Coming right along.

Hurry up. Right into here, please. Quick.

- Please, mister-- - Wait a minute, wait a minute.

What do you mean wait a minute? You're the doctor, no?

- No! - I am the doctor.

- You are the doctor? - Yes, what can I do for you?

Alright! Alright!

Please sir, please sir. That's no good.

She's no good, this woman doctor.

- I need a man doctor. - An emergency call, wasn't it?

- What are you wasting time for? - Please, please go home!

My wife, she very sick, she's going to die.

I got to have a man doctor.

She's going to have a baby again.

- Huh, is that all? - Is that all?

Hey, you--

Take your hands off me.

We got bambino once before, the bambino die.

This time this bambino die I kill you!

You hear? I kill you!

Alright, alright, but put that knife away

before you hurt yourself.

What are you waiting for? Get inside.

Hey, doctor, he's gone crazy. I'm gonna call a cop.

Alright, but give me some water first.

I got to get some water.

Do you want your wife to die?

You get her water, she's staying there.

When a bambino come, okay.

- Where's the bathroom? - We ain't got no bathroom.

The water is in the kitchen.

Hey, lady doctor no save the bambino,

Tony is going to Kill.

She never misses.

Open the door!

Why aren't you speaking to me?

I'm going to save you. I'm going to save, my baby!

- What's going on here, huh? - Take your hands off of me.

- What's the matter, don't you-- - My wife, she's died.

This lady doctor, she's not good.

Why you don't get mad?

Just in time for the christening.

Twins!

Man 1: Twins? Man 2: Twins!

Twins!

Two time.

He would.

That's about all I can say to you young people.

You've done a good job.

You finished your internships

with clean records.

And now you're ready to go out professionally

in your own right.

I want to wish you luck genuinely, good luck.

And to tell you that we'll miss you here.

And to hope that you'll do your best

to make the medical profession proud.

And you two young people

who came in together, worked and completed

your courses together, I hope you'll continue

happily together.

- Thank you. - Thank you, sir.

Great isn't it? Being on our own?

You said a woman couldn't do it.

A woman couldn’t, but you?

Well, you're a superwoman.

I don't know whether to take a bow, or be insulted.

Take a bow, choose your weapon.

Pull.

Well, we each have a diploma an office, and a key.

All we need now is a patient to pay the rent.

- Oh! - Watch out.

- Get him up. - Here...

- A-Are you hurt? - No.

Oh, but you must be hurt after a fall like that.

- Somewhere? - Sure.

Lady, I'm Dynamite Schultz,

the heavy weight champion wrestler.

- Well, better luck next time. - Ha-ha.

Uh, you should've left it there.

Come on.

Oh, I'm so glad, she's not anemic.

Oh, she's going to be alright now.

Well, thank you so much.

Get up! Get up! Get up!

Here, here what do you think you're doing?

Playing horses.

You must've been raised in a stable. Ugh!

Come along, darling, I think the doctor's ready for you now.

A sweet child, Mrs. McGinnis.

Come on.

Hey, what are you trying to do to me?

Listen here, poison ivy you bust one more thing

around this place, the nurse is going to give you

a high temperature, just below your Mason-Dixon line.

Oh, yeah?

- Oh, yeah. - What's the matter?

Of all the things you could've specialized in,

you had to pick children.

Don't you and McGinnis heir get along very well together?

Like lobster and ice-cream.

She's a lobster.

When we get those adenoids out you won't know him.

I'd like to take out his adenoids with a lawn mower.

Come along, youngster, let's have a look at him.

That's all for today then, doc.

And you stay out.

And those are orders.

Hello. Very busy?

Have you an appointment?

That's what I came here to find out.

I don't suppose you professional women go in for sentiment much

but, um... Thanks.

But you know today is supposed to be sort of an anniversary.

Lincoln's birthday, Washington's birthday,

alligator pear week, or your own home week?

You're still cold.

Just ten months ago today, that we hung up our own shingles.

Two months more and the furniture will be paid for.

Sorry you came along?

Marrying you? Don't be silly.

I'd rather be here with you than back in the hospital

saying no to a flock of interns.

Oh-ho, bragging again, huh?

- Howdy, doc? - Howdy, doc?

Now run along to your mother and tell her I want

to see you on Friday.

Now same to you and many of 'em.

What did I tell you, no sex appeal.

You said it and neither is any other woman

in this man's business.

Gee, I wish I'd gone into chorus the with my sister.

She's living on Park Avenue now.

She's got a lab dog, chinchilla coat and a chauffeur.

And believe me she doesn't worry about bedpans.

Maybe your sister slaughtered that. What's up, Don?

Nothing much, I had five patients today.

- Good. - Not so good, charity.

Well, say do you mind if I bust our dinner date tonight?

Walter Rising's daughter invited me to dinner again.

- You know Rising, the, uh-- - Big politician?

I thought I might be smart to accept.

Of course, I understand.

How about you? We can eat at home.

Sure, I will look like a can opener.

- Sure you don't mind? - Of course not.

- So long, doc. - So long, doc.

I wonder how long this has been going on.

- What? - You.

I've been going on for ages.

Me too, think of all the time we wasted.

- Oh, you're so young. - Hmmm?

- Oh, I mean to be a doctor. - Young?

But, uh, good.

Are you?

What do you think?

I don't seem able to think.

It's after 2:00.

- Doctor's orders? - Doctor's orders.

May I do something for you?

Do you know where Dr. Andrews is in?

I've been ringing his bell for 10 minutes.

Well, I don't know. He-- he should be...

Probably, he's had a cold.

Perhaps I can help you. I'm Dr. Stevens.

Dr. Stevens?

A woman doctor, huh? No thanks.

Glenda.

Bring my keys, will you?

I-- I thought maybe, I...

Do you know, is Dr. Stevens in?

Well, yes. Right this way.

In here please.

Won't you sit down?

Now what can I do for you? I'm Dr. Stevens.

You?

You're Dr. Stevens?

Well, then, uh, I'll be back.

Thanks. Later perhaps.

Another customer scared of a woman doctor.

- When will they learn? - I'll give you two guesses.

Give me those keys. I want to see what the boyfriend's doing.

Okay.

- Woah. - Hope I'm disturbing you.

Oh... What time is it?

-11:30. Don: Oh.

You look as though you've had one of those nights.

Oh, I'm still groggy.

- I'll tell you all about it. - That's right.

You go right ahead and tell mother everything.

- My, what big orders you give. - I don't have to.

I know, you went dancing.

Then she cuddled up close to you and told you what a great

big, strong, handsome man you were.

How'd you know?

My men are everywhere.

Well, go on.

You mean, there's more?

You don't want a road map, do you?

No I... I rather guess I don't.

Well, |-I just came to tell you, it's a lovely day.

Yeah, well, you can have all of it.

Say...

What's got into you lately?

I don't know, Mary, guess it's our punky little offices

the neighborhood, the patients we get.

You know, I'm done with few of those.

I'm just getting sick of it, I guess.

Now, listen, Don, we've been together ever since

we were kids, haven't we?

Went through school, college, medical school.

Well, sure.

Then why don't you come straight out and tell me

what you're trying so hard not to tell me.

Well, you know I, I could get out of all of this if I wanted.

- Lois Rising? - Mm-hmm.

You know, her old man is a political boss

and he could finagle me a swell job, Mary

on the City Medical Board.

There's no telling how far I could go with...

If you were his son-in-law?

Well, some people work for a career

and some people marry one.

Oh, no, it isn't I'll just marry Lois

for a career. Well, she's a swell girl.

She's feminine and soft and I'm crazy about her.

Hmm.

I understand.

Hey, Mary, you've got to go right over to Mrs. Pretz.

She's just phoned in and she's had a panic.

What's the matter?

Sammy's swallowed his old man's watch.

- How does she know? - He's still ticking.

Well, that's one way to hang a wife.

Is she really as pretty as all that?

Picture's don't lie, do they?

No, but some photographers do.

Hey, why don't you put some pictures of your wife around?

Don: I was thinking of that.

Mary: It's a beautiful office.

No more beautiful than yours.

- Don't be funny. - I'm not funny.

Come here, I've got something to show you.

What do you mean?

This way, ladies.

Rent's paid, three months in advance and it's all yours.

- |1-- I don't understand. - It's very simple.

Whither I go thou goest.

Words to that effect.

Don.

- I could kiss you for this. - Uh, uh. Don't forget.

- I'm a married man. - Yeah.

You would remind her of that.

Telephone Dr. Lauren.

After lunch, Miss Logan. Be back about 2:30.

Couple of people to see you.

Will you ask them to wait, please?

Oh, uh, refer this gentleman to Dr. Griffith.

- Oh, sorry. - It's okay.

- Hello, Glenda. - Hi, doc.

How's the compensation racket today?

Never better, how's the baby racket?

Still a favorite indoor sports.

- Is Mary in? - No, she's out on a case.

You know, I haven't seen her in almost a week.

She's too busy for her own good.

Yeah. We work in here, we're not on the city payroll.

Uh-oh, alright, on the button.

Well, see you later, slave.

Dr. Stevens office. No, the doctor isn't here.

Oh, well then Ms. Cal, perhaps you could tell me.

Is it alright for my little boy to have a banana?

- Has he had it? - Yes, yes he has.

Then, it is.

- Morning, captain. - Good morning, Dr. Andrews.

I've been waiting here a half hour to give

the owner of this car a ticket.

I have that no parking sign put there just

to save room for myself.

- Hey, Mary! - Hello, Don.

- Say is this? - Yes, sir, it's all mine.

- A Duesenberg? - Come on, doc.

We're going places.

I just got it this morning. Wanna try it out.

I'd better be back at the office at 2 o'clock.

Forget it, forget it, we'll be back in time.

Hey, can't you read?

Right you are.

Compensation doctor at 6,000 dollars a year

driving an 18,000 dollar car.

Where did you get your money, Don?

Now, that's a swell question to ask the son-in-law

of a big shot politician.

Um-hm... That's what I thought.

Nice day.

- Rising's private star. - No, thanks.

I never thought you'd go in for being crooked.

What's crooked about it?

Simply a matter of overcharging the city a little

on the compensation cases we handle.

If I wasn't doing it somebody else would.

And it might as well be me.

You never used to drink till sun down.

It's a cloudy day.

You know, Don, you've changed over the last six months?

Certainly, I used to walk. Now I drive a Duesenberg.

Where are we going?

To a swell little road house for lunch.

Does anybody in your office know where Dr. Andrews went?

He's operating on a charity case at the clinic in half hour.

Woman 1 on phone: We haven't seen him since early this

morning. Do you know where he went to lunch?

No, he told me he'd be back here at 2:30 sharp.

I wish you'd get in touch with him...

Tell me, how's Lois?

I haven't even seen her in weeks.

Oh, so it's that way with you two, huh?

Yeah, could be worse. I don't know how?

You know that's your fourth drink since lunch?

Oh, a certified public accountant, huh?

Don, you're drinking too much.

It isn't that much.

Mary: Why are your hands shaking?

Don't have to have a steady hand to be

a politician's son-in-law.

No, but you do to be a surgeon.

- Wow. - What?

I almost forgot. I've got to operate in half an hour.

You better phone, have somebody else do it for you.

Ah! Simple laparotomy, I could do it blind folded.

Come on, let's go. Eh, waiter, check.

I wouldn't let you bandage a finger the way you are now.

The drive back to town will straighten me out,

it's a simple laparotomy.

Well anyway, I'm going back to the hospital with you.

Sure, grandma, come on, pull up a chair and learn something.

Thank you.

What?

- Good afternoon, Dr. Stevens. - Everything ready?

Yes, but this is Dr. Andrews case.

I know that I'm assisting him.

And a very able assistance as I.

Steady, isn't 1?

Patient is prepared, Dr. Andrews.

All aboard. Let's go.

I'm assisting him.

Patient's failing, doctor.

- I'm getting dizzy. - I'll take it.

Oxygen?

- Okay? - Okay.

Thanks, Mary. I'm sorry, honest.

I was just feeling a little low that's why

I drank so much I guess.

I suppose you're going to lecture me now.

And you'll listen and like it.

I'll listen, but I won't like it.

Don, you're simply throwing away a career.

- Don't you understand that? - Who wants a career?

The less I do, the more money I make.

I'm not talking about money, I'm talking about you.

Your self-respect, your professional standing.

You are the head of the most important medical

department in this country.

Even if it is run by a lot of dirty politicians.

You are getting somewhere and here you are

tossing it all away. I'm disgusted with you.

Well, I like what I'm doing you, see?

Fed up with that career talk anyway.

What did it get Barnett over at the institute?

Nothing but a swell rep and not enough dough in the bank

to bury him after he'd work himself to death.

You can be famous, for both of us.

But what's going to happen when another

political party takes over the town?

By that time, I'll have half a million tucked away

in my safe deposit vault.

If that's all you want, then I'm getting out.

Well, I'd hope to see you reach the goal we'd

planned for all our lives.

You, a doctor. You, a benefactor to mankind.

I'll tell you what you are. You're a cheap politician.

- I am through. Fed up. - I'm not holding you.

As a matter of fact, I'm getting pretty sick of your preaching.

You're right.

Nothing's guaranteed to break up friendship like giving advice.

I'll never bother you with it again.

Dr. Andrews, I, I thought I might find you here.

Well, hello, Dr. Clark.

I have something to say to you and I hope you won't be offended

because there's certainly no offense intended.

We all realize what a valuable

adjunct you are to the hospital staff.

And we are fully aware of your father-in-law's

power in the city.

But Dr. Andrews, I don't have to tell you

that a hospital's reputation can be ruined by--

By a surgeon who shows up drunk to perform an operation.

Is that what you're trying to say?

Precisely.

Your private life is no affair of mine

but as superintendent of this hospital

it is my duty to warn you that you'll be

forced to resign from the staff if you ever--

It won't happen again.

I sincerely hope not.

Alright, alright, I apologize.

I said I wouldn't do it again.

Alright, Dr. Andrews.

Well, I'm sorry, madam, but you can see Dr. Stevens

only by appointment.

She's in the clinic all morning and is generally

very busy in the afternoon.

Let's see...

At 3:00, next Wednesday?

Well, that'll be fine, thank you.

That's just what I told her

but she wouldn't take no for an answer.

You probably haven't had enough practice saying no.

Let's see, who's next?

Oh, I think you're next Mrs. Logan.

Thank you.

Not so bad for a year and a half.

- Huh? - I'll say not.

You know what, women have babies just so they can tell their

friends they bring them to the famous Dr. Stevens.

Well, that's one reason.

Glenda: Oh, you know about that, huh?

Mrs. Nussbaum, I'm sure that Sanford's nerves

are going to be alright.

Oh, doctor, I hope so.

Only 12 years old and all he does is worry.

- Perhaps, it's the depression. - You think not?

That's all we hear at home? How bad business is!

Papa says, we should give the country back...

- To the Indians. - You see?

Well, you keep right on giving him those phosphates

then maybe the future will look brighter to him.

We'll drop in again next week.

- Goodnight, doctor. - Goodnight.

- Sanford, say goodnight. - What's good about it?

Papa says all the banks are gonna close again.

- You see? Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Don't tell me there's any more of them?

No.

Mrs. Nussbaum closed the show for today, I just locked up.

- I'm ready to drop. - You look it.

Here, read the dirt and relax.

- I'll make you a cup of tea. - Thanks.

Well, I see, the father-in-law Rising's gone up to the capital.

Poor old Don been made chief surgeon

to something to the state.

That ex-boyfriend of yours has been going up too fast.

Let's hope he doesn't come down the same way.

What are you gonna do with that thing when you get all filled?

Oh, I don't know, it's sort of interesting

to watch a person's progress through the newspapers.

I'll still take parcheesi.

How long do you think you're gonna keep this up?

- This? - Oh, I mean this work.

The clinic all morning, office all afternoon

hospital half the night

all day, everyday work, work, work.

Well, you're somebody, nhow you're what you wanted to be.

When are you going to start thinking a number one

for a change?

Guess, that's all I do think about.

Oh, you poor kid, you're all worked out.

- It isn't that. I just-- - I know.

Oh, I've always known.

Listen, some day that nitwit's gonna come to his senses,

you see if he doesn't.

I miss him more than I did a year ago.

I can't stand it much longer, Glenda.

- I think I'll call him up. - You will not.

Oh, gosh, Mary, haven't you got any pride at all?

Not when he's concerned.

So, listen, you're going to shut up

this shop and go away for a rest somewhere.

And you're going to do it right now, before you start

playing with blocks.

Why not tell him I've gone out of town to rest up?

Too much work and all that.

That's as good as anything.

Wish I had never got mixed up in this.

Sure, everybody does when they get caught.

Want me to tell your father-in-law anything?

Well, you tell him where I am that he can count on me.

I'll stay away until he sends one. That's all.

Okay, and don't worry too much.

- Train 127. - It's right here.

Be right there. Wish you were coming with me.

Oh, it'll be a pleasant change if you've

not seen my face for a couple of weeks.

Don't be silly, I'll probably be screaming

for you by tomorrow.

- All up. - I guess that means me.

Now this is a pleasure jaunt. Try and remember that, will you?

- I will darling. Bye-bye. - Bye-bye.

Goodbye.

Bye-bye.

- Am I the only one? - Yes, ma'am.

Business is pretty dull now around these days.

We're expecting one more guest on this train.

- Really? - Yes, ma'am.

Wha... Why Mary?

Don.

You mean to say that you were on this train?

Why haven't I seen you?

Gosh, but I'm glad to see you.

- It's been a long time. - Too long.

- Over a year. - It hasn't been.

- Mm-hmm. - Doesn't seem possible.

Are you down here on business or pleasure?

- Running away from things. - Me too.

Nothing serious, I hope, Dr. Andrews.

Nothing that can't be fixed, Dr. Stevens.

- Sounds like politics. -ltis.

You remember our last ride?

Surely, this doesn't remind you of it.

No, but you do. Oh, Lord, how I've missed you.

- Have you missed me? - I've managed to survive.

- You really haven't missed me? - I've been busy.

Oh, what a grand time we're going to have together.

How long are you staying?

- Couple of weeks. - Oh, that's great.

- Happy? - Mm-hmm.

- Let's go outside. - Alright.

Look at you.

You know, you're beautiful.

Thank you, sir.

Somehow I just can't quite figure it out.

- What? - You.

You're beautiful.

You seem so surprised.

Something's happened.

- You've changed. - Sure, it isn't the moonlight?

- Mnm-mnm. - The ground?

It's you.

- I haven't changed. - Then, I must have.

Let's cut golf tomorrow.

We'll drive over to the pines, what do you say?

- Why not? - I'm leaving in the morning.

- Oh, you're joking. - No, I'm not.

- But why? You said you were-- - Don...

I'm not going to lie to you any longer.

I'm in love with you. I always have been.

No, no, no, wait.

You know, why I'm here?

I couldn't stand not seeing you any longer, so, I ran away.

- Oh, Mary dear. - It's all so hopeless.

Oh, but it's not.

- Forgotten you're married? - That's all over.

Lois and I don't care for each other. We both know it.

You're married just the same.

I'm afraid that's that.

Darling, I love you.

I guess I've just found it out.

Now, that I have, I simply couldn't live without you.

No... no, you belong to Lois.

And I'm getting out before we do something

both of us will regret.

Hello, long distance?

I want to talk to Dr. Mary Stevens,

Green Briar Hotel, White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.

The early edition of The Times, eh?

Yes, the grand jury return an indictment

against Don tonight. They've issued a warrant for his arrest.

Alright, Glenda.

Thanks for letting me know.

Mary: Don?

Shut that door. Lock it.

Well, I thought you were going back to--

I got a telephone call from New York.

Oh, I, I thought perhaps you hadn't heard about it.

A secret investigation's been on a month now.

Rising was positive he could fix it.

Things were so hot, I had to get out of town.

- That's why I'm here. - Now what?

There's still a slim chance of Rising

squashing the indictment.

And if he can't?

Looks like I'll go out of circulation

for about five years.

Mary: Dearest.

Is there anything in the world that I can do for you?

There is. Stay here with me.

It's tough being alone now.

Want me to go?

No, I will.

A telegram for Dr. Andrews.

Thank you.

Well?

Darling, what is it?

Why, I'm so happy.

Sweet.

Now it's all easy, everything we said last night,

marriage, everything we hoped for.

I'll resign my appointment, get a divorce. I'll be free.

And darling, I'll never be free again as long as I live.

Right.

You start taking orders now.

Come on, we're going back to town.

- This is no time to quit. - This is good a time as any.

Only yesterday, we were lucky enough

to squash an indictment against you

and I ain't gonna let you quit now.

You wanna tell the world that you're guilty, scared.

You want to put the party in a jam all over again?

No, no, my boy.

You ain't gonna walk out on us for a while.

Don: How long before you'll accept my resignation?

Well, if you still feel the same way about it

in a couple of months when things are blown over

we might listen to you.

Suppose, I defy you?

Go right out and publicly resign today?

The minute you do that you'll make your debut in Sing Sing.

Don: A threat, huh? - No, a promise.

And I'll give it to you in writing.

Smoke?

Well, here's one thing you can't stop

I'm going to get a divorce.

Well, that's between you and Lois.

And I'm not trying to interfere with your home life.

Not interested in your private affairs.

Then we'll take up that other matter in a couple months?

Sure.

- Oh, uh, drink? - No, thanks.

Man on phone: Yes?

Get my daughter down here right away.

And, darling, it's all arranged, Lois wants to be free too.

She's going to Reno right away.

In a few weeks, it'll all be over.

Don, we're so lucky it scares me.

I'm not scared, just happy because I know we're going

to be together from now on.

- MNnm-mnm. - Huh?

- No, we're not, dear. - What do you mean?

We're not going to see each other again

until you're free.

Oh, Mary--

When we have the right to be together.

- Now, Don, listen. - But, Mary dear...

Dearest, now wait, please.

We have a whole life time of happiness at stake

why jeopardize it all just for a four or five weeks?

I keep telling you Lois doesn't care what I do.

There's no use arguing, my mind's made up.

When everything's arranged you call me.

I'll be waiting.

Where shall we go on our honeymoon?

White Sulphur Springs Greenbrier Hotel.

Suite 614.

But I want a divorce more than he does.

Don and I have discussed it quite calmly and we've decided

that we just don't pull together in double harness.

I'll go to Reno for a month

and it's all over.

All over is right.

All over every front page in town.

Played up from the political angle,

a rehash with a medical bureau scandal with me up there

for them to throw mud at again.

Oh, dad, be reasonable.

Don's in love with somebody else

and so am |I.

It ain't a bit important.

From now on, Don, you and Yours Truly

have got to keep out of the newspapers.

Now you get this straight.

I ain't arguing with you.

I'm telling you, there won't be no divorce.

But how can I hold a man who wants to divorce me?

Oh, you can find a way.

- For instance? -I don't know.

That's your department. But no divorce.

Alright, darling, dinner at 7:00.

Steak and baked potatoes.

It shall be done oh, lord and master.

See you then.

Goodbye, darling.

Gee, that's the first time the boyfriend's come up

for air in a long time.

Six weeks, 42 days over thousand hours

and I've counted every one of them.

Like a little inside information?

I'd rub it in my hair.

Well, remember I'd told you

Don and I agreed not to see

each other until he was free.

He wasn't even to phone me.

Yes, go on.

He's coming to dinner tonight.

So, my dear Watson, we deduce

that he's lost his ball and chain.

Something like that.

He wouldn't tell me over the phone but...

I think it's all set for us to be married.

Oh, gee, Mary, that's swell.

Now take a good grip on that desk

plant your feet firmly

and prepare for the shock of your life.

- What? - I'm going to have a baby.

Would you mind saying that again slowly?

With pleasure, I said I'm going to have a baby.

I guess I better sit down before I fall down.

What's so funny about it?

I didn't invent the idea.

Women have been having babies for a long while.

Yeah, yeah, I know but I...

Well, I just never suspected you.

I don't know whether that's a sincere compliment

or dirty dig.

Does, does anybody else know?

Not a soul. Just we two.

- And you're happy about it? - Walking on air.

- Well then, darling, so am I. - Thanks, Glenda.

As long as everything's all settled

why don't you tell Don?

- Of course, it is-- - Of course, you goose.

He gets the good news tonight.

Yeah, if he thinks it's good news.

- Dinner was delicious, Alice. - Glad you enjoyed it.

But Dr. Andrews didn't eat very much.

- Oh, it was fine, Alice. - Thank you.

Excuse me, mister, could you give a fellow a light?

Oh, I'm sorry.

What's the matter with you tonight, Don?

I guess I'm a skeleton at the feast.

Darling, I've got to tell you I'm in Dutch.

Tried to resign again and father-in-law said no?

I'd wish that was all. It's really serious.

I dropped in this afternoon to see Lois to find out

why she hadn't gone to Reno?

I was wondering about that.

- Why hasn't she gone? - She isn't going.

She isn't going?

Lois is... Is going to have a baby.

Naturally, she doesn't want to divorce me now.

I can understand her attitude perfectly.

So can I.

It's rotten luck.

But all that means for us is a postponement.

Instead of getting married right away, we do it next year.

After the baby's a couple of months old

I know Lois will give me a divorce.

You and I love each other.

Always will, we're young.

What difference can a year or so make?

A year or so?

No difference at all.

Mary?

You're still a champion.

Just a little girl that'll always understand.

You maybe kidding, but I'm not.

That's what you've always been.

And that's one of the million reasons why I love you.

Now that I've told you the bad news

what was the good news you had for me?

- What? - Don't you remember?

You told me before dinner you had some good news for me.

Oh, I've forgotten.

It didn't amount to much anyway.

Oh, but, darling, there'll be a terrible scandal.

Eminent baby specialist goes abroad

and returns with offspring without benefit of clergy.

What scandal?

I have my baby adopted over there

and simply return with an adopted child.

Oh, you've got me talking to myself.

Listen, Glenda.

Yesterday, a youngster came in here

begging me to help her.

I advised her to be a good sport

and go through with the thing.

Now, I'm gonna live up to my own advice.

Alright, girl scout, but what about your practice here

while we're touring Europe?

It's all arranged for, Dr. Berton will hold down

the fort while we are away.

Uh-huh, and what excuse to the cash customers for leaving?

Well, I'm tired,

overworked, need a vacation. Maybe I'm ill.

Uh, well I'm glad, what ails you isn't catching.

Send this radiogram for me, will you please?

- Yes, ma'am. - Thank you.

Hurry up, doc.

Speed, speed. We're ahead of schedule.

Alright, alright. Step on it.

I'll give you my phone number later.

Look at the smile.

Look at this smile. Oh, you like it.

You like it, do we, Don?

Come on now, I think we got enough.

Don't you think we want some more?

You want some more?

Now, you little young man,

you gotta go right to sleep.

Goodnight, darling.

Trans Atlantic operator 14 speaking.

New York calling Paris.

Elizi 7-5-7-8.

Hello!

Yes.

Oh, oh. Wait just a second.

- Hey, Mary. Mary: Yes.

Don's phoning from New York.

Mary: What?

Here, take the baby.

Sweetness.

- Hello! - Hello! Hello, Ms. Stevens?

One moment please.

New York is calling you.

Hello, New York?

Your party is on the line.

Go ahead, Dr. Andrews. You have your party.

Hello!

Hello, darling!

Gee, it's wonderful to hear your voice.

Fine.

- How are you? - Never better.

I wrote you Thursday.

You should have it by tomorrow.

Well, listen sweetheart.

I couldn't wait to cable.

No, I-- I had to call you.

You remember I wrote you that Lois insisted

on going to California

to have the baby there?

Well, this morning she barges back into town

after having been gone seven months.

No baby, nothing.

I don't get it. What did you do?

What? Go on.

I simply can't believe it.

What happened? Give me the dirt.

The whole thing was a trick to keep me

from getting a divorce.

She wasn't going to have a baby any more than you were.

No more than I was, huh?

That's very interesting.

Well, damn that stop her from going to Reno, will it?

If you don't tell me what happened

I'm gonna start frothing at the mouth.

That's right. She-- she wouldn't dare stall again.

You bet she won't this time.

Darling, you know it only takes six weeks

to get a divorce in Nevada.

Why don't you hop on a boat and come home?

Oh, why not?

I'm crazy to see you.

Well, Don, it's just tough on me as it is on you

but...I just can't.

Another three or four months.

I-- I got some very important business

to take care of over here.

Has she had her baby yet? Is it a boy or a girl?

That'll give the time with the divorce and...

Don't be silly.

Of course, I love you.

Mmm-hm. More than ever.

See, I thought he wasn't going to divorce until she--

Quiet!

Oh, great big smile for momma.

Yes!

Come here, oh, what a great big baby

you're going to be.

Yes, there.

Now it's almost all over, come on.

Wait a second. Wait a second, there, darling.

Yeah, now we got ourselves all dressed up.

And you take mother for a big long walk.

Hm? Come on.

Courage, Donald, my boy.

If these guys listened to reason

you'll soon belong to your own mother.

- Is he alright? - Sure.

But what's taking you so long? You must be settling the debt.

Oh, they'll come to some decision in a moment.

Well, they better. I've only got one left.

Goodbye, darling.

Oh, my!

Madame, I have the pleasure to inform you

that we all agree.

Your request to adopt the child legally

has been granted.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you very much.

Don sends his best to you.

Ah, thanks. Good connection?

He might've been in the next room.

Well, what is it? What's up?

Everything is all set.

- You're an optimist. - Why not?

They accepted his resignation

from the medical department last week.

- Well? - Well.

What about the wife?

Final divorce papers came through yesterday.

Can you imagine her telling him

she was going to have a baby just to keep him hooked?

I have a feeling Rising was behind that.

Oh.

Oh, your father's gonna be so proud of you.

Glenda: Say, did you tell him about him?

I was afraid the shock will be too much for him.

Glenda: I can just see his face when the three of us

stroll down the gangplank.

This is what you might call a wedding present

in a big way.

Yes?

Uh, Dr. Stevens.

There's a little girl down the steerage, pretty sick.

I'd like to have you come down, look at her.

- What is it? - Well frankly, I'm puzzled.

That's why I would like to have you see her.

- Of course. - Thank you.

Goodbye. Goodbye, sweetness.

Don't forget his oat meal at 10:00.

How can 1?7 I get hungry around 10:00 myself.

I'll be right back.

Bye, darling.

Yeah, come on. Give a good chew and get those teeth work.

She's just got a bit of stomach upset

and a cold, that's it, ain't it, doctor?

Abby's always been such a strapping, healthy youngster.

I'm sure, she'd come--

There, there, there, now. Don't you worry.

We'll be back in a moment.

Come along, doctor.

- Meningitis, eh? - No.

Infantile paralysis.

And pretty well advanced, I'm positive.

Of course, you haven't any convalescent serum aboard?

- No. - It's our only chance.

They might be able to fly some to us in a plane.

If they can't, within about 24 hours that child is...

I'll see the captain.

Get her to the hospital. Isolate her.

I'll be with you as soon as I can.

Cathy.

It ain't serious is it, doctor?

No, now everything is going to be alright.

Oh, shame on you.

Opening the ladies' purse.

Oh, dear, Didi.

Uh-huh. Now, you mustn't be naughty.

Your poor sister being so sick.

Here, come on.

Doctor, what you ask is impossible.

But by tomorrow we'll be firing up

west so that a plane from New York

might have a chance of reaching us.

I suppose, we'll just have to wait then.

We'll do everything humanly possible

to get you that serum

with the minimum delay.

Thank you, captain.

They took my baby away from me.

Oh, they're doing the best they can. I know.

Here, here.

Whose is this?

It belongs to lady doctor.

I'll have it sent up to her.

Why are you so quiet, lovey?

Ma, I feel funny.

My neck hurts back here.

And sick in my stomach.

Oh! Oh, my heavens, that's how lvy started.

Oh, help! Help! Help! Come here!

- There you are. - Get that off right away.

Yes, sir. What is the address for Colosial Laboratories?

Oh, um, oh, yes. It's in my bag. Just a moment now.

Now, where did I...

I must've left it in my cabin.

- May I use your phone? - Surely.

Doctor Stevens?

Yes.

Oh!

Hey, you sit down here for a minute.

And don't you roll off.

- Hello. - Hello, Glenda.

I've been exposed to infantile

so, I can't return to the cabin.

No, no, dear. Don't worry about me. I'm alright.

You'll take care of Donald, won't you?

That's fine.

Now, in my little black book

you'll find the address of a Colosial Laboratories.

Give it to me, will you?

It's-- it's in my purse. On the desk, I think.

Oh, wait a minute.

Oh, you've got it.

Yeah, here it is.

Colosial Laboratories,

1754, Prospect avenue.

Brooklyn. Not New York now, Brooklyn.

Okay.

Don't worry about the baby.

I'll do everything you can do for him.

Even spoil him.

Alright, good luck.

Here, here, here, here, here.

Oh, you naughty boy.

Do you wanna swallow that pen

and get ink all over your panties?

Shame on you.

Aw! Who's our sweet baby?

There you are, darling.

Better take Jane's pulse.

Ah, up, here.

Now I think you'll be able to sleep after a little while.

Close your eyes.

That's a good girl.

- Well? - Oh, if we just had that serum.

We're still helpless without it.

- I'm sure by tomorrow-- - Tomorrow maybe too late.

I need it now.

Glenda, you shouldn't have come here.

Well, I had to.

Mary, it-- it probably doesn't amount to a thing but--

What is it? Don?

He's running a little fever.

When did you take his temperature?

Few minutes ago, 103.

- Oh, but, Mary, I'm sure-- - That is a bad change.

I'm going to be right there.

- Good luck. - So long.

Don't you think you better try and sleep for an hour or two?

I'll call you if there is any change.

Oh, no. I couldn't.

Let me see the chart of the other two.

Start giving Jane ice packs again.

Dr. Stevens?

Will you talk to Mr. and Mrs. Simmons?

They're begging to see you.

Alright.

I'll talk to them.

Oh, baby, does it hurt?

How are they, doctor?

Doing nicely. Especially lvy.

What about Jane?

They're both going to be fine.

We expect the serum anytime now.

Nothing in sight yet, sir.

Radio our position again.

Aye, aye, sir.

- Dr. Lane? -Yes?

Call Dr. Stevens.

It's Don.

It's the plane, sir.

Paralysis reached the lungs.

Get the oxygen tank, quick.

Oh, dear God.

Don't let him die.

Ah!

Stand by, half speed ahead.

Put that, Glenda.

Start it, doctor.

Faster, faster.

He is dying. I know it.

I can't do anything to help him.

- Here's the serum, doctor. - Thank you.

Glenda: Oh, no!

No!

Oh, no!

Don.

Don, sweetness.

Look at me.

Look at me!

My...

My own baby.

And I couldn't save him.

Oh.

Give the serum

to the other children.

My baby won't need it.

Just a moment.

- Have you a pass? - Yes, here.

- Oh, you're Dr. Andrews. - Certainly.

Doctor had left word for you to go right to the hospital

when you came aboard.

- To the hospital? Why? - Ms. Carroll left word.

- That's all I know. Steward! Man 1: Yes, sir.

Take this gentleman to the hospital.

- Your pass, doctor. - Right this way, sir.

Don!

Don, something awfully tough's happened, I...

I hardly know how to tell you.

Hurry up. What is it?

Well, a couple of kids in this steerage

developed infantile paralysis and--

And Mary?

No, not Mary.

The baby.

- What baby? - Her baby and yours.

- Mine? - Caught it.

- He died a couple of days ago. - Her baby and--

Oh, Don, we went abroad because Mary was...

Well, because she was going to have a baby.

- After Don was born-- - Why didn't she tell me?

And all this time why didn't she tell me?

Oh, what good would that have done?

You were married, no chance for a divorce

for at least a year, you said.

- Oh, my! - He was a beautiful baby.

Oh, Don, you'd have loved him.

He died two days ago?

- Poor Mary. - Yes.

Poor Mary...

Ms. Carroll, the ambulance is here.

Alright, this way.

Okay, thanks.

- Hello, doctor. - Hello, Gus.

Uh, doctor?

How is Dr. Stevens?

She is a little better, thanks.

She is such a nice lady.

I hope she is well soon.

So do I. Thanks, Gus.

Hello, Carl.

Say hello to the doctor.

Hello.

- Hello, Glenda. - Hi, Don.

What's doing?

The same. Only more so.

- Did she sleep at all? - Not a wink.

Never shut her eyes all night.

Pacing back and forth, back and forth.

She must've worn a groove in that carpet.

I told you to give her one of those 10 grain sleeping tablets.

How am I gonna get it down her? Hold her nose and shove?

She simply refuses to do anything to help herself.

And what's more? She's not eating. No dinner last night.

Cup of black coffee and three cigarettes for breakfast.

Well, you try to get some sleep, Glenda.

I'll stay with her for a while.

Oh, boy, am I weary?

I could sleep from now to the last Thursday of November.

Hey, listen.

When you go, take her bag along with you.

Why?

She's got a lot of poisons

sharp instruments and things in there

and I can't watch her every minute.

- Don't be silly. - I'm not silly.

It's a million to one shot, but let's play safe.

Alright. I'll take it with me.

Honey, here's Don.

Mary.

Leave me alone.

I don't wanna see anybody.

Come on over here and sit down.

Oh, please go away.

- I told you. - No, no, please, please, dear.

Now, you're going to take this

and get some sleep.

Here.

No use arguing, Mary.

You're going to do exactly as I say. Here.

Glenda should've made you do this last night.

Mary, listen.

There's a limit to everything.

We can stand only so much.

You know that as well as I.

What possible good can it do for you to go on this way?

Oh, but if you'd only seen him.

If you'd-- if you'd ever held him in your arms.

Then perhaps you'd understand why.

Darling, darling, you simply got to control yourself.

My life stopped when my baby died.

That's absurd.

Mary, you have a definite duty to perform.

Your work is important.

Hundreds, thousands of children need

your skill, your knowledge.

Forget yourself. Think of them.

My skill.

My knowledge.

A lot of good they did me.

I couldn't save my own baby.

I stood there watching him die

right before my very eyes.

No doctor's infallible.

What good was all my experience?

What good was everything I did for other people?

I'll never practice again.

Darling, I need you.

Be sensible.

Forget me.

Sleepy?

Please go away.

- Where's the doctor? - Hey, what's the big idea?

I want the doctor. Where is the doctor?

- The doctor's in there. - Oh, my...

Gus: Doctor?

Doctor?

Carl, my baby, he swallowed a safety pin.

Please come. He is choking to death.

Come, quick. You got to.

I'm ill. I'm not practicing any more.

But you're a baby doctor.

My little boy, he's dying.

Don't you hear what I say, he is dying.

I can't do anything about it, I tell you. Call another doctor.

But by the time another doctor arrives, it will be too late.

You gotta, please come.

He is turning blue. He can't breathe.

Mary, you can't back out now.

You'll hate yourself all the rest of your life.

This is your chance to come back.

- Where is he? - Downstairs, my flat. Come on.

Get my kit.

- It's at the office. - The office?

We gotta do without it, come on.

Hold his head down there, will you?

Give me a mirror.

Get me a spoon.

Hold it there.

Quickly.

This side, Glenda.

Doctor, save him. I'll do anything.

Pay you anything. Save him.

Turn on that lamp. Bring it closer.

I can see it.

Carl: Mom.

I just need something to work with.

Woman 1: Oh, God! My baby. - Something to reach it.

Here we are.

I got it!

And you said, you couldn't do it.

I was just wondering.

They say medicine's a man's game.

I wonder what a man would have done in a case like this?

Sanford's nerves are in terrible shape again.

He thinks the country is going off the gold standard

and he is worried to death.

You think not. Tell and Tell dropped five points today.

You see?

The doctor will fix Sanford up.

She'll have him happy and smiling

even if we have cigar coupons for money.

Just a second, Dr. Stevens is, uh,

working on a man.

Oh, yeah?
