Original subtitles

Previously on St. Elsewhere.

Does he really think I raped those women? Do you?

Peter, I don't know who to believe.

So we're still on for this evening?

Yeah.

I'm coming up on a birthday and I don't want to face it.

And I don't want to face it with only one breast.

And when can I go back to work?

We'll see. Yeah, but, I promised...

For once, give yourself some time.

This is Paul Revere.

And that is my ailing steed.

Tonight, on St. Elsewhere.

What are you going to do? Scrape the lump off and sew me up?

It's not that simple. &gt.

Your testicle has to be removed.

And what do I tell the next girl I go to bed with?

She won't know.

I'm scared to death.

We need to see if anything's broken, it won't hurt.

Then, can I wear your hat?

My hat?

&lt I'll make you a deal,

we'll do it together.

I hardly know you.

We've been ordered to let White re-join the residency programme.

Peter White is yet to be convicted of a crime.

You step out of line once, I'm going to break you in two.

&lt Argh.

Quite whining, at least they didn't tear up your knee.

Here we go, back to sophomore year, right?

Hey, if it weren't for my knee, I'd have been all Ivy.

Instead, you're all washed up.

When they dragged me off the field and brought me in here.

Yeah. The nurses were weird.

They just stood at the end of the bed.

Not cos they didn't want to get near you,

they wanted to look up your hospital gown.

Ha-ha. Guys, don't make me laugh, it hurts.

Ah, yes, table for three with a view, please.

What's the problem?

Our friend Kevin Hooper, here, has been the victim

of a most unfortunate personal foul in the well-spring of his progeny.

The groin?

We've got to get him in shape for spring break, we're heading for Hilton Head.

I thought all you college kids went down to Fort Lauderdale.

Not Harvard.

Well, boom, boom.

Who's next?

Yo.

Oh, Kevin, old sport, if you're not feeling up to it,

perhaps I should go in your place.

This way, please.

&lt You guys, go on, get out of here.

You sure, big fella?

Positive. I'll see you at the apartment.

He's in good hands. Let's go.

I'm Doctor Cavanero.

Cavanero, that's Italian.

Yes, I know. Do you want to tell me what happened?

My friend Ryan forgot the meaning of the words touch football.

Hmm. I'll need you to stand.

You've got to take down your pants, so I can have a look.

&lt This is a little embarrassing.

I'm a doctor.

I guess, if you've seen one.

Turn your head and bear down.

Do you mean cough?

Bear down, please.

Hm.

Well?

The left side is a little swollen.

But I'll live?

Kevin, I'm going to admit you.

What?

I'd like to run some tests

and have a urologist take a look at your other testicle.

There seems to be an irregularity on the right side.

I've never noticed it.

It could be nothing, but, as long as you're here, let's get it checked.

Feels like someone took all the lubricants out of my body. &gt

I have aches and pains in places I didn't even know I had.

We'll get you loosened up in the whirlpool later.

I'd like that, believe me.

&lt Hi, Amanda.

Hi, Phil.

Mr Barnes, how you coming along?

Arthritis is still a barrel of laughs.

Did you get the tickets?

No.

Why not?

Ah, we'll talk about it later.

What's the big mystery?

&lt There's no mystery.

You two going on a date?

We're supposed to be going to see the Alvin Ailey Dance Company,

but something has obviously changed our plans.

Mr Barnes, you should be ready to go home in a couple of days.

Good. &gt

I'll check on you again tomorrow.

Amanda, could I see you outside?

I want to talk to you about treatment for Mrs Mac.

Sure.

See you at the whirlpool, Mr Barnes.

Amanda, I don't think it's wise for us to discuss our personal life

in front of patients.

Why not?

Well, I just don't think it's good medicine.

I see, doctors aren't supposed to be human beings.

Oh, come on, you know what I mean.

Yeah. I was going to kiss you goodbye, but...

Oh-oh-oh.

(GIGGLES)

OK.

Bye-bye.

What are you doing here?

I work here, remember.

You said you were going to take two full weeks off,

"To get to know my new breast," as you put it.

Yeah, well, you said you couldn't wait till I got back.

When Doctor Caldwell sees you, he's going to hit the ceiling.

Why do there always seem to be tornados in Mississippi?

Well, actually, it's a phenomenon associated with the vernal equinox,

a time of natural upheaval.

I believe that the Gulf of Mexico provides a moist body of air in the spring

which, when pushed out by a cold front, makes violent updrafts.

That's the most I've ever heard him say in one sitting.

So, Wendy, you didn't have time for breakfast this morning? &gt

I'm furious.

Well, are you going to tell us why or do we have to guess?

I just testified at Peter White's pre-trial rape hearing.

His lawyer is a real shyster.

Tried to make what happened in the locker room &gt

seem like an overblown incident of hostility. &gt.

This guy tries to rape me and the court reduces the charge

to indecent assault and battery.

What about the two other women Peter actually raped?

He wore a ski mask.

Oh. So they can't positively identify him. &gt.

And the best part is,

the judge released Peter on his own recognizance until the trial.

No bail?

That's right.

And now I'm supposed to forget all about it

and spend the rest of the day smiling at my patients.

Hm.

&lt Well, better get to work.

Oh!

Nurse Rosenthal.

Are you OK?

Oh. Yeah, I'm fine.

Sorry, I just wanted to tell you that Dr Levine's wife wants

another shot of insulin.

I'll take care of it. Thanks.

Are you sure you're OK?

Yeah, I'm fine, really. Don't worry.

Oh.

Dr Barton?

Here are Kevin Hooper's test results.

A non-functioning mass showed up on the testicular scan

and appears solid on the ultrasound.

Slight elevation alpha-fetoprotein,

beta HCG negative, chest X-ray negative, CAT scan negative.

Schedule surgery for later this afternoon.

I'll have to remove the malignant testicle.

Throw this in his chart.

Looking good, Mr Murphy.

If I find a pure seminoma, there's an end to it.

You'll talk to Kevin?

I'm in O.R. the rest of the morning.

I won't see him until just before surgery, you'll have to tell him.

But, Dr Barton, I don't think I'm the one who...

I was taking a throw from the shortstop, &gt

when one of the big kids slid into me at second.

And on the first day of outdoor recess too.

Did you tag him out?

Double play.

Well, at least there's some justice in this world.

Three over four swelling to the lateral malleolus,

indicating forced inversion injury.

Can you wiggle your toes for me?

You sure you're a real doctor?

If I'm not, I wasted a lot of time and money in med school.

I've never seen a doctor wearing a baseball hat before.

This is my lucky hat.

I wear this for protection against the forces of evil.

All right, take him down to X-ray,

we need an AP and a lateral of his ankle. &gt.

AP and lateral, check.

We're going to get you off the injured reserve list in no time.

X-rays are radioactive.

Nothing to worry about.

There's no such thing as an acceptable level of contamination.

Well, we need to see if anything's broken. It won't hurt.

I promise.

Then, can I wear your hat?

My hat? What for?

Protection against the forces of evil.

No. Please.

&lt Couldn't he just wear it down to X-ray?

This hat never leaves my head.

Even when you shower?

Let him wear the hat, Fiscus.

All right, Elliot, but I'm holding you personally responsible.

Did I tell you Myra came to see me? &gt.

Yeah, I was surprised she wasn't at the hearing. &gt.

Something must have come up.

Ha-ha. Man, I'll tell you something, it's good to be home.

Myra!

Honey!

Wait right there. I just want to change before we go back.

OK.

&lt Myra!

&lt Myra!

&lt Myra!

Hmm.

Myra?

They're gone. What?

The toys and the clothes and everything, just gone.

When Myra came to see you, did she...?

&lt She didn't say much of anything.

&lt I mean, I did most of the talking.

I told her that...

I loved her and how much she meant to me.

&lt Huh.

What? Does she think I'm guilty?

How could she do that?

Well, I don't know why she left, Peter, but it's...

probably not what you're thinking.

Myra loves you too much. Right.

Look, you go on and I'll catch up with you.

What?

Yeah. Go on, go on. I'll catch up with you at the hospital.

Peter?

You sure? &gt.

Yeah, thanks.

OK.

APPLAUSE

It was at the urging of my husband's mother

to join the Women's Auxiliary at St. Eligius.

She was always inspiring me to do charitable acts and,

I must admit, I've found enormous pleasure in this past year. &gt.

St. Eligius's financial problems are far... &gt.

You mean to tell me, there's nothing we can do about it?

I'm afraid not.

The court was very clear,

we've been ordered to let White re-enter the residency programme.

I don't like it any more than you do, Donald.

But the fact remains

that Peter White is yet to be convicted of a crime.

&lt We live in a country where a person is innocent until proven otherwise.

I present St. Eligius with an endowment

in the name of my beloved mother-in-law.

Well, I can't believe he wants to come back here.

We can send him anywhere we choose, right?

Of course.

Great.

To the sum of $50,000.

APPLAUSE

And, in her memory, I dedicate her bust.

APPLAUSE

Once again, Mrs Jesmer and Mr Jesmer, thank you from everyone

at St. Eligius for your generous contribution.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, would you please join us all

for some champagne.

Oh, how nice.

&lt How do we explain's presence to the women who work here?

Convincing them that he's within his constitutional rights

isn't going to make them feel any safer.

No need to kill the messenger, Dr Westphall.

Right, OK.

Well, let's go and get some of the champagne.

Excellent speech, Mrs Jesmer.

Oh, thank you.

Do you think Mother Jesmer would have liked it?

Undoubtedly.

Ah. Come along, dear.

I tell you something, from the minute he walks in that door,

I'm going to have somebody following him everywhere.

He's not wandering through these halls scaring people.

His lawyers could sue for harassment.

I don't care.

Care for some champagne? &gt.

Thank you.

Donald?

No, thanks.

Well, how did I do?

Doctor Barton and I agree that there's an irregularity

on your right testicle.

What do you mean?

A tumour.

The tests indicate some kind of carcinoma.

I got cancer?

There's a chance that the tumour's benign.

I suppose that means radiation or chemo, I'll be bald for graduation.

We have to operate.

I've scheduled surgery for this afternoon. &gt.

So fast? You just checked me in last night and now you want to...

We need to identify the type of tumour as soon as possible.

What? Am I going to die?

I think we caught it in the early stages.

So, what are you going to do?

You're going to scrape the lump off and sew me up?

It's not that simple.

Your testicle has to be removed.

If we find that the mass is well localised, &gt

then it's not as serious &gt

and your chances for recovery are excellent. &gt.

Sounds pretty damn serious to me.

You ready?

Ooh.

You wanted to know what dipping your hand in paraffin feels like.

Yeah, it feels kind of nice.

Hey, Dr Chandler, could you get us a bottle of champagne,

dim the lights, maybe put on a little Barry.

Hey, wait a minute, I was just getting relaxed.

We'll wait until it dries, then we'll do it again.

Luther, don't you have something better to do with your time?

Oh, not in my wildest dreams.

I think it's hard enough, so let's do it again.

Ooh, when hot wax is joined together, let no man separate.

Now. Luther.

Amanda, I'll never wash this hand.

(GIGGLES)

Look, I'm, erm, sorry about what happened this morning.

I understand.

I thought I'd make it up to you. I traded shifts with Jack this evening, so we...

Phil.

I'm going to a party with Luther.

Dr Ridley, can I bother you for a minute?

Sure. Come on in.

I've stopped dreaming in colour.

Don't you think that means something?

Probably. Here, have a seat.

I wonder what that does mean.

I know everyone thinks I'm lonely and that I'm paranoid.

Actually, I'm a very open person, but he knows everything about me,

where I live, where I work, the hours I keep.

Damn it, I don't want to give Peter a reason to hurt me.

Cathy, you have every reason to feel confused,

a terrible, terrible thing has happened to you.

You probably feel like you've lost some sense of control

over your life.

Am I close?

You see, I don't think you'll feel so helpless

if you work real hard to try and get that sense of control back.

I know that, intellectually.

But, in my heart, I've got to stop being afraid.

I've got to do something to make sure I know that he won't attack me.

Or anyone else again.

That makes perfect sense.

I want to testify against him in court.

I'm the only one who can give a positive identification.

I pulled the ski mask off.

I'd say you'd better testify,

if only to restore your own sense of dignity and worth.

I'd just like to dream in colour again.

Nurse Daniels, have you seen Dr Fiscus?

He went to the bank.

Elliot? Yes.

Your patient's been in a car accident,

you need to check for kidney damage, what do you do?

Check the urine for red blood cells.

Right. I need a complete urinalysis STAT.

STAT.

Ah!

My God.

God. Urgh!

He's going to kill me.

Slow down, Elliot.

200 degrees.

Ten minutes.

That ought to do it.

I resent doing another doctor's dirty work.

Isaac Barton is a busy surgeon &gt

and I'm sure he'll see this patient when he can.

Even so.

Annie, giving bad news is part of the job. &gt.

Next to the hours, it's the worst part,

but you do it all the time, we all do.

If Barton gets in there and finds embryonal carcinoma.

Annie, you didn't give the boy this disease.

I can talk about treating cancer,

but I can't talk about being a young man.

I see. &gt.

You're a woman, so you can't know what this means to him, huh?

I don't buy that.

Fine.

Annie? &gt.

If a boyfriend of yours had the same operation,

would it make any difference to you?

Maybe.

I don't feel very good about that.

You shouldn't.

Oh, OK, over here.

Why don't you put them on the counter, right there.

Thank you.

Well, isn't that nice?

You can always tell what the season is by the flower arrangements.

After a long winter of chrysanthemums and dried leaves,

it's so nice to see tulips again, isn't it?

Here's Mr Armand Trod's medication schedule.

It's not fair.

What?

How can somebody eat a whole box of crullers and stay so thin?

Ha.

(SNIFFS)

Do you smell something burning?

Ah!

Oh!

Oh! Ah-ah.

My God!

ALARM RINGS

What on Earth is going on?

Dr Westphall?

Sit down.

I'm going to make this quick

because I can't stand being in the same room with you.

Oh, so you think I'm guilty?

You're damn right I do.

I don't know what loophole your crawled through to get in...

You don't even want to hear my side...

I've been doing nothing but listening to your problems for a year.

I gave you every chance in the book &gt

because, for some stupid reason, I thought you deserved them.

Now I'm going to get the "I let you down" lecture.

No. No, not me.

This hospital. Do you have any idea the damage you've caused?

You violated a trust. You've made us all suspect.

I feel I've been sheltering an animal here, these past months.

Is there an official reason for this meeting?

From the time you leave this office, there's going to be a security guard

on your back, every minute you're on call.

Anything else?

You step out of line once, I'm going to break you in two.

Hoops. Yo.

Savouring the ambiance.

For you, chief.

All these sick people in one place, urgh.

What are they keeping you here for, anyway?

A few more tests.

You look worse than when we brought you in here.

What kind of tests? &gt.

Since when do they keep you overnight

for taking a shot below the belt, huh?

Guys, I'm kind of tired.

Erm, can we talk tomorrow?

Hoops, we are packing for Hilton Head, when are they letting you out of here?

I don't know.

Wh...? Hoops, we have a tradition of debauchery to uphold.

Yah.

I'm not going.

You're not going? &gt.

You're not going?

Still got to pay your share of the deposit.

Money is all this clown thinks about.

Why don't we take up the great debate of last month's phone bill, &gt

while we we're at it. &gt

I got cancer.

You what?

One of my testicles.

Come on, Kev, that's not even funny.

No, that's the good news.

The bad news is, if it's spread,

they're going to cut from here to here

and they're going to take out a bunch of lymph nodes

and, if I'm real lucky...

I'll live.

&lt All he did was knee you, man.

When are they going to operate?

Today.

Well, I wouldn't let them. &gt

I'd get a second opinion at a real hospital, like, er, Boston General.

I don't need a second opinion,

they're going to cut off my testicle.

This hospital smell is really getting to me.

You coming, Ryan?

Yeah.

Kevin.

You're kidding, right?

I didn't do it on purpose, it was an accident.

Do you have any idea what you've done.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Elliot, this wasn't just a hat, this was a way of life.

I'll replace it for you.

You can't replace something that's priceless.

You know who gave me that hat?

No. Carl Yastrzemski.

He did?

Personally.

I stole it from him after a game in Fenway in 1979.

Oh, Wayne. I didn't know, I'll make it up to you somehow, I promise.

No, no. I'll do it.

We need you, Wayne. &gt

Elliot, I was your friend, even though you're stupid,

fat, incompetent, I was still your friend and you betrayed me.

Luther, I've got something I want you to do.

Oh, I can't right now, I'm watching little Pete.

I'm doing my Michael Jackson routine.

Don't you have something better to do with your time?

Babysitting for little Pete is fine, at least you're helping someone.

But spending the rest of your day shucking and jiving

and clowning around is pathetic.

Don't you want to do something with your life?

Hello, Kevin. I'm Dr Westphall, director of medicine.

If this is another pre-operation pep talk,

Dr Burton already told me, it's as simple as opening an oyster.

I'm in and out in 30 minutes.

Are your parents aware of what's going on?

I'm sure they're going to be happy to know

their son is on his way to becoming the daughter they never had(!)

Kevin, this is a diseased organ that has nothing whatsoever to do

with how masculine you are,

how deep your voice is or how many children you're going to have.

Business as usual.

That's right. 100%.

No change in your sexuality, your fertility or your performance.

See, Kevin, nature has a wonderful pattern of redundancy.

A man has two testicles, but he only needs one.

Yeah, and what do I tell the next girl I go to bed with?

She won't know.

A prosthesis can fool even a doctor.

I'll know.

Yup.

I can't help thinking that I'm being punished for something I did wrong.

Come on, now. &gt.

Disease can't be a punishment for our thoughts, Kevin.

If it were, hospitals would be even more overcrowded than they are.

(EXHALES)

I'm scared to death.

Wayne, you look different.

How?

You shaved your beard off?

Oh.

Mind if I join you?

Yes, I do mind.

&lt Her mum's up in the roof.

&lt (LAUGHING)

Wayne, what happened?

&lt Don't. Just don't.

So, how are the wedding plans going, Bobby?

&lt You're getting married?

Looks like.

Do we have to talk about marriage?

Sorry. Still no word from Roberta, huh? &gt.

Her lawyer called to find out who my lawyer was.

I don't have a lawyer. I don't even have a regular barber.

&lt Instead of eating it, I should just attach it to my thigh,

cos that's where it would end up anyway.

Ladies? Hi.

I mean, I just don't know how you can eat so much at one time.

I'm starved, I haven't had a bite all day.

Did you two hear the rumour?

&lt Which rumour?

Because of budget restrictions, there's going to be five less places

in the second year residency programme next year.

So what? &gt.

When I went from first year to second, they cut ten people.

It's a given that not everybody's asked back.

Which one of us is going to get the axe?

Here comes my vote.

I'll get some air.

Why did you rape me, Peter?

You're crazy, everybody knows it.

I never touched you.

You're a liar.

You're a despicable human being!

SILENCE

I want the special.

Dr Barton has delivered the testicle into the wound

and is ready for, er...

for removal.

Thank you, Dr Ehrlich.

There is an elevation on the inferior portion of the testicle,

approximately one by two centimetres in area.

The tumour's well-circumscribed and appears to be non-invasive.

Send this to pathology.

Ooh.

You're skittish, Dr Ehrlich.

Sorry, sir, but this procedure hits me at the very root of my being.

Prosthesis.

Ah. Poor kid.

We're saving his life.

I know, but a marble made of silicon gel, come on.

They used to be made of sterilised ping pong balls.

Oh, great. Table tennis, anyone?

Testicular cancer isn't a joking matter

for a man your age, Dr Ehrlich.

Do you examine yourself once a month?

No. You should.

Not now, Ehrlich.

Yes, sir.

Judging from the swelling, I'd say you took quite a shot.

Yes, unbelievably tender.

Maybe I should have been wearing shoulder pads.

You have no business being here at the hospital.

How's that?

It's sore.

You came back way too early.

Well, I was home the same length of time after my mastectomy.

Totally different.

Now, I want you to go home and rest.

I couldn't stand being at home,

all that time to think that maybe I shouldn't have had this implant.

Why?

Because it doesn't look exactly the way I thought it would.

Because I didn't really need it.

It's not the same size as my real breast.

Because...

Huh. Because, because...

Look, Helen.

You're never going to be able to replace the organ that you lost,

but you're jeopardising the shape and position of the implant.

You want to go through all this again?

No.

Please.

OK.

&lt I don't know what I'm going to do.

I haven't had any sleep in two days.

I have an emergency medicine exam tomorrow

and I haven't even cracked a book.

I don't know how much more of this I can take.

I just don't have what it takes to be a doctor.

(SIGHS)

Everyone thinks I'm a joke.

I have one friend in this entire hospital and what do I do?

I set his hat on fire.

His prize possession.

So, of course, now he hates me.

I don't know.

I don't know what to do.

I should've gone to dental school.

I mean, there wouldn't have been the drama of saving lives, but

I bet there's a lot of satisfaction in fighting tooth decay.

Yeah. I mean, clean a few teeth

and, Wednesdays, play a few rounds of golf.

It's not a bad life.

Err.

I don't mean to bore you, I'm sorry. I just...

You're the lucky one, you're anaesthetised.

Look at you, sleeping like a baby.

No cares, no worries.

No pulse.

You have no pulse!

Oh, Mr Gleeson, so this is where you've been hiding.

&lt And I thought we'd lost you.

Take him down to pathology, will you?

Excuse me.

I must see a doctor at once.

What seems to be the problem?

It's about my steed.

(HORSE SNORTS)

&lt We were on our way to conquer and her legs bucked.

I didn't know what to do, St. Eligius was close, so I brought her here.

You won't let her die, will you?

Wow, what's going on?

This is Paul Revere.

My name is Christopher Samus Paine,

president of the Paul Revere Society

and that is my ailing steed, Unknown.

(HORSE WHINNIES)

What do you expect us to do?

It's all right, I'm here.

Thought we could have expected better treatment at the hands of the Tories.

She's lactating, isn't she?

Yes, she's got a beautiful, little colt named Minute Man.

Nurse Daniels, IV, normal saline, 250cc an hour.

We're going to need a large bore needle, 18-gauge should do it,

and a red top tube.

Fiscus, get these people out of here, I need some room to work, OK?

Do you know what you're doing?

Of course, my father was a vet, I used to work there over the summers.

Is she going to be all right?

She probably has hypocalcaemia.

It's a calcium deficiency,

it's expected in lactating or pregnant mares.

I'd never forgive myself if anything happens to Unknown.

She was named for Paul Revere's horse. &gt.

Heartbeat's about 60, it's a little elevated, it should be 35 or 40.

We wanted to walk in the footsteps of history by re-tracing the root of Paul Revere's Ride.

This was a dry run so we wouldn't get lost on the anniversary next month. &gt.

"One if by land and two if by sea.

"And I on the opposite shore will be.

"Ready to ride and spread the alarm &gt.

"Through every Middlesex village and farm." &gt.

Longfellow. Henry Wadsworth.

But wasn't it The Midnight Ride Of Paul Revere?

Paul Revere didn't have to work in the morning, there was a war on.

Thanks.

Shall I make it a little warmer, Mr Barnes?

Please.

First class treatment, eh, Mr Barnes?

Amanda.

Can I talk with you a minute?

You'll have to wait.

&lt Did you get those dance tickets?

Still working on them, Mr Barnes.

Should I turn on the jets?

Yeah, give me a blast.

I just want to talk. I can't concentrate on my work.

How's that, Mr Barnes?

&lt All I need is a pair of water skis. Ha.

About Luther.

You didn't have to yell at him, Phil.

I thought we had something better going, but you'd rather spend

your time with some guy who plays step and fetch it just to get a laugh.

You're really cruel.

I don't get it. I don't get it. What do you see in him?

Someone who's not caught up in himself.

Someone who's not so serious all the time.

I'm a doctor, he's an orderly.

So what?

So I don't have time to go around making people laugh,

telling jokes, that's not what I'm here to do.

Amanda? I hate to bother you.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I don't want to talk about this any more.

Could you turn down the heat?

You know, I think you're better off not going to that dance with him.

But she's dead.

What do you mean she's dead?

I have an order for Mead, for three pepperoni specials,

somebody owes me 33.75 plus tip.

$33 for pizza?

Extra cheese.

Listen, I'll take one.

Now we're getting somewhere.

Didn't have a chance to grab dinner.

I just had a visit with Kevin Hooper.

Pathologist report showed pure seminoma, no metastasis.

I guess I didn't handle it very well, but thanks for talking to him.

I didn't say anything to him, his body did.

What do you mean?

A dream he just had.

An erotic dream about a woman named Annie.

Night.

(BABY GURGLES)

&lt I thought you left already.

(SIGHS)

How would you describe me?

Smart?

Silly?

Funny?

I don't know, I like you, I think you're a nice guy, a good doctor.

Average?

Boring?

I didn't say that.

That's what you think, right? That's what you meant.

Everybody thinks I'm just a nice doctor, always on his P's and Q's.

Always trying to maintain a squeaky clean, professional image.

Being a doctor's got nothing to do with your personality.

If you were a lawyer or a CPA, you'd still be the same Phil Chandler. &gt.

A dull, black guy with no sense of rhythm.

It's OK, so what? I'm a dull, white guy with no sense of rhythm.

Well, it's not a problem for you.

See, I'm black.

I'm supposed to be cool, tell jokes, have a certain flair.

That's ridiculous. Come on.

&lt (BABY GURGLES)

You're stereotyping.

Am I?

&lt (BABY GURGLES)

All right, look, I know you're just joking,

but most people, I just don't live up to their idea of what I should be.

Well, that's their problem.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's mine too.

You see, I grew up in an all-white neighbourhood.

Went to an all-white school.

On the one hand, my black friends feel like I sold out.

Not white enough for my white friends.

People here at the hospital, they don't think...

Feel the same way too.

You're exaggerating.

Besides...

Yeah, I know, I know.

I should just be the best person I can be, right?

That's right. &gt.

Yeah, well. We can't all be masters at it like you, Jack.

Phil.

Well, then,

guess I'd better go run now.

BANG BANG

&lt (BABY CRIES)

(HORSE NEIGHS)

&lt Get up.

Up, oh!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Calcium deficiencies have some pretty frightening symptoms,

but with the right treatment,

the patient can bounce back real quickly.

Now, don't forget that diet we talked about, OK?

Done.

We're going back to the paddock tonight

to rest up for the real thing.

Thank you.

Oh, you're very welcome.

What did you think?

I need a neuro check on the woman in three, STAT.

OK.

What d'you think?

Please, Elliot, you're in the way.

I'm sorry.

Elliot, you did a good job, but it's no big deal,

we don't have time here for glory, we just move on to the next one.

Neuro check in three.

Dr Fiscus.

I'll replace that hat for you.

You bet you will.

(KNOCKS)

Kevin?

How are you feeling?

Like a bullfighter who just ran out of luck.

Ha-ha.

You should be halfway to South Carolina.

Ah, pfft, change of plans.

Andy decided to go alone.

And I thought Andy never had any smarts.

Yeah.

When I was 15, my grandmother died and I was real close to her.

And my uncle said, erm, "Toughen up, real men don't cry."

&lt And so I held it in all day, through the wake and the church,

&lt the cemetery.

&lt Until, finally I got home

and I went up to my room and, erm...

I couldn't stop weeping.

But I felt better.

My uncle was a jerk.

You run into guys like that.

&lt Yeah, everywhere.

Kev, when you told us what they were going to do to you,

I could see you were scared, but I was scared too, you know.

It's, like, it's like cancer was contagious.

&lt And I know it isn't, I know that, but I was still scared.

Welcome to the club.

Cos it could happen to me.

Kev, you're still a man.

I'm a jerk.

It's OK.

Well, I'm sorry for not being a better friend.

And for kneeing you.

You probably saved my life.

What's that?

Oh.

Spring break.

♪ THE BEACH BOYS: Surf City

OK? You clown.

We're talking about some industrial strength sun burning.

As a matter of fact, soak yourself, bud.

Oh, thanks.

Not far behind you, pal.

You got the groove yet?

OK, hotshot.

You go long, I'll hit you at the first palm tree.

(CHUCKLES)

(PANTS)

(PANTS HEAVILY)

ARGH!
