I’ve just watched [_A Matter Of Life And Death_](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Matter_of_Life_and_Death_(film)) (1946).

Mouseover.

SPOILER  
At the very end of the film, Peter Carter has won his case and awakens in his hospital bed. He calls to Frank (Dr. Frank Reeves, who represented him in the afterlife after having diagnosed his case in life and who was killed in a crash), and then… the end of the recording. Wiki says that Carter’s brain operation was a success, and I assume the dialogue after that states it. Anything else? What was the final line in the film?
