How long does it take them
to cook a steak around here?
They went out to k*ll the cow.
Will you take it easy?
You just ordered.
They don't have to k*ll the cow.
Wait a little longer, it will die of old age.
How's that feeling coming?
Any idea what the assignment is yet?
No.
Can't figure it out, either.
There's just something different
about this one. I don't know what it is.
Here we go, two maxi-steak dinners,
one for you and--
- They're both for me.
- I get full just watching him.
Would you just
bring me some ketchup?
Ketchup coming right up.
Well, you work on the assignment,
I'll work on these.
Hey, baby.
How would you like to go for a ride
on a big hog?
Wouldn't wanna hurt your back.
Hey, you've got a bad mouth on you,
princess.
I've got work to do.
Come on,
don't be rude to the customers.
Take your hand off my arm.
Sure. I'd rather put it around
your waist. Let's dance.
Hey, leave her alone.
Smokey the Bear to the rescue.
I don't want any trouble.
Just let me go.
There won't be any trouble,
will there, Smokey?
No, not if you leave her alone.
Hey, this guy thinks he's real tough.
Hey, macho man.
Go get him, bud.
- Hey, Mark.
- Jonathan, stay out of this.
Look out. Here he comes.
Tough guy.
Now listen, fella.
You either leave that lady alone
or I'm gonna pull your earring off
and stick it up your nose.
You wanna rumble, Smokey?
Let's get it on.
- Mark, Mark, let me handle this.
- Will you stay out of this?
If I can't whip two guys with earrings
on, I ought to just hang it up.
Mark, I just don't see
what you're so mad about.
You don't see
what I'm so mad about?
You don't see
what I'm so mad about?
Now listen, will you turn that thing
down in there, pal? Come on!
You wanna see
what I'm mad about?
You wanna see
what I am mad about?
Look.
- What?
- What do you mean, what?
I've got a knot on my head here
and I got a shiner.
Hey, look, you're the one
who told me to stay out of it.
Well, what do you listen to me for?
You're the angel.
- I finally stepped in, didn't I?
- Well, that was a big deal. You go:
Look at you, you don't have a mark.
- Of course not.That's not my fault.
- It's because you got the stuff.
Because I'm an angel.
I tell you, it's not fair, Jonathan.
I mean, you haven't got a mark on you,
I'm half dead!
My friend, I'm all-the-way dead.
That's how I got the stuff.
Hey, pal, will you knock that music off
in there? Turn it down!
- Mark, will you calm down?
- What do you mean, calm down?
You know, Jonathan, it is not fair.
We go on these assignments
together, right?
I do half the work
and you get all the stuff.
There's nothing I can do about that.
Well, the boss could if he wanted to.
I mean, look at this eye. Look at it.
And a big knot up here on my head.
I couldn't even eat my steaks.
Just one time
I would like to go on an assignment
where I get the stuff
and you get the appetite.
I wouldn't talk like that.
I think he heard you.
Well, I want him to hear me.
Come on, boss, what do you say?
Just one time.
Just give me an assignment.
I don't care what it is.
Just give me the stuff
and I'll handle it.
Mark, Mark,
you know the old saying:
"Don't wish for something,
you might get it"?
Might get it? Might get it?
I want to get it.
Come on, boss, what do you say?
How about we trade places.
You wanna see angeling?
I'll show you angeling,
just give me the stuff.
See? Nothing. He doesn't listen to me.
He never listens to me.
Boy, I would like
to get my hands on that guy.
Will you knock it off!
Hey, Jonathan.
My eye doesn't hurt anymore!
And the lump's gone off my head.
The stuff.
I got the stuff!
I got the stuff!
What, ain't you got anything to say?
I'm hungry.
Is this where the assignment is?
I don't know. I just got a feeling
we're supposed to be here.
Couldn't you be
a little more specific?
Will you calm yourself?
I'm working on it.
Yeah.
Right.
Mrs. Carter, second floor,
Department of Social Services.
What are we gonna be doing?
Ain't it the pits
when you don't know anything?
Mr. Smith, Mr. Gordon,
I'm glad you're here.
Mary Creswell was originally
supposed to take this case
- but she just had-
- Just had a baby boy.
Yes, how did you know?
- Mark is very intuitive in that way.
- Yeah, right.
Well, good.
Because I think it's going to take
about all of your intuition
and sensitivity to handle this case.
Hey, no matter what it is,
we can handle it, you know, no sweat.
- No sweat, Mr. Gordon?
- Yeah.
I mean, what's her problem?
Her parents splitting up?
Is she on dr*gs or--?
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Mark, what's wrong?
She's dying.
Jonathan, she's gonna die.
- Yes?
- Mrs. Bradley?
Yes.
I'm Mark Gordon,
this is Jonathan Smith.
We're social workers
assigned to Lee's case.
Oh, yes.
Mrs. Carter said you'd be coming by.
My husband's inside. Come on in.
Thank you.
This is my husband, Jim.
How are you?
Please have a seat.
- Can I get either of you anything?
- No, no, we're fine, thank you.
So you two are taking Mary's place.
Yes, we are.
- I understand she had a little boy.
- Yeah.
Well, I'm happy for her.
You tell her that next time
you see her, eh?
She's been very sweet.
We'd appreciate it.
Yes, I'll do that.
Listen, I am gonna have to ask
a couple of questions
to kind of update this file.
It says that the doctors are considering
another bone marrow transplant.
Yeah, that's right.
Do you think
you'll go ahead with that?
Well, I don't know.
We haven't decided yet.
They don't give it much of a chance.
She's already had one transplant.
And there's the pain, you know?
It's painful.
She's been through
so much already.
The chemo is-
You know, you wonder when
it's time to say enough, you know?
Just stop hurting our little girl.
And then you think,
but it's a chance, you know?
So you've gotta take it.
We've been going through this
two years, almost,
and all the time we've been thinking
she was gonna get better, you know?
That the doctors must be wrong,
because this can't be happening
to our baby.
She wanted-
She wants to be a marine biologist.
Ever since she was a kid,
you couldn't keep her out of the water.
You always said she was part fish.
She scuba dives, she knows
every book Cousteau ever wrote.
Other kids wanted dolls
for Christmas.
She wanted us to contribute money
to Save the Whales.
That was her dream.
That is her dream.
To do something, you know?
Make some contribution in that area.
There's gonna be
a Save the Dolphins campaign thing
in a couple of months.
She could tell you
all about dolphins, you know?
See, that's why she's not sure
about the bone marrow transplant.
I think she figures
she doesn't have
much of a chance anyway
and if she could just, you know,
just be around for that,
that's all she wants.
And she's...
She's so scared.
She doesn't talk about it,
but she's so scared of dying.
Does she have
a little brother and sister?
That's right.
How are they dealing with all this?
The -year old,
Bobby, our youngest,
he goes around locking all the doors
and windows every night.
The counsellor says he's-
He's trying to lock out death.
And Jennifer, our middle girl,
she's afraid to touch Lee anymore.
She's afraid she'll get sick.
And she's just--I don't know.
She's just kind of giving up.
She used to be a very good student.
Now, nothing.
Mr. and Mrs. Bradley,
what can we do?
I don't think there's anything
anybody can do.
Talk to her.
She's-- She's starting to shut us out,
as if--
I don't know, as if--
As if she wanted to protect us.
Can you believe that?
She's worrying about us.
Can you believe it?
From what you've just said about her,
I can believe it.
Honey, there's a Mr. Gordon here.
He's the new social worker.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- You feel up to talking a little?
- Yeah, sure. I guess. Why not?
Well, I'll leave you two alone.
- Can I get you anything?
- No, thanks, Mom.
Well, I'm Mark.
I hear you're real interested
in fish and stuff, huh?
Folks say you wanna be
a marine biologist.
Yeah.
Well, I'll bet you'll be a good one.
I won't be around.
You don't know that for sure.
Yes. I do.
I heard with a bone marrow transplant,
there's a chance that-
I'm not gonna have any transplant.
How come?
I mean, if there's a chance.
There's so much you could do in this
world. So much you could contribute.
I don't want to, that's all.
Well,
what about this dolphin thing
your mom was telling me about?
Some kind of campaign or something
you wanna be a part of.
Yeah, Save the Dolphins.
Fishermen k*ll hundreds of thousands
of them in their nets every year.
Aren't there laws? I thought
I read about some kind of law.
Sure, there are laws,
but they need to make them stronger.
There's so much money being pumped
in to lobby against it this year.
There's a good chance
they'll take it off the books
or water it down so much-
Everything is money.
And there's no money to be made
in saving dolphins, is there?
No, I guess not.
It's the money, that's what it is.
I just told you that.
No, no, no. I'm not talking
about the dolphins.
I'm talking about your operation.
That's why you won't have the bone
marrow transplant, it's the money.
That's not true.
Yes, it is. You're afraid
that your folks don't have the money.
That's exactly what you're thinking.
Who are you, The Great Kreskin?
Just leave me alone, okay?
She said it was the money?
That's ridiculous.
I know, but she's got it in her head
that that's the reason.
Look, I think if you talk to her and
explain to her that it's not the money...
Oh, sure, you bet. Why should money
be a problem, huh?
Hey, I didn't mean it like that.
I know it can't be easy.
Look, Mr. Gordon,
I know you're trying to help,
but maybe you should just let us
work this out for ourselves.
Sure, I just wanted you to know
how she felt.
I'm better qualified
to know how my daughter feels.
Look, let me get this stuff
raked up, okay?
It is the money.
What?
You are worried about the money.
She isn't making it up in her head.
You're damn right I'm worried.
What the hell do you know about it?
The years of tests,
of hospitals, of operations.
Hospitals...
Go away, Mr. Gordon.
Just go away.
- Mark.
- What?
Would you stop pacing?
It's like trying to watch
a Connors-Becker match.
I don't know what else to do.
I mean, I'm not hungry.
Ain't got no appetite,
can't sleep, my eyes are wide open.
I just know I should do something.
Jonathan, you know,
I thought that, you know,
when I got the stuff,
I'd be able to, you know,
work anything out.
Now I got the stuff...
- Not that simple, is it?
- No, not that simple.
I mean, what kind of a father
would put money
in front of his own kid's welfare?
Now, come on,
you don't know that's what he's doing.
Jonathan, I could read his mind.
I'm telling you,
he was thinking about the money.
You were reading
some of his thoughts.
That's like reading one line
in an article in a newspaper.
Jim's got a lot of thoughts in his mind,
a lot of things he's thinking about.
A lot of things
he's trying not to think about.
Let me tell you what I think
about a guy who'd put--
Hey.
The job description does not call
for your passing judgement.
Well, whatever it calls for,
I haven't got.
I mean, the guy threw me out.
The stuff didn't work
any miracles there.
Look, there are no simple answers
for these things.
Not the important things.
I mean, the stuff is fine
for little things.
The heart and the mind
take a lot longer.
What do I do now?
You give it some time.
Hey, whatever you said to him
touched a nerve.
Let him wrestle with it for a while.
I'm gonna go wrestle
with a sandwich.
Hi, Jennifer.
Hi, Mr. Smith.
What are you doing here?
I thought I'd walk along with you,
we could talk a little bit.
- About what?
- Anything that comes to your mind.
Am I part of your caseload too?
You might say that.
We try to work with the whole family.
Yeah, well, I'm fine.
Your parents told me you used to get
straight A's till Lee got sick.
Is this about my grades?
Give me a break.
Who cares about my stupid grades?
Who cares about anything?
Your parents, for one thing.
That's why they mentioned it.
Well, I don't care.
What's the use?
You used to think
school was pretty important.
Yeah, well, I used to think a lot
of things were pretty important, okay?
I don't anymore.
Why not?
Because people don't live very long
in my family, okay?
Good enough for you?
Come on. You don't really think
you're gonna get sick because Lee did.
We have the same genes, don't we?
We come from the same family.
And you have one colour hair
and she's got another.
Jennifer, you're not your sister
and she's not you.
I never thought kids could really die.
I thought it was just for grandparents
and stuff like that.
Well, I was stupid.
It doesn't have anything to do
with how good you are.
Don't give me any of that God stuff
about how he looks out for you
because he doesn't.
Lee didn't do anything wrong.
What's she being punished for?
She's not.
- She's got cancer, doesn't she?
- That's not a punishment.
What would you call it then?
A disease.
A vicious disease that very,
very rarely strikes kids your age.
I'm scared. I'm so scared.
Oh, I know.
I know, kiddo.
But don't you see?
That's why it's so important
to talk about it.
Just bring that fear out in the open
so you can deal with it.
Because then you can help Lee
deal with it.
She needs you now.
She needs her sister.
What can I do? I can't help her.
Oh, sure you can.
You know, there's lots of things
a kid can't talk to their parents about.
You know, secrets you can only
tell your brother or sister.
Aren't you and Lee like that?
We used to be, before--
Before she got sick.
Oh, let it be that way again.
Jennifer, you're alive
and your sister's alive.
Life's so short
no matter how long you live.
What a shame it would be to waste it
worrying about what might happen.
I just--I love her and I don't--
Don't tell me, kiddo, tell her.
She needs to hear that from you.
And I think you need to say it.
Okay, baby.
Okay.
Come in.
Hi.
Hi.
How do you feel?
Okay, I guess.
Lee,
can I--?
Can I talk to you?
I suppose.
What do you wanna talk about?
I don't know.
Stuff.
What kind of stuff?
Well, I don't know.
I got this problem.
What?
Well, Tommy Henderson
asked me to go with him.
And he's real nice and everything,
and maybe I would,
except for Maria Parksow.
You know, the girl with the red hair
who's in my homeroom?
Well, she said that she thinks
Brian Wilkerson likes me
and maybe he might ask me
to go with him.
And I mean, I really like him a lot
but I don't wanna hurt
Tommy Henderson's feelings either.
So, I mean, I don't know what to do.
Jennifer.
I mean, come on, give me a break.
I got cancer. What do I care?
Well, big deal, your cancer.
I'm talking about boys here,
this is important.
Stop it.
Bobby was asleep already.
Seems like all he does lately
is sleep.
Well, he's a growing boy,
he needs his sleep.
This is cosy.
I wanna get pregnant.
What?
I wanna get pregnant.
I wanna have another baby.
Lisa, is this a joke?
I wanna feel some life inside of me.
Well, let's go out
for some Cajun food.
Jim, I'm serious.
So am I, Lisa. Forget it.
I don't know what
you can be thinking of.
We're gonna lose her, Jim.
We're gonna lose our first-born.
So, what do you wanna do?
You wanna have a replacement child?
Yes.
Lisa, for crying out loud.
I'm trying to figure out
if we can afford to have a bone marrow
transplant for Lee
without bankrupting us, losing
the house, everything we've got
on an operation
that probably won't even work
and you're talking about
having another kid.
How can you even think about it?
Any other pressure
you'd like to put on this family?
All you ever think about
is the money.
Yeah, because I'm the one
who has to make it.
I'm the one who's responsible here.
I'm the one who has to see to it
that there's enough for the two
other kids we've already got.
Where are you going?
Out.
Give me a beer.
Oh, brother.
The one seat that's left in the one bar
that's open, and it's next to you.
Uncanny, isn't it?
How you doing?
Great. Okay?
Nice shirt.
Look, Jim, if you feel like talking,
I got nothing better to do than listen.
Well, how about it?
You wanna sh**t some pool?
We don't have to talk.
You know what my wife
told me tonight?
She wants to get pregnant.
I mean, the last two years,
Lee's illness.
It's eaten up all our insurance.
We don't have any
catastrophic-illness insurance.
Just my regular health plan at work.
There ought to be catastrophic
illness insurance in this country.
Well we sure don't have any.
From now on,
it comes out of our pocket.
First thing that goes
is the savings for the kids' college.
The only other thing I got
is the house.
We're cutting into muscle here.
I've got other kids I've gotta raise
and she wants another one.
I mean, I'm the father, damn it.
I'm responsible here.
You in the service, Jim?
Yeah, yeah. Vietnam, grunt.
Me too.
I was a squad leader.
Yeah, a squad leader. I got all
the way to E before they busted me.
I used to tell that same lie to myself.
Lie? What lie?
What are you talking about?
I had a friend who got hit.
Actually, a lot of them got hit.
But this one guy and I,
we were real close.
But do you think old Mark broke?
No way.
No, I said,
"Hey, I don't have time to cry.
I don't have time for pain.
I am a squad leader.
I am responsible. I have work to do."
Besides I couldn't control it.
I could not control
the enemy's incoming rounds.
I could not control who it hit.
So I looked around
for the things that I could control
and I said, "Hey,
that is all I am gonna think about."
Like you right now.
Pretending that all you're
thinking about is the money.
I don't blame you, Jim.
Really, I don't blame you.
She's my baby.
She's my little girl.
I love her so much.
Let it go, pal. Let it go.
Boss, I'm telling you,
I don't know how long
you're gonna give Mark the stuff.
The way it's going.
I'll end up with a skinny partner
and you're gonna end up
with a fat angel.
How did it go?
Well, you were right.
I never should have judged him.
I mean, that guy has
been through hell and back.
He loves that little girl so much.
I mean, he'd do anything for her.
- But...
- But what?
But a lot of things.
I mean, it's not just
the money for the operation.
I mean, sure, you know,
that's part of it.
The man has worked
so hard his whole life
to save enough money, you know,
to put his kids through college,
to buy a home.
And this operation will wipe it all out.
But it wasn't just the money.
No.
No. It's the fear and the pain
of getting their hopes up again
and then having the roof fall in.
Of having to watch their little daughter
suffer through all that pain again
and maybe all for nothing.
Nothing.
Jonathan, I don't know,
if I was in his shoes, I could make it.
I don't know.
You couldn't if you were alone.
Nobody makes it alone.
Oh, boy.
You know what I tried to do tonight,
driving home?
Tried to use the stuff.
Yeah, I said, "All right. I wanna
see the money for that operation.
I wanna see the money
for the operation.
I wanna see it right here
on the front seat beside me."
And bingo!
Nothing.
No miracle.
It's not that easy, Mark,
and it shouldn't be.
Miracles happen,
don't they, Jonathan?
Sure they do, but they're
not brought about by wishing.
They're brought about by doing,
by people loving and caring.
What would be the greatest miracle
you could think of?
A world at peace.
No more threats, no more w*r,
no more hate.
And all it would take to accomplish that
would be loving and caring.
But, Jonathan,
how do you reach them?
How do you get them
to hear that message
when all they ever hear on the news
is w*r and k*lling and disaster?
Make them hear.
Oh, that's right.
I'll just call up Tom Brokaw.
I'll call up Dan Rather
and I'll say, "Hey, this is Mark Gordon.
I'd like to be on the news tonight."
Now, what do you think
they'd say to that?
I don't know.
But this is your assignment,
and you've got the stuff.
Lee, all I'm saying is,
what if the money wasn't the problem?
What if it could be gotten
without touching your folks' money?
If it could just, you know,
fall out of the sky?
Would you do it then?
Would you have the transplant then?
I don't know.
I'm so scared of
going through all that, and then--
Honey, I know. I know.
We're all scared.
Lee, listen to me.
You once said you wanted
to make a contribution,
to make your life count
for something.
Now, was that just talk,
or was it true?
More than anything else.
I want it to matter that I was alive.
Then stop talking in the past tense.
You're still here.
You're not the only one around who
needs money for some medical care.
You're pretty.
You're bright. You're articulate.
And you have the ability
to get people to listen to you.
You know you do.
So, what do you say we get out
and try to raise some money?
Not just for you,
but for the other kids around like you?
That's a contribution you can make.
And maybe that's a contribution
that only you can make.
What do you say?
Okay.
But how are we gonna get
those people to listen to us?
You just let me take care of that.
Excuse me, Mr. Harris?
Yes, that's right. Who are you?
How did you get in here?
I'm here about the story
you're gonna run tonight.
- What story?
- About a girl named Lee Bradley.
She needs
a bone marrow transplant,
and a lot of other kids
who need money for operations too.
I don't think
we're doing that story tonight.
- Well, you are now.
- I don't think you understand.
We've got the vice president here and
we've got the town council meeting
and tonight's the first segment on our
three-part series on Hawaiian bikinis.
Yeah, but now you got
a better idea.
Your station's gonna get
behind helping these kids.
You're gonna go all the way with them.
Because you know it's right.
And it's more important than bikinis.
You can run that story anytime.
This little girl is running out of time.
Look, pal.
I know this is important to you
but TV news is a business.
I mean, we're talking ratings.
I'm sorry, maybe next week.
But no chance this week.
Well, have it your way.
I didn't wanna use the stuff, but--
What stuff? Hey, what,
are you trying to thr*aten me?
Now, why don't you pick up
that phone
and tell Donaldson you're gonna
cancel the bikini story.
Excuse me a minute.
Donaldson, please?
Yeah, Clive Harris.
Donaldson, we're gonna postpone
that bikini series tonight.
That's right,
because we can run it anytime.
Now, look, don't argue with me.
Because it's the right thing to do.
Hi.
My name is Lee Bradley.
And like all of you who are watching,
I'm going to die.
In my case, though,
it might come a little sooner.
Like, real soon,
if I don't get an operation.
There are a lot of kids like me
who face operations
that could save our lives.
The only problem is,
these things cost money.
A lot of money.
So many times
when death takes a young life,
we shake our heads
and we say, "It's a horrible thing,
but there's nothing we can do."
Except that there is something
that people can do,
and it's the easiest thing
in the world.
It's giving money, a little or a lot,
whatever you can afford.
- Hey, keep it down a minute.
- For research, treatment centres, or--
Or in this case,
to the fund that we're setting up.
And as my friend Mark calls him,
maybe the boss upstairs
pays attention
when you do something
to help somebody out.
I don't know, maybe it's buying
cheap brownie points in heaven.
- I don't know about that.
- Dinner, honey.
- Wait, this girl's in my class.
- What I do know
is that we all share the same planet
and we all lose
when a young life gets cut off.
Because nobody knows
the contributions
that each of us can make
if we only have the time.
So think about that tonight
when you're home with your families
and maybe hug your kids
a littler closer.
Please help.
- Yes. Yes, I will.
- Oh, how do you spell your name?
Thank you.
- Hello.
- Thanks. Bye-bye.
Listen, guys like you keep calling,
we're gonna make it just fine.
Yeah, right. Thanks a lot.
I know what you mean, you bet I will.
You bet. Goodbye, thank you.
This guy owns a hamburger stand.
He's gonna donate one day's profits.
He's thinking it'll be around $ .
It's unreal.
Hey, when you got the stuff,
you got the stuff.
No. She's the one who's got the stuff,
and the people who are giving.
That's the real stuff, you know?
I know what you mean.
- Three-two-six.
- Oh, $ .
As I am speaking,
Lee Bradley is undergoing
a bone marrow transplant
that doctors say
may give her a chance to live.
X-ray technician,
call the emergency room.
Mom, can I have some money
for a soda?
- What?
- I want a soda.
Oh, Bobby, please,
just leave me alone right now, okay?
Hey, you know where
the soda machine is?
Yeah, around that corner
at the end of the hall.
Come on, I'm thirsty too.
Let's get one.
Thanks.
Not easy being the youngest
sometimes, is it?
Nobody ever pays any attention
to me anymore.
Oh, I shouldn't have said that.
- Why not?
- Because of God.
- What's God got to do with it?
- Well, he hears everything, Mr. Smith.
Does he?
I don't know. That's what they said
in Sunday school.
There's a lot of people he's got
to listen to, don't you think?
I don't know, you know?
I don't even go to
Sunday school anymore.
But I'm starting up again real soon.
Gonna start going
to church again too.
Good. What kind of soda you want?
Root beer, please.
How come you're starting
back at church again?
Well, it's--
It's pretty confusing, you know?
I mean,
I believed all that stuff they said,
that God always hears
and he always looks after you.
Then Lee got sick
and I prayed she'd get better.
But she got worse
and then I didn't believe
in him anymore.
Then I figured,
you know, maybe she got worse
because I didn't believe.
I mean, maybe I got God mad at me
and that's why he's doing
all this stuff to Lee.
So I made him a deal.
I said, "You let her get better
and I'll go back." See?
You really think that God would do
all this to Lee just to get back at you?
Boy, I don't think so.
That doesn't sound like God to me.
Let me tell you something, Bobby.
God loves you and your sister
very, very much.
And he isn't the one
who made her sick.
I wish I could believe that.
Thanks for the soda, Mr. Smith.
On the local scene,
more good news about Lee Bradley,
the young girl who has led
a crusade in Seaview
to raise money
for her bone transplant
and for operations
for many other children in the area.
Doctors released a report today
stating that all signs are good
and they are awaiting the results
of further tests
to determine whether Lee
is in remission.
Oh, what a kid, huh? What a fighter.
You're really proud of yourself,
aren't you?
Well, I gotta tell you, you know,
I was a little nervous
when I got the whole assignment
and the stuff, you know?
But, yeah,
I really am proud of myself.
She couldn't have had
a better angel on the job.
Yeah.
I guess I'd better check
on what room she's in.
I don't see her name.
Excuse me, can you tell me
what room Lee Bradley is in?
She's gone, Mr. Gordon.
She's gone?
What're you talking about?
She was doing so well.
- I just talked to her doctor yesterday.
- Mr. Gordon, calm down. She's okay.
- But you just said--
- I said she was gone.
She doesn't need to be here anymore.
She's in a regular room now.
I'm sorry if I scared you.
You didn't scare me.
It's a good thing
I'm not on solid food anymore.
Hey, look at this one.
- The whole class signed it.
- I can't believe all these cards.
- I'm gonna save them all.
- Sure, no problem.
I'll rent a warehouse.
- Hi, kiddo.
- Hi, Mark. Hi, Jonathan.
- Hi.
- Hi, guys.
You know,
you really gave me a scare.
Went down to the Laminar Flow Unit,
they said you were gone.
And you thought...?
Gone.
Hey, you can't get rid of her
that easy.
You're really doing good, aren't you?
Well,
we'll know how good or bad
in a little while.
The doctor's bringing down
the test results.
Nail-biting time, you know?
Things must've gone well.
At least you're out
of the Laminar Flow Unit.
Yeah, well, until they say,
"You're in remission,"
I'm not gonna believe anything.
Well, start believing now, Lee.
The tests are in.
You are definitely in remission.
It's gone? It's all gone?
I don't know how long this will last.
There are no guarantees.
And we'll still have
to monitor you every month,
but as of now, you're in remission.
Oh, thank God.Thank God.
I'm gonna live.
I'm gonna live.
Oh, Mark.
