The Good Doctor (2014)
“In the end it was easier to go along than to resist.
Her husband had been fidgety and nervous, waiting for room service to arrive. Experience told her it would be easier for him if she was to take a walk, but once in the corridor she didn’t know where to go. The elevator boy stood at the end of the passage, caged door open behind him. She was walking in this direction and saw no reason not to step in.
“Main floor, madam?”
