[HAMILTON]
Where’s my son?
Is he alive?
[DOCTOR]
Mr. Hamilton, come in. They brought him in a half an hour ago. He lost a lot of blood on the way over.
[DOCTOR]
Yes. But you have to understand
The bullet entered just above his hip and
Lodged in his right arm
[HAMILTON]
Can I see him please?
[DOCTOR]
I’m doing ev’rything I can, but the wound was
Already infected when he arrived—

Ev’rything just right

Save your strength and
Stay alive…

Even before we got to ten—
I was aiming for the sky
