Original subtitles

Shirley, open up the Cabinet for me will you, please?

Previously on St Elsewhere...

I never should have released drugs to without a prescription.

I'd like you to come up and work on this floor.

I'm being punished so you look good.

I think I'm...

In love?

You're going to want me to have kids.

Victor, I'm afraid I'm confused.

Watch this, just broke into your computer.

This man has access to all our records,

accounting, maintenance, patient files, you name it.

Tonight, on St Elsewhere...

Any news of Dr Craig?

No, nothing, I called the state police.

Dr Craig! Frostbite.

Lancaster suspects some genius entered his programme

into our system.

Sorry, Mr Jeffries, almost done.

Fishing trip's going to be a heap a lot harder with just one leg.

You can do it.

When I came back later to check his vital signs he was cold.

It was probably a reaction to the Demerol,

why wasn't that noted in the computer?

He's proposing marriage to you.

I accept.

So do I.

Mazel tov.

CREAKING

Nine inches at Logan airport.

16 inches at Bluehills Conservatory.

No letup in sight.

PHONE RINGS

Unless you absolutely must travel today, don't.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Donald. How do you like the weather?

Uh huh.

No, he's getting dressed.

You're kidding!

Nothing like arriving in style.

Sure, I'll let him know.

OK, bye-bye.

Ellen, Sam's fireplace is filled with snow.

I noticed, I noticed.

Meaning you forgot to close the damper.

We've been through this before.

Not only is it messy, it sends the heating bills sky-high.

Well, you're the one that wanted a nice, roaring fire.

That's last night, and just coffee.

Did you hear the weather report?

It's the worst storm in six years,

it's about a foot and a half in some places.

Why don't you stay home today?

Because I've got two angina patients waiting for me at St Eligius.

Well, according to the radio, all the streets are in lousy shape.

That's news? They hadn't been in good shape since Eisenhower.

Donald Westphall called,

said the city had arranged for an army truck to pick you doctors up,

it's going to be here about 10.30.

Now, that's almost two hours from now,

the last time I wrote a convoy was Korea, 1952.

Not an experience I want to repeat.

I'll drive.

Well, at least call me when you get there.

DOOR SLAMS

So I won't worry.

Look at her, I've never been so torn up over anyone before.

You Americans always stress the physical, give the metaphysical try.

Like what, read the I Ching together?

No, no, no.

The Great Mandala is hovering.

Mutual happiness can be yours, the karma is right.

It is, are you serious?

Yes.

OK, OK, buddy. Here goes.

Roberta, let's have lunch.

Victor, I can't. I'm working.

But it's my treat, honey,

and besides, besides, the Great Mandala is ours.

Pardon me?

Our mutual true being, we can be so happy.

Victor, how can you say that?

Whenever we're together I make you crazy.

OK, but now the karma is totally right.

Victor, I haven't understood a single word you've said.

Now, is that any basis for a relationship?

Dr Weiss is right, bye.

Weiss, if Weiss knew everything he wouldn't be working here.

And you, thanks a lot, pal,

I hope your karma gets stuck in the parking lot.

What?

OK, now, take it easy, take it easy, watch your leg.

OK, put your weight on me, easy.

Oh, you're on my foot, you're on my foot.

Oh, sorry about that.

You gaining weight?

Yeah.

Ah, you see, there's nothing to it.

It was a lot easier at your place.

Well, you're the one who dragged me to the hospital.

You think I get commission on every patient I collect?

Your leg was getting worse,

cellulitis is nothing to fool around with, you had to come in.

I didn't get out of bed just to sit around here all day. Let's go.

I shouldn't be doing this, you're supposed to lie still.

And stay cooped up in this room?

Harrison, it's only been two days.

Well, it seems a whole lot longer than that to me.

Oh, boy, if Dr Armstrong catches me

I'm going to be head of the bed pan collection.

Now, you warm enough?

Yeah.

And you sure your leg doesn't hurt?

I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.

That snow out there is something, isn't it? Wish I was out there in it.

Harrison, that's not a couple of snowflakes, it's a blizzard.

You sound just like your dad,

the moment winter come he wanted to hibernate too.

And he was a worry wart.

Oh, so, you saying I complain a lot?

Yesterday you got bent out of shape

cos they wouldn't let you have a day off.

Well, I just wanted to spend it with you.

You spent it with me anyhow.

Luther, where are you going?

Oh, I was looking for you, Dr Armstrong.

Listen, you want you to take Mr Jefferies back to his room now.

Right, right, got you.

Told you she'd find us.

She likes me, she just hates to admit it.

Hello, Jack.

I know this is a crazy day, what with the blizzard and all.

What is it?

My parents at me to come home and visit for a while.

Good idea, I think you should.

You know, you've been so good about rearranging things,

I don't want to cause any more trouble with my schedule.

Why don't you let me worry about that, OK?

I haven't been to Seattle for more than a week in the past ten years.

They're dying to see Pete.

Take care of him for a while,

probably do a better job than I have.

Now, come on, you haven't done so badly.

You all right?

Huh?

See you later.

I told you before, Mrs Bastino, the window stays closed.

Now, please, get back into bed, OK?

You doctors are all alike.

I'm a nurse.

Same difference.

Makes you long for the gore of the emergency room, doesn't it?

At least there aren't any windows there.

Look on the bright side, Shirley,

the hearing for's entrapment case comes up next week,

once you're cleared the nursing board will send you back down to ER.

I hope.

Thanks, Mrs Fetachgo, I'll come see you tomorrow, and, uh, stay warm.

You may be right, it's not even the big issue any more,

whether I fail to keep an accurate medication count.

Then what is it?

I did a lot of good work down in ER,

but I get the feeling Helen Rosenthal doesn't remember it.

Well, why don't you talk to her?

You think?

Well, it couldn't hurt.

Morning.

Ah, I don't believe kids nowadays,

I was halfway up Colmar Avenue starting up from the light,

and five of them jumped out and grabbed onto my rear bumper.

It's called sketching, you hang on,

then when the car takes off you slide along your feet.

It's like waterskiing.

I noticed, I turned the corner and they jumped off and slid off.

Looks like fun, if a little dangerous.

Ah, Helen.

What's all this about?

Oh, Lucy was adding to the files last night when it just stopped.

Did anyone think to call Walter Lankau Deficiency Systems?

BOTH: No.

But before the computer quit,

Lucy found these names floating around by themselves,

no records or histories.

Garfield, Wilson, Adams, Grant.

Presidents?

♪ You'll find the sand dunes and salty air

♪ Quaint little villages here and there. ♪

I don't believe this weather.

I don't believe this singing,

I wonder if the sergeant upfront knows where we're going.

See you later.

Bye, ladies.

WOMAN SIGHS

I thought changing the password meant that no hackers could break in

from the outside.

Well, Walter Lankau suspects

that some genius entered his own programme into our system.

Apparently they think it's loads of fun to infiltrate hospitals,

corporations, you name it.

Any chance we can get Lankau over here today?

Oh, no, I don't think so, not with these roads.

Anyway, he said that the only deterrent

is a foolproof security system which runs around $10,000.

Oh, wonderful, why not(?) That's a bargain, right?

I don't know, maybe it was doomed from the beginning.

You're not going to blame it on fate, are you?

I mean, nobody knows if there is such a thing.

Oh, yeah? How many successful relationships you know

that got started during a rinse cycle?

Well, that doesn't necessarily...

No, no, no, hear me out.

This whole romance business is for the birds, OK?

I've made every attempt to be unfettered and un-phoney.

I even hid in her closet until she came home,

then I burst out, completely naked.

Wrong choice, huh?

(SNICKERS) Wrong choice.

Do me one favour, OK? Because I've tried being liberated,

I've played Mr Natural, I've put on the dog.

I even took a shot at proposing.

I screwed all of them up, so will you help?

How?

Talk to Roberta for me, convince her that I really care. Be my middleman.

No, I can't do a thing like that.

Will you talk to Weiss, then, one therapist to another?

That's kosher.

I don't know, I'll...

I'll think that over, OK?

OK.

What, you're leaving?

Well, because of the blizzard, all my sessions are cancelled.

You're lucky, you live only four blocks from here.

My apartment's halfway to Rhode Island.

Slides of your baby?

Hello, Fiscus.

So word has it that you're going to be Cavanero's guest

in the endoscopy suite today.

She said Tony and I could come by and watch.

You don't seem very excited.

Come to think of it,

you've been kind of out in left field lately. What's up?

For the past 20 minutes, I've been hiding in here,

wishing I didn't have to go back out in the hallway.

It's like the rest of the hospital's at 78,

and I'm still at 33-and-a-third.

Jack, it-it takes time to readjust.

How long?

Sometimes I think everything's just slipping through my fingers.

I screw up one case after another. The Brennan kid died,

I blew the diagnosis of Janet Dalton.

I don't know. So many things.

Ah, I gotta go.

You know, it happens to the best of us.

One day I stopped being funny. I'm serious.

I lost my timing, my sick sense of humour, the whole ball of wax.

The pressure was incredible.

I mean, everyone expected me to be zany and I just couldn't do it.

I was too depressed.

So what snapped you out of it?

Luisa Renault.

One afternoon we're all over each other and she stops to ask me

why I find her attractive. So I told her.

"You have great hair."

"You are a very caring person."

And Road And Track voted you best ride in 1971.

I think we should move upstream.

You got to be patient, boy, don't jerk around so much.

Now keep that rod tip up, cos you gonna lose some if you don't.

I don't think there's any fish here, just mosquitoes.

There ain't gonna be no fish here if you don't hush up

and stop scaring them off.

Well, maybe I need a new worm.

(LAUGHS) Worm!

Boy, we're fishing with grasshoppers, that's better bait.

Ah...

You got one, you got one!

I do?

Yeah, you got yourself a bass, that's a ten pounder.

Oh. How big was the biggest one my daddy ever caught?

Oh, your daddy, let's see, he caught a 29, 30 pounder, boy,

but you're talking about somebody that could do some fishing.

He could!

And he didn't want this filament rod or any of that fancy stuff.

Just give him a plain old rod and he'd use that old fishing know-how.

Well, this is at least 30.

All right, but you got to give him room, give him some room,

give him slack now! You're going the wrong...

That's a boy!

Watch my lines!

(LAUGHS) I told you to give him some room, didn't I?

Tough break, Luther.

How are you feeling?

Oh, all right, I suppose.

Any pain in your leg?

Mm, some.

I'm going to have to check the dressing and take another culture.

All right. Do you ever do any fishing, Dr Armstrong?

Once with my brother.

I didn't like it very much.

Well, maybe you never learned how to read the water

and find out where the fishes is! (LAUGHS)

How do you do that?

Oh, you got to use your fish sense.

You see, you got to know what the fish is seeing, hearing

and thinking. Just like I do with my pigeon, Julius.

Soon as the snow falls,

me and this boy here going up to Lake Winnipesaukee

to do some serious fishing. You're welcome to come along,

if you want to. Where's that?

Lake Winnipesaukee? That's the biggest lake in New Hampshire.

(GROANS)

Sorry, Mr Jeffries. I'm almost done.

Finished.

I'll send the nurse down to apply a fresh dressing.

How's it look?

We'll know more when I get the culture results.

Well, is it any better?

The cellulitis isn't too good.

Mr Jeffries, if there's no change in a few days,

we may have to consider what we talked about.

I'll stop by late this afternoon.

Good fishing, huh?

Fishing's trip's going to be... be a lot harder with one leg.

We can do it.

Are you with me, Jack?

Yeah, I think so.

Keep your eyes peeled.

See the GE junction?

Yeah, it's inflamed, isn't it?

Good contractions. No inflammation.

Would you say the stomach is hyperaemic?

Uh-huh.

Yes.

Blood vessels dilated, rugal folds normal.

Considerable scarring in the duodenal bulb.

Any bleeding?

I... don't see any.

Well, minimal.

You're one step closer, Mrs Campion.

Get some rest.

Kyle, I'll be right back. Start withdrawing the tube.

Three days of tests and I still don't have a clue.

Now what?

(SIGHS) Maybe I'll bring Wylie in for a consult.

I'll go to Westphall.

You really want to do that?

What would you suggest? Invent a disease for her?

No.

But don't you want to make the diagnosis on your own?

A little teamwork doesn't hurt.

All that matters is that the patient gets better,

not who gets the credit.

I guess you're right.

There are worse things that can happen than not solving a case

by yourself.

(LAUGHS) Like what?

The roof could cave in.

Sorry I wasn't more help back there.

(MAN ON RADIO) ..in areas far removed from city center,

which is having enough troubles of its own.

Donald!

Hear anything from Mark?

Not yet, but we've got an emergency.

A city bus just skidded on the ice and overturned on the street.

Oh, no.

Most of the passengers are just shook,

but a few have cuts and bruises. This is the nearest shelter,

so they're going to be walking in here any minute.

How many?

I think 30, half of them are kids.

All right, let's put them in the admissions lobby.

We'll need blankets, hot soup.

And I'll check and see how many cots we have.

Thanks.

(MAN ON RADIO) While Boston copes with record snowfalls,

the southern coast of Maine and the Portsmouth area of New Hampshire

are facing highly dangerous roads caused by sleet, snow...

I'm never going to find those records!

Keep trying.

I've got to give my eyes a rest.

Helen, can we talk for a minute?

Yeah, sure, come on in.

What's the matter?

You don't trust me.

Why do you say that?

Just because I didn't keep an accurate medication count one night,

you had me transferred from the ER.

And now you make me stay behind the counter,

so I never get to deal with any patients.

I feel more like a receptionist than anything else.

Just a minute, Shirley, do you want the cold, hard facts?

At the head nurses' meeting,

the majority of them wanted you to go up before the review board.

You know, I almost wish I had.

At least I would've had a chance to defend myself.

Maybe I was wrong to go out on a limb,

but I told them I thought it would be a terrible waste.

So they agreed to let it slide if you came up here.

I'm a good nurse, Helen.

You are. You've just got a lot to learn.

One more question.

Will I ever get to go back to the ER?

Yeah. When you're ready.

TEARING AND CREAKING

RUMBLING

You think the arm's broken?

I hope it's only a sprain. I'd get an AP and lateral on that elbow.

What about her head?

It's going to need stitches, for sure. And a Skull Series.

And I want a neuro check every two hours through the night.

OK. Go easy, fellas. Come on.

Wait till maintenance sees this.

BABY CRYING

OK. Hey, it's OK, it's OK.

I can't find this file for Dr Burke. OK, baby. Ssh.

Here, let me have him, you're doing that all wrong.

Oh, really(?) I have raised kids of my own.

Yeah, but I was the oldest, and I helped raise three sisters

and two brothers. Think we need a little walk.

Yeah. Women think they're the only mothers around.

Come on, Petey.

Ah, here it is!

You're welcome(!)

Helen, could I see Mr Jeffries' old chart, please?

Jeffries, Je... Oh.

Maybe we got lucky and he made it into the computer.

Oh, boy, I have hated this machine from the start,

and it's been downhill ever since.

Here we go, Jeffries, Harrison, what do you want to know?

Any medication allergies?

No.

He still seems to be in pain,

the tablets aren't doing the trick any more.

If he's not resting comfortably in a couple of hours,

I want you to give him 100 milligrams Demerol and 50 of Vistaril IM.

Yeah.

OK. OK.

Thanks.

Welcome.

Victor.

Hello, Victor. Have you seen Dr Craig yet?

Craig's late?

Only about five hours.

Wow, a chink in the old armour. Even the mighty fall.

Now don't gloat. So when's the wedding?

Huh?

You and Roberta. Have you set the date?

I never want to hear the word date again.

Harrison, you awake?

Yeah, come on in.

Ah...

(LAUGHS) Who's this you got here?

It's Pete Morrison. His dad's one of the residents.

Well, come here. You little rascal, you!

Look at you! Tell me something good.

You know I got a grandson who's about your size?

He's back down in Carolina. Huh?

And you know what, he growed up not too far

from where this boy's daddy and I growed up.

Yeah, real mill country.

Oh, boy, me and your daddy used to have some good times.

Yeah. He was quite a guy.

I'll tell you something.

The older you get, the more you miss people.

They die...

a lot of them move away.

They die and they move away.

There you go, you take care of yourself, little fella.

(GROANS)

Too cold?

Yeah, most of the time I get this strange kind of cold, you know?

Yeah, well...

must be nice weather in Carolina all year round.

Now you hush that, boy.

Don't go bringing that up again, because I promised your daddy

the day before he died that I'd keep my eyes on you.

Now if I just upped and went back down south,

who knows what you'd be up to?

Yeah, but you'd always know somehow.

Yeah, but my next birthday, I'll be getting on up there in age.

When you get to a certain point, people stop needing you as much.

I need you.

That's nice.

Say goodbye, Pete.

Bye.

MUSIC PEALS FROM BAR

One sherry.

Thank you.

Excuse me. Does your payphone work?

Not since the '67 Series.

Why, what happened?

The Red Sox lost.

See that guy over there playing pool, Chuck DeMita?

He tore the receiver right off the wall.

Amazing man.

Yeah. Cheers.

Oh, I don't believe it.

Hey, there is fuzz on this table.

No, there's no way my ball misses

unless there's something wrong with this felt.

Hey, you!

What do you say? Fuzz or no fuzz?

Fuzz, definitely.

Hear that, Mara? Third world, he votes for fuzz.

I saw you come in. What, are you stuck or something?

Yes, my wheels are spinning.

Ah. Foreign car, huh?

Hey, you're not Iranian, are you? I mean, that Ayatollah...

Indian.

Oh, good, yeah.

Well, how about a game of three-ball?

Um...

I don't know how to play pool, I'm afraid.

Aw, come on, you gotta try everything once.

Hey, Mara! A round of drinks for me and my buddy here.

Come on, Mrs Pierce.

Stop it.

Oh, what now?

OK. I just typed in Charlene Pierce.

She's in for a hysterectomy.

But these records say she's got a chronic kidney condition.

Well, you sure she wasn't misfiled?

I typed her in myself. OK, wait a minute.

COMPUTER BEEPS

Oh, you're right.

I know Mrs Grant, half of her profile has been deleted.

OK.

No information from this computer is to be considered reliable

until further notice.

How do we manage?

Call the other floors and tell them

to keep records by hand until they hear from us. I'll get Dr Westphall.

HEAVY BREATHING

Fresh air will do you good.

I have such a headache.

Sick people give off fumes.

You got to get a lot of air, let nature take its course.

Like pneumonia?

Oh, you'll feel better in no time.

Believe it or not, they wanted that window closed.

Boy, I hate doctors!

How's our prize casualty?

Normal people have coronaries.

And you get a roof on your head.

Mm.

Actually, this is a professional visit.

First, I'll be covering for you for a few days while you're laid up.

Wayne, that's sweet of you.

I know. And second, I need to do a complete physical,

so if you'll just slip off that nightgown, um...

Drop dead.

You tell him, lady.

Now you know what it's like in the prone position. Just co-operate.

If you try anything...

I'm just going to check your lungs.

Use a stethoscope.

Don't talk, just breathe.

(EXHALES)

Again.

(EXHALES)

And again.

(EXHALES) That's enough.

Your chest is in great shape.

It's my arm that's broken.

Well, one has to be thorough.

Now, if you can just give us a urine sample, please.

My right arm's fine, Fiscus.

As to reflexes...

They're fine too.

Would you like to see where I can put my knee?

You know, you're starting to sound better already.

And you feel good to me too.

Take your stethoscope and go.

Relax, Doctor. Remember, your beeper is in good hands.

Doctor?!

That's right. And don't even touch that window.

CHATTERING

CHILDREN LAUGHING

Oh, did you get those flowers for Dr Cavanero's room?

Yeah. But she was sleeping,

and the other lady in the room was a real pain.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down, son, this isn't the Kentucky Derby.

One. I said one!

Can't you go any faster, Jack?

Guess what I just heard on the radio.

St Eligius is closed.

(SNICKERS) Really(?) Any news of Dr Craig?

No, nothing.

According to police, the problem is that the visibility's down to zero.

We're down to one miserable doughnut.

Joan Halloran's trying to get a truckload of food over,

it should be here soon.

I hope it's nourishing, the last thing these kids need is more sugar.

Anything I can do?

Here. Let me take care of this.

Hey, get down!

No, I want to use your phone!

Hey, hey, all right, knock it off.

He cut in line!

OK. What's the matter?

I want to call home. I just got to try again.

So do I, but I'm not crying about it.

Shut up.

Hey, that's enough.

Come on.

Why don't you take a deep breath and relax?

Slowly.

(EXHALES)

OK, now what's the matter?

I tried to call Mommy and Daddy on the phone.

But there was no answer. And it didn't give my dime back.

And I'm just scared something happened to them.

I'll bet you a dime they're OK.

What's your name?

Tucker.

Ah, it's busy.

Well, we'll wait right here until we reach them.

Really?

Sure, Tucker.

We're all in this together.

I know blizzards are scary, but they got their good sides too.

Most times they bring people together.

Yeah. My dad always shovels Mrs Shivelli's driveway

every time it snows.

Hello, Mom?

Come on, Mrs Parks, be a sport.

Right now, Dr Fiscus, that is the farthest thing from my mind!

You mean to tell me you've never trayed?

I've never even run. Give them back!

Look, I was the 1966 sledding champ of Washington Heights,

but the traying sensation was something else.

It's twice the speed of a sled, you spin around,

there's wind in your ears.

You sound like my husband on the turnpike.

Believe me, children love it

and we've got several thousand in the lobby right now.

If you don't let me have these,

I will send all the kids to the cafeteria.

Oh...

You'll dry my trays off?

I'll even throw in a free check-up.

Just the trays, thank you.

Excuse me. Dr Fiscus.

Hi, Roberta.

Hi. Listen, you know Victor better than anyone, right?

I mean, you lived together and all and...

Look, Dr Ehrlich and I...

This was just between apartments.

Well, but you are friends. I need some advice.

OK.

What's the matter, dear?

I seem to drive Victor crazy.

Maybe it's not you.

Maybe his food groups are unbalanced.

Food groups?

Poor diet can ruin any disposition.

Does Dr Ehrlich eat bacon?

I'm not sure. I mean, we've never really had breakfast together.

Oh, cholesterol is the kiss of death.

Do you eat fruit and vegetables at the same meal?

Sometimes.

That could do it, that could do it.

Some are incompatible.

Like... like Victor and me.

If you want to be happy, eat right or eat out.

I see.

Well...

thank you.

Glad she took my advice.

Don't you lose my trays!

See, the problem with cowboy pool is once you hit 45,

then you can't sink your own ball. So now you gotta go for billiards.

I remember once in '75, I was playing Spud Simpkins.

Spud says to me, he says, "Goopy..."

My name is Chuck, but my friends, they call me Goopy.

What do they call you?

Oh, Vijay Kochar.

Oh, yeah(!) What does the VJ stand for?

Um, Virendra Kumar...

Oh, yeah.

Anyway, back in '72, Goopy...

Hey, we need some help here!

CHATTERING

Dr Craig.

You know this guy?

Yes. We work together. St Eligius. I know him well.

You're a doctor?

Out of the way, please.

Extremities too cold.

Frostbite.

Hypothermia. You did well to bring him in here.

Kochar?

What happened, Jay?

His car was wrapped around a light pole down the block.

He must've been out cold a long time.

Don't worry, Dr Craig, you're going to be all right.

(GROANS)

Your breath's terrible.

Whisky, please.

Thank you.

Dr Craig?

Just enough, please. Come.

(COUGHS)

Thank you.

Excuse me.

What the hell's he doing?

Dr Craig, listen to me.

Rest your feet on my stomach.

Kochar...

you're drunk.

It is the warmest part of my body, you must save your toes.

So do as I say. Please.

Come on.

What happened?

Mr Jeffries woke at 5:40 and said he was in pain.

I gave him 100 milligrams of Demerol and 50 of Vistaril,

as per your instructions.

When I came back a half-hour later to check his vitals,

he was cold.

Then it was probably an allergic reaction to the Demerol.

Why wasn't that allergy noted in the computer?

Because the computer's malfunctioning.

How can you blame the machine, Helen? That's a really lame excuse!

Grant, Charlene Pierce, Garfield. Adams.

Harrison Jeffries.

(WHISTLES)

Si. You're just the man I want to see.

Can it wait, Michael?

My carburettor died on me, I've got an 8:30 session.

It'll only take a minute.

I wanted to ask you some questions about Roberta Sloan.

Are you interested in Roberta?

Very.

Michael, she's been through an awful lot,

I'm not sure she's ready for another relationship.

No, no, not me, it's for Victor Ehrlich.

Oh, him?

Yeah.

If there was ever a guy head-over-heels in love,

it's Ehrlich. Those two are made for each other.

Do you really think so?

Oh, yeah, I'm positive.

Besides, I don't know how many more sessions I can take with him!

You know, Pete...

You and I have got something in common.

I lost my daddy a long time ago.

And you just lost your mom.

Well, when you're on your own...

I don't know.

Maybe I'll still get up to Winnipesaukee.

I can fish pretty good by now.

BABY GURGLES

Yeah.

But maybe...

maybe-Maybe I could still use a couple of lessons.

If you wanted to.

Then...

then I...

Damn.

You sure you don't mind?

No problem, I'll be glad to help.

I just figure Goodwill could use Nina's clothes.

Hey, what time you want me to stop by?

Around noon.

I'll be there.

You'll bring some boxes?

Bye.

Bye-bye. No, as soon as they cleared the street,

they got the bus passengers out of here.

I have never been so glad to see a snow plough in my life.

Ira, how late did Erin stay up?

What? Oh, Ira, she's leading you around by the nose.

OK, I'll see you soon. Bye-bye.

Hello.

Can I help you?

I got your message.

Victor.

You know Dr Weiss.

Yeah, I do. I'm in kind of a hurry.

Dr Ehrlich, be candid.

Is it true that you harbour a fear of authority figures?

This is ridiculous, how much have you told him?

Everything.

I had to, I was abreacting.

You were what?

Releasing tension through verbalising.

What a load of...

Ah-ah. Don't say anything, just answer my questions.

Aren't all of your colourful shirts and ties and surfboards

all part of an elaborate defence mechanism?

Why repress so much, why not give more?

I give plenty.

Ah, yes.

I understand that when you gave blood recently, you passed out.

This is ridiculous, I feel like I'm exposing myself.

Ah. Once was enough.

I don't blame you for your confusion. It's in the genes.

Well, then background does play a role.

Of course.

You're from a main line family, you're upper-class,

you're respectable. He's a...

I'm from California.

I rest my case.

Do you love him in spite of everything?

A lot.

And you?

A hell of a lot.

(LAUGHS) I'm up for it if you are.

Me too.

Up for what?

He's proposing marriage to you.

I accept.

And so do I.

Mazel tov!

You're lucky I don't charge for matchmaking.

It was only supposed to be a game.

I wanted to see how many presidents' names I could find.

There was nothing to do yesterday.

And my school had a snow day.

And my mom wouldn't let me go outside.

Margie...

the names in our computer aren't just words on a screen.

Each one of them represents a real, living person,

people who depend on us to make them well.

In order to do that, we have to keep complete and accurate records.

I got scared.

So I tried to put the names back.

But I got confused.

Margie, I called your parents. They're on their way over here.

And when I get a chance to talk to them,

then we'll see what has to be done.

Did someone really die?

(SOBS) Oh, no, I'm sorry!

(SOBS) I'm sorry.

You took your feet out, Dr Craig.

Where did you put my socks?

25 more minutes.

I don't need a nurse.

Dr Craig, this is more than a medical question.

It is omniscient linking.

Yesterday I gave you the kiss of life.

Wasn't rubbing my toes enough?

I speak metaphorically, of course.

Have you considered that my taking refuge in that low-down dive

was no accident? That it was pre-ordained?

That it was fate that brought you there?

I'm an Episcopalian, Kochar, I don't have time for the occult.

(SIGHS) Very well.

I'm going down to the cafeteria. May I...

No. Just go.

Kochar.

Yes, Dr Craig?

All right, all right.

Get me a roast beef on white, hold the mayo.

Stat.

Yes, sir.

This is everything out of the bedroom.

The day Nina died we were in the middle of...

I said a lot of stupid things.

But not goodbye.

I mean, really say goodbye.

Or thank you...

for coming to Mexico and holding my hand during med school.

She never complained.

And she hated it there.

If I had been a little bit smarter,

I could've gotten into school here in the States.

Jack, you ended up with a residency at St Eligius.

That's not so bad.

Ah, it was a fluke.

What makes you say that?

Because I'm constantly running off to Auschlander or Westphall.

I can't seem to make a diagnosis on my own.

You care more about people than anyone else in the hospital.

Compassion counts as much as anything else.

I think there's more stuff in the hall closet.

I'll get them.

What's this?

Hey.

Look what I found.

It was stuck way back on the shelf.

Now when did she get this?

This is everything.

I don't think I could've done this by myself.

I'm glad I could help out.

Well, thank you.

Guess I'll see you tomorrow.

All right.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Thank you again.

(LAUGHS)
