Shelley K. Nielsen: Nurse

Quotes 

• Aurora Greenway : Excuse me. It is after ten. Give my daughter the pain shot, please.

  Nurse : Mrs. Greenway, I was going to.

  Aurora Greenway : Oh, good, go ahead.

  Nurse : In just a few minutes.

  Aurora Greenway : Well, please - it's, it's after ten. It's after ten. I don't see why she has to have this pain.

  Nurse : Ma'am, it's not my patient.

  Aurora Greenway : [increasingly hysterically]  It's time for her shot! Do you understand? Do something! All she had to do is hold out until ten! And it's past ten! She's - in pain, my daughter's in pain! Give her the shot, do you understand me?

  Nurse : You're going to behave...

  Aurora Greenway : [at the top of her lungs]  Give my daughter the shot!

  Nurse : [walks away to give Emma the shot] 

  Aurora Greenway : Thank you very much. Thank you.
