Perna : What do you think?
Carson Beckett M. D. : That it goes against everything I believe in. There's an oath among medical people where I come from. It begins, "First, do no harm."
Perna : Important words to you.
Carson Beckett M. D. : More than words, Perna.
Perna : "The battle rages at the very threshold of our laboratory now. Those of us working to the last know that these few final hours have been dearly purchased, yet our concentration has not waned. We cannot hope to save ourselves but we can hope that one last insight, one last revelation before we take our dying breaths, may prevent this terrible day from happening again."
Carson Beckett M. D. : Ferrel's last journal entry.
Perna : More than words, Carson.
