Terrible line!

I know it's not a great movie but how do you write this line and it gets into the final cut...?

"You guys are supposed to use the service elevator!" (the nurse says to the killer in the elevator) then the very next line is...

"Next time use the stairs!" WTF?

SHe even repeats it! What is that, punishment for using the wrong elevator is to have to take your mop bucket full of water up the stairs?

Doesn't ANYONE proof the scripts?

"He's not Judge Judy and executioner!"

I think that nurse has been using a patient's morphine.

It was used as a simple thrill to make you think the nurse was about to get sliced.

Didn't she say, he needed to use the stairs if the service elevator was broken?

Both lines are technically fine and correct. Staff members are not to use the patients' lift to avoid contact and risk passing infections, same goes for using the stairs (if possible).

your mop bucket full of water up the stairs?

You think that's bad. Try carrying new packs equipment as heavy as 25-30kg or more. A bucket of water is nothing compared to that.
