[first lines]
Doctor : She'll live.
[Captain Arthur and Kate Keller embrace tenderly and thankfully at the seemingly good news]
Doctor : I can tell you now I thought she wouldn't.
Captain Arthur Keller : I thought too I'd miss my wife's first. It's a battle scar
Kate Keller : Doctor, will my girl be alright?
Doctor : By morning she'll be knockin' down Cap'n Keller's fences again.
Kate Keller : Oh, is there nothing we should do?
Captain Arthur Keller : Put up stronger fences, huh?
Doctor : Just let her get well. She knows how better than we do. These things come and go in infants, never know why. Probably acute congestion with sunken brain procedure.
[Captain Keller escorts him out of the room]
Doctor : The main thing is the fever's gone. I never saw a baby more vital.

[Captain Keller waves the lantern in front of Helen's face]
Kate Keller : Uh, or hear! When I screamed she didn't blink! Not an eyelash!
Captain Arthur Keller : [frantically clapping his hands in front of Helen's face trying to get her attention] Helen! Helen!
Kate Keller : [in hysterics] She, can't, hear, you! AHHH!
[they both shreik in hysterics and the scene fades out]
