(Burke is talking to Holly outside of Bill's room) Burke: Your whole relationship is a lie. Holly: We're happy. We've wanted a child for a long time. Why do you wanna take this away from him? Burke: Does he know you've been cheating on him ? Holly: Preston, this is between Bill and me. Burke: The man has a right to know that this isn't his child. Holly: Please, just let this go. Why can't you let this go? Burke: Because Bill is my best friend. That's why. Holly: If you were really his friend, you wouldn't do this. Burke: Holly, please! Tell him the truth! Holly: Why? I'm not gonna ruin my life, because you think this is wrong. Burke: Your life? What about his life? What about this child's life? Holly: What Bill doesn't know won't hurt him. Burke: Fine. Maybe his friend wouldn't tell him the truth. But I'm also his doctor, and his doctor is not going to lie to him.
