Marie’s Medical Crisis
In the seedy motel room, Nick has sex with Marie, the junky from next door. Afterward, they doze until Nick gets up and realization starts to dawn.
As he dresses, he writes her a note, hoping that Marie finds a way out of this life, and leaves it on the nightstand beside her. Saying her name, he can’t wake her and panics when he can’t feel a pulse. Shaking her and performing CPR, he finally brings her around.
Marie wishes Nick had let her die. He argues with her about calling the paramedics. She cries that if he does that, she’ll have to deal with her husband, and everyone will know how far she’s fallen. Nick can’t leave her in this situation and makes a call.
