rand is in an easy chair, dressed for his meeting with the president. the two nurses are working at the disinfecting table. rand smiles as chance is shown into the room by smythe.
chance watches television as rand speaks.
rand smiles at chance as the phone rings.
allenby, constance and teresa are readying a transfusion for rand. there is a feeling of urgency as they work.
allenby, with nothing more he can do to prolong rand's life, sits on the bed close to him, grips his hand tightly. teresa shows chance into the room and allenby motions to the nurses to leave. as they do, chance, once again breathing the oxygen with a smile, goes to rand's bedside.
