Yes. If any men.

Afternoon, Mr. Latterman. You wanted to
see me?

Boykin.

Well, how's the fun drive going? A
little slow, thank you.

I've been going through your records.

And, Boykin, I've been going through
your storerooms. I've been through them

half dozen times after hours.

You should have let me know, Mr.
Lativan. I've been glad to stay and show

around. I didn't want to be shown
around.

Now, here's roughly $6 ,400 of supplies
unaccounted for.

If you've something to say about them
now at the time.

I'd have to go over this with some care.

I mean now.

Oh, well, blankets.

Well, that's easy. You see, you've only
been with us eight months, Mr. Lativan.

Well, when Mr. Carew was the hospital
director and he'd see blankets that were

usable but pretty near through, he'd say
to me, Eddie, get rid of these. And I'd

hand them on to some orderlies or some
of the help.

Well, that's perfectly proper.

Why is there no record of it? What about
12 microscopes?

42 thermos bottles?

Are you trying to call me a thief, Mr.
Lativan?

I'm trying to avoid it.

You're either that or incompetent. In
either case, you're discharged.

Now, I'm not going to bring suit against
you, nor am I going to disclose any of

the tales unless you require me to.

If you feel you've been done an
injustice, you can take that up directly

the Board of Trustees.

Well, now that you speak of the Board,
Mr. Lativan, of Mr. Bill Revere, he's a

trustee. You'll find that he thinks
quite highly of me.

You see, he was appointed by the city,
and I came to this job out of the city

administration. Well, they don't forget
about me downtown.

Will you call accounting, please?

See if Mr. Boykin's check is ready.
He'll be right down to pick it up.

You've been a pretty busy little boy,
haven't you?

Lativan, I'm going to bend you over, and
500 people around here are going to let

out a great big cheer because you're not
very popular in this hospital.

I'm going to tie a can to you. I swear
that. With regards from me.

All right, now, doctor.

You're looking at the kid, and you're
thinking, uh, uh, maybe this is another

case of very, very, or whatever.

Uh, no, no. Here.

Hit him with a scoop.

Gee, is that Dr. Kildare?

The Dr. Kildare?

Here at Blair General Hospital, we call
him the young miracle worker.

Don't you have someplace to go? Doctor!

All right, doctor, that does it.

See, it's like I told you, another
miracle cure.

All right, Scoochie, go get yourself a
fix.

You know...

There's something about that face.

I mean, like it's almost spiritual, if
you dig me. Look, will you blow?

Oh, don't get your beriberi in an
uproar, Doctor.

Well, after you, Dr. Schweitzer.

How much longer with this charade?

Oh, a couple, three days.

Look, I didn't pick you out. This
director friend of yours, what's his

Lativan? Well, if you're through for the
day, I'll go talk to Lativan. All

right, I'll see you tomorrow.

Don't bet on it.

Steve, did that new shipment of
fluorescents come in? Yes, Mr.

I hope they all get better soon.

Oh, Mr. Leiterman.

Hi, Jim.

How's our photographer's model?

Well, that's what I wanted to talk to
you about. Sir, do you mind coming

Keep on.

Mr. Leiterman, I realize the importance
of this fundraising campaign, but I

can't see why... I'd like to simplify
admission procedures if I could.

A man comes in here with his wife in
labor, a kid with a sick year.

Isn't there some way he doesn't have to
sit down for half an hour with some

typist and hear the history of his life?
They want help.

Well, x -ray is a mess.

Get an x -ray tomograph, cobalt machine
for cancer therapy, turn it all out, put

it all back.

$120 ,000.

Hello, Mr. Director.

Rena.

I heard you were at the resort until
Tuesday.

Well, I got a little tired of that
resort, Chipper.

Besides, my innards started bashing
around, so I came back this morning. I

an appointment with Dr. Gillespie.

He didn't tell me. I saw him today. He
didn't tell me that.

For God, I expect.

I really have been feeling rotten,
Chipper.

I'm sorry.

Oh, Rena, this is Dr. Kildare.

Oh, yes, I remember.

The intern's lunch. It's nice to see you
again. We spoke a long time.

Jim.

Oh, I just saw you in a poster driving
in.

Jim's our model intern for the fun
drive.

He's been having a ball.

Now, drop by the office when you're
through. If I'm finished, I'll drive you

home. Oh, thank you, dear.

Did you get some rest at the resort?

Or did I drink, you mean?

Look, get that, will you? Oh, sure,
sure.

I'm sorry. No, no.

Talk about balancing the national
budget.

It costs this hospital $32 .83 per day
per patient.

One out of every seven of our patients
can afford and does pay that.

This outfit ran $208 ,000 in the red
last year just for operating expenses.

What was it?

What? What do you want to see me about?

Oh, the fun drive.

My part.

I feel silly posing for these pictures.

I know the hospital has to raise money,
but do you have to do it with all this

sob stuff and make -believe?

Yeah.

That's the way it works.

People need an image to give to, and
you're it.

The hospital image.

The weary, handsome, charitable,
faithful intern. I can't show them 40

lousy wiring, but I can show them you if
I have to put you on a white horse and

ride you through the streets like Lady
Godiva.

We need the money.

Does that answer your question?

Okay.

I have the result of a test you had
before, Mrs. Latterman.

Upper gastrointestinal and gallbladder
films show nothing.

Blood counts and liver function are
okay.

I'm the picture of health.

Then why do I feel as if there's a price
fight going on inside?

What about alcohol, Mrs. Latterman?

Do you drink more than, shall we say, a
normal amount?

Would that cause it?

No.

But it's possible that what you say is
churning you up is real, though not

entirely physical.

I should see a psychiatrist. That's what
you're saying.

In a nice way.

Worth a try.

Doctor. I admit I behaved quite badly at
times.

And I've been a hindrance to my husband.

But I want to beat it my own way.

You might have it filled.

What is it?

Some kind of sugar?

Oh, Mr. David, I'm so pleased.

It's a ladder.

Hello, Stephen. Enter.

We won't be seeing you tomorrow night,
did we? Oh, yes. I'll be there with all

the other little trustees eating out of
your husband's hand.

Well, he has to feed you, of course.

He's after your money.

Goodbye, Doctor.

What's she come to you about, Leonard?

None of your business.

What are you doing?

Oh, just wandering around.

No, you're not.

Oh, Dr. Kelly.

Still posing for pictures? No, no, I'm
on my way to Shangri -La.

Intern's quarter.

I just dropped in on my husband. He was
going to drive me home, but he's

terribly busy.

He goes to things awfully hard. Yes.

Good morning, Chipper. Hi.

I'll fix some bacon for you. No, thanks.

This is fine.

I'm behind schedule.

You were at it late last night.

I don't even remember you coming in.
Working on the fun drive report to the

board of trustees.

I called the agency about this evening.

They'll send us two maids and a butler
from 5 to 11, just as if we owned them.

Be struggling up all right?

You sure you're up to it?

Of course I'm up to it.

I want to do it.

Well, I can just as easily entertain the
board in the hospital. Trustee's room,

I'd plan that.

I know you'd plan that.

But that's when I wasn't going to be
here.

I am here now.

I think it's ridiculous. No, it's more
of a business meeting than social.

I won't interfere with a business
partnership, Chipper.

Well, a beef start -off's fine.

I asked Jim McKildare to drive me home
yesterday.

Oh? How come?

My inside started acting up again as I
was leaving the hospital.

He was there, so... What's your
business?

Why do you say that, Chipper?

Just remember, he's an intern.

I like him very much.

He reminds me of someone I used to know.

very important at night.

Or is that why you wanted me in storage
at the resort?

The fun drive.

We've an idea what to expect from the
general public.

It's less than we hoped for.

It depends now if we're to make it on
how much the city kicks in and on major

donations from individuals.

Mr. Devitt?

Well, people like him. But the city
administration is very important. Mr.

Revere, you know him. He's one of the
three trustees appointed by the city.

don't like me very much. Why not?

I had hoped tonight to get some
indication of how much to expect from

That's why it's very important that
everyone be in a cheerful, relaxed,

expansive mood.

Everything smooth.

And you don't want me drunk or making
scenes.

Please.

Why does it have to be like this every
morning of our lives?

Why couldn't I stay in the trees with
the other baboons?

Please. Can we not have a row?

Just this once.

I told you it was important.

Oh, Chipper, I'm sorry.

I'm going to be a very good wife and
hostess.

Sensational. I'm going to help. I don't
need help.

Just things under control.

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine, Chipper.

Why don't you go along to work?

All right, come on, give it up.

He can't tie it, huh?

He couldn't tie a suture either.

Sure, he lacks the social graces. It's
your early training that counts.

Just don't let those trustees see you
with that tie. Keep your chin down.

Hey, where did you go yesterday?

Oh, I drove Mrs. Leitman home.

No kidding.

Hey, what did you do?

Capish. It disappoints me very much to
hear you ask that type of question.

Well, it exhibits a thoroughly immature
attitude.

What'd you do?

Well, we talked.

I mean, she talked mostly about her
husband.

He was a war hero.

Latimer? Yeah.

Invasion of Normandy. Battlefield
commission.

Then he got hurt.

That's when she met him. Hospital in
England.

She'd been studying in England.

Ended up a nurse.

You know, there's something about her,
though.

Excitement.

She... Oh!

Ow!

Oh, spring got me.

That's worse than the one in my room.

Hey, hey, look. Look, if you're so cozy
with the Latimans, do something about

this, will you? There isn't a sound
stick of furniture in Shangri -La.

Capish. This affair tonight isn't on a
much higher plane.

Sure. He's gone hi -hat. No, you read
the list of goals in the fun drive.

There's two and a half million. A new
lab for Gillespie, new electricity.

Where does it say anything about new
chairs for saddle -sore interns?

He's right. Ask him. Why not?

Because I don't think it would be
appropriate.

All right.

Give me back my tie. Hey, wait. What?
No.

Even for even, buddy.

You won't ask about the chairs. You
won't wear my tie.

Yeah. All right. All right. All right.
I'll ask. You promise?

Look, don't mess me up. I'm late
already.

I promise.

Okay.

Don't forget.

Yeah. And don't eat peas with your
knife.

Mrs. Laroon.

Rina, I'm old enough to call you. That
was a handsome dinner.

Better than you'd have had at the
trustee's room.

Oh, definitely.

Be sure and tell my husband that.

Dr. Gillespie?

Hildare, you didn't tie that tie.

Oh, no, no. It kind of clips on.

If you report to me tomorrow, I'll teach
you the mysteries of the bow tie.

Well, that's very kind of you, sir. It
is. Where did you get it?

Dr. Gerson loaned it to him. Well,
traded it to him.

Traded?

Yeah, I promised to talk to Mr. Lativan
about the chairs.

The armchairs at Shangri -La, they're in
pretty bad shape.

Good luck.

Mr. Lativan.

Something I promised to ask you about,
sir. The chairs.

Lativan.

Oh, excuse me, Jim. Revere.

I don't like to ask the question on a
nice occasion like this, but what about

Eddie Boykin?

I wish I hadn't asked it myself. Well,
what about him?

Well, the way he tells it, you parked
him out after eight years of faithful

service. Did he tell you the reason?

It's a little embarrassing for us in the
city administration.

Eddie has connections, you know.

Yes, that's what he told me.

Suppose you might reconsider?

I think you ought to ask him why it was
fine.

I can ask you. It's simpler.

I think it's much better for all
concerned if we say that I did it on my

authority. Without explaining to the
board?

Not unless you and the rest of the board
requires it.

Well, let's let it go for now.

I'd much rather have it that way.

Oh, excuse me, gentlemen.

Give you a light, Mr. Davitt. I left my
lighter in my other trousers.

Getting old.

Things seem to be going very nicely,
don't they, Chipper?

Where are the matches?

Should be all over the living room.

They aren't.

I saw you talking with Revere. Is he
trying to make some kind of trouble?

Because maybe I can... I'll handle it.
You stay out of it. Mr. Devitt needs the

light.

Here.

Light it two or three times over.

Renat? Oh, Mr. Revere.

Bill or Willie call me either and I come
running.

Willie. That's it.

I just had a chat with your husband.

He's a very tough cookie.

Well, I never... He's been firing a lot
of people at the hospital.

He just let go the store's keeper, a man
named Eddie Boykin.

Well, I never interfere.

He doesn't tell me much.

I would.

I'd tell you a lot.

There's a certain amount of resentment,
naturally.

Right on the board.

It puts things a little bit in jeopardy.

But I guess I can patch it over.

A few ruffled feathers, that is.

But they can be spooled down.

A man like Eddie is expendable.

Willie, I get a sense of being offered a
bargain.

That must be the politician in me.

Everything I say sounds like a deal.

You talk as if you've heard of me.

My little exploits.

Oh, I have to get around.

I know you're not tame.

Neither am I. Not domesticated, even.

Sorry, Willie.

No deal.

Who's there?

Jim?

Were you out here?

Oh, I just wandered out a second ago.
Oh, no, you didn't. You heard all that,

didn't you?

I was wondering whether I had a popping
one.

Exactly what Chipper would have done,
solving nothing.

Oh, Lord, Jim.

I'm caught.

You'll feel better in a minute.

Not ever.

Nights like this in England, I was an
army nurse.

We'd come out on the porch of the
hospital and watch the Nazis fly over on

way to bomb London.

All in tidy formation.

All horrid and beautiful.

Then, of course, later the traffic was
all going the other way.

The Boeings by day and the Lancasters by
night.

That was the best.

Oh, I met Chip in that hospital. I tell
you that?

Yeah.

When he was convalescing, when I could
get off, we'd go for rambles in the

fields.

He couldn't walk much, but those were
wonderful days.

There was war around us and danger.

It lifted a person up.

I had a feeling that he needed me.

I had a peace and contentment with each
other.

Oh, isn't that funny?

Happiest time of my life.

I was in a war with death all around.

The man I love all broken up like a
bundle of sticks.

He was full of fight.

Like you, Jim.

He made himself walk.

And he made himself run.

That's very appealing in a young man,
Jim.

But it gets tough when he puts it to
work.

When he decided to go into medical
administration... You know, I was a

and a good one.

And I thought...

Here's something I can help him with.

Don't do that to your wife, Jim.

Clothes are out of things.

Now, this is nearly enough for the new
facilities and equipment we need. For

rest, I suppose we'll have to depend on
individuals and on the city.

Oh, well, you know, nothing I say is
binding on the city council.

And, of course, things have been a bit
sticky this year.

Well, while the city's waiting to make
up its mind, I'll speak individually.

It's time for us to get it up.

Those of us who still have any of it
left.

So, Adam, I know it's not on your list
of needed improvements, but it suits my

personal fancy, and I'm old enough to
indulge myself.

I expect to donate $500 ,000 for the
construction and equipping of a new

operating amphitheater.

I propose it be called, in honor of my
instructive and truculent friend, the

Leonard Gillespie Amphitheater.

Well, Stephen, I'm an internist, not a
surgeon, but I thank you for the

compliment. That's a very generous gift,
sir.

Well, I hope it's appropriate.

As I say, I know it wasn't on your list
of needs.

No, sir, it wasn't exactly.

Jim, there's still a party in there.

Take me in and off to the side.

See if I can manage.

You sure you want to?

Just keep talking and get me by the main
bunch.

knows I could have given you new wiring,
Latterman. No one puts plaques on

electrical circuits. It's a fine gift
and fine facility.

What I need is some frank opinions.

Oh, young fella.

Kildare?

Your frank opinion.

Oh, I'm sorry, I've been on site. The
opinion of what?

Oh, the need for a new operating
amphitheater.

Oh, well, I guess we need that like a
hole in the head.

Well, what I mean is the one we have is
never more than half full.

Well, it's not on the list of new
facilities, is it?

Mr. David has offered the hospital a new
operating theater.

Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I didn't understand
that. I've been outside and...

Well, I guess that's frank enough. I
think I should explain that, uh, Dr.

Kildare doesn't speak for the hospital,
nor for me. Our young intern... Oh,

leave him alone!

Don't you dare embarrass him!

He gave you an honest answer. Is that a
crime? Rena!

Charity! There's not an ounce of charity
in the lot of you! Oh, tons of self

-importance! The name in the paper!

The grateful director says!

Maybe I'd better go, Latimer. Please,
Mrs. Abbott.

Give a little, take a little. Isn't that
right, Willie?

It isn't even your money and you try to
make bargains with it. I guess you don't

feel very well, Mrs. Gladden. Oh, you
sanctimonious... Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

She's been under quite a strain.

Can I do anything to help?

No, thank you.

You've done enough for one evening.

Yes, Mrs. Valliere.

Yes, I... Yes,

it was a sad business last night.

But I only hope, and I speak as chief of
staff, we all want what is best for the

hospital.

That you'll let the dust settle
before... Yes, of course.

Yes.

Well, thank you, Mrs. Valliere.

You'd make a good ballot stuffer.

Revere's likely to move that Lativan be
dismissed.

And with the two other votes he has in
his pocket, plus Ali Summers, two more

sound undecided.

He's close to a majority right there.
Probably depends on you.

I've got news for you, friend.

I'm not so sure we should keep Lativan
on.

We're in the middle of a big funds
drive.

It depends on a large donation by the
city over and above its share of the

annual expenses.

Revere will influence it. Revere doesn't
get along with Lativan.

Are you going to let three city votes
dictate to the entire board?

Lativan's always talking about the
public image the hospital makes.

I'm concerned, too.

What kind of a public image does Mrs.
Lativan make?

Suppose she could be helped. I'm just
asking.

All right, you make me say it.

I have personal feelings.

She gave me a good dropping last night.

I'm an old man.

I'm a rather influential man.

By and large, I'm a polite man.

I don't like to be worked over in mixed
company.

Kildare was right.

The hospital does need a new operating
theater, like a hole in the head.

All right.

I'll give the money without strings,
only you don't have to shove my nose in

Leonard.

I was going to put your blasted name on
it.

It's gratitude.

Can I talk to you a minute, Jim?

Get in.

Just saw Chip at the office.

How were things this morning?

At home, you mean?

Oh, fine.

They always are.

That's part of the ritual.

I'm always very repentant.

Chip is always very dear, very
forgiving.

And gentle as a man could be.

Things don't work out here, he said.

The way I fix things, they probably
won't.

He said we'll just... Move on.

Together, you see.

Facing the future, unafraid.

Well, that sounds pretty good.

Pretty good?

That's part of the ritual, I think.

Sick.

I'm leaving him, Jim. I... I just saw
him and told him so.

Oh, I'm confused myself.

But I just...

Got to get out of this.

It's awful repetitious.

Well, the myth.

This pattern of things.

Going through the same things over and
over, like being on a track.

On a track going through the same
stations over and over.

Well, anyway, I... I want to see you,
Jim, because I want to apologize

for hauling you through it.

in that scene last night.

Stupid of me to drag you through such...
No, no, I... I talked to Chipper about

it. He understands that you weren't
involved.

He won't retaliate against you.

He wouldn't anyway.

Well, I wasn't worried about that.

You leaving?

Right away?

Right away.

Up and away.

Oh, I love him.

Rina, if you do love him, well... Well,
how long have you been married?

Fifteen years.

The job's good for him, this hospital.

He wants it.

He can do fine things.

If I'm out of the way, maybe...

Maybe he has a better chance of hanging
on to it.

That sounds a little too noble.

Let's just say I... I don't like what we
do to each other.

It just seems like 15 years is an awful
lot to kick out without having one more

good, different try at it, doesn't it?

Get out of the car now, Jim. Please.

I'm sorry.

Goodbye.

Hello, Lativan. Mr. Lativan, he just
pushed by me.

It's all right, Ellie.

All right.

Now that you're in, what do you want? I
don't feel much like talking.

Well, then suppose you just listen.

Lativan, I'd like you to give me my job
back.

Can you think of any reason why I should
do that?

I wouldn't be here if I couldn't, would
I?

Get me Mr. Revere.

Why get Bill Revere?

As far as I'm concerned, this is
private.

There's no reason why we can't conduct
this privately.

I'm not out to cause you any public
embarrassment.

What have you got to say?

Well, now, you were pretty rough on me,
Mr. Lativan.

And you give me no choice but to protect
myself.

Now, I hold you no hard feelings. Get to
the point. All right.

Now, I judge you'd like to stay in your
job, same as I'd like to stay in mine.

Well, since our recent unpleasantness,
I've been doing some checking. I even

went out of town on it.

Places you've worked.

I've been checking into your career.

Your wife's, that is.

You see, they seem to go together.

I've got a lot of the details, Latimer.

Lack mail.

I'd just like to get my job back. Same
as I judge you'd like to stay in yours.

Now, you've had a lot of good jobs in
the last eight years.

And you've left them, all of them,
because of some jam your wife got

into.

When your wife goes on a spree, Lativan,
she's not only colorful, she's

spectacular.

Put him on.

Mr. Revere.

Your friend, Ed Boykin, is here in the
office with me. Do you know what for?

Did you even know he was coming to see
me?

Do you take any responsibility for him
at all?

I wanted to know how many mouths I have
to clean out.

What?

I wouldn't recommend you're trying to
get tough with me. This is for all

like you.

They're fighting.

You all saw this.

You all saw it publicly.

Get a hold of yourself, Ellie.

Come and take a memo.

To each of the Board of Trustees' usual
copies, I find it clearly in the best

interest of the Blair General Hospital
and myself to submit my resignation.

I ask you to accept it at your earliest
convenience.

Oh, come on, Ellie. Come on.

At your earliest convenience.

I will remain, of course, until you
appoint another director.

That's it.

the first and only order of business is
Mr. Latimer's resignation.

Is there a motion?

Move would be accepted.

Second. The question is now open.

Does anyone wish to be heard in favor of
the motion?

Does anyone wish to suggest that we do
not accept Mr. Latimer's resignation?

Well, I suppose then I'll have to do
some talking.

Doctor?

Well, what's up? I didn't quite
understand you over the telephone.

Sit down, Chipper.

A few days ago, you told me

to respect your rights as administrator.

I took that advice.

Now I am asking you to respect my
rights.

Not as a doctor, but as a friend.

I have a profound aversion to meddling,
but we are friends, and we're both

devoted servants of Blair Hospital.

Yes, sir. I respect the work you've done
for Blair.

Thank you.

And I have respect for you as a man.

And also, I have concern.

Chipper, you've had quite a few jobs in
the past 15 years, and you quit those

jobs and moved on.

It's a pattern.

Well, there were reasons.

I'm sure.

There was torment in your personal life.

Doctor, you... You were decorated for
exceptional bravery in the last war.

Tell me, how badly were you scared?

Well, everybody's scared.

Oh, I know that.

But how badly?

Between you and me, Chipper.

I was determined not to be scared. I
just whooped right in.

That's when I got the medal.

After that, you were right. I gave out a
gas.

They gave me a company to lead.

To lead.

By then, I didn't know what from down.

I was lucky. I had a good top sergeant.
He practically carried me around by the

hand.

When I got it at St. Louis, I think if I
hadn't got it that day,

the next day I would have turned and
run.

That answer your question?

Now I'm getting outside my competence
medically.

But I can suggest a few things, Chipper.

You know the feelings that can run
through a person's life, whether

not.

Feelings of guilt, say, or feelings of
inadequacy.

Taking a job and not wanting to hold it
too long.

Fears of being found out.

Taking a wife and looking in her for
weaknesses you fear in yourself.

Driving her to disgrace you sometimes.

First because...

You find excuses.

Secondly, punishment.

Punishment you might feel you deserved
yourself.

I can't say that I agree with all that.

Don't you think it's time you did
something about it?

Psychiatry might help you.

Unless you are content with your life as
it's going on.

Nobody can do everything all alone.

Well, even admitting that I should
straighten a few things out,

it's a little late. Rena's left me, you
know.

Maybe if Rena knew that you were going
to do something about it.

Well, I couldn't do anything here.

I've resigned.

Let me ask you another question.

If the board asked you to stay on, would
you?

That's impossible.

I'm not sure.

I bashed a man over the head publicly.

Some of the staunchest members of the
board have been guilty of violence at

time.

Well, that's quite a big bundle all at
once.

I'll have to do a lot of thinking about
it.

I wish you would.

It may not happen, but if it does, I
wish you would.

You are arguing to keep on a man who
wants to resign.

And if we do keep him on, who is likely
to be a public disgrace.

I think you're forgetting.

The city has a stake in this hospital.

I don't think the city will support with
money a man it has no faith in.

It or you personally.

Who is the city, Mr. Revere?

City Hall, you mean?

Or a collection of a good many thousands
of people, including all of us with our

human weaknesses?

Maybe City Hall forgets the stake
individuals have in this hospital.

I thought maybe we ought to have another
whack at it.

Now, just a minute before you say
anything, Chipper.

It can't be the way it's been. If I
thought that, I... If we do try to stay

together, we've got to do a lot of
things about ourselves.

I mean real things.

And not just me. You too, Chipper.

I'm tired of being your yo -yo.

I drove a long way away from here.

But after I got over a feeling...

sore and vile and useless.

One thing I kept feeling was loving you.

That and something Jim Kildare said.

About 15 years being a lot to kick away.

Made me sore at first.

Stuck in my mind.

Chipper, if you will try, I think we
ought to have to go at it.

I love you.

It has been 15 years, but...

I'm not so bad -looking still, and,
well, you know, I can be quite a deal.

Matter of fact...

I've been

thinking along the same lines myself.

On one hand, don't ever ask me to do a
thing like that again.

On the other hand, I haven't had so much
fun in years.

This revere is a hard giver -upper.

It finally came to more or less of a
direct threat, is, that if we ask

to stay, City Hall might withdraw their
entire financial support of the

hospital. Yank the rug completely.

A bluff?

Who knows?

Whereupon your aged servant did this.

I said that if City Hall should withdraw
its support, that I would pick up the

tab myself.

Yourself? You haven't that much money.

Oh, yes, I have.

I could do it for about five years, I
calculate.

Then I'd be stone broke.

I told Revere I'd tell every newspaper
in the country what I was doing and why

was doing it, and what I thought of his
and City Hall's dereliction of duty.

He fooled it.

You're quite a fellow.

Yep.

Chipper, Mrs. Latterman, have you heard
the news?

We ran into several members of the board
on our way in.

Mr. Devitt, I think we owe it all to
you.

And after what I... Well, I think it was
a very fine thing of you to show us

that courtesy.

Courtesy?

Well, we can't stay on here, Blair.

We'll stay, of course, until you find a
new director.

But Rena and I think for ourselves
that...

We better move on. Be easy for you.
Remember, you have to live with City

Yes, we have to get along with City
Hall.

You've moved on before.

Yes, but this time we won't be running.

Well, it may be the wise thing for your
own sake. For the sake of the hospital,

I'm sorry.

I think you should know that Mr. Devitt
put all he has on the line for you

tonight. Leonard, stop trying to con
them.

This is for the best. It was good for me
tonight.

It was good for everybody.

I enjoyed it.

You know, it's very, very seldom anymore
that a rich old man gets to throw his

weight around.

Mr. Devitt, you're a gentleman.

And you are a lady.

If you gentlemen will look after this
lady, I have a call to make.

Hi, Jim.

Hi. It's me, Lativan.

Lativan.

I hate to route you up in the middle of
the night.

Oh, that's all right.

I thought you'd like to know that Rena's
come back. She said you had something

to do with it, a thing you said.

I want to thank you.

Oh, well... Jim, you were dragged
through a lot of unpleasantness because

I'm sorry if there's anything I can do.

Oh, no, no, no, no. I mean it.

I'm in your debt.

Oh.

Oh, well, now that you bring it up.

There's the chairs.

Chairs?

Well, like this.

They're like this all over Shangri -La.

Something the matter with it?

Well, sure, sure. All of them. They're
all like this.

Well, frankly, it seems pretty...

Sturdy to me.

Sit down on it. It's ugly.

It's fine.

You said something about doing a favor.

Maybe they could be replaced.

Well, that costs money.

Well, if something could be done...
Done?

I'll tell you what could be done. There
must be a box of tools around here

someplace. If you don't like your chair,
you can fix it.

Interns. Always squawking about
comforts. What will it be next?

Swimming pools?

Thank you.

Thank you.
