We'll be finished soon. [He offers Kid his most reassuring smile.] Could you start counting for me again? [John raises the tweezers and scissors again. He'll keep at this method, reassuring Kid and giving him time between each time. When it comes to the last stitch, John's just about ready to shake out of his own skin. Kid's nerves are getting to him, but his hand is steady as ever. With one final snip and tug, the last stitch is free.]
That's it. You're done. You were great, Kid. Here. Let's get some fluids into you. Really, thank you for letting me do that. I know that was one of the hardest things you've ever done. I'm bloody impressed. Not many people would be able to make it through that without flinching. You were amazing, Kid.
