You don't understand.
I got to have that letter.

I'll write it.
I've been busy.

I asked for it two weeks ago!

My college
application's due in six days.

I'll do it, o.K.?

All right.

I won't say another word.

Thank you.

The sooner I get it
in, the better.

Not another word.

Four paragraphs would be nice,

single-spaced.

Not a word.

I still don't know
why you're going to N.Y.U.

It's got a great film school.

But New York's tough.

There's
a three-bullet-hole minimum

to get into
emergency rooms, plus it's expensive.

That's the kicker.

I got free
room and board at grandma delpino's.

A teenager's dream come true.

Hey, she's cool.

She dated gangsters, you know.

How delightful.
A real role model.

Yeah. So i
need three letters of recommendation.

I already
got one from my French teacher,

madame feldblum.

I'll have yours soon.

The next one has
to be a biggie...

I'm in an emergency room,
for god's sake.

Somebody to put me over the top.

What's this?

Herniated disc.

Bad slide into third base.

Let's get him into number two.

Bye-bye.

Do you know who that is?

That's Bradford eisner.

Who's Bradford eisner?

Who's Bradford eisner?

Only the head of programming

for abc television, that's all.

Doog.

No. He's a patient.

Hey,

you're right.

I got crazy for a minute.

Your initial x-rays
were inconclusive.

For now, we're talking
an mri of the spine,

trial bed rest in traction,

and some pain medication.

No medication.

I'm doing my
midseason line-up.

I've got to stay alert.

I owe it to my viewers.

O.K. We'll take it
one step at a time. Deal?

Deal.

I'll be back to
check on you later.

Mr. eisner.

You probably get
this all the time,

but you know what I think

would make a fabulous show?

I haven't a clue.

The life of a nurse.

A real nurse, though,

one who cares.

A no-nonsense nurse

with dedication that
goes beyond her job.

Exactly.

A woman whose many
scrapes with romance

have always ended in tragedy,

but she manages to...

It... it sounds
autobiographical,

but it's
only loosely autobiographical.

If you sat down with
me for 20 minutes,

I could tell you stories.

We'll set up something

between your people
and my people.

I haven't got any people.

Get some.

O.K.

Here we go, Mr., uh...

Eisner.

Ah, some delicious chicken

with some interesting
sauce of some kind,

um, country-fresh
succotash,

and some yummy blue dessert.

Uh, pudding...

Maybe.

Very nutritious.

Fish is brain food.

Chicken is back food.

Let me get you

in the proper eating angle here.

Ahem.

O.K. Scream out
if you feel any pain.

That way I'll know when to stop.

Oh! Ah!

That should do it.

You need to itch anyplace
that you can't reach?

You can't reach?

We're full-service here.

I trimmed my nails
just this morning.

Very nice.
I'll use my own.

Sorry, Mr. eisner.

There was a mix-up
with your...

You got your tray.
How'd that happen?

This overly zealous orderly here

brought it to me.

Just checking for germs.

Ah. Yep.

All clear.

Ah, yes.

Orderly delpino.

Definitely one of our best.

Could I speak to you outside,

orderly delpino?

Certainly, orderly Alexander.

Excuse us.

You enjoy your lunch,
Mr. eisner.

Let go of me.

What are you doing?

I'm not doing anything.

Why were you in there?

That's Bradford eisner.

He's a big television person.

He could write
my recommendation for film school.

Not on my time.

Come on! Cut me a break.

Let me deliver his food
or something.

Just for a little while.
This could be the shot I need.

No dice.

You know, Raymond...

Ever since you held me hostage

in that convenience store,

I wake up screaming every night.

My shrink wants to see me
three times a week.

You don't see a shrink.

See how crazy I am?
I thought I did.

What?

I...

What's the matter?

Where you held
that gun to my head,

the muzzle mark still hurts.

Right here. Remember?

You sleaze.

All I'm asking is
you look the other way.

Hot off the presses.

Your ticket to Gotham, mi amigo.

I knew you'd come through.

O.K. Here goes.

"To whom
it may concern."

Nice touch.

Don't want
to offend any women readers.

"I've known Vincent delpino

for 12 years."

Good. Start slow
and build.

"In that time,

"I've know him to be
a conscientious friend

and hard-working
individual."

We're still building.

"He has unproven potential,

but an apparent
willingness to learn."

Are we dipping a little here?

"I'm sure he will be
a refreshing addition

"to the student body
of your fine institution.

Despite his academic
shortcomings..."

Whoa!

"He's obedient, loyal,
and trustworthy."

Just say I don't bite
or lick myself in public.

Ahem. "Sincerely,

Douglas howser, m.D."

What, that's it?

That's the best you could do?

That's good.

I chose those words carefully.

"Despite his academic
shortcomings"?

What, are you nuts?

I was covering the fact

your grade point average

equals the rainfall
in death valley.

Should I have lied?

Lie?

You have to lie

to say something good about me?

Lie is the wrong word.

Exaggerate would be better.

Forget it.
I can't use this.

Maybe to get
into preschool or a dance class,

but not N.Y.U.

O.K., fine.

Have somebody else write it.

Fine.

Fine.

Ohh.

Hello.

Oh, come on.
This is going to kill us.

Why does he have
to pick Tuesday night

to address the nation?

Tuesday's our biggest night.

All right.
I'll think of something.

I can't put funny
after the president.

Damn.

Hey, take it easy.

That vein's working overtime

in your neck there.

Save yourself for
this scintillating tapioca.

I can't eat.

I'm not an eavesdropping guy,

but I couldn't help overhearing,

and I got an idea.

Just hear me out.

Now, the president
is dull, right?

So why is it that
after he speaks,

you put on five dull guys

discussing
what he put us to sleep with?

Political analysis.

Shouldn't you be pushing a cart?

Now...

The country is not on a roll.

Economy is down.

Foreign policy's in trouble.

We need something uplifting

to remind us
what a great country this is.

Rocky balboa,

the greatest success story

in American history.

Run rockyafter
the president's speech.

Thanks, kid,

but I've got people
studying demographics

to come up with these things.

Well, I know I'd be watching

the Italian stallion.

Nice try, though.

Yeah, Jack.

Do we still have
the rights to rocky?

Something bothering you?

No, nothing.

You try and do a favor
for somebody,

and look what you get.

I spend precious time

agonizing over
a letter of recommendation

so Vinnie can enter N.Y.U.,

and it's not good enough.
What an ingrate.

Vinnie's going to college?

He couldn't get into
the San Diego zoo.

It'll be good to get rid of him.

I need more mature friends.

Jack, meadway
can't make the poker game tonight.

We'll be short
unless you find somebody.

I play poker.

You want
new friends, not new weenies.

Doog, I don't think
this is for you.

Jack's right.

See? There you go.

I'm o.K. To remove
a gallbladder with,

but nobody wants to
hang around with me

on the outside.

I guess you're right.
Who needs it?

I'll just be by myself.

I better get used to it anyway.

Four years coming up with
no friends.

Just me and my lava lamp
and my computer.

Maybe I'll make a pen pal.

There are a lot
of lonely women in prison.

O.K., 7:00.

Bring cash.

Yeah! Three kings.

Flush.

What?

Oh, damn!

This hurts.
I'm out of here.

You shouldn't have bet into me.

24 cards were showing
with 7 spades out.

Jack had folded the fourth king.

Your other card was the last 10,

so the odds favored me.

Right. I should
have known.

Jack...

Let's take a break.

Good idea.
I want to rummage through the kitchen

for a blunt object
to kill howser with.

Let me see.

Whoa! Wanda!

Full house. Yeah!

Yeah!

Whoo, yeah!

Give me five!
Give me five!

Guys, look what I scored.

The best there is.

Cubans.

Hey, Cubans.
Jack, you shouldn't have.

I'm glad he did.
Will you marry me?

Yeah, if you shave
your mustache.

Come on.
What about me?

- Go on.
- Come on, Jack.

Mmm. You know,
a good cigar

is a real man's pleasure.

Yeah.
Right.

Give him a light.

Nice bite.

He'll need a doctor now.

What was that?

Eight-year-old
Kentucky bourbon.

Goes down smooth, huh?

Oh, god, howser!

Oh...

Oh, honey, why did you
do this to yourself?

I was trying to be
one of the guys,

make some new friends.

I won't be asked back.

You took their money
and puked on their table.

I doubt the invitation's
been sent.

In six months,
my social world will be a flat line.

Everyone's going to college.

Wanda's talking
about this art school in Chicago.

Vinnie's
going to N.Y.U.

But they'll still
be your friends.

Yeah, except for Vinnie.

We're not speaking.

He says my letter

couldn't get him
into a dance school.

Well, maybe your heart
wasn't in it 100%, hmm?

Remember how it was

before you went to Princeton?

A next-door neighbor,
an Italian kid, I think,

was pretty broken up

because his best friend
was leaving.

You came back.
So will he.

Your mother's right.

Vinnie has to have experiences

just like you did.

What are you doing, doogie?

I'm going to write
a new letter for Vinnie.

Right after I do this.
Excuse me.

So the whole story
will revolve around a kid

who was a gang banger
until he was 18.

But suddenly, through a dramatic
confrontation with the cops,

his whole life turns around.

And he decides to become
a hospital orderly.

A no-nonsense orderly with
a dedication and compassion

that go beyond his job.

Absolutely.

Now, here's the grabber.

Through a freak
laboratory accident,

he swallows
an experimental drug.

It gives him supernatural power.

He returns to the projects
by night

as captain crime buster,

and he cleans up his
entire neighborhood.

So what do you think?

I think I can make it back
to the bed myself.

Sure thing. You wanna take
a meeting, give me a ring.

Mr. e, you did it.

You put rocky on last night.

Isn't that a coincidence?

Our programming department

came up with
the same idea you had.

We won the nationals.

Fantastic.
What does that mean?

Rocky beat everybody.

That really was
a good idea, huh?

Yeah.

I like you, delpino.
You're brash.

I could use
your smarts and energy.

Start you off small,
see how you handle it.

Whoa.
You're offering me a job?

Yeah.

I don't know.

Where's that nurse?
This heat pack needs changing.

Look, um, I got to run,

but I'll give it
some thought. I will.

You do that.

Housekeeping needed in room 662.

Housekeeping
to room 662, please.

Vinnie. Vinnie,
am I glad to see you.

I don't have time.

I was reluctant
about that letter...

Forget that.

I did it halfheartedly

because I don't
want you to leave.

I love you, too.

I feel like I'm
sabotaging your dream.

All is forgiven.

Once I realized that,
i wrote another one.

What's with the uniform?

Uh, I can explain.

Then do it.

Remember that
biggie who could put me over the top?

You didn't.

I did.

I can't.

You will.

Bottom line,
I'm a marginal student.

I thought if I conned you

out of a letter
of recommendation,

it would do the trick.

So I'm apologizing.
I don't really work here.

Good, because you were
a very annoying orderly.

So now that
that's out of the way,

can we talk about
that job in programming?

It was in the mail room.

The mail room?

Are you kidding?

Hey, I'm an artist,

a filmmaker.

I'm beyond television anyway.

It's a vast wasteland,
the boob tube.

Bubble gum for the mind.

Vin, I think Mr. eisner
gets the picture.

About the letter...
Vinnie was wrong,

but it took flair
and imagination

to get in and see you,

and imagination
goes a long way in entertainment.

Yes, he has several qualities

that would help
in my business...

He's sleazy, sly, and deceitful.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

O.K.

O.K., I'll write you
a letter.

Dr. howser...

And Mr. delpino.

Is everything all right here?

Mr. eisner's
writing Vinnie

a recommendation
for film school.

Isn't that great?

Yes, great, indeed.

Uh, thank you
very much, Mr. eisner.

So according to Vinnie's mom,

his grandmother hated New York

and suddenly moved to Florida.

With her went
his free room and board.

So he can't go
to N.Y.U.?

That's right.

I hope he's not
too disappointed.

Me, too.

Good night, doogie.

Good night, mom.

This is absolutely
righteous, man.

"A young man with an
exuberance for life

"and a single driven passion

for the craft
of filmmaking."

I love it.

"If you want
an academician... "

ooh, good word...

"who goes by the book

"and will carry on
the proven ways,

"Vincent delpino
is not your man.

"But if you want someone

"who
challenges barriers, pushes the limits,

"and will
improve the state of the art,

he's definitely
your man."

I'm misting up here, doog.

I believe those words 100%.

That's why I wrote them.

They're going
on my tombstone, I'll tell you that.

Doogie, there's
something I have to cop to here.

When you
talked about our friendship,

well,
i started thinking about it, too.

So I decided to shove aside

my selfish interest
in the big apple.

I'm not going
to N.Y.U.

So we can still
hang out together.

Our friendship
is keeping you here?

That's right, doog.

You're my best friend.

I need you, and
i knew you'd miss me.

So you're staying here
just for me?

Yeah.

Gosh, vin, I'm touched.

How can i make this up to you?

What do you say to
a loan... say, $200?

I'll say your grandmother
moved to Florida.

Your mom told my mom.

You know, the delpinos
have big mouths.

Yes, and you're a delpino
through and through.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Good night.

Good night.
