Magnificent Obsession Page #4

Wayne didn't discuss money with me.

I really wouldn't know.

That leaves you and Joyce with

the house and little else.

And the hospital is liable to

be in very rocky shape too.

Can't something be worked out, Tom?

I want to go over his records and find

out what other assets he might have.

Those you'll let me

collect for you, that is.

And after that, well, we'll

see where you stand exactly.

Well, thank you very much

for all your trouble.

And you do as you feel best.

- Will you excuse me?

- Certainly.

I have to go to the house. The gardener's

confused about what bulbs to lift this fall.

I promised I'd do it.

It can't wait any longer.

I'll see you both at the house.

- Can I help?

- I suspect you could help... tremendously.

Are you all right?

Adequate as can be.

- Going to the village?

- Yes. Can I give you a lift?

You certainly can.

I'll make it. I'll make it.

- What seems to be the trouble?

- Long story. You wouldn't be interested.

You live around here?

Yes.

I should have collapsed on

one of these roads long ago.

- I meant it in the nicest way.

- I'm sure you did.

- You don't sound like it.

- I'm sorry, but I have a lot on my mind.

That's all right. So do I.

Can't we talk about it better

after I take you to lunch?

I think not.

Before you decide I'm just a character

who stumbled out of the woods, Miss P...

Monogram on your purse.

20/20. Always keep 'em open.

My name is Phillips...

Mrs Wayne Phillips.

Oh.

I'm sorry, Mrs Phillips.

You know, I just heard

about your husband.

I'm really sorry. He must have

been a really great person.

It's a rough way to go.

Maybe they'll get another

resuscitator now.

Resuscitator? Did they

try to use one on him?

We'd have had his at the house, but

there was an accident on the lake

and the police took it there.

You mean...

the accident Bob Merrick had?

Yes. Bob Merrick.

So...

Bob Merrick is alive,

and only because your husband...

Let me out up here, will you?

- Thanks.

- Are you sure you're all right?

He can't have just disappeared.

Miss O'Malley, flash Dr Dodge.

All right, thanks.

There's work to do.

Have Dr Dodge report to the

front desk immediately.

- Helen. What's the matter?

- I just gave a man a ride on the lake road.

He's in shock or exhausted.

He's in the car.

Frank, get a stretcher.

It's Bob Merrick.

Who?

Come on. I want you to rest

a little while, Helen.

It's... It just came

before I was ready for it.

I know, darling.

- I'm all right, Nancy.

- Don't talk about it.

Come in and lie down

a little while.

I don't know, Nancy.

Maybe it's just as well.

I'll never have to see him again.

Brightwood Hospital.

Mrs Phillips?
