INT - TOP CORRIDOR - NIGHT The nunsare running up the corridor in their night dresses and caps, callingurgently in French. They reach the door of Sister Agnes' room and trythe door. It is blocked. Pushing harder they see the blood stainedfigure of SISTER AGNES. Much alarm and crying... MOTHER SUPERIOR Agnes!... Agnes...

PARAMEDIC I'm just going to put something here to stop the bleeding.
