Original subtitles

FRANK: (NARRATES) The philosopher Voltaire once said that,

"Doctors prescribe medicines of which they know little

"to cure diseases of which they know less

"in human beings of whom they know nothing."

I say there's so much more to it than that.

Dr Campion? Mmm.

Can I borrow you for one minute? (GRUNTS)

BREE: This is Gemma MacKenzie. Hey, Gemma.

5-year history of pulmonary fibrosis.

But she's never been this bad before. Never.

Let's get you inside. See what we're dealing with.

Her oxygen sats are 95% and BP's 100/50.

She'll be alright, won't she?

Well, we'll know more once the doctors have examined her.

Come on.

Just be gentle with her - please.

Try and stay as upright as you can. We'll need portable X-ray.

Full bloods? Please.

You have significant crackles on both your lungs.

Have you had BIPAP before? (GROANS)

She hates it. Makes her feel like she's drowning.

It's OK. I'll be alright.

Good luck, Gemma. (CHUCKLES) It's not luck I need.

Any chest pain at all?

Last night she said it felt like

there was something crushing her ribs.

Portable's on its way.

Right. Let's do an ECG as well. Yep. No problem.

You take a break. Get something to eat while they do all this.

Are you kidding? I'm not going anywhere, OK?

I'm staying right here.

Please, Andy. You don't need to be here.

Hey, why don't you come with me?

I've got some questions to ask about your wife's medical history.

We won't be far away.

OK. I love you.

She could hardly breathe last night.

I... I thought I was gonna lose her.

Well, why didn't you call an ambulance?

She wanted to stay at home. Gemma hates hospitals.

No offence. No. None taken.

It's just that she's been sick for so long.

Do they have any idea what caused the illness?

It might've been some drug they were using to treat her lymphoma.

Oh. Your wife had cancer. Yeah.

Yeah, but she beat that. And she'll beat this too.

ELLIOTT: I think you could use me

on something other than low-category cases.

Why? Are they beneath you? No. I didn't say that.

But nurses can take care of coughs and colds and call us if needed.

You could do what you're told. I've proved myself. Haven't I?

No, you haven't.

What you've done is show potential.

Yes, you have enough knowledge to make a good doctor

but now you have to decide what kind of doctor you want to be.

I've done that ever since I got here.

I know that I'd much rather deal with saving someone's life

than bandaging up a sprained wrist.

Listen, pal, no matter how trivial you may find it,

I can assure you -

patients take their own pain very seriously.

Yeah, I know that. Do you?

I believe you've got your first customer.

Von! Von.

Melinda, this is Dr Parker.

What can I do for you today? I've got a pain in my belly.

I'm busy.

These your patient files, are they?

Yeah. Admin's going to need them for whoever replaces me.

You're determined to go ahead with this ridiculous idea, are you?

I am.

To do what?

Well, no, I'm not sure yet, but...

I suppose you could write a book about everything you've seen in here.

No-one would believe it. True.

True.

Who have you told?

Just you and Admin.

And that's all that needs to know.

OK!

(MACHINE BEEPS STEADILY)

Hopefully this will ease the fluid build-up in your lungs.

Every little bit helps, right?

You said you'd had BIPAP before,

so you know you'll be on it for two hours and then a half-hour break.

Yeah, I know.

Gemma's X-rays are back.

Is it alright if your husband comes in now?

Oh, yes. Of course.

Hi, darling.

How's it going? Are you feeling any better?

They're about to...

..hook me up to the torture device.

I know. But it'll help.

It'll help. It always helps. Yeah.

I also hunted down Gemma's old X-rays.

They might be useful for comparison.

And her specialist notes are at staff base.

Thank you. My pleasure.

Adam.

Turn that up to maximum settings. Sure.

Why? What's wrong?

The scarring in her lungs is more extensive than it was six months ago

and there's also quite a lot more fluid build-up.

But what we're doing, this will help, right?

It will help make her more comfortable, yes.

But... That's all we need to know.

(MACHINE BEEPS)

I'm right here, darling. Just like always.

(GASPS)

(GASPS)

I'm happy to follow through on this one if you're busy.

At least get the initial examination done.

Thanks. But we can take it from here.

It hurts.

I'll leave you to it, then. Everything alright?

Yeah. Stuck in Triage all day.

No, I'm just stuck on category-five cases.

Apparently it'll help me work out what sort of doctor to be.

Oh, I don't miss that.

So it's not just me? No, Frank puts everyone through it.

Just be thankful he's not lecturing you on his philosophy of medicine.

That's something, I guess.

Oh, no. What is it?

I wet my pants.

Oh, that's OK! We'll get you cleaned up.

Bart, I don't think this is urine.

I just need to have a feel of your tummy.

Melinda, are you pregnant?

No.

W-why would you say that?

Well, you haven't wet yourself. Your waters have broken.

I think that you're going into labour.

What...? You're going to have a baby.

I... What?

Have you been travelling overseas recently?

Nah.

And how long have you had the symptoms?

I don't know. What time is it?

I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like crap

so if you want me to be specific

I'm going to need to know what time it is.

I don't need you to be that specific. Suit yourself.

BP's within normal range but he's a little tachy.

Excuse me?!

You don't even know me.

'Tachy' means your heart's beating faster then normal.

Oh, yeah. Carry on.

(BEEP!) And temp's up. 38.1.

Alright, we'll take some bloods, get fluids up.

Is that it?

We can't treat you until we know what's wrong.

I'm sick. That's what's wrong with me.

'Sick' isn't a diagnosis.

Ooh!

Sorry.

I'll find him a cubicle.

How old is she? 15.

But she seems a bit... developmentally delayed.

Like she doesn't know what's going on.

What's her name? Melinda.

We're gonna look after you, OK? I don't want to do this!

Hi, Melinda. I'm Von.

Please make it stop.

Oh, I'm sorry. I can't do that.

But I can help you get through it.

Now, it's going to be a very good idea

not to hold your breath.

Come on. Breathe.

Oh! Yes! Much better.

How dilated is she?

I don't know. She's been too agitated to examine.

Don't you think we should find out?

Hey, come on. Breathe. Keep breathing. Nice deep breaths.

Good. I'm scared.

I know you are.

But the doctor, he's going to check how far through the labour you are

and then I'll talk you through what's going to happen next.

OK? OK.

Ah! Where are you off to?

That'd be none of your business.

You got the results of the biopsy yet?

Between me and my doctor. So, no.

Look, they've just come in.

I'm on my way to get the good news now.

If it IS good news. I think it will be.

I've been feeling a lot better lately. Less pain.

And it doesn't hurt to pee anymore.

Well, that could be because

you've stopped taking the anti-inflammatories, you know.

Well, it could be because the kidney's repairing itself.

Er, listen, Mike...

Frank, if you're gonna give me any platitudes, please just don't.

I was just gonna point out

if you do have pain during urination it could be your prostate.

You're no spring chicken anymore.

Look who's talking.

You will let me know about those results, won't you?

Yeah.

(BREATHES SHALLOWLY)

(GASPS)

You know... you know what I'm gonna do when we get out of here?

I'm gonna take you back to Venice.

You loved that.

How long have you two been together?

Since university.

(GASPS) Don't...

OK, OK.

(GASPS) I can't do it.

Come on. You have to. You have to, Gemma. It's helping.

It's smothering me!

It's OK. You can have a little rest.

Just have some of that. That's just oxygen.

I'm so sorry you've got to go through all this again.

I'll just go and get the doctors.

(FAINTLY) Andy...

..I'm so tired.

I know. I know.

We have all your test results back.

It's not good.

The damage to your lungs is extensive, Gemma, and...

..it's irreversible.

ADAM: And her heart's being overloaded

trying to pump the little oxygen left to the rest of her body.

Well, we...

..we know she's ill.

What are you trying to say?

Andy...

..I'm dying.

No. Yeah.

There's gotta be something you can do.

There isn't. I'm sorry.

There must be SOMETHING you can do.

We need to talk about what intervention you'd like.

Everything. I mean it, alright?

Throw everything you've got at this damn stinking disease.

Have you got that?

She is not dying.

Andy... She's not dying!

(MOANS, BREATHES SHALLOWLY)

You've got to... you've got to make him understand.

Oh, please.

Oh, please make him understand.

I won't pretend to understand how hard this is for you.

Or for your wife.

I just...

..wish you could have known her when she was well.

She had so much energy.

So full of life.

I had to struggle to keep up with her.

And even when she first got sick...

..she never let it get her down.

She was determined to beat that cancer

and she did.

Only to have the cure end up worse than the disease.

Andrew, you need to focus on her right now.

Spend some time together and savour...

I should go home and get some things for her.

Wait. She'll be here a while.

She'll need her pillow and blankets. She needs you!

My wife's been in and out of hospital for years.

I know what she needs better than you!

I'll be back as soon as I can. Just let her know. Thank you.

(SPLUTTERS) Hey, hey. There we go.

Gemma, listen to me. You need the oxygen.

(GASPS) No.

He wouldn't listen, would he?

I'm sorry.

Maybe when he's had time to think about what we've told him.

No.

Have you two talked about

how you wanted this to be when the time came?

Oh... a hundred times.

He just says, "We'll be together forever."

Put the BIPAP back on.

You don't have to put yourself through this again.

Yes, I do.

Until he understands, I have to... hang on.

Please.

OK.

(GASPS)

(GASPS, SOBS)

She's 8cm dilated.

Want me to get onto Maternity? I'll do it in a sec.

Can you get 50mg of pethidine?

It hurts.

Well, we'll give you something for that in a second.

OK, I'm just gonna put a needle into the back of your hand.

No, I hate needles! No, no.

This needle, it just stings just for a bit

and then we can give you some medicine to make it all better.

(MOANS)

You do want this pain to go away.

Yeah. Right.

Now, how can I contact your family?

(MOANS)

You can pray.

They've in heaven now.

So if you want to talk to them you have to pray.

(MOANS)

And the baby's father?

You do know how babies are made, don't you?

Of course I do!

Well, you give me his name and number and I'll call him.

I can't tell you. Why not?

Because he said if anyone ever found out we took our clothes off

he'd go to jail and I'd be on my own forever.

I don't want to be on my own.

There we go. All over now.

Here you are.

Now, this is going to make you feel a lot better.

Can I go home when the pain stops?

No, sweetheart.

You have to stay here until your baby is born.

I'm not having a baby!

Yes, you are.

That is what this pain is all about.

Do you understand?

OK. Let's try this again.

CLAIRE: His temp's still up.

I started him on the fluids you asked for

and the bloods have been sent off.

Oh, and I've added a urine sample to the list.

Why?

'Cause you didn't ask for it and the nurse thought it was necessary.

OK.

Um, start him on 10mg of metoclopramide for the nausea.

You don't remember me, do ya?

I'm sorry. No. Have you been here before?

No.

So, how do you know me?

You dated my sister.

Well, you slept with her every night for a week

and then dumped her when something better came along.

I'm gonna see if I can chase up Pathology for those blood results.

Yeah, don't do me any favours, you wanker!

You haven't fallen for his big act, have ya?

No, I haven't.

Yep. That'd be great.

Can I confirm that later on today?

OK. I'll be in touch.

Acute interstitial nephritis.

Oh, bloody hell.

I was hoping to blame it on the anti-inflammatories

but I stopped taking them a while ago

and there's been no improvement since, so...

So the damage to your kidney could be permanent.

Have you told your crew you'll be out of action?

Something else to look forward to.

They need to know. Yeah, they will.

Vlasek, you'll be OK, mate.

Just... remember that you're not Superman at the moment.

Not that you ever bloody were.

Mike say what he wanted?

No. He just wanted to talk to us both.

Did he sound alright? I don't know.

Sounded like Mike, OK? OK!

You don't have to bite my head off, Steve.

I'll catch up. Something I need to do.

We should talk. I'm busy.

Well, then, I'll talk, you listen.

I know how scared you must be about having this baby. I am too.

But before you do anything stupid... What, Steve?

We should pick out names? Decide what school it's gonna go to?

That's not what I meant. I should never have told you.

Yeah, but you did tell me.

Before I can get my head around it,

you announce that you're gonna terminate the pregnancy.

What the hell's that's about?

It's about me knowing that having this baby would be a mistake.

Why? Bec...

I can't talk about this now.

(GROANS) You're doing really well, Melinda.

I need to go toilet. OK. You might tell Bart to hurry.

Oh, what's happening?

Oh! You're having your baby.

Now.

Well, she didn't realise she was having the baby

so she's had no prenatal care at all.

(GROANS) Yes. Thank you.

Just so you know, we are never having sex again

plus you can completely forget about

that house full of kids you're always going on about.

If we're not having sex again it's a given we're not having kids.

I mean it! She's going through hell. Bart!

(GROANS) Oh, my God!

Where's the obstetrician? Said he'd be here in an hour or so.

Well, we don't have an hour.

Run to Maternity. Get a foetal monitor and a cot.

Now!

OK, help me turn the bed around. Give her more privacy.

(WAILS)

I've never actually delivered a baby before.

Then get someone who has. Right.

OK, won't be long. Soon you'll be saying hello to your baby.

Come on. Back, back, back. (MOANS)

You sure you don't need a break? No.

I hope you understand how amazing you are.

Don't think I could ever be as strong as what you're being now.

You must love your husband very much.

Not as much as he loves her.

(GASPS) Oh, hang on.

Here we are. Let's get rid of these horrible hospital pillows.

(GASPS) Get old favourite back there.

Yeah, that's better, isn't it?

I thought you were coming back. Oh! What?

What would make you think that? You've been gone so long.

Had to wait for the taxi and then when I got in the taxi

I realised I didn't have my wallet with me.

What's the story here? End-stage pulmonary fibrosis.

What's with the BIPAP?

That's not gonna do much good. I know that and she knows that.

It's the husband who's struggling with the concept.

Where's Von? Isn't it still her job to take care of things like this?

Von's busy and we've got it covered. Bloody well hope so.

'Cause you're putting the woman through purgatory for no good reason.

It's her choice.

She needs her husband to give her permission to go.

And I told her you probably wouldn't be able to make next week's meeting.

So you know what she said?

She said, "That's alright. We'll come to the hospital.

"Have the meeting in here." (GASPS)

Andrew?

We really need to start talking about what's gonna happen here.

There's plenty of time for that.

There's plenty of time, isn't there? (GASPS)

There's plenty of time for that.

You're doing such a good job, baby.

How are you feeling, Jasper?

Like crap, Claire. How 'bout you? Don't give her a hard time.

She's the one responsible for working out what's wrong with you.

Can I request another doctor?

You can, if that's what you really want.

Yeah, that's what I really want.

Wouldn't trust this guy as far as I can throw him.

So I took your sister out. So what? So you're a root rat. Admit it.

Look who's talking. Elliot!

How many sexual partners have you had the last year?

You don't have to answer that. Damn right I don't.

It's none of your bloody business. Really?

Because this infection you've got isn't very common in men

and when it does occur it's usually the result of diabetes,

which you don't have, or an abnormal anatomy.

Elliot!

In the absence of those possibilities,

it's usually having tons of sex with lots of different partners.

(MACHINE BEEPS) He's reacting to the antibiotics.

Jasper? Jasper, open your eyes for me.

I'll get the Resus trolley.

Don't you dare die on me, you bastard.

Mmm. The head's crowning.

That means it's time.

So the next contraction you feel, you push.

I'm scared. I know, darling.

But you're doing well. Scrub up. Get a gown on.

Why?

Because, Bartholomew, you're about to deliver a baby.

Are you serious?

I need to push. Hurry up. You might miss it.

Nervous? No.

Yes, a bit.

I love you.

Bart, hey, hold on.

Er, just a hint. You need to be down this end!

There's too much swelling. I can't get the tube in.

His oxygen sats are still dropping.

Alright, set up for a cricothyroidotomy.

Isn't there something else we can try?

Can't get an airway established through the mouth.

Have to go through the neck.

Ever done one before? No.

And this is a good time to practice?

Patient can't breathe any other way. It's the perfect time.

Stabilise the larynx with your thumb and forefinger.

Palpate the cricoid cartilage.

What if I've got the wrong placement? You're doing well. Keep going.

Alright. Make an incision 2.5 centimetres long.

I'm gonna have to go on dialysis as soon as possible.

See if that restores renal function.

Sorry, Mike. We had no idea how serious it was.

Well, it still might not be. Depends if the treatment works.

What if it doesn't?

He'll be looking at dialysis long-term.

Or a transplant, right?

Yeah, right.

You do whatever you gotta do. We'll be here.

It's not that simple, Joh.

I've got no way of knowing how long I'll be out of action

or even if I'll ever get back.

So I'm gonna have to shut down the MRU

till I can find a replacement surgeon.

That's a bit premature, isn't it? I wish it was.

I'm sorry.

I know I dragged you guys from other jobs to be a part of this.

We wanted to be a part of it. Didn't we, Steve?

Yeah. Yeah, we did.

Look, while you're looking for another surgeon,

find someone to replace me too.

I'm not talking about disbanding the team altogether.

I'll go and talk to him. This sucks!

(SIGHS)

Has it helped? Just give her a minute, mate.

She definitely seems to be breathing easier.

I don't need a medical degree to tell me that.

That fluid isn't shifting at all. Then, we just keep going, right?

'Cause sooner or later it'll make a difference.

Andrew?

Come on, Gem.

Keep going, darlin'. Just one more time.

I can't.

Yes, you can. She needs a break from the machine.

I'm just trying to help, OK? Don't.

Why don't we step out and get some fresh air?

Go.

It's hard, isn't it?

Wanting so badly to help but not being able to?

You have no idea.

Tell me, do you understand what's happening in there?

My wife is fighting for her life. That's what's happening.

Do you understand why?

She's sick. Of course I understand. What sort of idiot do you think I am?

I don't think you're an idiot at all.

I think you're fighting just as hard as she is.

But for very different reasons.

What's that supposed to mean?

You don't want to let go.

I understand that,

but as long as you're holding on as tight as you are, she can't rest.

And by 'rest' you mean... you mean 'die'.

Yeah, that's what I mean.

Mate, she's in pain. Every breath is a struggle.

Just shut up, will you?

Shut up!

(SNIFFS) Shut up.

You say the word and we will stop the medical intervention.

My husband has given me more...

..more joy than you can possibly imagine.

Every happy memory I have is with him.

We understand that.

But if he is unable to accept the truth of what is happening to you,

you need to think about what you need, not what he wants.

You've obviously never been in love.

(GASPS)

So I'm supposed to just accept the fact

that the MRU's losing both of its doctors?

One without any explanation whatsoever.

I just don't wanna talk about it, OK? Look, here's the deal, Steve.

You know that I won't give up till you tell me what's going on.

And you'll probably cave,

so why don't we save a whole lot of time and energy and you...

Gabrielle's terminating the pregnancy.

Sorry. Me too.

Did she say why? She won't even talk to me.

What are you gonna do?

Going back to the country.

There always looking for doctors out there

and right now I wanna be as far away from this place as I can get.

Breath sounds are good. And sats are improving.

We did it. (SIGHS)

Thank God.

Are you OK?

Yeah. I'm surprisingly OK.

Hey, there.

You had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic we gave you

so we cut a hole in your neck to help you breathe.

Won't be forever, Jasper. (CROAKS) You bastard!

Hey, hey, hey! That's enough.

Least I know I didn't damage his vocal cords.

Does that feel any better? Ah...

Is there anything else that I can get for you?

No.

Charlotte?

Can I talk to my wife, please? Of course.

My little Gem.

I love you more than anything.

And I don't know what I'm gonna do without you.

I can't stand to see you in this pain.

So if you wanna go...

..I understand.

I just need you to be OK.

That's all I care about.

I'll be fine.

I promise.

I love you.

(GASPS)

What did you say to him? Nothing special.

We just talked about love, that's all.

(MOANS AND HUFFS) Keep going.

Not much longer. You're almost there.

Let the baby come in its own time, Homer.

OK, the head's out. Stop pushing, Melinda.

Alright, now short shallow breaths.

Now we have to release the bub's shoulder.

Gently.

(GASPS AND GROANS)

(BABY CRIES)

Brilliant girl!

And there we are.

Well done, Homer. Thanks.

Hello!

You have a little girl. I don't want her.

Come on, now. Come on. Take her away. I don't want her.

Shhh!

(WHISPERS) How did she go?

She passed all her tests with flying colours.

Clever baby.

Don't get any ideas. I'm not!

What will happen if Melinda doesn't change her mind?

Case will be referred to DOCS. She'll be fostered out, I guess.

I don't know how anyone could give up this beautiful little girl.

Me neither.

Are you in any pain? No. Not anymore.

But I'm hungry.

Oh. Well, I'll organise something for you to eat,

after we've had a little talk.

I'm tired. I want to go to sleep.

OK. I'll strike a deal with you.

I'll get you food, you rest.

And when you're feeling better,

we'll talk about what we're going to do about the baby.

I told you what I wanted to do with it. Give it to someone else.

Can you tell us why you wanna do that?

Melinda?

Because I'm stupid and I won't be able to look after it.

You are not stupid! Yes, I am.

David said no-one else will ever love me except for him

because I'm retar... 'cause I'm retarded.

Er, that's a word we don't use here, sweetheart.

How can I look after a baby? I didn't even know I was having one.

Can you tell us who this 'David' is?

Is he the baby's father?

Well, maybe he just said those things

to get you to do what he wanted.

Because, I'm telling you right now,

you're not stupid.

And I'm a nurse, so I know.

And the doctor here, he doesn't think you're stupid.

Do you, Dr Campion? Absolutely not.

Really? Mmm.

So if that's the only reason you don't want your baby,

I think you should give it a bit more thought.

What do you say?

I don't even have a job. How am I meant to buy her clothes?

Oh, we can work that out.

That's what I do. That's my job.

I help people help themselves.

She just... took a breath and...

..then she stopped.

You gave her an incredible gift today.

(WHISPERS) You were strong, mate.

We were strong...

..together.

ELLIOTT: The doctors in Intensive Care will look after you now

so good luck.

Oh, that's OK. You can thank us later.

Who the bloody hell did that?

Er, that would be me.

Under whose supervision?

Mine.

Oh, well, that's alright, then.

As long as a NURSE was instructing an INTERN,

nothing could possibly go wrong!

We had no choice. He had an anaphylactic reaction to medication.

I don't care if he had a bloody litter of kittens!

Frank... And what were you bloody thinking?

Leave her out. It was my call, my responsibility.

I could have you thrown off the intern program for this.

Yeah. Yeah, you could.

But this morning you asked me what sort of doctor I wanted to be.

Well, I want to be one who'd rather get his arse kicked

for saving a life than worrying about a protocol.

If that means the end of my career, fine.

But I will leave with my head held high.

Well, about bloody time.

I've been waiting for you to show a little bit of passion.

Well done.

(LAUGHS) Here you go.

Come and meet your mummy.

(WHIMPERS) She's so tiny.

(LAUGHS) Isn't she?

What are you going to call her?

Rainbow. Because that's my very favourite thing.

Hmm.

That would be a lovely middle name.

What was your mother called?

Sarah. Sarah!

Sarah Rainbow Delaney.

Yeah. That's what I'll call you.

Hi, Sarah.

Alright, I'll organise a social worker

for follow-up care and maternity.

Would you give the police this David's name?

See if they can track him down.

And kick his arse, I hope.

Think she'll be OK? With proper support.

JO: Gabrielle? Yeah?

Hi. Hi.

Look, I know that this is none of my business.

But Steve has decided to move back to the country.

I just thought that you should know that.

(MACHINE BEEPS)

(BABY'S HEART BEATS)

See you tomorrow.

Waiting for the joint to fall over now that you're leaving?

Something like that.

You did well today.

I always do well. (CHUCKLES)

Do you know, we have worked together for longer than I care to remember.

We have.

And during all that time, I have never once shouted you a meal.

Why do you think that is?

Because you're miserable.

(LAUGHS) Well, today, everything's going to change.

Put on your best duds. I'll pick you up at seven.

No need for that!

Listen, if you're going to try and slip out quietly,

the least you can do is let me buy you dinner.

Will it be expensive? Yes, it'll cost me an arm and a leg.

Seven, then. Don't dare be late.

Hmm.

(JAZZY MUSIC PLAYS)

Evening. Evening, Jeffrey.

(CACKLES EVILLY)

ALL: (SHOUT) Surprise!

(LAUGHS) You bastard.

Yeah.

Oh! You really didn't know?

No, it's a big surprise.

Good on you, Von.

(ALL SPEAK AT ONCE)

You know the place isn't gonna be the same without you.

It's true.

You'll survive. (BOTH LAUGH)

Excuse me.

I told Frank he was delusional when he said you were leaving.

He is delusional. But not about that.

I was going to tell you. When?

Tomorrow.

When it was too late for me to throw a tantrum about it.

Oh, that was your plan, was it?

Yep.

I'll miss seeing you every day.

I'll never be far away from you, kiddo.

I love you. You know that.

So how long do you think the MRU will be down?

Depends how long it takes me to find replacement doctors,

get them trained up.

JO: How long it takes ME to get them trained up, you mean?

Yeah - how long it takes her.

I'll tell you what, if you can train those two,

you can train slugs to...

Oh! (MURMURS) All the best.

Bye.

(FRANK CHUCKLES)

Steve, wait. Wait!

Where are you going? Home!

To pack? (SIGHS) Oh, bloody Jo.

It is true? You are running away again.

What do you expect me to do? No, I'm sorry.

I didn't come out here to fight. I didn't.

Then what do you want?

I think it's useless to pretend that I don't care about you.

I do.

What are you saying?

I'm saying... I think I want to have this baby.

And if you would like to be a part of that, that would be...

..good.

You're doing my head in, Gabby. I know. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I can do this by myself.

I realise that now.

Oh, but I'd rather do it with you.

You sure this is what you want?

Yeah.

(SIGHS)

Could I have everyone's attention, please?

(SOFTLY) Er, if I could just have your attention...

(SHOUTS) Quiet!

Thank you very much.

Now, I think we all know why we're here.

And since Von, for once in her life, has decided to keep her mouth shut,

it falls to me to take care of a few formalities.

Just keep these coming. Sure.

Hopefully I'll pass out before he gets revved up.

(BOTH SNICKER)

You know, in trying to encapsulate the long and distinguished career

of a dear colleague,

I'm often reminded of something

that the French philosopher Voltaire once said.

Voltaire said that, "Doctors prescribe medicines,

"about which they know little,

"to cure diseases, about which they know less,

"to human beings, about which they know nothing."

Hey. Hey.

You OK? Yeah.

Yeah, just a bit sad, that's all.

Hey - you can be happy for her that she's doing something for herself.

Besides, you've got me to look after you.

Forever?

(LAUGHS)

Yeah, forever.

Marry me, then.

I love you.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

FRANK: I tell you, the very first day in the E.D.,

she fixed me with that evil eye of hers

and I knew I was in trouble.

Will you speak so highly of me when I'm not around?

I think you'll be back on your feet in no time.

Yeah? What makes you so confident? Because I couldn't be that lucky.

(LAUGHS)

We're getting married!

What? What?!

(ALL SQUEAL)

Say you're happy or I'll scream.

I'm happy, I'm happy! It's the best news I've had in months. Well done!

Thanks, Frank. So you'll be moving out?

(BOTH LAUGH)

I can see you two in five years time surrounded by kids.

Oh, one kid, maybe. One, one or two?

OK, but I am taking every drug possible during labour.

I'm with her.

Good boy.

Are you OK?

Yeah, I just can't believe how different things are going to be.

Listen, why don't you, um...

..come back to my place sometime and have dinner and meet Zach?

I'd like that.

ALL: (SHOUT) Speech! Speech! Speech!

No. No!

(LAUGHTER)

I hate this.

Alright, well, um...

No, look, I don't know what to say, really,

but I spent a lot of time at All Saints and...

..memories, and...

Look, I'd just like to, um...

..thank you all for...

..your loyalty,

your support...

..and love.

Oh, bugger this. Here's to us!

ALL: To us!

SONG: ♪ There are places I remember

♪ All my life Though some have changed

♪ Some forever not for better

♪ Some have gone and some remain

♪ All these places have their moments

♪ With lovers and friends I still can recall

♪ Some are dead and some are living

♪ In my life, I've loved them all

♪ But of all these friends and lovers

♪ There is no-one compares with you

♪ And these memories lose their meaning

♪ When I think of love as something new

♪ Though I know I'll never lose affection

♪ For people and things I still can recall

♪ I know I'll often stop and think about them

♪ In my life, I loved you more...

♪ Though I know I'll never lose affection

♪ For people and things I still can recall

♪ I know I'll often stop and think about them

♪ In my life, I loved you more

♪ In my life, I loved you more. ♪
