) You got it, Ma. (She smiles back, nodding) A little later. (George sits back in a nearby chair, looking at the divider in anticipation)
