You're a useless Parasite.

You mean, self-centered, Old has-been

And you're lucky To be here.

Don't you walk Away from me!

How's it going?

Unless his son kills him

Buddy's robin hood Sketch is up next.

No, he's up now.

Buddy: Clear, some of us are working.

We're working, we're working.

Where is that idiot son of mine?

He's needed For brain surgery.

I can't find my hairpiece.

I can't work like this!

Somebody has to stall.

You, I'll get ready, you stall.

Get out of my way!

No, oh, no, sir.

Wait, no...

Wh...

Hello there, I'm dr. Mark sloan.

Oh.

I'd like to talk to you

About the importance of Our emergency room service.

You know, emergency room service Is a medical service

That's available to really Very few people at this moment

Because so many Of our emergency rooms

Around the city have closed

And it's very important That we keep this one open.

Dad?

Oh, very funny.

What's the matter?

What's the...?

Sloan: And I can assure you if you Have never seen this sketch

You are all in for a real treat.

It's what I would call A classic tv sketch.

Some of you are probably--

A lot of you are probably too Young to have ever seen it...

Oh, here comes buddy.

I mean, ah... Robin hood.

( gasping )

Call an ambulance!

I'm sorry.

Buddy's aorta Was punctured.

We didn't think He'd make it.

We did everything We could.

I got to...

Mrs. Blake, My deepest sympathy.

Where's the phone?

It's down the hall.

Buddy was such A wonderful guy.

A real Humanitarian.

He was an Original Talent.

They'll never Be another one Like him, never.

Excuse me, dad?

Could I speak To you please?

Excuse me A moment.

Where is Michael blake?

He's down The hall-- why?

I'm here To arrest him

For the murder Of his father.

Michael?

No... I know michael, He didn't kill his dad.

I've got my doubts too, But look at the evidence.

I saw him fight With his father.

They were alone In the dressing room

Buddy blake gets A knife in his back

And michael's got Blood on his hands.

D.A. Says That's all we need.

Give me a moment with him.

Go ahead.

Buddy wasn't always So terrible, you know?

Well, difficult, sure, And bad-tempered

But in the old days, You know

When his show was on

There were times...

Oh, I wish I hadn't said Those things to him.

I called him a has-been.

Oh, I know that hurt him.

I guess I loved him in Spite of himself, huh?

Michael... I hate to Have to tell you this.

The police think that You killed your father.

Oh, they don't Really believe that.

I'm afraid they do.

You don't believe It, do you?

No.

What am I going To do, mark?

Well... I don't know, Maybe I can help.

Do you know anyone who Might want to kill buddy?

Yeah, sure, any One of those four

Down in the waiting room Pretending to grieve.

They all hated dad.

Do you know exactly why?

Yeah, it's all that dirt I didn't print in my book.

It takes time, Michael...

Steve: Mr. Blake...

I'm afraid I have to Place you under arrest

For the murder Of your father.

Read him his rights.

Michael didn't Kill his father.

Dad, I can't believe it either

But all the evidence Points to him.

I had no choice But to arrest him.

I think one of those four People killed buddy blake.

That'll be very Hard to prove.

The trouble is With buddy gone

They're all going To leave town.

I can't stop them.

Look, I'll see you Back at the studio.

As you know, Buddy blake was just rushed

To community general's Emergency room.

Our thoughts and prayers Are for his full recovery.

This tragedy just points out

The importance of our Emergency room services.

What if we were closed today?

Buddy blake May not have survived.

And so we could...

Are you sure About this?

Unfortunately...

Even the valiant efforts Of our emergency room crew

Could not...

Buddy blake did not survive.

He passed away A few moments ago.

As shocking as this is--

And what could be more shocking Than the untimely demise

Of a truly great man?--

Let us remember that Buddy blake's last wish

Was to raise as much Money as possible

For the hospital he loved, Community general.

So we will continue on with our Telethon for just one reason--

Buddy blake would want it That way.

Yes, and um... Now...

Thank you.

And now how about a nice welcome

For a wonderful pair Of ballroom dancers--

Marvin and maxine.

Let's hear it, come on.

Marvin and maxine.

( johnny mathis song playing )

I know how upset you all must be

But I also know You all came down here

Out of your great Love for buddy

So I'm asking you

To see this telethon through

In buddy's memory.

I can't get a plane out Till tomorrow anyway.

Sarah: Monty and I used to do An act together.

Do you remember It, honey?

Sure, sure We could do that.

Hank: I was rehearsing some bits

Buddy would have loved.

I'll stay.

Thank you.

Thank you all.

( irish jig playing )

I think steve is right.

How are you going To prove

One of those people Killed buddy?

I don't know yet.

How's it going Out there?

When buddy got killed, We shot up to 27,000

But after that, We just died.

Somebody's got to Front this thing.

Where's briggs?

He's lying with an Ice pack on his head.

Huh?

He's fine, he's nervous.

Dad, elvis has left The building

And delores can't Find him anywhere.

Steve, my boy.

What do you want?

Do you remember Mentioning

You'd do anything To help?

Yeah.

Take this list of acts

And read them As they come on.

No, dad, I can't do that.

It's for the Emergency room.

I'm not A performer, dad.

It's all right, Go on.

Don't do this to me.

Say something.

( clears throat )

How do you like the so show far?

( knock )

May I help?

Ah... Yeah, you can give me A hand with this.

It's stuck.

It sure is.

Do you think Michael killed buddy?

Looks that way, Doesn't it?

Obviously you don't.

Uh, no-- no I don't

But I think someone Close to him did.

Like his widow?

His rich widow?

If all I wanted Was the money

I would have divorced The slob 20 years ago

While I could still Wear a bikini.

But then if you Just divorced him

You'd only get half the money.

With michael Out of the way

You get the Whole estate.

I do now.

Just toss this and the Rest of the stuff here.

Where were you when Buddy was killed?

None of your business.

That's where I was.

That was The three little piggies

Doing "My achy bacon heart."

Our next act will be Appearing nightly

At the gallery bar and grill.

Please welcome Waldo the juggler.

He was supposed To introduce

The tumbling Tasmanians.

Oh...

Marcy blake is Starting to look

Like a Prime suspect.

Keep an eye On her.

Dee, hold down The fort.

They're sitting on Their hands out there.

Can't those comedy writers Give me a few jokes?

I'm dying out there.

Would you like something Cold to drink?

Yeah, make it a diet soda, Lots of ice please.

Makeup.

You must have broken All speed records to get here.

No, no, herb, I don't think That's a good idea.

Somebody might see us together.

( laughing )

Hotel security-- You're busted.

Come with me.

What are we Going to do?

Really, I kid around, But I really love doctors.

And I love that they have This knowledge and education

And if I am ever in trouble

I want a doctor near.

So I moved next To a golf course.

Don't laugh!

The other day I keel over--

Two doctors Came over.

One says, "I think You fainted."

I said, "I'd like A second opinion."

The other says

"I think your backswing's Too short."

Hank is great.

Yeah... He always was.

Mallory: Now, folks

I've heard a rumor

That community general's Own dr. Sloan

Has been known to cut loose With some fancy footwork.

Maybe with a little Encouragement...

What do you say, doc?

Go on.

Mallory: Ladies and gentlemen

From community General hospital's

Emergency room, Dr. Mark sloan!

Surprise!

I'll get you For this one.

Okay.

( "Me and my shadow" playing )

I'm surprised you came To this telethon

After the way Buddy's treated you.

Buddy treated everyone Exactly the same:

Rotten.

You had an extra Reason to kill him:

When your wife Fell ill

And you asked Buddy for money

To send her to Florida, he refused.

How'd you know that?

Michael told me.

He didn't even come To the funeral.

Good thing-- I'd have killed him.

Maybe you couldn't Until this telethon.

I didn't kill him, doc.

Then maybe you Wouldn't mind

Telling me Where you were

When buddy Was murdered.

Across the street Getting quietly smashed.

Ask the bartender.

I will.

( piano plays big finish )

Hello?

Yeah, this is the blake suite.

No, no, she can't come To the phone now.

She's in the shower.

She's in the shower.

All right, get him Out of the room.

Uh, yes, I'm sorry To keep you waiting.

This is mrs. Steiner

The assistant Hotel manager.

There's been a mix-up In mrs. Blake's account.

We need verification of Her credit card number.

I'm her associate.

Can't this wait?

No, sir, I'm afraid not.

Unless this matter is Cleared up immediately

Another party will be Checking into the room.

I'll be right there.

He'll be right down.

Good girl.

Hey!

Oh.

Here you go.

Oh!

Watch where You're going!

Sorry, pal.

Hey, who are you?

Housekeeping-- We got your mints.

Hey, come back here!

I have this Terrible feeling

We'll never raise The $100,000.

17 hours...

Has anybody ever Talked for 17 hours?

Mr. Wainwright Will never take me Seriously again.

Tell monty and sarah

I can't learn Their jokes.

17 hours Into this telethon

And we've only raised Two-thirds of the money.

Maybe just A two-minute nap.

Oh, no, Sloan, jr.

Stay up.

Sloan, help me.

I guarantee the board Will raise the money--

I guarantee, sloan.

Norman, calm down.

It isn't over yet.

How are you, sam?

Great, like I'm swimming Through jello.

Here, finish.

Where are Monty and sarah?

They're in Their dressing room

Rehearsing Their old act.

Let's go, Back to the stage.

Right this way.

Where am I?

Right this way.

When I first Met sarah

I asked if I could See her home

So she gave me A picture.

When we first Got married, It was great.

Then, as we were walking Back down the aisle...

I said, "What Would you like For a wedding gift?"

And she said, "Separate honeymoons."

I always say, "Love Is mind over matter."

That's right.

She doesn't mind And I don't matter.

Oh, hi, doc sloan.

Hey, don't stop.

I love the routine.

So did the troops In valley forge.

We're not that Old, darling.

It was gettysburg.

What can we do for you?

I wanted to ask you A couple of questions.

Monty: Do we win A prize?

No, but maybe we find out

Who killed Buddy.

Michael killed buddy.

Poor kid.

Sloan: I don't think so.

Not michael.

But somebody who hated him did.

And you two both had good reason To hate buddy blake.

Mr. Warmth, Mr. Personality.

Sloan: I mean the buddy blake

Who ruined Your marriage.

Let's take A break, monty.

You're right, I did have An affair with buddy

Years ago when we Were working with him.

It didn't last long.

None of buddy's Affairs ever did.

It was the biggest Mistake I ever made.

From what I hear

You took that affair Pretty seriously

And when buddy Broke it off so abruptly

You were very upset.

I thought he loved me

Because he called me "Honey."

Turned out he couldn't Remember my name.

Monty, is it true At that time

You threatened To kill him?

Sure, but I Didn't have to.

He was dying Every wednesday night

In front of 30 million people On television.

But you took the breakup Of your marriage

Pretty hard, didn't you?

Well, Wouldn't you?

But after six weeks In a rubber room...

No, no, I got over it, doc.

And here We are again

For the first time.

That's great.

I'm happy For both of you.

Oh, one last thing.

When buddy Was murdered

Where were The both of you?

Is this A trick question?

No, no, really.

I just wondered Where you were.

Together.

As in, In the same room

At the same time.

Oh.

Well, I mean, you had finished Writing buddy's material

And nobody saw you backstage

So I was just wondering What you were doing.

♪ makin' whoopee! ♪

Oh...

Sorry.

Congratulations To the both of you.

( chuckles )

Stewart: Mark...

Jack, where Have you been?

I think I know Who killed buddy blake.

I got the proof Right here.

( whistles )

Well... One more hour to go.

( weakly: ) One... More hour.

( drum roll )

( clears throat )

Uh, let's go check The tote board, shall we?

Oh, look at that.

Isn't that nice?

But folks, let's put it Over the top, shall we?

For the emergency room.

( sighs )

I love the emergency room.

They have... Beds there--

Nice...

Soft...

Warm beds with...

Blankets and...

Pillows...

( loud drum roll )

Right!

( clears throat )

Uh, our next guest is...

Carlotta, who is going To yodel for us.

( yodeling country And western-style )

Sloan: What do you know.

After all Buddy's insults

He gave marcy Power of attorney.

She didn't waste any time Transferring his money

Into her bank Accounts either.

Or changing The ownership

On the rest Of their holdings.

The changes Are dated last week.

Add that to mr. Loverboy And you get...

Marcy: Survival.

I don't know who You two think you are

But I've got a good mind To call a cop.

Then you'd have To explain

How buddy's bank Accounts became yours

And as lately As last week.

Maybe I can explain.

I'm herb morton, Buddy's business manager.

Man, that's not all You manage, pal.

Marcy and I Love one another

Which is why I couldn't stand by

And watch what buddy Was doing to her.

Stewart: So you killed him.

Hardly.

Everybody knows buddy Was a horrible person

But what you probably Don't know is...

He was also a two-timing Philanderer and gambler.

Morton: It's true.

Every month I'd See large sums Of money paid out

To one young woman or another

Or to cover His markers in las vegas.

I was... That is, we were Merely protecting what was left.

All I'm hearing is a stronger Motive for murder.

Unless you could tell us Where you were around the time

Buddy was killed.

I was backstage On the phone with herb.

Morton: Actually, we were On a conference call

With an associate at my office, Talking about the information

In those faxes.

The call was timed

And dated, if you'd Care to check.

Any other questions, doc?

Uh, no, I don't Think so

Unless you want To make a contribution

To the telethon.

If you'll excuse us.

Guess not.

I'm sorry, mark, I... I thought

We had the killer.

That's okay, so did I.

So what does that mean-- Marcy's got an alibi

Hank was across The street at the bar

Having a drink, Which I checked

And sarah and monty Were together.

Who does that leave?

Leaves you know who.

Michael.

Not necessarily, though, Because monty and sarah

Only have each other As alibis.

Joe, can you Play the tape

From just A few minutes

Before buddy Comes out there?

I'm not quite sure

What we're Looking for here.

Hold it right there.

There's monty sitting

At the celebrity Phone bank.

Clock says 12:15.

Okay, go ahead.

All right, stop.

Now, look, monty's gone

And the clock Reads 12:18.

Can you fast forward now To when he comes back?

Stewart: Now monty's back At the phone bank

And the clock Says...

12:30.

So where'd he go For the 12 minutes?

I don't know.

Wait a minute, Didn't you tell me

That sarah said monty Was with her backstage?

Maybe.

Joe, could we see this From a different angle

Right from the top?

( keys clacking )

Okay, freeze it Right there.

Can you enlarge That any?

Yeah, see?

Now, there's sarah And the clock.

So what does That say?

12:18.

Okay.

Okay, keep going, joe.

( sighs )

12:30-- sarah's Still there

No sign of monty.

So she lied

About monty Being with her.

Oh, come on, mark, it doesn't Mean that monty murdered buddy.

Joe, can I see that angle Of monty again?

Can you enlarge that any?

Yeah.

All right.

Now, on The same screen

Can you show me This picture

Of monty From before?

There.

Oh, this is Very interesting.

Now I think We have something.

( grunts )

Stewart: Steve.

Steve, hey!

Your dad needs To see you right away.

He's in The editing room.

Now he wants me To edit?

He just wants To see you.

Mr. B. Will take over.

I don't think so, no.

Just open your Mouth, norman.

Something will Come out.

I'm good At public speaking

I just don't enjoy it.

Just relax, all right?

Just be yourself.

Whatever happened To jerry lewis?

He's in france.

I don't want to do this.

You're going to be fine.

What's going on?

Ah, plasma With cream and sugar.

This is only going To take a minute.

I thought you'd like To be here

When I exposed Buddy blake's killer.

Well, this better Be good, doc.

I've been up for About 36 hours

And I'm beat.

Not going to take long.

I just have a tape I want you to see here.

Oh, and sarah, I want to tell you

I know that you lied.

You never left the set.

We have it On tape.

This is ridiculous.

Sloan: Wait a minute.

That's not what I Want to show you.

In reviewing these tapes

There's one thing That caught my attention

And that was your hair, monty.

That's how I know

You killed Buddy blake.

What is this, A joke?

What's the punch line?

Sloan: Take a look here.

We edited some tapes.

Now, if you look closely

At the beginning Of the telethon

Monty's hair Is rather short.

Now, after buddy Was killed

You'll notice monty's hair Hangs over his ears.

I asked myself, how much Hair can a person grow

In 30 minutes?

All right, you got me.

How much?

The answer is, It wasn't your hair.

When you and Buddy struggled

In the dressing room

And you stabbed him, Your toupee must have fallen off

And in your rush To escape

You grabbed buddy's By mistake

Which is longer Than yours.

That's crazy.

My toupee fits perfectly.

Well, of course

Because you have a spare toupee

Because as soon as you could, You took off buddy's toupee

And put on your own... This one.

You can't prove any of this.

When buddy staggered on stage

I thought he was Coming toward me

But actually, he Was going toward you

Clutching this hairpiece-- Your toupee.

This is The hairpiece

Buddy was carrying On stage--

Your toupee.

And it has The same code number

Assigned by the wigmaker To identify a specific client

In this case... You.

Monty, I'm so sorry.

Sloan: You were afraid he Did it, weren't you?

That's why you Lied for him.

He was such a mean, Cruel, creep.

I hated him

For what he Took from me--

My career, My dignity.

Most of all, because of you.

He never had me, monty.

He had a simple naive girl Who came to her senses too late

And has regretted It ever since.

It sure looked like you.

Let's go, monty.

What?

I'm placing you Under arrest.

I'm being arrested By an emcee?

What is this, Hollywood?

Steve is A detective

At the police Force, monty.

Come on.

Monty...

This time I'm going To stick around.

Norman: And after college, I got a job

Working for A textile manufacturer.

"Cotton does your body good-- Just don't ask the sheep."

( giggles )

Well, I don't know Where everybody is

But we have ten minutes to go

And we haven't reached Our goal yet.

So then I... I...

Dr. Sloan, steve, Somebody... Help me.
