Roadside Oneside

Hello, are you there?
Can you feel my hand on your arm?
Will you talk to me?

Does this hurt?
Please don't move your head,
Do you remember what happened?

Hello, I'm still here,
Can you tell me what happened?
Did you see the other car?

I'm cutting your clothes off.
Did that hurt? I'm sorry.
Show me, show me where.

Shhhh, take a breath for me.
Take it easy now, breath again.
Can you open your eyes for me?

It's just a blanket.
We have to cut the roof off.
Can you feel me touching your legs?

Please, leave the collar on,
What's your name?
Jack? Hi Jack, I'm Sean

That's just the roof coming off.
Dammit Bill! Please watch the glass!
Sorry Jack, you're really wedged in here.

Jack, now listen.
We're putting a special brace on your back.
Please let us do all the work.

I know the straps are tight.
They have to be.
Jack, I'm putting a needle in your arm.

There's still some parts to cut away yet.
Are you with me Jack?
Jack?

Stay with me here, Jack.
No Jack, nobody's gonna die today,
Not on my watch.

Jack, look at me.
Follow my finger.
How many am I holding up?

It's okay Jack.
You can cry.
Yes Jack, you've been badly hurt.

No, everyone else is fine.
They were wearing seatbelts.
No Jack, I wouldn't lie, they're okay.

Please lie still, Jack.
I've got something for the pain,
You'll be going on the helicopter.

Really Jack, look.
I'm smiling.
I don't smile at people who are dying.

Take care Jack,
Get better for that beautiful baby,
I know you'll do it.
