I lied. I lied! The fact is I rushed. I rushed through, and didn't inspect the entire surgical field. That man will never walk again because I wanted to get out early for the weekend. And I couldn't even claim responsibility. I sat there, and I swore to God, and I lied to save myself.
God owes us one...I think you're allowed to be selfish for a while. [he moves his chair closer to hers] I didn't run into a street sign...I had a biopsy...Those headaches weren't from hockey.
[Mark has just told Carter that he has an inoperable brain tumor]
Oh, Mark, I'm sorry. What are you gonna do?
Die, I guess.
Legaspi was trying to find a bed for your mom, and she just took off.
I figured. Thanks.
Thought maybe you'd want to check your apartment...
She's not there.
You checked?
No. This is the end of the cycle. Our cycle. She disappears and for months, I don't know where she is or what she's doing or if she's alive. And then eventually, she'll turn up somewhere, and I'll have to deal with it.
I'm sorry.
Don't be. I knew how it would end when she showed up. It's the dance we do. You get lost in it for a little while, but it always ends the same.
