At Nora's
Nora is getting ready to leave and notices Troy laying by the porch.
Nora: Oh my god! Troy? (kneeling beside him) Troy, wake up please! Wake up! Troy!
Troy: (waking up) Oh!
Nora: My god!
Troy: Nora? Nora?
Nora: What, what . . . How did you . . . how did you come to be here like this?
Troy: (groggily) I wanted to talk to . . . I wanted to talk to you.
Nora: How long have you been here?
Troy: (noticing the sunlight) Oh, I guess . . . I guess since last night.
Nora: Last night! I'm calling an ambulance.
Troy: No, no, no, no. I don't need an ambulance.
Nora: Yes, you do!
Troy: No Nora, please. I, I don't want an ambulance. I just . . . I just need you. Come on. (trying to get up) Yeah, help me up.
Nora: No, no, no I'm going to call an ambulance.
Troy: No, no, no.
Nora: You're going to the hospital.
Troy: Nora, please. No. I've been chained up all alone for so long.
Nora: You're not going to be alone. I'll be with you. I promise.
Troy: Nora, please . . . I just, I just want to be here with you, ok?
Nora: Ok . . . You can be here with me for a little bit and then I am going to take you to the hospital.
Troy: (laughing) Please don't argue with me, just help me up.
Nora: (helping Troy to his feet) Ok . . . Easy, Easy, Easy. Easy . . . Are you ok? (slipping her shoulder under his arm, she leads him into the house)
Troy: Yeah, I'm fine . . . I got it. I'm fine.
Nora: (leading him into the living room) Come on . . . I'll get you all comfortable on the couch and then we could argue in comfort.
Troy: I'm fine . . . I'm fine.
Nora: All right, here . . . Turn around . . . Come on.
Troy: I got it. I got it!
Nora helps him to the couch. When he's sitting down on the couch, he falls and Nora falls on top of him. He looks at her and smiles and she takes his jacket and closes it up covering him up.
Later, Troy is sipping a glass of orange juice while laying on the couch and Nora sits next to him.
Troy: (leaning over to put the glass on the table, but Nora takes it from him) See? I told you . . . I'm feeling better. I'm fine.
Nora: You're fine? Of course you're fine. You slept on my doorstep last night.
Troy: I know, but I'm feeling much better now. I am. Actually it's you that I'm worried about.
Nora: I slept in a bed last night. Or I tossed and turned in one, but in a bed.
Troy: See, I got a better nights sleep than you did.
Nora: (laughing) Ha! Ha!
Troy: I'm serious Nora. I saw Sam last night . . . You ok?
Nora: (brushing lint from her pants) How was he?
Troy: Well, he was . . . he was pretty angry.
Nora: At me?
Troy: No, he didn't say anything bad about you.
Nora: Well he did to me.
Troy: I'm sorry I got in between the two of you.
Nora: You know what Troy, I don't really want to talk about Sam with you, ok?
Troy: I understand. So is Lindsay going to go to prison for what she did to you?
Nora: Well I certainly hope so. And I hope she gets another 100 years for what she did to you.
Troy: Yeah, well at least I had someone to help me get through it.
Nora: Starr Manning? How in the world did she find you?
Troy: I was talking about you, Nora.
Nora: Did I inspire you somehow?
Troy: No, it was more than that. I mean you were, you were actually there.
Nora: Really!
Troy: Ok, so you weren't really there physically, but . . . When I was delirious with the fever from the spider bite . . . did I tell you about the whole spider bite thing?
Nora: Yeah, you did.
Troy: Well I started to hallucinate. And in my hallucinations, you were there . . . You were, you were like this angel.
Nora: (smiling) Wings and all?
Troy: Well no, you didn't have any wings, but you did look pretty hot.
Nora: (laughing) Then you were hallucinating.
Troy: I'm serious, Nora. Thank you for everything. You've been like an angel to me. A beautiful, beautiful angel!
Nora: Oh Troy. (reaching out to touch his face.) Thank you.
They both hear footsteps on the landing and look to see Sam standing on the landing. Nora gets up from the couch, and Troy appears to be upset knowing he's caused more trouble for Nora.
