All Saints (1998) s01e20 Episode Script

1
Hello.
Morning.
You're here early.
Yeah. Waiting on results
for your newest customer.
Who is?
Bowen, yes.
Room one.
Yeah.
Back a bit more. Dummy.
I don't want to choke her.
You're doing a good job there.
Yeah, he's really good with her, eh?
It's just getting her used to
the bottle.
I wanted to keep breastfeeding
but Dr Bowen said that with the
antibiotics it wasn't a good idea.
Yeah, yeah.
She's beautiful.
I'm Terri, by the way.
What's her name?
Karen Elizabeth.
Sweet little one, you're perfect,
aren't you?
She's the best thing
that's happened to us.
Even if she was a bit of a surprise.
Results are in.
Julie. Craig.
The tests indicate a condition known
as subacute bacterial endocarditis
and that's an infection that forms
growths on the valves of the heart.
An infection? What about the baby?
It's nothing she can catch.
I thought it was just flu
or something.
No. It's a bit more serious
than that, I'm afraid.
We're going to have to keep you
in here for about six weeks.
Six weeks?
But you can take antibiotics
at home.
Well, she'll need
to be closely monitored.
You see, clumps of bacteria
can break off.
They can travel round
the bloodstream
and cause you
all sorts of complications.
That won't happen, though -
not with the antibiotics.
Well, we hope not.
Who knows -
might not even takes six weeks.
Better not.
She might starve to death
before I get used to
this bottle feeding thing.
Dag! You'll have to get used to
doing a lot more things than that.
Are we talking denial here or what?
Sometimes it doesn't matter
how you put it,
some people just don't want
to hear bad news.
She'd been a bit wheezy
and had some chest pains,
but could I get her
to do anything about it?
I thought it was just nerves -
a new baby and that.
And we just got over the wedding.
We decided to get married
after I'd had the baby
so the dress would look nice.
My mum was alright about it.
Yeah. Mine was spewin'
'cause we didn't have a priest.
She's still cross about the baby.
Hi.
Dr Bowen's going to transfer you
to the Cardiac ward.
Suits us.
She'll get the best care.
Now, are you clear on everything?
Is anything you want to ask?
No. We figure you guys
know what you're doing.
Oh, I'm sorry. These are
the only ones I can find.
Oh, I hope nobody's
already done all the crosswords.
Did you get the one with Diana
on the cover?
Oh no.
Sorry.
Maybe your husband can bring in
the Liz Taylor one.
What, and drag himself out
of the TAB for five minutes?
Fat chance of that.
Men - you can't live with them, you
can't poke them with a cattle prod.
If I'd known we were going to share
with the opposite sex,
I would have got sick much sooner.
He won't be here for long. It's just
until we can find another bed.
Oh, no worries, love.
This is the best thrill
we've had in ages.
If you guys find any magazines
lying around
Sorry?
For the three old ladies
in room 4.
What - are they playing up a bit?
Yeah, and they're driving
Mr Cummins crazy.
Oh, and Connor.
Oh, they're just bored.
No dinner, no movie.
Fitzy's got me working my bum off.
Oh, OK.
Sorry.
(Clears throat) I'm sorry
to interrupt, sister.
I was told
to present myself here this morning.
Right, let me just check.
It's Mr Howard - Reginald G.
Yes, I've had a call about you -
someone wasn't here.
I'm not velcroed to the desk.
Inguinal hernia, isn't it?
Yes, that's right.
Mr Fitzer is my surgeon.
Yep, here we are - room 2.
You know, I've been
quite looking forward to this.
Two days in bed - a chance to
catch up with some reading.
"When we are born,
"we cry that we are come
to this great stage of fools."
'King Lear'. The Bard.
First operation, then?
Yes. I've been most fortunate.
Oh, nice PJs.
Now, you'll need have a shower
and change into this.
It just ties up at the back. OK?
It's a bit short, isn't it?
One size fits all, they reckon.
Doesn't it gape a little
at the back?
Nothing we haven't seen before.
You wouldn't have a couple
of safety pins, would you?
I'd be more comfortable.
I'll give you another one. Then you
can wear it like a dressing-gown.
How thoughtful.
Now, showers are first door on
the right along the corridor, OK?
I can take you there if you'd like.
No, no. I'll be fine.
I'm sure you're busy.
My late wife's sister was a nurse.
You people do a marvellous job.
Thank you.
Give you a bit of privacy.
Put her on her back.
I know.
He's so sweet
the way he holds Karen.
She's a gorgeous baby.
You know, I was hopeless
in midwifery.
They had to keep checking my bag
to make sure I hadn't abducted one.
It's really funny, isn't it?
I mean, she'll never have one.
It's her choice.
I'm going to have three.
How about you?
ALARM BUZZES
Oh, it's Julie Allen.
You've gotta help! She can't breathe.
Terri!
Jules? Baby.
Wake up, wake up!
Julie, can you hear me?
Can you hear me, Julie?
She's stopped breathing.
Yep.
Come on, do something!
It would be better
if you wait outside.
Is the lead still attached?
She's stopped breathing. Baby!
She's going to be OK.
Pulmonary arrest.
Bowen's in 12. Quickly.
Jules. Jules.
It's alright, Craig.
Get out of the way.
It's actually much better
if you wait outside.
Please, wait outside. Please.
Wait outside.
I'm staying here!
Right, right.
Jules.
One, two, three, four five
One, two, three, four.
Coming through. What's the story?
..two, three, four.
OK, charging to 200 joules.
One, two, three, four.
Jules, please.
Charged.
Clear.
What's going on?
MONITOR BEEPS
Jesus.
Still here. Still here.
Go again. 200 joules.
Yeah. OK.
Charged.
Clear.
What's going on?
Out of the way.
Out of the way, Craig.
Someone get him out of here, please.
When you get involved with someone
as driven as Lee,
work's going to come first
and you're going to come second.
Hey - I was just looking forward
to getting out
and having some fun tonight.
I'm not getting involved.
Yeah, right.
I'm not!
(Quietly) Mrs Allen's arrested.
Come on, Mr Allen,
I'll make you a nice cup of tea.
No. She needs me.
I've got to be with her.
Mate, it's better if you stay here.
No. I've got to be there.
OK, Connor, she's all yours.
Adrenaline - 1 in 10,000.
1/10,000.
..three, four, five.
One, two, three
What's the story?
Julie Allen. 21 years old. SBE.
I think the valve's stuffed.
OK. Charge again to 300 joules.
Charged.
Clear.
MONITOR BEEPS
Yep. She's breathing OK.
Thank God.
Thank you, everyone.
Blood pressure's low.
But she's going to be OK?
Well, we hope so, Craig.
She's a very sick girl.
I want to get her up to theatre.
We've got to replace
that damaged valve. Yeah?
Julie's husband's here, Dr Bowen.
Your wife needs major heart surgery,
Mr Allen.
But she's going to be OK?
Well, we've re-established
a normal heartbeat for the moment
but she's not out of the woods yet.
But she's OK?
Look, we'll get her up to theatre
as fast as we possibly can.
Sister, the blanket.
There you are - modesty saved.
Jess, take care of these.
I'm just going to take Mr Howard
to theatre.
Playing tea lady now, Connor?
Anything to keep them quiet.
Hey, Connor, these are for you.
More chocolates.
Yeah. Mrs Harrison's family.
Those sweet old ladies love you,
don't they, mate?
They're trying to fatten me up.
Don't complain -
nobody would give me any.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Ward 17, Jared Levine speaking.
(Giggles) Very formal, darling.
Hi, Mum.
Surprise!
Look, we're a little frantic
at the moment.
Can I call you back?
I should be so lucky.
Look, it's nearly your lunch break.
Why don't I take you somewhere?
Lunch?
It will take me an hour to drive out
there and an hour to drive back.
Not if you walk down to reception.
It will take you about two minutes
to do that.
You're at the hospital?
I'm right outside, silly.
That's the surprise.
And guess who I've got with me?
Oh, the even bigger surprise.
Oh, darling, it will be fun.
How long will you be?
I don't know - a while.
Well, we'll see you soon.
'Bye.
Ever get the feeling
you've just been ambushed?
Thought you might want to
see your little girl.
(Weakly) Thank you.
Are you OK?
You're going to have an operation.
They're going to fix you up,
and then it will all be over.
Craig, she should really
get some rest.
Sure.
My heart stopped, didn't it?
My heart stopped.
I know it did.
No, you just blacked out
for a sec, that's all.
I saw it, Craig.
I saw myself lying here.
What do you mean?
I died, didn't I?
Well, um, almost.
It was like suddenly I was lifted
out of my body, like I was floating.
And it was
I don't know
I was up in that corner there
and I could see everything.
You were putting the oxygen on me
and Dr Bowen was telling
everybody what to do.
Suddenly I got frightened,
so I went somewhere
..and then there was this light,
so clear and bright.
Maybe you just thought you saw it.
No, it was real.
I saw him.
Who?
God.
I saw God.
Jules.
It was the most amazing feeling.
He was right there.
It was pretty weird.
Yeah, right.
Let me guess, he's an old guy,
shimmering white robes,
long flowing beard.
No, you come out of your body
and you go down a long tunnel
towards a white light.
Right, then you see Elvis
and Aunty Marjorie
and that goldfish you had
when you were 12.
Connor,
it's happened to heaps of people
and they say the exact same thing.
There's a good reason for that.
Yes, 'cause it's true.
You've got to stop reading
these stupid magazines, seriously.
What do you reckon it is, then?
The white light -
it's just the sight centres
in the brain being starved of oxygen.
What do you think, Luke?
About what?
The young mother with SBE,
she arrested. Reckons she saw God.
Yeah, do you believe in God?
Well, with an Irish mum
and an Italian dad,
you don't really have much choice.
See, it's not just me.
You're kidding me.
You don't believe this out-of-body
experience stuff, though, do you?
A bit of a revelation, eh, Connor?
Modern doctor
holds superstitious medieval belief?
You're weird. You're all weird.
The fettuccine with the pesto,
thanks.
You would think they could at least
wipe the table properly.
At least we got a good table.
Yes, but why isn't it non-smoking?
I mean, haven't they heard
of lung cancer out here?
Mum, please!
It's not that bad. Really.
Well, I suppose
we should consider ourselves lucky
that you can spare us
some of your precious time.
Mum, I don't mind
coming to lunch with you.
Well, I should think not.
Your own mother.
Well, as long as nobody mentions
weddings, me becoming a doctor
or anything else to do
with the quality of restaurants
in the western suburbs.
Well, I'm glad
we got that sorted out.
I suppose it would be alright
to ask you how you are.
I mean, that wouldn't be
too controversial, would it?
No, Mum. Thanks.
I appreciate your concern.
Mum, I'm fine, OK?
Just fine.
Hey, I thought blondie was going
to get us some more magazines.
We had an emergency, Edna.
We heard.
Oh, yes, poor little thing.
And a new baby too.
You know, the same thing happened
to my Bill
after his second heart attack.
He reckoned he saw all his old mates
from the cricket club
all lined up to meet him.
Happened to a woman
down the road too.
I don't know, she was doing
something in the backyard
Will you three please let it up,
if only for five seconds?
Sorry, love.
Didn't mean to disturb you.
Just chatting.
What are you in for, then, eh?
Mind your own bloody business.
Prostate.
(All chuckle)
Start getting you ready for theatre
in a little while, OK?
Do you believe me?
You know, I don't know
what you saw, Julie,
but I can understand
that feeling of peace.
It was a feeling
but I knew so strongly
..someone was telling me
it was going to be alright.
Do you really believe in God?
Yes. Yes, I do.
I used to go to Sunday school
when I was a kid
but that was just, like,
stories and hymns and stuff.
Never meant anything.
But now it's like I know.
He's right there
and no matter what happens,
he'll take care of us.
It's like
It's like
Like you've had
some kind of revelation?
Yeah.
Aunt Sonia called you
about Simon's bris.
Yeah. The message
is on the answering machine, yes.
I've already organised
the present.
Oh, right.
You are going?
I don't know. I might be working.
Jared, you can't not go.
Jackie would be really offended.
OK, Mum.
Look, I'm just not sure that
I want to stand around and watch
while some poor kid has his foreskin
ritually sliced off.
Oh, Jared!
It's not medically advisable
anymore, anyway.
I mean, it causes pain and trauma
for both the mother and the baby.
It's part of our belief, Jared.
We're talking about
4,000 years of tradition.
Exactly.
I mean, do you remember the pain
and trauma you went through?
Of course not.
I'm just not sure that I believe in
the whole thing anymore, you know.
We'd have OUR son circumcised,
wouldn't we?
Who said we're going to have a son?
Who said we're even
going to get married?
Oh, of course
you're going to get married.
Not necessarily.
I'm sorry.
What?
So now you're marrying out,
is that it?
You're going to marry
some Buddhist girl, some Hindu girl?
Jared, now you're being
really perverse and hurtful.
It's that stupid drug addict.
Drug addict?
He's been obsessing about her
all week.
Ange is a friend.
I'm just looking out for her.
You have a friend
who's a drug addict?
Are you taking drugs?
You are. He is?
No, he's not.
With the company he's been keeping,
I wouldn't be surprised.
You two are being
absolutely ridiculous.
I don't know,
I guess it is a little bit spooky.
Yeah, it's interesting.
Hey, what do you reckon, Jared?
Think you can visit the other side
and come back?
Hey, I'm living proof.
I've just been to hell and back.
Lunch with Mummy dearest, hey?
Yeah, and Amanda.
She's got my mother helping her
plan the wedding of the year.
It's like she thinks
we're this big item again.
Oh, gee. I wonder why.
Maybe it's 'cause you're
sleeping with her.
Anyway, we sort of had a fight.
So it's off?
She thinks I'm on with Ange now.
Amanda, Ange Jared, you've got to
get these chicks out of your life.
Or get the right chick in. (Laughs)
Hi, just been with Julie.
Just wanted to let you know
it'll be three-quarters of an hour
before we can get her to surgery.
Rightio.
OK.
In the meantime
I've ordered a CT scan
and I've asked Peter
to do an assessment.
Can I ask why?
She's either thrown an embolus
Or she's crazy.
There's something going on there.
White lights, tunnels.
I think we should check it out.
Thanks, Peter. Yep.
Yeah, see you later.
I never thought of you as a cynic.
It's not cynicism.
Well, if it is, it's healthy.
Well, she seemed moved by the
experience. Profoundly, in fact.
That doesn't make it real.
Well, she believes what she saw.
You shouldn't encourage her.
I shouldn't encourage her
to have faith in something?
Come on, Terri.
I don't believe there is such
a thing as a near-death experience.
It's just a way of avoiding reality.
Oh.
Well, that says a lot
about my faith, doesn't it?
Everything went
really well, Mr Howard.
I'll come back and have a chat
once you've rested.
Now, I'm just going
to leave this here for you.
You should try and get some sleep,
OK?
Are you alright?
Shouldn't be feeling
too much discomfort
but if you do,
just press this buzzer here and I'll
bring you some painkillers, OK.
Oops, just fix your blanket.
There we go.
"Unpin that spangled breastplate
that you wear."
Come on, Mr Howard, you don't speak
to the nursing staff like that.
I thought you were a gentleman.
You have
the most magnificent breasts.
He just told me I had great tits.
What, the nice old guy
with the hernia?
Mmm. It was so out of character
I didn't
I reckon! He was so polite!
Was!
It was probably
the pethidene talking.
Oh, please! It's an excuse
for a grope and tickle.
Are you jealous, Von?
You wouldn't find me
putting up with that nonsense.
No. I can imagine.
Hello.
Trying to give them up
for the baby.
Not for yourself?
What's going on?
Why
Why is she saying those things?
I don't know.
The doctors think it has something
to do with her condition
but I think
she really believes what she saw.
I used to be a bit of a dickhead,
you know.
I'd work hard during the week
but the weekends, a real shocker.
Me and my mates, we'd go to the pub.
Knocked off a car once.
And then I met Jules.
She's such a babe
and she laid down the law.
She told me to clean up my act
or she wasn't going to
go out with me
and I really wanted
to go out with her.
Well, you must really love her, then.
I'm nothing without her.
I don't know about that.
I mean,
she must have seen something in you
to want to have a baby with you
and to marry you.
Yeah, well, we're alright
as long as we're together
and she's going to be OK now,
isn't she?
I hope so.
OK, here we go.
Oh, thanks for these, sweetie.
The crosswords are all done
in this one too.
Oh, damn.
Now what we are we going to do?
Hey, here's a trivia quiz.
I'm so bored.
I thought you might be.
I don't suppose you guys
would like to help me out at all?
You angel, we'd love to.
Oh, good.
I was hoping you would say that.
Well, it sure beats
sitting around here doing nothing.
Well, you make name tags.
We just take this little thing here
and slip in the cardboard
in the back.
See?
It's not really exciting
but it would really help me out.
Leave it to us, love. (Laughs)
Thanks.
CONNOR: All of those bacteria
will be wondering what hit 'em.
I'm just going to take
your blood pressure again, Julie.
What are you doing?
Oh, well, the last thing you want
is your wedding ring
slipping off somewhere.
I'll look after it.
No, Craig, I want to keep it on.
Three month anniversary next week.
I know you.
Yeah, you do now.
No, you were talking
with one of the nurses.
The pretty one
with the short red hair.
Bron?
I don't know her name.
But you were coming in to the ward
and you were telling her
she was getting too involved
with one of the doctors.
You really like her, eh?
Well (Chuckles nervously)
..I like lots of nurses.
Bron!
Hey, Bron.
You know the conversation
we had this morning about Luke?
The one where you totally shattered
all my illusions about doctors? Yes.
I didn't mean that.
The point was what time
did we have that conversation?
The conversation?
Yeah. It's important.
Er probably after
morning tea. Why?
About the same time as they were
resuscitating Julie Allen.
Yeah.
(Sighs) She reckons
she saw us talking.
What - while she was unconscious?
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Maybe.
But she knew exactly
what we were talking about
and she also knew
exactly what I was thinking.
Oh. What were you thinking?
That's not the point.
(Sighs)
The point is maybe she did have one
of those out-of-body experiences.
You're the last person I expected
to believe any of that.
I don't believe in it,
but it's weird.
Goddess! Nymph!
Perfect! Divine!
Oh, get a grip.
Ooh, I'd love to.
Er righto, Mr Howard.
Just going to
take your blood pressure.
A good, firm bicep.
Strong enough to hold you with!
Oh!
Mr Howard (Chuckles)
Rightio. Behave yourself.
He's trying it on ME now.
Who is?
Reg Howard.
Just started spouting poetry
and grabbed my bum.
(Laughs) You're kidding.
Well, I wouldn't look a gift horse
in the mouth if I were you, Von.
Only one thing worse
than being grabbed on the bum.
Ha, ha. And what is that?
NOT being grabbed on the bum!
Shouldn't the pethidine
have worn off by now?
Probably.
I'd say, given his age,
probably looking at
post-anaesthetic confusion.
Better keep an eye on him.
She's asleep.
She's happy.
So much to be thankful for.
Thank you.
Jules
What?
..I love you, but
What?
Go on. Say it.
Well, all this saying you've
heard things, seen things -
it's not like you.
I know.
That's what's so weird.
But what happened, happened,
and I can't change that.
I don't want to.
It's just that you seem different.
All this God stuff.
You sound like my mum.
I'm sorry, hon.
I'm still the same person.
You're not.
It used to be just us -
the three of us.
Now it's like you're
you're out there somewhere.
Don't be frightened. I'm here.
And I feel different. Real good.
But different.
Take you to surgery now.
Can I walk up with her?
Sure.
We're so lucky.
Jules? Jules, you OK?
Craig?
Something's wrong. Jules, Jules!
Julie, can you hear me? Julie?
Well, what's happened?
Come on, you got to do something!
Jules!
She'll be fine.
What are you doing?
Just turning her on her side.
Call an arrest for ward 17.
See if you can get Rob Bowen.
She's unconscious.
The arrest team's been called.
Crash cart.
Right.
What happened?
Got a massive headache
and lost consciousness.
Blood pressure's dropped to 70.
Julie? Julie?
What's wrong?
You said she would be alright.
We're doing all we can, Craig.
I've already explained
I want to stay.
No, they need the space to work.
What have we got?
I think she's thrown an embolism.
I promise you, as soon as there is
any news, you will be first to know.
Come on.
She's holding her own
as far as breathing is concerned.
We will need another CT scan.
Can you stay with her?
Sure.
She may need to be intubated.
Probably a massive stroke.
What a waste.
Craig?
Look, I'm sorry,
but Julie's condition
has taken a turn for the worse
and she's lapsed into a coma.
Dr Bowen wants to see you,
but I think you should prepare
yourself for some bad news.
I I don't understand.
OK, the CAT scan showed that she had
a massive bleed into her brain.
She'll be OK. I know she will.
She was fine last time.
I know this is a terrible shock
She was dead before and
you guys brought her back.
Technically, she's already gone.
With the extent of damage
to her brain,
there is no chance
that she'll recover.
No, she can't.
She, um she can't.
I gotta see her.
She's still breathing.
Jules? Jules?
Craig, listen to me.
Craig, listen to me.
The breathing, it's a reflex action.
Alright? It's nothing.
She's gone. I'm sorry.
She said it was all
gonna be alright.
God told her.
She was gonna get better
and she was gonna come home.
He told her everything
was gonna be alright
..and then lets this happen.
What sort of a bastard god
does that?
I dreamt my lady came
and found me dead
and breathed such life
with kisses to my lips.
I beg your pardon?
Love looks not with the eyes
but with the mind.
(Knees crack) Ooh!
Nurse Ryan, I must have you.
No, no, no. You mustn't.
She is my north, my south,
my east, my west,
my workday week, my noonday rest.
Nurse Ryan, please, for pity's sake.
No. No, don't do that.
OK, the party is over.
I think you better
leave Nurse Ryan alone.
Never.
You wouldn't want to make moves on
another man's girlfriend, would you?
Another ma
Do you mean you're spoken for?
Yes, we're engaged.
Forgive me.
Perhaps this would
come better from you.
Yes, thank you.
I have acted with
extreme impropriety.
I shall withdraw.
I'm so sorry.
Honour intact, darling?
Not since the Beatles were
top of the pops, actually.
Thanks.
DOOR OPENS
Is she gone?
No, not yet. She's just hanging on.
How's Karen?
Blissfully ignorant.
I'm not religious or anything,
but at times like this it must
be good to believe in something.
Well, you believe in helping people,
you believe in science.
I'm not quite sure that's the same.
I don't know
if Julie saw God or not.
I guess the most important thing
is that she believed it.
He told her she would be happy
for the rest of her life.
And he was right. She was calm.
He just didn't tell her how short
the rest of her life would be.
Terri, we see it all the time.
One minute they're here
and the next
It makes you appreciate
every day, doesn't it?
Absolutely.
Guys, this is fantastic. Thank you.
No worries.
Makes the time go a treat.
Yeah? Well, thanks again.
By the way, you don't know
the answer to question six, do you?
Sorry?
The song they made the film about
with Ryan and Tatum O'Neal.
If it's earlier than '86,
you got me.
Something about moon.
'Moon River'.
You know, how does it go?
"Moon River"
'Paper Moon'.
What was that?
The song is called 'Paper Moon'.
And for your information,
the bestselling single
is 'Candle in the Wind'.
'Paper Moon'. How does it go, then?
(Sings) It's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
And it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me
Yes, it's only a candle
in the sky ♪
Craig. Why don't we let Julie
hold Karen one more time?
I don't want her to go. I can't.
It's alright. I understand.
But you've got to think
of you and Karen now.
That's what Julie wants.
She wants you to let her go.
She wants to say goodbye.
Let her say goodbye, Craig.
Do you want me
to give Julie the baby?
OK.
Come on.
There you go. There you go.
She's gone.
She's at peace now.
Sometimes I just don't get it.
You OK?
Oh, I've felt better.
Julie Allen just died.
I'm sorry.
It seems so pointless.
Well, it IS pointless.
Craig, her husband,
isn't handling it at all.
I mean, he doesn't know what
So you thought he could do with
some counselling.
Well, probably, yeah.
That is a good idea.
Because I had a similar trauma,
I have helpful hints
for the recently bereaved.
Well, you do grief counselling
all the time.
You thought if we got the two
the grieving husbands together,
they could unburden themselves.
Be therapeutic for both of them.
I was actually thinking about Craig.
I am sorry you've lost a patient.
I'm sorry for the husband.
But his grief and my grief
are two very different things.
Can you tell me where
this is coming from?
Me, I like privacy and I like
my privacy to be respected.
Sanity restored?
Yes, seems to be.
He's just gone to sleep
and Von's stopped running around
like a headless chook.
I might check on him.
He could be hypoxic.
Yeah, well, it's got to be something
for him to run after Von like that!
It's probably more action
than she's seen in a while.
Yeah, that makes two of us.
Come on, I'm sorry about tonight.
I'll make it up to you.
I'm joking, I'm joking.
I know it meant a lot to you.
You know, I do have a life
apart from you. It's OK.
Yeah, I know.
In fact, going to the club with
Connor tonight. Aren't we, Connor?
Should be a hoot.
Yeah, great.
Ah! Who's the lucky nurse?
Dunno. Open up and find out.
"To Jaz.
Many hands make light work.
"P.S. We won't tell the union."
It's from the room 4 ladies.
That's so sweet.
Hey.
Hi, Von. How are the wedding
preparations going?
I hear Reg is shattered.
How could you do it to him?
Oh, look out, Reg.
Mr Howard, enough is enough.
You can stop this
carrying on right now.
Carrying on?
Yes, all this stupid fuss.
You're disturbing the ward.
Have I been snoring?
I do that sometimes.
I'm terribly sorry.
You've been asleep?
Yes, I must have been,
and for such a long time.
Has that other lass
finished her shift already?
Would you please thank her for me?
Tell her how much I appreciate
the care that I've had.
Sure, I'll tell her.
You people do a wonderful job.
It has its moments.
Always something new
to exercise the grey matter.
Oh, yeah, always something new.
Righto.
Well, you get some rest, eh?
And when those old ducks
started singing
I thought it was really sweet.
They were driving you mad.
Yeah, but they ended up
giving me a hand with my work,
which is pretty unusual
in this place.
(All tease her)
Oh, Von. Shall I compare thee
to a summer's lay?
Summer's DAY, you moron.
JAZ: Yeah, don't give up
your day job.
Von, you'll be happy to know that
Jared's asked me to be your best man.
That'll be be the first time
you've ever been best at anything.
Ooh. I think
she won that round, mate.
Ah, yes. She will be mine.
Craig, I'm Peter Morrison.
I talked to your wife earlier today.
Can I come in?
She looks so peaceful.
No bloody wonder.
She's left us.
Gone off to her white light.
I can't do it without her.
She was everything.
My wife died not very long ago.
Did God tell her
it was gonna be alright?
Did he lie to her too?
I don't know.
I didn't get a chance
to talk to her.
I don't know what she saw,
if anything.
It wouldn't have made
any difference.
Maybe you don't want
to hear this right now,
but I think it helped your wife,
whatever she saw.
She needed to know that
there was something afterwards.
She needed that strength to let go.
Why did she have to let go?
Why didn't she stay?
I don't know.
Maybe it was just her time.
I wish I wish it was MY time.
(Fusses)
Your little girl needs you now.
It used to feel like me and Julie.
Now it's you and Karen.
(Gurgles)
You look exhausted.
What a day, eh?
Yeah, awful.
Craig's still up there.
Won't leave Julie.
OK. Well, see you.
See you.
(Karen cries)
No, thank you.
