Why, Olaf, how are you?

Come on in and we'll take a look at that
leg of yours.

I'm sorry, but if Olaf has a broken leg,
how can he jump up on the table? And

why would I be listening to his chest?

Cut!

We are never going to get out of here.
But shouldn't I look like a real doctor?

Jill, um, listening through a
stethoscope, sell doctor. And that's

trying to do here today, right? Sell
doctor. But if it makes you feel more

comfortable, I'm sure that Olaf can
cough a few times.

Liam? Uh, yeah.

Okay, Barry. I feel like an idiot. Hey,
no.

All right, this is it. Let's just shoot
this puppy.

Action!

Why, Olaf.

Hi, how are you?

Come on in.

And we'll take a look at that leg of
yours.

My God!

The man has tuberculosis. Hi!

I can't do this.

I'm not even sure that I think it's
ethical for positions to advertise.

We have got to compete somehow.

And what we've got going for us is our
down -home appeal. Joey, if we're going

to shoot that porch segment, we've just
got to get moving.

The doorway thing?

Yeah, it's with the two of us at the
front door of the clinic, waving.

Oh. You know, Carol, she's looking a
little bit shiny.

Over which you hear, come on home to
Joey and Jill.

Jill and Joey, whatever.

No, no, I'm not going to do that. Stop
that.

Hon. Look, this whole commercial was
your idea. I'm not going to do it. You

in it. I give you my permission. I'm
going to go and be a real doctor before

forget what it is.

Liam, bring in the actress.

Jimmy, you okay? Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Open!

All right, yeah!

15 -4!

All right, that's game!

Game 21.

Come on, come on, let's play. Jimmy,
come on. You look beat. I'm fine, I'm

I'm fine. You guys are going to quit
because of me now. It's over, buddy.

a fork in it. You're done, huh? See you
on Thursday, right? Yeah. Yeah, I know

what happened. I thought it was a step
or two, I guess.

More like three.

Don't worry, Jimmy, you'll get it.

All

the

way up to the belly button.

All right, that's right on schedule for
20 weeks.

How are you feeling?

Great.

I haven't thrown up in three weeks.

Are you taking your vitamins?

Yes. And you're feeling the baby move?

All the time.

He feels like Mike Tyson.

Oh, I remember the first time that I
felt Matthew move.

I was taking my medical board, and I
burst into tears in front of a room full

residents.

I'm sure they thought I was having some
kind of breakdown.

It all just suddenly felt so real.

Exactly.

Incredible.

I'm really going to have a baby. Yep.
And it's starting to become pretty

to the rest of the world, too, Laurie.

It's none of my business, but how are
you going to handle this? All the

questions, I mean.

People ask, I'll tell them.

I'm not ashamed.

This is the most wonderful thing that's
ever happened to me.

But it's a small town, and people are
bound to talk.

You've been divorced for over a year.

Let them talk.

It's nobody's business whose baby this
is.

That's right.

I want to see you again in a month.

Watch yourself.

Thanks, Jill.

Case number 14739, People v. Pratt. The
bench would like to acknowledge the

return of Mr. DeLuca.

Your presence in this courtroom has been
keenly missed.

Thank you, Your Honor.

All right, let's get to it.

Your Honor.

The defendant, Mr. Pratt, is charged
with stealing three bras, two slips, and

257 pairs of women's underwear from
Meters Quick and Dry on Hazel Street. My

client vehemently denies ever setting
foot at the Quick and Dry.

Furthermore, Mr. Pratt is married.

If he needed women's underpants, he
needed to look no further than his own

bedroom. Um, the underwear in question,
um...

The underwear in question was found in
the defendant's trunk.

A plant by a jealous business
competitor.

The people are charging Willard Pratt
with 262 counts of felony theft.

Felony? Pardon me, Counselor.

But unless things have changed around
here,

filching undergarments hardly
constitutes a felony.

I'm sorry, Your Honor. I misspoke.

Misdemeanor theft.

Dr. Brock, I've been waiting for over an
hour. Oh, Margie, I'm so sorry. I'm

going to get to you just as soon as I
can. Cecile, who is my next patient?

Don't ask me. I've been trying to
organize this filing system you set up.

Excuse me? Oh, your gynecologist called.
He'd like to confirm your tubal

ligation next Thursday.

Cecile, next time write it down. You
don't need to announce my personal

to the entire waiting room.

Lose the dog, Dave.

Simple as that.

You want to get rid of your allergies?

Get rid of the dog.

Dr. Diamond, can I see you in my office
for a minute, please?

It was my understanding that Cecile's
job is to pull the charts and book the

patients. Instead, I have a room full of
double -book patients and no file.

Jill, Cecile is wonderful.

Trust me.

She's been with me for ten years.

You just have to let her do it her own
way. What way?

Look, this office... The office was a
mess.

It's going to take more than three days
to straighten it out.

You'll see, Cecile is not so bad.

She just has a little problem with
authority.

Now, what's really bothering you? I told
you I don't like the way the office is

being run.

No, that's not it.

Okay, if you want to talk, you know
where to find me.

I've got to go see my next patient.

Okay, Adele, you're up.

Barry Bonds.

Ken Griffey Jr.

Fielding or at the plate?

Jimmy.

Ah, Mickey Mantle. You ever see the guy
play?

Oh, you mean the guy that died?

For my time.

He was the best. No contest there.

He could end up with more runs than
Mickey Mantle ever dreamed of.

Pitching was great every day.

Don't look now, Jimmy, but the mayor's
back and she's headed right for your

office.

She's gonna get you sooner or later.

Better late.

What am I missing?

You didn't hear about it?

The other night at the PTA auction, Otto
Baer pledged two grand to see Jimmy and

the mayor polka together.

So? So it's the polka, Skeeter. You ever
see anybody polka?

I've done it. It's kind of liberating.

I don't polka.

Marta and I clog.

Been taking lessons for about a year
now.

That's a good workout.

Sure.

Grow up with Mickey Mantle. He wasn't
supposed to die.

Hi, Mrs. Brock. Is Zach ready?

Hi, Nick.

Bye, Mom. Bye, Dad.

Yeah, bye, fella. Have a good time. Give
me Kim. Give me Kim.

Oh, okay. I don't need her anymore.

Just as much as gushing over him in
front of his friends, that's all.

Why didn't we have another baby?

I'm serious. Why didn't we?

Jill, he's only going to be gone
overnight.

Gone already?

You didn't want any more kids, did you?

Is this going to be a serious
discussion? Because if it is, I'm going

beer. What's wrong with you?

My knee.

That's not the basketball.

That's not the basketball. I just
haven't been stretching enough.

Jimmy, you're too old to be playing with
those drugs.

I saw Tim Taheen the other day, popped
his Achilles, doing exactly the same

thing. He's going to be in a cast for
six months.

Now, I can still go full court if you're
talking as though...

I can't do it anymore.

Jimmy, you're 53 years old.

So?

You can have kids until you're 80.

Of course, Susan Sarandon did it.

Did what?

Had a baby when she was 45.

Not everybody can do that, of course.

Are we talking about having a baby?

I examined Laurie Bay today.

I was remembering what it's like to be
pregnant with your first child.

It's such a miracle.

Laurie Bay is pregnant?

Five months, Jimmy. Isn't it obvious?

What did you used to call Matthew?

Pinto Bean.

What are we talking about?

My tubal ligation, Jimmy.

Do you remember that we talked about
that?

I made an appointment for next week.

Oh.

So what's the problem?

I always thought that the possibility
would be there.

And now it won't be.

Hey, Jimmy, why don't you take up golf?

Then you can ride around all day in a
cart with old guys and pee on the

When did the insomnia begin?

After I got out of the hospital. I
thought it was the medication they'd

for the pain, but I don't know.

And tell me about the anxiety.

Is it something that you feel primarily
in relation to work, or is it something

there all the time?

I just... I don't feel normal.

You know, maybe... I don't know, maybe
it's this light.

These short days, it just feels like
everything's over.

Over? How?

I keep having this dream.

You know, every night, my brother Dale,
he's about 12 years old in the dream,

and he's tossing this football around,
and it just gets to me.

You know, his face.

John.

You've been through a terrible ordeal.

Your brother's death and your injury.
You can't push yourself too much right

now. I know all that. I just, I think if
I could sleep, you know, just get a

little sleep, I could deal with this
thing better.

And thank God, Kara's at her
grandmother's. I mean, I can barely take

myself right now.

Dr. Brock, your 10 o 'clock is here.
Thank you for your 9 .45 and 9 .30.

Cecile, I'm with a patient.

The next time you interrupt me, the
office better be burning down.

Sorry, John.

You can't dance the polka unless you're
happy.

You know, the polka is the state dance
of Wisconsin and America's favorite fun

dance. If you can count to six, you can
do the polka. Shall we begin?

Look,

I can't dance.

Nonsense. Anybody can dance the polka.
If you can walk your two feet in here,

you can dance out.

And as a bonus, you get to hold this
lovely young lady in your arms. Can we

get on with it?

Loud enough?

How are you?

You can hear that?

I can hear it.

The dancing bandit. Are you ready?

All right. Now just follow me.

It's one, two, three, and four, five,
six.

On your toes.

Quick, quick, slow.

Quick, quick, slow. Pick up the paint
and let's all smile.

So, Mr. Timpton, where were you on the
night of October 12th?

At Meter's, quick and dry on Hazel
Street.

I do my laundry there every Thursday
night. Fine. Did you notice anything

unusual that night?

Yes, I did.

there was a suspicious gentleman lurking
around the change machine.

Uh -huh.

And can you describe him for us?

Uh -huh.

Balding. All dressed up, businesslike.

Very conceited. You know the type.

I love me.

I love me. Got my picture on the shelf.

I love me. I love me. No one but myself.

Objection, Your Honor.

Irrelevant. Sustained.

Ma 'am.

Just answer the question.

And Mr. Lawson, may I remind you that
you're in a court of law?

Yes, I'm sorry, Your Honor.

What happened next, Mrs. Timpson?

There was this college girl doing her
laundry.

When she went to the restroom, I saw
Baldy there do it.

Do what?

He snuck over to the dryer.

opened it right up, snatched out all
those little fluffy panties, stuffed

in his pants, and gallivanted right out
the door.

I'm sorry. I'm going to need a moment.

Recess. Fifteen minutes.

My chambers.

Here, have some water.

You're dehydrated. Drink.

I don't know what happened to me out
there.

You came back too soon.

Grief takes time.

No good at work, no good at home. You
need a vacation.

You know where you should go?

To Miami Beach.

He doesn't need Miami Beach, Doug.

He needs peace of mind.

John, what can we do for you?

You want another leave of absence?

Someone to help you with your caseload?

I need to go to Chicago.

Chicago at this time of the year?

I don't know why, it's just a feeling
that I have. I need to go home.

Go home if you need to.

Rome will be here when you get back.

Can we take a break?

One more time.

I'm not as young as you are.

I have

to

go back to work.

Tomorrow?

Are you sure it won't be too much for
you?

I've never bought butter.

I don't know.

Five? Five o 'clock, okay?

Okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Bye. Bye.

You know, I actually think I'm not half
bad at it.

The thing people don't seem to realize
about the poker is it's really very

strenuous.

to be in good shape for.

Oh.

Oh, look at that.

Can you believe he's 15 years old?

Oh, this is New Mexico, isn't it?

Yeah, you were... You were so beautiful
then.

What happened?

Honey, that's not what I meant.

You're even more beautiful now. Oh, go
take your shower. Go on.

Jill, if this whole tube tank thing is
bothering you so much, I don't want you

to do it. Why aren't you getting a
vasectomy? I forget.

Because you didn't want me to. No, no,
because I knew you couldn't handle it.

And somebody's got to take the
responsibility. No, no, no, no, no, no.

not going to try to make this my fault
now. We discussed it.

This was your idea. I didn't say
anything about you getting your tubes

Tubal ligation, Jimmy. Stop saying tubes
tied.

It sounds like hog tied.

Besides, after 20 years, I'm tired of
using the diaphragm. I am not going back

on the pill. And you're the one who's
always talking about putting the

spontaneity back in our sex life.

What sex life?

I'm taking a bath.

Jill.

Dr. Diamond, call for you on three.

You have four patients that have been
waiting since 11 o 'clock. Cecile, I

you I had a delivery this morning. Why
didn't you reschedule the early

Dr. Diamond never has me do that. Well,
next time, ask me. Sorry, Clee, it'll

just be a little bit.

Yeah? Mrs. Stumpf is in your exam room.
She's getting answers. Okay, okay.

Jeffrey, stop that.

Oh, a little earache, huh?

Jeffrey, put that down on me. Let's take
a look at it.

It just hurts at night. Oh.

And Jill, the kids have all had fevers
this week. Do you mind looking at them,

too, since we're here and all?

Sure.

Will you excuse me for a moment?

Hung depressors.

Looks like you're out.

You're in charge of restocking, Cecile.
You were ordering way too many. They

were being wasted. They're not meant to
be children's toys.

Really? And when you have a moment, I'd
like to talk to you about your excessive

use of paper products.

Excessive use of paper products?

35 years old, G41.

Here. What's this?

My patients, you could have them. Each
and every one of them. The whole kit and

caboodle, they're yours.

Yours and Cecile's.

This whole thing, this whole ridiculous
asinine partnership thing was a mistake

from the get -go. I quit. You can't
quit. We're a partnership. What?

I divorce you.

This isn't my life.

What am I doing this for? Who am I
trying to impress? You?

a former topless dancer.

Medicine is a noble profession.

We are not selling ourselves like two
-bit car salesmen. We're not peddling

knives or hors d 'oeuvre makers or
feminine hygiene products. We're taking

of people.

So you just get over it, Joanna Diamond.
I'm out of here.

Are you sure you don't want me to get
one of the neighbor boys to go? Yeah,

The walk will do me good.

John.

I almost had to catch myself before I
said, bring that brother of yours home.

It's okay.

Go outside before you catch a cold, all
right?

Very bad.

Running down to the corner.

Jill?

I talked to Cecile about the tongue
depressor situation, and I want you to

that you can have my entire box.

I'll just leave them right here.

Oh, now I know something's wrong. Jill,
I'm smoking in your office.

Filterless.

Menthol.

I'm getting my tube tied tomorrow.

This is a good thing?

I don't know.

Beautiful.

Wonderful.

We got another pickup game in an hour.

Atkinson's out sick.

Nordby pulled a muscle in his groin.

Want to play?

Uh, thanks for asking, Kenny, but I got
a lot of paperwork to do.

You let me know next time, though, okay?

Sure.

like the way you dance.

Oh, I gotta go.

Well, wait. I can't. I need to be
somewhere else right now.

I'm sorry.

Yes.

I'll arrange it.

Now, darling, if you think it's unwise,
I'll understand.

To go on this one must be
occasionally... Yeah?

Dinner's on the stove. We already ate.

Hey.

How was your day?

What are you watching?

I love you, Celia.

We have to talk.

the procedure tomorrow. I've had a
really rough day. I'd just rather go to

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. We haven't
even discussed it. I don't need to

discuss, Jimmy. I made a decision.

I don't know why you're going to do
something if you don't want to do it.

says I don't want to do it? It makes
perfect sense.

It's just hard.

Stop trying to fix it, Jimmy. There's
nothing to fix.

Well, what time do we have to be there?

Don't worry about it. The surgery's at
1. I'll drive myself.

Why would you want to do that? Jimmy,
it's no big deal. They poke a couple of

holes, it's over. Honey, all I got is
that dance thing in the afternoon. I

have to do that. Yes, you do. It's $2
,000 the school needs.

I'll take a cab home. Well, I'll come
and pick you up.

Jimmy, I don't want you to.

I want to do this alone.

Well, let me know if you change your
mind.

Good night, Jimmy.

Hey, Jill.

Weren't you gonna have surgery this
morning?

No, that's this afternoon. I'm just
gonna clean up a few things.

Jimmy gonna take you?

No.

He's got a polka with the mayor.

Oh.

I gotta go over to the hospital this
afternoon. You wanna lift?

Oh, no, no. I wouldn't wanna put you
out. No, I gotta induce Lisa Deal

I'll take you. Just let me know when
you're ready to go.

Okay, thank you.

Oh, um, by the way, I fired Cecile.

No, I thought she'd been with you for
ten years.

Yeah.

She was always a bitch.

So anyway, that's when I looked up, and
it was right there in letters two feet

high.

For God's sake, John, what?

The Center for Law and Community Action.

They do pro bono work for people in the
community.

So in your dream, you saw your brother
sitting on the steps of the... Center

Law and Community Action.

But I didn't know it until I went back
to the old neighborhood. You know, when

was growing up, it was a church.

Anyway, I walk in there and I talk to
the executive director.

And it seems they've been short a staff
attorney for some months.

Nobody wants the job.

You know, the pay's lousy, it's not in
the best of neighborhoods.

Not all that prestigious.

So, uh, I took it.

Just like that. Start next week.

Just like that, huh, John?

Well, I'm all for spontaneity.

But let's not go all half -cocked, huh?

But don't you see it, Judge?

I mean, nothing has been right for me
since my brother died.

Dale.

He didn't always have the best judgment
in the world, but he was right about one

thing.

Me being a DA here in Rome, that's not
who I am.

And as pragmatic as I am, I can't deny
the fact that that dream is the reason I

ended up on the steps of that building.

You know, it led me there.

No,

I have to do this now.

It has been a privilege working with
you, Henry, but I'm going home.

I'm going to miss you.

Okay.

Let's go.

What?

It's your problem?

Can we go somewhere?

I thought we were going to the hospital.

Somewhere else?

Like where?

Anywhere you pick.

Okay. I've got to play.

Welcome on!

Welcome, my friends, to the 13th annual
Bear...

That is much better.

Yes, much, much better.

Do you come here often?

This place, I've only come to a couple
of times. But, you know, I've been doing

this since I was a kid in Philly.

Interesting. Yeah.

The way I see it, hair makes the woman.
I mean, look at

you.

You're mysterious. You're dangerous.

Tired middle -aged. No, Jill, that is
not how we play the game. You have got

learn to let go.

Please, please, please, thank you. Thank
you, everybody.

Give us a little room here, please.

Yeah, Nick May.

Thank you.

And now, ladies and gentlemen.

waiting for.

always wanted.

You know, I really don't want another
child.

Well, God, I hope not.

I just don't want to be a woman who has
gone past all that.

Jill, we're not talking about menopause
here.

I know, but I still see myself at 25.

My whole life in front of me, full of
possibilities.

And then I realized, this is it.

This is my life.

I'm married, I have three children.

I'm partners with a crazy woman who does
ridiculous commercials.

This is it.

I can never go back and start over.

Who would want to?

I know, but... I don't know where...

I go from here.

Newsflash, Jill. None of us does.

It's sort of built into the system.
Keeps things exciting. Keeps us

Well, I know one thing. I'm never going
to be a platinum blonde.

Ah, yes, but you could be, and that's
the beauty of this place.

Okay.

Let's go.

To the hospital?

What the hell?

May I?

I owe you an apology.

Last night, I... I'm

sorry. I didn't know how to tell you.

What?

Oh, boy.

You know, Mickey Mantle's father died
young. Hodgkin's disease had killed all

the Mantle men.

And the Mick lived every day of his life
thinking it was going to get him, too.

So he didn't let anything stop him. He
did what he wanted.

Damned the consequences.

Until the end.

Last night, I was ready to let go of
everything.

Damn the consequences.

Look, I never imagined...

You're

one hell of a damsel, sir.

Okay, let's stop here for your post -op
instructions. If you have any problems,

you'll need to call the doctor. But you
know all that.

Give up.

Would you call me a cab?

Oh, sure.
