Quote - Help, Please


Greetings,

I am looking to track down a film I recall a scene and quote from. I am posting here because a friend told me this is the film, though I do not think so.

She scene is a man ostensibly dying and lying supine. A woman is kneeling near him and pounding on his chest.

She is saying, I think,....

"Don't die, damn you! I won't have you dying one me!

Thanks for your patience and indulgence.

Advise, please.

bye,

There is a scene like that here, but it may not be the one you're thinking of.

***spoilers***

When they do one of the 10-minute "Derbies" where everyone has to race heel-to-toe and the last 3 couples to cross the finish line are eliminated, at one point Gloria (Jane Fonda) ends up partnering with Red Buttons, the aging sailor. He is obviously ill and cannot get around the track on his own steam, and she literally drags him around on her back, screaming at him to "walk, dammit." Once they get across the line it's unclear to me whether they would be disqualified because the sailor was not walking on his own, but it doesn't matter because he has died, I assume of a heart attack.

Sounds like a scene I recall from a TV drama. Dynasty maybe? I picture Joan Collins' character saying this to some guy who has a heart attack on their wedding night. Not sure why I even know this! :)
