In Mark's otherwise empty (and, it must be said, incredibly swank) hospital room, Mark and Elizabeth dangle their legs off the end of the bed. Mark muses, "Guess it's too late to change my mind now." "Would you?" she asks, and he immediately replies that he wouldn't. Tense percussion plays on the soundtrack. Mark tells Elizabeth about Blue Lips, and Elizabeth shrugs nervously and says she thinks they'll be there soon, to get him. Sure enough, an orderly wheels in a bed, which Mark and Elizabeth both regard as if it were a casket. The orderly offers to help Mark onto it, but he climbs up on his own. Elizabeth looks like she may vomit.
