Tumulty: Oh, Governor, this is the best you’ve ever done.

Wilson: Tumulty, it does me good to hear you speak so. I guess—why, surely this building is strangely unsteady—or—Everything’s going. Why, Grayson, it’s—it’s dark.

Grayson: Bear up, Sir. A touch of vertigo. You’re tired.

Wilson (horror in his eyes): No. My speech. Failing. I can’t—articulate.

He sinks into Grayson’s arms, and is lowered into a chair. Mrs. Wilson falls on her knees beside him.

Tumulty: In God’s name, Admiral——?

Grayson: Paralysis. The tour is over.

They prepare to carry the President away.
