Quote from Dr. Kelso in My Absence
Dr. Kelso: Peggy was a sweet old bird. Elliot: She only had pneumonia. Dr. Kelso: She and her husband were together for 50 years. Sometimes in those cases, it's not the illness that gets you. I mean, your soul mate's gone, and your body just gives up. I actually think it's kind of sweet. Elliot: I don't know. If I ever get married [crosses fingers, and my husband dies before me [crosses fingers], I'm sure that I'll have enough going on in my own life that I'll want to keep on living, you know? Dr. Kelso: Well, that's just some quality crap you're spewing there. You've been moping around here all day just because Dorian's been gone, what, 12 hours? And I'm guessing you didn't hear a word I just said because you're busy looking at your telephone to see if he has texted you in the last five minutes. Did he? Elliot: Yes. "Thinking of you." Dr. Kelso: See? And there's the smile. You see, you're no different from Peggy. Elliot: What are you saying, that if J.D. Died, I would just die right afterwards? Dr. Kelso: Well, I could only hope. But my point is, don't stand there being judgmental about her when you're no different.
