Dr. Auschlander and Dr. Westphall in “Down's Syndrome”

Dr. Auschlander

I'm 72 years old now and dying of cancer. Ironic, isn't it? A distinguished liver man like myself betrayed by his own liver. With the radiation and the chemotherapy I'd have a slightly better chance, but the nausea, diarrhea, stomach cramps... I'd be septicemic from the skin infections...The slightest cold could easily turn into pneumonia and finish me off in a week...

Dr. Westphall

What are you going to do?

Dr. Auschlander

I'm not sure.

Dr. Westphall

You know what I think?

Dr. Auschlander

Tell me.

Dr. Westphall

You should see a doctor.

[Auschlander laughs]
