3
00:00:19,252 --> 00:00:21,454
You know Michael and I
are on an eternal quest

4
00:00:21,454 --> 00:00:23,023
for many perfect things.

5
00:00:23,323 --> 00:00:26,092
One of them is perfect
corned beef hash in a diner.

6
00:00:26,092 --> 00:00:29,429
We have found something about
as close to perfect

7
00:00:29,429 --> 00:00:30,997
as I've eaten
in the last ten years,

8
00:00:30,997 --> 00:00:32,866
not far from our house in
Grafton, Connecticut

9
00:00:32,866 --> 00:00:33,800
at the Laurel Diner.

10
00:00:34,467 --> 00:00:36,436
I think there's something
to be said about Zen

11
00:00:36,436 --> 00:00:38,204
and the art of
the perfect corned beef hash.

12
00:00:38,204 --> 00:00:40,640
Oh, there's a lot to be said.

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,642
Because so many
gourmet-style restaurants

14
00:00:42,642 --> 00:00:44,310
screw up corned beef hash
by adding

15
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:45,779
the most god-awful
ingredients.

16
00:00:46,012 --> 00:00:49,215
The Laurel Diner serves
the classic workman-style

17
00:00:49,215 --> 00:00:51,217
corned beef hash
made from scratch.

18
00:00:51,217 --> 00:00:53,920
And it's fantastic.
In fact...

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,090
That's us,
Jane and Michael Stern.

20
00:00:57,490 --> 00:01:00,126
You may know us from
the magazine column we write

21
00:01:00,126 --> 00:01:01,895
or from the books
we've written together--

22
00:01:02,162 --> 00:01:07,133
35 and counting-- or from
our radio show, or from TV.

23
00:01:08,034 --> 00:01:10,603
Everywhere we went,
people would always say,

24
00:01:10,603 --> 00:01:13,173
"God, I wish I had your life.

25
00:01:13,173 --> 00:01:16,910
"You got a great job,
a great-looking husband.

26
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:18,478
"You get to eat what you want.

27
00:01:18,678 --> 00:01:22,115
"You get to travel
to all these fabulous places.

28
00:01:22,115 --> 00:01:24,050
You've got the perfect life."

29
00:01:24,050 --> 00:01:25,018
And I did.

30
00:01:25,718 --> 00:01:27,654
Would you like
to sign the book?
I would love to.

31
00:01:27,654 --> 00:01:30,223
Kind of... but not exactly.

32
00:01:30,223 --> 00:01:32,725
And I let you in
because, well,

33
00:01:32,725 --> 00:01:36,062
housewives can get
awfully bored sometimes.

34
00:01:36,396 --> 00:01:37,864
You're too smooth, honey.

35
00:01:37,864 --> 00:01:39,365
You're much too smooth.

36
00:01:39,365 --> 00:01:41,000
Of all the primates...

37
00:01:41,401 --> 00:01:43,069
Jane?

38
00:01:45,171 --> 00:01:46,539
Jane!

39
00:01:46,539 --> 00:01:48,575
...wide variety of habitats...

40
00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:52,512
The fact was that I was having

41
00:01:52,512 --> 00:01:56,316
a sort of midlife event.

42
00:01:56,316 --> 00:01:58,418
That was the producer
in Minneapolis on the phone.

43
00:01:58,418 --> 00:02:00,453
We fly out there
on the 10th,

44
00:02:00,453 --> 00:02:01,754
in case you're interested.

45
00:02:02,188 --> 00:02:03,223
And the flames quickly spread,

46
00:02:03,656 --> 00:02:05,859
burning the entire house
to the ground.

47
00:02:06,526 --> 00:02:08,695
You know, the station's
arranged a bus trip

48
00:02:08,695 --> 00:02:11,297
for us with listeners
to a little restaurant

49
00:02:11,297 --> 00:02:12,832
that's about three hours
into the country.

50
00:02:13,666 --> 00:02:16,302
So, uh, what have
you been doing?

51
00:02:16,769 --> 00:02:18,204
Watching TV.

52
00:02:18,204 --> 00:02:19,672
Oh, Jane!

53
00:02:20,006 --> 00:02:22,475
Don't go away,
we'll be taking your calls

54
00:02:22,475 --> 00:02:25,612
as our canine fashion show
continues.

55
00:02:25,612 --> 00:02:28,114
Hm.

56
00:02:28,114 --> 00:02:30,483
Well, I'm going to the barn.

57
00:02:30,483 --> 00:02:33,419
Michael had been sober
for a little over a year,

58
00:02:33,419 --> 00:02:34,621
and now he had started spending

59
00:02:34,888 --> 00:02:36,923
more and more time
at AA meetings

60
00:02:36,923 --> 00:02:39,993
or out at High Lonesome Stables
with his horse.

61
00:02:39,993 --> 00:02:41,995
I didn't have to take
care of him anymore,

62
00:02:41,995 --> 00:02:43,096
not the way I had.

63
00:02:43,496 --> 00:02:46,232
After you ride, are you
coming straight home?

64
00:02:46,232 --> 00:02:48,368
I think.

65
00:02:48,368 --> 00:02:49,569
Kirby, come.

66
00:02:50,003 --> 00:02:51,471
Well, be careful.

67
00:02:51,471 --> 00:02:53,907
If K.T. starts
acting spooked...

68
00:02:53,907 --> 00:02:57,110
Jane, I'll be okay.

69
00:03:02,882 --> 00:03:04,784
Easy! Whoa! Whoa!

70
00:03:05,852 --> 00:03:08,688
Michael, wear a helmet!

71
00:03:11,391 --> 00:03:14,060
What's that Jane girl
up to today?

72
00:03:14,460 --> 00:03:17,330
Sitting in front of the TV
in her bathrobe.

73
00:03:17,931 --> 00:03:18,898
She sick?

74
00:03:18,898 --> 00:03:19,933
Not exactly.

75
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,569
More like impossible
to be around right now.

76
00:03:23,536 --> 00:03:27,774
You know, there's--
there's a saying in AA, Pete.

77
00:03:28,808 --> 00:03:31,511
Spouses get better
much slower than we do.

78
00:03:36,683 --> 00:03:38,484
I knew Michael
had reached a point

79
00:03:38,751 --> 00:03:41,454
where he was frustrated
with me and my phobias.

80
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:44,524
I've always had fears about
just about everything.

81
00:03:44,524 --> 00:03:45,358
You name it.

82
00:03:46,092 --> 00:03:49,095
Now, fear was taking
hold of my life

83
00:03:49,095 --> 00:03:51,764
and I just couldn't
do anything about it.

84
00:03:58,905 --> 00:03:59,739
Jane?

85
00:03:59,973 --> 00:04:00,840
Oh!
Hi!

86
00:04:01,574 --> 00:04:04,911
I haven't seen you in a while.
What have you been up to?

87
00:04:04,911 --> 00:04:08,414
Oh, work. Working.
Some new projects.

88
00:04:08,414 --> 00:04:09,749
Have you seen
the display?

89
00:04:10,350 --> 00:04:11,851
Well, make sure you do.

90
00:04:18,358 --> 00:04:19,859
Ha-ha!

91
00:04:19,859 --> 00:04:21,594
Working?

92
00:04:21,594 --> 00:04:24,030
You're working on trying to get
out of bed in the mornings.

93
00:04:24,030 --> 00:04:25,632
Why don't you tell her that?

94
00:04:31,871 --> 00:04:33,606
Can I get a picture, please?

95
00:04:35,208 --> 00:04:37,010
Welcome to Minneapolis!

96
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:39,679
Bye!
We're really glad to be here!

97
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:40,647
Michael, I can't do this.

98
00:04:41,047 --> 00:04:43,349
Jane, Jane.
The idea of being trapped

99
00:04:43,583 --> 00:04:45,551
with a group of strangers
for three hours

100
00:04:45,551 --> 00:04:47,387
on a bus going
who knows where

101
00:04:47,387 --> 00:04:48,187
driven by somebody
I don't even know.

102
00:04:48,688 --> 00:04:49,656
Hi.
I mean, does he look like

103
00:04:50,189 --> 00:04:51,591
the kind of bus driver
that would stop the bus

104
00:04:51,591 --> 00:04:52,292
if I asked him to?
Jane.

105
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:55,561
These people paid 100 bucks
apiece to meet us.

106
00:04:55,962 --> 00:04:57,930
You think they'd
let me drive the bus?

107
00:04:57,930 --> 00:04:58,765
No.

108
00:05:01,968 --> 00:05:03,703
You?
No.

109
00:05:04,804 --> 00:05:07,407
Jane, you said you might
wanna ride in the car with me.

110
00:05:07,407 --> 00:05:09,375
Yes!

111
00:05:09,375 --> 00:05:10,376
It'll be okay.

112
00:05:11,277 --> 00:05:13,913
I'll talk to all the listeners
when we get to the restaurant.

113
00:05:18,451 --> 00:05:19,686
Let's go.

114
00:05:20,753 --> 00:05:22,622
This is the final boarding call

115
00:05:22,622 --> 00:05:24,057
for Flight 387...

116
00:05:24,057 --> 00:05:25,692
They loved the food.

117
00:05:27,293 --> 00:05:28,594
Excuse me.

118
00:05:30,963 --> 00:05:33,366
They loved the tote bags.

119
00:05:35,468 --> 00:05:37,170
I don't know why
we couldn't have eaten

120
00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:38,871
someplace in Minneapolis.

121
00:05:38,871 --> 00:05:40,640
They live in Minneapolis.

122
00:05:40,940 --> 00:05:43,276
Well, there are plenty of
great restaurants in town

123
00:05:43,276 --> 00:05:44,877
we wouldn't have
to take a bus to.

124
00:05:44,877 --> 00:05:46,446
Well, the point
for them was to go

125
00:05:46,446 --> 00:05:48,414
on an adventure
somewhere new.

126
00:05:48,748 --> 00:05:50,616
I think that's stupid.

127
00:05:54,420 --> 00:05:57,390
Some days I'd be
so down in the dumps,

128
00:05:57,390 --> 00:05:59,392
I could barely leave the house.

129
00:06:01,361 --> 00:06:04,230
Michael told me about
the sign that was always up

130
00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:08,167
at his AA meetings--
"You are not alone."

131
00:06:08,167 --> 00:06:10,236
But I was.

132
00:06:16,042 --> 00:06:19,579
Being a writer was not like
having a job-job.

133
00:06:19,579 --> 00:06:22,148
It's a weird,
unstructured life.

134
00:06:22,148 --> 00:06:26,419
Stretches of time went by now
when I saw no one but Michael.

135
00:06:26,686 --> 00:06:29,222
It was hard to find the energy
to get dressed.

136
00:06:29,222 --> 00:06:33,092
Why get dressed?
There was no pressing need to.

137
00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:35,995
No pun intended.

138
00:06:43,269 --> 00:06:44,904
Oh.

139
00:06:44,904 --> 00:06:46,272
Oh, oh.

140
00:06:46,272 --> 00:06:48,174
Jane?

141
00:06:48,608 --> 00:06:49,942
Jane, what's the matter?

142
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:56,949
No... I'm okay.

143
00:07:08,895 --> 00:07:10,496
Okay.

144
00:07:11,964 --> 00:07:14,600
Oh, oh, oh!

145
00:07:29,315 --> 00:07:31,184
I don't know what's with me.

146
00:07:31,984 --> 00:07:33,519
I got all panicky
and couldn't do it,

147
00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:34,353
I couldn't ride.

148
00:07:34,987 --> 00:07:36,722
So, you got off
and you walked.

149
00:07:36,722 --> 00:07:37,757
It's no big deal.

150
00:07:38,057 --> 00:07:40,426
Pete, you know me,
I love to ride.

151
00:07:40,426 --> 00:07:42,628
I've ridden since
I was a little girl.

152
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:50,470
Michael's changed.

153
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:53,206
Every day, he gets up,
works two hours,

154
00:07:53,206 --> 00:07:54,207
goes to his meeting at 7:00.

155
00:07:54,540 --> 00:07:56,309
Some days he goes
to three meetings.

156
00:07:57,343 --> 00:08:01,080
And then he comes out here,
just to get away from me.

157
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:01,747
I know it.

158
00:08:02,348 --> 00:08:05,451
Oh... I don't think
that that's the case.

159
00:08:05,451 --> 00:08:07,787
Has he said anything to you?

160
00:08:10,723 --> 00:08:12,425
No, I guess he wouldn't.

161
00:08:12,825 --> 00:08:14,760
Michael's still Michael.

162
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,762
Look, if you want,
I'll go out there with you

163
00:08:16,762 --> 00:08:18,030
on the trail next time.

164
00:08:18,264 --> 00:08:21,634
I'll walk ahead of you
and Piegan, I'll lead you.

165
00:08:22,235 --> 00:08:23,503
You would, wouldn't you?

166
00:08:24,136 --> 00:08:26,539
Well, I said I would.

167
00:08:38,551 --> 00:08:41,387
I'm just thrilled to be
working with you guys.

168
00:08:41,387 --> 00:08:42,488
Us too.

169
00:08:43,055 --> 00:08:45,258
You know, we really like
the region by region idea

170
00:08:45,258 --> 00:08:46,058
for the new edition.

171
00:08:46,592 --> 00:08:48,294
Aren't you in Chicago
next week?

172
00:08:48,294 --> 00:08:49,729
Uh, yeah, we're gonna try
that new steak place

173
00:08:49,729 --> 00:08:50,530
that you mentioned.

174
00:08:51,163 --> 00:08:53,833
You will love it!
Oh, you'll love it.

175
00:08:53,833 --> 00:08:54,834
Anyway, the book.

176
00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:56,836
Yeah, it just seems
to make more sense

177
00:08:56,836 --> 00:08:57,870
to break it down that way

178
00:08:58,204 --> 00:09:00,172
in case somebody's
using it on a road trip,

179
00:09:00,172 --> 00:09:01,841
you know, instead of
state by state.

180
00:09:01,841 --> 00:09:03,809
Mm, this meatloaf rocks.

181
00:09:04,644 --> 00:09:06,112
So, how do you guys work?

182
00:09:06,379 --> 00:09:09,715
Well, in the old days
we'd sit down together.

183
00:09:09,715 --> 00:09:11,884
Mm, in the old days,
we did everything together.

184
00:09:11,884 --> 00:09:13,853
But now, I pretty much
do a draft,

185
00:09:13,853 --> 00:09:15,855
and then Jane takes it
and she does a draft,

186
00:09:15,855 --> 00:09:18,891
and then we--
we look at it together.

187
00:09:19,158 --> 00:09:20,893
Mm.

188
00:09:20,893 --> 00:09:22,595
Because we'd like to have
this for our spring list.

189
00:09:22,595 --> 00:09:23,663
Shouldn't be a problem.

190
00:09:23,663 --> 00:09:24,297
Shouldn't be.

191
00:09:29,669 --> 00:09:31,337
Michael, where are you going?

192
00:09:31,337 --> 00:09:32,872
I'm just gonna get
something to drink.

193
00:09:32,872 --> 00:09:33,839
Jane, please.

194
00:09:34,106 --> 00:09:36,375
Please what?
You just...

195
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:38,077
You're so needy.

196
00:09:38,077 --> 00:09:38,978
I am not!

197
00:09:39,412 --> 00:09:41,714
You know, you've become
this anxiety-riddled recluse

198
00:09:42,114 --> 00:09:43,883
because you don't have anybody
to micromanage anymore.

199
00:09:43,883 --> 00:09:45,451
Okay, let's just...

200
00:09:45,651 --> 00:09:46,719
Can you get me
a Danish or something?

201
00:09:47,119 --> 00:09:48,654
You know, you've micromanaged
me all these years,

202
00:09:48,854 --> 00:09:50,056
you wanna know the truth.
Would you stop it

203
00:09:50,323 --> 00:09:51,991
with that word?
I hate those words,

204
00:09:51,991 --> 00:09:53,993
it's like "empower"
or "proactive".

205
00:09:53,993 --> 00:09:56,529
Jane, it sucks
being the center

206
00:09:56,529 --> 00:09:58,064
of somebody else's life.

207
00:10:00,499 --> 00:10:01,968
I'll be right back.

208
00:10:06,305 --> 00:10:07,873
Ladies and gentlemen,
the tower has just directed us

209
00:10:07,873 --> 00:10:08,808
to a different runway.

210
00:10:09,675 --> 00:10:12,578
Please remain seated
with your seatbelts fastened.

211
00:10:12,578 --> 00:10:13,913
We should be airborne shortly.

212
00:10:13,913 --> 00:10:15,381
Are you okay?

213
00:10:15,381 --> 00:10:17,249
Yeah...

214
00:10:17,249 --> 00:10:19,452
as long as it's moving
in the direction

215
00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:21,020
it's supposed to be going.

216
00:10:25,257 --> 00:10:26,959
Well, ladies and gentlemen,

217
00:10:27,259 --> 00:10:29,829
it looks we're gonna be
sitting here for a while.

218
00:10:30,396 --> 00:10:34,734
The tower seems to be having
some traffic control problems.

219
00:10:35,167 --> 00:10:37,403
I'll let you know when
we're cleared for takeoff.

220
00:10:44,210 --> 00:10:47,680
This thing is like
an MRI machine with wings.

221
00:10:55,988 --> 00:10:58,491
Why isn't there
an update from the pilot?

222
00:10:58,491 --> 00:11:01,260
It's been, like, two hours.

223
00:11:04,864 --> 00:11:07,166
Oh, God.

224
00:11:08,467 --> 00:11:09,769
Do you have any snacks?

225
00:11:10,202 --> 00:11:12,371
Sorry, there's nothing
to eat on this plane.

226
00:11:13,906 --> 00:11:15,141
I need something
to eat, man.

227
00:11:15,408 --> 00:11:16,876
I don't know
what we're gonna do.

228
00:11:16,876 --> 00:11:18,844
Last time, he passed out.

229
00:11:27,353 --> 00:11:29,055
It's an emergency.

230
00:11:34,060 --> 00:11:36,962
Would you like this?
It might help.

231
00:11:37,163 --> 00:11:39,098
Thanks.

232
00:11:53,112 --> 00:11:54,480
You should've...
No, seriously, seriously.

233
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,582
You should have seen
your face, man.

234
00:11:56,582 --> 00:11:57,750
Oh, man.

235
00:12:03,155 --> 00:12:05,691
It looks like
you saved the day.

236
00:12:05,691 --> 00:12:07,226
I guess I did.

237
00:12:19,238 --> 00:12:22,241
I couldn't stop thinking
about the boy on the plane.

238
00:12:22,508 --> 00:12:25,044
It made me look at everything
I knew about myself

239
00:12:25,044 --> 00:12:26,479
that I wanted to be different.

240
00:12:26,846 --> 00:12:29,615
So, right then and there,
I made a decision.

241
00:12:30,015 --> 00:12:32,518
I decided to take
control of my life.

242
00:12:32,518 --> 00:12:33,452
You?

243
00:12:34,053 --> 00:12:36,489
Lady, I don't think
this is for you.

244
00:12:36,489 --> 00:12:38,657
Oh, well, I sure would
like to give it a try, yeah.

245
00:12:38,958 --> 00:12:40,960
You're talking
car accidents.

246
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,928
You have to be
prepared to deal

247
00:12:42,928 --> 00:12:46,298
with all sorts of
unpleasant sights.

248
00:12:46,298 --> 00:12:49,435
And I mean some pretty damn
grisly ones.

249
00:12:49,435 --> 00:12:51,937
Oh, oof, well, I--
I would imagine.

250
00:12:51,937 --> 00:12:53,739
Death and disfigurement?

251
00:12:54,039 --> 00:12:56,742
I mean, some of us end up
heaving our guts out.

252
00:12:56,742 --> 00:12:57,843
You can't help it.

253
00:12:57,843 --> 00:12:58,844
Oh, I hate vomit.

254
00:12:58,844 --> 00:12:59,879
Loads of vomit.

255
00:13:00,079 --> 00:13:01,647
I try-- I try
never to vomit.

256
00:13:01,647 --> 00:13:04,550
They'll vomit all over you,
I guarantee you.

257
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:06,652
Cooped up in the back
of an ambulance.

258
00:13:06,652 --> 00:13:07,219
Cooped?

259
00:13:07,753 --> 00:13:10,823
Racing down some bumpy road.

260
00:13:12,892 --> 00:13:13,526
If you haven't
kept in shape...

261
00:13:13,893 --> 00:13:14,660
I understand.

262
00:13:15,094 --> 00:13:18,531
Thanks, though,
for your time.

263
00:13:20,266 --> 00:13:22,401
Yeah, sure.

264
00:13:26,772 --> 00:13:29,074
Hey.

265
00:13:48,727 --> 00:13:50,095
Oh.

266
00:13:51,263 --> 00:13:53,699
Just trying to get
a feel for it in here.

267
00:13:54,366 --> 00:13:56,468
What it feels like
for the horses.

268
00:13:56,802 --> 00:13:58,304
You know, all cooped up?

269
00:13:59,471 --> 00:14:01,273
Is this a writer's thing?

270
00:14:01,273 --> 00:14:04,243
R-right.
Research.

271
00:14:15,855 --> 00:14:18,490
Piece of... cake.

272
00:14:25,764 --> 00:14:28,934
Can I look inside
the ambulance?

273
00:14:35,774 --> 00:14:39,478
Do these doors open
from the inside?

274
00:14:39,478 --> 00:14:41,046
Yeah.

275
00:14:41,046 --> 00:14:43,382
Oh.

276
00:14:43,382 --> 00:14:45,951
What is it exactly that
you're, uh, looking for?

277
00:14:45,951 --> 00:14:46,886
Oh, nothing.

278
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,057
Really, I've just never been
inside an ambulance before.

279
00:14:58,898 --> 00:15:01,066
Huh.

280
00:15:12,544 --> 00:15:13,779
Good.

281
00:15:14,446 --> 00:15:17,416
I mean, you're not
trapped in here...

282
00:15:18,350 --> 00:15:20,920
with the sick
vomiting person.

283
00:15:27,493 --> 00:15:28,961
You know what?

284
00:15:30,462 --> 00:15:33,198
I really wanna sign up
for that class.

285
00:15:34,366 --> 00:15:36,669
Brother.

286
00:15:40,806 --> 00:15:43,475
Hey.
Where were you?

287
00:15:44,243 --> 00:15:46,812
The Grafton firehouse.
Mm!

288
00:15:46,812 --> 00:15:48,614
Guess what?
What?

289
00:15:49,014 --> 00:15:50,249
I'm gonna be an EMT.

290
00:15:51,383 --> 00:15:53,285
I'm not kidding, Michael!

291
00:15:53,285 --> 00:15:56,021
Who said you were?
What do you do as an EMT?

292
00:15:56,689 --> 00:15:59,925
Well, you pull dying people
from car wrecks,

293
00:15:59,925 --> 00:16:01,994
stuff like that.

294
00:16:01,994 --> 00:16:03,696
Jane, you're 52 years old,

295
00:16:03,696 --> 00:16:05,497
you're not gonna be
a fireman.

296
00:16:05,497 --> 00:16:07,466
EMT.
EMT.

297
00:16:07,466 --> 00:16:11,070
You know, the other day,
helping that kid on the plane,

298
00:16:11,070 --> 00:16:13,305
that was one time in my life
when I didn't feel

299
00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:15,074
like the whole world
was collapsing around me.

300
00:16:15,074 --> 00:16:16,041
Yeah, but come on, Jane,

301
00:16:16,475 --> 00:16:19,278
I mean, you're not
gonna be an EMT.

302
00:16:19,278 --> 00:16:22,781
Every twinge you get is like
a brain tumor or MS.

303
00:16:22,781 --> 00:16:23,682
Well...
Or stroke.

304
00:16:24,283 --> 00:16:26,618
Look at my family, I mean,
every one of 'em, they...

305
00:16:26,819 --> 00:16:29,154
they wouldn't fly,
they wouldn't take boats,

306
00:16:29,154 --> 00:16:30,489
they wouldn't talk on
public telephones.

307
00:16:30,489 --> 00:16:31,890
They wouldn't eat in restaurants

308
00:16:32,157 --> 00:16:33,726
'cause they were afraid
they would be poisoned.

309
00:16:33,726 --> 00:16:35,027
I mean, I'm just like 'em.

310
00:16:35,294 --> 00:16:39,198
My whole life, I've just been
paralyzed by my fears.

311
00:16:39,398 --> 00:16:41,400
Well, number one is admitting
that you're powerless.

312
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,803
I know, I know.
12 steps.

313
00:16:44,803 --> 00:16:46,739
But this is not like that.

314
00:16:50,275 --> 00:16:52,611
I've done powerless.

315
00:16:53,178 --> 00:16:56,715
Just doesn't cut it.
Not anymore.

316
00:17:06,025 --> 00:17:08,293
Don't loiter in the lobby!

317
00:17:10,596 --> 00:17:13,065
Don't park in the spaces
in the parking lot

318
00:17:13,065 --> 00:17:15,334
reserved for police cars.

319
00:17:30,416 --> 00:17:33,118
Okay, people!
Listen up.

320
00:17:35,721 --> 00:17:37,222
Let's get started.

321
00:17:38,857 --> 00:17:40,526
Now, you will be volunteers.

322
00:17:40,793 --> 00:17:44,997
Your training will be the same
as the paid professionals.

323
00:17:45,330 --> 00:17:46,198
I'd like to assist her.

324
00:17:46,732 --> 00:17:48,467
You will know how
to insert airways

325
00:17:48,667 --> 00:17:50,803
to allow the patient
to breathe.

326
00:17:51,236 --> 00:17:52,938
You will assist paramedics.

327
00:17:52,938 --> 00:17:55,607
You must insert needles
into chest cavities.

328
00:17:55,607 --> 00:17:57,843
If the patient's
lungs collapse...

329
00:17:57,843 --> 00:17:59,144
Hi, I'm Jane.

330
00:17:59,144 --> 00:18:00,579
Dot.

331
00:18:03,515 --> 00:18:06,151
When the paramedic has to
administer morphine,

332
00:18:06,151 --> 00:18:08,720
you will spike the bag
and set it up,

333
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:10,689
so that instead of
a bone-jarring ride

334
00:18:10,689 --> 00:18:11,557
to the hospital,

335
00:18:12,057 --> 00:18:14,793
the patient will feel
like they're a baby...

336
00:18:15,727 --> 00:18:17,796
in its mother's arms.

337
00:18:20,999 --> 00:18:24,837
As an EMT-B, you will
be smack in the middle

338
00:18:24,837 --> 00:18:27,272
of the emergency care
hierarchy.

339
00:18:27,272 --> 00:18:30,275
This is the most
stressful job of all.

340
00:18:30,275 --> 00:18:32,644
Know the warning signs
of stress, people.

341
00:18:32,644 --> 00:18:37,282
Anxiety, guilt,
indecisiveness, insomnia.

342
00:18:37,282 --> 00:18:38,784
I already have
all of those.

343
00:18:38,784 --> 00:18:40,953
How will I know when
the job's getting to me?

344
00:18:51,363 --> 00:18:55,400
BSI-- Body Substance Isolation.

345
00:18:55,868 --> 00:18:58,237
BSI,
I'm number one!

346
00:18:58,237 --> 00:19:01,073
BSI, I'm number one!

347
00:19:01,073 --> 00:19:02,574
You are an EMT.

348
00:19:02,875 --> 00:19:06,245
You do not even think
about touching a patient

349
00:19:06,245 --> 00:19:08,947
without at least
a barrier of rubber

350
00:19:08,947 --> 00:19:09,982
between you and them.

351
00:19:09,982 --> 00:19:10,983
I'm number one!

352
00:19:11,183 --> 00:19:12,317
I'm number one!

353
00:19:12,651 --> 00:19:15,120
You are important
to yourself

354
00:19:15,120 --> 00:19:16,889
and to the rescue unit!

355
00:19:16,889 --> 00:19:19,591
If you arrive
on a scene and someone

356
00:19:19,591 --> 00:19:22,828
is pointing a gun at you,
the house is burning down,

357
00:19:22,828 --> 00:19:25,330
toxic fumes are
clouding the air,

358
00:19:25,330 --> 00:19:28,600
or some psychotic is telling
you the Martians

359
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,702
have ordered him
to kill you now,

360
00:19:30,702 --> 00:19:35,340
you do not
attempt to be a hero.

361
00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:38,177
You run for cover
and get help.

362
00:19:38,577 --> 00:19:42,814
That's what being
number one is all about.

363
00:19:42,814 --> 00:19:45,083
BSI! I'm number one!

364
00:19:45,484 --> 00:19:48,253
BSI! I'm number one!

365
00:19:48,253 --> 00:19:49,588
Louder!

366
00:19:49,588 --> 00:19:52,257
BSI! I'm number one!

367
00:19:52,257 --> 00:19:53,325
Louder!

368
00:19:53,525 --> 00:19:56,461
BSI! I'm number one!

369
00:20:14,913 --> 00:20:16,481
Jane?

370
00:20:19,451 --> 00:20:20,252
Are you all right?

371
00:20:20,519 --> 00:20:23,055
Michael, this is it.

372
00:20:23,388 --> 00:20:24,890
This is the other side
of what happens

373
00:20:24,890 --> 00:20:26,992
if you ever
have to call 911.

374
00:20:27,192 --> 00:20:29,061
I won't ever have to.

375
00:20:29,061 --> 00:20:31,463
Yeah, but if you do.

376
00:20:31,463 --> 00:20:33,832
Ed-- he's our teacher--

377
00:20:33,832 --> 00:20:36,735
he's this professional EMT
from over in Bridgeport.

378
00:20:36,735 --> 00:20:38,737
You wouldn't believe
some of the stuff he's seen.

379
00:20:38,737 --> 00:20:40,639
And next time,
he's gonna teach us

380
00:20:40,639 --> 00:20:43,408
how to cut people's clothing
off really fast

381
00:20:43,408 --> 00:20:44,843
and look 'em over
for bullet wounds

382
00:20:44,843 --> 00:20:46,211
that have entered
and exited.

383
00:20:46,411 --> 00:20:48,313
Honey, are you
gonna get undressed?

384
00:20:48,313 --> 00:20:50,215
When there's an emergency,
you gotta be able to jump

385
00:20:50,215 --> 00:20:51,316
in your clothes
and get out the door

386
00:20:51,583 --> 00:20:53,318
in a split second,
day or night.

387
00:20:53,318 --> 00:20:54,553
Oh, boy.

388
00:20:54,553 --> 00:20:56,288
Mwah!

389
00:20:56,288 --> 00:20:57,856
This stuff is amazing!

390
00:20:57,856 --> 00:21:00,626
Good, good, let's just--
let's go to sleep.

391
00:21:10,035 --> 00:21:14,306
Scapula, maxilla--
I love these words.

392
00:21:14,706 --> 00:21:17,576
"Cyanotic" means blue
from lack of oxygen.

393
00:21:17,576 --> 00:21:20,045
Huh, I didn't know that.

394
00:21:20,245 --> 00:21:21,580
Oh, my God.

395
00:21:22,447 --> 00:21:24,783
You have to look at this.
I'll pass, thanks.

396
00:21:24,783 --> 00:21:27,219
No, you-- you have
to look at this.

397
00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:29,488
His-- his...

398
00:21:29,488 --> 00:21:31,923
The skin's been
peeled off like a glove.

399
00:21:35,427 --> 00:21:37,596
I can't do this.

400
00:21:38,030 --> 00:21:40,699
Oh, they're probably just
showing the worst case scenario.

401
00:21:44,303 --> 00:21:46,338
Huh.

402
00:21:52,778 --> 00:21:54,913
Save it from choking.

403
00:22:04,890 --> 00:22:06,491
You killed him.

404
00:22:25,110 --> 00:22:26,545
Maybe mine's defective.

405
00:22:26,878 --> 00:22:28,580
Mm-hmm.

406
00:22:39,391 --> 00:22:41,093
And go.

407
00:22:41,093 --> 00:22:43,095
Oh!

408
00:22:43,095 --> 00:22:45,063
Wait a minute.
Lift!

409
00:22:45,063 --> 00:22:46,431
Oh!

410
00:22:54,339 --> 00:22:56,241
Lift, lift.

411
00:22:58,276 --> 00:22:59,778
Stern?

412
00:23:00,479 --> 00:23:01,680
You've killed him.

413
00:23:01,913 --> 00:23:04,249
He had a heart attack
and now...

414
00:23:04,649 --> 00:23:06,651
he has fatal head trauma.

415
00:23:10,822 --> 00:23:11,556
Stern?

416
00:23:11,556 --> 00:23:12,791
Huh?

417
00:23:13,158 --> 00:23:16,228
Rescue Randy is not
a bean-bag chair.

418
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:27,973
Michael, slow down!

419
00:23:27,973 --> 00:23:30,175
This is a metal cage
waiting to kill us

420
00:23:30,175 --> 00:23:32,577
in a dozen ways
I never even knew about.

421
00:23:32,577 --> 00:23:34,713
Oh, great.

422
00:23:34,713 --> 00:23:36,782
You can get trapped
inside underwater,

423
00:23:37,082 --> 00:23:39,618
seat belt could crush
my intestines.

424
00:23:39,618 --> 00:23:41,853
Oh, here we go.
A little bit of knowledge

425
00:23:41,853 --> 00:23:43,488
of something else
to get nuts about.

426
00:23:43,755 --> 00:23:45,957
You can hit your head
on the dashboard,

427
00:23:45,957 --> 00:23:47,826
send your brain bouncing
around inside your skull.

428
00:23:47,826 --> 00:23:51,496
You know, it's not
just cars, Jane.

429
00:23:51,830 --> 00:23:55,367
Dogs have big teeth and cause
severe puncture wounds.

430
00:23:55,367 --> 00:23:57,035
Oh, just shut up.

431
00:23:57,269 --> 00:23:58,470
Bees can sting ya,

432
00:23:58,737 --> 00:24:00,806
you can go into
anaphylactic shock.

433
00:24:00,806 --> 00:24:02,174
Stop!

434
00:24:07,779 --> 00:24:12,417
I take this horse
and I walk him around back,

435
00:24:12,417 --> 00:24:13,985
and I stand there for a minute.

436
00:24:15,287 --> 00:24:16,755
And then I bring him out again.

437
00:24:16,755 --> 00:24:18,323
Same horse?
Oh, sure.

438
00:24:18,323 --> 00:24:19,624
Same damn horse.

439
00:24:22,427 --> 00:24:24,996
And he looks it up and down.

440
00:24:24,996 --> 00:24:28,099
"How much?"
I tell him 20,000.

441
00:24:28,099 --> 00:24:31,069
And Joey starts
peeling off the bills.

442
00:24:32,771 --> 00:24:34,439
Ahh. I gotta go.

443
00:24:34,439 --> 00:24:35,207
I'm gonna be late.

444
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,709
You go get 'em,
ambulance girl.

445
00:24:40,545 --> 00:24:42,080
See you guys.

446
00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:49,654
Hey, Pete, listen.
I told Jane

447
00:24:49,654 --> 00:24:51,122
that the next time we
go out to Wyoming

448
00:24:51,122 --> 00:24:52,891
or the Dakotas
on a research trip,

449
00:24:52,891 --> 00:24:54,459
I want you to come
with us too.

450
00:24:54,893 --> 00:24:56,294
Oh, I'd love to see
that country.

451
00:24:56,561 --> 00:24:58,497
Yeah.
Yeah, just the two of us,

452
00:24:58,497 --> 00:25:01,700
we'd, uh... we'd go out
there for a couple days

453
00:25:01,700 --> 00:25:04,970
and ride out
and get lost.

454
00:25:04,970 --> 00:25:08,473
You remind me to tell Jane
about the mare in heat,

455
00:25:08,473 --> 00:25:11,610
and my stallion
going right at it

456
00:25:11,610 --> 00:25:14,145
with me hanging on
for dear life.

457
00:25:14,579 --> 00:25:16,248
Yeah, that's her
kind of story.

458
00:25:18,783 --> 00:25:21,119
That Jane's a great girl.

459
00:25:27,192 --> 00:25:28,593
Listen up, people.

460
00:25:29,027 --> 00:25:30,862
We need to walk
through this together.

461
00:25:31,162 --> 00:25:33,698
One out of 20 of you
has a main artery

462
00:25:33,698 --> 00:25:35,300
that is congenitally faulty,

463
00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:37,636
and will at some time
hemorrhage.

464
00:25:37,836 --> 00:25:40,405
If you're lucky
and it is found in time,

465
00:25:40,405 --> 00:25:41,873
you will not die.

466
00:25:42,274 --> 00:25:44,843
Stern, take your hand off
your carotid artery.

467
00:25:44,843 --> 00:25:47,078
You are stopping
blood supply to the brain.

468
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:57,622
Ah... ah-ah.

469
00:25:57,856 --> 00:26:00,358
O-o-ow! Ow! Ow!
Stop it, you're hurting me.

470
00:26:00,358 --> 00:26:01,560
Ah!

471
00:26:01,826 --> 00:26:03,728
Machinery's not my strong suit.

472
00:26:03,728 --> 00:26:05,697
Clearly.

473
00:26:18,276 --> 00:26:21,947
Your... your blood pressure's
very high.

474
00:26:30,689 --> 00:26:33,024
It's true.

475
00:26:33,024 --> 00:26:35,193
"P" is for provocation--

476
00:26:35,193 --> 00:26:37,128
what makes the condition
better or worse.

477
00:26:37,128 --> 00:26:39,230
I can't for the life of me
remember how many liters

478
00:26:39,230 --> 00:26:42,033
of oxygen are in
an M-sized O2 tank.

479
00:26:42,033 --> 00:26:43,902
That's important?
Yes!

480
00:26:43,902 --> 00:26:45,103
Sometimes I think
I'm too stupid

481
00:26:45,370 --> 00:26:47,706
for this class,
and other times...

482
00:26:47,706 --> 00:26:50,008
Some of the lectures
are like,

483
00:26:50,241 --> 00:26:52,377
"Do not try to replace
someone's organs

484
00:26:52,377 --> 00:26:54,379
if they are hanging
from their body."

485
00:26:54,379 --> 00:26:56,581
They say this
with a straight face.

486
00:26:56,781 --> 00:26:58,750
Who would do these things?

487
00:26:59,284 --> 00:27:00,285
What's that?

488
00:27:00,485 --> 00:27:01,853
It's called "Pass EMT".

489
00:27:02,587 --> 00:27:05,924
If there is an impaled object
in the neck, do not remove it.

490
00:27:05,924 --> 00:27:08,026
I'm gonna watch it twice
a day until it soaks in

491
00:27:08,026 --> 00:27:09,961
and I pass my boards.
Well, just be careful.

492
00:27:09,961 --> 00:27:11,129
You're not exactly
Lance Armstrong.

493
00:27:11,396 --> 00:27:13,398
I have to start
working out every day.

494
00:27:13,398 --> 00:27:15,400
I'm gonna do this, Michael.
I think it's good, Jane.

495
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,134
You do?
Well, yeah.

496
00:27:16,901 --> 00:27:18,603
You're doing your own thing,
it's good to see.

497
00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:21,139
Looking at the eyes,
do they respond to light?

498
00:27:21,539 --> 00:27:25,176
Are they equal?
Do they move symmetrically?

499
00:27:25,176 --> 00:27:27,712
Without moving his head,
we'll have the patient

500
00:27:27,712 --> 00:27:30,715
follow our index finger
as we move it side to side

501
00:27:30,715 --> 00:27:31,650
and up and down.

502
00:27:32,050 --> 00:27:34,419
If eye movement
is restricted...

503
00:27:34,419 --> 00:27:37,088
On almost every call,
you will be responsible

504
00:27:37,088 --> 00:27:39,791
for lifting and moving patients
without aggravating...

505
00:27:40,091 --> 00:27:43,261
I may be more than twice
his age, but I don't care.

506
00:27:43,261 --> 00:27:45,964
...knowledgeable about proper
methods of lifting and moving

507
00:27:45,964 --> 00:27:47,565
to prevent injury to yourself.

508
00:27:47,565 --> 00:27:51,069
So, flex at the knees,
using your legs like this

509
00:27:51,069 --> 00:27:52,370
to save your back.

510
00:27:57,375 --> 00:28:01,046
Straight up.
And right back down.

511
00:28:04,015 --> 00:28:06,785
Well, who wants to help
me out up here?

512
00:28:06,785 --> 00:28:08,219
Uh...

513
00:28:10,288 --> 00:28:13,324
Spencer and I will now
hoist the patient in the air

514
00:28:13,324 --> 00:28:15,960
and place her in
the stair chair.

515
00:28:17,128 --> 00:28:19,764
How much
do you weigh, Stern?

516
00:28:19,764 --> 00:28:21,866
I never volunteer that.

517
00:28:29,140 --> 00:28:31,743
You're unconscious, Stern.

518
00:28:43,755 --> 00:28:46,758
Hi. I'm Jane.

519
00:28:47,592 --> 00:28:49,227
I'm an EMT.

520
00:28:50,261 --> 00:28:52,163
Hi, Jane.

521
00:29:13,952 --> 00:29:16,020
Do not touch anything.

522
00:29:16,020 --> 00:29:17,922
Do not talk
to the firemen.

523
00:29:17,922 --> 00:29:20,291
Do not ask them questions.

524
00:29:20,291 --> 00:29:23,728
I feel like a second grader
going to a museum.

525
00:29:23,728 --> 00:29:24,729
Stern!

526
00:29:24,729 --> 00:29:25,930
Yes, sir!

527
00:29:29,234 --> 00:29:32,737
Stair chair-- a folding chair
used for carrying someone

528
00:29:32,737 --> 00:29:35,406
in a sitting position
down the stairs.

529
00:29:35,406 --> 00:29:36,407
You be the patient.

530
00:29:41,646 --> 00:29:44,516
Come on.

531
00:29:44,516 --> 00:29:45,850
Yeah.

532
00:29:46,217 --> 00:29:48,386
Don't worry,
I'm really strong.

533
00:29:48,653 --> 00:29:53,525
On my count of three.
One, two, three.

534
00:30:01,533 --> 00:30:02,967
I have to stop.

535
00:30:04,536 --> 00:30:06,838
Stern, maybe you should take

536
00:30:06,838 --> 00:30:07,939
the foot part,
it's a little lighter.

537
00:30:08,206 --> 00:30:10,308
I don't do backward,
even at home.

538
00:30:10,308 --> 00:30:11,042
Stern!

539
00:30:15,146 --> 00:30:18,249
I'll tell you
when to step off.

540
00:30:18,249 --> 00:30:20,285
Lift.

541
00:30:20,285 --> 00:30:21,586
Step.

542
00:30:21,586 --> 00:30:23,888
Step, just don't
let him hang in the air.

543
00:30:23,888 --> 00:30:24,789
Uh...

544
00:30:26,357 --> 00:30:28,426
Keep both hands on the chair
or you will drop him.

545
00:30:33,898 --> 00:30:35,700
Oh, that hurt.

546
00:30:35,700 --> 00:30:37,702
Fail.

547
00:30:37,702 --> 00:30:39,137
Stern?
Huh?

548
00:30:39,137 --> 00:30:42,340
See me after class.

549
00:30:57,755 --> 00:31:00,892
Can't call 911.
You're all here.

550
00:31:04,229 --> 00:31:06,197
I couldn't even walk
down a flight of stairs

551
00:31:06,197 --> 00:31:07,365
without holding on.

552
00:31:07,365 --> 00:31:08,700
I'd trust you
to carry me.

553
00:31:09,033 --> 00:31:10,368
Well, you'd really
have to be out of it.

554
00:31:10,702 --> 00:31:12,837
Besides, that's what the cops
and firemen are there for,

555
00:31:12,837 --> 00:31:14,405
to help you lift people.

556
00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:18,176
Ooh, big hunky men
at my command?

557
00:31:18,176 --> 00:31:19,844
Now, I feel better.

558
00:31:21,646 --> 00:31:24,115
You're sure you don't mind
if I use you as a guinea pig?

559
00:31:24,415 --> 00:31:26,951
I love playing
doctor with you.

560
00:31:30,755 --> 00:31:32,957
Normal.

561
00:31:45,436 --> 00:31:46,804
That's a gorgeous saddle.

562
00:31:47,071 --> 00:31:48,806
There's nothing
you can't do.

563
00:31:49,207 --> 00:31:51,976
Michael and I wish
you had been our father.

564
00:31:51,976 --> 00:31:54,012
That would've made you
some kind of perverts.

565
00:31:54,445 --> 00:31:55,413
Okay, then.

566
00:31:55,747 --> 00:31:57,415
You can be Michael's father.

567
00:31:57,682 --> 00:32:00,985
My father... my father had
a steel plate in his skull.

568
00:32:00,985 --> 00:32:02,553
Did I ever tell you that?
No.

569
00:32:02,553 --> 00:32:04,689
He... he'd just
go off, you know,

570
00:32:04,889 --> 00:32:07,458
on these uncontrollable rages.
It was something about him

571
00:32:07,458 --> 00:32:09,694
playing on the trolley tracks
when he was a kid.

572
00:32:09,694 --> 00:32:11,696
His forehead caved in
and then came out again

573
00:32:11,696 --> 00:32:14,032
kinda weird I guess
where the plate was.

574
00:32:14,032 --> 00:32:16,100
I used to have
these nightmares

575
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:20,571
about Frankenstein's
monster chasing me.

576
00:32:20,571 --> 00:32:22,473
When I was eight,
my mother packed me up

577
00:32:22,473 --> 00:32:25,209
and ran away with me while
he was out walking our dog.

578
00:32:25,476 --> 00:32:27,378
She studied to be
a concert pianist,

579
00:32:27,378 --> 00:32:29,213
and when we finally
found a place,

580
00:32:29,213 --> 00:32:30,848
the only thing she brought
was her grand piano.

581
00:32:31,049 --> 00:32:34,052
So, we ate our meals on top
and then we slept underneath.

582
00:32:34,052 --> 00:32:36,754
That's a vision.
Yeah.

583
00:32:37,388 --> 00:32:39,424
Well, he never
forgave her for leaving.

584
00:32:43,094 --> 00:32:45,029
He threatened
to kill us both.

585
00:32:45,697 --> 00:32:48,333
I was-- I was afraid
to leave the house.

586
00:32:51,202 --> 00:32:52,704
When was this?

587
00:32:53,004 --> 00:32:54,038
How long ago?

588
00:32:55,606 --> 00:32:57,108
Well, it was when I...

589
00:32:58,176 --> 00:32:59,310
it was a long time ago.

590
00:32:59,310 --> 00:33:00,678
Yeah.
Long time ago.

591
00:33:08,686 --> 00:33:11,823
Let me see if I can find
my old binoculars

592
00:33:11,823 --> 00:33:13,725
so I can see back that far.

593
00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:25,536
Suppose I should wait
until I even pass my boards.

594
00:33:26,170 --> 00:33:28,106
Of course, I'm gonna
pass my boards.

595
00:33:28,639 --> 00:33:30,508
They have all these
cool websites

596
00:33:30,508 --> 00:33:32,977
where you can order
this EMT stuff.

597
00:33:32,977 --> 00:33:34,712
Oh! Damn it!

598
00:33:35,279 --> 00:33:38,449
Apply pressure!
I'll call 911.

599
00:33:38,449 --> 00:33:41,486
No, you won't.
It's not that bad.

600
00:33:41,486 --> 00:33:43,688
What are you so happy about?
I'm not!

601
00:33:43,688 --> 00:33:46,324
Well, you don't exactly
inspire confidence.

602
00:33:47,492 --> 00:33:50,428
Apply more pressure!
Yeah, I got it.

603
00:33:50,428 --> 00:33:51,763
Do you want me to do that?
No.

604
00:33:51,996 --> 00:33:53,631
Here.
No-- Jane.

605
00:33:53,631 --> 00:33:55,566
Jane, please, stop.

606
00:33:55,566 --> 00:33:57,201
Elevate it.
Look, easy.

607
00:33:57,201 --> 00:33:58,269
I'm not exactly
Rescue Randy.

608
00:33:58,536 --> 00:34:00,872
I know, Rescue Randy
lets me help him.

609
00:34:01,072 --> 00:34:03,808
Please.

610
00:34:03,808 --> 00:34:06,878
Oh... ooh, I think
you should go to the ER.

611
00:34:06,878 --> 00:34:07,845
Let me drive you.

612
00:34:08,112 --> 00:34:10,014
No, I'm gonna go out
to see K.T.

613
00:34:10,014 --> 00:34:11,783
What?

614
00:34:11,783 --> 00:34:13,217
Keep applying pressure!

615
00:34:13,217 --> 00:34:15,153
Heel.

616
00:34:15,153 --> 00:34:18,156
Michael, at least let me
take a look at it!

617
00:34:18,156 --> 00:34:19,891
No, this EMT stuff
is making you

618
00:34:19,891 --> 00:34:21,692
even more of a control freak!

619
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,228
Kirby, up!

620
00:34:48,519 --> 00:34:50,321
Hey.

621
00:34:50,521 --> 00:34:52,490
You should get some
stitches in that, boy.

622
00:34:52,723 --> 00:34:54,592
You need to get
to a doctor.

623
00:34:54,592 --> 00:34:55,827
What...

624
00:35:05,636 --> 00:35:07,972
What?

625
00:35:07,972 --> 00:35:10,741
Dr. Leeds, please report
to Physical Therapy.

626
00:35:10,741 --> 00:35:12,710
Oh...

627
00:35:12,710 --> 00:35:15,046
Ooh!
Shh.

628
00:35:15,046 --> 00:35:16,881
Oof!

629
00:35:16,881 --> 00:35:19,584
Jane, why don't you
just go wait outside?

630
00:35:20,384 --> 00:35:22,520
Oh...
Just go wait outside.

631
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,088
Okay.
You gonna be okay?

632
00:35:24,088 --> 00:35:25,690
I'll be fine.
Okay.

633
00:35:40,605 --> 00:35:43,407
Sometimes life
is a waiting game.

634
00:35:43,875 --> 00:35:47,044
Now, all I had to do
was pass my boards.

635
00:35:47,044 --> 00:35:50,014
I'd have to wait
six long, agonizing weeks

636
00:35:50,014 --> 00:35:52,316
until the National Registry
of EMTs

637
00:35:52,550 --> 00:35:54,819
gave me a thumbs up or down.

638
00:35:54,819 --> 00:36:00,124
Those weeks crawled by,
and then one day, I heard.

639
00:36:00,324 --> 00:36:03,094
Oh, my gosh.

640
00:36:03,094 --> 00:36:04,762
Oh, God.

641
00:36:08,666 --> 00:36:11,936
"Congratulations!"
I got it!

642
00:36:11,936 --> 00:36:15,339
Michael?
Hey.

643
00:36:15,339 --> 00:36:18,242
I passed!
Michael!

644
00:36:18,242 --> 00:36:20,044
Way to go, Jane!

645
00:36:20,044 --> 00:36:22,079
I passed the National Board!

646
00:36:22,079 --> 00:36:24,515
I more than passed,
I did exceptionally well.

647
00:36:24,515 --> 00:36:28,619
Look!
My EMT certification.

648
00:36:28,619 --> 00:36:29,453
And my wallet cards and...

649
00:36:30,254 --> 00:36:33,357
Look, patches
I can sew on.

650
00:36:33,357 --> 00:36:36,694
Aw, I'm-- I'm proud
of you, honey.

651
00:36:39,730 --> 00:36:42,466
Wow.

652
00:36:42,466 --> 00:36:44,468
I'm an EMT.

653
00:37:27,478 --> 00:37:31,082
Hi, Jane?
I'm Audrey.

654
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:32,650
Hi.
Congratulations.

655
00:37:32,650 --> 00:37:34,952
Thanks.
This is for you.

656
00:37:34,952 --> 00:37:36,687
Wow.
See?

657
00:37:36,687 --> 00:37:39,357
It flashes the date
and hour in military time.

658
00:37:39,357 --> 00:37:40,324
You're gonna need that
when you fill out

659
00:37:40,524 --> 00:37:41,859
the ambulance run sheets.

660
00:37:41,859 --> 00:37:43,661
This is so terrific.

661
00:37:43,661 --> 00:37:47,565
Do you know Vince Milnik from
the gas station, our chief?

662
00:37:47,932 --> 00:37:53,170
And his brothers Frank,
and Joey, Walter.

663
00:37:53,437 --> 00:37:56,207
And this is Grant.
He is gonna give you

664
00:37:56,207 --> 00:37:57,375
your radios and your pager.

665
00:37:57,375 --> 00:37:58,709
Nice to meet you.
Hey.

666
00:37:58,709 --> 00:38:02,246
You're gonna come with me.
Okay.

00:38:25,403 --> 00:38:27,972
It's the Star of Life.
I put it there.

674
00:38:28,172 --> 00:38:30,141
I'm in love with my sticker!

675
00:38:30,141 --> 00:38:33,311
It's like this great bonanza
of stuff they give you.

676
00:38:34,879 --> 00:38:37,348
To keep the blood
and debris out of my eyes.

677

They gave you
all this stuff?

678
00:38:39,150 --> 00:38:39,784
Some of it.

679
00:38:40,518 --> 00:38:42,687

00:38:53,331 --> 00:38:55,833
I don't care.
I love it.

684
00:38:58,302 --> 00:39:00,171
Okay, I wanna know something.

686
00:39:01,405 --> 00:39:03,307
I'm gonna put this

Where is your heart?
I don't know.

688
00:39:05,843 --> 00:39:08,279

number six, Perkins Road.

693
00:39:27,264 --> 00:39:30,434
Elderly woman fallen,
possible broken hip.

694
00:39:30,434 --> 00:39:32,203
Come in.

695
00:39:32,203 --> 00:39:35,406
Um... um...
she...

696
00:39:38,476 --> 00:39:40,444
Ooh-- ow.

697
00:39:40,444 --> 00:39:45,416
G-56 responding, G-56.

698
00:39:45,416 --> 00:39:48,219
Jane, G-56 is already
assigned on the call.

699
00:39:48,219 --> 00:39:50,020
You're G-65.

700
00:39:50,020 --> 00:39:51,789
I mean, G-65.

701
00:39:52,223 --> 00:39:54,892
So paranoid I was gonna
do that, and I did it.

702
00:39:54,892 --> 00:39:57,428
You're supposed to be like
Joe Friday over the radio,

703
00:39:57,428 --> 00:39:59,697
not some...

00:39:59,697 --> 00:40:02,566
...yenta on the telephone.

705
00:40:25,990 --> 00:40:27,491
She tripped.

706
00:40:27,491 --> 00:40:29,493
I think she may have
broken her hip.

707
00:40:29,493 --> 00:40:30,594
What is your mother's name?

708
00:40:30,594 --> 00:40:31,562
Muriel Bergman.

709
00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:33,564
Muriel...

710
00:40:35,433 --> 00:40:39,069
Hi, I'm Jane with
the Grafton ambulance.

711
00:40:40,771 --> 00:40:44,375
Don't worry, Missus...
we're gonna fix you right up.

712
00:40:44,375 --> 00:40:45,843
Okay.

713
00:40:45,843 --> 00:40:48,412
Missus, on a scale
of one to ten,

714
00:40:48,412 --> 00:40:49,547
how bad is the pain?

715
00:40:49,547 --> 00:40:52,049
Ten.

716
00:40:52,049 --> 00:40:54,785
Um... I'm gonna take
a quick peek,

717
00:40:54,785 --> 00:40:56,921
and I'll try to be
as gentle as I can.

718
00:40:57,188 --> 00:40:58,722
Oh!

719
00:41:00,724 --> 00:41:02,426
I'm so sorry.

720
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:07,498
Um... I'm gonna take
your blood pressure.

721
00:41:07,498 --> 00:41:09,166
My mother's had
a mastectomy.

722
00:41:09,166 --> 00:41:10,134
Which side?

723
00:41:10,901 --> 00:41:13,437
I can't take a reading on
the side that's had the surgery.

724
00:41:13,437 --> 00:41:15,639
On both sides.

725
00:41:20,211 --> 00:41:21,712
Sorry.

726
00:41:22,713 --> 00:41:24,648
Let's get a pulse, okay?

727
00:41:26,183 --> 00:41:27,518
Okay...

728
00:41:32,857 --> 00:41:36,160
What happened?
She fell.

729
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,863
Did you get a pulse
and a BP?

730
00:41:38,863 --> 00:41:40,631
No.

731
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,977
Jane, do you wanna
ride with us?

732
00:41:52,977 --> 00:41:53,711
Not now.

733
00:41:54,044 --> 00:41:56,547
I have, uh,
company at my house.

734
00:42:05,823 --> 00:42:08,192
I wanna thank you
for all your help.

735
00:42:08,192 --> 00:42:11,996
Good night.

736
00:42:13,130 --> 00:42:16,133
I got lucky
I didn't kill her.

737
00:42:18,435 --> 00:42:21,739
Kept calling her "missus"
like I was the cleaning lady.

738
00:42:24,074 --> 00:42:27,077
That Audrey, boy,
she's the real deal.

739
00:42:27,077 --> 00:42:29,580
I mean, she knows what to do
in an emergency.

740
00:42:29,580 --> 00:42:31,482
I only know
what to do on paper.

741
00:42:31,749 --> 00:42:33,083
Jane...
Then I couldn't even get

742
00:42:33,083 --> 00:42:35,319
in the back of the ambulance.

743
00:42:35,319 --> 00:42:38,289
But if I had, they would've had
another patient on their hands.

744
00:42:39,290 --> 00:42:42,092
This whole thing
has been a huge mistake.

745
00:42:49,767 --> 00:42:51,068
I'm going back to bed.

746
00:42:56,507 --> 00:43:00,177
I gotta get out of this
before I do some real damage.

747
00:43:06,884 --> 00:43:08,852
Hey, Jane.
Hi.

748
00:43:12,923 --> 00:43:14,358
You're late, young lady.

749
00:43:14,658 --> 00:43:18,429
Work detail
every Saturday morning,

750
00:43:18,429 --> 00:43:19,697
10:00 sharp.

751
00:43:19,697 --> 00:43:23,334
Um, I... I went on
a call last night.

752
00:43:23,334 --> 00:43:24,768
I read your report.

753
00:43:24,768 --> 00:43:27,871
I came down here to resign.

754
00:43:30,307 --> 00:43:33,210
I don't think I have
what it takes to handle this.

755
00:43:33,410 --> 00:43:35,212
What can't you handle?

756
00:43:35,412 --> 00:43:36,547
Dead people.

757
00:43:36,914 --> 00:43:40,451
Um... puke, feces.

758
00:43:40,784 --> 00:43:43,220
Amputations.

759
00:43:43,220 --> 00:43:44,488
Nobody can...

760
00:43:45,022 --> 00:43:46,890
until you have to do it.

761
00:43:58,936 --> 00:44:01,672
Grafton ambulance personnel...

762
00:44:12,249 --> 00:44:16,186
Okay, Jane, go to the rig
and get the frac pack.

763
00:44:16,186 --> 00:44:17,921
Frac pack.

764
00:44:19,990 --> 00:44:23,060
Frac pack, frac pack.

765
00:44:23,060 --> 00:44:27,064
Frac pack, frac pack,
where's the... fracture pack.

766
00:44:28,532 --> 00:44:31,068
Here you go. Easy.
It'll be okay.

767
00:44:31,068 --> 00:44:32,870
His leg.
You want me to?

768
00:44:32,870 --> 00:44:34,238
Splint the guy, yeah.

769
00:44:34,505 --> 00:44:38,175
His right leg's twisted
badly, it's broken.

770
00:44:38,175 --> 00:44:41,679
Didn't have any strength left.

771
00:44:42,579 --> 00:44:44,615
Set it next to his leg.

772
00:44:44,882 --> 00:44:46,650
Right. Right.

773
00:44:46,650 --> 00:44:48,952
Get the shoe off first.

774
00:44:52,089 --> 00:44:54,725
It's stuck.
I don't know if I...

775
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,129
You're doing good.

776
00:44:59,129 --> 00:45:01,732
That's it, that's it.

777
00:45:01,732 --> 00:45:04,001
Is this okay?
Should I keep going?

778
00:45:09,606 --> 00:45:11,175
Just keep going.

779
00:45:12,976 --> 00:45:16,313
Cut his pant leg high enough
so you can get the splint on.

780
00:45:17,147 --> 00:45:20,017
You're all right.

781
00:45:20,017 --> 00:45:22,319
Two, three, up we go.

782
00:45:28,592 --> 00:45:30,994
All right, he's good.

783
00:45:36,300 --> 00:45:38,469
Go!
What?

784
00:45:38,469 --> 00:45:40,003
Let's go!

785
00:45:45,609 --> 00:45:47,578
Clear!

786
00:45:53,484 --> 00:45:54,852
Cut his jacket off.

787
00:45:54,852 --> 00:45:56,320
Okay!

788
00:45:56,587 --> 00:45:58,355
By the way, my name is Jane.

789
00:45:59,022 --> 00:46:02,292
Newtown, this is paramedic
unit 787, do you copy?

790
00:46:02,292 --> 00:46:04,061
Get away from me, you bitch!

791
00:46:04,061 --> 00:46:05,028
Don't touch my leathers!

792
00:46:05,262 --> 00:46:07,297
Get the jacket off!
Okay.

793
00:46:07,297 --> 00:46:09,399
Male patient,
36 years of age,

794
00:46:09,399 --> 00:46:11,068
involved in a motorcycle
collision.

795
00:46:11,068 --> 00:46:11,969
Obvious fractured
right tib-fib,

796
00:46:12,302 --> 00:46:13,937
fully immobilized.
My leathers.

797
00:46:13,937 --> 00:46:15,105
My leathers!

798
00:46:15,372 --> 00:46:16,473
Don't do that!
Don't cut his leathers!

799
00:46:16,707 --> 00:46:17,574
Get back.

800
00:46:17,975 --> 00:46:19,743
Blood pressure
has not been obtained.

801
00:46:19,743 --> 00:46:21,411
Respiration's 16.

802
00:46:21,645 --> 00:46:24,414
Copy, 787,
waiting your arrival.

803
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,288
Good job, Jane.

804
00:47:04,555 --> 00:47:06,223
Double delta
or burgers, ladies?

805
00:47:06,223 --> 00:47:08,025
Donuts?
Donuts.

806
00:47:08,325 --> 00:47:11,528
How scary can this be if you
get to have donuts afterwards?

807
00:47:12,663 --> 00:47:15,699
These guys!
I love them.

808
00:47:15,699 --> 00:47:18,902
It's like their favorite
things to do are smoke, drink.

809
00:47:18,902 --> 00:47:20,270
Eat pizza.
Curse.

810
00:47:20,270 --> 00:47:21,638
Put out fires.
What else is there?

811
00:47:21,638 --> 00:47:23,006
What else is there?

812
00:47:24,608 --> 00:47:25,409
And they have no idea

813
00:47:25,809 --> 00:47:26,844
what I do in my other life.

814
00:47:27,277 --> 00:47:30,113
Yeah, they do,
in a vague sort of way.

815
00:47:30,113 --> 00:47:31,582
But they don't care!

816
00:47:33,150 --> 00:47:36,386
I never used to pay attention
to the Milnik brothers.

817
00:47:36,386 --> 00:47:38,155
They were always
just mechanics.

818
00:47:38,155 --> 00:47:40,123
Filled my gas tank,
took my credit card.

819
00:47:40,123 --> 00:47:42,793
Well, on a one-to-ten scale
of gregarious,

820
00:47:42,793 --> 00:47:44,328
they're about a two.

821
00:47:44,595 --> 00:47:46,730
But they're the best.

822
00:47:50,834 --> 00:47:52,703
It's so soothing here.

823
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,307
What?

824
00:47:57,307 --> 00:47:59,176
I did it.

825
00:47:59,610 --> 00:48:03,146
I was able to sit in the back
of an ambulance and not freak.

826
00:48:03,413 --> 00:48:05,649
That's great.
It was really good.

827
00:48:05,649 --> 00:48:08,585
'Cause his leg was, like,
snapped like a chicken leg,

828
00:48:08,585 --> 00:48:09,753
and twisted.
I got it.

829
00:48:10,187 --> 00:48:12,422
But I was so busy with what
I was supposed to do,

830
00:48:12,422 --> 00:48:14,958
I-- I didn't have time
to utz about my own stuff.

831
00:48:14,958 --> 00:48:17,194
Well, I stopped by
the vet's today

832
00:48:17,194 --> 00:48:18,629
to pick up Kirby's pills.

833
00:48:18,962 --> 00:48:20,530
Oh.

834
00:48:20,530 --> 00:48:22,666
Jim Maguire says
the Milnik brothers like you.

835
00:48:23,066 --> 00:48:24,735
They do?

836
00:48:24,935 --> 00:48:27,671
God, Vince Milnik.
He's incredible.

837
00:48:28,205 --> 00:48:30,340
You should've seen the way
he got the area secured,

838
00:48:30,340 --> 00:48:32,175
the two of 'em
off to the hospital.

839
00:48:32,175 --> 00:48:34,444
Guess I'm not
your type anymore, huh?

840
00:48:34,444 --> 00:48:36,280
Oh, silly!

841
00:48:37,581 --> 00:48:39,149
The book.

842
00:48:39,349 --> 00:48:41,518
Remember our book
"Roadfood"?

843
00:48:43,186 --> 00:48:46,323
Great. Great.

844
00:48:48,592 --> 00:48:51,295
They like me?

845
00:48:53,297 --> 00:48:55,065
When it comes to fried chicken,

846
00:48:55,332 --> 00:48:57,834
which might be the universal
all-American food,

847
00:48:58,035 --> 00:49:01,538
Stroud's Restaurant in
Kansas City, Missouri is truly

848
00:49:01,538 --> 00:49:02,506
head and shoulders
above the rest.

849
00:49:02,773 --> 00:49:03,840
Here's why it's great.

850
00:49:04,474 --> 00:49:07,110
Basically, you can't screw up
fried chicken that much.

851
00:49:07,110 --> 00:49:09,680
I mean, even the worst
fast food fried chicken,

852
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,815
I can eat a bucketful of,
no problem.

853
00:49:12,149 --> 00:49:15,018
However, what makes Stroud's
fried chicken perfect

854
00:49:15,018 --> 00:49:15,919
is that the crust is...

855
00:49:17,487 --> 00:49:20,991
Don't worry.
You can't hurt him now.

856
00:49:28,765 --> 00:49:31,568
See, this is my idea
of chicken heaven.

857
00:49:33,570 --> 00:49:36,640
It started as an old roadhouse
dating back to the 1930s.

858
00:49:37,274 --> 00:49:39,209
Helen Stroud started it
as a fireworks stand.

859
00:49:40,043 --> 00:49:41,611
Then she decided
the fireworks business

860
00:49:41,611 --> 00:49:44,381
isn't so good, "I'm gonna
start frying chicken."

861
00:49:44,614 --> 00:49:47,284
God bless her.
God bless her, she did.

862
00:49:47,284 --> 00:49:49,720
And since the '30s,
Stroud's has been known

863
00:49:49,720 --> 00:49:52,389
as the
fried chicken place
in Kansas City,

864
00:49:52,622 --> 00:49:55,692
which is a very serious
fried chicken town in general.

865
00:50:18,382 --> 00:50:20,851
Have a look at Blanche
and Bill's Pancake House.

866
00:50:20,851 --> 00:50:23,587
I made a couple of changes
in that one too.

867
00:50:25,555 --> 00:50:27,457
Grafton ambulance personnel,

868
00:50:27,457 --> 00:50:31,228
crisis intervention,
2946 Ridgefield Avenue.

869
00:50:31,228 --> 00:50:32,629
Please respond.

870
00:50:33,930 --> 00:50:36,967
G-65, G-65 responding.

871
00:50:37,334 --> 00:50:39,202
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

872
00:50:39,202 --> 00:50:40,003
What are--
whoa, Jane, Jane.

873
00:50:40,337 --> 00:50:41,505
What are-- what are you doing?

874
00:50:41,805 --> 00:50:43,373
I'll be right back.
We'll finish.

875
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,043
We have a deadline, we got--
we got a trip coming up.

876
00:50:46,476 --> 00:50:48,011
You resent this, don't you?

877
00:50:48,011 --> 00:50:49,479
Oh, okay.
No, you do.

878
00:50:49,479 --> 00:50:51,715
The intrusion of other
people's emergencies.

879
00:50:51,715 --> 00:50:54,651
Well, yeah... when we sort of
have one of our own, right.

880
00:50:54,651 --> 00:50:57,254
This isn't just about
you anymore, Michael.

881
00:50:57,254 --> 00:50:58,288
Thank God.

882
00:50:58,555 --> 00:51:01,992
No, it's about our work,
which is us,

883
00:51:02,259 --> 00:51:04,094
which you aren't
doing anymore,

884
00:51:04,094 --> 00:51:06,229
because being an EMT is...

885
00:51:06,229 --> 00:51:08,131
I mean, how can saving lives
even begin to compare

886
00:51:08,131 --> 00:51:09,699
with writing about chili?

887
00:51:10,133 --> 00:51:12,936
Go ahead.
Go ahead, Jane.

888
00:51:13,236 --> 00:51:14,805
Go be a hero.

889
00:51:14,805 --> 00:51:16,840
This is so idiotic.

890
00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:19,543
What are you
even talking about?

891
00:51:20,377 --> 00:51:22,779
I can't even tell what
you're talking about!

892
00:51:24,314 --> 00:51:25,782
I know you can't.

893
00:51:27,084 --> 00:51:28,785
God!

894
00:51:28,785 --> 00:51:29,920
Oh, Jane!

895
00:51:39,362 --> 00:51:41,498
In the beginning,
when the radio tone

896
00:51:41,498 --> 00:51:43,633
would go off,
I'd get terrified

897
00:51:43,633 --> 00:51:48,405
before I'd pull it together
and say, "I'm okay, it's okay,"

898
00:51:48,405 --> 00:51:50,540
because you never know
what horrors you'll find

899
00:51:50,540 --> 00:51:52,309
behind those strange doors.

900
00:51:52,742 --> 00:51:56,279
This time,
it was my own guest room.

901
00:52:02,018 --> 00:52:04,121
Michael?

902
00:52:06,490 --> 00:52:08,492
Think I'm coming down
with something.

903
00:52:11,361 --> 00:52:14,464
Well, I'll keep
the radio on low.

904
00:52:14,464 --> 00:52:17,300
No, I just need to...

905
00:52:17,300 --> 00:52:19,302
I just need
a good night's sleep.

906
00:52:21,037 --> 00:52:24,107
I'll be okay.

907
00:53:12,556 --> 00:53:14,558
Are you feeling any better?

908
00:53:14,991 --> 00:53:16,793
Yeah.

909
00:53:16,793 --> 00:53:18,562
I'm gonna go
to my meeting.

910
00:53:19,029 --> 00:53:21,231
See you around noon.

911
00:53:37,847 --> 00:53:40,584
Oh, Jane.

912
00:54:05,008 --> 00:54:06,876
Has Michael been here?

913
00:54:07,177 --> 00:54:09,512
He came and he went.
You missed him.

914
00:54:11,715 --> 00:54:14,784
You two haven't been
around here much lately.

915
00:54:14,784 --> 00:54:16,753
Not together.

916
00:54:16,753 --> 00:54:19,122
Whoa!

917
00:54:19,122 --> 00:54:22,292
I haven't been able to keep
much of a schedule these days.

918
00:54:27,597 --> 00:54:29,899
Yeah, horses need that.

919
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:32,269
Yeah, people too.

920
00:54:32,669 --> 00:54:36,439
Well, everybody's different.
They need different things.

921
00:54:38,275 --> 00:54:40,577
Sometimes, they just
don't know it.

922
00:54:43,046 --> 00:54:44,981
Seems like you lucked out.

923
00:54:46,182 --> 00:54:48,685
Yeah.

924
00:54:48,685 --> 00:54:51,388
I always dreamed
of having a big family.

925
00:54:51,588 --> 00:54:53,323
Now, I feel like I do.

926
00:54:54,324 --> 00:54:57,794
Whole firehouse
full of 'em.

927
00:55:02,699 --> 00:55:04,467
Vince, hey!

928
00:55:04,467 --> 00:55:05,835
There's Vince and Rosemary.
Hi.

929
00:55:05,835 --> 00:55:07,337
Jules, this was
pretty terrific.

930
00:55:07,337 --> 00:55:08,238
I'm glad I saw you.

931
00:55:08,638 --> 00:55:10,040
Grant and Audrey
say they'll take care

932
00:55:10,307 --> 00:55:12,909
of the photocopying for
the training session on Monday

933
00:55:12,909 --> 00:55:14,277
if we buy the pizza.

934
00:55:14,277 --> 00:55:16,379
Sounds good to me.

935
00:55:16,379 --> 00:55:18,448
Jane.
Hm?

936
00:55:19,683 --> 00:55:22,419
The fish stew was perfection,
I loved it.

937
00:55:22,419 --> 00:55:23,586
Oh...
She really did like it.

938
00:55:23,853 --> 00:55:25,155
I mean, the mussels
and the clams

939
00:55:25,355 --> 00:55:26,523
and the shrimp
and the scallops,

940
00:55:26,856 --> 00:55:28,825
I mean, there was, like,
every kind of fish in there.

941
00:55:28,825 --> 00:55:31,161
It was absolutely amazing.
And the stock!

942
00:55:31,161 --> 00:55:32,829
It's an old family recipe.

943
00:55:33,096 --> 00:55:36,066
Its secret... at the end,
a stir of brandy.

944
00:55:36,066 --> 00:55:37,200
Brandy?
Ah.

945
00:55:37,634 --> 00:55:40,070
I am in the restaurant
business all my life,

946
00:55:40,070 --> 00:55:43,873
and I believe our fish stew
beats any fish stew anywhere.

947
00:55:43,873 --> 00:55:45,542
Great with French bread
there, Jules.

948
00:55:45,542 --> 00:55:47,143
Michael's a big dunker.

949
00:55:47,143 --> 00:55:48,845
Thanks.

950
00:55:48,845 --> 00:55:50,613
Merci.

951
00:55:54,217 --> 00:55:55,652
Great place, huh?

952
00:55:56,019 --> 00:55:57,620
I'd like to stop
at that firehouse

953
00:55:57,620 --> 00:55:59,222
we passed coming into town.

954
00:55:59,222 --> 00:56:01,658
Why, do you know them?
No.

955
00:56:01,658 --> 00:56:04,894
I just wanna get
a picture out front.

956
00:56:05,128 --> 00:56:07,130
Wherever we travel to
across the country,

957
00:56:07,130 --> 00:56:09,532
you always have to
check out all the AA meetings.

958
00:56:09,532 --> 00:56:11,167
That's different.
Yeah?

959
00:56:11,434 --> 00:56:13,403
How?
Look, we have some revisions

960
00:56:13,403 --> 00:56:14,504
we have to make
this afternoon.

961
00:56:14,904 --> 00:56:17,340
Jane, we're seeing Sarah
in New York on Thursday.

962
00:56:17,340 --> 00:56:18,308
We need to reschedule that.

963
00:56:18,708 --> 00:56:20,276
She thinks
she's getting the book.

964
00:56:20,677 --> 00:56:21,811
You-- you've been working
on it, haven't you?

965
00:56:22,011 --> 00:56:23,413
It's gonna be ready, isn't it?
I hope.

966
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:25,715
Wait, wait, wait.
Jane, look.

967
00:56:25,715 --> 00:56:26,916
Why don't you just
give me what you've done

968
00:56:26,916 --> 00:56:28,017
and I'll finish the rest?

969
00:56:28,451 --> 00:56:30,053
No!
I'm doing all the work anyway

970
00:56:30,053 --> 00:56:31,921
while you're out
on the fire truck.

971
00:56:32,222 --> 00:56:33,590
That's not exactly fair.

972
00:56:33,590 --> 00:56:34,758
You bet it isn't.

973
00:56:35,425 --> 00:56:38,161
I can do this, Jane.
Let me just do this,

974
00:56:38,161 --> 00:56:40,230
and let's just stop
all this pretending.

975
00:56:40,230 --> 00:56:41,564
You pompous...

976
00:56:41,564 --> 00:56:43,233
I don't need you anymore.

977
00:56:43,666 --> 00:56:45,602
Not like this.

978
00:56:46,002 --> 00:56:48,271
It's like pulling teeth
to get you to pay attention.

979
00:56:48,271 --> 00:56:51,074
Oh, get over yourself.
You are so full of yourself.

980
00:56:51,074 --> 00:56:52,509
Oh, I... where do you
think you're going?

981
00:56:53,176 --> 00:56:55,245
I'm not getting
in the car with you.
Oh, come on, come on, Jane.

982
00:56:55,245 --> 00:56:56,679
Poor Michael.

983
00:56:56,679 --> 00:56:59,048
All these years
I've been on your back.

984
00:56:59,048 --> 00:57:00,950
Nothing but this
huge neurotic weight

985
00:57:00,950 --> 00:57:03,253
around your neck.
No, no, not all these years.

986
00:57:03,253 --> 00:57:04,487
Just since I've been sober.

987
00:57:04,754 --> 00:57:07,657
And now that I'm not,
you can't handle it.

988
00:57:08,792 --> 00:57:10,326
Now you know
what it feels like.

989
00:57:10,527 --> 00:57:11,761
This is about
getting back at me?

990
00:57:12,195 --> 00:57:15,732
You can't handle that I don't
need you like that anymore.

991
00:57:15,732 --> 00:57:17,734
No! What I can't handle
is the fact

992
00:57:17,734 --> 00:57:19,202
that I've lost
my partner,

993
00:57:19,202 --> 00:57:21,604
and not just
my writing partner.

994
00:57:22,872 --> 00:57:25,909
You're right,
I can't handle that.

995
00:57:42,992 --> 00:57:44,661
Grafton ambulance personnel,

996
00:57:44,661 --> 00:57:46,763
woman needs transport
to hospital,

997
00:57:46,763 --> 00:57:48,498
number six,
Gordon Road.

998
00:57:48,498 --> 00:57:50,533
Oh, Jane!

999
00:57:52,735 --> 00:57:56,639
The AIDS hospice.
I have to go.

1000
00:58:00,610 --> 00:58:02,879
Yeah, I guess you do.

1001
00:58:08,618 --> 00:58:10,620
She had a seizure?

1002
00:58:16,192 --> 00:58:18,595
You don't need that,
nobody here is gonna hurt you.

1003
00:58:18,595 --> 00:58:21,998
Well, it's for the protection
of the patients as well as us.

1004
00:58:22,298 --> 00:58:23,967
Whatever.

1005
00:58:24,267 --> 00:58:28,471
AIDS, TB, thrush, hepatitis.

1006
00:58:28,471 --> 00:58:30,106
Brain surgery?

1007
00:58:32,475 --> 00:58:35,044
She should be dead
ten times over.

1008
00:58:35,044 --> 00:58:36,779
Up here.

1009
00:58:42,752 --> 00:58:47,123
Mavis, Mavis Cotter, 33.

1010
00:58:50,226 --> 00:58:54,564
It's just, uh...
they put hobbies on here.

1011
00:58:56,099 --> 00:58:59,602
Sewing, gospel singing.

1012
00:59:05,508 --> 00:59:07,810
I really like Shirley Caesar.

1013
00:59:10,446 --> 00:59:12,282
I like her too.

1014
00:59:13,750 --> 00:59:18,087
My husband, he likes
the Clark Sisters.

1015
00:59:22,158 --> 00:59:26,729
His name is Michael.
We're writers.

1016
00:59:27,564 --> 00:59:29,966
Both of you are?

1017
00:59:29,966 --> 00:59:33,002
We write together, yeah.

1018
00:59:33,002 --> 00:59:35,872
What about?
Food.

1019
00:59:35,872 --> 00:59:37,507
We've always loved food.

1020
00:59:38,074 --> 00:59:43,746
Discussing it is like
this primal thing with us.

1021
00:59:43,746 --> 00:59:45,982
He's the smartest man
I've ever met.

1022
00:59:47,917 --> 00:59:49,852
I'm very fortunate.

1023
00:59:54,157 --> 00:59:57,527
One of my top-ten wishes
would be to sing

1024
00:59:57,527 --> 00:59:58,995
like Mahalia Jackson.

1025
01:00:06,936 --> 01:00:10,006

01:01:39,896 --> 01:01:43,032
I, uh, left the sections
I finished on your desk.

1040
01:01:43,700 --> 01:01:46,402
I'll wrap up the Great Plains
this afternoon.

1041
01:01:47,103 --> 01:01:48,438
They called from Nicky Rivers.

1042
01:01:48,971 --> 01:01:51,307
They want us in Chicago
on the Fifth for the taping.

1043
01:01:59,482 --> 01:02:01,150
What?

1044
01:02:01,150 --> 01:02:02,752
So, what's the deal?

1045
01:02:03,753 --> 01:02:05,455
Are you staying in there?

1046
01:02:06,723 --> 01:02:09,325
Uh... for now.

1047
01:02:11,828 --> 01:02:15,898
I really think
we should see someone...

1048
01:02:15,898 --> 01:02:19,102
talk to somebody professional.

1049
01:02:20,069 --> 01:02:22,772
Michael.

1050
01:02:22,772 --> 01:02:24,240
This is important.

1051
01:02:26,976 --> 01:02:30,480
I think we should too.

1052
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:39,388
Here, sweet boy.

1053
01:02:39,388 --> 01:02:42,158
You want a little something?
There you go.

1054
01:02:50,299 --> 01:02:51,601
Grafton ambulance personnel,

1055
01:02:51,968 --> 01:02:54,604
baby floating face-down
in swimming pool,

1056
01:02:54,604 --> 01:02:56,672
145 Columbia Heights.

1057
01:02:56,939 --> 01:02:59,442
G-65, G-65 responding.

1058
01:02:59,442 --> 01:03:01,844
Baby floating
in swimming pool.

1059
01:03:01,844 --> 01:03:03,746
Oh, Jane.

1060
01:03:03,746 --> 01:03:06,015
It's terrible.

1061
01:03:11,487 --> 01:03:13,823
My baby.

1062
01:03:13,823 --> 01:03:16,325
What the hell?
A dog?

1063
01:03:16,325 --> 01:03:17,426
Please save him!

1064
01:03:17,693 --> 01:03:20,396
Called 911, said his baby
fell in the pool.

1065
01:03:21,164 --> 01:03:22,665
This mutt weighs a ton.

1066
01:03:23,065 --> 01:03:24,333
When we got here,
he was floundering around.

1067
01:03:24,333 --> 01:03:25,735
He probably had a heart attack.

1068
01:03:26,135 --> 01:03:27,670
I don't know what
we're supposed to do with it.

1069
01:03:27,670 --> 01:03:29,438
We're not gonna put him
in the ambulance.

1070
01:03:29,438 --> 01:03:31,741
Jane, come on,
we called the animal warden.

1071
01:03:32,208 --> 01:03:34,310
Aah!

1072
01:03:37,446 --> 01:03:40,183
You okay?

1073
01:03:41,284 --> 01:03:43,052
Winston!

1074
01:03:54,964 --> 01:03:56,999
What's wrong
with the doggy?

1075
01:03:56,999 --> 01:03:58,901
He's asleep.
He's dead.

1076
01:04:07,643 --> 01:04:09,011
Oh, my God.

1077
01:04:09,011 --> 01:04:10,279
Oh, my God.

1078
01:04:10,279 --> 01:04:11,681
Jane, what are you doing?

1079
01:04:11,681 --> 01:04:13,115
He's alive.

1080
01:04:14,650 --> 01:04:17,787
He's alive.

1081
01:04:17,787 --> 01:04:19,155
He's alive!

1082
01:04:19,155 --> 01:04:20,456
My baby!

1083
01:04:20,656 --> 01:04:21,824
Winston!

1084
01:04:28,097 --> 01:04:32,401
Oh, no, it's Rhonda
from animal control.

1085
01:04:32,401 --> 01:04:33,870
False alarm.

1086
01:04:44,213 --> 01:04:46,415
You sure you don't want
to put something else on?

1087
01:04:46,415 --> 01:04:49,252
No, I'm fine.
It's drying.

1088
01:04:50,119 --> 01:04:51,420
Quite an episode.

1089
01:04:51,854 --> 01:04:55,324
Yeah, there have been many.
Jane saves lives.

1090
01:04:55,591 --> 01:04:57,927
My own.

1091
01:04:58,427 --> 01:05:00,897
I saved my own life
when I became an EMT.

1092
01:05:01,430 --> 01:05:03,633
Michael's angry because
I don't need him

1093
01:05:03,633 --> 01:05:05,101
to prop me up anymore.

1094
01:05:05,835 --> 01:05:06,936
Is that right, Michael?

1095
01:05:07,770 --> 01:05:10,072
Well, I don't really
have this need to have

1096
01:05:10,072 --> 01:05:11,874
someone to take care of,
I never have,

1097
01:05:11,874 --> 01:05:13,109
if that's where
you're headed.

1098
01:05:13,109 --> 01:05:14,443
Where are you headed?

1099
01:05:15,311 --> 01:05:18,681
He doesn't need me anymore.
He thinks I don't need him.

1100
01:05:18,681 --> 01:05:20,683
That's not exactly
how I'd put it.

1101
01:05:21,450 --> 01:05:23,319
Don't you begin
to hate the person

1102
01:05:23,319 --> 01:05:25,988
that you cling to the most,
isn't that true?

1103
01:05:25,988 --> 01:05:27,223
Go to hell!

1104
01:05:27,223 --> 01:05:29,258
You go to hell!

1105
01:05:29,258 --> 01:05:31,661
I hate you so much.

1106
01:05:40,036 --> 01:05:42,338
You know something?

1107
01:05:42,338 --> 01:05:46,275
You would never talk
to Vince Milnik like that.

1108
01:05:46,275 --> 01:05:48,210
You'd treat him with respect.

1109
01:05:49,578 --> 01:05:52,748
And just because we're married,
it doesn't give us license

1110
01:05:52,748 --> 01:05:54,450
to muck all over
each other.

1111
01:06:04,226 --> 01:06:07,730
I first saw Michael
when we were in college.

1112
01:06:07,730 --> 01:06:10,800
I said, "Are you a Scorpio?"

1113
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,002
I knew he was
a Scorpio too.

1114
01:06:15,004 --> 01:06:17,873
We were born one day apart.

1115
01:06:17,873 --> 01:06:20,076
We went to Kenosha,
Wisconsin once

1116
01:06:20,276 --> 01:06:22,945
and had matching Scorpios
tattooed on our legs

1117
01:06:22,945 --> 01:06:25,281
by these Hells Angels guys.

1118
01:06:27,016 --> 01:06:29,018
We've been incredibly close.

1119
01:06:29,018 --> 01:06:30,753
Married 33 years.

1120
01:06:31,053 --> 01:06:32,388
We're acting like we don't
know each other.

1121
01:06:32,388 --> 01:06:34,623
Incredibly close.

1122
01:06:34,623 --> 01:06:36,258
Ever since we started
writing together,

1123
01:06:36,625 --> 01:06:38,861
we've always been a foot away
from each other in the car,

1124
01:06:38,861 --> 01:06:40,496
we have a double byline.

1125
01:06:41,197 --> 01:06:42,832
That constant...

1126
01:06:42,832 --> 01:06:44,266
Michael.

1127
01:06:45,901 --> 01:06:48,637
We don't have any kids,

1128
01:06:48,637 --> 01:06:53,109
and uh... we just have
each other, and the animals.

1129
01:06:53,642 --> 01:06:58,247
And the work...
and I love that.

1130
01:06:59,915 --> 01:07:01,650
I love it too.

1131
01:07:02,918 --> 01:07:04,754
But I don't love it now.

1132
01:07:08,758 --> 01:07:12,261
I don't love it now.

1133
01:07:20,770 --> 01:07:22,571
I got an extra room here.

1134
01:07:26,108 --> 01:07:28,544
I'm just saying,
in a pinch.

1135
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:32,915
For either of you.

1136
01:07:33,449 --> 01:07:36,419
Yeah.
Thanks, Pete.

1137
01:07:36,819 --> 01:07:39,021
Just might take
you up on that.

1138
01:07:40,890 --> 01:07:42,224
I don't know, Pete.

1139
01:07:44,794 --> 01:07:47,496
I try to be...

1140
01:07:47,496 --> 01:07:51,967
you know, encouraging about
all this EMT stuff.

1141
01:07:51,967 --> 01:07:54,637
I just keep coming off
looking like the bad guy.

1142
01:07:55,471 --> 01:07:57,606
If I was you, I'd be
into the scotch by now.

1143
01:07:58,607 --> 01:07:59,742
Yeah, well, that's just it.

1144
01:08:00,009 --> 01:08:02,178
It was good
for all those years.

1145
01:08:02,711 --> 01:08:05,881
It was good for her too 'cause
she knew exactly where I was--

1146
01:08:05,881 --> 01:08:08,951
passed out in the chair.

1147
01:08:09,151 --> 01:08:10,920
But then, I got sober,

1148
01:08:11,754 --> 01:08:14,156
and I wasn't
in the chair anymore.

1149
01:08:15,424 --> 01:08:19,428
I wake up every morning,
I wonder where I've been

1150
01:08:19,428 --> 01:08:21,263
for the last 30 years.

1151
01:08:38,013 --> 01:08:40,616
Jane?
Huh?

1152
01:08:40,616 --> 01:08:41,817
Let me.

1153
01:08:41,817 --> 01:08:42,751
Got enough room?

1154
01:08:46,922 --> 01:08:48,290
Yeah, I got it.

1155
01:08:55,998 --> 01:08:58,067
You're gonna be fine.

1156
01:08:58,067 --> 01:08:58,868
Take it easy.

1157
01:09:01,036 --> 01:09:03,272
That's it,
you'll be fine.

1158
01:09:03,906 --> 01:09:05,674
Here we go,
you'll be fine.
You're all right.

1159
01:09:05,674 --> 01:09:07,176
Yeah, we're gonna
get you to the hospital.

1160
01:09:07,443 --> 01:09:09,211
Sir, I'm just gonna
buckle you in here, okay?

1161
01:09:09,211 --> 01:09:11,180
Okay.

1162
01:09:23,826 --> 01:09:25,227
Hello?

1163
01:09:25,227 --> 01:09:27,496
Jane, it's Audrey.

1164
01:09:27,496 --> 01:09:30,232
You seemed a little
out of it.

1165
01:09:30,666 --> 01:09:34,570
I'm sorry, I just had
to come home and lie down.

1166
01:09:34,570 --> 01:09:36,906
I was feeling
a little w-weird.

1167
01:09:37,106 --> 01:09:38,874
Jane, are you okay?

1168
01:09:40,609 --> 01:09:42,678
No.

1169
01:09:43,579 --> 01:09:46,715
Careful...
'cause I will burn you.

1170
01:09:47,383 --> 01:09:49,585
I know a good EMT.

1171
01:09:54,290 --> 01:09:56,358
I cry all the time.

1172
01:09:59,862 --> 01:10:03,966
In the car,
Michael drives and I cry.

1173
01:10:04,967 --> 01:10:09,071
I cry every time I see
couples our age together.

1174
01:10:10,072 --> 01:10:14,376
Every restaurant we go into,
every motel room...

1175
01:10:15,177 --> 01:10:16,579
I'm crying.

1176
01:10:17,546 --> 01:10:20,282
Every couple
goes through this.

1177
01:10:20,282 --> 01:10:22,418
I mean, you stay together
this long...

1178
01:10:22,418 --> 01:10:24,520
Yeah, yeah,
I know all that.

1179
01:10:25,054 --> 01:10:26,855
I've seen those movies too.

1180
01:10:28,424 --> 01:10:30,626
It's just that
Michael and I...

1181
01:10:31,126 --> 01:10:36,265
I love him, and he says
he loves me too.

1182
01:10:39,368 --> 01:10:41,503
We just don't like each other.

1183
01:10:45,474 --> 01:10:48,744
God, I hope this is nerves
and not Parkinson's.

1184
01:11:05,828 --> 01:11:08,530
And we're back with Jane
and Michael Stern.

1185
01:11:08,530 --> 01:11:11,333
Okay, Jane, Michael, tell me,
do you ever have time

1186
01:11:11,333 --> 01:11:12,935
to just stay home and cook?

1187
01:11:12,935 --> 01:11:15,237
Yeah, people think we live
out of doggy bags,

1188
01:11:15,237 --> 01:11:18,240
but when we're not on the road,
we're very passionate cooks,

1189
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:19,875
and we're passionate
about kitchenware as well.

1190
01:11:20,142 --> 01:11:23,045
Oh, are there pieces
you just can't live without?

1191
01:11:23,045 --> 01:11:25,247
Well, my favorite thing
I have to have

1192
01:11:25,247 --> 01:11:27,049
is a really good
cheese grater.

1193
01:11:27,049 --> 01:11:28,917
Okay, tell me,
what kind do you like?

1194
01:11:28,917 --> 01:11:30,719
Well, Jane and I actually
have a battle royal

1195
01:11:30,719 --> 01:11:32,788
going on about cheese graters,
we each have our own.

1196
01:11:32,788 --> 01:11:34,490
Yeah, Michael hides
his cheese grater.

1197
01:11:34,490 --> 01:11:35,924
That's because you don't
clean yours properly.

1198
01:11:35,924 --> 01:11:36,358
Really?

1199
01:11:36,825 --> 01:11:38,927
Jane prefers
the boxy type.

1200
01:11:38,927 --> 01:11:40,729
I'm so humiliated!

1201
01:11:40,729 --> 01:11:43,165
I have this great
fabulous flat one.

1202
01:11:43,165 --> 01:11:45,567
It's old, I love it, I know
exactly how to hold the cheese.

1203
01:11:45,567 --> 01:11:46,268
Yeah, Michael is anal retentive.

1204
01:11:46,835 --> 01:11:48,404
He hides
his cheese grater.

1205
01:11:48,404 --> 01:11:49,838
He thinks I don't know this,

1206
01:11:50,372 --> 01:11:51,874
but the cheese grater
and his coffee beans...
Uh-uh, not true.

1207
01:11:52,274 --> 01:11:53,475
...are hidden somewhere where
he thinks I don't know

1208
01:11:53,475 --> 01:11:54,243
where they are.

1209
01:11:54,710 --> 01:11:56,145
Oh, I think I've struck
a nerve here!

1210
01:11:56,378 --> 01:11:57,046
Yeah, this naturally
leads me to talking

1211
01:11:57,479 --> 01:11:58,347
about the knives that we own.

1212
01:11:58,881 --> 01:12:00,049
Yes, well, I don't
like you thinking

1213
01:12:00,616 --> 01:12:01,750
about knives, Michael,
when you're annoyed

1214
01:12:01,750 --> 01:12:03,052
with my kitchen habits.

1215
01:12:03,852 --> 01:12:06,155
I think I'm gonna have to see
about getting a group rate

1216
01:12:06,155 --> 01:12:07,489
on a marriage counselor.

1217
01:12:07,489 --> 01:12:08,857
I think so too.

1218
01:12:10,192 --> 01:12:11,427
Oh!

1219
01:12:13,829 --> 01:12:14,797
Whoo!

1220
01:12:19,034 --> 01:12:20,969
- Nicky?
- Tristan...

1221
01:12:20,969 --> 01:12:22,738
That was great.
You're terrific.

1222
01:12:22,738 --> 01:12:23,839
I had a ball.
I know.

1223
01:12:24,106 --> 01:12:25,307
Thank you very much.
Good to see you.

1224
01:12:25,307 --> 01:12:26,342
Appreciate it.

1225
01:12:27,710 --> 01:12:30,746
God, that was...
that was amazing.

1226
01:12:30,746 --> 01:12:32,381
I know.
Yeah.

1227
01:12:33,015 --> 01:12:34,750
Even now, hm?

1228
01:12:34,750 --> 01:12:36,652
Michael?
Hi.

1229
01:12:36,652 --> 01:12:39,388
I've got the information
on that barbecue place.

1230
01:12:45,327 --> 01:12:47,863
What time is the flight?

1231
01:12:47,863 --> 01:12:49,665
3:16.

1232
01:12:49,665 --> 01:12:52,868
Why can't they just call it
3:15 or 3:20?

1233
01:12:54,236 --> 01:12:57,239
Is there a stop?
Non-stop.

1234
01:12:57,239 --> 01:12:58,874
What time do we get home?

1235
01:12:58,874 --> 01:13:01,877
5:30.

1236
01:13:01,877 --> 01:13:04,413
What did you mean
when you said "even now?"

1237
01:13:05,481 --> 01:13:07,616
It was amazing, "even now."

1238
01:13:09,151 --> 01:13:11,120
With everything falling apart.

1239
01:13:14,256 --> 01:13:15,991
I'm so afraid.

1240
01:13:15,991 --> 01:13:19,561
Jane, we're only gonna
be in the air for an hour.

1241
01:13:22,498 --> 01:13:25,334
I'm afraid nothing
can be the same again...

1242
01:13:26,368 --> 01:13:31,140
that we aren't gonna be Jane
and Michael Stern anymore.

1243
01:13:55,264 --> 01:13:58,200
With everything that gets
splattered or sneezed on me,

1244
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:02,504
I could get AIDS or
SARS or the flu or...

1245
01:14:02,771 --> 01:14:05,741
This is 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.

1246
01:14:05,741 --> 01:14:07,776
There are times
when I ask myself why,

1247
01:14:07,776 --> 01:14:09,344
why am I doing this?

1248
01:14:09,344 --> 01:14:11,980
I mean, I became an EMT
because I thought

1249
01:14:11,980 --> 01:14:13,382
it would be a way
to get out of my head

1250
01:14:13,849 --> 01:14:15,784
and force me to think about
other people's problems.

1251
01:14:15,784 --> 01:14:17,953
But it's not working anymore,

1252
01:14:17,953 --> 01:14:21,290
and-- and I'm--
I'm letting Michael down.

1253
01:14:21,290 --> 01:14:22,724
The better I get at this...

1254
01:14:23,225 --> 01:14:25,294
I don't know what
to do except quit.

1255
01:14:25,294 --> 01:14:27,996
You exhaust the hell
out of me.

1256
01:14:27,996 --> 01:14:30,299
Mm.

1257
01:14:30,299 --> 01:14:32,701
I exhaust me too sometimes.

1258
01:14:33,368 --> 01:14:34,603
Just ease up.

1259
01:14:34,870 --> 01:14:36,939
You don't have to go out
on every call.

1260
01:14:38,207 --> 01:14:40,442
You know, when I first
met you, I thought, oh,

1261
01:14:40,442 --> 01:14:43,946
here we go,
another damn do-gooder.

1262
01:14:44,546 --> 01:14:46,315
I was so scared of you.

1263
01:14:46,648 --> 01:14:49,785
You mean,
you're not anymore?

1264
01:14:49,785 --> 01:14:52,287
I thought that you'd be
the last person on Earth

1265
01:14:52,287 --> 01:14:54,656
to stick it out.
Me too.

1266
01:14:54,656 --> 01:14:58,494
But you did.
I know one thing.

1267
01:14:58,794 --> 01:15:01,263
If I was ever trapped
in a burning building,

1268
01:15:01,997 --> 01:15:06,668
I could count on you to run
in there and get me.

1269
01:15:17,746 --> 01:15:19,348
Did I wake you?

1270
01:15:19,348 --> 01:15:21,049
No, no.
No, I was awake.

1271
01:15:24,653 --> 01:15:27,890
What you're saying is you don't
wanna be married to me anymore.

1272
01:15:28,257 --> 01:15:31,426
I love you, Jane.

1273
01:15:31,827 --> 01:15:33,262
I'll always love you.

1274
01:15:34,162 --> 01:15:36,765
But you don't wanna be
married to me anymore.

1275
01:15:42,437 --> 01:15:44,840
Okay.

1276
01:15:45,274 --> 01:15:46,575
Jane.
Enough.

1277
01:15:48,544 --> 01:15:50,045
What do we do?

1278
01:15:51,313 --> 01:15:52,414
I mean, I know what we do,

1279
01:15:52,814 --> 01:15:55,017
but what do we do
about our work?

1280
01:15:59,321 --> 01:16:03,191
Michael... if we're
that miserable...

1281
01:16:03,725 --> 01:16:05,193
I don't know
what I am anymore.

1282
01:16:05,394 --> 01:16:08,130
We're incredibly miserable
with each other,

1283
01:16:08,997 --> 01:16:12,601
and we both know
that this is it for us.

1284
01:16:12,601 --> 01:16:14,736
We both know.

1285
01:16:19,675 --> 01:16:21,843
Pete has a spare room.

1286
01:16:23,579 --> 01:16:25,881
I know.

1287
01:16:27,583 --> 01:16:30,852
There's an apartment for rent
behind Milnik's garage.

1288
01:16:31,620 --> 01:16:33,188
I know that too.

1289
01:16:35,824 --> 01:16:38,360
We worked so hard
for this place.

1290
01:16:39,227 --> 01:16:41,096
I hate the thought
of leaving it.

1291
01:16:43,832 --> 01:16:46,268
Well, you know, we...

1292
01:16:46,268 --> 01:16:49,471
we have, uh,
certain obligations to work,

1293
01:16:49,471 --> 01:16:52,074
and I-- you know, I don't--
I don't see that...

1294
01:16:56,044 --> 01:16:58,981
I'm sorry.

1295
01:17:09,391 --> 01:17:11,293
You know... maybe...

1296
01:17:11,293 --> 01:17:16,031
maybe we can get little houses
next to each other, huh?

1297
01:17:19,301 --> 01:17:22,804
I wonder what it would take
to wall this place in half.

1298
01:17:28,844 --> 01:17:32,748
Well, we, uh...

1299
01:17:32,748 --> 01:17:35,384
we don't have to figure
everything out tonight.

1300
01:17:51,166 --> 01:17:52,934
I know what's gonna happen.

1301
01:17:53,935 --> 01:17:56,905
You're gonna end up
out back of Milnik's garage.

1302
01:18:23,165 --> 01:18:26,902
Motion was passed
that the 75th anniversary

1303
01:18:26,902 --> 01:18:29,738
of the Grafton Volunteer
Fire Company

1304
01:18:29,738 --> 01:18:31,807
would be held on June 23rd.

1305
01:18:31,807 --> 01:18:34,509
That's Greg's birthday for any
of you who don't know already.

1306
01:18:35,911 --> 01:18:38,113
Parade at 3:00 following
the chili cook-off

1307
01:18:38,113 --> 01:18:39,548
with celebrity judges.

1308
01:18:39,815 --> 01:18:42,017
Listen, I hope we don't have
any unfortunate incidents

1309
01:18:42,017 --> 01:18:43,318
like last year.

1310
01:18:43,685 --> 01:18:46,054
I mean, who would've known
that a gas barbecue

1311
01:18:46,054 --> 01:18:47,823
could cause that much damage.

1312
01:18:49,257 --> 01:18:53,462
Young lady?
I wanna talk to you.

1313
01:18:55,163 --> 01:18:56,398
Two things.

1314
01:18:56,698 --> 01:18:58,033
What did I do?

1315
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,036
Uh, we were wondering
about asking Michael

1316
01:19:01,036 --> 01:19:03,605
to be a celebrity judge
at the chili cook-off.

1317
01:19:03,605 --> 01:19:04,840
What do you think?
Oh.

1318
01:19:05,273 --> 01:19:08,410
Audrey says that the two of you
wrote a book about chili.

1319
01:19:08,610 --> 01:19:11,446
Yeah, we did.
It's called "Chili Nation".

1320
01:19:11,446 --> 01:19:15,016
Ah.
Um...

1321
01:19:15,350 --> 01:19:16,251
I could ask him.

1322
01:19:16,251 --> 01:19:17,619
Good, good.

1323
01:19:17,619 --> 01:19:21,123
Uh, now, second thing.

1324
01:19:21,123 --> 01:19:24,359
You're not still considering
quitting, are you?

1325
01:19:24,359 --> 01:19:25,861
Every day.

1326
01:19:26,061 --> 01:19:27,729
We were wondering
if you'd take over

1327
01:19:27,729 --> 01:19:29,064
as firehouse secretary.

1328
01:19:29,064 --> 01:19:31,500
Ken Rapp's term is up.

1329
01:19:31,500 --> 01:19:32,567
Me?

1330
01:19:32,834 --> 01:19:34,936
You write every damn thing
down anyway,

1331
01:19:34,936 --> 01:19:36,705
you never miss a meeting.

1332
01:19:36,705 --> 01:19:38,540
Might as well
put you to work.

1333
01:19:40,609 --> 01:19:42,844
Now, don't start up on me.

1334
01:19:42,844 --> 01:19:45,080
Yes. Absolutely.

1335
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:47,516
I would be
deeply honored.

1336
01:19:48,517 --> 01:19:51,820
All right, then.
I'll talk to the chief.

1337
01:19:54,422 --> 01:19:55,891
Oh!

1338
01:20:01,663 --> 01:20:03,799
Michael?

1339
01:20:06,468 --> 01:20:08,036
I'm on my way now.

1340
01:20:19,948 --> 01:20:22,851
Michael, what happened?

1341
01:20:23,385 --> 01:20:26,521
He was, uh...
he was in the barn

1342
01:20:27,155 --> 01:20:29,558
and he was cleaning out
the stalls.

1343
01:20:29,858 --> 01:20:33,862
And, uh...
his brain hemorrhaged.

1344
01:20:33,862 --> 01:20:37,332
He had a massive stroke.

1345
01:21:46,301 --> 01:21:49,404
People have shown up
all morning just to help out.

1346
01:21:51,039 --> 01:21:53,174
I keep expecting to see
him sitting there

1347
01:21:53,174 --> 01:21:56,144
like he always is when
you come in from the ride.

1348
01:21:56,144 --> 01:21:58,079
He's always there.

1349
01:22:11,026 --> 01:22:14,329
Taught me everything
I know about riding.

1350
01:22:18,166 --> 01:22:20,335
About everything.

1351
01:22:26,841 --> 01:22:28,443
I know he did.

1352
01:22:36,618 --> 01:22:39,421
I don't know what to do.

1353
01:22:42,290 --> 01:22:45,560
I don't know
what to do for him.

1354
01:23:11,686 --> 01:23:14,322
You know, the other day,

1355
01:23:14,322 --> 01:23:16,291
we were talking about
what we were gonna do

1356
01:23:16,291 --> 01:23:19,227
and our-- our logistics.

1357
01:23:23,231 --> 01:23:25,467
I couldn't stand
the thought of losing you.

1358
01:23:27,235 --> 01:23:30,638
I went upstairs, and I had
this picture of you

1359
01:23:30,638 --> 01:23:32,640
in my head
as a little girl.

1360
01:23:34,409 --> 01:23:35,543
No, I didn't
mean it like that.

1361
01:23:35,810 --> 01:23:37,312
That-- that sounds stupid.

1362
01:23:37,312 --> 01:23:38,847
No, it doesn't.

1363
01:23:39,547 --> 01:23:43,284
No, it...
what I meant was...

1364
01:23:44,619 --> 01:23:48,957
I saw myself as the same,
as not a bad person.

1365
01:23:49,691 --> 01:23:54,095
And... I know that
you're not a bad person.

1366
01:23:55,363 --> 01:23:58,800
And I know that you wanna be
a good person with me too.

1367
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:02,370
And I... I want that too.

1368
01:24:02,670 --> 01:24:05,640
Michael...

1369
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:08,777
I felt the same way too.
I don't wanna lose you.

1370
01:24:12,380 --> 01:24:15,183
You know, I-- I guess
what I had...

1371
01:24:16,217 --> 01:24:19,187
were these feelings
for our relationship.

1372
01:24:22,857 --> 01:24:25,093
And, uh...

1373
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:27,595
when you looked at me,

1374
01:24:27,595 --> 01:24:30,265
I knew I could
never leave you.

1375
01:24:30,265 --> 01:24:32,267
As horrible as it's been?

1376
01:24:32,267 --> 01:24:32,534
Yeah, as horrible
as it's been.

1377
01:24:36,037 --> 01:24:38,106
It's not worth
throwing away.

1378
01:24:39,774 --> 01:24:42,577
There's something
really worth saving here.

1379
01:24:49,984 --> 01:24:51,653
We've been eating at Mom's.

1380
01:24:51,653 --> 01:24:53,421
Actually,
it's called Mother's.

1381
01:24:53,421 --> 01:24:55,490
It's one of our favorite
restaurants in New Orleans.

1382
01:24:55,490 --> 01:24:56,958
Well, it sure ain't
my mother's home cooking.

1383
01:24:56,958 --> 01:24:58,560
I wish my mother
had cooked like this.

1384
01:24:58,827 --> 01:25:01,196
My mother unfortunately
was not a soul food cook,

1385
01:25:01,196 --> 01:25:04,632
and this is great New Orleans
soul food at its best.

1386
01:25:04,632 --> 01:25:07,402
Which means
red beans and rice,

1387
01:25:07,402 --> 01:25:10,939
a length of really,
wonderfully-taut sausage...

1388
01:25:10,939 --> 01:25:12,640
Since I was a little girl,

1389
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:14,642
I'd been afraid
of losing people.

1390
01:25:14,642 --> 01:25:17,445
The fact is,
one way or the other,

1391
01:25:17,445 --> 01:25:18,913
eventually, you just do.

1392
01:25:18,913 --> 01:25:19,447
As a working person's café...

1393
01:25:20,648 --> 01:25:23,451
The thought of losing Michael
frightened me so much

1394
01:25:23,451 --> 01:25:25,153
that I almost did lose him.

1395
01:25:25,553 --> 01:25:28,656
But in the end,
figuring out how to be together

1396
01:25:28,656 --> 01:25:31,960
and still allow each other
our own separate lives

1397
01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:33,728
made us even closer.

1398
01:25:37,899 --> 01:25:41,936
At the last meeting for the
Grafton Volunteer Fire Company,

1399
01:25:41,936 --> 01:25:43,338
the meeting came to order...

1400
01:25:43,338 --> 01:25:45,340
I also learned
something else.

1401
01:25:46,007 --> 01:25:48,743
Becoming part of
a firehouse and working

1402
01:25:48,743 --> 01:25:50,812
side-by-side with
the men and women

1403
01:25:50,812 --> 01:25:53,448

Fire Department

1404
01:25:53,448 --> 01:25:55,884
was the hardest thing
I've ever done,

1405
01:25:56,184 --> 01:25:57,752
and the most rewarding.

1406
01:25:59,721 --> 01:26:01,256
And it helped me figure out

1407
01:26:01,589 --> 01:26:04,526
something really interesting
about fear.

1408
01:26:05,593 --> 01:26:07,996
Fear is like a hologram.

1409
01:26:08,663 --> 01:26:12,167
It seems real,
filled with substance.

1410
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:14,769
And then, when you go
beyond it,

1411
01:26:14,769 --> 01:26:19,107
you realize
it's just an illusion.
