Wow, is it lunch time already?

I mean, they've been sitting here doing nothing

for two whole hours.

They've been sitting here doing nothing for two

whole years.

Hey, Jake, while I'm heating up a can,

do you want a tuna melt?

No, thanks.

Amanda and I are meeting for lunch.

Oh, how is Amanda?

She hasn't been around for a while.

Well, she hasn't had time.

She got a great new job at a

record company.

Oh, good for her.

Yeah, good for us.

We haven't had to watch you run your

hands all over her like she was written

in Braille.

Yeah, all that fondling and groping.

I miss Amanda.

Oh, yeah, since the annulment, we've been getting

along great.

You know, we're still living together, but now

we're just dating.

So it's kind of like you're working backwards.

Yeah, it's like you've already gotten married and

divorced.

Before you know it, you'll have never even

met her.

Hey, everybody.

Hey.

Jake, I have a surprise for you.

Close your eyes and don't peek.

Okay.

How about I leave my eyes open and

don't peek?

Oh, right.

Well, I have tickets for our concert tonight.

Oh, great.

Yeah, we're going to take a limo, and

we have backstage passes.

Oh, fantastic.

It's for Neil Diamond.

I can't go.

Why not?

Uh, I forgot.

I have to go to my nana's for

dinner tonight.

Oh, can't you go another night?

Well, Nana doesn't have many nights left.

Neither does Neil Diamond.

Jake, come on.

This concert is a big deal for me.

I have to beg my boss for an

extra ticket.

I can't go alone.

Well, you won't be alone.

You'll be there with Neil Diamond and 4

,000 hearing aids.

Please, please, don't make me do this.

I hate him.

Well, that's what relationships are all about.

Doing things you hate with somebody you love.

Fine, I'll go with someone else.

Okay, Amanda.

I'd be honored to be your escort.

Oh, that's so sweet.

Reggie, can you go?

I would, but, you know, I have my

regular Tuesday night thing.

I get together with a group of people

who...

also don't want to see Neil Diamond.

I'll go.

I like Neil Diamond.

Oh, come on.

You know, his old stuff's really good.

It's all old stuff.

Thank you, John.

I will pick you up here at 5.

Well, that sounds good.

That's the last time you'll say that tonight.

Well, great.

Now you got someone to go with, so

we're okay.

Sure.

Since I know that you won't do something

that you don't like for me, I can

think of some things that you like that

I won't do for you.

But you like those things, too.

She likes those things.

Oh, Becca, remember, it's a Neil Diamond concert,

so you're gonna want to wear...

that.

I'm sorry.

I know I'm late, but my subway got

stuck in the tunnel, and then I couldn't

get a cab, so I had to walk

47 blocks.

You overslept?

Well, excuse me for trying to dress it

up a little.

Margaret, I'm not that late.

You didn't have to replace me.

I'll work harder.

I'll come in earlier.

Linda, that's Judy.

She's only here temporarily to help with the

books.

Oh, just a temp?

About that working harder stuff.

Never mind.

Hi, Judy.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Linda.

Oh, nice to meet you, too.

If you have any questions at all, just

ask me or Margaret.

Well, actually, I did have a question.

What does this code mean?

Uh, that's a Margaret question.

Oh.

Um, okay, what about these numbers in green?

Sorry, Margaret question.

So, what exactly do you do here?

Again, a Margaret question.

I'm leaving early tonight.

I'm going to a Neil Diamond concert.

Wow, Neil Diamond's cool.

Really?

You think so?

Sure.

He's not like that Neil Young guy.

You know, that old fart who wears the

rhinestone jumpsuits and sings those cheesy love songs?

Right, right, right.

Neil, Neil Young.

Hate him.

Okay, John.

Mr. Sarney's vital signs are fine.

He's got his prescription.

Oh, good.

Well, you know, with a little bit of

luck, we'll be able to squeeze a few

more years out of that colon of yours.

Thanks.

See you at the concert.

Yeah.

All right.

Coffee, please.

So, how was Neil Diamond?

When the show was over, did all the

ladies throw their teeth on stage?

Yeah.

Was anybody in the audience able to give

him a standing ovation?

All right, all right, all right.

So, I saw Neil Diamond.

Leave me alone, will you?

It was no big deal.

There he is, the man of the hour.

Oh, finally.

You're talking to me.

Not you.

John, did he tell you guys how he

got up on stage last night?

He pulled you on stage?

Did he sing to you?

Come on, man.

He did not sing to me.

Turns out his drummer had a little problem.

Incontinence?

No, no.

He had a little heart problem.

In the middle of Cracklin' Rosie, I sort

of had to pound on his chest.

And John saved him, you guys.

It was amazing.

Without you, there wouldn't have been an encore.

Yeah.

Coming to America.

That was wonderful.

Oh, and John, I'm sorry I forgot to

bring them, but I'll be home tonight if

you want to stop by and pick up

all your concert goodies.

Concert goodies?

Yeah, never mind.

Oh, no, yeah.

He bought this signed T-shirt and a

mug and a satin jacket and a heart

-like keychain and then...

I know what I got.

I'll try to pick them up.

Thanks.

Okay, great.

Well, I'll see you later.

Oh, and John, I want you to know

how proud I was to be with you

last night.

Oh, oh.

Amanda, about not going to the concert last

night, I'd like to think that you and

I have the kind of relationship where you

won't torture me over this.

Think what you want.

Come on, Amanda, wait up.

Amanda.

Wow, Becker.

Amanda was totally hitting on you.

Bob, I think you're just reacting to the

fact that someone actually had a good time

with Becker.

Yeah.

Oh, you know, I screw you, Reg.

Come on, Becker.

She couldn't keep her hands off you.

You're crazy.

Oh, really?

She said you were the man of the

hour.

She said that she was proud to be

with you.

And how about the fact that she conveniently

left your souvenirs at her place?

She said she forgot them.

Women don't forget anything.

She wants you to come up there, Becker.

So what?

You know, they live together.

Jake will be there.

Ten to one, Jake won't be there.

My guess is she'll send him away so

you two can be alone.

Oh, please.

She's not gonna send him away.

Then she'll try to get you drunk and

have her way with you.

Oh, this is just getting silly.

Look, Jake and Amanda are a couple.

Think about it, Becker.

She hooked up with the newsstand guy after

one day.

You're a doctor.

She's obviously looking to trade up.

Where do you get these things?

I see movies.

I read tabloids.

You might say I have a pornographic memory.

Any messages, Linda?

On the break here.

Actually, a couple of calls did come in.

Oh.

Oh, look at that.

Times, numbers, and names.

That's so much more helpful than the fat

guy call.

Yeah.

Nice job, Judy.

Nice job, Judy.

So, how are you coming along?

Uh, fine.

I finished the first two quarters, and now

I'm working on the third.

Oh, well, don't go too fast now.

We want to hold on to you as

long as we can.

You know, Margaret, I notice you going out

of your way to pat Judy on the

back, but how about a little credit for

me?

After all, if I had to even the

slightest idea how to do Judy's job, you'd

have never even met her.

So, I think the words you're looking for

are thank you.

Oh, those aren't the words I'm looking for.

Oh, hi, John.

Come in.

Hi.

I'm just here to pick up my concert

stuff.

Hey, Jake.

Oh, Jake's not here.

He's not?

No, I asked him to go pick something

up for me.

So...

So, you sent him away?

It's just the two of us?

Yeah.

Um, I was about to have a glass

of wine.

You want some?

Wine?

Um...

I, you know, I probably shouldn't.

Let me just get my stuff and I'll

go.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

What's the rush?

I mean, with all the excitement last night,

we hardly got a chance to talk.

Come on, don't make me drink alone.

I'll go get you a glass.

You know, everyone at work could not stop

talking about how great you were last night.

The way you just rushed up on stage

and saved that man's life.

It was amazing.

It was like something out of a movie.

Well, I'm...

I'm a doctor, and the guy was in

trouble.

That's what I do.

Is Jake...

Jake's coming back pretty soon?

Oh, no.

He had to go into the city so

he's gonna be gone for hours.

Hey, John, why don't you, uh, why don't

you sit down?

Not there, silly.

Sit here, next to me.

Okay.

Are-are you all right?

You...

You look so uncomfortable.

That's how I always look.

Well, um, d-do you wanna take your

coat off?

No, I-I don't think that'd be wise.

Okay.

Well, here's to a great night last night.

Oh.

Mm.

You know, I'm so glad that we finally

got a chance to spend some time together

because I-I really feel like I've gotten

to know you better.

And it's nice.

Okay, all right, Amanda, this is just wrong.

What are you talking about?

I...

I know you're attracted to me.

Attracted to you?

Me?

Ew!

So...

So you're not?

No.

Oh.

Oh, well, that's great.

I mean...

Can you imagine how uncomfortable that would be?

Yeah.

Really?

Well, I'll just go get your stuff.

All right, that's great, great, great.

Ew.

Hey, Jack.

Hey, John.

I'm sorry I missed you last night.

Oh, what's up?

Amanda told you I was there, huh?

Did she tell you anything else?

Oh, no.

Just said that you came by and got

your concert stuff.

Oh, you're fine with that, huh?

Yeah, frankly, I'm glad it's out the house.

Hey, I'll see you later.

I got to go to the bank.

Yeah.

So, Bob was right on the money.

What?

You and Amanda were alone.

Shit.

Tell me everything.

There's nothing to tell.

I was only there five minutes.

Five minutes?

Oh, you stuck around after, huh?

Um, nothing happened, all right?

Amanda was not the least bit interested in

me.

Are you sure?

Oh, yeah, I'm sure.

I asked her, and she was disgusted and

repulsed.

They always are at first.

Doesn't mean a thing.

Trust me, my friend.

I think you got a live one.

Hi.

Hey.

Do me a favor, will you?

Use the word ew in a sentence.

You mean like, ew, I just stepped in

something disgusting?

Like that?

Yeah, yeah, like that.

Why?

Well, Bob told me that Amanda was interested

in me, so I...

Listen to Bob?

That was dumb.

You know, I just wanted to find out

if he was wrong, so I, so I

asked her.

Know what she said?

Ew.

Oh.

Yeah, yeah.

And she made that exact same face, too.

Well, it's no big deal, Becker.

I'm sure it's not the first time you've

ever gotten that reaction.

Yes, as a matter of fact, it was.

Well, why do you care what Amanda thinks

anyway?

It's not about Amanda.

It's what she represents.

I mean, did something happen to me when

I wasn't looking?

Did I, did I cross some sort of

line, you know, where a woman like that

could no longer be attracted to me?

Did I officially turn into ew?

These things are never official.

You're making quite a splash around here.

Judy.

Thanks.

Too bad it's just a temp job.

Yeah, but Margaret keeps making comments about wishing

I could stay.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Well, Margaret says a lot of things.

She just doesn't remember all of them.

I don't understand.

She drinks, Judy.

She's drunk pretty much all day long.

I've never seen her drunk.

You've never seen her sober.

Actually, between Margaret's drinking and Dr. Feel getting

there...

What do you mean?

Let's just say Dr. Becker likes to play

doctor.

Oh, I just can't believe that.

Linda, keep an eye on things.

I need to run down the street and

pick up my cleaning.

No problem.

Every day about this time, she needs to

pick up her cleaning.

Dr. Becker, I'm glad you're back.

Why?

What'd you do?

Nothing.

I'm just happy to see you.

Oh.

Yeah, let me, uh...

Let me ask you something, Linda, and don't

get the wrong idea here, but do you...

Do you think I'm attractive?

You mean as a man?

Yes, Linda, as a man.

Gee, I can't answer that.

I know you too well.

Oh, hey.

Probably right.

Dr. Becker, wait.

You know what you should do?

You should ask someone who doesn't know you

at all.

Someone who'd be more objective.

Someone like...

Judy.

That's a very good idea.

Thank you, Linda.

Sure.

Oh, Margaret, I'm glad you're back.

Why?

What'd you do?

Nothing.

I was out earlier and I saw the

cutest shoes, so I bought a pair for

me and some for you, too.

Oh, Linda, that's so sweet.

But you know I have trouble walking in

a heel this high.

I know, but these are the most comfortable

shoes I've ever had on.

I think you'll like them.

Well, can't hurt to try them on.

That's all I ask.

Oh, Judy, I'm glad you're back.

Dr. Becker wants to see you.

Do you have any idea what he wants?

Yeah, I'm afraid I do.

Linda said you wanted to see me?

Oh, yeah.

Um, yeah, come on in, Judy.

Shut the door.

Come in.

Yes?

Sit, please.

Judy, uh, I couldn't help but notice you

are a very attractive young woman.

Thank you.

Let me ask you something.

Do you think I'm attractive?

I don't think that has anything to do

with my job.

No, no, no, of course it doesn't.

This is just personal between us.

Look, um, you know, if you were to

pass me on the street, would you think,

hey, I'd like to date him?

Dr. Becker, you're my boss.

Well, just forget about that for a second.

I'm a man, you're a woman.

Come on.

You know, what would you think?

Dr. Becker, I don't know how to answer

that.

Well, I'd ask Linda, but we've already been

through all of this.

Tell me, what would you say?

I can't.

Ooh, I don't know, maybe I'll...

I feel like maybe I should hold onto

something.

This is too much for me.

I'm sorry, I can't work here.

What's wrong with her?

She drinks, Margaret.

Hey, ladies.

Lose something?

Not that much, no.

You still hung up about that Amanda thing?

No.

No.

But it happened to me again.

Some woman at the office had a similar

reaction except she didn't say, ew, she just

screamed and ran.

You hit on a patient?

Oh, of course not.

Temp.

And then just a minute ago, two women

walked by me like I was completely invisible.

Come on, Becker, you can't expect younger women

to be attracted to you the way they

once were.

Probably.

Why not?

It's just the way it is.

Why can't men accept that?

Because it's not fair, that's why.

It's a part of life, Becker.

People move on, they get older.

Even pro golfers have to move on to

the senior tour.

Great.

Give me some plaid pants and a jaunty

little cap and I'll be on my way.

You gonna be okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

It's not like I can do anything about

it.

What did you mean when you said, ew?

What are you talking about?

No, no, no, when I thought you were,

you know, attracted maybe to me, you said,

ew.

I want to know what you meant.

Oh, yeah, that.

Well, it totally came out the wrong way

because I didn't mean it as an insult.

Well, it wasn't a compliment.

Was it?

No, what I meant was that Jake is

your best friend and he's my boyfriend and

for me to be interested in his best

friend would be ew.

Oh!

Ew!

Exactly.

Well, so this had nothing to do with

me, personally.

Of course not.

John, you're a very attractive man.

Oh, you don't have to say that.

Do you really think so?

Yeah, I do.

Absolutely.

Hi, Amanda.

Hi, baby.

Hey, Jake.

Oh, John.

Hey, should I be worried that I'm not

home and you're here alone with another man?

Who, John?

Yuck.

What are you thinking, buddy?

Hey, I'll see you guys later.

You're cracking me up.

Yuck.
