To beg him to marry me out of pity. You're kind, Dr. Steele, you're *both* so kind. So...

Dr. Frederick Steele:

[Out to dinner, after Judith has inadvertently learned the truth about her health]
Would you mind telling me what this is all about? Judith:
Why don't you tell me? Why *didn't* you tell me? [looks at the menu briefly] Judith:
Well I, I think I'll have a large order of *prognosis negative*! Ann King:
What do you mean? Judith:
You know, monsieur, s'il vous plaît. 'Prognosis negative'. You know what 'prognosis negative' means, doctor? Explain to her, or have you? It means a few months of pretending you're well, then blindness, then... Ann King:
Wait, Judith, we can't talk in here. Judith:
Oh yes we can. It was a question of humoring the patient, wasn't it? Give the poor dear anything she wants - time's so short, marry her if necessary. I know now why you went to his office that day: to beg him to marry me out of pity. You're kind, Dr. Steele, you're *both* so kind. So long my friends! [Frederick and Ann try to stop her, but she storms out of the restaurant]

Means a few months of pretending you're well, then blindness, then...

Wait, Judith. We can't talk in here.

00:00:57.092 --> 00:01:00.275
Let me feel the thrill
00:01:00.044 --> 00:01:03.352
Of quiet we know nothing of
00:01:03.052 --> 00:01:08.031

To hold your hand And understand
00:01:12.084 --> 00:01:18.233
Oh, give me time
00:01:21.999 --> 00:01:24.006
It's 4:00, sir. Last drink.

- Two here, two there. Same thing. - Yes, sir.
00:01:27.036 --> 00:01:29.003
- It's funny. - What?
00:01:29.084 --> 00:01:31.751
Time, Alec.
00:01:31.092 --> 00:01:34.048
Did you ever think about time?
00:01:34.064 --> 00:01:36.232
It goes, Alec.
00:01:36.001 --> 00:01:38.001
That's the business of time.
00:01:38.056 --> 00:01:41.916
Tick, tick, tick.
00:01:42.072 --> 00:01:45.678
You can almost hear it go by.
00:01:45.084 --> 00:01:48.559
Before you know it, it's gone.
00:01:48.088 --> 00:01:53.067

00:01:58.999 --> 00:02:00.435
That song about time.
