JAYNA ELLIOT(begin offstage, walk on as she's talking)
Cass!
Cass runs on, looking worried at her mothers urgent tone.

Int. Elliot sitting room
JAYNA ELLIOT(begin offstage, walk on as she's talking)
Cass!
Cass runs on, looking worried at her mothers urgent tone.
CASS
Yes, mom? What is it?
JAYNA (worried)
Your father had a panic attack. He's stable, but fainted. It might've been a stroke, but that's for the doctors to decide. I'm going to drive him to the hospital and may not be back until late. Can you get Hannah to bed if I'm not back by 9:00?
CASS
Okay.. I really hope Dad’s fine…
JAYNA
I’ll call you.
JAYNA exits.
Sound Effect: car accellerating.
CASS:
Hannah! Dad fainted (trying to hide her concern). Mom’s at the hospital. What do you want for dinner?
Hannah enters, crying.
CASS
Listen! Dad (hopefully- mutter this part) will be fine. He’s fainted before. The doctors say he has weak blood pressure . I need you to calm down. Now, what would you like for dinner?
HANNAH (crying, but starting to calm down)
Mac and cheese, I guess.
CASS
OK. Do you want to call mom while I make dinner?
HANNAH
Okay!
CASS
I’ll call her, and I have to talk to her first before I let you, and I have to put your conversation on speakerphone. I’ll need you to go play. I’ll call you down in a minute.
Hannah sticks her tongue out at Cass, but exits anyways.Cass pulls out a cellphone and Jayna enters to the far corner of the stage (with a microphone). Cass dials a number.
I have that conversation played out in my head already but it's not written down so...
