Original subtitles

Oops.

Bad hands.

Sorry about that.

Victor, where have you been?

I hung up waiting for the bus.

Hey, babe.

Kalostone.

Kalostone.

There is my Victor.

Uncle Nikos.

Let's do that Greek thing.

Whoop-pa!

Whoop-pa!

Here is Grandma.

Hey, Grandma.

Ooh.

The tricks you can turn with the color black.

May we begin the rehearsal?

Yes.

First, the betrothal and exchange of rings.

Where is the best man?

A dog will be flying in today from the Bay Area.

Victor, I hope his bark is better than his bite.

Get it?

Following the betrothal, we proceed to the crux of the ceremony.

Crowning.

To be queen of the hop, I'll be the Duke of Earl.

General.

Through these crowns, the marriage is sealed and consummated.

I will say specific prayers and two readings will be offered.

Then, you will share the drinking of the common cup, signifying mutually shared

joys and sorrows, happiness and misfortunes.

This will be followed by the ceremonial walk and removal of the crowns.

Do not forget confeta.

Maybe we should just throw rice.

Victor.

I'm sorry.

That's it.

Where you two love-dove spend honeymoon, huh?

Sweet, at the Four Seasons.

Yeah, the pump room.

Victor, you finally make my Lucy an honest woman.

Well?

After tomorrow night, we'll hang the sheets over the balcony so all the

descendants of Sifnos will see the honor of the Papandrao family.

Oh, I've got to run.

I'm working the night shift.

Bye-bye.

I'll walk you out.

Take the tea.

Fewer surprises.

Okay.

Well, pretty soon we'll be man and wife.

Man and wife.

Oh, don't forget the honeymoon supplies.

How many C batteries does that baby handle?

Damn.

Who is this?

No, there's no Mrs. Craig living here, Budwood.

Look, buddy, I told you...

Who?

Oh, sorry.

No, no, I was waiting for your call.

The patient is ready to be examined tomorrow.

I'll meet you in the research lab.

Bye.

This is the last of it.

Why, it's a little crowded.

Where are the kids?

Right behind me.

Maybe not.

I gotta go move the car keys.

Uh, somewhere.

Oh, on the table.

Help your mom.

Mom, you have to stay in this dump.

This is not a dump, young lady.

And hopefully not very long.

Then why are you unpacking?

Because it makes me feel settled.

I can't wait to go back to the old apartment.

Bang!

Bang!

Stop it!

Both of you.

First I have to tell my friends I'm moving to Seattle, and then I'm back in Boston in some fleabag motel.

It's embarrassing.

Mom, can we go swimming?

Honey, it's too cold, and besides, the pool doesn't look clean.

I warned you about talking with strangers.

Bang!

Can we?

Ask Jack.

Ask me what?

Swimming.

This creep next door wanted to know where the action is.

Big deal.

Can we?

And then, Mom, I need a quarter.

Less candy, fewer cavities.

For magic fingers.

No.

Heat it here.

Come on, let's go check out the pool.

Yeah.

I missed you all.

It's great to be back together again.

Come on, Jack.

Family.

Great job.

Sorry you're back.

And neurosurgery.

How's the caseload?

Insurmountable.

You're going to need a replacement.

We're going to keep you here a while.

A little closer exam.

You know, for a hospital that barely survived the wreckers, but all the old stomping ground looks all spruced up.

They're spending money it would have taken us years to raise.

And the new administration?

Let's see on top, underneath, about as tight as your lumbar.

All sizzled, if no mistake, huh?

Yeah, last week we had to take an AIDS baby over to Bernheimer, you see?

And we only had the facilities.

Judge, we need the clinic here.

Still riding the white horse, huh?

Get you admitted.

Ehrlich says he doesn't want a bachelor party.

Well, after a lousy first marriage, who can blame him?

This is hopeless.

I look in the mirror, I see Carl Reiner.

My PA training has taught me there's more to life than a full head of hair.

Clean taco, for instance.

Excuse me?

Can I help you?

I'm here to check in for surgery.

Dr. Kim, I'm taking off some of this.

You have medical insurance?

Sure.

Well, then you've come to the right hospital.

The meeting's just around the corner.

I can't fit through the front door.

I'll page Dr. Kim.

Your name?

Barry House.

Case of the sprint, so fierce I had to replace my charcoal-filtered boxes.

Grab a chair.

Or a couch.

That's gross.

Nope.

Here's Murray Gross, kidney stones.

Mr. Gross?

Right here.

Excuse me.

What?

Ugh!

Are you OK?

I need a little help getting up.

Alright then.

On three.

One, two...

One, two...

Any ideas?

A four clip?

I love what they're doing in the lobby.

What's next, a casino?

Boy, this is great.

First you put in your card.

I don't know, I prefer check writing myself, hands on.

Then you punch in your secret code.

Come on, Elliot, I'm not looking.

And then, whammo, cash in return.

Now this is a machine.

Completing rounds.

Kiem again.

Auschlander still convalescing, Westphall's all bogged down, and Craig's

wrapped up in his artificial heart, figuratively.

Since Mrs. Craig left, literally.

See you later, Elliot.

Bye-bye.

Dr. McPherson, Dr. Brian McPherson, pediatric... Thanks for the ride in, Elliot.

You weren't awake.

I thought I'd let you sleep.

I needed my Zs because you snored all night.

No!

Take my word on it.

A nasal aberration, a singularly clogged sinus.

As soon as I can find a place, I'm moving out.

We were just starting to get to know each other, you know, like a real bonding...

You know, I knew it was a mistake when you started labeling stuff in the fridge, yours and mine.

Damn, 20 bucks short.

Wait, wait.

Sorry.

Sorry, buddy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

This is quite a facility, Werner.

Echimena.

Echimena gets their money's worth.

This is only temporary.

Shouldn't be long before we move R&D to our new labs at St. Eligius.

According to all indications, she came through the procedure successfully.

Any evidence of MLI?

None so far, but we have started her on anticoagulants to decrease any chance of clotting the implant.

What about hemorrhage from the drug therapy?

We were a little concerned at first, but now she's in tip-top health.

As far as we can tell, and, well, the artificial heart is working properly.

There she is.

She's a healthy specimen.

Yeah.

Check out those budding teats.

I'll leave you two alone for the examination.

Thank you.

I'm late.

I set the alarm.

My first week back at work and I'm late.

Electricity must have gone out.

Mom, the toilet's backed up.

He was teaching Masters of the Universe to scuba dive.

Already called the front desk.

Hold it in.

See you later.

Drop Chris off at school.

Come on.

Alright.

I'm hungry.

Well, we'll stop and get you an Egg McMuckin something.

Okay.

Get dressed.

I'm not going to school today.

Do we have to debate everything?

I'm not going, period.

Fine, and I'm not arguing.

We are going to find another place to live.

I'm not spending another night here.

Maintenance.

Finally, I'm ready to explode.

Oh, I'm glad you finally got here, my little one.

Put something... Hi, Joanne.

Hugh.

Been on the road.

Sorry I missed your last visit to Seattle.

Oh, well, St. Eligius reopened and we had to hurry back here.

Oh, God, I'm sorry.

I look so awful.

Never were a morning person.

Can I come in?

Oh, sure.

Quiets.

Temporary.

Early Ellis Island.

How did you find us?

I got a phone call yesterday at the office.

My mother.

No.

Boy, night flying's a mess.

Got hung up in O'Hare for light years.

Light years is a distance, not a time span.

Daddy!

Hi, Kate.

Oh.

Hi.

Hello.

Carol, please present Mr. House's case.

Mr. House is having surgery to remove a tumor.

Which will leave me a 450-pound shadow of my former self.

Surgery was previously canceled because of an inability to properly regionally anesthetize.

Didn't have a needle long enough.

And what are the problems that we face with general anesthesia?

He can't lie on his back, making intubation and adequate ventilation difficult.

Surgical.

Fortunately, I don't have to miss any pre-op meals like last time.

Why?

I work downtown in consumer affairs, testing food to make sure you get what you pay for.

Enough cheese on the za, pop in the sickle, that kind of thing.

No, why would you be eating before surgery?

Mr. House will be under clinical hypnosis during the operation.

The focal image used involves numbing the body by allowing him to be lazy,

dull, insensitive, and asleep.

Similar to a piece of wood.

Like Elliot in On Call.

Oh, snap, You're not my twig, huh?

Any question.

Does Dr. Craig know about this?

So how was the run-through at the Church of Madeleine Moussaka?

Rehearsal's a rehearsal, but they sure never toss around the guilt.

Catholics, Jews, they're all coming from the same place.

Catholics toss in some extra incense, Jews a little chicken soup.

You look depressed.

I'm not bueno, bueno.

I just got telex and bad news.

My best friend Dogger's a no-show at the wedding.

Want me to be the best man?

Of course not.

You know, I could use your advice.

Feel free, just not under the terrycloth.

I'm in love.

Well, that's good.

You're getting married.

Not with Lucy.

It's better to find out a day early than a day late.

Who's the wench?

We haven't met.

I saw her on the tee.

Knockout redhead and black.

My endocrine gland spiked.

Well, from this angle, that's the only dangle you have in common with John Dillinger.

Thanks for the non-help.

Listen, Victor.

Take it from a once-dead guy with a bisected sternum.

Take a chance.

Go for the fantasy.

Easier said than done.

This is a big town.

Where do I look?

You asked for advice, not a miracle.

I've been through the minutes of the old board meetings, Judge.

I'm impressed with your fiscal sensibility.

You mean because I recommended that we sell St. Eligius outright?

We had no other choice.

Hospitals are unpredictable animals.

This one will be tamed.

I'd like you to serve on the liaison committee I'm putting together.

Reconnect the old with the new.

Drum up support for the AIDS clinic?

Be terrific for the whole community.

Well, if I ever get up off of this bad back, I'll consider it.

The spinal cord, the enigma of man's physiology.

Actually, it's an ongoing struggle with thrombophlebitis and arthritis.

Kind of.

Do you mind if I have a look?

No.

I don't.

Don't that hurt?

More than you know.

How about here?

No, no, it says deeper than that.

The right thigh is inflamed.

Well, actually, it's the left leg that's been causing the problems.

The pain moves around.

Year-round.

Well, I've had it in the arm, too.

Migratory thrombophlebitis.

Donald, have you thought about an MRI scan?

Not necessary.

Something to consider?

Well, nice meeting you, Judge.

Keep that committee position in mind.

Will do.

I'll check in on you later.

John.

Excuse me.

Farnham is a strong committed choice.

Uh-huh.

Well, what the hell's going on?

Heal some festering wounds.

You're suggesting an MRI scan.

According to the chart, the man's condition hasn't improved in six months.

And now with the back pain and the thrombophlebitis?

Yeah, well, I didn't ask for a consult, did I?

See you oncologists, you're thinking cancer around every corner.

Just being pragmatic.

Frightening.

Quality care for your old friend is all we're both interested in, right?

Right, right.

Oh, and Donald, Ecumen has been undertaking a feasibility study on AIDS clinics.

Good instincts.

Come on, baby.

A simple transfer from savings to checking.

Give it to me one time.

Nurse Gail Murphy, fourth floor of Nurses Station.

This is St. Eligius.

Yeah, I'm gonna call Caitlin at the motel, make sure she's not with that creep from next door.

See you in a minute, sweetie.

We'll be here.

Care.

Oh, hey, hey, you kiddo.

I don't like my department turned into a circus sideshow.

Granted, hypnosis is risky.

Risky?

What's next, voodoo?

Who is it?

Hi, Mark.

How are you feeling?

Don't start with your stock primal questions, Watson.

Who invited you, anyway?

Paulette.

Dr. Watson will be doing the hypnosis.

You?

You?

A hypno-shrink?

Boy, the things you find out about your psychiatrist.

I'm sure there's lots about you I still don't know.

Champion of the smug retort.

Life has changed.

Ho, ho, ho.

I've worked with Mr. House, administered a pain test, and I've taken him step by step

through the procedure with the anesthesiologist.

And who was that, pray tell?

Vijay Kosha.

I knew it.

A third world conspiracy.

Let's not get paranoid.

Opioid.

Oh, you Jungians.

Freudian.

Oh, great.

You're obsessed with my genitalia.

Calm down, Mark.

Look, St. Eligius has got brand new ownership here.

Daily, we test new waters with ecumena, and I don't need wave making in surgery.

What if the patient slips out of the trance and starts screaming bloody murder?

He won't.

Mark, you have carte blanche here.

Otherwise, you would not have come back.

Paulette's right.

Why don't you share some of this freedom?

You two give me a headache.

I'll assume you'll be observing?

You can bet your silk pajamas on it.

Oh, Mark, when is our next therapy session scheduled?

In your dreams.

Your enzymes are still elevated, but creatinine's returning to normal.

Hey, Jack.

Boy, Pete's really grown.

Yeah, one second, Elliot.

We're going to take you off the IV and we'll start you back on solid food.

Okay?

See you later.

What about Pete?

He's gotten so big.

I just saw him down in the lobby sitting with some guy.

Seemed pretty friendly.

With Pete?

Who?

I don't know.

I never saw him before.

Would you hold on to him for a minute?

Don't you ever, ever touch my boy again.

You understand?

Convalescent oncology, goody, ravioli, it's all yours, Paulette, ravioli,

that's it, vitals stabilized, blood pressure is 110 over 70, pulse 80,

we'll give oxygen by face mask, four liters per minute, let's proceed,

pressure holding, steady at 110 over 70, what is it, Ehrlich?

Syrenic, my best buddy Doug are cancelled, said something about gnarly wave action at.

Rincon, my parents Jersey and Holga, I figured by now they would have

diplomatic immunity like North, no word from them, okay, I need a best man.

The ceremony's tomorrow?

Yes sir, and I'm a tad nervous.

By is remorse, sir, marriage is like purchasing a home, it's a bad mistake

until escrow closes, then you move in, get comfortable, and eventually,

the roof caves in.

Yeah, my first one lasted 16 days.

This time, shoot for a month.

If you love hard enough, anything's possible.

Well, sir, is that a yes or a no?

I'd be honored.

Great.

I usually don't overreact.

It's just that Pete was kidnapped once, and I... I said it's okay.

You're protecting your kid.

The nurse next door is watching PV in the waiting room.

Wanting to go home?

Oh, no, thanks.

So here we are.

Yep.

Kids have told me a lot about you.

Yeah, they're great kids.

About the shooting.

I, um, drove Jack past our old house in Seattle.

Our Victorian.

Restored from the basement up.

Took out all the floorboards.

Refinished one by one.

Pre-detailed moldings, built-ins, years of hard work, pride, pristine.

Then Kate's dragged her red wagon into the living room and it turned from a showpiece into a home.

About what happened in our old place.

The murder.

I really don't think we need to talk about this.

What were you thinking about when you put a gun in the apartment, Jack?

The children's safety.

Then why are they back in Boston?

My work.

It's here.

That's crap.

A selfish act.

I'm taking Kate's and Chris back to Seattle.

No, not without a fight, you're not.

Not my style, Joanne.

Don't forget, we have joint custody.

Oh, very nice.

Very, very nice.

Aha, these flowers will go great with the cheese.

Hello.

Thank you.

I got a 10 here.

ER, one thing to want your honeymoon night perfect, it's another thing to be turned into a sherpa.

Whoa.

Hurry, please.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Give me, give me, give me.

Give me the change.

Keep the change, okay?

Keep it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Emergency room, medical, hospital, emergency room, emergency.

Room, emergency room, or emergency room, emergency room, emergency room.

Lucy, did Judge Farman decide to leave?

He hasn't checked out.

Looks like he was sent down for a scan.

By whom?

He's your patient, obstetrician, Dr. Westphall, I assume by you.

Who.

Ordered this test?

Um, Dr. Gideon.

Have you started yet?

Practically finished.

And so am I.

How can.

I get married tomorrow knowing I'm in love with another?

I'm sorry, pal.

Happy hour is over.

It's okay.

I'm so alone, so I can cry.

There you go, Victor.

That one on me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, I'll find her.

You know why?

I believe in magic and Kareem.

In honor of Larry Bird, I'd like to make the next one a triple-double.

Hospital.

Wait a second.

How did you just know my name?

I'm starting to lose control of my senses.

I'm afraid the next thing I'm going to lose is control of my bladder.

Yeah.

Just came for my mail.

It's on the counter.

Mostly bills.

Looks pretty neat.

I can take care of myself.

Have you seen my tux?

Surgery, surgical career for nurses.

She a beauty.

Soft.

Mmm, yummy.

Remember how you always talked about having one?

Yes, in 1956.

I couldn't afford a coat like this in 1956.

I was a resident.

Stephen was on the way.

We had a mortgage.

Come on, try it on.

No.

Why not?

Because I don't want to look like Mamie Eisenhower.

Oh, Mark, I appreciate the gesture, but old ladies wear these things, not me.

And to look all over Boston.

You're missing the point.

We're not separated because of what you did or did not give me in the past.

Then why?

I am not that sweet little knothead you married 30 years ago.

I've changed.

And the person I've become would not make you a good wife.

So you don't want this?

No.

Of all the rude, selfish... You're calling me rude?

I never turned up my nose to a gift of yours, no matter how much I hated them.

Okay, that does it.

Uhm Ward 9, lice, preventive home office, emergency room, emergency room,

emergency room, emergency room, emergency room.

This monstrosity of the 20th century ain't my favorite credit card.

Well, look, you go to the bank tomorrow, you talk to the bank

manager, and they'll get everything straightened out for you.

Great.

A human being.

I'm passionate.

Not on a game in here, buddy.

And more.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What I owe you.

Nothing.

Come on.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing.

No, no.

After all, you'll get married in the morning, pal.

Right.

Now get out of here, Victor.

Hell, it's morning already.

Okay.

I'm okay.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Hey.

Hey, thanks for the lift.

I'm Victor Ehrlich, M.D.

scythio-s constellation of patients, marriages, that's the point!

Come on baby!

Okay, a little early am mouthwash?

Wouldn't be bad.

What?

Lucy!

The redhead!

The wedding!

I'm a dead man!

Where's the Church?!

Where's the Staples?!

Where are my clothes?!

Sleeping?

Sleeping, trying, I'm on for 36, doctor's hours, yeah, they're the worst,

when Joanne told me she was marrying her high school sweetie, a resident,

I warned her, you'll never see him, I said, he'll always be at the hospital,

well, you were right, you know, Morrison, we're not that different,

We both fell in love with the same woman.

I wanted to go to law school.

Joanne got pregnant.

I guess I resented her after that.

But once Caitlin was born, well, my dreams came second to her.

You got a kid, you know what I mean.

Yeah, you're first at a special place.

Because, because they were first.

Then we had Chris.

So I worked.

Selling to department stores in the city.

Seattle, Portland, Spokane, Triangle.

Sort of the post-Vietnam Willie Loman.

I was doing okay.

You know, juggling mortgage, bills, family, keeping it all in the air when the wife says she's leaving.

So you hate me?

Thick as a brick.

This isn't about you.

My kids have one chance to grow up with pets, bikes in the yard, unlocked doors,

st tensors, with pride in where theyíre livingÖ estoyando hoy aquí, con mis hijos, no lo puedes.

Obr thumb an, tal vez no respaldes a mi, pero probablemente respaldes la ley, El orden de la justicia.

Why are you doing this to Joanne?

Joanne knows in her heart Bostonís a mistake.

Get on 연습, Iím getting a little tired of being your human yo-yo.

I, omma, Iím sorryÖ I'm sorry.

You should have this aggressive behavior examined, Jack.

If it frightens me, imagine the effect it's having on the kids, my kids.

No more.

Donald, sorry I couldn't meet with you yesterday.

Left early to jet out to the main office in Missouri.

Emergency meeting.

Well, John, I'm confused.

I specifically asked you not to interfere in my patient care, and the next thing I

hear, you've ordered a test against my wishes.

Now, what the hell's going on?

Farnham's MRI scan results.

Pancreatic cancer.

Let's hope we caught it in an early stage and there's a good chance the tumor can be removed with surgery.

99% of these cases are incurable.

Look, I know you think I was interfering, but unfortunately, most of the time,

when oncologists go looking under bushes for cancer, we find metastasized roots.

A judge deserves better than this.

Yeah.

Too bad.

I've been mulling over your AIDS clinic proposal.

The disease's impact on hospital cost-effectiveness.

You're really a clever guy.

One second, we're talking about a man's life, and the next, I feel like I'm sitting in an accountant's office.

Who are you?

Your ally.

I hope so.

I guess we'd better schedule Farnham for a needle biopsy emergency as soon as possible.

Right.

Sure.

Oh, and Donald.

In plain dollars and cents, Ecumena is worried about the funding of an AIDS clinic at St.

Eligius.

So we'll have to say no to your proposal.

I'm here to check your dressing.

The nurse just did.

Breakfast was great.

When did they serve lunch?

Around noon.

So how did the hypnosis go?

Doctor, specialist, talisman, CMS, does any of those things that you mentioned?

Really, I mean, I mean, it's real.

I mean, it's a real thing.

Lighten my load.

Not much.

Don't you know that obesity can kill you?

Heart disease, cholesterol, diabetes.

I'm happy in my oversized life, okay?

I got friends, I got a good job, got no complaints, this is who I am.

I'll get it.

Thanks.

So, what are they serving?

Uh, let's see, it's Tuesday, must be Turkey.

It's Wednesday.

Wednesday, all that means the special is ravioli.

I'll take that one, okay?

Here's wallet, credit cards, everything, okay?

Trust me.

I'll be back.

I'll be back!

I just want to see who's out here.

Lucy, my niece, you look so beautiful, like the Vestal Virgin.

I got a lot of nerve wearing white.

Flowers are in place.

Bentonitis, osteoporosis, and arthrosis.

Doctor.

No, but I'm sure he's on his way.

What kind of dummy would be late for his own wedding?

A tall, nearsighted one.

Don't worry.

Worry?

I'm not worried.

This is the happiest day of my life.

Morning, Judge.

Donald, what are you doing here on a Saturday morning?

I couldn't sleep.

Oh, well, we could have had breakfast together.

Food's a lot better around here than I remember, even though it wouldn't stay down.

No.

You know, the whole place seems to be running more efficiently.

Yeah, well, the benefits of unlimited resources.

No, no, more an ability to see the big picture.

Myopia pays its price, you know, in justice and in medicine.

All right, I'm sorry about the misdiagnosis.

Yeah, pancreatic cancer.

Who would have thunk it?

It's still in an early stage.

Don't plea, Bart.

And I've heard an excuse for every crime known to man.

Yeah, I know you have, but with successful surgery... Oh, stop, stop.

Gideon tells me the odds I'll last longer than six months are a long shot.

Well, no sense in retiring.

I'll spend that time back on the bench, doling out justice.

I'm sorry.

Don't beat yourself up, Donald.

Take my advice.

Don't dismiss John Gideon.

Operation.

Hitch yourself to his coattails and enjoy the ride.

Still friends?

Oh, sure we are.

We've been through too much over the years to let this get in the way of our friendship.

Glad to hear that.

You're just not my doctor anymore.

I'm crying out loud, Earl.

I come to it.

You can change in the ante room.

Gorilla, he's here.

Порan.

You shouldn't see me.

I, I, I've got to go fix my hair.

I'll hurry up, Ehrlich.

Ehrlich, What?

What?

This is not 1968.

It's time you graduate into adulthood.

But sir, I'm torn.

Don't drive over troubled waters with some plastic bimbette.

It's your life.

Yeah.

I think the new management's going to work out.

I think they're going to be a good team.

Pain.

Hiya, Petey.

Bang!

I got a hunch we're going to find the perfect colonial today.

We never should have left Seattle.

You told me to follow my instincts.

Bang!

Because my time and my work here, care.

They're incomplete.

Unfinished.

Well, it's clear it was a mistake.

Bang!

Can you get him to stop that, please?

I promised we'll get back Caitlin and Chris.

We'll hire a lawyer.

You'll get sole custody.

Besides, Thanksgiving's just around the corner.

Bang!

Bang!

We'll all go visit, you, me, and Pete.

If I can get the time off.

Bang!

Shut up!

Would you please shut up?

Go ahead and let him go.

He doesn't know what he's doing.

Well, neither do I.

You want to go for a walk?

No.

Huh?

No!

Get some frozen yogurt?

I have given away my babies.

Hey, come to daddy.

Wheaton.

County Health School,
