Major William Gart : [after Forbes explained the story to Gart] Clegg? I don't know Ed Harrington. I've never heard of him before. I think he must be an illusion or something.
Lieutenant Colonel Clegg Forbes : [eerily calm] Oh, I know he's not an illusion. I know. He's been yanked out of here. He's been taken away. He told me, remember? He told me maybe someone or something made a mistake. Let us get through when we shouldn't have gotten through. It's gotta come back to get us, somebody up there.
[Overcome by the same feeling Harrington has]
Lieutenant Colonel Clegg Forbes : Oh, Bill, this is weird. It's just plain weird; like I just don't belong. Just like I... I don't belong.
[sees he no longer has a reflection in a mirror, horrified]
Lieutenant Colonel Clegg Forbes : Oh, no! OH, NO! I DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN! BILL, I DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN! I DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN!
[runs out of room]
Lieutenant Colonel Clegg Forbes : I DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN!
Major William Gart : [hobbling after Forbes] Clegg! CLEGG!
[looks into the hallway to find that Forbes has disappeared]
Major William Gart : Somebody get him! Somebody get him... Somebody... Somebody get him...
Nurse : [sees Gart standing in his doorway and walks over to him] Major, you shouldn't be out of bed. Why, if the doctor could see you...
Major William Gart : Somebody's got to help him. Colonel Forbes. Somebody's got to help him right away.
Nurse : Who?
Major William Gart : COLONEL FORBES!
[sighs]
Major William Gart : You know Col. Forbes. Why, he was brought in here with me. Why, he was right over here on this...
[turns to see there is only one bed in the room, his. The bed next to him which Forbes' occupied has disappeared]
Major William Gart : Oh, my dear god.
Nurse : Major. Major, let me help you get into bed. And I'll-I'll call the doctor. Come here.
[helps Gart into bed]
Nurse : A-Are you alright?
[leaves the room]
Nurse : Major? Major Henderson?
[when the nurse leaves, Gart looks at the newspaper and sees only his photo. Horrified, he also disappears]
