[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.
Kate Keller:
[Helen starts to cry and Kate lovingly tries to subdue her in a happy but emotional state]
Shh, don't you cry now. You've been trouble enough. Call it acute congestion indeed. I don't see what's so cute about a congestion just cause it's yours.

[trails off as she notices something's not right with Helen]
Kate Keller:
... Helen?
[snaps her fingers feverishly]
Kate Keller:
Helen? Cap'n! AHHH!
[shreiks for her husband]
Captain Arthur Keller:
[rushing back inside the house and up to Helen's room]
Kate, what is it? What's happened? Kate, Kate...
Kate Keller:
Look at - look, she can't see! Look at her eyes, she can't see!
[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]
