[to Al] A man came in today. He sat there and watched his wife die, and he helped her to die, because she was in so much pain, and he loved her. [gets angry] But we didn't have that kind of marriage, did we, Al. We didn't love, we didn't cherish, we didn't respect and now you've killed me!

[the lights flicker]
Jerry!
I called maintenance 4 times; they're working on it.
Ohhh, maybe it's the ghost from the 5th floor.
Not you, too.
It's a true story, Mark! It's up there!
Poor guy, still pining away for the woman he loved.
I thought he broke her heart.
Broke his own heart is more like it.
And how do you know this?
Because that's the story. It was Halloween night, the 1930s or something, up on the 5th floor. There was rain and thunder and lightning... he was a doctor, she was an intern...
LLily
She loved him, didn't she?
[nods] But a really wealthy, handsome patient had fallen in love with her, and asked her to marry him.
What did she say?
She didn't know what to say. So... she told the doctor.
What did he say?
He said nothing.
LLily
I thought he loved her!
He did love her, but he just stood there, he couldn't get the words out. And then, after she walked across the room, she turned back and looked at him... she put her hand to her lips, and blew him what would be their first and only kiss. They say it blew through him like a rush of cold wind.
That's so sad!
What happened?
Unfortunately, the doc fell out the 5th floor window, so that's kind of it.
Well, I'm sure they worked on him in the O.R. for awhile.
You know what? I'm not going to say anything about that physics book.
Oh, God, it was probably a stupid idea anyway.
Hey, if that's what you want to do... If I can make it, anyone can.
Thanks.
Dr. Greene, I'm gonna remind you one more time...
I'm on my way. I'm gonna take Susan with me for protection.
Protection from what?
Ghost up on the 5th floor.
Why do we have to go up there?
[They step onto the elevator]
Guy gorked off, I have to pronounce him. You're not scared, are you?
Of course not.
[the lights go out and the elevator stops]
...Mark?
Susan?
Oh good, you're still there.
Where would I go?
[Susan nervously laughs]
GGant
Benton hates my guts.
No, I think he likes you. He just has difficulty showing it.
