Harrison John: I am also forced to admit that Brooke's other accusations are also true. I have been taking painkillers... for pain! And the reason is... I have Leukemia. Therefore, I'm withdrawing from the race. Because I have to fight my own battles. And until I do, I'm in no way ready to fight yours. And Brooke... as in fact the winner, I hope that you learned a lesson a good friend of mine just taught me. That when darkness approaches, you have to muster your courage... and harness your strength... and stare it straight in the eye, because that's the only way you can live with yourself. Now, if you'll excuse me, my best friend Sam's going to take me to the hospital.
