I infinitely prefer the latter method, which is the one Dr. Kildare 397 00:23:59,220 --> 00:24:03,020 But you never came right out and told her what it is that she has. 398 00:24:03,260 --> 00:24:04,260 Oh, of course not. 399 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,360 She didn't really want me to. Well, then what does she want? 400 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,680 When I said that she was just anemic, she called me a lousy liar and ran out 401 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:13,680 the house. 402 00:24:14,580 --> 00:24:18,520 Because, Arthur, in terms of competence, you were being a very lousy liar, and 403 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:19,520 she knew it. 404 00:24:19,940 --> 00:24:23,200 Dr. Kildare simply confirmed something it would have been ridiculous to deny, 405 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:24,600 that she's ill. 406 00:24:25,940 --> 00:24:29,700 This is the threshold at which a doctor stops, unless the patient absolutely 407 00:24:29,700 --> 00:24:33,440 insists on his crossing it. After all, they know you've been candid, that 408 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,040 not lying, but you haven't made it impossible for them to do a little lying 409 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:41,020 themselves. You haven't killed hope, and not just for sentimental reasons. 410 00:24:42,490 --> 00:24:44,330 Killing things doesn't happen to be part of our job. 411 00:24:45,930 --> 00:24:47,670 I still think it was a mistake. 412 00:24:49,050 --> 00:24:50,430 And it's a mistake I would have made. 413 00:24:51,010 --> 00:24:53,470 I don't quarrel with the theory, Leonard. 414 00:24:54,130 --> 00:24:58,710 It's just that in this case, in Julie's case, I think it's going to backfire on 415 00:24:58,710 --> 00:25:01,770 us. She's never faced reality in her life. She's never had to. 416 00:25:02,130 --> 00:25:05,090 I'm not criticizing her. I'm just trying to make you see something. 417 00:25:06,750 --> 00:25:10,830 When I was 19, my mother remarried. I was working my way through college. I 418 00:25:10,830 --> 00:25:11,830 completely on my own. 419 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,220 And from the moment that Julie was born, she was protected. 420 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,160 I might say pampered, except they weren't that rich, but they were well 421 00:25:20,260 --> 00:25:21,260 comfortable. 422 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,880 Whatever Julie wanted, she got. 423 00:25:25,060 --> 00:25:27,700 And then when the folks died, I took over. 424 00:25:28,540 --> 00:25:30,580 Oh, no, I'm not trying to pin any medals on myself. 425 00:25:31,020 --> 00:25:33,100 It's $500 a month.

It's quite 439 00:26:21,290 --> 00:26:22,290 natural. 440 00:26:22,730 --> 00:26:26,370 None of us want to face someone who senses that he is facing death. 441 00:26:27,570 --> 00:26:31,610 There's always the chance that he may see the look of relief in our eyes that 442 00:26:31,610 --> 00:26:33,030 was chosen before we were. 443 00:26:35,850 --> 00:26:36,850 I... 444 00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:39,120 Don't deny it. 445 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,820 Then stop feeling guilty about it. 446 00:26:43,500 --> 00:26:44,620 Everybody wants to be last. 447 00:26:50,100 --> 00:26:51,920 Should Julie be in the hospital? 448 00:26:52,820 --> 00:26:55,440 There's no need for it yet, unless she wants to be.
