d'you hear the latest
from the hospital grapevine?

What?

Nurse kibby got a tattoo.

Lorraine in radiology
is datin' an albino.

And Vivian, the head nurse,

was found in the supply closet

with a certain Dr. Weston.

Wait. Hold it. That's me.
That's not true, Laverne.

Grapevine also has it
that our chief of pediatrics

is back from lecturin'
at Oxford.

Dr. Brewster's back!

You are not gonna start gushin'

about him again, are you?

Well, Laverne, come on,
after all, he is my mentor.

I wouldn't be a doctor today
if it weren't for him.

Remind me to thank him for that.

Come on, Laverne, wasn't there

somebody special in your life
who took you under their wing

and inspired you to be
what you are today?

Yes, and they just found her
in the supply closet with you.

That's not true.

Well, let's just drop it.

It's gonna be so great
to see Dr. Brewster.

You know, he is the most
remarkable doctor

I have ever known.

I'll tell something
that drives me nuts about him.

No matter how old I get,

no matter how much I accomplish,

he still sees me only as
that student in row 3, seat 2.

I wish we could get past that.

I mean, just once in my life,

I'd like to hear him
call me "Dr. Weston."

- Harry!
- Dr. Brewster!

Hi. Let me look at you.

You haven't been
dating have you?

No, I-I've been dating.

I'm talking
about a relationship,

not some fling
in the supply closet.

That didn't happen.

Never mind. I'm tired
of looking at you anyway.

This is...
I want to look at Laverne.

Now, that... That is a face.

Oh, well, thank you so much,
Dr. Brewster.

The voice we could work on.

So how come you're back so soon?

Lecturing is fine, but... but
I-i miss my day-to-day practice.

You know,
I really miss the kids.

- How was england?
- Wet.

The rain kept putting out
my cigar.

So, listen, I am so glad
to have you back.

How about coming over
for dinner?

It's been ages
since we've seen you.

Well, I'll have to look
in my date book here

to see if I got
an opening for you.

Yeah, yeah, I could be
with you...

Never.

Come on, Dr. Brewster,
you got to come to the house.

The girls would love to see you.

The girls
are still living at home?

Yes.

What are they now, like, 40?

I'm not giving up on this.

Now, you got to come over
for dinner.

Oh, I got twilight free
on the 9th.

You want a piece of that?

Twilight's good.

Doctor's office.

Ah. Uh-huh. Okay, I'll tell him.

Uh, Dr. Brewster,
you were supposed to be

at a finance meetin'
20 minutes ago.

They're a-waitin' on you.

Let them wait.
Finance... useless.

That's not a meeting.

Roosevelt and Churchill
at yalta... that's a meeting.

I just don't know
how you do it all.

I mean, chief of pediatrics,
you consult,

you teach,
you got your own practice.

I mean, ever
since I've known you,

you've always been juggling
ten things at once.

Let me tell you, Harry,
I'm like a shark.

If I stand still, I die.

And I also like to bite
pretty girls in bikinis.

Now why can't you say
witty things like that?

Oh, girls,
everything looks beautiful.

Dr. Brewster is gonna love it.

Oh, I almost forgot.

"Thank you for not smoking."

I know Dr. Brewster
likes his cigars,

but we don't want
the harmful effects

of secondary-smoke inhalation.

Carol, sweetheart,
I-I'm sure you mean well,

but if I know Dr. Brewster,

he will light his cigar
with this thing.

Hey, westons.

Oh, the good China...
What's the occasion?

Somebody give Carol
a second glance?

No, Dr. Brewster's coming over.

Oh, the guy that got you
into podiatry.

No, Charley, I'm a pediatrician.

Great. The day I get a corn.

Oh, my god, I just remembered

the last time
Dr. Brewster was here.

It must have been 20 years ago.

It was at our piano recital.

Oh, yeah,
when you ruined our duet.

Me? You threw the first punch.

- Not before you bit me.
- Well, you ripped my dress.

Oh, this sounds ugly.

Tell me all about it.

Oh, the piano recital. Yeah.

Everybody was here,
all the grandparents,

aunts and uncles, Dr. Brewster.

I was taking home movies.

And there were these
two adorable little sisters

in black velvet dresses

seated at the piano
and playing and...

And then suddenly their hands
leapt from the keyboard

to each other's throats,
screaming, ripping, tearing...

Velvet everywhere.

I don't want to talk
about this anymore.

Hello? Oh, hi, Dr. Brewster.

You're on your way...

To the hospital
for a board meeting.

No, no, no, sir, no.

We know you have
a very busy schedule.

I mean,
no explanations necessary.

Oh, you weren't going
to explain.

All right, bye, bye.

- Can't make it.
- Oh.

Boy, this Brewster guy
sounds really rude.

Hey, you're out of milk.

Well, now you are.

Morning.

The official antiperspirant

of the miss junior teen
U.S.A. pageant?

Yeah, it's real zesty.

- Barbara?
- Yeah?

I've been thinking
about the piano recital

and how we never finished
the duet.

Carol, it's over.
It was 20 years ago... forget it.

Barbara, we have to resolve
this issue once and for all.

Like I care.

The point is...

This was a very traumatic
childhood moment.

Hmm.

Barbara, what I'm trying to
say here is that piano recital

was the turning point
in our relationship.

I mean, who knows?

We might have been
great friends today

if that recital hadn't happened.

Carol, it's past history.

Besides, we're real comfortable
with hating each other.

Why screw with it?

Well, maybe it doesn't have
to be that way.

- What do you mean?
- Let's have another recital.

- What?
- Don't you see?

We re-create the moment.

We invite the same people.
We play the same piece.

Only this time we finish it.

And when it's all over,
our relationship will blossom

like flowers pushing their way

through the warm ground
in spring.

It's a good thing
I'm over the sink.

Barbara, say you'll do it,
or I'll keep talking about it.

- I'll do it!
- Yay, Barbara!

don't even think about it.

Okay, bye.

Do you know
which X-ray technician

keeps balled-up socks
in his britches?

Laverne, I don't want to hear
about this.

I'll give you a hint...

He's got dates
every night this week.

- Harry, how are you?
- Hey, Alan.

- Hello, Dr. Wakefield.
- Hi, Laverne.

Harry, can I talk to you
privately?

Sure.

You go on ahead.

I'll get it all later
from the grapevine.

So...

What's up?
It's about Dr. Brewster.

Oh, it must be great
to he him back in the office.

Well, that's what
I want to talk to you about.

I-I'm worried about him, Harry.
He's forgetting appointments.

He's not showing up
at staff meetings.

He's dozing off at lectures.

Alan, come on,
we've been to those lectures.

Half the time,
the speaker's dozing off.

It's more serious than that.

Lately he's ordering
too many blood tests,

too many x-rays.

Alan, Dr. Brewster's
always been very cautious.

This is more than caution.

Something's happening
to him, Harry.

The man is slipping.

Alan, I don't think
you want to have

this conversation with me.

Okay, I admit, nothing
dangerous has happened yet.

He's just lucky
that somebody's been there

to catch the errors.

You realize
who you're talking about?

Look, Harry, I-i know
he's special to you.

We all like him,
but he's getting older.

The man's taken on
more responsibilities

than he can handle.

We're going
to the peer review board

with a recommendation that
Dr. Brewster stop practicing

and become professor emeritus.

Emeritus?

That's Latin
for "put out to pasture."

We think
it's for the best, Harry.

We'd like you to come with us.

- I'll be there.
- Good.

I'll be there,

and I'll fight you
every step of the way, Alan.

Well, I don't care
what he's tellin' her.

I hear he's leasin'
that Mercedes.

And you know those gold chains
around his neck?

Well, they're a-turning green.

Yeah, well, you figure it out.

Listen, I got to go.
Doctor is in a mood.

- So she'll be okay, doctor?
- Yes, Mrs. lasko.

It's uh, strep throat,

but, uh, treated,
it's nothing serious.

I'm gonna, put her
on some medication.

- She's already on medication.
- She is?

Yes, the last doctor
prescribed a

antihistamine for her.
For the strep?

No, dear, I don't think he
prescribed an antihistamine.

But I have it right here.

Well, that is an antihistamine.

"Dr. Leo Brewster."

Is there a problem, doctor?

No, dear. Uh, you just get
this penicillin.

And Shannon is gonna be fine.

- Thank you.
- Bye-bye, dear.

Bye, doctor.

He didn't do a throat culture.

How could he miss
something like that?

Well, now, that's an easy
enough thing to overlook.

No, Laverne, no,
not for the Dr. Brewster I know.

He never would make
a mistake like that, never.

God, maybe he is slipping.

Alan tried to tell me
that today.

I practically threw him
out of the office.

Well, I guess all of us are
human, now, even Dr. Brewster.

I don't want him to be human.

I want him to be the man

I've looked up to
all these years.

Well, what are you gonna do?

I don't know.

- Is this where you want it?
- That's great, Charley.

I think you gals are doing

the right thing
with this recital.

My theory is...

Once you've had a problem,
you got to take care of it.

You know what they say...

"fall off a woman,
get right back on."

That's "fall off a horse,
get right back on."

Gross!

Oh.

This bench seems so much
smaller than I remember it.

Of course it seems smaller.
Your butt's bigger.

And yours isn't?

Not like yours.

Barbara, dear,
we're not going to have

a second chance a relationship

if we continue
to snap at each other.

The point is, is to get
through this piano duet

without incident.
You're right, Carol.

Hey, you know, this thing's
been in the shed a long time.

You think it still works?

Charley, that was magnificent.

That was incredible.
How did you do that?

I don't know.

Nothing like that
ever happened before.

Let me try again.

Nope. Weird.

Excuse me, Dr. Brewster.

Uh, may I come in?

That seems like a question

you should have asked six feet ago.

Come in, come in.

Okay. Um, sir,
I need to talk to you.

Harry, I've always got time
for you.

But hurry up.
I'm late for a meeting.

That's hurrying?

This is, uh, very important.

Oh. What's on your mind?

Uh, sir, um, there are
some people who are concerned

that with, uh, all your duties,

you don't have the energy
practice medicine anymore.

What? What are you saying?

There's a move under way

to bring you before
the peer review board.

That's incredible!

I mean, the backstabbing
that goes on in this place.

I'm glad you told me
about this, Harry.

You and I are gonna fight
this thing together.

We're not gonna let them
get away with it, are we?

Actually, sir...

I'm one of them.

You're one of them?

Sorry, but, uh...

One of your patients,
Shannon lasko,

was brought to me
for a second opinion,

and what you have diagnosed
as a cold

was, in fact, strep.

But because this didn't seem
like you, I did some checking,

and from what I gather,

this is just one of a series
of slip-ups you've been making.

Dr. Brewster, please,

I don't want to see you dragged
before a review board

and humiliated.

I think it would be
in your best interest

to resign.

Are you finished?

Yes, sir.

Now, you listen to me.

Who the hell are you to judge
my practice in medicine?

I taught you, Harry.
I molded you.

I made you what you are today.

And you're one of them?

This is how you repay me?

- Doctor...
- Get out of my office.

Get out!

Everything's all set
for our recital.

The piano's been tuned.
The sheet music's arrived.

And I've had the most adorable
little programs printed up.

Hey, they spelled my name wrong.

Oh, pish tosh, Barbara,

you must learn to stop being
so self-centered.

And it says here
that you're two years older

than you really are.

Stupid idiots.
These are all going back.

Oh, goody, that's probably
my metronome delivery.

Dr. Brewster!

No, it's arsenio hall.

I-is your father in?

Hello.

Yeah, look, I want to talk
to your father alone.

So... so go upstairs
and make some calls.

Find an apartment. Get a life.

Go, go.
I want to talk to him alone.

I said, "alone."

Well, Harry,
that was quite a visit

you paid me this afternoon.

Hardest thing I ever had to do.

I was rummaging
in the office today,

and I ran across
this health chart from 1952.

This is what they told
the kids to eat

so they'd stay healthy
and live to be 100...

Milk, eggs, meat,
and white bread.

Today this is a death chart.

You eat this every day,
you'll blow up at 30.

Why did you bring me this?

Because the video store
was out of days of thunder...

Why did I bring you this?

'Cause its outlived
its usefulness.

It's old, Harry.

And so am I.

Listen...

About this afternoon...

Ah.

Nature is a bitch my boy.

There was a time in my life
I could do everything.

In one day,

I could see patients,

perform a tonsillectomy,
lecture interns,

and still have enough energy left

to make a pass
at a good-looking nurse.

Let's face it...
I'm not 65 anymore.

This is where you're supposed
to say, "it's not that bad."

It's not that bad.

What, that's supposed
to make it feel better?

I looked over the records
of that lasko girl.

Boy, I missed that one,

but I had two conferences
that day, and then...

Ah, it's no excuse.

I mean, the patient comes first.

I screwed up.

Well, we're all human.

Anyway, kid, I'm taking your advice.

I'm giving up my practice,

and I'm stepping down
as chief of pediatrics.

From now on, I'm gonna devote
all of my time to teaching.

That's so good.

I mean, there are hundreds
of students out there

just like me who are gonna learn
a great deal from you.

That's
a very comforting thought...

100 students turning on me.

I didn't turn on you.

What was that today
at the office, a testimonial?

Look, it took a lot of guts
to do what you did today.

You came in, and you taught
the teacher a lesson.

And for that, I thank you...

Dr. Weston.

"Dr. Weston"...

You don't know how long

I've been waiting to hear
you say that.

You don't know how long

I've been waiting
for you to earn it.

Good evening, and welcome
to our little piano recital.

Some of you were
in attendance 20 years ago

at our last recital.

You may remember that evening.

Around the Weston house,

we call it
our "unfinished symphony."

You said they were gonna laugh.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the sisters Weston.

We did it. We got through it!

Barbara, I acknowledged you.

You're supposed
to acknowledge me.

You were not supposed
to finish with a flourish.

Well, you messed up your part.
I covered for you.

You didn't covered. You hogged.

- Did not.
- Did too.

Who's for coffee?
Anybody for coffee?
