Charlie, start it again.

All right, here we go.

Well, we ran out of time on the record

so it just keeps repeating, "Don't want to."

It was one of those booths in the arcade.

Can't imagine how excited we kids were, getting a record in the mail

from Atlantic City recorded by Mom and Dad!

It's just a little family joke, no reason you should get it.

It's kind of funny.

Have you still got the record?

Somewhere.

I think I'll go get a cigarette. Care to join me?

He quit, Dad.

Oh.

Hey, good for you.

I quit too, it was right after Gary here was born.

And after Joan was born and Roger and Sam and Tommy.

Will ya?

After all, I like smoking too.

I could use some air.

OK, follow me.

Shirley.

Hello, Doc. How are you, you son of a gun?

Doc Bogart, I want you to meet Bob Caldwell.

He is a real doctor.

What kind of medicine you in?

Plastic surgeon.

Do me a favour. Stop by my table later,

give me an estimate on my wife!

Listen, you don't drink too much, Doc.

You got a long drive home.

He's a great guy.

We raced together in the nationals, 1941, '42 and '43.

How long you been involved in rowing, Mr Hilary?

Charlie, Charlie, how many times do I have to tell you?

Right.

Let's see. I started in high school, that was 1940.

Then after the War I began coaching.

Wonderful sport, rowing.

Let me tell you.

You're in a shell, eight guys and a cox seat.

Each oar has to hit at exactly the right moment

without disturbing the water, then you pull,

you feel the tension roll through every muscle.

You try to push the water away from you.

After a time, the rhythm clicks and it's as if you were one body,

driving across the river.

I tell you, there's nothing like it in the whole world.

Except making love.

What's your sport?

Played a little football in college.

The only things you get from contact sports are broken bones

and Astroturf in your face.

I didn't like you very much when I met you in November,

but now, you're OK.

Thanks, Charlie.

Especially since you cut off that ridiculous moustache.

They're ready for you, Dad.

Oh, OK.

APPLAUSE

Little drumroll, please.

DRUMROLL

Ladies and gentlemen, friends of the rowing club, welcome.

As many of you already know,

we feel that this season we have the greatest eight since 1956.

We think our boys have a real shot at the Olympic trials this spring.

Of course, I have said that every four years since 1956

but I particularly want to invite you back down here on April 30th

for the official christening of our brand new rowing shell,

which is going to carry us from Princeton to Los Angeles

and to the gold.

APPLAUSE

Be sure and bring your picnic baskets and your cheque books.

Thank you all very much.

APPLAUSE

May I please have this dance?

Yes, you may.

I do.

And do you, Roberta Drexel Sloan, take this man, Victor,

to be your husband?

I do.

I don't.

I know that I've never been married

but isn't the bride supposed to say the do before the groom does?

I was right. It's genetic.

No, it's too much Chardonnay.

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong here, please.

I can't remember... Judith.

It's fine just the way it is, Aunt Cherie. It's just fine.

Oh, OK then, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I won't say another word.

My little pretty!

You are so lucky.

Will all of you witnessing these promises do all in your power

to uphold these two persons in their marriage?

That's it, man, I can't hold it any longer. I got to whizz.

Dogger, we're almost done.

Hey, man, I'm into nature, OK?

Nature calls, I answer.

Second door on your left.

That's OK, man, I like to go outside.

I guess that's why they call him Dogger.

Then I say by the powers invested in me and so forth

and then you two kiss.

Let's eat.

Fine.

Will everyone please step into the dining room?

What a lovely, lovely house you have, Mrs Craig.

Oh, you got to see this, man. You got to see this!

Cut it out, for Pete's sake, you haven't even washed your hands.

Seriously, man, you got to see this.

All right, all right.

It's right outside round the corner.

OK, you two. Break.

Mrs Craig, have I thanked you for letting us have the wedding here?

Three times every day for the past week.

Did Roberta thank you?

You two better go and eat.

Helen, he wrote his name in the snow.

So what?

Not with his finger.

Script or print?

Print.

This I got to see.

You also never told me that your father almost went to the Olympics either.

Best crew he's ever coached.

Caught a crab at the '56 trials in Syracuse.

Caught a crab?

When one of the oars gets stuck in the water

and the whole shell pitches to one side.

I was six but I can still see the disappointment on his face.

Mom says Dad's been vomiting for the past two days,

she can't get him to go to a doctor.

He looks fine to me.

Seen guys our age with half his energy.

I know.

Don't worry about it. Could be a million minor things.

Yeah.

Just gets you thinking, you know?

I remember one day after school I was sitting in my dad's chair

watching the Mike Douglas Show or something.

He came in carrying sales books and a case of wine his company was selling.

He looked so tired.

No, bored.

So?

That was the day I realised.

My dad's nothing special.

He's just an ordinary man who sells wine to liquor stores.

What's wrong with that?

He's played the game exactly the way he's supposed to.

Married out of high school, five kids in ten years.

He spent the last 39 years in a job that never brought him any joy.

Joan, folks who grew up in the depression,

they didn't have the same options we have now.

Once we were all out of the house, he could have done whatever he wanted.

Did you ever talk to him about it?

Several times. There's always a reason.

A new roof, a new furnace.

I love you.

Even though I'm just an ordinary guy.

Remember, Phil, prenuptial festivities start at noon.

The "I dos" kick off at one.

OK.

You two driving up to Craig's together?

Yeah. I figure 26.2 at seven-and-a-half a mile - should be about three hours.

So if you start by nine, you should have time to get back and shower.

Mm-hm. See you tomorrow.

Wait, what are you talking about?

I'm running the Boston Marathon.

In February?

Oh, Phil, I don't know how to break this,

but the Boston Marathon is in April.

I know. You see, last year, I didn't finish.

I didn't have the stamina. This time, I'm going to be ready.

I'm going to run the exact route of the marathon

and I'm going to finish.

Break a leg.

So. How come you're not going to the wedding?

The head nurse has just let me back down here,

so I am in no position to juggle my schedule.

Did Ehrlich really invite you?

Yes, Fiscus.

Must be a big wedding.

Please, help me! He's all feverish.

Get a gurney. Let's put him in 2.

Lie down here.

Marie...

Don't you worry about a thing, Charlie.

(EXHALES LOUDLY)

STARTER'S GUN FIRES

CROWD CHEERS

(SLOWLY) I do. I do.

(FIRMLY) I do.

(UNCERTAINLY) I do.

I've checked on Roberta. She's in our bedroom getting dressed.

How she do... doing? How is she doing?

Well, she's a little nervous. But don't worry about it.

Huh. Don't worry.

I do worry.

No, no, no. I'm not going to worry. Excuse me.

Not today, not today.

Do not worry.

I do. Boy, I could use a drink.

How about a margarita, man?

Ha! No, thanks, I've got keep my head straight.

I'll hold the show.

You've got a deal. Pour them.

Whoa, part-ay!

(LAUGHS)

Here you go, man. Whoa, Victor, Victor.

May the saddest days of your future, OK,

be, like, no worse than the happiest days of your past, man.

What does that mean?

Being on the East Coast has done strange things to your head, man.

DOORBELL RINGS

My first guest.

Oh, Victor, Victor, Victor. The first guest.

The Rama Kucha man, he used to say, er,

the first guest to show up at a wedding - OK?

Will, like, always have a profound effect

on the relationship of that couple, man.

Can't wait to see who it is.

Let's go.

Hi. Who are you?

Who are you?

I asked you first.

Move it or lose it, Goofy!

Mother! What are you doing here?

I decided to drive down from Peterborough and surprise you.

Well it's not a good day.

We're hosting this wedding for Victor and Roberta.

It's fine.

When I saw the morning coat and flowers, I thought Mark had died.

He's upstairs getting dressed.

I have no intentions of driving all the way back home again.

No, no, no, it would be an honour and a privilege

for you to witness the holding of my nuptials.

Somebody marrying him?

She's right up those stairs.

I've got to meet this woman.

Oh, Victor, I'm really terribly sorry.

No trouble at all.

Are you sure?

Sure. Have I told you how grateful I am

that you let us have the ceremony here?

DOORBELL CHIMES

Get the door, Victor.

Ooh-hoo! Yeah, second guest!

(GRUNTS)

Hm.

So, I understand you've had a few arguments

with my daughter since she was appointed health services adviser.

We don't seem to agree as often as I'd like.

I'm sure she hasn't told you,

but she says that you're a hell of a doctor

and that you work too hard.

A lot of work, and, unfortunately, not enough people to help out.

I can understand that all right.

A couple of years ago, I was coaching three crews

while serving my fourth straight term as rowing club captain.

And still holding down my regular job.

When something good happened, I couldn't really enjoy it,

because there were always bad things that came along to distract me.

That sounds vaguely familiar.

And then I took a step backwards.

Then I realised we can control our own lives just so far.

If a crisis occurs, you do your best.

And, if it goes sour, you can console yourself

with the fact that you gave it your best shot.

You have a very healthy attitude.

Dr Westphall, this year, I have a crew.

These kids are talented.

When we get this new shell we've ordered,

I'm convinced I can get some of them into the Olympics this summer.

My wife and I rented a beach house in LA so we could watch the Games.

I guess what I really want to ask you is

have I wasted my deposit on that house?

What makes you ask that?

I've been in pretty heavy pain for four months.

Here I am, flat on my back in the hospital

for the first time in my life.

I realise they don't tell me everything,

but I'm not blind, Doctor.

I'm dying, aren't I?

You have a tumour. It's malignant.

I guess I was hoping you'd say I was a hypochondriac.

Can I get you anything?

A priest?

You certainly have a lovely day for the wedding.

Isn't it?

DOORBELL

Excuse me, my 12th guest.

Hi, Peter.

Whose side are you on?

Oh, the bride.

Nice girl.

Too bad really, no-one at St Eligius seems to think it'll last a year.

OH! (SOBS)

Ah, fantastic!

I'll show you where you set out. Right in here.

I want to see my daughter. (SOBS)

Judith, please.

I want to see my daughter.

Darling, she says she doesn't want to see you.

I want my baby!

Excuse me, Doctor, would you happen to have any tranquillisers?

ACCORDION MUSIC STARTS UP

Hi, Mrs Sloan.

Get out.

Mom! You seem tense.

You can't get married. Not until you know the truth.

You have no idea what the future holds in store.

I never loved your father.

See you downstairs.

ACCORDION MUSIC CONTINUES

Come on, Mark, smile.

DOORBELL CHIMES

Goofy, aren't you going to greet your 28th guest?

No.

I'll get it.

Dr Ridley, you've got to come quick.

Now?

Yes, please.

Hi. Around back!

SOUND OF BREAKING GLASS

She won't do what?

Oh.

Victor, I'm sorry, I did everything I could but show stag films.

Where's when I need him?

He's in Sarasota with his ex-wife.

Have you tried talking to her, Victor?

She won't let me in.

You know he can't see the bride before the wedding.

OK, I'll talk to her.

Great.

I said around back!

Lady, do you know who I am?

Trying to get in the front door.

No, no, no! Please, stop it.

No, this is a friend of mine. We work together at the hospital.

Oh, great! Goofy's got himself a little, black sidekick.

What's your name, Mickey?! (CHUCKLES)

I'm sorry. What can I say? It's Craig's mother-in-law.

I understand. She's an old broad.

Probably never heard of the Civil Rights Act.

The word "civil" isn't in her vocabulary.

Don't worry about it. She comes near me again, I'll deck her!

(PANTS) Hey, pup.

DOG GROWLS AND BARKS

Nothing's impossible. If you wanted to make it happen, you could.

What was that all about?

I called the guy in Canada who makes the shells for the rowing club.

I want my father to see the new shell.

But he says he can't get here today. He says it'll take a month.

Have you tried someone at the rowing club?

My first call.

The only one I could reach was Doc Bogart and he said I was crazy.

You are crazy.

Dad's lived his whole life for us.

He's got nothing to show for it.

Yeah, except a wife, five kids, all those crews he's coached.

It's quite a legacy, Joan.

I always...

felt bad because I wasn't a boy.

And couldn't be an oarsman. That's why I want to do this.

It'll let him know.

I just want to go on being his daughter for ever.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Victor. You wait all this time for the ceremony?

A smidgen longer.

Oh, how is she, how is she?

She's fine... as soon as Mrs Craig finished sewing up the rip in the wedding dress.

Rip?

We had to stop Roberta from tearing it completely.

(ROBERTA) No!

Have you ever thought about eloping?

The Rama Kucha puts his hand on the guy's forehead, right?

The next thing you know, the dude is up tap dancing around the room.

I mean, I was there, I saw it.

What I want to know is, how come you guys can't do that, man?

Excuse me, Dogger, I want to be sick.

See that's what I mean, man,

the Rama Kucha doesn't know the meaning of the word "puke".

LAVATORY FLUSHES

Hey, gnarly party, man, really. Huh.

Dr Craig, are you having a good time?

Your buddy Dogger was meditating in the pantry.

The accordion player you hired can barely play "Lady Of Spain"

and my mother-in-law is here.

No, I'm not having a good time.

Well, is Mrs Craig enjoying herself?

Ehrlich, if this three-ringer isn't over in an hour,

I'm shutting it down.

Dr Craig, on my word as a doctor, nothing else will go wrong.

DOORBELL CHIMES

Please, come on in, where have you been?

Oh, I got lost.

In aisle 3 of the Liquor Barn.

Oh, no, no, no.

See I've found the tunnel all right,

but then I ended up on something drive instead of the expressway.

Ha! And there I was, on the wrong side of the river!

(LAUGHS)

You know, they really ought to make those signs bigger.

Oh, thank you.

(LAUGHS)

55 minutes, Ehrlich.

Come on, pup.

If you're ready for Heartbreak Hill, so am I.

If we were smart, we'd call it a day right here.

Right, boy?

Come on, pup.

Come on, go for it!

Attaboy.

I guess this is where we separate the men from the dogs!

(MAN) Could be food poisoning?

Hiya, Peter.

TAPPING

CHATTER AND ACCORDIAN STOP

I'm sorry for the delay, but you know how expectant women are.

(ALL AGREE)

No, not that kind of expectant!

Louder, Goofy!

(SHOUTS) Not that kind of expectant.

So, eat, drink and have a good time, OK?

Louder.

(RAISES VOICE) So eat, drink and have a good time, damn it!

Here's Joanie.

Don Bundy!

Joanie!

Ah! (LAUGHS)

Look at you. You've grown up.

Did she ever tell you that she used to have a crush on you

the size of Rhode Island?!

Dad!

We've been talking about the time your father kicked Don off the team.

When? I don't remember that.

When I first went out from rowing, I was cocky.

Oh, to say the least!

One day, Charlie was pushing us and pushing us.

And I smart-mouthed back, using a 12-letter word.

So I made him row back to the dock,

pointed right at Don and I said, "OK, you, out of the boat."

(LAUGHS) I went home and I told my father,

who was pretty influential at the rowing club.

I was positive that he'd chew Charlie out.

Instead, he said, "You call him back and you apologise now."

I did.

So all was forgiven, right?

The hell it was.

Oh, no, I didn't let him get near that boat for three months.

And I learned the lesson -

you can't slide through life just saying I'm sorry.

Sometimes flowers help! (GROANS)

Charlie, are you all right?

Yeah, sure, yeah.

You've been having too many visitors and not enough rest.

Come on now, everybody out.

You, too, Sam,

you can visit tomorrow when he's feeling better.

Bye, Dad.

Your brother told me you were trying to get the shell. Any luck?

I'm reaching dead ends all around.

The guy in Canada's not even returning my calls any more.

I'm sorry, Mom.

That's OK, honey.

It was a nice idea.

You know, whenever I see Charlie, he always talks about how proud

he is of you, of all his kids.

Thanks for stopping by, Don.

When I heard, I just had to.

You take care.

OK.

Bye, Sam.

Gotcha!

I spotted you about a half mile ahead of me and picked you off.

That's the best part of running - picking people off.

Want to race?

First one to the top of the hill ten bucks?

No, thank you.

Lovely skills!

Cramp - mineral deficiency.

Baloney! No vitamin is going to get you the top of this hill.

I've got to gut it out. I'm running the marathon.

Hooked on the mystique of the Boston Marathon, huh?

Yeah.

Ah, the thrill died for me in '71.

My entry application was rejected.

Women can't run that far!

Pretty lame, huh?

I'd say.

The next year they were singing a different tune.

I say to hell with them. I haven't bothered to enter since.

Almost there.

Oh! We made it.

Easy as pie.

Thanks.

What for?

You did it, nobody carried you.

Contrary to popular opinion, it's not all downhill hill from here!

(LAUGHS) Hey, um, my name's Phil.

Bye, Phil.

Hey, what's your name?

Catch me and I'll tell you.

(MUMBLES) Catch you! How could I?

LAVATORY FLUSHES

(WOMAN) Oh, oh, oh, my God.

Oh, is that decaf?

No. Do you want anything in your coffee?

Yeah, Kahlua. (GIGGLES)

Where was I?

Oh. OK.

Now... Now, your career's a bust,

but you have got this incredible lifeline.

I mean, you will live to be at least...

60.

For crying out loud, lady, look at the man!

He's obviously very successful and well into his 70s.

I always thought of Ehrlich as bizarre,

but with you as a role model, I'm surprised he turned out at all.

I'm serious.

I've no respect for a woman who hasn't the decency

to show up sober at her nephew's wedding.

Oh, I'm so ashamed.

I've embarrassed Victor in front of all of his friends.

Nonsense. Weddings are a time for indulgence.

No, you see, whenever Victor writes or calls me,

all he talks about are his wonderful friends at St Eligius.

I mean, he says that

he really has a family for the first time in his life.

And especially you. Especially you, Dr Craig.

To Victor, you're the father that he never had.

Yeah, well.

We all respect Victor's talents as a surgeon,

isn't that right, Mark?

Yes, that's right.

We think you should be proud of the job you've done raising him.

Am I right, Mark?

Er, right.

If you'll excuse me, I have to check on some of the other guests.

LAVATORY FLUSHES

Victor was right. I mean, he's a wonderful man.

But I still feel I should go round and apologise.

There's still time before the ceremony

for you to go back out there and mingle.

So sober up.

Drink that coffee before it's...

too late.

CHEERING

(PANTS)

(LAUGHS)

(GROANS AND EXHALES LOUDLY)

OK, we're all here. What's the big surprise?

We don't know.

Doc Bogart called and told us to bring you down here.

It's ridiculous.

Charlie!

Dan!

Hey, quit this. Get your butt back down to the club!

Rachel, you sweetheart.

Oh, God.

Hey, Dad!

Yes, what?

Take a look.

(CREW MEMBER) Overhead up! OK, roll it.

I can't believe it.

I did everything I could to get that shell, how did you do it?

We all pulled together.

Coach. Your Olympic trials crew is ready.

Oh.

If you'd told me, I could have gotten you a deal on a whole case!

Now don't worry about a thing.

I christen the...

the Charlie Halloran.

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

It's not fair. Where's Chandler?

He'll be here.

It's already too late. I'm sure I missed the ceremony.

Calm down, Fiscus, there'll be leftovers.

Finally.

Sorry, Wayne.

Did you make it?

Yes.

Congratulations.

Just between the three of us, admit it,

it was a pretty stupid thing to do.

No.

You don't look so good.

How are you feeling?

Lousy.

Spoken like a true champion.

Terrible. Just terrible.

Bye, Mom, Dad, I'm sorry.

LAVATORY FLUSHES

(TUTS)

Maurice, hope you feel better.

Yeah. (GROANS WEAKLY)

Let's play Fish, it's fun.

He was right about you.

Ah, right. How about Crazy Eights?

OK, Roberta, enough of this crapola.

Now, quit the lollygagging and get married.

I don't want to.

My parents have been living a lie, a sham, a...

Time to grow up, Roberta.

You can't predict the future.

Do you think I wanted Ellen to marry Mark?

But that's turned out OK ...for them.

Now the chances of your being happy are pretty dismal.

But if you don't take the risk,

you'll never have any chance to be happy at all.

Up! Get up!

You, go downstairs and tell them it's showtime.

All right, OK. Just pick one card, any card.

A grown man playing games. Ridiculous!

Now come over here, let's see your dress.

You're all set.

What are you waiting for?

It's the worst day of my life.

Ehrlich. I've got good news.

Roberta wants to tie the knot.

Oh, no, not again.

No, no, no, I mean to get married.

Right, right.

I found him under the dining-room table.

Here, I'll give you a hand. OK, come on, pal. Here you go.

Come on, come on.

I don't care. I don't care.

This wedding goes on as planned.

All I need is a bride, a groom and some music.

(DOGGER) It was awesome, you know?

Victor, what's happening, man?

Dogger, old pal, old buddy of mine. How come you didn't get sick?

You kiddin' me, man? I've been macrobiotic since '73.

Do me a favour, go get Roberta.

All right!

Yeah.

It's amazing what you learn about people at their wedding.

Dogger was telling me about 1967, you and the Gillingham twins.

Gillingham twins?

Oh, my gosh! Yes.

They lived in a dome. They did this thing called the Chinese basket job.

What am I doing, it's my wedding?

Believe it or not, this reminds me of my third marriage.

We can't all be pearls. Mel, strike up the band.

HE PLAYS "HERE COMES THE BRIDE"

I do.

Get out of here, would you, please?

(LAUGHS)

I do.

MUSIC STOPS

I can't marry you. We lost Reverend Collingsworth.

He went down to the hospital with the first wave of victims.

Said it reminded him of his missionary days in New Guinea.

That does it. That tears it. I tried. I give up.

The fates have decreed this guy is not getting married today.

Victor, man, you've got to get married today.

Because we love each other, right?

No, man, because of all the trouble and expense.

You're right.

WOMAN GROANS

Annie. What's going on?

Craig's house, food poisoning.

I'm going to toss my canapes again!

Stomach pumps all around.

All your prayers have been answered.

Looks like the wedding's coming to you!

Hi, Peter.

Go lavage yourself.

Oh, oh, I deserve to be first, I'm the maid of honour.

Right here.

I just can't believe it.

There were people there I hadn't seen in years.

I didn't know Dennis is president of First Federal.

And Jim, chairman of the board at Lampert Levine!

And Jeremy Hoggan, rowing coach at Lee High.

Did you see the shell?

Yes I did, it's a beauty.

I want you to do me a favour. Try to get some rest.

Not yet, no.

I'll see you later.

Shall I go get you some magazines?

No. No, just sit and stay with me for a while.

I've been thinking, I feel kind of badly I never took you

on one of those Caribbean cruises you were always yapping at me about.

Oh, well, we all make mistakes.

Marie, I know I'm not the best husband in the world.

Charlie!

I do. I mean, I'm loud, I'm opinionated,

I don't do what you want me to do all the time.

I even argue with you about raising the kids.

Charlie, I swear.

There hasn't been a moment in the last 39 years

that I haven't thanked God Almighty for giving me you.

The feeling is mutual.

Excuse me, sorry, got to get this through.

Do you, Victor, take this woman, Roberta, to be your wife,

to live together in a covenant of marriage?

Will you love her, comfort her, honour

and keep her in sickness and in health,

forsaking all others be faithful to her as long as you both shall live?

(VICTOR) I do.

And do you, Roberta, take this man, Victor, to be your husband,

to live together in a covenant of marriage?

Will you love him,

comfort him, honour and keep him, in sickness and in health,

and forsaking all others be faithful to him

as long as you both shall live?

Oh, yes. Positive. Definitely.

A simple "I do" will suffice.

I do.

Attagirl!

Now the couple would like to exchange

their own personally written vows.

You're like a woody on the sand at Carmel

on a summer's day...

RETCHING >

Perhaps we'll skip the rest of this.

As constant as the waves rolling on the shore,

so will my love be for you.

You are a sweet summer song in a cold Boston winter.

Now that's poetry.

You are a puppy frolicking in the woods

and I am a kitty, asleep in the warm.

Cut the Rod McKuen, we're running out of time.

And by the powers vested in me,

I now pronounce you man and wife. Kiss the bride.

APPLAUSE

I've never been a maid of honour before, but I've got go.

Charlie! Oh, my God. Charlie! >

Dr Westphall, we need you.

Bob, call the code.

Charlie!

Joan, take your mother outside.

What is... What's happening?

Get her out of here!

Come on.

No, Joan.

What's going on?

Take it easy, Mark, the whole thing worked out for the best.

How is it going to sound

when it gets around that 40 people had food poisoning at my house?

By tomorrow, I'll be the laughing stock

of the entire Boston medical community.

You got two young people started off on the road to matrimony,

I think that's very nice.

I'll go warm up your milk.

Dr Craig!

I must have dozed off.

Luther?

Dr Craig!

What the...?

Ellen, there's a Negro in my pyjamas!

No, he's not here.

But I will give him the message.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Who was that?

Some guy babbling about doing a documentary on Dr Craig.

How was the wedding?

Be grateful you were on call.

(TANNOY) 'Dr Stephanie Noble, report to pathology.'

Hello.

He may have ruptured an aneurysm in his brain.

We rushed the Cat scan.

It shows a massive cerebral haemorrhage.

If he does come out of the coma,

the damage to his brain is so severe that...

He'll be a vegetable?

The question is, do you want to leave him on a respirator?

Or let him go?

Personally, I don't believe in giving up.

But you do have that choice according to

hospital policy on suspending life-support.

Let him go.

Mom?

It's his time, Gary.

I'd like us to go in now and say goodbye.

Yes, he will.

He'll know we're there.

You OK?

Of course.

I'm Charlie Halloran's daughter.
