In any event, Phoebe and Raige are predictably shocked to discover the hospital's now in the primary business of hacking off people's limbs, but they cover their dismay well as Phoebe inquires as to Piper's whereabouts. "What was her offense?" Nurse Kerry politely asks. Phoebe bugs out her eyes and hastens to clarify that Piper's having a baby. This news is met near ultrasonic squeals of delight from Nurse Kerry, who promptly identifies Piper's room as "1402," before reminding the gals, "Don't dawdle! Visiting hours are almost over. You all have a wonderful day, now, okay?" "'Day'?" Raige repeats, dazed, as she double-checks Phoebe's watch. "It's almost eight o'clock -- it should be dark now." "Dark?!" Nurse Kerry spits, instantly hostile. "Why would anyone say such a depressing thing? ImaginethesungoingawaynothavingsunshineALLTHETIME! Anyone who would want that should be, well, shot!" Raige and Phoebe, who'd been absorbing this rant with "oooo-kay, freak" looks on their faces, freeze for a moment as Nurse Kerry's last word echoes through the suddenly quiet lobby. All present turn to glare at the gals as Phoebe, thinking fast, bubbles over with fake laughter to assure everyone that Raige was joking and that they're there to visit their sister, who's having a baby, don't you know. General revelry at this bit of news from the temporarily placated idiots in the emergency room as Phoebe and Raige vanish into the elevator. Wow. That was actually a fun scene.
