David Lennox: Yes, Padre?The Chaplain: David... They can't operate.Lt. David Lennox: [stunned] Not... ever?The Chaplain: No, David.Lt. David Lennox: I won't ever see again? [gets upset] I don't believe it. It's that German doctor! When I get back to Scotland...The Chaplain: No! David, it's no use. You've got to face it.Lt. David Lennox: I'll not need this any more. [removes bandages from around eyes]The Chaplain: You feel now there's nothing left to live for. And that feeling will go on for a long time. But then you'll begin to remember things that are left. You'll begin to realize that this darkness of yours is not absolute. David, the things that make life worthwhile for all of us -kindness, affection, companionship. The loss of your sight can never rob you of those things, David. We're your friends here. We offer you our help and understanding. And waiting to welcome you home, when all this is over, are your own folk who love you.
