- Dr. Donald Westphall: Hi, Pop, how you doin?
- Dr. Daniel Auschlander: Good. How was your day up on the building?
- Dr. Donald Westphall: Well, we finally topped off the 22nd story. And I'm beat. How's he been? Give you any trouble?
- Dr. Daniel Auschlander: He's been sitting there ever since you left this morning. Just like he does every day in a world of his own.
- Dr. Donald Westphall: [after Tommy shakes the snow globe too hard] Careful with that, son. Remember I told you that? I don't understand this autism thing, Pop. But he is my son. I talk to him, I don't even know if he can hear me. 'Cause he sits there all day long in his own world, staring at that toy. What's he thinkin about?
- [Tommy continues to shake the snow globe, Westphall takes the snowglobe]
- Dr. Donald Westphall: All right, come on, son. Let's go wash our hands, all right?
- [after getting Tommy on his feet]
- Dr. Donald Westphall: It's all right, I've got it, I've got it.
- [Puts the snow globe on top of the TV]
- Dr. Donald Westphall: .
- Dr. Donald Westphall: Who'd a thought we'd be working together again.
- Dr. Mark Craig: Yeah, like a dream come true. Well, good-bye, Donald.
- [Extends his hand]
- Dr. Donald Westphall: What?
- Dr. Mark Craig: Ellen and I are moving to Cleveland.
- Dr. Donald Westphall: Cleveland?
- Dr. Mark Craig: If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
- Dr. Donald Westphall: It's nice to be home.
- [St Eligius staff applause]
- Dr. Donald Westphall: Well, we're all here. I think we should thank John Gideon for the time he put in this year.
- [Applause from staff]
- Dr. Donald Westphall: And we have to say good-bye... to Daniel Auschlander, who've I've known for 43 years. With Daniel's death, we've lost some of the spirit in this place... some of the compassion, but I think most importantly we've lost his experience, but ah, ends mean beginnings, don't they? There was a time when Daniel didn't exist, and that time has come again. And I think we should be glad... that we lived in the time he did.
- Dr. John Gideon: What are you still doing here?
- Dr. Wayne Fiscus: Must be something needs to be done.
- Dr. John Gideon: Can't help feeling the same way. Thought I'd take one last look around. Said it when I arrived. I love this place.
- Dr. Wayne Fiscus: Know how you feel.
- [Fiscus notices paramedics and almost approaches them. Gideon holds him]
- Dr. John Gideon: Dr. Fiscus, go home. It's finished. The year's over. Your residency's over.
- Dr. Wayne Fiscus: No, sir. It ain't over till the fat lady sings.
- Dr. Wayne Fiscus: Luther, what do you got?
- Luther Hawkins: Me? Spring Fever.
- Dr. Wayne Fiscus: Your patient.
- Luther Hawkins: What do you care? You just finished your last ER shift. It's over. You're through at St. Eligius forever.
- Dr. Wayne Fiscus: Yeah, the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine.
- Dr. Mark Craig: You've got exactly 30 seconds to fess up or I'll kick your butt out of this OR.
- Dr. Victor Ehrlich: You can't.
- Dr. Mark Craig: Why not?
- Dr. Victor Ehrlich: Because we're done.
- [Backing away from the procedure]
- Dr. Mark Craig: Start bringing out Mr. Lomax.
- Dr. Victor Ehrlich: Sir, I just want you to know what a rare and unique privilege it's been training under you. And to continue learning under your tutelage. I would follow you to the ends of the earth.
- [Taking his gloves off]
- Dr. Victor Ehrlich: But not Cleveland.
- [Flings his gloves]
