Scene Fifteen

Junhee waits at the door of the office of a mid-level hospital administrator named Liz.

Turned away from the door, Liz shreds a document and speaks on the phone.

Liz (to phone) Unbelieveable insane shitting fucking waste sue out of luck. Nightmare clean idiot fifty-year old diapers not my job everybody forget sucks!

(This is unbelievable, insane. You’ve got to be shitting me. A fucking waste of resources. If she sues, we’re out of luck. And somehow it’s my nightmare to clean an idiot fifty-year-old’s diapers, even though it’s not my job, which everybody seems to forget, which sucks.)

Liz shreds another document, then notices Junhee at her door.

Liz (to phone) Call back five.

(I’ll call you back in five.)

Liz hangs up the phone.

Liz Joony, right? Sit, sit.

(Junhee, right? Sit, sit.)

Junhee sits.

Liz Didn’t expect come so quickly. Off water, cough, tea?

(Didn’t expect you’d come by so quickly. Can I offer you water, coffee, tea?)

Junhee No, thank you.

(Just have a few questions that I’m curious about and wonder if I can ask you. Okay?)

Junhee Okay.

Liz Anything tell uncomfortable trouble always door open anytime help need of course questions confidential trust ear understand need uncomfortable tell comfortable fine uncomfortable any point.

(You know, anything you want to say, or if you’re uncomfortable, uneasy, troubled, my door is always open to you at anytime, and if you need help, and of course your questions will remain confidential, and you can trust that you’ll find a willing ear. Now I need to address something that may make you uncomfortable. Please tell me. I want you to be comfortable. So it’s fine to let me know if you’re uncomfortable at any point.)

Junhee Okay.

(We’ve received information about concerns over some actions that I can’t disclose. I’m being careful to be sensitive for all concerned. None of this is public. There’s been a complaint about a male among the staff. And this complaint, well, it’s difficult to know whether it’s true or untrue so we have to be fair especially during this preliminary phase.)

Junhee . . .

Liz Address true untrue accusation workplace environment, appropriate measure protect staff care reassure individual quality safety work environment. Important workplace appropriate responsible legal protection, my responsibility.

(When we address true and untrue accusations in the workplace environment, we take appropriate measures to protect the staff in our care to reassure each individual of the quality and safety of this work environment. It’s so important that you feel that your workplace has appropriate and responsible legal protections, and that’s my responsibility.)

Junhee . . .

Liz So: notice difficult workplace person words boundaries inappropriate offend thing uncomfortable?

(So: have you noticed any difficulty in the workplace, any person whose words or sense of boundaries are inappropriate and have offended you – really anything at all that has made you uncomfortable?)
