MAY
Yeah?!
PETER
Well, I mean, they all have their
own mental and physical issues.
MAY
Well, he needs help, and maybe they
all do.
PETER
Wait, you don’t mean--? No May,
this isn’t my problem.
MAY
Peter. Not your problem?
May locks eyes with Peter - - is he being honest with her and
himself?
MAY (CONT'D)
Hmm?
PETER
May, their chance of getting help
is way better back where they came
from. Sending them home, that’s
the best thing that we can do for
them.
MAY
For them? Or for yourself?
Her words hit Peter hard. She’s guiding him, but leaving the
choice open. He hesitates.
MAY (CONT'D)
Look around you. This is what we
do. We help people.
PETER
This is what’s best. For them.
Trust me.
Off May, not entirely sold by that...
