- Lift me up. Please.

- Well, all right, seeing that you're a hero. Can't refuse a hero... And up we go.

- Now, how's that? High enough?

- That's fine. Thanks.

- Now then, you've got to do something for me in return. I brought you some pills, and I want you to take them. They'll let you sleep tonight.

- Just a minute. Who's that man out in the hall? What's he doing here?

- Who? Oh. Oh, a visitor. Just a visitor.

- Poor man. He's taking it so hard. He's so devoted. He's been sitting there for hours. His wife, she was hurt in an automobile accident, and he hasn't left her for a minute.

- He's from Bakersfield. His name is Nelson.

- Would you ask him to come in here? I want to see him. I want to talk to him.

- Well, uh... All right.

- Mr. Nelson? Uh, Mr. Nelson? Will you come here a minute?

- I hear your wife was in an accident.

- What?

- Oh, yes. I'll never forget it as long as I live. I'll never forgive myself. You see, I was doing the driving at the time.

- It had to be her, only her. It couldn't be me. I didn't even get a scratch. I'm sick about it.

- Oh, you mustn't reproach yourself. That's foolish. And your wife's going to be perfectly all right.
