1
00:00:27,133 --> 00:00:29,408
Keep your hands off me!
2
00:00:31,173 --> 00:00:33,368
- I'll be with you in a moment.
- Don't walk away.
3
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:36,809
- Doctor, I can't feel my arm.
- Just a minute.
4
00:00:38,133 --> 00:00:40,806
- I can't feel my arm.
- I can't feel it right now either.
5
00:00:40,973 --> 00:00:43,646
- Can someone feel his arm?
- I can't feel it.
6
00:00:46,733 --> 00:00:48,086
Don't touch my hair.
7
00:00:48,253 --> 00:00:50,050
Kiss the boo-boo. Kiss the boo-boo.
8
00:00:50,213 --> 00:00:53,205
- Hey, you're still here.
- Yeah, I'm still here. Can you believe it?
9
00:00:53,373 --> 00:00:57,048
Save me some coffee, you savage.
10
00:00:59,053 --> 00:01:00,884
What is this,
Alfred Hitchcock Presents?
11
00:01:05,213 --> 00:01:07,966
- What's the problem?
- Gunshot wounds. Shoulder, abdomen.
12
00:01:08,133 --> 00:01:10,567
We've been paging you.
You on California time already?
13
00:01:10,733 --> 00:01:13,327
- I was in Radiology working on my tan.
- Pulse, 120.
14
00:01:13,493 --> 00:01:15,484
Get this guy typed and crossed, huh?
15
00:01:15,933 --> 00:01:19,721
Okay, question: Beverly Hills,
beautiful women and plastic surgery...
16
00:01:19,893 --> 00:01:22,691
...what do these three things
have in common?
17
00:01:22,853 --> 00:01:24,127
Me, in less than a week.
18
00:01:24,893 --> 00:01:28,203
Okay, don't worry about his shoulder.
He's probably bleeding internally.
19
00:01:28,373 --> 00:01:31,410
Call Dr. Sotto, tell him to prep for O.R.
I'm out of here tonight.
20
00:01:31,573 --> 00:01:34,963
Convince me I'll be nostalgic for here
when I'm at the Halberstrom Clinic.
21
00:01:35,133 --> 00:01:37,169
- Halberstrom?
- Cosmetic surgery for the rich.
22
00:01:37,333 --> 00:01:40,803
- I'm not in it for the money.
- Half a million salary when he's partner.
23
00:01:40,973 --> 00:01:45,125
That high-profit stuff makes it possible
for us to do reconstructive surgery...
24
00:01:45,293 --> 00:01:47,409
...on the needier patients.
- You're a saint.
25
00:01:47,573 --> 00:01:51,452
- Got another customer over there.
- I'll do it. My going-away present to you.
26
00:01:51,613 --> 00:01:54,844
- What's the problem?
- Too much fun. Substance unknown.
27
00:01:55,013 --> 00:01:58,369
Okay, stay with us. Stay with us.
What'd you take, man?
28
00:01:58,533 --> 00:02:00,330
Bluebirds, dillies, love boats?
29
00:02:00,493 --> 00:02:03,485
I heard Halberstrom might not
even hire anyone this year.
30
00:02:03,653 --> 00:02:04,847
Well, I'm not anyone.
31
00:02:05,413 --> 00:02:09,008
Mulready, some of the guys are having
a going-away bash for me tonight.
32
00:02:09,173 --> 00:02:12,006
- If you're interested, I'd love...
- Not in this lifetime.
33
00:02:15,693 --> 00:02:17,763
- Clean up.
- Thanks.
34
00:02:17,933 --> 00:02:20,845
Come on, what do you say, guys?
Dinner. Think about it.
35
00:02:21,013 --> 00:02:24,085
Come on, it's my last night.
A couple of lousy beers?
36
00:02:24,253 --> 00:02:26,448
- Take care, man.
- Guys...
37
00:02:29,613 --> 00:02:31,922
I'll send you a postcard.
38
00:02:32,773 --> 00:02:34,411
What?
39
00:02:34,973 --> 00:02:37,692
At the risk of sounding schmaltzy,
I just wanna tell you...
40
00:02:37,853 --> 00:02:40,367
...that you're a schmuck.
I hope I never see you again.
41
00:02:40,573 --> 00:02:43,690
Thanks, Tommy. I know how hard
it was for you to say that.
42
00:02:43,853 --> 00:02:48,131
You're a good doctor, Ben. I just thought
you were gonna practice real medicine.
43
00:02:49,573 --> 00:02:52,531
Think I'm making a mistake
going to Halberstrom?
44
00:02:53,813 --> 00:02:56,964
No. Cosmetic surgery is clean...
45
00:02:57,133 --> 00:03:00,443
...you make tons of money,
nobody dies.
46
00:03:00,853 --> 00:03:02,445
What's wrong with that, right?
47
00:03:02,613 --> 00:03:04,126
Right.
48
00:03:04,453 --> 00:03:06,125
Bye, Ben.
49
00:04:37,253 --> 00:04:39,847
Oh, come on.
50
00:05:03,333 --> 00:05:04,607
Look out.
51
00:05:26,253 --> 00:05:29,484
All right, okay. Can I just ask you...
52
00:05:29,653 --> 00:05:31,405
...where am I now?
53
00:06:35,533 --> 00:06:41,051
Oh, man. Oh, God. Oh, God.
I'm okay. I'm okay.
54
00:06:41,573 --> 00:06:45,532
Accident. Woman in the middle
of the road with a cow!
55
00:06:46,213 --> 00:06:48,283
All right. I'm okay.
56
00:06:48,693 --> 00:06:52,163
Damn, my car.
Oh, man, the whole front end is shot!
57
00:06:54,893 --> 00:06:56,167
Am I glad you're here.
58
00:06:58,133 --> 00:07:01,011
Is that a '56 or a '57 Speedster?
59
00:07:01,453 --> 00:07:03,364
Fifty-six.
60
00:07:03,773 --> 00:07:06,731
Hey, come on, get out.
Will you get out of the car!
61
00:07:06,893 --> 00:07:08,167
Get away from there.
62
00:07:08,333 --> 00:07:10,893
- Took three weeks to build that fence.
- I'm sorry.
63
00:07:11,053 --> 00:07:13,567
Does this have a Super 90 engine
or a 1600?
64
00:07:13,733 --> 00:07:15,724
It wasn't really anybody's fault.
65
00:07:15,893 --> 00:07:18,168
My insurance will probably pay
for the fence...
66
00:07:18,333 --> 00:07:20,005
...and that should be fine. Okay?
67
00:07:20,173 --> 00:07:22,403
- Won't be the same.
- This ain't a kit car, is it?
68
00:07:22,573 --> 00:07:24,484
No, it ain't. It isn't.
69
00:07:25,053 --> 00:07:28,011
My name is Ben Stone.
70
00:07:28,213 --> 00:07:30,363
I'm a medical doctor.
I'm a surgeon.
71
00:07:30,533 --> 00:07:32,171
Awesome. Who thrashed the fence?
72
00:07:32,333 --> 00:07:34,767
I'm Ben Stone. Here's the address
of my clinic in L.A.
73
00:07:34,933 --> 00:07:37,527
- Did he say he's been stoned?
- He says he's from L.A.
74
00:07:37,693 --> 00:07:39,888
You can send a bill there
or we can use plastic.
75
00:07:40,053 --> 00:07:42,248
I'm not really from L.A.
I'm just on my way to...
76
00:07:42,413 --> 00:07:46,691
- You're lucky I was passing through.
- What's in the trunk? Pot?
77
00:07:48,013 --> 00:07:51,688
I'm a surgeon. Come on, will you
get away! Get away from the car!
78
00:07:51,853 --> 00:07:53,366
- Sorry.
- Not you, the dog.
79
00:07:53,533 --> 00:07:55,125
The finest fence I'll ever put up.
80
00:07:55,293 --> 00:07:58,012
I know a Willie Stone in Stanton.
Is that family of yours?
81
00:07:58,173 --> 00:08:01,006
- I understand what you're trying to do.
- This the new Mazda?
82
00:08:01,173 --> 00:08:03,846
And I'm not putting up
with any small-town bullshit.
83
00:08:04,013 --> 00:08:06,163
Where's the dang engine?
84
00:08:06,333 --> 00:08:10,372
Get away from this car! You don't
even know where the engine is.
85
00:08:10,853 --> 00:08:12,650
Got you.
86
00:08:14,653 --> 00:08:17,247
Look, I'm sorry
about what happened...
87
00:08:17,413 --> 00:08:21,122
...but it was an accident, okay?
It was nobody's fault.
88
00:08:21,293 --> 00:08:24,490
Get me to a phone. I'll call
a Porsche mechanic in the next big city.
89
00:08:24,653 --> 00:08:28,612
I'll get my car fixed, be on my way,
and you can go back to doing...
90
00:08:28,773 --> 00:08:30,172
...whatever it is you do.
91
00:08:33,333 --> 00:08:36,006
All right, I admit it!
I flattened the damn fence!
92
00:08:36,173 --> 00:08:38,482
What are you gonna do, lock me up?
93
00:08:43,013 --> 00:08:47,245
Court finds the defendant guilty
of crimes under code 453-19...
94
00:08:47,413 --> 00:08:50,485
...reckless driving, and 466-2,
reckless endangerment.
95
00:08:50,653 --> 00:08:53,087
- This is insane.
- No, this is Grady.
96
00:08:53,253 --> 00:08:56,723
Your Honor, there were cows
in the middle of the road.
97
00:08:56,893 --> 00:09:00,488
Now, I told you my insurance company
would pay for a new fence.
98
00:09:00,653 --> 00:09:02,689
I built that fence myself.
99
00:09:02,853 --> 00:09:06,243
Neither you nor your insurance can
pay me for a fence I built myself.
100
00:09:06,413 --> 00:09:08,768
Next best thing would be
a fence that you built.
101
00:09:08,933 --> 00:09:12,846
- These hands are delicate instruments.
- I doubt you could build a good fence.
102
00:09:13,013 --> 00:09:15,129
Therefore, since you're
a licensed physician...
103
00:09:15,293 --> 00:09:17,887
...and we are a town in acute shortage
of medical care...
104
00:09:18,053 --> 00:09:21,011
- You wouldn't.
... your sentence will be 16 hours...
105
00:09:21,173 --> 00:09:22,606
...of community service...
106
00:09:22,773 --> 00:09:25,606
...served as resident doctor
at Grady Memorial Hospital.
107
00:09:25,773 --> 00:09:28,606
I have to be in Los Angeles
by Tuesday, so I don't...
108
00:09:28,773 --> 00:09:30,684
Thirty-two hours.
109
00:09:30,853 --> 00:09:33,765
- This is extortion!
- You want 64 hours?
110
00:09:35,053 --> 00:09:36,247
No.
111
00:09:37,133 --> 00:09:38,566
Court is adjourned.
112
00:09:38,733 --> 00:09:40,291
All rise.
113
00:09:40,973 --> 00:09:43,362
- I am so fucked.
- Watch your language, doc.
114
00:09:43,533 --> 00:09:48,527
You're in the buckle of the Bible belt
here. Try saying "fudge" or something.
115
00:09:48,813 --> 00:09:51,202
- "Fiddlesticks" too strong?
- Depends.
116
00:09:51,373 --> 00:09:53,568
Don't you worry
about your automobile, doc.
117
00:09:53,733 --> 00:09:57,328
I always wanted an excuse
to buy me a set of metric tools.
118
00:09:57,493 --> 00:10:00,451
Sh... Sugar.
119
00:10:23,693 --> 00:10:25,172
Hey.
120
00:10:27,133 --> 00:10:28,612
I'm Dr. Benjamin Stone.
121
00:10:28,773 --> 00:10:32,402
Nurse Packer. I'm assuming
Judge Evans told you.
122
00:10:34,253 --> 00:10:36,050
Fine. Here's what I need.
123
00:10:36,213 --> 00:10:40,206
Comfortable bed, hot shower,
warm meal, locker to put my stuff in...
124
00:10:40,373 --> 00:10:43,012
Could you show me some kind
of identification, please?
125
00:10:50,893 --> 00:10:54,124
I'm wearing glasses there.
I wear contacts now.
126
00:10:54,813 --> 00:10:56,963
My hair's a little shorter.
127
00:11:00,173 --> 00:11:03,722
That's a moustache.
It's a bad picture.
128
00:11:03,893 --> 00:11:07,329
If you could direct me to the physician
on call tonight, I'll speak to him.
129
00:11:10,253 --> 00:11:11,652
"When to call me:
130
00:11:11,813 --> 00:11:15,726
If you've been stabbed, shot, poisoned,
separated from an appendage...
131
00:11:15,893 --> 00:11:18,930
...knocked or beaten unconscious,
run over by a tractor, mower...
132
00:11:19,093 --> 00:11:22,290
...or generally about to bleed to death.
Otherwise, leave me alone. "
133
00:11:22,453 --> 00:11:26,731
Signed,
Dr. Aurelius Edsel Hogue, M.D.
134
00:11:29,213 --> 00:11:31,408
I'm in The Twilight Zone.
135
00:11:33,653 --> 00:11:37,009
Zwieback and vitamin C
in the upper cabinet if you're hungry.
136
00:11:37,173 --> 00:11:40,688
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
This is the best you can do?
137
00:11:40,933 --> 00:11:42,525
No.
138
00:11:57,693 --> 00:12:01,242
Oh, good, you're awake. Welcome
to Grady. I'm Mayor Nicholson.
139
00:12:01,413 --> 00:12:03,722
The second I heard
a big-city doctor was in town...
140
00:12:03,893 --> 00:12:06,691
...I left that rehearsal,
hightailed it over here...
141
00:12:06,853 --> 00:12:09,048
...see if I can make you
more comfortable.
142
00:12:09,213 --> 00:12:11,329
- We can do better than this.
- Better than this?
143
00:12:11,493 --> 00:12:13,404
Say, these your duffles?
144
00:12:14,053 --> 00:12:17,966
I'm not claiming that Grady's no Paris,
France, but we got two gas stations...
145
00:12:18,133 --> 00:12:20,772
...got us a Winn-Dixie, got us cable TV.
Like tennis?
146
00:12:20,933 --> 00:12:24,528
We got a new tennis court at the high
school. You doctors play golf, though.
147
00:12:24,693 --> 00:12:27,207
- Learning how to surf, actually.
- Isn't this pretty?
148
00:12:27,373 --> 00:12:30,729
We had this fixed up for a doctor
we got through the want ads years ago.
149
00:12:30,893 --> 00:12:33,361
- No one's been in it for a while.
- Mayor Nicholson.
150
00:12:33,533 --> 00:12:36,843
I'm on my way to California.
Don't be thinking I'm staying here.
151
00:12:37,013 --> 00:12:39,288
No, no, of course not.
152
00:12:39,453 --> 00:12:41,762
Well, maybe not.
Give old Grady a chance...
153
00:12:41,933 --> 00:12:44,367
...she might sneak up on you
like a bee in a bottle.
154
00:12:48,853 --> 00:12:50,127
Surprise!
155
00:12:50,293 --> 00:12:52,648
- Welcoming committee.
- I hope you're hungry.
156
00:12:53,733 --> 00:12:55,132
Evening, ladies.
157
00:12:55,293 --> 00:12:58,968
Ben Stone, this here is Miss Violet
and Miss Lillian and Miss Maddie.
158
00:12:59,133 --> 00:13:02,330
Ladies, this here is Ben Stone, M.D.
159
00:13:02,493 --> 00:13:06,281
Fried chicken, boiled peanuts
and sweet potato pie.
160
00:13:06,453 --> 00:13:10,810
Catfish, biscuits, butter beans
and watermelon.
161
00:13:10,973 --> 00:13:13,965
Hungry-Man dinner. I'm a bad cook.
162
00:13:14,133 --> 00:13:18,126
Well, I guess I'll just say adieu
and come chauffeur you in the morning.
163
00:13:18,293 --> 00:13:20,204
No, wait, wait, wait. Come on.
164
00:13:20,373 --> 00:13:21,852
You can't leave me here...
165
00:13:22,013 --> 00:13:24,652
...in the middle of nowhere with them.
It's getting late.
166
00:13:24,813 --> 00:13:28,408
Don't worry. Only one of them horny.
I'm not telling you which one.
167
00:13:28,573 --> 00:13:30,564
Your face.
168
00:13:37,013 --> 00:13:39,322
You want a cocktail?
169
00:13:40,093 --> 00:13:44,325
So anyway, the high-profile,
high-profit work...
170
00:13:44,493 --> 00:13:47,405
...just makes it possible for me
to do the more important...
171
00:13:47,573 --> 00:13:51,122
...reconstructive surgery
for needier patients.
172
00:13:52,013 --> 00:13:54,288
And get a big house on the beach.
173
00:13:54,453 --> 00:13:58,844
It's hard to believe. A man as good-
looking as Dr. Stone should be married.
174
00:13:59,013 --> 00:14:01,049
Maybe he ain't found
his Adam's rib yet.
175
00:14:01,213 --> 00:14:05,047
Maybe he indulges in the love
that dare not speak its name.
176
00:14:05,213 --> 00:14:07,602
- Lillian.
- Will I go blind?
177
00:14:08,853 --> 00:14:11,970
- It's moonshine, right?
- Well, ouzo, actually.
178
00:14:12,133 --> 00:14:15,364
- We took a cruise to Greece.
- Not me. I wasn't invited.
179
00:14:15,533 --> 00:14:18,252
It was one of those
golden-agers tours.
180
00:14:18,413 --> 00:14:20,324
Sunset Tours, honey.
181
00:14:20,493 --> 00:14:23,326
- They ate the brains out of a goat.
- Not me.
182
00:14:23,493 --> 00:14:25,723
- We ate dog.
- I didn't eat no dog.
183
00:14:25,893 --> 00:14:28,691
You don't know that you didn't.
184
00:14:29,013 --> 00:14:32,403
Dr. Stone, there's a legend
about friendship quilts.
185
00:14:32,573 --> 00:14:34,131
That's bunk.
186
00:14:34,293 --> 00:14:38,809
Folks say that the first person
to sleep under a friendship quilt...
187
00:14:38,973 --> 00:14:41,567
...will meet the one
they're gonna marry.
188
00:14:41,733 --> 00:14:44,725
Dream about the one they're
gonna marry, and it's bunk.
189
00:14:44,893 --> 00:14:47,965
What a fine hand he has.
190
00:14:48,813 --> 00:14:50,610
Dr. Stone?
191
00:14:51,613 --> 00:14:53,285
Dr. Stone?
192
00:16:04,013 --> 00:16:06,129
Oh, God.
193
00:16:27,853 --> 00:16:29,445
Hello.
194
00:16:31,213 --> 00:16:32,487
Hi.
195
00:16:33,293 --> 00:16:35,932
- Good morning.
- Is something wrong?
196
00:16:36,093 --> 00:16:38,288
No, no, no.
197
00:16:39,133 --> 00:16:40,771
I'm a doctor.
198
00:16:40,933 --> 00:16:43,322
Yeah, I know who you are.
199
00:16:45,213 --> 00:16:49,331
Hey, I'm sorry. Would you...?
Do you want this?
200
00:16:49,493 --> 00:16:53,327
If you're a doctor, I don't have
anything you haven't seen before.
201
00:17:03,453 --> 00:17:05,603
You can blink now.
202
00:17:10,013 --> 00:17:13,369
All the boys from the state legislature
come here, do their recreating.
203
00:17:13,533 --> 00:17:16,843
Boy, can they litter. Presidents
come here during the fishing season.
204
00:17:17,013 --> 00:17:18,924
On purpose?
205
00:17:19,373 --> 00:17:22,410
One look at all this, Ben boy,
I'm sure you're saying to yourself:
206
00:17:22,573 --> 00:17:25,690
"I have come to Grady at the most
beautiful time of the year. "
207
00:17:25,853 --> 00:17:28,890
But, boy, these dogwoods, azaleas,
when they blooming...
208
00:17:29,053 --> 00:17:32,728
...they can't hold a candle to the nuclear
explosion of color come fall.
209
00:17:32,893 --> 00:17:36,806
Nick, you're the mayor. You have
the authority to commute my sentence.
210
00:17:36,973 --> 00:17:38,486
Could you do that?
211
00:17:38,653 --> 00:17:41,565
I'll make it worth your while.
I get back to L.A., we could...
212
00:17:41,733 --> 00:17:44,372
Why on earth
would I wanna do that?
213
00:17:44,533 --> 00:17:47,889
How am I gonna convince you
to stay here if you're not here?
214
00:17:48,613 --> 00:17:52,162
We need a doctor, you need patients.
215
00:17:52,373 --> 00:17:56,446
Get off the interstate, Ben Stone.
216
00:17:56,933 --> 00:17:58,446
Right?
217
00:18:01,373 --> 00:18:04,729
Don't let the signs of prosperity and
urban sprawl in downtown scare you.
218
00:18:04,893 --> 00:18:06,963
We're still the same
sleepy little paradise...
219
00:18:07,133 --> 00:18:10,364
...that big-city shrinks recommend
for patients with nervous disorders.
220
00:18:10,533 --> 00:18:12,842
It's the calming effect
of Grady's natural ozone.
221
00:18:13,013 --> 00:18:15,607
Fact, there's a world-class
mental hospital up the road.
222
00:18:15,773 --> 00:18:17,047
That's a comforting thought.
223
00:18:17,213 --> 00:18:20,888
Ben Stone, do you like coffee?
If you like coffee, we won't go in here.
224
00:18:22,333 --> 00:18:24,164
- Is that him?
- That's him.
225
00:18:24,333 --> 00:18:27,484
- He's young, huh?
- Come on, let's go.
226
00:18:30,093 --> 00:18:32,448
Boys, this here is Ben Stone...
227
00:18:32,613 --> 00:18:35,605
...a Hollywood physician
who's gonna spend a few days with us.
228
00:18:35,773 --> 00:18:39,846
Ben, this is Mortimer, John, Aubrey.
Probably don't want to shake his hand.
229
00:18:40,013 --> 00:18:42,891
Sorty in the corner.
Sorty got a cow that sings.
230
00:18:43,053 --> 00:18:46,489
- You remember Cotton, Miss Lillian.
- Hollywood. La-la land.
231
00:18:46,813 --> 00:18:48,405
- Beverly Hills, actually.
- Whatever.
232
00:18:48,573 --> 00:18:52,282
- Well, William's been a movie star.
- It was just an Army training film.
233
00:18:52,453 --> 00:18:55,013
Come now, you were the star.
You played the lead role.
234
00:18:55,173 --> 00:18:59,166
It was about VD. I was the bacteria.
Had a big scene with penicillin.
235
00:18:59,573 --> 00:19:01,848
Yes, a death scene.
236
00:19:02,013 --> 00:19:04,607
Take a load off, doctor.
This will stop your worries.
237
00:19:04,773 --> 00:19:06,604
Or start them.
238
00:19:08,013 --> 00:19:09,651
So, what do you think of our town?
239
00:19:09,813 --> 00:19:12,281
- I haven't seen all of it yet.
- Yeah, you have.
240
00:19:13,413 --> 00:19:14,732
Opportunity abounds here.
241
00:19:14,893 --> 00:19:17,123
Growth rate was up. 3 percent
last year.
242
00:19:17,293 --> 00:19:20,126
- There's no crime.
- By the way, we are the county seat.
243
00:19:20,293 --> 00:19:24,081
Fellas, no point in beating a dead horse
to death. That's all in the brochure.
244
00:19:24,253 --> 00:19:28,485
Ben Stone, we are prepared
to offer you a permanent position...
245
00:19:28,653 --> 00:19:32,009
...as medical practitioner supreme
in the Grady metropolitan area...
246
00:19:32,173 --> 00:19:34,323
...the squash capital of the South.
247
00:19:34,493 --> 00:19:37,530
The salary's $27,000 per annum,
and plus housing.
248
00:19:38,493 --> 00:19:40,051
Twenty-seven thousand?
249
00:19:40,213 --> 00:19:43,683
- You see, Nick, I told you...
- Hold on. Thirty thousand.
250
00:19:44,573 --> 00:19:47,212
Look, you people don't even know me.
251
00:19:47,373 --> 00:19:49,933
I noticed right off that he
double-knots his shoelaces.
252
00:19:50,093 --> 00:19:52,607
- Excellent credentials.
- Shows he's careful.
253
00:19:53,013 --> 00:19:55,049
Anyway, don't you already have
a doctor?
254
00:19:55,213 --> 00:19:57,044
We got Hogue.
The problem with Hogue is...
255
00:19:57,213 --> 00:19:59,602
- He's old.
- Old and wholly unpleasant.
256
00:19:59,773 --> 00:20:01,843
Point is, he's not going
to be around forever.
257
00:20:02,053 --> 00:20:03,327
Thirty-five thousand?
258
00:20:03,493 --> 00:20:06,451
But that would take a unanimous vote
of the whole city council.
259
00:20:06,613 --> 00:20:08,569
- All in favor say, "Aye. "
- Aye.
260
00:20:08,733 --> 00:20:11,008
- I abstain.
- You always abstain.
261
00:20:11,173 --> 00:20:15,007
Look, I appreciate your problem...
262
00:20:15,173 --> 00:20:17,129
...but I'm not the answer.
263
00:20:17,293 --> 00:20:19,568
I got a big job interview
on the West Coast.
264
00:20:19,733 --> 00:20:23,248
It's very important I get there in the
next couple of days. Plastic surgery.
265
00:20:23,413 --> 00:20:27,452
The truth is, they can probably pay me
about 20 times what you can afford.
266
00:20:27,613 --> 00:20:30,411
There's a lot of similarities
between Grady and Los Angeles.
267
00:20:30,573 --> 00:20:32,131
They're just bigger, is all.
268
00:20:32,973 --> 00:20:34,645
- What do I owe you?
- Ten bucks.
269
00:20:34,813 --> 00:20:37,373
- Ten bucks for coffee and toast?
- Got you.
270
00:20:37,533 --> 00:20:40,172
Tell you what, why don't you wait
to make up your mind...
271
00:20:40,333 --> 00:20:42,164
...till after the squash festival, huh?
272
00:20:42,333 --> 00:20:46,565
All I'm saying, Ben Stone, is give Grady
a chance. I bet you'll like her.
273
00:20:48,093 --> 00:20:52,052
Yeah, well, nice meeting you all.
274
00:20:52,213 --> 00:20:53,885
Thanks.
275
00:21:02,893 --> 00:21:05,965
- Howdy, nurse. How you doing?
- Doctor's lounge is down the hall.
276
00:21:06,133 --> 00:21:10,923
You can change in there, then Lou will
show you around. This is your time card.
277
00:21:12,493 --> 00:21:14,961
You gotta be kidding.
278
00:21:22,253 --> 00:21:25,723
- Local call?
- I don't know anybody local.
279
00:21:25,933 --> 00:21:28,606
Pay phone's in the waiting room.
280
00:21:30,933 --> 00:21:36,246
Yeah, it's... No, it's a collect call
from Dr. Benjamin Stone.
281
00:21:36,413 --> 00:21:38,051
Stone.
282
00:21:38,213 --> 00:21:39,851
Come on, do you mind?
This is a...
283
00:21:40,973 --> 00:21:44,249
...personal call.
- I guess so.
284
00:21:46,533 --> 00:21:51,049
Yeah, hi. Yes, this is Dr. Stone.
Actually, that's why I'm calling.
285
00:21:51,213 --> 00:21:53,773
I don't think I'm gonna be able
to make it on Tuesday.
286
00:21:53,933 --> 00:21:56,447
I just... There was a...
287
00:21:57,933 --> 00:22:00,208
A medical emergency in...
288
00:22:00,373 --> 00:22:03,251
They don't have a doctor,
so I volunteered my services.
289
00:22:03,413 --> 00:22:06,530
I'll need to stay
until the situation stabilizes.
290
00:22:06,693 --> 00:22:08,285
Yeah, medically speaking.
291
00:22:09,173 --> 00:22:11,528
You're interviewing other doctors?
Friday?
292
00:22:11,693 --> 00:22:16,164
Yeah, okay, Friday. I can do that. No,
thank you very much. And thank Doctor...
293
00:22:17,613 --> 00:22:21,288
That was better tap-dancing
than I've seen on Star Search.
294
00:22:23,333 --> 00:22:26,803
If you tell me you're here for
a physical, you're gonna make my day.
295
00:22:26,973 --> 00:22:29,612
It's unprofessional to flirt
with the patients.
296
00:22:29,773 --> 00:22:33,766
I'm just on my way to Beverly Hills.
Plastic surgery.
297
00:22:33,933 --> 00:22:35,685
Not that you need any.
298
00:22:35,853 --> 00:22:37,650
Nice try.
299
00:22:37,813 --> 00:22:41,362
So is this the GQ look
for young urban doctors?
300
00:22:42,373 --> 00:22:45,729
Well, I've spent the last two years
doing 18-hour days in the ER.
301
00:22:45,893 --> 00:22:49,169
I find these are pretty comfortable.
302
00:22:49,573 --> 00:22:51,404
You don't like them?
303
00:22:51,653 --> 00:22:53,211
No.
304
00:22:55,093 --> 00:22:58,529
Okay, fine. Well, I really enjoyed
our time together here...
305
00:22:58,693 --> 00:23:02,572
...but since you're obviously not a
patient, and I'm not getting anywhere...
306
00:23:02,733 --> 00:23:06,328
...tell me where I can find a guy named
Lou, drives an ambulance?
307
00:23:06,493 --> 00:23:08,165
I'm Lou.
308
00:23:17,253 --> 00:23:19,050
Where did all these people come from?
309
00:23:19,213 --> 00:23:22,330
Folks hear there's a doctor on duty,
they come running.
310
00:23:22,493 --> 00:23:24,882
Any old doctor.
311
00:23:27,573 --> 00:23:29,404
Send them in.
312
00:23:30,053 --> 00:23:33,090
Okay, Mr. Tidwell.
313
00:23:33,253 --> 00:23:35,687
What the hell have you got
on your foot?
314
00:23:35,853 --> 00:23:37,366
That's a poultice.
315
00:23:37,533 --> 00:23:41,287
- Nurse Packer!
- I got ahold to Doc Hogue on the CB...
316
00:23:41,453 --> 00:23:43,921
...and he said that that will hold me
till I came in.
317
00:23:44,093 --> 00:23:45,492
- You did this on purpose?
- Yes.
318
00:23:45,653 --> 00:23:48,725
It's chimney soot, biscuit flour
and lard. Doc Hogue said...
319
00:23:48,893 --> 00:23:54,013
Wipe that crap off Mr. Tidwell's foot,
please, and clean that wound out.
320
00:23:55,933 --> 00:23:59,369
- You allergic to penicillin?
- Don't know. Ask Doc Hogue.
321
00:23:59,533 --> 00:24:02,570
Doubt Doc Hogue knows
it's even been discovered.
322
00:24:03,173 --> 00:24:07,166
Okay. Nurse Packer,
I'm gonna wash this with Betadine...
323
00:24:07,333 --> 00:24:11,372
...close it with a butterfly,
give it a sterile dressing.
324
00:24:11,533 --> 00:24:14,252
You sure you ought to be doing that
so darned fast?
325
00:24:14,413 --> 00:24:16,449
I hope so, Mr. Tidwell...
326
00:24:16,613 --> 00:24:18,569
...because je suis fini.
327
00:24:23,293 --> 00:24:26,444
Okay, Mrs. Owens, if you could
please get up on the table...
328
00:24:26,613 --> 00:24:28,126
...put your feet in the stirrups.
329
00:24:35,413 --> 00:24:37,369
We're just here about our mail.
330
00:24:37,853 --> 00:24:41,482
It's from my sister. We don't read.
331
00:24:44,133 --> 00:24:48,126
- This ever happen before, Mr. McClary?
- Hell, yes. It happens.
332
00:24:48,293 --> 00:24:50,602
This ain't nearly the biggest one
I ever took.
333
00:24:50,773 --> 00:24:54,732
I had a hook in my thigh once.
It must have been, I'd say, like...
334
00:24:54,893 --> 00:24:57,043
Oh, excuse me, I... Yeah, well...
335
00:24:57,213 --> 00:25:00,569
- Fishing's a dangerous business.
- Well, it can be.
336
00:25:00,733 --> 00:25:06,649
"And after the cow died, there just
wasn't any reason for him to go on.
337
00:25:07,213 --> 00:25:10,922
Meanwhile, Ellen's got herself
mixed up with a Pakistani gentleman...
338
00:25:11,093 --> 00:25:14,369
...who nobody can understand
what he is saying.
339
00:25:14,933 --> 00:25:16,889
Not even Ellen. "
340
00:25:17,173 --> 00:25:19,607
I don't see any toxic striations.
341
00:25:19,773 --> 00:25:21,206
Red streaks.
342
00:25:21,373 --> 00:25:23,887
You sure it was a black widow?
343
00:25:24,053 --> 00:25:28,205
Here. I kept it in some T.P.
344
00:25:29,773 --> 00:25:31,968
Oh, dear Lord, it's escaped.
345
00:25:34,133 --> 00:25:36,010
- There it is.
- Wait, there he goes.
346
00:25:36,173 --> 00:25:38,926
- Here he goes. Here he goes.
- Step on it.
347
00:25:39,093 --> 00:25:41,846
"She thinks Ray's having an affair
with the pastor's wife...
348
00:25:42,013 --> 00:25:45,244
...but Ray swears
it's his scrub-up rash. "
349
00:25:45,893 --> 00:25:48,885
Ray is a nut, I'm telling you.
350
00:25:49,133 --> 00:25:52,443
It's like a blurred spot
in my vision.
351
00:25:52,613 --> 00:25:57,448
Out there. No. There. No.
No, there.
352
00:26:08,533 --> 00:26:10,569
I'm cured.
353
00:26:11,013 --> 00:26:15,086
"The pastor's wife got busted
for growing marijuana...
354
00:26:15,253 --> 00:26:17,084
...out behind the rectory.
355
00:26:17,253 --> 00:26:22,407
So she'll be spending a spell up in Tupelo
at the minimum-security prison. "
356
00:26:25,013 --> 00:26:27,049
That's it?
357
00:26:28,253 --> 00:26:30,892
What about Ellen and the Pakistani?
358
00:26:40,613 --> 00:26:42,683
Nurse Packer? Nurse Packer.
359
00:26:42,853 --> 00:26:46,607
Where's Doc Hogue? The boy can't
breathe right, and he's turning blue.
360
00:26:46,773 --> 00:26:48,047
I'm the doctor here.
361
00:26:48,773 --> 00:26:51,048
Nurse Packer,
you've got to call Doc Hogue.
362
00:26:51,613 --> 00:26:54,764
- Please.
- It's all right. I'm the doctor.
363
00:26:55,853 --> 00:26:58,128
- How long has he been like this?
- All afternoon.
364
00:26:58,293 --> 00:26:59,806
- What's his name?
- Zeb.
365
00:26:59,973 --> 00:27:02,612
Hey, Zeb, this is going to be
a little cold, all right?
366
00:27:02,773 --> 00:27:04,968
I just wanna hear your heart.
367
00:27:06,093 --> 00:27:07,970
Does your tummy hurt?
368
00:27:08,613 --> 00:27:12,162
All right, take him down to the
examination room. I'll be right there.
369
00:27:12,333 --> 00:27:14,972
You know where that is?
Right there, okay?
370
00:27:15,133 --> 00:27:17,693
Have Zeb get up on the table for me.
371
00:27:19,653 --> 00:27:22,372
- Call Hogue. Get him here.
- He doesn't like to be disturbed.
372
00:27:22,533 --> 00:27:25,445
I really don't care. Forget Hogue.
What's the referral hospital?
373
00:27:25,613 --> 00:27:27,524
- Athens General.
- Call Athens General.
374
00:27:27,693 --> 00:27:30,844
We have a cardiac emergency.
Tell Lou to fire up the ambulance.
375
00:27:31,013 --> 00:27:33,811
No, forget it. They have a helicopter.
Tell them to send it.
376
00:27:33,973 --> 00:27:37,682
- Get me Zeb's medical history.
- I better call Dr. Hogue.
377
00:27:37,853 --> 00:27:41,323
Damn it. Listen to me,
Hogue is not here. I'm here.
378
00:27:41,493 --> 00:27:43,290
You do it.
379
00:27:50,093 --> 00:27:51,685
Here's the situation.
380
00:27:51,853 --> 00:27:55,004
Your son is turning blue
because he has an abnormal mitral valve.
381
00:27:55,173 --> 00:27:58,449
It's causing a back flow of blood in
his heart. We may have to operate.
382
00:27:58,613 --> 00:28:00,171
We'll send him to Athens General.
383
00:28:00,333 --> 00:28:02,927
Dr. Hogue said
you should give the boy a Coke.
384
00:28:03,093 --> 00:28:07,609
He says he's probably got a bellyache
and that you should give him a Coke.
385
00:28:10,533 --> 00:28:13,172
Listen, doctor, I've got a boy here
in cardiac crisis.
386
00:28:13,333 --> 00:28:17,212
You can't treat that with Coca-Cola or
Bisquick. We have to use real medicine.
387
00:28:17,373 --> 00:28:20,092
I'm sending him to Athens General.
You're his doctor...
388
00:28:20,253 --> 00:28:23,131
...so get your fat ass out of bed
and go with him!
389
00:28:25,053 --> 00:28:28,841
- How long will the chopper be?
- Should be here any minute.
390
00:28:41,493 --> 00:28:44,053
- Where's Stone?
- Dr. Hogue.
391
00:28:44,773 --> 00:28:48,288
What the hell kind of snot-nosed
puppy doctor are you anyway?
392
00:28:48,453 --> 00:28:51,570
Wake me up, scare these folks out
of their skivvies.
393
00:28:51,733 --> 00:28:53,883
Mitral valve regurge.
394
00:28:54,053 --> 00:28:58,046
I've had a lot of experience with it in ER.
I've even assisted in surgery to correct.
395
00:28:58,213 --> 00:29:01,967
God only knows how long he's had this,
but you overlooked it. Check his color.
396
00:29:02,133 --> 00:29:04,203
Nurse Packer,
get that crap off the boy.
397
00:29:04,613 --> 00:29:07,525
Gene, you gave him the
bismuth subnitrate, didn't you?
398
00:29:07,693 --> 00:29:10,412
- At first we thought...
- You gave him too much as usual.
399
00:29:11,413 --> 00:29:13,608
Turned him three shades of blue.
400
00:29:13,773 --> 00:29:16,924
- Bismuth subnitrate?
- Homegrown antacid.
401
00:29:17,093 --> 00:29:19,323
You hear a heart murmur?
402
00:29:19,493 --> 00:29:21,085
No, it's hard to detect.
403
00:29:21,253 --> 00:29:24,131
You been sampling
your daddy's chaw?
404
00:29:31,013 --> 00:29:32,605
That will be 65 cents.
405
00:29:36,613 --> 00:29:39,207
Well, nice work, Hollywood.
406
00:29:39,373 --> 00:29:42,012
You were about to open
the chest of a 6-year-old boy...
407
00:29:42,173 --> 00:29:46,086
...to cure a case of diarrhea.
Now, listen up, smart-ass.
408
00:29:46,253 --> 00:29:48,687
Next time I tell you
how to treat a patient of mine...
409
00:29:48,853 --> 00:29:51,606
...you better damn well do it, doctor.
410
00:29:51,773 --> 00:29:54,924
I doubt you'd know crap from Crisco.
411
00:30:04,933 --> 00:30:06,491
Hey.
412
00:30:08,613 --> 00:30:11,366
Yeah, right.
413
00:30:15,213 --> 00:30:18,125
Shit!
414
00:30:21,093 --> 00:30:23,766
Wait. Wait. Hold your horses, doc.
415
00:30:23,933 --> 00:30:27,528
Now, what if I walked in in the middle
of a hernia operation...
416
00:30:27,693 --> 00:30:30,651
...see some poor gentleman's guts
all over?
417
00:30:30,933 --> 00:30:33,208
- You killed my car.
- I resent that.
418
00:30:33,373 --> 00:30:36,285
That car was my life, Melvin.
That car was my baby.
419
00:30:36,453 --> 00:30:39,251
You want me to stop now?
I can put it in some boxes...
420
00:30:39,413 --> 00:30:42,485
...ship it out to Hollywood for you.
No skin off my nose.
421
00:30:42,653 --> 00:30:44,530
You and me called it
an oil pump casing.
422
00:30:44,693 --> 00:30:47,491
Lane had two years of the German
language in high school.
423
00:30:50,813 --> 00:30:52,883
Doc, let's step into my office.
424
00:30:55,653 --> 00:30:58,451
I don't need a car.
I'm moving to Los Angeles.
425
00:30:58,613 --> 00:31:01,446
- What do I need a car for?
- Lash yourself to the mast.
426
00:31:01,613 --> 00:31:04,923
Fella up in Oregon has an oil pump
he could air-express to us tomorrow.
427
00:31:05,093 --> 00:31:09,052
Two hundred thirty-nine bucks,
plus shipping. Only one problem.
428
00:31:09,253 --> 00:31:11,528
Oregon exploded.
429
00:31:11,693 --> 00:31:13,126
No.
430
00:31:13,653 --> 00:31:16,850
He don't take credit. Or checks.
431
00:31:17,013 --> 00:31:20,892
And tomorrow being Saturday,
you can't just wire some cash to him.
432
00:31:21,053 --> 00:31:23,851
Okay, Melvin, let me ask you this.
433
00:31:24,013 --> 00:31:27,369
How do you propose I pay for this?
434
00:31:27,533 --> 00:31:29,012
Well, I was hoping you'd pay me.
435
00:31:29,173 --> 00:31:33,212
Then I can trade him for a front rocker
assembly I got from a '68 Nova, but...
436
00:31:33,373 --> 00:31:37,048
- You don't take credit or checks.
- No, sir. I apologize.
437
00:31:37,213 --> 00:31:38,965
How long will this guy
in Oregon wait?
438
00:31:39,133 --> 00:31:41,966
I imagine I could stall him
till Sunday noon.
439
00:31:42,133 --> 00:31:46,524
Now, he got another taker in Arizona,
but I was first.
440
00:31:49,013 --> 00:31:50,685
Stall him.
441
00:31:54,893 --> 00:31:56,565
- Hi, doc.
- Hi, doc.
442
00:31:56,733 --> 00:32:00,123
- Morning, doc.
- Morning, Ben Stone.
443
00:32:00,293 --> 00:32:02,204
Howdy, y'all.
444
00:32:07,573 --> 00:32:11,122
- Dr. Stone. Dr. Stone, I presume.
- Yeah, that's right.
445
00:32:11,293 --> 00:32:12,692
- Hi.
- Hi.
446
00:32:12,853 --> 00:32:15,083
Say, you're much taller
than they said you were.
447
00:32:16,093 --> 00:32:18,653
I'm sitting on a stool.
448
00:32:19,813 --> 00:32:21,166
And you are?
449
00:32:21,333 --> 00:32:24,370
Dying to get out of this town.
How about you?
450
00:32:24,533 --> 00:32:26,649
- Here's your breakfast.
- I haven't ordered yet.
451
00:32:26,813 --> 00:32:29,885
Compliments of the house.
Don't let old Hogue scare you off.
452
00:32:30,053 --> 00:32:33,329
We know you weren't aiming
to kill that boy last night.
453
00:32:34,013 --> 00:32:36,607
Wait a minute, you're not planning
on staying in Grady?
454
00:32:36,773 --> 00:32:39,412
- Only as long as I have to.
- Thank God.
455
00:32:39,573 --> 00:32:42,212
For a second, I thought they got
their hooks into you too.
456
00:32:42,373 --> 00:32:45,729
- Wait, you don't like Grady?
- No.
457
00:32:46,053 --> 00:32:47,566
So how come you don't leave?
458
00:32:48,413 --> 00:32:49,732
With you?
459
00:32:51,293 --> 00:32:53,170
Is that a proposition, doctor?
460
00:32:54,453 --> 00:32:56,842
I better eat this before it's cold.
Nice meeting you.
461
00:32:57,013 --> 00:32:58,890
Thanks, Lillian.
462
00:33:05,053 --> 00:33:09,331
"Prosser on Torts. " "Civil Procedure. "
A little light reading this morning?
463
00:33:09,493 --> 00:33:10,926
Did I invite you to sit down?
464
00:33:11,093 --> 00:33:14,130
No, but you were going to.
Southern hospitality and all.
465
00:33:15,093 --> 00:33:17,482
- Now what?
- Now let's talk about you.
466
00:33:17,653 --> 00:33:20,451
Okay. I like my privacy.
I'm a vegetarian.
467
00:33:20,613 --> 00:33:23,969
I'd appreciate it if you'd take that slab
of ham to the counter with you.
468
00:33:24,133 --> 00:33:27,205
- It gives me the willies.
- I didn't order this slab.
469
00:33:27,373 --> 00:33:31,286
Now I suppose you'll say something cute
to stall your retreat.
470
00:33:31,453 --> 00:33:33,091
Maybe tell me about the big city...
471
00:33:33,253 --> 00:33:35,892
...all the things I'm missing
living in this dinky town...
472
00:33:36,053 --> 00:33:39,125
...and how you'd like to be the one
to take me out of it.
473
00:33:41,333 --> 00:33:43,847
Isn't that why you're going
to law school?
474
00:33:44,013 --> 00:33:46,288
You want to get out
of this dinky little town.
475
00:33:46,653 --> 00:33:50,805
I'm not going yet. And I plan to practice
in Grady when I'm through.
476
00:33:51,653 --> 00:33:54,213
Yeah, it looks like a hotbed
of legal activity.
477
00:33:54,373 --> 00:33:58,048
Well, malpractice for visiting young
surgeons seems promising.
478
00:33:58,453 --> 00:34:00,045
Who's the green apple, Vialula?
479
00:34:00,773 --> 00:34:03,128
- Henry, this is Ben Stone.
- Hey.
480
00:34:03,293 --> 00:34:05,602
Oh, yeah, the new croaker.
481
00:34:05,773 --> 00:34:07,206
Hank Gordon.
482
00:34:07,373 --> 00:34:08,647
You're in my chair.
483
00:34:10,373 --> 00:34:12,329
- Boyfriend?
- "Friend" friend.
484
00:34:22,213 --> 00:34:24,807
- Need any life insurance?
- What?
485
00:34:24,973 --> 00:34:28,090
You should be vested
in a term life program.
486
00:34:28,253 --> 00:34:30,528
Probably a quarter of a mil to start.
487
00:34:30,813 --> 00:34:33,281
Come by my office.
We could run a "what if. "
488
00:34:33,573 --> 00:34:35,370
Or are you too chicken?
489
00:34:38,453 --> 00:34:41,286
I read somewhere doctors have
the highest suicide rate...
490
00:34:41,453 --> 00:34:43,364
...in any profession except dentistry.
491
00:34:43,533 --> 00:34:47,082
- Is that true?
- I won't underwrite dentists. Nope.
492
00:34:47,253 --> 00:34:50,245
Never trust a man who'll put his hand
in your mouth.
493
00:34:50,573 --> 00:34:53,724
Well, I'd love to stay and hear
where this conversation's headed...
494
00:34:53,893 --> 00:34:56,088
...but if you all will excuse me.
495
00:34:57,213 --> 00:35:00,285
There's something else
I wanted to ask you.
496
00:35:00,853 --> 00:35:05,404
Do doctors know more about sex
than normal people?
497
00:35:08,213 --> 00:35:10,773
I need some ketchup.
498
00:35:11,373 --> 00:35:13,807
I have a fair knowledge
of animal husbandry.
499
00:35:13,973 --> 00:35:16,123
It's all pretty much the same thing.
500
00:35:16,453 --> 00:35:17,806
- Bye, doc.
- Bye.
501
00:35:17,973 --> 00:35:20,441
Women trouble, Ben Stone?
502
00:35:21,093 --> 00:35:22,890
Squat here.
503
00:35:25,653 --> 00:35:28,725
- Regard the Grady squash.
- Looks like a yellow zucchini.
504
00:35:28,893 --> 00:35:33,569
Nope. See, up until 1933, you had your
Grady, you had your zucchini.
505
00:35:33,733 --> 00:35:35,485
They're going at it, gourd to gourd.
506
00:35:35,653 --> 00:35:39,043
Freak tornado accident wiped out
a whole shipment of Gradys...
507
00:35:39,213 --> 00:35:44,128
...bound for, I believe, agricultural
stardom at the Chicago World's Fair.
508
00:35:44,293 --> 00:35:46,409
The zucchini took there.
Never relented.
509
00:35:46,693 --> 00:35:50,527
If it had gone the other way, no telling
where this town would be today.
510
00:35:51,293 --> 00:35:52,931
What are you talking about?
511
00:35:53,613 --> 00:35:56,411
Timing. Same thing with women.
512
00:35:56,573 --> 00:35:59,485
And with Southern women,
they require substantial commitment.
513
00:35:59,653 --> 00:36:02,213
You might have to stay here
for six months, maybe more.
514
00:36:02,373 --> 00:36:05,922
- Are you a betting man, Nick?
- I have been known on occasion.
515
00:36:06,893 --> 00:36:08,884
- Take me about a week.
- Now, wait a minute.
516
00:36:09,053 --> 00:36:13,444
- You mean Vialula in the center pocket?
- Ten bucks.
517
00:36:15,613 --> 00:36:17,888
Okay, you got it.
518
00:36:19,013 --> 00:36:21,368
Feels like I'm fleecing you, Ben Stone.
519
00:36:24,133 --> 00:36:25,885
Easy.
520
00:36:28,693 --> 00:36:30,843
Hello, Nurse Packer.
521
00:36:33,493 --> 00:36:35,006
All right.
522
00:36:35,173 --> 00:36:37,687
Okay, let's get something straight
right now.
523
00:36:37,853 --> 00:36:42,449
I got eight years of higher education, one
year of internship, one year of residency.
524
00:36:42,613 --> 00:36:44,046
I'm $ 70,000 in debt.
525
00:36:44,213 --> 00:36:46,602
Now I'm waylaid in this heehaw hell...
526
00:36:46,773 --> 00:36:50,163
...and you insist on clocking me in
and out like I'm a factory worker.
527
00:36:50,333 --> 00:36:54,008
Well, no! N-O, no!
This is where I draw the line.
528
00:36:55,213 --> 00:36:58,171
I believe you have a visitor, doctor.
529
00:37:01,453 --> 00:37:05,924
Doc, my foot feels so good,
I brought you this pig.
530
00:37:09,213 --> 00:37:10,885
Okay.
531
00:37:11,053 --> 00:37:13,931
I can't abide being in no man's debt.
532
00:37:14,093 --> 00:37:16,368
This pig's all I got to give.
533
00:37:18,253 --> 00:37:21,006
I'm already paid, more or less,
by the hospital.
534
00:37:21,173 --> 00:37:24,882
- I really can't accept your pig.
- It's a done deal.
535
00:37:25,893 --> 00:37:28,009
She's your pig now.
536
00:37:29,133 --> 00:37:31,249
God bless you both.
537
00:37:36,973 --> 00:37:39,771
Keep your animal outside.
This is a hospital.
538
00:37:53,013 --> 00:37:55,243
- Nice pig there, doc.
- Thank you.
539
00:37:55,413 --> 00:37:58,132
- Lovely pig.
- Thank you very much. Appreciate it.
540
00:37:58,293 --> 00:38:01,524
- Nice pig, doc!
- Thank you.
541
00:38:01,693 --> 00:38:04,526
Thank you all very much.
542
00:38:10,533 --> 00:38:15,971
Ben Stone. Say, I think I just took away
your last reason to go to California.
543
00:38:16,133 --> 00:38:18,886
Norrisville Drum and Bugle Corps.
544
00:38:19,053 --> 00:38:21,169
They played last four years
in the Rose Parade.
545
00:38:21,333 --> 00:38:24,689
I got them under exclusive contract
to the Grady Squash Festival.
546
00:38:24,853 --> 00:38:26,252
I'm not staying.
547
00:38:26,653 --> 00:38:28,052
Sure, you aren't.
548
00:38:28,213 --> 00:38:31,205
Oh, by the way, dinner at my house
tomorrow night, 6:00.
549
00:38:31,413 --> 00:38:32,892
- Dinner?
- Didn't I tell you?
550
00:38:33,053 --> 00:38:34,327
You're guest of honor.
551
00:38:35,253 --> 00:38:38,643
Shoot a monkey. If my head wasn't
attached, I'd need wood screws.
552
00:38:38,813 --> 00:38:40,326
- Nice pig, doc.
- Thanks.
553
00:38:40,493 --> 00:38:42,609
Can I bring a date?
554
00:38:42,773 --> 00:38:45,333
Well, I don't know. Can you?
555
00:38:47,453 --> 00:38:51,162
This is Ben Stone you're talking to.
Come on, pig.
556
00:38:52,613 --> 00:38:54,808
Fine pig, doc.
557
00:38:59,493 --> 00:39:00,608
Melvin.
558
00:39:01,213 --> 00:39:04,364
Melvin. Melvin.
559
00:39:04,573 --> 00:39:07,963
Hey, doc. We're just rehearsing
for the pageant.
560
00:39:08,133 --> 00:39:11,364
We doing a pollination rap song.
561
00:39:14,373 --> 00:39:15,647
Melvin, listen.
562
00:39:15,813 --> 00:39:20,091
I don't have the money
for the oil-gepumpkin-hausen thing.
563
00:39:22,213 --> 00:39:26,047
I mean, when I say I haven't got
the money, that's not entirely true.
564
00:39:26,213 --> 00:39:28,044
I have the money.
I'm good for the money.
565
00:39:28,213 --> 00:39:31,125
It's just a matter of accessing
the money in a period of time.
566
00:39:31,293 --> 00:39:33,932
Can we work something out, please?
567
00:39:34,093 --> 00:39:37,005
This car has got to be ready
by the time I leave.
568
00:39:40,253 --> 00:39:43,290
- That your pig?
- Yeah.
569
00:39:50,933 --> 00:39:54,846
You want to trade? Pig for the part?
570
00:39:55,613 --> 00:39:57,683
If you can part with the pig.
571
00:40:00,653 --> 00:40:01,642
Good.
572
00:40:06,785 --> 00:40:09,219
- Hi.
- Hi.
573
00:40:14,145 --> 00:40:17,296
- You just pick those?
- Yes, ma'am.
574
00:40:18,105 --> 00:40:21,381
They're protected by law.
State flowers.
575
00:40:23,865 --> 00:40:25,537
Figures.
576
00:40:25,945 --> 00:40:30,063
I'm already serving time for the fence.
May as well take my chances, right?
577
00:40:30,225 --> 00:40:34,457
Mama. Mama, who is it?
Who are you?
578
00:40:37,745 --> 00:40:39,463
I'm Ben.
579
00:40:40,705 --> 00:40:43,139
Emma, take these inside
and put them in some water.
580
00:40:43,305 --> 00:40:45,694
You're not supposed to pick these.
581
00:40:46,025 --> 00:40:47,856
Use the plastic pitcher.
582
00:40:50,425 --> 00:40:52,336
Yeah, she's mine.
583
00:40:52,505 --> 00:40:55,178
She's 4. You wanna retreat now or...?
584
00:40:55,345 --> 00:40:56,903
No, no, no.
585
00:40:57,065 --> 00:40:59,738
No. Actually, I just came by...
586
00:40:59,905 --> 00:41:03,261
...because I need a date for dinner
tomorrow night.
587
00:41:03,425 --> 00:41:06,303
- Nick Nicholson's?
- Yeah. How'd you know?
588
00:41:06,625 --> 00:41:09,935
Can't poop in this town without
everyone knowing what color it is.
589
00:41:16,585 --> 00:41:19,861
I was fixing to have a cocktail.
590
00:41:20,065 --> 00:41:21,817
Are you in a hurry?
591
00:41:24,305 --> 00:41:26,296
Oh, man, that's tart.
592
00:41:26,465 --> 00:41:30,424
It's called a " Slow Comfortable Screw
Up Against a Wall," with a twist.
593
00:41:30,585 --> 00:41:33,497
- Is that a Grady specialty?
- No.
594
00:41:33,665 --> 00:41:36,020
- New York City.
- New York?
595
00:41:36,185 --> 00:41:39,336
Yeah. I worked at one of those
weirdo theme bars on the West Side.
596
00:41:39,505 --> 00:41:42,099
Wayne and I went to college
in New York.
597
00:41:42,785 --> 00:41:44,503
Then he dropped out.
598
00:41:44,665 --> 00:41:48,499
I got pregnant.
He couldn't get work, so I bartended.
599
00:41:48,665 --> 00:41:51,020
I managed to finish school, though.
600
00:41:51,185 --> 00:41:53,653
- Wayne isn't still...?
- Wayne...
601
00:41:53,825 --> 00:41:56,817
...is a professional dancer.
602
00:41:56,985 --> 00:41:58,941
One of those
exotic Chippendale things.
603
00:41:59,105 --> 00:42:02,415
He's in Boston, Miami...
I can't keep track.
604
00:42:02,825 --> 00:42:05,055
He left me after Emma was born.
605
00:42:05,225 --> 00:42:08,137
I divorced him
and came running back here.
606
00:42:08,545 --> 00:42:13,539
Wayne has this extremely high opinion
of his legs.
607
00:42:13,705 --> 00:42:16,299
You know, I just can't picture you
in the big city.
608
00:42:16,465 --> 00:42:18,217
New York.
609
00:42:18,545 --> 00:42:20,024
It's like me...
610
00:42:20,185 --> 00:42:22,494
- In Grady?
- Yeah.
611
00:42:23,505 --> 00:42:26,019
Well, peel an onion,
there's lots of layers.
612
00:42:27,985 --> 00:42:29,464
What layer is Hank on?
613
00:42:30,705 --> 00:42:33,583
Henry Gordon's sweet on me.
614
00:42:34,105 --> 00:42:35,936
And he's pretty decent and solid...
615
00:42:36,105 --> 00:42:39,461
...once you get past the " Insurance
Rebel Without a Clause" routine.
616
00:42:40,105 --> 00:42:42,221
Decent and solid.
617
00:42:42,745 --> 00:42:44,019
Very romantic.
618
00:42:46,825 --> 00:42:51,660
I can see you coming from half a mile
away, Dr. Stone.
619
00:42:51,825 --> 00:42:53,975
You and your slick city ways.
620
00:42:54,145 --> 00:42:55,863
I suspect your version of romance...
621
00:42:56,025 --> 00:42:58,937
...is whatever will separate me
from my panties.
622
00:43:00,465 --> 00:43:03,901
Look, all I'm talking about is dinner.
623
00:43:04,065 --> 00:43:06,704
In public. Wear a dress.
624
00:43:06,865 --> 00:43:09,015
Panties are optional.
625
00:43:10,385 --> 00:43:14,264
Well, I never have had dinner
at the mayor's house.
626
00:43:14,425 --> 00:43:16,461
Oh, boy.
627
00:43:17,065 --> 00:43:20,216
And after all,
how could I possibly refuse the man...
628
00:43:20,385 --> 00:43:22,535
...who saved Jasmine
from the butcher?
629
00:43:23,945 --> 00:43:27,255
- What are you talking about?
- Tidwell's pig.
630
00:43:27,425 --> 00:43:29,541
He was about to sell her
for pork chops...
631
00:43:29,705 --> 00:43:32,583
...if you hadn't fixed his foot,
made him feel guilty.
632
00:43:32,745 --> 00:43:36,101
Emma loves pigs.
You keeping her over at your house?
633
00:43:42,785 --> 00:43:44,457
Lane, where's Melvin?
634
00:43:44,785 --> 00:43:48,061
Where's Melvin? I want my pig back.
635
00:43:50,305 --> 00:43:53,058
Did you say he went to church?
At this hour?
636
00:43:55,465 --> 00:43:59,777
Are you allowed to come out here?
I can't understand what you're saying.
637
00:43:59,945 --> 00:44:03,301
Melvin's gone to church.
He's gone to Tylerville.
638
00:44:03,465 --> 00:44:05,854
The pig got took to the butcher.
639
00:44:06,625 --> 00:44:08,820
Melvin took my pig to the butcher.
640
00:44:09,585 --> 00:44:11,143
What?
641
00:44:19,025 --> 00:44:21,380
Mr. Crawford, where's my pig?
642
00:44:21,545 --> 00:44:24,139
You know, Jasmine, my pig.
Is she still alive?
643
00:44:24,305 --> 00:44:26,773
- Yes. She's in back.
- Thank God. Thank God.
644
00:44:26,945 --> 00:44:29,175
- I want her back.
- Doc...
645
00:44:29,345 --> 00:44:31,859
I know what you're going to say.
Do you take plastic?
646
00:44:32,025 --> 00:44:34,619
Not unless it's wrapped around
a stack of cash.
647
00:44:34,785 --> 00:44:36,503
Maybe we can work it out in trade.
648
00:44:36,665 --> 00:44:39,862
I don't know. I ain't been sick
in three years, doc.
649
00:44:40,625 --> 00:44:42,820
I got an idea.
650
00:44:50,345 --> 00:44:54,782
Where'd you learn to carve like that?
You're pretty darn good with a knife.
651
00:44:59,825 --> 00:45:01,781
- Hey, Maddie. Hey, Emma.
- Hi, doc.
652
00:45:01,945 --> 00:45:04,539
You guys are pig-sitting
for me tonight?
653
00:45:04,705 --> 00:45:06,138
Hey, Jasmine.
654
00:45:06,305 --> 00:45:07,863
- Who are you?
- Don't tease me.
655
00:45:08,025 --> 00:45:10,061
I'm serious.
You look like Lou, but prettier.
656
00:45:10,225 --> 00:45:13,661
I'm warning you, Stone, I could
probably whoop you in a fistfight.
657
00:45:13,825 --> 00:45:16,862
- Be a good girl.
- Bye.
658
00:45:17,025 --> 00:45:18,663
- Be a good girl.
- We'll be late.
659
00:45:18,825 --> 00:45:22,613
Not too much TV for her.
She's a real pig about that.
660
00:45:26,505 --> 00:45:31,454
Hi. Come on in. Welcome.
You look fantastic.
661
00:45:31,625 --> 00:45:33,297
- And you look handsome too.
- Thanks.
662
00:45:33,465 --> 00:45:36,423
Daddy's in the back yard tending
the firestorm in the barbecue.
663
00:45:36,585 --> 00:45:40,817
- So you're Nick's daughter.
- Gosh, I hope so, I'm in his will.
664
00:45:40,985 --> 00:45:43,374
Hey, y'all, look who's here.
665
00:45:44,025 --> 00:45:46,095
Hello, Lou. Hello, Stone.
666
00:45:46,265 --> 00:45:48,017
Check Hollywood for knives.
667
00:45:48,185 --> 00:45:52,622
I don't want him operating on me later
in case I sneeze or something.
668
00:45:53,665 --> 00:45:55,781
Isn't this gonna be fun?
669
00:45:57,545 --> 00:46:01,584
- Oh, no, thank you, I'm a vegetarian.
- I know, dear, but I'm still hopeful.
670
00:46:01,745 --> 00:46:04,134
So am I. Vegetarian.
671
00:46:04,305 --> 00:46:06,899
- Since when?
- Then have some of this squash, Ben.
672
00:46:07,065 --> 00:46:08,578
Flesh of the earth. Don't be shy.
673
00:46:08,745 --> 00:46:11,817
I'm not sure I trust a man
who doesn't eat meat.
674
00:46:11,985 --> 00:46:15,580
Don't be so provincial.
Where's your sense of adventure?
675
00:46:15,745 --> 00:46:20,216
I'd probably give vegetarians a better rate
for life insurance than a smoker, though.
676
00:46:20,385 --> 00:46:23,024
On account of that
lower cholesterol factor.
677
00:46:23,185 --> 00:46:27,337
Daddy, please, new subject.
We wanna hear all about California.
678
00:46:27,505 --> 00:46:30,258
I heard the women out there
have their chests enlarged...
679
00:46:30,425 --> 00:46:33,497
...their thighs vacuumed
and barf on purpose.
680
00:46:33,665 --> 00:46:35,701
Not while people are eating.
681
00:46:35,865 --> 00:46:39,096
Yeah, tell us about
real doctoring, Stone.
682
00:46:39,265 --> 00:46:41,859
You know, big-city medicine.
683
00:46:42,025 --> 00:46:45,574
So much has changed in the 40 years
since you went to medical school...
684
00:46:45,745 --> 00:46:47,337
...I wouldn't know where to start.
685
00:46:48,745 --> 00:46:50,736
- Smart-ass.
- Got you good.
686
00:46:51,225 --> 00:46:53,978
- More squash, Ben?
- No. I mean, no, thank you.
687
00:46:54,745 --> 00:46:59,739
Out of the cradle
Endlessly rocking
688
00:46:59,905 --> 00:47:03,215
Out of the mockingbird's throat
689
00:47:03,385 --> 00:47:06,058
The musical shuttle
690
00:47:06,225 --> 00:47:08,216
Out of the ninth month
691
00:47:08,385 --> 00:47:11,183
- Is this one of the long ones?
- No.
692
00:47:12,785 --> 00:47:14,503
Long ones?
693
00:47:15,145 --> 00:47:17,420
Doc Hogue does the complete
Walt Whitman...
694
00:47:17,585 --> 00:47:19,894
...if you don't monitor his drinking.
695
00:47:20,065 --> 00:47:23,501
Down from the shower'd halo
696
00:47:23,665 --> 00:47:27,578
Up from the mystical play of shadows
697
00:47:30,385 --> 00:47:33,616
Man, I haven't seen
this many stars in a long time.
698
00:47:34,065 --> 00:47:37,580
I used to get so bored in this town,
I'd try to count them.
699
00:47:37,905 --> 00:47:39,816
I could've gone to med school.
700
00:47:39,985 --> 00:47:43,739
Just the science part of it
I had a problem with.
701
00:47:43,905 --> 00:47:45,736
I'd lie on my back,
sometimes Wayne...
702
00:47:45,905 --> 00:47:48,180
...would be on top of me
doing the wild thing.
703
00:47:48,345 --> 00:47:51,417
- It was hard not to lose my place.
- God, that's romantic.
704
00:47:51,585 --> 00:47:53,098
Then we moved to Manhattan...
705
00:47:53,425 --> 00:47:55,985
...you could hardly see any stars,
let alone count them.
706
00:47:56,145 --> 00:47:59,057
The stars I'd like to see
are more of the two-legged kind.
707
00:47:59,225 --> 00:48:01,455
Earthquake insurance
is something I'm keen...
708
00:48:01,625 --> 00:48:03,536
...to take a whack at out there in L.A.
709
00:48:03,705 --> 00:48:05,741
Talk about your no-brainer.
710
00:48:05,905 --> 00:48:09,944
Collect premiums for a gazillion years,
and if the big one ever does hit...
711
00:48:10,105 --> 00:48:12,983
...declare bankruptcy and retire.
712
00:48:14,625 --> 00:48:17,458
- Decent and solid.
- Nobody's perfect.
713
00:48:17,625 --> 00:48:19,695
Hank, you gotta take Hogue home.
714
00:48:19,865 --> 00:48:22,174
He's about to launch
into "Song of Myself. "
715
00:48:22,345 --> 00:48:24,142
My Lord.
716
00:48:24,585 --> 00:48:27,224
Never a dull moment,
hey, Ben Stone?
717
00:48:27,385 --> 00:48:29,182
I'll call you later.
718
00:48:29,545 --> 00:48:31,183
Make sure you got home okay.
719
00:48:48,385 --> 00:48:50,853
- Good night.
- Night.
720
00:49:24,825 --> 00:49:27,817
- I forgot my pig.
- She's sleeping with Em.
721
00:49:27,985 --> 00:49:30,374
I'll drop her off in the morning.
722
00:49:30,785 --> 00:49:33,743
Greek death? Take the edge off.
723
00:49:33,905 --> 00:49:36,100
Take the edge off what?
724
00:49:37,545 --> 00:49:39,137
Me.
725
00:49:41,825 --> 00:49:46,740
- You ran all the way over here.
- Oh, yeah. I ran and...
726
00:49:46,905 --> 00:49:49,465
...walked. Got a stitch in my side.
727
00:49:49,625 --> 00:49:51,661
Why are you giving me
the full-court press...
728
00:49:51,825 --> 00:49:54,817
...if you're only leaving
in a couple of days anyway?
729
00:49:55,425 --> 00:49:57,017
You know, I don't know.
730
00:49:57,185 --> 00:50:02,100
It's like it's some kind
of mystical force.
731
00:50:02,265 --> 00:50:04,733
Force or hormones?
732
00:50:05,225 --> 00:50:07,375
Hey, come on.
733
00:50:07,545 --> 00:50:09,661
All I wanna do is talk.
734
00:50:11,905 --> 00:50:14,373
And get you sloppy drunk.
735
00:50:15,065 --> 00:50:16,783
Honesty. That's a new approach.
736
00:50:16,945 --> 00:50:21,814
I know. You're forcing me
into uncharted territory here.
737
00:50:22,705 --> 00:50:25,458
Hell, I might even try chastity.
738
00:50:26,225 --> 00:50:28,785
Seems to work for Hank.
739
00:50:33,505 --> 00:50:35,575
Speak of the devil.
740
00:50:37,945 --> 00:50:41,460
Listen, maybe a rain check?
741
00:50:43,145 --> 00:50:46,421
I never should have accepted
those flowers.
742
00:50:51,265 --> 00:50:52,778
What about tomorrow night?
743
00:50:52,945 --> 00:50:55,539
Desperation. I like this.
744
00:50:57,025 --> 00:51:03,339
Still, I wouldn't want the mayor to have
to lose 10 bucks over me, you know?
745
00:51:23,225 --> 00:51:24,544
Morning.
746
00:51:27,225 --> 00:51:28,977
Funny. Funny.
747
00:51:33,305 --> 00:51:37,423
Morning, doc.
That's a nice pig you got there!
748
00:51:37,745 --> 00:51:39,622
Yeah, that's what they tell me.
749
00:51:39,785 --> 00:51:44,905
Hey, Mr. McClary, be careful you don't
get another hook in your finger!
750
00:51:45,065 --> 00:51:49,741
Don't worry, doc.
We're not using hooks today.
751
00:52:01,145 --> 00:52:03,534
It's all right. It's all right.
752
00:52:09,825 --> 00:52:13,818
- He's a nice pig, doc.
- It's a she, actually.
753
00:52:18,225 --> 00:52:20,341
Relax, will you?
754
00:52:21,665 --> 00:52:24,543
House calls are probably
my favorite part of the job.
755
00:52:24,705 --> 00:52:29,495
Just driving out into the country, seeing
what might pop up around the next bend.
756
00:52:30,225 --> 00:52:32,136
Rainbows.
757
00:52:32,385 --> 00:52:34,182
Frost on the kudzu.
758
00:52:34,905 --> 00:52:39,262
John Muir said it, " Most people
are on the world, not in it. "
759
00:52:42,865 --> 00:52:44,139
What?
760
00:52:45,305 --> 00:52:47,057
Nothing.
761
00:52:49,745 --> 00:52:51,383
What?
762
00:53:04,305 --> 00:53:07,138
Listen, you better let me handle
this one alone.
763
00:53:07,305 --> 00:53:10,183
- Obstetrical exam.
- Okay.
764
00:53:11,105 --> 00:53:14,256
"So Jimmy Joe went over to
the Pakistani's house with a shotgun. "
765
00:53:14,425 --> 00:53:17,735
Excuse me.
Jimmy Joe is Ellen's brother?
766
00:53:17,905 --> 00:53:19,975
No, no. Boyfriend.
767
00:53:20,505 --> 00:53:22,655
I was stumped on that one too.
768
00:53:22,825 --> 00:53:25,862
"He stayed outside shooting holes
in the fella's foreign car...
769
00:53:26,025 --> 00:53:28,858
...until Ellen came out and agreed
to come back home with him.
770
00:53:29,025 --> 00:53:32,222
It's the most romantic thing
Jimmy Joe has ever done for her. "
771
00:53:37,985 --> 00:53:39,418
Tough one.
772
00:53:39,585 --> 00:53:43,021
How's Ellen making out
with the Pakistani man?
773
00:53:45,905 --> 00:53:47,418
Get him, get him. Come on, Bubba.
774
00:53:49,825 --> 00:53:53,500
I said... I said, no shots.
775
00:54:03,385 --> 00:54:05,182
This won't hurt.
776
00:54:05,345 --> 00:54:08,018
Well, I don't see an infection.
777
00:54:08,265 --> 00:54:09,983
But...
778
00:54:12,465 --> 00:54:14,535
Okay, hold still.
779
00:54:18,625 --> 00:54:21,185
- What is that, a V8?
- He did it.
780
00:54:23,665 --> 00:54:27,180
You know, house calls used to be
essential to every doctor's practice.
781
00:54:27,345 --> 00:54:30,257
The only way to know your patients
was to see where they live.
782
00:54:30,425 --> 00:54:32,416
How they lived.
783
00:54:33,105 --> 00:54:34,777
Maybe when I get to Halberstrom's...
784
00:54:34,945 --> 00:54:37,857
...I'll get them to institute some kind
of visitation program.
785
00:54:38,025 --> 00:54:39,299
Damn it.
786
00:54:43,745 --> 00:54:45,383
Lou?
787
00:54:48,585 --> 00:54:50,143
Hey, Lou!
788
00:54:53,585 --> 00:54:56,179
Do you see another one?
They mark their way with these.
789
00:54:56,345 --> 00:55:00,224
They're too stupid or too drunk to
remember where they were most times.
790
00:55:00,385 --> 00:55:02,819
- Who?
- Hunters.
791
00:55:03,465 --> 00:55:06,582
Maybe this is the end of...
Yeah. See, there it is.
792
00:55:06,745 --> 00:55:09,100
That's where they sit
and wait for the slaughter.
793
00:55:09,265 --> 00:55:13,497
It's not like they do it for food either.
God, it gets me so hot.
794
00:55:18,345 --> 00:55:20,575
You wanna help me here?
795
00:55:21,065 --> 00:55:22,418
What are you doing?
796
00:55:23,345 --> 00:55:24,744
I'm urinating.
797
00:55:26,145 --> 00:55:28,978
You just drop trou
whenever you feel like it.
798
00:55:29,145 --> 00:55:32,979
Well, it scares the deer away
so the hunters won't get them.
799
00:55:34,865 --> 00:55:37,504
Why don't you just, you know,
say "boo" or something?
800
00:55:37,665 --> 00:55:41,340
I try to spread it around.
A little here, a little there.
801
00:55:42,905 --> 00:55:45,180
Feel free to join in.
802
00:56:06,985 --> 00:56:10,660
Anyway, it's not like I planned
to be pregnant at 19...
803
00:56:10,825 --> 00:56:12,816
...but it could have been worse
than Wayne.
804
00:56:12,985 --> 00:56:15,055
Wendall Barnes.
805
00:56:15,225 --> 00:56:16,544
You'd be interested in him.
806
00:56:16,705 --> 00:56:19,777
He comes from a whole family
that doesn't have sweat glands.
807
00:56:19,945 --> 00:56:22,937
Really? I'm fascinated
by the gland-less.
808
00:56:23,105 --> 00:56:24,379
I guess it's genetic.
809
00:56:24,545 --> 00:56:27,901
During the summer, they all sleep under
the house on account of the heat.
810
00:56:28,065 --> 00:56:31,262
That's a touching story. Really.
Thanks for sharing that with me.
811
00:56:31,425 --> 00:56:35,020
You don't see a lot of things in Grady,
but what you do see, you see a lot of.
812
00:56:35,185 --> 00:56:37,141
Yeah, I'm from a small town myself.
813
00:56:37,585 --> 00:56:39,177
What?
814
00:56:40,585 --> 00:56:45,101
Marionville, Indiana.
Population: 2106.
815
00:56:45,265 --> 00:56:48,257
Home of the world's largest
steam engine.
816
00:56:48,745 --> 00:56:50,337
But you told everybody that you...
817
00:56:50,505 --> 00:56:54,214
No, no, no. Everybody assumed
I was a big-city guy.
818
00:56:54,385 --> 00:56:56,615
Nobody asked.
819
00:56:56,785 --> 00:56:59,299
Anyway, I got out,
and I'm staying out.
820
00:57:01,625 --> 00:57:04,139
Have you still got
your whole family there?
821
00:57:04,305 --> 00:57:06,614
Well, they talked about leaving...
822
00:57:06,785 --> 00:57:09,424
...but my dad never quite...
823
00:57:10,465 --> 00:57:12,660
They lived there, they died there.
824
00:57:12,825 --> 00:57:14,975
For better or for worse.
825
00:57:15,465 --> 00:57:19,663
So when I left home, I swore
to myself I was never going back.
826
00:57:20,585 --> 00:57:23,145
It's not the place, it's the person.
827
00:57:24,065 --> 00:57:27,182
Be careful what you wish for,
Ben Stone, you might get it.
828
00:57:27,385 --> 00:57:28,864
What's that supposed to mean?
829
00:57:29,025 --> 00:57:31,585
You never been back,
not even to see your friends?
830
00:57:31,745 --> 00:57:34,862
Well, who's got time for friends?
831
00:57:39,225 --> 00:57:42,456
No, you gotta get Dr. Stone
back here ASAP.
832
00:57:42,625 --> 00:57:44,695
We got a possible
coronary emergency.
833
00:57:44,865 --> 00:57:48,699
- Can't Doc Hogue handle this?
- It is Hogue. Over.
834
00:57:52,425 --> 00:57:54,780
- Hey, lie down.
- Oh, crap, I'm doomed.
835
00:57:55,145 --> 00:57:57,056
Lie down now.
You're having a heart attack.
836
00:57:57,225 --> 00:57:59,181
My angina's acting up is all.
837
00:57:59,345 --> 00:58:02,382
- Got any nitro pills down there?
- No, get a bolus of lidocaine.
838
00:58:02,545 --> 00:58:04,820
I'm the senior sawbones around here.
839
00:58:04,985 --> 00:58:08,216
PVCs are too close to your T-waves.
In 30 seconds, you're in trouble.
840
00:58:08,385 --> 00:58:09,784
Get him away from me.
841
00:58:09,945 --> 00:58:13,494
If I'm wrong, lidocaine won't hurt.
If you're wrong, it's a ventricular fib.
842
00:58:13,665 --> 00:58:15,223
I'm never wrong.
843
00:58:16,705 --> 00:58:19,060
Get the defibrillator over here.
844
00:58:19,305 --> 00:58:20,704
Never wrong.
845
00:58:20,905 --> 00:58:22,861
Four hundred watts.
846
00:58:23,145 --> 00:58:24,419
Clear. Clear!
847
00:58:26,945 --> 00:58:28,503
Heartbeat.
848
00:58:28,665 --> 00:58:31,896
- Sixty.
- Wow, you mean he actually has one.
849
00:58:32,065 --> 00:58:34,533
Keep him on oxygen
and set the lidocaine drip.
850
00:58:35,585 --> 00:58:37,496
Guess I'm staying here tonight.
851
00:58:50,345 --> 00:58:51,858
Oh, doctor.
852
00:58:52,025 --> 00:58:54,255
I've got your bed ready.
853
00:58:56,385 --> 00:58:57,864
Right.
854
00:59:01,865 --> 00:59:03,139
Sleep well, doctor.
855
00:59:11,225 --> 00:59:13,500
At which point, all the bees,
including Melvin...
856
00:59:13,665 --> 00:59:16,054
...lunged off the edge
of the stage like lemmings.
857
00:59:16,225 --> 00:59:18,978
- A standing ovation.
- Variations on a theme.
858
00:59:19,145 --> 00:59:20,498
Sorry I missed it.
859
00:59:20,665 --> 00:59:23,975
That's the first squash pageant
that I missed in 15 years.
860
00:59:24,145 --> 00:59:25,498
What's going on here?
861
00:59:25,665 --> 00:59:29,578
It's called moral support
for the recovering patient.
862
00:59:29,745 --> 00:59:31,178
Cherry cobbler, Ben?
863
00:59:31,345 --> 00:59:35,258
Everybody out. Let's go.
Come on, visiting hours are over.
864
00:59:35,425 --> 00:59:39,941
Don't mind Doc Hollywood. He doesn't
know what it means to be beloved.
865
00:59:41,745 --> 00:59:45,260
If you've come to clean the room,
my bedpan's ripe.
866
00:59:49,785 --> 00:59:52,982
Oh, no.
Not Maddie's sweet potato pie.
867
00:59:53,145 --> 00:59:55,705
You can razz me all you want, doc.
868
00:59:56,145 --> 00:59:58,784
I saved your life last night.
869
00:59:59,025 --> 01:00:01,858
You know it, and I know it.
870
01:00:02,785 --> 01:00:04,503
Gotcha.
871
01:01:32,625 --> 01:01:35,662
Dr. Halberstrom, please.
It's Ben Stone calling.
872
01:01:36,505 --> 01:01:38,655
It's regarding...
873
01:01:39,185 --> 01:01:43,656
I'm not gonna be able to make
my interview on Friday.
874
01:01:44,225 --> 01:01:49,219
I realize the doctor has a tight schedule.
I'm not gonna be able to leave without...
875
01:01:51,185 --> 01:01:52,459
Right.
876
01:01:52,625 --> 01:01:56,538
Is there any way that he can reschedule
the appointment for another time?
877
01:01:57,265 --> 01:01:59,904
All right. Thanks a lot.
878
01:02:27,945 --> 01:02:31,255
Here you go. Get hot and take a shot.
Get hot and take a shot.
879
01:02:31,425 --> 01:02:33,017
What's the object of this one, pal?
880
01:02:33,185 --> 01:02:35,460
Ten shots a dollar.
Five bull's-eyes win a possum.
881
01:02:35,625 --> 01:02:39,095
- Suppose I was to hit five out of five.
- I'll give you two possums.
882
01:02:47,465 --> 01:02:52,016
Sir, run Henry a tab.
He feels deadly today.
883
01:02:54,305 --> 01:02:56,739
Evening, Dr. Stone.
884
01:03:09,385 --> 01:03:10,704
Hey, doc.
885
01:03:13,465 --> 01:03:16,502
The new one's in.
Your chariot's good as new.
886
01:03:16,665 --> 01:03:18,974
Or good as new used, since it's old.
887
01:03:19,145 --> 01:03:21,943
- You fixed my car?
- Even all the ashtrays.
888
01:03:22,105 --> 01:03:24,221
Oh, man, I can't believe this.
889
01:03:24,385 --> 01:03:25,659
Melvin, thanks, man.
890
01:03:27,825 --> 01:03:29,543
There's always some extra parts...
891
01:03:29,705 --> 01:03:32,014
...when I put them back together.
I don't know why.
892
01:03:32,185 --> 01:03:35,382
But you go ahead on. Keep them.
893
01:03:39,785 --> 01:03:41,935
- Dance with me or I'm dog food.
- What?
894
01:03:42,105 --> 01:03:45,336
- Wendall Barnes.
- Of the gland-less Barnes?
895
01:03:45,505 --> 01:03:47,735
- Jesus.
- Yeah. Come on.
896
01:03:47,905 --> 01:03:50,100
Absolutely.
897
01:04:04,825 --> 01:04:06,577
You see, the trick...
898
01:04:07,185 --> 01:04:11,178
...is just to visualize the target
on the backs of your eyeballs...
899
01:04:11,345 --> 01:04:16,100
...and then pretend you're just
shooting yourself in the eye.
900
01:04:23,305 --> 01:04:25,500
I can't keep up.
901
01:04:43,425 --> 01:04:45,063
How's Hogue?
902
01:04:45,225 --> 01:04:46,817
Meaner than ever.
903
01:04:53,545 --> 01:04:55,297
Dance?
904
01:05:01,305 --> 01:05:03,216
Where's Hank?
905
01:05:03,465 --> 01:05:05,296
I forget.
906
01:07:02,865 --> 01:07:04,856
The music stopped.
907
01:07:05,385 --> 01:07:07,216
What music?
908
01:07:11,025 --> 01:07:12,743
Dr. Stone.
909
01:07:13,185 --> 01:07:16,257
- I have a present for you.
- Thanks, judge.
910
01:07:16,425 --> 01:07:20,179
I want to thank you for saving
my old friend Hogue's miserable life.
911
01:07:20,345 --> 01:07:22,540
I wouldn't be able
to call myself a Christian...
912
01:07:22,705 --> 01:07:25,378
...if I didn't pardon you
on the remainder of your sentence.
913
01:07:25,545 --> 01:07:27,501
You're free to go
whenever you want.
914
01:07:27,665 --> 01:07:29,781
What I wouldn't give to be young
on the road...
915
01:07:29,945 --> 01:07:32,664
...footloose and fancy-free.
916
01:07:32,825 --> 01:07:35,897
Did I tell you? I've already got plans
for a new fence.
917
01:07:36,065 --> 01:07:38,340
All of a sudden,
I got a bug in my ear...
918
01:07:38,505 --> 01:07:41,622
...for one of those solid-oak numbers
with curly tops.
919
01:07:43,985 --> 01:07:45,623
Victory.
920
01:07:45,785 --> 01:07:47,935
Did you kill that critter
all by yourself?
921
01:07:48,105 --> 01:07:49,538
Very funny.
922
01:07:49,705 --> 01:07:54,256
Don't you have some urgent business
thousands of miles away from here?
923
01:07:54,425 --> 01:07:58,259
Vialula, your daughter was dumping
grasshoppers in the punch bowl again.
924
01:07:58,425 --> 01:07:59,494
Only two.
925
01:07:59,665 --> 01:08:05,217
- Shake a leg with the judicial branch?
- Why, I'd love to. Thank you.
926
01:08:05,785 --> 01:08:07,184
Would you hold this possum?
927
01:08:07,345 --> 01:08:10,735
I think it's time I reacquainted
your mama with some real dancing.
928
01:08:10,905 --> 01:08:13,465
No offense, Hollywood.
929
01:08:18,985 --> 01:08:21,453
When you gonna bring
your pig back around?
930
01:08:30,585 --> 01:08:33,383
Hey there, Ben Stone.
Hey, how are you?
931
01:08:33,545 --> 01:08:35,661
Been looking for you.
What a great day.
932
01:08:35,825 --> 01:08:38,293
Boy, this is it.
933
01:08:38,465 --> 01:08:41,741
The pinnacle of existence,
the grandeur of Grady.
934
01:08:41,905 --> 01:08:44,055
Sap of life.
Couldn't be happier if I was twins.
935
01:08:44,225 --> 01:08:48,013
- You put on a hell of a festival, mayor.
- Ain't you nice to say so.
936
01:08:48,185 --> 01:08:51,973
Ben, let's talk turkey.
Or squash, as it were.
937
01:08:52,145 --> 01:08:54,420
- About what?
- Home.
938
01:08:54,585 --> 01:08:55,859
Heart.
939
01:08:56,025 --> 01:08:57,504
Happiness.
940
01:08:57,665 --> 01:08:59,337
You belong here, Ben Stone.
941
01:08:59,505 --> 01:09:03,293
Breaks my heart to think of you
out there in the land of lunatics.
942
01:09:03,465 --> 01:09:06,696
I'm danged if I'll let you go
without holding up a mirror to your face.
943
01:09:06,865 --> 01:09:10,744
Like that smile of contentment there.
So you see that? See there?
944
01:09:10,905 --> 01:09:14,944
That's a face that's liked and loved.
A face with friends and a future.
945
01:09:15,105 --> 01:09:17,494
Can't find some other way
to force me to stay?
946
01:09:17,665 --> 01:09:18,984
Ben.
947
01:09:19,145 --> 01:09:20,942
I am everything but devious.
948
01:09:21,105 --> 01:09:24,495
Mayor, could you come check
these ribs and tell me if they're done?
949
01:09:24,665 --> 01:09:26,337
I sure can.
950
01:09:26,505 --> 01:09:28,621
Rigors of the job, huh?
951
01:09:29,025 --> 01:09:33,223
Well, you got your fire way too high,
I'll tell you that.
952
01:09:33,705 --> 01:09:35,024
Well, don't do that.
953
01:09:37,025 --> 01:09:39,983
Come on, come on.
954
01:09:42,425 --> 01:09:44,655
- Hi, doc.
- Gentlemen.
955
01:10:19,945 --> 01:10:22,140
Careful with those things.
956
01:10:38,345 --> 01:10:42,099
I know I shouldn't be doing this because
you're leaving, but I don't care.
957
01:10:42,265 --> 01:10:44,096
I can't help it.
958
01:10:44,265 --> 01:10:45,857
So get in.
959
01:10:46,145 --> 01:10:50,024
- Do you mean what I think you mean?
- Just get in if you're gonna get in.
960
01:10:56,265 --> 01:10:58,984
Lou, I gotta be honest with you.
961
01:10:59,145 --> 01:11:01,898
Rowing a boat is not
what I had in mind.
962
01:11:06,105 --> 01:11:07,743
Not bad, huh?
963
01:11:11,025 --> 01:11:12,299
Incredible.
964
01:11:14,065 --> 01:11:16,340
- What was that?
- Freshwater mullet.
965
01:11:16,505 --> 01:11:20,578
They see the sparks from the skyrockets,
think it's food and jump for it.
966
01:11:20,745 --> 01:11:22,701
That's scary.
967
01:11:22,945 --> 01:11:24,901
Maybe I could...
968
01:11:25,385 --> 01:11:27,501
...sit next to you,
and you could protect me.
969
01:11:27,665 --> 01:11:29,701
No. You'll throw us off balance.
970
01:11:29,865 --> 01:11:32,015
I want you off balance.
971
01:11:32,185 --> 01:11:34,096
- He's in the boat!
- Hold still.
972
01:11:34,265 --> 01:11:36,176
- Get him.
- Watch it, you'll tip us over.
973
01:11:36,345 --> 01:11:38,415
- Get him, Lou.
- Okay, I got it.
974
01:11:43,025 --> 01:11:45,334
You did that on purpose.
975
01:11:46,265 --> 01:11:48,699
All right, I admit it.
976
01:11:49,145 --> 01:11:52,820
I worked my way through college
by training bass.
977
01:12:15,465 --> 01:12:16,784
Lou?
978
01:12:17,305 --> 01:12:19,136
It's okay.
979
01:12:19,945 --> 01:12:22,300
Listen, if you don't wanna...
980
01:12:22,825 --> 01:12:26,704
Ben, I don't think I've ever wanted
anything more in my entire life, ever.
981
01:12:27,385 --> 01:12:30,661
I'm just not used to being
a one-night stand.
982
01:12:33,265 --> 01:12:36,223
You don't have to be.
I mean, I could...
983
01:12:36,425 --> 01:12:39,940
No. I wouldn't know what to do
with myself in Los Angeles.
984
01:12:40,105 --> 01:12:42,539
There are too many choices.
985
01:12:44,025 --> 01:12:46,585
Let's not think about it, okay?
986
01:12:51,985 --> 01:12:54,055
I can't do this.
987
01:13:05,745 --> 01:13:10,182
Mind walking from here? I don't wanna
give the gossips any more fat to chew.
988
01:13:12,625 --> 01:13:14,297
Right.
989
01:13:15,105 --> 01:13:18,017
Don't worry, Benjamin,
it'll all work out.
990
01:13:36,825 --> 01:13:38,736
Hey, Jasmine.
991
01:13:59,065 --> 01:14:00,578
Hey, Hank.
992
01:14:01,465 --> 01:14:05,014
You've made me real mad.
993
01:14:06,585 --> 01:14:08,064
About what?
994
01:14:08,225 --> 01:14:10,136
What do you think?
995
01:14:10,305 --> 01:14:13,377
I know you were out on that lake
with her.
996
01:14:13,625 --> 01:14:16,856
It makes me sick
to think of you and her.
997
01:14:17,025 --> 01:14:19,334
- Nothing happened.
- Oh, right.
998
01:14:19,505 --> 01:14:21,575
Nothing happened!
999
01:14:21,745 --> 01:14:23,815
Come on, tough guy!
Come on, country boy!
1000
01:14:23,985 --> 01:14:26,624
You wanna take a shot at me, huh?
Come on!
1001
01:14:26,785 --> 01:14:29,458
- What are you doing?
- Come on, country boy, get up! Let's go.
1002
01:14:30,025 --> 01:14:31,583
Are you paranoid or something?
1003
01:14:34,145 --> 01:14:35,703
No.
1004
01:14:36,465 --> 01:14:38,615
But I'm a little confused.
1005
01:14:46,425 --> 01:14:48,780
I suppose you and her
will be getting married now.
1006
01:14:55,105 --> 01:14:57,096
It's the Southern way.
1007
01:14:57,265 --> 01:14:59,859
Man and woman as one.
1008
01:15:00,185 --> 01:15:05,418
Make sacrifices to build equity
in a future that has security.
1009
01:15:05,865 --> 01:15:08,333
Why do you sound like
a Mutual of Omaha ad?
1010
01:15:08,625 --> 01:15:10,581
Fine, joke it up.
1011
01:15:10,745 --> 01:15:12,861
At least I was prepared to marry her.
1012
01:15:15,425 --> 01:15:16,904
She's not in love with you.
1013
01:15:18,025 --> 01:15:20,619
Okay. That's the only
roadblock, though.
1014
01:15:24,145 --> 01:15:26,101
Let me ask you something.
1015
01:15:27,025 --> 01:15:30,734
Don't you think a guy is entitled
to choose his own destiny?
1016
01:15:31,305 --> 01:15:33,899
Whether it's in a small town
or even in California.
1017
01:15:34,065 --> 01:15:36,420
It's just that he shouldn't have it
handed to him.
1018
01:15:36,585 --> 01:15:39,816
Not like it's a... You know, like...
1019
01:15:39,985 --> 01:15:41,577
A hat?
1020
01:15:43,585 --> 01:15:45,815
Right. Okay, good. Like a hat.
1021
01:15:45,985 --> 01:15:49,136
Your father and your grandfather wore it,
now you're stuck with it.
1022
01:15:49,305 --> 01:15:51,899
Only the damn thing is too small.
It just doesn't fit.
1023
01:15:52,065 --> 01:15:57,093
- I hate a tight hat.
- There's a lot of hats out there.
1024
01:15:57,345 --> 01:16:00,894
And even if this one fits...
1025
01:16:01,065 --> 01:16:02,783
...and I'm not saying that it does...
1026
01:16:02,945 --> 01:16:06,858
...how do you know it's the right one
when you haven't tried any others on?
1027
01:16:07,025 --> 01:16:09,141
I sure haven't.
1028
01:16:10,665 --> 01:16:12,974
I mean, that's what
I'm talking about.
1029
01:16:14,025 --> 01:16:16,664
I just don't wanna screw up her life.
1030
01:16:17,825 --> 01:16:19,861
You know, Hollywood...
1031
01:16:20,025 --> 01:16:24,177
...sometimes a man's gotta do
what a man's gotta do.
1032
01:16:24,345 --> 01:16:29,055
And maybe...
Maybe it's in California.
1033
01:16:31,025 --> 01:16:33,334
Yeah, maybe you're right.
1034
01:16:34,505 --> 01:16:38,418
- Well, I'm glad we got that cleaned up.
- Me too, Hank.
1035
01:16:38,585 --> 01:16:40,974
Don't that take the rag off the bush?
1036
01:16:41,145 --> 01:16:43,420
Don't forget what I told you.
1037
01:17:44,345 --> 01:17:45,619
Hey, please!
1038
01:17:49,265 --> 01:17:51,176
Shit.
1039
01:17:59,905 --> 01:18:01,782
Shit.
1040
01:18:01,985 --> 01:18:03,623
Shit.
1041
01:18:15,185 --> 01:18:16,903
Dr. Stone.
1042
01:18:17,065 --> 01:18:19,101
Mary. Decided to drop by,
see how you were doing.
1043
01:18:19,265 --> 01:18:23,258
No damn good. Water's broke. I hurt.
This ain't like none of the others.
1044
01:18:23,425 --> 01:18:25,302
They never are.
1045
01:18:26,265 --> 01:18:29,257
Did Doc Hogue tell you this baby
might come out the wrong way?
1046
01:18:30,425 --> 01:18:33,019
He's coming.
He don't care which way.
1047
01:18:34,625 --> 01:18:37,822
- Fiddlesticks. Don't push, Mary.
- I can run, get an ambulance.
1048
01:18:37,985 --> 01:18:41,500
There's no time for that. Go into my
duffle bag, there's four clean shirts.
1049
01:18:41,665 --> 01:18:44,418
Get them and rip them
into even pieces.
1050
01:18:45,225 --> 01:18:48,934
Listen, Mary, don't push. I know
you want to, but don't push.
1051
01:18:49,105 --> 01:18:51,539
I'll try to turn him around
so he comes the right way.
1052
01:18:52,145 --> 01:18:54,022
Is it these ones?
1053
01:18:54,185 --> 01:18:58,463
- "Aramana"?
- Armani. Those are the ones.
1054
01:19:02,705 --> 01:19:06,459
Okay, now. Now! That's it.
Great. Great. Great.
1055
01:19:06,625 --> 01:19:08,661
Okay, okay, okay.
1056
01:19:09,345 --> 01:19:12,815
Now go! Push. Push, Mary.
You're doing great.
1057
01:19:12,985 --> 01:19:15,021
You're doing great.
1058
01:19:15,505 --> 01:19:17,496
I got a leg. I got a leg.
1059
01:19:25,305 --> 01:19:28,581
All right. Go ahead, go ahead.
1060
01:19:29,145 --> 01:19:30,942
Someone's coming.
1061
01:19:31,105 --> 01:19:34,017
Doc, someone's coming.
1062
01:19:34,785 --> 01:19:36,662
Okay, all right.
1063
01:19:41,265 --> 01:19:43,142
Push! Push, Mary!
1064
01:19:52,625 --> 01:19:53,899
Doc, your car.
1065
01:19:56,065 --> 01:19:57,578
What do I do?
1066
01:19:58,905 --> 01:20:00,577
Okay.
1067
01:20:01,745 --> 01:20:03,940
- Good girl!
- What do I do?
1068
01:20:04,105 --> 01:20:05,379
Push, Mary.
1069
01:20:09,305 --> 01:20:10,897
It's a girl!
1070
01:20:44,705 --> 01:20:47,173
I think I can fix that.
1071
01:21:01,825 --> 01:21:04,817
- You rang?
- First breech you ever delivered?
1072
01:21:06,305 --> 01:21:08,500
First baby I ever delivered.
1073
01:21:08,665 --> 01:21:09,939
By myself.
1074
01:21:10,825 --> 01:21:13,293
- Whiskey?
- No, thanks.
1075
01:21:13,465 --> 01:21:15,899
In fact, I wouldn't recommend that
for you, either.
1076
01:21:16,065 --> 01:21:18,625
You're not my doctor,
and you're not my wife...
1077
01:21:18,785 --> 01:21:21,743
...so I guess you don't have
very much to say about it.
1078
01:21:24,065 --> 01:21:26,863
You're not fixing to stay, huh, Stone?
1079
01:21:27,025 --> 01:21:29,255
Changed your mind, huh?
1080
01:21:29,425 --> 01:21:31,985
Now that your car's
all busted to bubkes...
1081
01:21:32,145 --> 01:21:35,774
...and you're feeling pretty good
about yourself in general, huh?
1082
01:21:37,545 --> 01:21:38,819
Come here.
1083
01:21:46,745 --> 01:21:49,020
I had them up once.
1084
01:21:49,185 --> 01:21:52,973
Over 700 babies I delivered
in this town over the years.
1085
01:21:53,145 --> 01:21:54,419
Nurse Packer.
1086
01:21:54,585 --> 01:21:59,454
She popped right out complete with
teeth and hair and bit me. An omen.
1087
01:21:59,625 --> 01:22:00,899
Nicholson.
1088
01:22:01,065 --> 01:22:02,703
Hank.
1089
01:22:03,665 --> 01:22:08,420
I gave them birth, saw them through
every sneeze and sniffle...
1090
01:22:08,585 --> 01:22:11,782
...and sometimes even walked them
to the gravesite.
1091
01:22:12,505 --> 01:22:16,293
They're pretty well
my portfolio, Stone.
1092
01:22:16,465 --> 01:22:20,663
That and an old car, an old house.
1093
01:22:21,025 --> 01:22:24,142
I wouldn't trade any of them for gold.
1094
01:22:24,945 --> 01:22:27,061
Well, maybe gold.
1095
01:22:27,705 --> 01:22:29,935
Or cash money.
1096
01:22:33,345 --> 01:22:35,142
- Hey.
- Doc.
1097
01:22:36,105 --> 01:22:37,902
Hey, Mary, how's our girl?
1098
01:22:38,065 --> 01:22:41,740
We decided she's gonna be
"Benjamina," after you.
1099
01:22:42,585 --> 01:22:44,382
What?
1100
01:22:45,145 --> 01:22:46,897
Thank you.
1101
01:22:47,345 --> 01:22:50,417
There's an obstetrician coming up
from Athens General later...
1102
01:22:50,585 --> 01:22:52,940
...just to make sure everything's okay.
1103
01:22:54,145 --> 01:22:55,737
Benjamina.
1104
01:22:57,545 --> 01:23:01,823
Yo, doc, I wanted to just thank you
for, you know, everything...
1105
01:23:01,985 --> 01:23:04,863
...so I made you this in appreciation.
1106
01:23:05,545 --> 01:23:10,665
I know it ain't very much, so if there's
ever anything at all I can do for you...
1107
01:23:10,825 --> 01:23:15,137
Just let me know what happens
with Ellen, Jimmy Joe and the Pakistani.
1108
01:23:34,385 --> 01:23:36,501
I heard what happened last night.
You did great.
1109
01:23:37,265 --> 01:23:41,383
- I didn't know what I was doing.
- Well, sometimes that's the best way.
1110
01:23:42,785 --> 01:23:44,662
There's something
that I wanted to say.
1111
01:23:44,825 --> 01:23:48,659
Something I wanted to say
to you first. Is that okay?
1112
01:23:49,225 --> 01:23:53,503
So I've been doing a lot of thinking
about last night.
1113
01:23:53,665 --> 01:23:56,463
Last night was really difficult.
1114
01:23:56,745 --> 01:24:01,455
Everything's all turned around now.
I've been thinking about you and me...
1115
01:24:01,625 --> 01:24:05,015
...and big cities, small towns...
- Well, I'm gonna marry Hank.
1116
01:24:07,065 --> 01:24:09,056
I've decided.
1117
01:24:12,985 --> 01:24:14,941
It's a plane ticket to Los Angeles.
1118
01:24:15,545 --> 01:24:17,342
The whole town chipped in.
1119
01:24:17,505 --> 01:24:22,260
We've kept you here this long, and if you
wait for Melvin to fix your car again...
1120
01:24:24,305 --> 01:24:26,500
You got Los Angeles waiting for you.
1121
01:24:26,665 --> 01:24:29,577
I've got Emma. It's not fair to you.
1122
01:24:29,745 --> 01:24:32,578
Hank's steady, and he's here.
1123
01:24:32,745 --> 01:24:34,383
You...
1124
01:24:35,145 --> 01:24:39,058
You're like a big, bright shooting star and
you're right, Ben, you'd burn out here.
1125
01:24:44,385 --> 01:24:45,977
Wait a minute.
1126
01:24:51,345 --> 01:24:54,462
Well, Ben Stone, you have five minutes
to say goodbye to Shangri-la.
1127
01:24:54,625 --> 01:24:58,015
Cotton will give you a police escort
to the airport.
1128
01:25:05,145 --> 01:25:07,420
We made you a sack lunch.
1129
01:25:07,585 --> 01:25:09,894
Airplane food can cause gas.
1130
01:25:15,745 --> 01:25:17,895
I guess I'll watch after your pig.
1131
01:25:18,065 --> 01:25:21,296
Just hope she takes to the farm
after living in town like this.
1132
01:25:21,945 --> 01:25:23,822
Appreciate it.
1133
01:25:24,265 --> 01:25:26,699
A lot of folks around here
gonna miss you.
1134
01:25:27,505 --> 01:25:30,895
I don't mean me.
But a lot of folks.
1135
01:26:01,545 --> 01:26:02,978
Adieu.
1136
01:26:11,385 --> 01:26:14,024
Back to the interstate,
Ben Stone, huh?
1137
01:26:14,185 --> 01:26:15,584
Back to the interstate.
1138
01:27:43,505 --> 01:27:45,382
You okay?
1139
01:27:46,225 --> 01:27:48,659
Oh, yes, I am fine.
1140
01:27:53,385 --> 01:27:56,980
Good morning, Halberstrom Clinic.
Could you hold, please.
1141
01:27:57,145 --> 01:28:01,058
Good morning, Halberstrom Clinic.
Good morning, Halberstrom Clinic.
1142
01:28:02,385 --> 01:28:04,501
Oh, hold. Yes, doctor.
1143
01:28:05,305 --> 01:28:07,421
- Mr. Stone?
- Dr. Stone.
1144
01:28:09,545 --> 01:28:11,501
Dr. Halberstrom can see you now.
1145
01:28:25,625 --> 01:28:28,776
Do you have any idea how many
applications I went through this year?
1146
01:28:28,945 --> 01:28:31,664
Yes, sir. That's why I knew
this interview was important.
1147
01:28:31,825 --> 01:28:34,544
I would've been here earlier
if I could've been. I think...
1148
01:28:34,705 --> 01:28:39,096
I know you're a great surgeon, Stone.
That whole pile is full of great surgeons.
1149
01:28:39,465 --> 01:28:41,296
Did you expect special consideration...
1150
01:28:41,465 --> 01:28:43,376
...because we're from
the same hometown?
1151
01:28:43,545 --> 01:28:45,615
- Because I knew your father?
- No, sir.
1152
01:28:45,785 --> 01:28:48,345
Good. Because you didn't get shit.
1153
01:28:48,505 --> 01:28:52,737
You wouldn't be here at all if it weren't
for a call I got from Dr. Aurelius Hogue.
1154
01:28:54,985 --> 01:28:56,418
Dr. Hogue called you?
1155
01:28:56,585 --> 01:28:59,497
I saw two doctors last week
with more experience than you...
1156
01:28:59,665 --> 01:29:02,259
...and better board certification scores.
1157
01:29:03,465 --> 01:29:06,377
Dr. Hogue's a piece of work, isn't he?
1158
01:29:06,705 --> 01:29:08,024
What did he say?
1159
01:29:08,185 --> 01:29:11,814
That you were doing volunteer
family practice down South somewhere.
1160
01:29:13,825 --> 01:29:17,579
Yes. Yeah. Yes, yes, that's right.
1161
01:29:18,305 --> 01:29:21,820
Went there to get that small-town chip
off your shoulder, didn't you?
1162
01:29:21,985 --> 01:29:25,944
- Yeah.
- Well, you're braver than I was, Stone.
1163
01:29:26,105 --> 01:29:29,142
Any case,
Hogue said you were, quote:
1164
01:29:29,305 --> 01:29:33,093
"One hellaciously fine physician. "
1165
01:29:33,265 --> 01:29:36,940
That I would be " a bovine,
clodpated, citified moron"...
1166
01:29:37,105 --> 01:29:39,460
...if I didn't hire you on the spot.
1167
01:29:39,625 --> 01:29:41,502
I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget.
1168
01:29:41,665 --> 01:29:44,304
So I guess you're in, Stone. Congrats.
1169
01:29:44,465 --> 01:29:46,376
What time do I tee off?
1170
01:29:46,545 --> 01:29:48,695
You do play golf, don't you?
1171
01:29:48,865 --> 01:29:52,062
Great. Don't worry about that.
It's not anywhere you can see it.
1172
01:29:52,225 --> 01:29:55,979
The secret to this business is to get
a good pace going for yourself.
1173
01:29:56,145 --> 01:29:59,820
Nobody likes to admit it,
but medicine's a volume business.
1174
01:29:59,985 --> 01:30:02,579
Ninety-nine percent of what we do
is boilerplate surgery.
1175
01:30:02,745 --> 01:30:05,464
It means we can afford
the one percent that's meaningful.
1176
01:30:05,625 --> 01:30:09,220
Disfigurements, birth defects,
hare lips.
1177
01:30:10,185 --> 01:30:13,336
Cleft palates.
You live for those moments.
1178
01:30:13,505 --> 01:30:15,541
The bigger you get, the bigger the nut.
1179
01:30:15,705 --> 01:30:19,380
We're a service industry. Comes with
the territory. Fixed costs, specialization.
1180
01:30:19,545 --> 01:30:22,184
People adjust to it or fail.
Look at cable TV.
1181
01:30:22,345 --> 01:30:24,461
You're gonna see
some changes, Stone.
1182
01:30:25,105 --> 01:30:29,383
Stone, see if patient number 434
is in preop yet.
1183
01:30:29,545 --> 01:30:32,776
We can squeeze one more in
before lunch, don't you think?
1184
01:31:10,985 --> 01:31:14,022
Hi. This is
the National Weather Service forecast...
1185
01:31:14,185 --> 01:31:16,460
...for the greater Grady area tomorrow.
1186
01:31:16,625 --> 01:31:19,503
There'll be plenty of sunshine
and blue skies.
1187
01:31:19,665 --> 01:31:22,304
The old temperature
should be in the 90s again...
1188
01:31:22,465 --> 01:31:26,583
...but a cool afternoon breeze will
make it all worthwhile come evening.
1189
01:31:26,745 --> 01:31:30,499
Y'all look out for the lightning bugs
after sunset.
1190
01:31:49,425 --> 01:31:51,734
- Actress alert.
- Excuse me.
1191
01:31:51,905 --> 01:31:53,736
Some girl called for you.
1192
01:31:53,905 --> 01:31:58,342
Said you'd know who it was,
said she'd meet you at this bar.
1193
01:31:59,185 --> 01:32:03,303
Like, as if you're gonna rush
right over there. Right.
1194
01:32:03,465 --> 01:32:08,664
Totally unbelievable Southern accent.
An actress, I'll bet.
1195
01:32:38,225 --> 01:32:41,854
- Hi. Can I help you?
- I'm supposed to meet someone, a girl.
1196
01:32:42,505 --> 01:32:44,382
Ben.
1197
01:32:51,465 --> 01:32:53,535
Nancy Lee?
1198
01:32:57,865 --> 01:33:03,462
Well, I had to give it a shot, you know.
I just thought, just in case.
1199
01:33:03,945 --> 01:33:05,537
Guess not.
1200
01:33:07,025 --> 01:33:08,936
You...
1201
01:33:09,665 --> 01:33:12,259
You drove all this way
just to bring me my car?
1202
01:33:12,425 --> 01:33:13,699
Sort of.
1203
01:33:13,865 --> 01:33:16,937
Well, I mean, it gave me an excuse
to get the hell out of Grady.
1204
01:33:17,105 --> 01:33:19,539
Pardon my French.
Things were bad before...
1205
01:33:19,705 --> 01:33:22,902
...but since you left,
they got positively stagnant.
1206
01:33:26,185 --> 01:33:29,302
- How's Hogue?
- Well, he's the same.
1207
01:33:31,865 --> 01:33:34,663
- Melvin?
- Same.
1208
01:33:35,425 --> 01:33:36,699
How's your dad?
1209
01:33:38,105 --> 01:33:40,539
Why don't you ask me about Vialula?
1210
01:33:41,505 --> 01:33:45,498
What's there to ask, really?
I guess she and Hank are...
1211
01:33:45,665 --> 01:33:47,257
You're in my chair.
1212
01:33:49,105 --> 01:33:51,175
Slide a bit, Nancy Lee.
1213
01:33:53,825 --> 01:33:58,421
There's a man in the toilet selling
aftershave. Now, what's that all about?
1214
01:33:59,545 --> 01:34:00,978
Hank.
1215
01:34:02,745 --> 01:34:04,463
What are you doing here?
1216
01:34:04,625 --> 01:34:07,742
Took my own advice, doc.
Knowing when to stay, when to get out.
1217
01:34:08,665 --> 01:34:11,418
I thought you and Lou
were gonna get...
1218
01:34:11,585 --> 01:34:15,658
Lou was never gonna marry me.
So I broke it off, clean.
1219
01:34:17,105 --> 01:34:19,096
You dumped her?
1220
01:34:19,265 --> 01:34:21,381
A man's gotta do
what a man's gotta do...
1221
01:34:21,545 --> 01:34:25,458
...even if it's in California.
Sense of higher purpose, you know?
1222
01:34:27,505 --> 01:34:29,336
Is that a star?
1223
01:34:29,505 --> 01:34:32,099
No, that's Ted Danson.
1224
01:34:43,745 --> 01:34:46,213
I'm going for breakfast.
You want anything?
1225
01:34:46,385 --> 01:34:48,615
How about Bob Barker?
1226
01:34:48,785 --> 01:34:51,094
I'll see what I can do.
1227
01:34:59,705 --> 01:35:01,661
Howdy.
1228
01:35:05,945 --> 01:35:07,981
You steal that pig?
1229
01:35:08,865 --> 01:35:11,982
I heard she was wasting away
in this one-pig town, so...
1230
01:35:12,145 --> 01:35:14,340
And you thought you'd come back
and rescue her.
1231
01:35:14,825 --> 01:35:17,385
Yeah. Something like that.
1232
01:35:18,105 --> 01:35:20,414
What makes you think
she'll take you back?
1233
01:35:22,465 --> 01:35:23,978
Because I love her.
1234
01:35:27,625 --> 01:35:30,093
Go back to Los Angeles.
1235
01:35:30,985 --> 01:35:33,579
I don't want Los Angeles.
1236
01:35:33,865 --> 01:35:35,696
I want you.
1237
01:35:45,025 --> 01:35:47,414
You got great tonsils.
1238
01:35:50,785 --> 01:35:52,582
That ain't all.
1239
01:35:54,225 --> 01:35:57,297
I just thought of something.
I can collect that $ 10 from Nicholson.
1240
01:35:57,465 --> 01:35:59,262
- You lost that bet.
- I did not.
1241
01:35:59,425 --> 01:36:00,858
- Who says?
- Me.
1242
01:36:01,025 --> 01:36:05,701
- You have no say. You are the bet.
- The bet was for one week. You lost.
1243
01:36:05,865 --> 01:36:07,298
It's your word against mine.
1244
01:36:07,465 --> 01:36:10,696
You would sully my reputation
for 10 measly dollars?
1245
01:36:10,865 --> 01:36:14,494
Absolutely. I don't even know
what "sully" means.
1246
01:39:03,505 --> 01:39:05,496
