Can you hear the traffic

on the Lakeshore?

Underneath that there's a hum.

It's the street lights.

All right.

Even fainter,

I can hear a dragging sound.

It's getting louder.

I not only hear it,

I can feel it.

Well, your prognosis is excellent.

You'll look great on 60 Minutes.

It's bigger than that.

By the time you're through with it,

I'm sure it will be.

You're not buying any of this,

are you?

You forgot.

I'm an atheist.

- You all right for a few minutes?

- Yeah.

- How's he doing?

- Physically he's stable.

He's talking like Lazarus

back from the dead.

That's what we did.

We brought him back from the dead.

- What we did was get lucky.

- I would like to go next.

- Forget it.

- Me, too. Seriously.

- Why shouldn't we all get famous?

- That's not what this is about.

You'll be famous.

They'll build monuments to you.

Little stones about this high.

"Rest in peace."

Like it or not,

I'm going next.

I'm willing to go

- 1:
30.

- Are you two crazy?

Or are you so tragically competitive

that you'd bid with your lives?

That's it.

Not a bad price to pay

for fame and glory.

Die to be a hero if you want,

but don't die to be a celebrity.

Champ?

- Someone should stay with him tonight.

- I have class in three hours.

I will.

You okay?

I'd like to go home.

Are you okay?

You were hyperventilating.

Your blood pressure will rise

in the next 14 hours.

Cardiovascular vessels will constrict,

increasing your blood supply.

God, you're beautiful.

Get some rest.

I bet 24 hours ago you didn't think

you'd be spending the night here.

You were lucky last night, Nelson.

Don't push it.

I want to wish you two

the best of everything together.

I know you'll be healthy,

wealthy and happy in your wealth.

Hello.

May I speak to Anne Coldren?

- Hello.

- Anne?

Hi. I have been thinking about you

all day. How are you?

- Counting the days to Thanksgiving.

- Me, too.

I've got to transfer to a school

closer to you or get a faster car.

Maybe we should have gotten married

last summer.

My mother wasn't ready yet.

Honey, you're the best.

If anything

should ever happen...

- Joe, what's wrong?

- I don 't know. I'm tired.

I'm not making sense.

I should go.

- What's the matter? You're scaring me.

- It's okay, honey.

Nothing's wrong.

I love you.

Bye.

Ah, there.

It's a boy.

Nothing.

Starting CPR.

- CPR, adrenaline and nothing!

- 1:
45.

What's going on?

Come on, Joe!

- 3-1,000.

- Let me try.

- Breathe!

- We're running out of time.

- Let me try!

- I'm doing everything I can. Breathe!

- Let him try.

- Nelson, step back.

Got him! 02.

CPR successful.

Hurley lives.

It's okay, Joe.

- It was great.
