Original subtitles

Easy with that clock boys.

It shouldn't take long to get you settled in.

- Let me use your pen will ya Victor? - Keep it.

- It's got our name, number stamped on the side. - Nice.

'Bovine and Sons' It's good advertising.

Me and dad we don't let our boys get stoned. They do good work.

It says so right here.

Oh ya.

Must be deja vu.

How's that?

My dad said he moved you outta here a month or so ago.

Huh.

I've only done this once before.

The guy trade houses with his ex-wife.

Oh ya?

Well the escrow fell through.

Non surprisiing.

Dad said we are on the cusp of a complete monetary disaster.

The problems with the banks and the corporations

is they got debts up the whazu.

No way they are ever gonna pay it off.

If you think 29 was a mess, says dad

wait till you see the sidewalks on Wall St in two years tops.

Hey! [Whistles]

Dad says to me when I was a kid

Victor, he says

always keep track of on item.

Last thing packed. First out.

People gotta have their coffee.

Sort of a Bovine and Sons trademark.

Yeah, well, maybe I better have a cup.

Jet lag is catching up with me.

Oh, plane travel plays hell with the circadian rhythm, but you can look at it this way.

You're actually younger now than if you'd have stayed in Boston the whole time.

How do you figure?

Time-space continuum.

An atomic clock up on a plane moves slower than the same clock down here on the wall.

Time and space bend in the presence of a mass.

That's good to know.

Thank you.

We're only talking micromilliseconds, but hell, every micromillisecond counts.

Like that says, right?

Dad told me about this.

I don't know why we have a cleaning lady.

Grace has enough to do.

And so little time between game shows to do it.

Ellen, that's my grandmother's coin silver, not a car muffler.

I know that.

Well, if you use that much muscle, you'll wear away the pattern.

Look here.

Look.

Easy.

Easy.

Why the hell are we putting ourselves out in the first place?

Our only son and his bride are in town for a few hours.

I'm not going to drag them off to some noisy restaurant.

A few hours?

I thought they were going to stay the weekend.

Well, Stephen called this morning.

They're driving on to Rochester after dinner.

Oh, well, that really tears it.

I mean, first they elope and cheat you out of the enjoyment of planning the ceremony,

and then you're finally going to meet the bride, and it's eat and run.

Oh, come on now, Mark.

She sounds very normal on the telephone.

The girl doesn't even think enough of this family to use the Craig name.

Well, Mark, lots of women keep their maiden names these days.

Besides, I'm sure she's very proud of her background.

What background?

Her parents live in a trailer park.

Do you realize that we're going to wind up sharing the Christmas goose with people who eat in their BVDs?

It doesn't matter where her parents live.

Yeah, well, it's all relative.

I mean, if the girl had any kind of an upbringing, she wouldn't be dumb enough to get pregnant.

We were almost caught ourselves a few times.

It was different then.

A man had to worry about contraception.

Now, it's a woman's responsibility.

Come on, give Yvonne a break.

I remember how nerve-wracking it was when I had to meet your parents.

Okay, I gotta go to work.

Oh, listen, make sure you get all the Polish out of the monogram.

Use a toothpick.

You watch.

She'll be all over me like cheap perfume.

Currying my favor and fingering my wallet.

Hey, Dr. Chandler.

You're blowing out of here a little early, aren't you, Luther?

Oh, one of the requirements for paramedic training is internship on an ambulance.

I like this day as my first day.

Never could ride an ambulance.

No guts, huh?

I get car sick.

Well, it's great.

I mean, the call comes over the radio, you turn on the siren, your glands begin to sweat.

That's exciting.

Or so they tell me.

You're going to see some pretty grisly stuff out there.

Nothing worse than what I see in the fifth floor men's room.

Seven minutes.

A million people gripped by starvation, malaria, dysentery, measles, jaundice.

How did you survive the hopelessness?

Well, that's the kicker, Daniel.

Because in spite of all that tragedy, there was joy.

Where one would expect to see bitterness and anger, there was dancing.

And the smiling faces on these kids who didn't even know if there was going to be enough food for all of them.

I apologize for the condition of your office.

The camp could accommodate 10,000, Daniel.

We never had less than 15.

Food's getting through, though.

And the disease is pretty well under control.

Death toll's gone from about 100 a day to less than half a dozen.

That's encouraging.

Yeah, it is.

Oh, need a tube in there.

At the food distribution centers, there are sacks of grain marked in English, medical supplies in Russian and Arabic.

It's like the whole world pulled together to work a miracle.

These are for you.

I'm making some changes in the hospital's teaching curriculum.

These are air sickness bags.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

The plane was grounded in Addis Ababa for two and a half hours.

It's the first chance I had to put pen to paper.

There's some pretty radical stuff here.

These changes will have to be gone into by the board, of course.

I've also written out proposals for an outpatient clinic, the start of a

community food program, and fundraising for African relief.

I'll have these bags transcribed later today.

Now, Daniel, I don't want this all bogged down with the board.

Now, I know if you want to, you can push them through.

I'll do my best.

But you haven't told me yet why you'd give it back.

Get on those right away, would you?

Yes, of course.

Three nights ago, Mr. Rostovitch had a temporary pacemaker placed for severe sinus bradycardia during acute MI.

Has he remained in normal sinus rhythm?

His heart rate's steady, 75 to 90.

Fine, we'll remove the pacemaker.

Okay.

Steven.

Hi, Dad.

We just thought we'd surprise you here.

I'd like you to meet my wife, Yvonne.

Yvonne, Yvonne Galecki, this is my father.

Dr. Craig.

Mark.

Hello.

Dr. Wade, this is my son, Stephen, and his new, uh...

I'm glad to meet you again.

Hello.

Hello.

I'll meet you in Mr. Rostovitch's room.

Stay right here.

We're not through with his history.

You're nothing like I imagined.

Oh.

Well.

Well, I guess I was expecting someone more imposing.

The side of my personality that gets the most press in my house.

I just wanted Yvonne to get a chance to see where you worked.

I wish you'd called.

Nothing I hate more than people dropping by my office unannounced.

I'm in the middle of a great idea and they want to shoot the breeze.

Listen, Dad, I'm sorry we can't stay in Boston longer.

I understand.

You have other priorities.

Didn't Stephen tell you?

He's presenting a paper up at RIT.

Really?

What's the subject?

What are you hanging around for?

You told me to wait.

Right.

Look, I'd like to stand here and chat, but I'm very busy.

I'll see you at home.

Walk us to the elevator?

Yeah, right.

So, am I anything like the girl Stephen used to bring home?

You're the first one who's pregnant.

Bye, Dad.

Pleasure meeting you.

We'll see you later, Dr. Craig.

Oh!

Check the med box?

I just did.

And?

I just said I'd check.

Don't you think I'd tell you if there was a problem?

I'm Luther Hawkins.

I'm the trainee.

I'm supposed to ride with you today.

Ambulance 12, right?

Yeah, Luther.

Doug Zajic.

I'm going to be evaluating you.

This is Kate Larson.

She spends most of her time evaluating me.

What about the defit batteries?

They're fine, but we'd better get to a gas pump.

We're banging the pit.

If you have any questions, ask.

Just don't get in the way.

How about the E.T.

tubes and the oxygen?

You couldn't check?

Hey, you know, Kate, I did not ask to have you as a partner, all right?

Cry me a river.

E.T.

And O2 are set.

Ambulance 12, day watch, in service.

Roger, Ambulance 12.

You know, it amazes me that you can be so good in this job and so lousy in the kitchen.

This from a guy who tried to dry his shorts in the microwave?

Luther, you feel like getting in, or you want to run alongside?

Oh.

Yo, Frank.

So what's the story, Kate?

The guard said he never moved him.

Good, okay.

Let's get some traction on him.

Pull up and back.

A little bit more.

All right, that's enough.

I think I can feel my toes.

They hurt?

Yeah.

Good.

A little pain's good.

It means everything's probably all right.

We're just doing this as a precaution.

You get a name?

Kevin Carney.

So, Kevin, what were you doing climbing up there?

A banner.

I wanted a championship banner.

Yeah, well, why not?

The Celtics got plenty to spare, right?

No Bruins.

A Bruins fan?

Guys, we got a hockey bum here.

I say we leave him.

Okay by me.

Seriously, Kevin, that was a pretty stupid move.

You know, you're lucky the guard found you.

He said you never would have made it out of here.

The place is locked up tight.

All right, Kevin, we're gonna log roll you onto this, uh, backboard.

Now, I don't want you to move.

Don't even think about it.

You let us do the work, all right?

Nice and easy.

Ready?

One, two, three.

Okay.

How'd you get in here, Kevin?

I hit out after the game.

I spent the night in the bathroom.

You spent the night in the toilet?

In this place?

Kevin, that's disgusting.

15,000 people whizzed in your bedroom.

Some even hit the porcelain.

Kevin, next time, just get a sweatshirt like everybody else.

Koozie, inbounds to Russell.

Russell, mid-court, over the bird.

He spots Hawkins on the left side.

He throws to Hawkins.

There's five seconds left.

Hawkins one-bounds, double pumps, double pumps, four three-pointer hits.

No good.

Heartbreak, Luther.

Listen, I hate to interrupt you.

But, you know, Kevin, I think you'd like to get to the hospital.

Toot.

As noted in similar studies, any electromagnetic source might interfere with 15-year-old cardiac pacemakers.

Consequently, I warn Mr. Magliocca that if he insists on using an electric razor,

some morning he may get more than just a close shave.

Dad, we've got to talk.

Where's Miss Galecki?

You didn't even try to be nice to Yvonne.

Whatever happened to hugs or congratulations?

You were standing in the hallway for crying out loud.

Why did you want a ticker tape parade?

I've learned not to expect too much from you, but at least I thought I could count on you to be civil.

Oh, I let you down, huh?

Is that it?

Mayor Culper, I'm to blame you married Yvonne.

No, I love Yvonne.

I guess it's also my fault that you flunked out of Deerfield freshman year, that you got hooked on drugs.

Now, wait a minute.

We're talking about my wife here and the fact that she's not good enough for you.

Or you.

Dr. Craig, he's...

Steven!

How you doing, bud?

Good to see you.

How's it going?

I understand you're going to be a father.

Rah, rah.

Got a good idea for some names.

Ehrlich, did you come in here to rub me the wrong way?

No, sir.

Sorry to interrupt.

Okay.

Well, I diagnosed Mr. Rostovic's bradycardia.

I put in Mr. Rostovic's pacemaker.

Why did you take me off Mr. Rostovic's case?

He asked me to.

Now get out of here.

I'm gone, sir.

Bye.

It's reassuring to see you still treat everyone with contempt.

And you still always do.

You do exactly what you want.

Ruining your chances for an internship here at St. Eligius, eloping, blowing through for dinner.

Oh, right.

Can't pass up a free meal.

There's no such thing as a free meal.

You know something?

You really haven't changed much since you bought that 65 T-Bird.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, I was eight.

And you gave away Sarsaparilla because it wasn't housebroken.

And I wanted to get back at you.

And the only thing I knew would work was by biting the dashboard of your new car.

And when you saw the teeth marks, you grounded me for a week.

I never knew why you did that.

How'd you get Dr. Auschlander to come up with the funds for the employee program?

All he's been doing is slashing budgets.

I asked him.

Then I cajoled him.

Then I got down on my knees and begged.

Med school should provide classes in fundraising and in-house politics.

That's about all I learned.

What'd you do?

Carrollton.

Ah, yes, the diploma factory.

Did you pass your remedial?

Not yet.

Well, I went to Ole Miss, bottom third of my class.

Want to know why?

Why?

Because part of every answer on a multiple choice seemed worth investigating.

I've got to consider the options.

A young couple's coming in today for artificial insemination.

The Valeries, Ken and Terry.

Sperm count looks normal.

320 million per cc.

Morphology, motility are normal.

Well, the problem's with Terry.

She's ovulating normally, but the cervical mucus is quite acidic.

So it's hostile to the sperm.

Let's just say they're not on speaking terms.

Their other responsibility will be to screen donors for the sperm bank.

Distribute those questionnaires to residents, med students, anyone who might be interested in participating.

What's the matter?

Well, I'm...

It's not quite like asking your friends.

It's to give to the blood drive.

You're embarrassed.

Yeah.

Look at it this way.

They'll be getting paid for something they can do in their spare time.

If you're embarrassed, imagine how the patients must feel having to come to the hospital to conceive.

They're stripped of their intimacy.

It's up to us to make high-tech sex personal.

As if we weren't there.

So, you gonna volunteer?

Yeah, I'll think about it.

I know, it's a lousy job, but somebody has to do it.

We'll close the file.

Yes, sir.

Now, finally, I know you all have lives outside this hospital.

Some of us.

So, I don't expect that what I'm gonna say is gonna go over very well with you.

Beginning next month, as a required part of your residency,

you'll be contributing ten hours a month to community services.

Oh, no, no, no, wait, wait.

Whether it be the Boston Free Clinic or the Family Health Services.

No, I can't.

Quiet down, please.

Dr. Westphall, will this time be exclusive of our daily duties?

Well, I don't think that 10 hours a month is going to tax your social calendar too seriously, Dr.

Fiscus.

How else would you spend the time?

In a bar?

In front of the television?

I don't happen to think those are very worthwhile pursuits.

With all due respect, sir, I think you're asking the wrong people to give up their time.

I started doing volunteer work in the ghetto.

I tried getting a couple of attendings to help me.

That's a laugh.

Finally had to give it up.

I'm at the health club, 6 A.M., three days a week, trying to squeeze in a

handball game just to give the cardiovascular a shove.

Besides, with all the federal cuts and local politics, just when you start to

work up enthusiasm, the program disappears.

I don't think it's physically possible for me to do any more than I'm already doing.

As it is now, I don't see my husband at all.

Sir, what if, I mean, I was just wondering, if we didn't get in the required hours by the end of each month?

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a teaching hospital.

You are here to learn by helping others.

Now, too many of you are looking for the easy way to get through an inter private practice.

Now, if that's what you want... I suggest you go somewhere else.

And that's all for today.

Gave Westphall his job back anyway.

Speed's the key.

You load your pockets before you get to a victim.

IVs, tourniquets, 4x4s, all the basics.

You rip clothes so you don't even bother cutting.

And you use a BP cuff until you can put on a pressure dressing and set the scope out

of the sun at the get-go so you don't have to adjust it later when you need it.

The only thing I gotta remember at the hospital is not to be a victim.

You have to mix bleach with ammonia.

Takes time.

Forget whatever you learned from him and ask a pro instead.

Oh, listen to this.

One citation.

The girls were walking hand booked.

What is this, catch-up?

No, you know I hate that.

Scrape it off.

Look, maybe the new boyfriend likes catch-up on his kielbasa, but not us guys on the varsity squad, okay?

Oh, let's not talk about romance.

You're the one slumming with the bubble head.

So what?

We're not entering a spelling bee.

Hope you don't mind my ass, dude.

Will you two have a relationship or something?

Over.

Got the seven-year itch after ten months.

No, no, no.

Bebe was only a friend.

I took her out for coffee once.

Cocktails.

Cappuccino.

Whatever.

Doug expected me to hang around while he had his little fling on the side.

You know when I knew that our relationship was doomed?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Ambulance 12 responding.

Boating accident.

Charles River.

Support.

Around north of Longfellow Bridge.

When'd you know?

When I found Bebe in our shower.

The hot water was out in her building.

So you jumped in with her?

I never said put in that shower.

Dog, I watched you lather her loofah.

Anyone interested?

Pass.

I don't like the idea of my flesh and blood wandering around without me knowing.

Talk about anonymous sex.

One of my favorite subjects.

It's something I'm proud to say I know quite a bit about.

Hi, guys.

Hey, Bob.

Hey, Bob.

I heard you just bought a house in Cape COD.

Just closed, Fiscus.

And no, you can't use it.

Thank you.

Jack's trying to get us to make a deposit in the sperm bank.

Do they have female tellers there?

You gonna ask everyone?

Including Auschlander?

Pretty soon, scientists will be breaking down genetic codes by splicing, transferring, and recombining DNA.

And we'll be able to decide what genes to pass on.

Sounds like Aryan selection all over again.

What's wrong with blonde hair and blue eyes?

He said Aryan, not albino.

Suppose genetic selection.

Genetic selection could be used to filter out predispositions towards cancer,

towards heart disease, diabetes.

Cut to the bottom line, Boomer.

What would they pay us for putting ourselves out?

Fifty bucks.

I'm tall, highly intelligent, and a doctor.

One twenty-five, minimum.

Victor, if you're the best a species can produce, it's time to chlorinate the gene pool.

Seventy-five dollars is my final offer.

Take it or leave it.

Has anyone in your family ever suffered from anemia, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy?

For someone who may be stockpiling the future of the human race, these are pretty lame criteria.

You know, medical history is fine.

But what about the larger question?

Favorite Stones album?

All right, joke around.

Genetic engineering can make all our jobs a lot easier by helping create healthier people.

Gentlemen, to Westphall.

Does this count as community service?

Of course, in your case, Elliot, it'll take you the 10 hours to make your contribution.

Very funny.

What's that?

My weekly malaria suppressant.

Oh, for God's sake, Donald.

Go get a physical.

I mean, who knows what you picked up out there in the bush?

Africa.

You know, it's beyond me how a situation like that could get so out of hand.

But then, maybe it's nature's way.

That's very, uh, Malthusian of you, Mark.

Well, you're not gonna sit there and tell me that it's not a legitimate concern.

Speaking of which, Stephen arrived this morning.

Yvonne.

Well, it must be great to have your family all together.

Ellen, Stephen, now Yvonne.

Pretty soon you'll have a grandchild.

That's terrific.

Yeah, it's fantastic.

Ellen is thrilled.

But to be truthful with you, I'm very skeptical.

I mean, family's...

You know, I met a man over there, Joseph.

Now, he had walked from Eritrea to the camp, trying to escape the drought and the Civil War.

And he was carrying his little daughter, Miriam.

She was a starving two-year-old.

And in the hospital tent, we tried to force some rehydration paste into her.

But her throat was so shriveled.

That we couldn't get the paste down.

So we finally had to put an NG tube into her stomach, which was swollen, of course.

And I really didn't think she was going to make it.

But Joseph prayed.

And he slept there beside her.

And he wiped the dust off that little face.

Constantly brushing the flies away from her.

And he sang softly to her.

She made it.

When you finally save a life, Mark.

Hmm.

At one point, Joseph asked me if I had any children.

And when I told him yes, he looked up at me, surprised and disappointed.

He said, well, how could you leave them?

No man should knowingly leave his children.

Oh, for crying out loud, Donald.

What did you do out there in your spare time?

Sit on top of a mountain and learn the secrets of life?

All I wanted was to have lunch with a friend I haven't seen for a while.

Instead, I'm having my moral fiber cleaned and pressed.

I'll box and ship whatever you and Stephen want.

Definitely want the swimming trophies.

I'll send Aunt Mill's China and a set of my mother's linen.

Oh, that'll be great, Ellen.

Thanks.

High point all around, 16 and under.

Oh, that was an AAU meet in New Haven.

I remember driving Stephen down there in the rain.

You and Dr. Craig?

No, Mark never went to the swim meets.

He hated the noise and the slippery floors.

How is Stephen, Yvonne?

To tell you the truth, we don't get to see very much of each other.

He's overworked at the hospital, and I'm bogged down doing research.

I mean the drugs.

Don't worry.

I've kept him off them.

Good.

Well, what was Stephen like as a kid?

Well, he could always make me laugh.

He could brood, too, for days at a time.

Have he and Dr. Craig always fought?

Yes.

I've spent a lifetime refereeing those two.

I'll try to be some help.

Well, just remember one thing.

The father always holds the upper hand.

So the sons push whatever buttons they can to try to drive the old man nuts.

Don't believe a word my mother says.

You two don't have to answer this, but why did you elope?

It was easier.

In hindsight, I'm sorry both sets of parents weren't at the wedding.

I think I'll get up.

Ellen, I'll go down and set the table.

You'll get no argument from me.

You know, Mom, the truth of it is that we eloped because I was scared.

I mean, I've got to be a husband, I'm going to be a father, and I'm trying to keep up in residency.

You'll do it.

You know, you've grown in every way, except in dealing with your father.

Got it under control.

What meet's this from?

Oh, yeah, I remember this one.

You got in a big argument with Buck Smith's dad, didn't you?

That guy was a jerk.

He was cheering against my son.

Temperature's up, 99.6.

That means I'm ovulating.

Yep, today's the day.

Here you go.

Take your best shot.

Ugh, I hated doing this last time for the sperm count.

Now, what I've heard is not all that bad, is it?

When Kang gets back, send a seaman to the lab Add it to the buffer solution and have

it spun down Isn't anyone going to wish me luck?

If I could conceive normally, Ken wouldn't have to go through all this Don't beat

yourself up Conception is still a tango So much pressure My mom, my mother-in-law,

our friends Everybody keeps bugging me about when I'm going to turn out a family When you getting married?

When you going to have kids?

When you going to retire?

When you going to die?

It's the old pop quiz People never let up Are you married?

Veteran of the divorce wars Gave in to the social pressure myself Married too young to the wrong guy Bitter?

Disappointed I know it sounds stupid, but I can't shake the idea that having

babies is my role At 33, I feel the need more than ever You can't tell time by your

biological clock Maybe not, but it keeps on ticking I got my first period When I

was 13 You're a woman now, said my mom Then she talked to me about not getting

pregnant I spent the next two decades worrying about it Started taking the pill

at 17 Waited nervously for the red circles in the calendar Prayed Now when I really

want to get pregnant I find out that I don't work right You're still a woman And

a wife Regardless of whether you have children Even if our mother Don't agree.

Harlan, OR, 2 Dr. Daniel Donald Did you talk to the board?

Well, you just handed me the proposals this morning You know the board doesn't

meet for the first Tuesday of the month Call a special session It's not possible.

I'll give you that crap Donald I'm sorry, but we have to move on these programs

immediately, Daniel, I promise You've been back at work one full day In that time,

I've had nothing but complaints From the residents, maintenance, and the dieticians.

That's too bad This hospital could use some shaking All I'm asking you to do is

slow down Can't change the system overnight Besides, if you want to move

these programs beyond the initial split of enthusiasm Try not to insult the integrity

of those with whom you work You want to know why I came back?

There was a nurse over there, from Sweden Karen Vorsaker And she'd been at the

refugee camp for six months She knew it all She knew how to deal with the

logistics and the paperwork And the red tape of the socialist government And she

even managed to coordinate the egos of the various relief agencies And if necessary,

she could fix the engine on a truck Which made her more valuable than any doctor And

I was overwhelmed, Daniel The fact is I couldn't deal with the situation Just

practicing medicine wasn't enough And Karen told me She said it, and she was

right She said, go back to Boston, you can do more for people there I was

born in Boston I know this place, I know the system And I'll tell you

something Nothing in this world is going to stop me from helping the people here who are hungry and homeless.

3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2 Well, well, well, where were you guys?

Stuffing along, fella, traffic's a bear, what do you got?

A powerboat ran these guys down in a shell This guy's in a sisterly, this guy's

shocky Head trauma Possible broken radius He's yours to roll Tommy, I'm sending you with these guys, okay?

Get up carefully How's this guy doing?

Witness, should he take the blow?

Pull him in the chest Stop compression Nothing Okay, let's get him out of here.

Let's go Let's go.

Let's go Let's go Let's go Let's go Let's go.

What is that?

Calcium chloride, 10% Come on, breathe Stop compressions Zip Come on,

use the paddles Gotta have a rhythm first We can bring him back Not this time Using

the water too long, the chest injury's too bad This guy's gone for good Switch Well,

then why are we trying to save him?

State law says that we can't stop life support systems once we start The doctor

has to pronounce him dead at the hospital I've been around dying people and cleaned

up after And even brought bodies down to the morgue But I never had my hands on

someone when they died You'll get used to it I don't think so.

You got my message, then?

I'd like you to reconsider taking Tommy out of family care I've given him a lot of

thoughts, then He's only been with us six months He's just starting to socialize

with the others I made up my mind I can't leave Tommy here with you simply because

it'll make my life easier Tommy's your cross to bear?

He's my son You shouldn't feel guilty about wanting to have a life of your own.

It's almost impossible for a single working parent to take care of an autistic

adolescent Yeah, well I'm sure it's hell gonna try again.

Donald, what's gonna be different this time?

Tommy hasn't changed I have.

No, no, no, stop, stop, stop Shh, it's all right, it's all right,

it's all right, it's all right Shh, shh, it's okay, it's okay.

What are you doing?

Oh, Ellen wanted four water glasses You shouldn't be climbing Come on,

come on My doctor just says to be careful Who is he?

I want to check him out Her?

Dr. Blossomfelder?

Steven says she's the top obstetrician at Ohio State.

Where's Ellen?

Upstairs with Steven, packing some mementos.

Ellen tells me that you and Steven met at OSU, but that you weren't in medicine.

Oh, I was getting my graduate degree.

Master's, hmm?

Doctorate, history, U.S.

What can you do with that?

Not yet, but I have a book on Roosevelt coming out.

Later this year.

Another apologist for the New Deal, hmm?

Uh, no, Teddy Roosevelt in Trust Busting.

Stephen tells me you're a fan of T.R.

Always liked his style.

Me too.

He was focused, no nonsense, a man capable of carving out the Panama Canal,

charging up San Juan Hill, winning the Nobel Peace Prize all before 50.

Uh, the knife was on the inside, and the edge pointed in.

And then the dessert spooned on top, okay?

This is lovely silver.

We're not passing them on.

Yet.

Well, you don't have to.

We can't afford to insure it.

Yet.

What's the matter?

The baby's kicking.

Here.

Your grandchild's quite an athlete.

Here, sit down.

Thank you.

Uh, Stephen's convinced it's a boy, the way I'm carrying.

What do you think?

It's a girl.

I talk to her all the time.

Her name's Barbara.

That's my mother's mother's name.

I did my research.

There's also a Barbara on my side of the family.

I know this isn't easy for you.

It isn't easy for me, either.

If there's one thing I've learned from T .R., it's resilience in the rigid environment.

Face of adversity.

I love being the wife of your son and the mother of your grandchild, Dr. Craig.

Mark.

For now, let's stick with Dr. Craig.

Do you mind if I help?

Oh, please.

What do we got, sir?

The man in the gray suit, the lady over there in the beige shirt.

This one here.

Oh, the lady in the beige shirt over here.

Excuse me.

Go help Kate.

I'm covered here.

My name's Kate.

What's your name?

Laura.

Hi, Laura.

How are you feeling?

What do you need?

Nothing right now.

You okay, honey?

How are you feeling?

Oh, you're fine.

You look pretty.

Are you okay?

Huh?

Look, I'm going to lie you down.

Everything is going to be all right.

Just lie still.

Just take it easy, okay?

I don't feel anything with the ribs.

I mean, nothing obvious.

Nothing that's not going to wait.

You better take a look at that girl over there.

Mine's okay for now.

Contusion's a little shaken up.

I've got to stabilize.

That guy is bleeding.

Get dug.

Not now.

I need more compresses and an air splint, please.

I'll be right with you, Kate.

And then she's pale and disoriented.

Her skin is clammy and her pulse is weak and rapid.

All right, he's stable, but keep an eye on him.

Over on the bench.

Hi.

What's up?

What's the problem?

I don't know.

You don't know?

What's your name?

Susan.

Susan, where is it hurting you?

My stomach.

Your stomach?

Here?

Here?

Susan?

All right.

Get the gurney.

This girl goes first.

Bon appetit.

Wait a minute, Ellen.

I didn't get an opportunity to make a toast at Stephen and Yvonne's wedding.

In the Depression, during dinner, my mother would...

close the curtains so that the poor and hungry wouldn't feel worse at our good fortune.

We hid our way of life to guard and protect it.

There comes a time, however, when those curtains must be opened and strangers let

in and loved like one of us because, for whatever reason, they are one of us.

Yvonne, welcome.

Here, here.

I'm not finished, Ellen.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Don't worry about it.

It's only Baccarat.

There are many generations represented at this table.

Relatives, not present, or departed, but with us still.

In my grandmother's silver, in Ellen's mother's linen, candelabra from Samuel

Craig during the time of the Continental Congress.

A continuity of togetherness through many ages.

There's Ellen and myself, Stephen and Yvonne, and soon, the baby.

To us, then, now, and to come.

May we remain together in light and comfort.

I can cross ten units of that.

Let's get a crit, an amylase, and an extra red top.

Tenderness in the left upper quadrant.

She may have fractured her 10th and 11th ribs, abrasions.

I gave her a liter of saline on the way over.

BP's falling.

Pulse rapid and thready despite additional fluid.

Diminished breath sounds on left side.

Diminished bowel sounds.

Have an OR standing by.

Let's move her and try and locate the family.

What do you get?

Could be a ruptured spleen.

Lucky you didn't miss it.

That's a good call.

They'll do a peritoneal tap in surgery, and if it's an abdominal bleed, they can operate.

She should be okay.

Okay.

Do you want to restock here?

Sure.

Luther, old pal, do you mind if we score a couple bags of saline solution and some IV tubing?

No sweat.

Kate, the BP cuff's in here.

Sorry.

Paramedics are born scavengers.

It's in my blood.

I can't help myself.

So, I guess we're out of here.

Are you going to come along?

No, I'm going to get off here.

Thanks.

Okay.

Long day, huh?

Yeah.

Take care, huh?

See you tomorrow.

Okay.

Kate.

Yeah.

Um, if you guys hate each other so much, why don't you get a transfer?

Break up a good backfield?

Why don't you put this on the truck?

I'm going to hit the head.

Why do I have to do everything?

Kate, it's not like I'm asking you to donate a kidney.

I know you, Doug.

You go to the bathroom, next thing I know, you're parked next to the Twinkie machine hitting on some candy striper.

It's all coming back to me.

You know why I broke up with you?

Because you are incapable of a mature commitment.

No, because you are insanely suspicious.

Yeah, now it's all my fault.

Oh, and you said... I'm sarcastic, too.

I love sarcasm.

Do not flip me the bird!

Do not air our relationship out in front of everybody in this hostel!

Well, I'd better air it out somewhere, sweetheart, because it stinks!

Shut up!

Who told me to shut up?

Hey,

Luther, how'd it go today?

Okay, I guess.

Well, what happened?

You see any action?

No big deal.

You okay?

Oh, yeah, I'm fine.

Yeah, go back to sleep.

I'm so glad it all worked out.

I'm so glad it all worked out.

I'm going to run the catheter into the uterus and deposit the sperm past the cervical mucus.

All set?

I wanted to do something kind of special.

Flowers, candles, champagne.

This is the best I could come up with on short notice.

Motown always worked for me.

These guys were on Atlantic.

You want to dance?

Yeah.

Hello?

Yes?

Mark?

We'll unpack the rest of your stuff tomorrow, okay?

Missed you, son.

Daddy went very far away, do you remember?

Let's get you slippers.

Tommy Ho.

Let's get you slippers.
