All language subtitles for Dr. Kildare S01E15 My Brother, The Doctor.mkv

Hunter Huckleberry Semper and Sam is one
of every state in the Union.

He's stolen, cheated, robbed, burgled,
and beaten up every bounty hunter that's

tried to catch him.

Well, you folks can see this job is not
going to be an easy lead pipe cinch.

Huh? How's that?

What's the matter, Tommy?

Can't laugh, huh? Got a pain in the
neck.

You think you have a pain in the neck,
huh, Tom?

Well, how do you think a giraffe feels
when he has his tonsils out?

You'd kill him, Simon.

They're a captive audience.

You off for lunch?

Yeah, my brother's waiting at Mac's.
Come on along. I'm broke.

You'll be our guest at the 85 -cent
special.

Oh, I got some mail for you. Oh.

Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. My brother
Nathan's going to have a nice dessert.

You're lucky you got a brother you can
put the gouge on.

True words, and the rest of that old
bromide.

Look, I know it. Let's face it. My
angel. My reserve bank account.

Hey -ah!

Hey, poor old... Now, last night... Now,
hear this. Last night, Lila and

I got married.

You're kidding. No, no, no, look.

Hey, congratulations.

Thank you, thank you. And what do you
say now?

Last night?

Last night.

Some honeymoon.

Yeah, but next fall.

Next fall, a two -week, slightly delayed
honeymoon in Acapulco.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

A week ago, you couldn't even afford to
get married now, Acapulco. You remember

those employment teasers that the
capital insurance company sent us? Yeah.

Well, what'd you do with yours?

I tore it up. What else?

Well, I went in and talked to him, and
yesterday I signed a contract.

$15 ,000 a year starting the day after
internship and a salary advance as soon

as I sign my name.

$15 ,000?

$15 ,000. And I'll be thinking of you
poor peasants when I'm lying on the sand

and the sun pounding my money.

Tell Lyda we're happy for you both. Oh,
yeah.

Well, she finally hooked the poor trout,
huh? She deserves it. She played him

for three years.

Nathan's been engaged for five years.

Five. What's holding him up?

Can't afford to, at least not while I'm
still here, you know.

Okay, come on. Well, wait a minute, Jim.
I know you. I know what you're

thinking. Sure, Nathan bankrolled me
through college, med school, internship.

Now maybe two years of residency, but
that's the way he wants it. Simon, I

didn't say a word. But you're thinking.

The only thing I'm thinking about is
food. Now, come on.

Well, you said it, Simon. You said it.

Some dessert. Well, the no payment I can
expect every month, but the dental

bills, that's a bonus.

Sorry, I couldn't wait for the free
dental college. My tooth was killing me.

right, forget it, forget it. Well, I was
planning to buy a new suit for next

month, you know what I mean?

Oh, listen, you are coming tonight for
Passover, don't forget. Oh, I heard a

wild resident could give me away.

Good.

I got a Seder present for the folks from
you and me.

How much?

It's paid for.

See, I got to pick up Judy after work,
and we're going right to the house, so I

figured that you and Jim could bring the
presents. You know, kind of a surprise

for Mama.

You want me to take it to Mama after you
paid for it?

What is it?

This will kill you.

It is a pressure cooker for my Papa.

Oh, just what your dad needs, huh?

Well, that's the point. You see, Papa's
the kind of guy, if we brought him

anything he really needed, you know what
he'd say? What?

He'd say, boys, your mama's dying for a
pressure cooker, and you spend your

money on foolishness.

That sounds like your father.

He'd mean it, too. That's not half of
it. Mama's the kind of person.

She'll say... You fellas want anything
else? Oh, no, thanks, man.

Thank you. No, I'll... I'll pay for it.

Come on, don't... What are you... Simon,
what are you trying to do, bust a

tradition? Yeah, I'm trying to bust a
tradition.

Say, I'll pay for it.

Take your hand out of your pocket. I'm
going to pay for it.

I'm 12 cents short.

12 cents short. That's the story of his
life.

I'll straighten it out with Mac.

Look, Simon, when it comes time for me
to take from little brother, it's going

to be a lot more than three lunches. You
know what I mean? I'll be dragging so

many kids into your office, it'll look
like a traffic jam in a kindergarten.

Not in my office, because I'm finished
with it.

I'm not going into pediatrics.

You're kidding.

What do you mean? What do you mean
you're not going into pediatrics? Your

heart's in pediatrics.

I'm taking a job with an insurance
company for $15 ,000 a year. You're off

hook, Nathan.

You can live your own life.

Give me the bill. Give me the bill.

Sit down.

Simon. You mind your own business. Hey,
Simon, come on.

He's all steamed up. You... You cool
off.

I know he's chalked up for pediatrics.
That's where I am now. He's not here.

Look, stick your head out in the hall
and see if... Okay.

Oh.

Well, thanks.

He's not in resident hall either.

He wouldn't be in the plaster room,
would he? I don't know.

Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.

Miss Fein, where's Dr. Gersky?

I don't know, doctor.

Well, his name is on the board, isn't
it?

Yes, sir.

Well?

Dr. Gomer, Dr.

Gersky had some very important business
to attend to.

Well, I should have guessed.

Two hours ago, a former Miss America was
admitted to surgery for an

appendectomy.

Gersky's up there now, offering to
scrub... Oh, no, sir. No, sir. It's a

matter. A life or death.

I'm covering for him.

Well, then why isn't your name chalked
on the board, doctor?

Slipped my mind. Slipped your mind? I'm
not a bit surprised, Kildare.

Lodging a thought in the mind of an
intern is like trying to hold water in a

sieve. So you're covering for Agursky
and your name isn't up on the board.

Well, I'll tell you an open secret,
Kildare. On my service, I am consulted

advance when one intern covers for
another, no matter what, when, or why.

Good afternoon, Doctor.

Hi, Doctor.

Performed any emergency shampoos lately?

Come on, get off of it. Don't be a wise
guy. You know, I've been thinking

seriously of turning Barney in on
charges of malpractice. He nicked three

last week. Boy, are you funny.

Like a crutch.

Doctor?

Doctor? Hi, Connors. Stick around and
say a few cheery words.

Another time.

What's the matter, doctor? Don't you go
in for the honorable practice of girl

watching?

Well, what's the matter? What did I say?

Well, where have you been?

Nobody in pediatrics knew where you
were. I tried to cover for you, but Dr.

Goldmayer is blowing his stack.

I told him you had some life and death
matters to take care of. I did.

Wait, Jim, I want to talk to you.

Look, it's important.

I called the insurance company. I set up
an interview.

I went to the administration office. I
saw Gillespie.

Don't say it.

Yeah. Yeah. I withdrew my application
for residency.

You can't.

I can't.

Jim, is there anything wrong with being
a doctor for an insurance company?

Simon, you were cut out to be a
pediatrician.

You know it. I know it. Everybody knows
it.

There's something about you kids like.

They trust you.

You come near them and they're less
scared.

And you sort of come alive when you're
around kids.

I'm not even talking about your talents
as a doctor. You've got something extra.

There's nothing wrong with this
insurance job. For somebody else, but

you.

I'm not talking about me as a doctor.

I'm talking about Nathan, my brother,
and me.

Oh, for Pete's sake, Simon. I know all
about your brother and you.

We've all taken help.

Nine out of ten of us couldn't have
gotten all the way through without some

of assistance.

You know, huh?

Did you know that my brother Nathan
wants to be something?

He wants to do something with his life.

He wants to be a CPA.

And he could have been a CPA by now.

I'll tell you something else, Jim.

Nathan would make a very good father.

But in order to be a father, you've got
to be a husband first.

He can't afford to get married.

Look, I never asked him for anything.

It just never occurred to him that if I
wanted to be a doctor, he had any right

for anything for himself.

See, in order to get a loan for a
medical education, Some sucker. Some

got to have a fountain pen and a steady
job.

So my brother Nathan became a
bookkeeper.

A bookkeeper.

Simon, we've been friends for a long
time. Look, Jim.

If I stay here and take pediatric
residency, it's going to take two or

more years. It's going to stop right
now.

You want to be my friend?

Don't give me any more advice. Now, you
think there's a chance of that

happening?

Sure.

Real good chance.

We didn't get a coffee break all day.

What time will Simon and Jim show up?

I'll be working a couple of more hours.

See, you look bushed.

Honey, Simon is going to work for an
insurance company.

Don't hate me.

No, I mean it.

He's dropping pediatric.

Oh, Nathan.

Oh, I can't believe it.

All the things we have to do.

Getting married's the easy part.

And your CPA.

You'll have that, too.

Oh, we'll have to enroll you in night
school this term.

Don't you think I'm a little old to
start studying for CPA?

That's not your fault.

You are excited, aren't you?

I'm off the hook at last.

You'd think that after years of waiting,
raring to go into action.

Ah, you're still numb.

Wait till the shock wears off.

Have you told your folk?

Well, let's move.

I want to tell Mom she could start
planning on grandchildren.

You wanted to see me, Dr. Gillespie? I
meant for you, didn't I?

What's up with Simon and Gersky?

What do you mean?

You have several faults, Dr. Kildare,
but until now, evasiveness has not been

one of them.

You're a close friend of Dr. Nagurski's.
You're aware that he's withdrawn his

application for a residency at Blair.

Yes, sir.

Now, perhaps when I ask you what's up
with Simon Nagurski, you won't stare at

in wide -eyed innocence and ask, what do
I mean?

It's a personal matter, sir.

If he didn't give you the details, I
don't think I should.

You get a gold star for being a non
-meddling, non -interfering friend.

Now we can dispense with your noble
reticence.

I'm going to state a few pertinent facts
and ask some questions. You'll answer

them, or I'll have your viscera sitting
on my desk in a specimen jar as an

example to equivocating interns.

Yes, sir.

Each year, 76 young doctors serve
internship at Blair.

Of that number, perhaps 60 apply for
residency here.

At about 60, perhaps four excite, excite
the interest of the staff.

Your friend, Simon Agursky, happens to
be one of those few.

He's not just sharp, he's a born
pediatrician.

I know.

If he weren't, I wouldn't be undertaking
all this fuss and bother to keep him

from squandering his talents on
insurance work.

I take it the problem is financial in
origin.

Yes. A chronic problem, extended
duration?

I believe so, yes.

Any possibility of spontaneous
remission?

Was his decision a calculated decision
or an emotional decision?

Oh, emotional.

Highly emotional.

Your prognosis is a friend.

I think he'll change his mind.

If he hasn't filed his chance for
residency already.

That'll be all, Doctor.

Oh, Dr.

Kildare, you were reluctant to discuss
this matter when you came in here.

I suggest that you be even more
reluctant to discuss the conversation we

just had. I would hate to spread the
false impression that the Blair staff

-nurses any of its interns.

Get me Dr. Galmier.

Charlie, I may have the answer.

Get word to Ogeski in all channels that
one of the clerks has fouled up his

request. He still wants to withdraw his
application.

You'll have to find another written
statement to that effect.

Should do it.

Interns.

Dr. Simon!

You know me?

Oh, wait a minute.

I think I know you. You're Sam
Strongheart.

You're Marvin Muscles.

You know me.

Oh, you're Dangerous Dick, the terror of
pediatrics.

You got me again, Richard. You always
get me.

Aren't you early?

Yeah.

You're going to tell me about next year
when the two of us can walk through

the... Arboretum.

That's right. Yeah, that's what I came
to talk to you about.

I don't like people who don't keep their
promises, do you?

No.

Well, next year at this time, I may not
be here.

You've got to be.

Well, it's this way. You've got to be so
we can walk on those secret paths.

Dick, you see, I'm afraid that... I can
almost walk now.

What I mean is, even if I'm not here,
you and I will still hike through the

arboretum. Maybe not just once, but
maybe every other Sunday.

Now, how does that sound?

You promise?

You betcha.

You and I don't like people who don't
keep their promises, do we?

No.

Okay.

I have to go now. I have to spend some
time with the other kids, all right?

Okay.

See you, Dr. Simon. See you, dangerous
dick.

Yeah.

I'll see you.

Didn't you shave this morning?

Sure?

You're silly.

That's what happens to you when you grow
up. You get silly.

Will I grow up, Dr. Simon?

You most certainly will. You know what's
going to happen to you?

You're going to get just as silly as the
rest of us. Just as silly. Oh, wait!

Huh?

Don't you like them?

Oh, oh!

I like them. You see what's happening to
you now? You're starting to...

To grow up, you're starting to get just
as silly.

That's for you, because you're my
princess.

Okay? Thank you.

Jim, look, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It was none of my business.

Check. But what I can't stand is
somebody being right when I'm wrong.

Check.

Listen, Jim, you're still coming to the
Seder tonight, aren't you?

I wasn't sure I was still invited.

Well, that's one of the Passover
traditions.

You see, on Seder night, the door is
open. Anybody who wanders in gets a free

meal. Okay.

You going courting?

Oh, that's little Annie Barrows gave me
these. Suspected romantic heart?

Negative. So I... Here.

He's splitting again, huh?

We'll clear it with the AMA. Okay.

Oh, and Jim, a big favor.

If I get up enough guts tonight, I'm
going to tell Nathan I changed my mind.

So would you kind of stick close,
because I just may need you.

Sure.

Oh, boy.

Well, here's the Theta plate.

Oh, Mom, you know, I'm so happy, I think
I'm going to be sick.

Oh, you need something calm to drink.

Nathan! You're telling me that Simon
really wants to be an insurance doctor?

Well, they make good money, why not?

Judy, here's your drink.

Thanks. Oh, and about time.

Well, I've got things to do in the
kitchen. You just stay here and relax,

Hey, I didn't know you drank anything
stronger than beer.

Well, there's a first time for
everything, Mom. Today I'm a new man.

He's celebrating a wedding. Early.

To our marriage.

Our marriage.

Maybe in the fall.

In the fall?

Well, you've got to plan these things.

You just can't rush into them.

After five years, you think we can rush
in?

And you're saying that Simon really
wants to give up being a children's

Sure. Don't you believe it?

Yeah. Yeah.

I believe it.

Hi, folks.

Hi. Hello, Jim.

Welcome, Jim. Welcome.

Thank you very much. I know who it was
from the noise.

Hello, sweetheart.

Right on time, Simon.

We're almost ready, Jim. I've been ready
for a week. Oh, you know, I could

just... Hmm.

Congratulations. I hope you're passing
those around.

When you get a $15 ,000 job, come on.
Maybe never.

Now it's your turn to congratulate
Nathan and me on our upcoming marriage.

Oh, congratulations.

Oh, Jim, here.

I got a drink for you. Thank you. Jim,
it's good to have you here. I've been

hitting around for weeks. I thought
Simon was never going to ask me. Well,

Nathan and I have our own place, you
have a standing invitation to dinner.

make sure that it isn't on Yom Kippur.
That's a fasting holiday.

Isn't it wonderful about Simon?

Yeah. So, Simon?

So, Pop?

You're giving up pediatrics?

Well, Pop, I was just going to tell
Nathan... Ladies and gentlemen, the

ready.

Gentlemen.

Oh, well, you too, Simon.

Ow. That hurts.

Your mother's got your pegs on.

Right here, Jim.

Jim, now you can see where my son's
inherited that sense of humor.

I'm the only strict man in the family.

Well, you'll have Judy to keep you
company sooner or later.

Yes. And as soon as she's at the Gursky,
she'll probably turn out to be another

comedian. Me? I can't get a word in
edgeway.

Praise art thou, O Lord, our God, ruler
of the world, who has created the

fruit of the vine.

Amen.

Jim,

your benefit.

The Seder is a festival that celebrates
the exodus of the Jews from Egypt, and

it pays tribute to man's continuing
fight against tyranny.

Traditionally, the story is told as a
series of answers to questions that are

put by the youngest son.

So, Simon?

Okay, Pop.

Why is this night different from all
other nights?

Nathan.

Are you turning the theta into a
cocktail party?

Sorry, Pop.

He's excited.

All right, son.

Why is this night different from all
other nights?

On all other nights, we eat either
leavened or unleavened bread.

Why on this night do we eat only
unleavened bread?

On all other nights, we eat all kinds of
herbs.

Why on this night do we eat especially
bitter herbs?

In answer to your question, Simon, we
eat only matzo tonight because when our

forefathers fled from Egypt, it was in
great haste.

They had no time to mix the dough with
yeast.

And as they carried it along, the sun
baked the dough into the flat unleavened

bread we now call matzah.

And so, tonight, in celebration of that
ancient time, now we come to the

narrative history of the Exodus, where
it is traditional to take turns in

relating. It starts at the time of the
building of the pyramid and goes on from

there. And as the story goes, the
Egyptian princess plucked the baby from

bulrushes, brought him home, and adopted
him.

Naming him Moses.

And so it was that the younger
brother... The younger brother became a

Egypt.

While the elder brother, Aaron, wandered
the hills as a shepherd.

Not anymore, Nathan.

We now mix the sweet and bitter herbs,
eating them together, to remind us of

sweetness of freedom and the bitterness
that there are still people not free.

On my plate, there are only bitter herb.

Nathan, we have guests.

I got a headache. I don't think I can
eat.

I'll get you some pills.

You stay where you are.

We don't want to spoil the theater for
Jim.

Please, I'll just go in the other room
and relax.

Jim, I'm sorry.

Never mind.

We eat now.

I hate to keep repeating myself, but
this dinner was delicious.

Thank you again.

I'm pleased that you're pleased, Jim.

You're awfully quiet tonight, Simon.

Anything short of a monologue is quiet
for Simon.

I ate too much, Pop.

Why don't you all go into the living
room while I clear the table? Here, Mom,

I'll help you clear.

You'd better see if Nathan's all right.

Maybe he's hungry.

Don't worry about him, Mom. He'll be all
right.

What was that?

Oh, thunder.

Sonic boom.

Sounded pretty close.

Have you made up your mind about the
insurance job?

Yeah, I'm not taking it.

If I could only borrow on my pension.

Pop, we've been over that. You can't.

I only wish for Judy's sake we hadn't
had this confusion.

Yeah.

Nat, you know that job I was telling you
about?

I'm not going to take it.

What do you mean?

Well, I realized that I really want to
be a pediatrician.

I like kids.

I know I'd make a good pediatrician.

What? Now you're talking sense.

One thing, Donette, I want to do this on
my own, strictly on my own. Come on,

what do you mean on your own? You know,
you can't take your residency without

help. You've got to have help.

No, I can do it. No, you can't.

I have to. You and Judy are getting
married.

What's the matter?

What's going on here?

Simon, he decided to take his residency.

Naturally, he's going to have to have
help.

Judy, I just told him... From you?

Who else?

It's unfair.

What about our lives?

Go on, tell him it's unfair.

Go on.

Well, she's got a point. Of course I've
got a point.

We've made plans already.

I thought this whole thing was settled.

For Pete's sake, Judy, I never asked him
for anything. I just told him.

She's right.

She's right!

I mean, after all, I have been
supporting you for a long time. You

wanted to become a doctor. I said, okay,
you can become a doctor. I helped you.

But what about me? I mean, I want to be
a CPA. I want to get married.

I don't want anything, Nathan. Now, what
are you getting excited about? No, no,

no. I'll take the loan payments.

What does it nothing like me need with
money? You know what I mean?

So I won't be a CPA. I won't get
married.

Who says we can't get married?

Look, you want to live on nothing?

You think I like just being engaged?

We can't afford to get married now.

Well, I'm working.

Simon could chip in something soon.

Residents may double what interns make,
right?

I can get a part -time job.

I am not getting married like this,
period.

Living on a shoestring. Nathan. I'm not
going to split my niggas with loan

companies. No. I want my wife to have
the best.

I don't need the best.

Hello? Look, maybe Pop can. Pop can't.
He's just got what to eat. Just pay the

rent. No more.

That's enough.

Have we forgotten that this is a holy
day?

Okay, okay.

Uh, Simon, that explosion we heard was a
gas main at the Commodore Hotel. Sounds

like a bad one. All interns called back
on duty.

I'm sorry, Jim. I can't leave here until
this thing is settled. Are you a doctor

or aren't you?

Come on.

The way you've been acting lately...

You don't really want to marry me, do
you?

You're just looking for a cheap way out.

This whiskey.

Surgical. Carpenter, how many interns
haven't reported in yet?

Five, doctor. All notified and
returning.

Sharp, we'll need you here in emergency.

Start at the other end.

Both of you to pediatrics.

They'll be spilling over out there.
There was a children's tour staying in

hotel.

How are we on sterile sheets?

Good, doctor. Good supply ready.

Too bad?

No, not so far.

None of the kids seem to be much more
than scared.

From what I gather, the tour was on the
ground floor. Of course, we may have

kids coming in later who weren't with
the tour.

We're short of beds, of course, but
there are litters on the way. Work as

as you can because there are more coming
up. X -rays jam, so just keep them

still unless you run across something
that needs immediate attention.

Got some sober water, nurse.

there's no more flames.

You better tell your men to be careful.
A lot of hot spots.

You get them all out?

I'll accept those people in the annex,
but they're okay.

We got a lot of gas pockets on that fire
stairway. It's the only way they can

come through.

I'll send my boys in with masks. They'll
bring them out easy.

Any kids in there?

Nope. We cleared them out already. Good.

Hello, Mr. Gersky. Some night, huh?

Huh?

The gas main explosion, didn't you hear
it? I thought it would break every

bottle in the place. Give me whiskey.

It says, when did you start drinking
whiskey?

Whiskey.

I know what you need. Give me the
whiskey.

Judging from the radio, it must have
been a real catastrophe.

I guess your brother's over there now
saving a bunch of lives.

Sure, your brother Simon over at the
explosion.

I gotta hand it to those interns.

They have what it takes.

They don't have to prove nothing to
nobody, do they?

No, they do it every day.

Two years ago, one of them climbed down
into a sewer cave in to give a guy some

morphine.

Another cave in, they both were killed.

I've got what it takes.

Sure, but a bookkeeper, a bartender, it
isn't the same thing, you know what I

mean?

Over at the explosion.

Hey! Hey!

Do you want your coffee?

What's happening in there?

It's all over, buddy. You can go home
now.

Just some people trapped on the third
floor of the attic.

Trapped?

Well, sort of.

But they're in no danger as long as they
stay put.

And we got no masks going any minute
now.

Trapped.

Hey, come back here, you jerk.

You can't go in there. Come back.

Get him.

Go get him.

Who the devil is that?

Something I thought, Captain. I thought
it was some kind of a nut or something.

This is a real big hospital, isn't it?

Sure is.

I was born in a hospital.

Were you?

You ought to know the ropes.

I'll tell you what.

Let's see what kind of an example you
can set, okay?

You keep nice and still.

We don't want the other kids to get
scared, do we?

Nah.

Oh,

you're going to be all right, sis.

Hold on a second. Hold on. I think I
found your trouble. Here it is.

Here it is.

See that little speck? Blow that off.

See that, kids? It's all gone.

Ladies and gentlemen, remember, if you
have any trouble at all with the

schnozzola, just remember the elephant,
especially the adults, when he blows his

nose how long it takes till he gets
results.

Disastrous for disaster.

What left?

That's it.

What's this?

Police emergency squad...

Sure is quiet.

Yeah, but it's been a pretty noisy
evening all the way around.

Oh, listen, about the... Oh, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have pushed.

Will you stop? I never pay attention to
you anyway.

It's all my fault.

I never should have taken Nathan off the
hook and tried to hang him right back

on it.

Tried?

I can't take any more handouts.

Not after tonight.

Well, maybe we ought to get down to
emergency.

Things might not be so quiet down there.

Yeah.

Not bad.

A couple of lacerations. No apparent
effect from the gas.

You think these lacerations need
tutoring?

Yes, I agree.

The act's kind of strange, though. Sort
of shook up.

I think he's half drunk.

Come on, let's cut it out.

It isn't as if it's the end of the
world.

Besides, it's better to know where you
stand.

I don't think Nathan really means it.
Oh, he's one like Mickey Mantle, that's

all I can say.

Oh, he just... Ruth, I heard the whole
argument.

Hello?

Diamond? Yes?

Say that again.

Yes. Yes, we'll be there right away.

Goodbye.

Arthur, what is it?

I knew something was going to happen. I
felt it all evening long.

What is it?

Nathan's been hurt.

This is ridiculous.

Why don't you let me go out there and
tell Simon you want to talk to him?

Because I don't want to talk to him. I
don't want him in here.

He thinks after what happened that...
Well, that you might hate him.

Maybe I do.

Oh, sure.

Let's hear you say it.

Come on. I hate Simon.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

You two have a problem.

I don't know about his problem. I got a
hangover.

No, I mean a real problem.

You almost killed yourself tonight
proving it. Look, will you stop

Get out of here.

Look, Doc, you asked me to hang around?
Oh, yeah. I wanted to know what

happened. What happened? He just ran in
the hotel.

Lucky the fire was out.

But why?

Who knows?

There were people trapped, but I told
them they were okay.

Just like that, he ran in.

Hank, he's cracked.

He got as far as the stairwell and hit
that hot gas and wham, he dropped like a

stone. The guy's obviously off his
rocker, Doc.

Do you want my advice?

No, no, no, I don't.

Well, maybe I can leave then, huh? Yeah.

Oh, thank you.

Did you phone the family?

Yeah, they're coming over.

Did you see him? Yeah.

Well, how is he?

He's fine.

Simon, why don't you go in there and
talk to him?

He doesn't want to see me. He doesn't
want to talk to me.

I don't blame him, Jim. This whole thing
has been a big mess. It's my fault. I

don't blame him.

Well, you're not gonna solve anything by
standing out here shuffling your feet.

What would you like me to do?

Get in there and talk to him.

What am I gonna say to him? What can I
say to him?

You want me to tell him some jokes?

How is Agerski?

Not the patient, the doctor.

Lousy, sir, both of them.

That's hardly a medical diagnosis.

I know, but it's accurate.

What course of treatment do you propose?

I don't know.

No, my folks were always pretty well
off. I never had Simon's financial

difficulties. But there wasn't a day in
my life that I wouldn't have given up

that security for a brother like Nathan
or even a sister.

I know it sounds trite, but it's true.

I know what you mean.

Why is it, sir, that two people as close
to each other as they are can't seem to

communicate with each other?

I assume you're fairly close to your
mother.

Yes. I also assume...

that there are certain events in your
life, certain desires, certain

aspirations, which you would find
difficult to discuss with her.

The very bond that unites two people is
often a barrier between them, but it's

never an insurmountable barrier,
especially when some outside forces

overcome it. I think you know what I
mean.

Go for a little walk, huh?

Me too.

Oh, just a little walk.

What's the matter with you, Jim? Will
you walk?

Nothing's the matter.

Just a nice little walk.

Okay. No worries, Jim. I dare you. Jim,
I can't do that.

I changed my mind. I'm going to take the
insurance job.

No, you're not.

Nat, I know my own mind.

That's a laugh.

Look, seriously, Nat. I want you and
Judy to be very happy. Now, get off my

back. Look, son.

You're going to take that residency.
You're going to take the whole works. I

mean it. I told you not to. I don't want
to hear another word about it. You're

not going to make a fool out of me.
You're going to take that residency.

You're going to take your hand.

You want to hit me, Ned?

Is that what you want?

You want to hit me?

What's happening to it?

What are we doing to each other?

It's my fault, Matt.

It's my fault. I cooked.

You didn't take, Simon.

I gave.

See the difference? You understand?

You did not take. I gave.

Somewhere along the line, I started
forcing my help on you. You know.

Of course.

Whether you wanted it or not.

Five bucks here, ten bucks there.

Like I was trying to keep myself broke.

Why?

Excuse.

A big fat excuse. You. I was using you
for an excuse not to be a CPA.

Not to get married.

Not to take the responsibility of a
family.

A noble excuse to justify my being a
nothing, a lousy bookkeeper helping my

brother be a doctor.

Don't say that, Ned.

I'm just beginning to see it.

Because today the whole world tipped
over.

I mean it.

There I stood alone with nothing.

No excuse.

I panicked.

I really panicked.

You panicked?

You?

That ever since I was... Ever since I
can remember, you had shoulders this

I used to tell myself, if you want a
mountain moved...

You ask Nathan, and he'll move it.

To the folks, does anybody ever come to
me for help, for advice?

They go to Nathan.

Doesn't that prove anything?

Remember that night that I came home
from pre -med school, and I was

discouraged, and I was crying.

I was ready to quit.

Did you yell at me?

Did you plead with me?

No, you didn't.

You took me down to the crummy part of
town. We walked through the tenements.

And you saw a little girl.

I said, look at those sores on her hands
and on her face.

I don't know what those sores are, but a
good doctor would know.

The little kid with the bow legs,
rickets.

You said with the right medicine, those
legs would grow straight and strong.

You tell me, a man with that kind of
understanding, a man with that kind of

compassion, is a nobody?

A nobody?

That somebody, now, that's really...

You make me laugh.

Uh,

owe me five dollars.

Come on.

Come on, ask me five.

What are you going to be?

I'm going to be a doctor. What kind of
doctor?

A baby doctor. Now, give me the five.

Get your clothes on. Let's go.

Come on.

You look dejected, doctor.

Did both your patients die from the
treatment?

I don't know, sir. I'm afraid to look.

Come on. Come on, Mac. You'll get a
chance to get dressed, will you?

Lesby? Jim?

Excuse me.

Is everything all right?

Yeah, it's fine. We're going over to
Mac's to... Come on, be my guest. My

Why break a tradition?

Hey, I'm afraid you're going to need
more than five bucks. Here comes the

family.

Hey, Nathan. Nathan, here we are.

It looks all right. Yes.

Judy.

You're all right. You feel all right.
I'm fine. I'm just fine. My brother, the

doctor, fixed me up.

Simon.

Hey, wait a minute.
