"no change since last examination" it reads. he turns the page. "no change, no therapy recommended." he turns the page, the last entry. "no change." the date, "11. 9. 44." , doctor . . . would you like to g e t a cup of coffee somewhere? tea? some other time. , good night. it's different. good. dr. sayer was hoping you'd have some free time. she hands a book to the nurse who spoke , a first edition worn . rom many readings. margaret glances from it to the other nurses and back to miss costello. i'm going home too. if you need me . * my name is elizabeth. it's a pleasure to meet you. leonard, standing, reaches for her hand and struggles to pronounce her name correctly. fighting to keep from crying in front of him, miss costello glances to sayer and mrs. lowe. i don't think i could deal with losing 3d years of my life. i can't even imagine it. he does realize it, doesn't he? sayer nods uncertainly. does it look like it? . sayer hangs up his jacket and slips into a lab coat. we'll find them for you. we'll track them down. lucy again, sayer still at her side. dr. sayer? it's very hard to keep everyone together, doctor. you. they are. sayer, taken aback, glances back to anthony, whose look says, there you go. for some time now. rose is delighted; she can hardly believe it. she gets the bartender's attention. - rose a rob roy on the rocks. a shirley temple. not that i know of. i kind of doubt it. rose gets up and crosses toward sayer. seeing her coming, he smiles . but the smile slowly begins to fade as she sings to him: we think he got sick before he learned how to talk. to talk with words. close on two nurses, across the room. that was lovely.
