1
00:01:10,937 --> 00:01:12,871
Back home at last.

2
00:01:12,972 --> 00:01:16,772
Coalville, USA, five miles from Pittsburgh.

3
00:01:16,876 --> 00:01:19,174
Empty cars heading for the mines,

4
00:01:19,279 --> 00:01:23,716
soon to return loaded
with thousands of tons of coal.

5
00:01:24,617 --> 00:01:27,313
How long had it been since I first left?

6
00:01:27,654 --> 00:01:33,058
Ten years and two wars ago,
and only two short leaves in between.

7
00:01:33,326 --> 00:01:35,226
The Reasonover Coal Company.

8
00:01:35,328 --> 00:01:39,662
The sky always gray with smoke, the miners,

9
00:01:40,166 --> 00:01:45,365
the huge trucks,
everything covered with soot and dirt.

10
00:01:45,472 --> 00:01:49,238
Mountains of coal piled black
against the sky.

11
00:01:49,476 --> 00:01:53,003
It had always been the same
ever since I could remember.

12
00:01:53,346 --> 00:01:57,840
I wondered if anything had changed,
if anything ever could change in this town.

13
00:01:58,751 --> 00:02:02,243
The street where I lived exactly as I left it.

14
00:02:02,922 --> 00:02:04,913
It's Tom! It's Tom Owen!

15
00:02:05,325 --> 00:02:07,418
- Hey, Slim!
- Tom!

16
00:02:07,627 --> 00:02:10,596
- Hello, Doc Scobee.
- Tom, you're looking well.

17
00:02:10,697 --> 00:02:13,291
- Mr. Upham, how are you?
- It's been a long time, Slim.

18
00:02:13,399 --> 00:02:17,062
Or will I be court-martialed for saying that
to a full colonel in the Medical Corps?

19
00:02:17,170 --> 00:02:20,367
- You've still got seniority on me.
- Staying for a while, Tom?

20
00:02:20,473 --> 00:02:22,373
I don't know. I just got in from Tokyo.

21
00:02:22,475 --> 00:02:24,670
I'm on leave.
I haven't even seen my mother yet.

22
00:02:24,777 --> 00:02:26,438
I'm sorry about your brother.

23
00:02:26,546 --> 00:02:28,013
- Too bad, Slim.
- Yes, it was.

24
00:02:28,114 --> 00:02:29,877
I'd like to talk to you about it sometime.

25
00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:32,611
I'll drop in and see you
in your office then, Doc.

26
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:34,550
- Good.
- So long.

27
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,855
When did he get back?

28
00:02:41,961 --> 00:02:44,293
Hello, Pete. It's been a long time.

29
00:02:44,397 --> 00:02:45,625
Not long enough.

30
00:02:45,732 --> 00:02:48,030
What did you come back for?
Cover up for your lousy brother?

31
00:02:48,134 --> 00:02:49,692
Now, take it easy, Pete. That's no way to talk.

32
00:02:49,802 --> 00:02:51,702
I'm not talking.
That'll bring back my dead father?

33
00:02:51,804 --> 00:02:55,205
- That mine wasn't safe and you know it.
- Now, don't start any crazy rumors.

34
00:02:55,308 --> 00:02:56,297
Rumors about what?

35
00:02:56,409 --> 00:02:58,070
Your brother was nothing
but a cheap crook!

36
00:02:58,178 --> 00:02:59,543
And murderer!

37
00:03:02,715 --> 00:03:06,116
- Don't do that again, Pete.
- Let the heel alone, Pete.

38
00:03:06,219 --> 00:03:08,779
Yeah, you might dirty up his uniform.

39
00:03:12,625 --> 00:03:15,788
- Tom, I'm sorry about this.
- Me, too, Slim.

40
00:03:16,029 --> 00:03:20,659
- What was he saying about my brother?
- Nothing, nothing at all. Just a lot of gossip.

41
00:03:21,534 --> 00:03:22,796
Thanks.

42
00:03:47,660 --> 00:03:50,891
Tom. Tom, you look fine!

43
00:03:51,631 --> 00:03:53,121
So do you, Mom.

44
00:03:57,804 --> 00:03:59,066
Come on.

45
00:04:01,407 --> 00:04:05,571
You didn't have to come home.
I took care of everything after Floyd died.

46
00:04:05,678 --> 00:04:07,043
I wrote you.

47
00:04:08,848 --> 00:04:11,942
Is it all right you being back?
Did you get permission?

48
00:04:12,051 --> 00:04:14,645
Well, do you think I'm playing hooky, Mom?

49
00:04:15,955 --> 00:04:18,446
You used to be pretty good at it at school.

50
00:04:18,591 --> 00:04:21,059
Now, don't worry. Everything's all right.

51
00:04:22,295 --> 00:04:24,991
It feels like I've been gone about two days.

52
00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:27,828
Ten years. I can't believe it.

53
00:04:28,167 --> 00:04:31,933
All the places you've been,
and all the things you've done.

54
00:04:32,739 --> 00:04:35,708
- You look bigger.
- It's the uniform.

55
00:04:35,908 --> 00:04:39,366
Look, no coal dirt under the fingernails.

56
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:43,108
Pop's scrubbing brush
and your laundry soap finally paid off.

57
00:04:43,216 --> 00:04:45,275
- Clean.
- They're good hands.

58
00:04:45,985 --> 00:04:47,885
You're a good doctor.

59
00:04:47,987 --> 00:04:50,114
Mom, how did Floyd die?

60
00:04:51,524 --> 00:04:55,620
They were working a crew
on the fourth cross entry when it blew up.

61
00:04:56,195 --> 00:04:58,186
- Firedamp?
- We don't know.

62
00:04:59,065 --> 00:05:03,593
We won't know till the report
from the Bureau of Mines comes in.

63
00:05:05,471 --> 00:05:08,031
They say Mr. Reasonover is going
to announce it.

64
00:05:08,141 --> 00:05:11,133
The men said the ventilating system
was bad.

65
00:05:11,811 --> 00:05:14,780
That's what Floyd went down
to find out about.

66
00:05:15,882 --> 00:05:17,281
He didn't have to go down there.

67
00:05:17,383 --> 00:05:21,046
How can you say that, Mom?
He was the safety engineer. That was his job.

68
00:05:21,321 --> 00:05:24,256
You can't quarrel with your brother
anymore. He's dead.

69
00:05:24,424 --> 00:05:27,860
I didn't mean it that way, Mom.
How about some coffee?

70
00:05:28,861 --> 00:05:32,957
Sometimes I wonder.
Your father, your grandfather Micah,

71
00:05:34,233 --> 00:05:37,760
"Stay above the ground
and have an education," they said.

72
00:05:38,271 --> 00:05:42,435
"Keep the dirt from under your fingernails,
learn to be a gentleman," they said.

73
00:05:42,542 --> 00:05:44,237
Well, we learned it.

74
00:05:44,744 --> 00:05:48,202
My Army commission says so.
"An officer and a gentleman. "

75
00:05:51,951 --> 00:05:55,910
Floyd learned, too, in his own way,
by marrying a rich woman.

76
00:05:56,322 --> 00:05:59,189
Marrying for money
doesn't make a gentleman.

77
00:06:00,893 --> 00:06:05,023
That big house, all those servants,
putting on a front...

78
00:06:05,131 --> 00:06:06,962
Floyd didn't belong there.

79
00:06:07,133 --> 00:06:09,761
- Where did he belong, Mom?
- Here.

80
00:06:09,869 --> 00:06:14,533
Here? Living in the ground like an animal?
One jump ahead of his bills?

81
00:06:14,841 --> 00:06:18,868
Is that what you wanted for Floyd?
To spend the rest of his life in Coalville?

82
00:06:19,445 --> 00:06:21,072
I like Coalville.

83
00:06:24,584 --> 00:06:26,211
I was born here.

84
00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:29,852
I raised you and Floyd here.
I'm going to stay here.

85
00:06:30,923 --> 00:06:32,823
That's what Floyd should have done.

86
00:06:32,925 --> 00:06:36,725
You don't mean that, Mom. You can't.

87
00:06:36,829 --> 00:06:40,526
You know how hard Floyd and I fought
to get out of the mines.

88
00:06:40,666 --> 00:06:44,295
Now I'm out, I'm going to stay out.
Just like Floyd tried to do.

89
00:06:44,404 --> 00:06:46,599
Where did all his trying get him?

90
00:06:46,706 --> 00:06:49,140
Do you know what they're saying
about Floyd?

91
00:06:49,242 --> 00:06:51,767
They're saying Floyd caused the accident.

92
00:06:51,878 --> 00:06:55,473
That it wasn't safe down there,
that the installations were bad.

93
00:06:55,581 --> 00:06:57,446
That was Floyd's job.

94
00:06:58,451 --> 00:07:00,885
They're calling him a thief and a murderer.

95
00:07:01,154 --> 00:07:04,817
What kind of talk is that?
You don't believe that.

96
00:07:05,558 --> 00:07:07,355
I don't know what to believe.

97
00:07:07,460 --> 00:07:10,520
I didn't know Floyd
after he married that woman.

98
00:07:10,630 --> 00:07:14,259
Living in that house where he shouldn't
have lived, spending money he didn't have,

99
00:07:14,367 --> 00:07:17,996
- always needing more!
- I don't care how much money he spent.

100
00:07:18,871 --> 00:07:21,431
- I don't believe a word of it.
- Tom!

101
00:07:22,375 --> 00:07:25,674
- Where are you going, Tom?
- To find Dan Reasonover.

102
00:07:28,815 --> 00:07:32,148
I'll be back, Mom. Don't worry.
Everything will be all right.

103
00:07:55,608 --> 00:07:58,975
- I'm looking for Mr. Reasonover.
- Oh, just a moment, please.

104
00:08:08,754 --> 00:08:10,449
Will you excuse me?

105
00:08:18,297 --> 00:08:20,857
Mr. Reasonover's office told me
I could find him here.

106
00:08:20,967 --> 00:08:23,435
- You might.
- Is he here or isn't he?

107
00:08:23,536 --> 00:08:28,769
Well, now, Colonel, if you were
a bit more polite and a little more friendly,

108
00:08:29,275 --> 00:08:31,675
I might tell you. I'm his daughter.

109
00:08:33,946 --> 00:08:36,073
Paul, sweetie,
do you know where my husband is?

110
00:08:36,182 --> 00:08:38,844
- No.
- Well, be an angel and go find him.

111
00:08:38,951 --> 00:08:39,940
You've had enough, Rita.

112
00:08:40,052 --> 00:08:43,488
He's with that sexy dish from Philadelphia,
that's where he is.

113
00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:46,615
I must say, Mrs. Nelson
really started the season.

114
00:08:46,726 --> 00:08:49,718
- Well, hi, honey, how about a drink?
- Come on, Colonel, join us.

115
00:08:49,829 --> 00:08:51,524
Where did he come from?

116
00:08:52,331 --> 00:08:54,663
But this is a virtue
of modern painting, Mrs. Nelson.

117
00:08:54,767 --> 00:08:56,564
But I don't hold with modern painting.

118
00:08:56,669 --> 00:08:59,832
Now, I like a nice comfortable painter
like Rembrandt.

119
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:02,538
When he painted a naked woman,
you knew it was a woman

120
00:09:02,642 --> 00:09:05,543
- and not an order of scrambled eggs.
- Tom!

121
00:09:06,412 --> 00:09:07,879
- Well, how are you, Tom?
- Dan.

122
00:09:07,980 --> 00:09:09,811
- When did you get back to the States?
- This morning.

123
00:09:09,916 --> 00:09:12,077
I've spent the past two hours
tracking you down.

124
00:09:12,184 --> 00:09:14,846
Well, I'm glad you found me.
I want you to meet my friends.

125
00:09:14,954 --> 00:09:17,252
- Mrs. Nelson, my sister.
- How do you do, ma'am?

126
00:09:17,390 --> 00:09:19,153
- And Miss Grellett.
- This is a pleasure.

127
00:09:19,258 --> 00:09:21,419
This is my daughter, Mrs. Curtis.

128
00:09:21,561 --> 00:09:23,995
- We've already met.
- Dan, could I see you alone for a minute?

129
00:09:24,096 --> 00:09:27,497
- It's important.
- Sure. Will you excuse us?

130
00:09:28,334 --> 00:09:30,325
We can go in here, Tom.

131
00:09:30,903 --> 00:09:32,768
What is this? An invasion?

132
00:09:32,872 --> 00:09:35,500
An attractive one, don't you think?

133
00:09:40,279 --> 00:09:41,769
Mr. Reasonover.

134
00:09:41,881 --> 00:09:43,974
In Philadelphia, we knock on doors.

135
00:09:44,083 --> 00:09:46,984
I wouldn't know about that.
I haven't been there lately. I...

136
00:09:55,227 --> 00:09:59,186
Helen, who is
that great, big, handsome uniform?

137
00:09:59,298 --> 00:10:01,425
I don't know, but I'm going to find out.

138
00:10:01,534 --> 00:10:04,992
And remember, darling,
we're playing Western rules.

139
00:10:05,137 --> 00:10:06,627
I saw him first.

140
00:10:06,739 --> 00:10:09,469
I can't believe it. Criminal negligence?

141
00:10:09,575 --> 00:10:12,544
Those are the facts, Tom. That's what
the report from the Mining Bureau says.

142
00:10:12,645 --> 00:10:14,169
You can come in and read it in my office.

143
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,478
But Floyd had mine safety drummed
into his head from the day he could walk.

144
00:10:18,918 --> 00:10:20,749
It doesn't make sense.

145
00:10:20,953 --> 00:10:23,183
It didn't make sense to me either
until I found out why.

146
00:10:23,289 --> 00:10:24,756
- Well, why?
- Money.

147
00:10:24,857 --> 00:10:27,553
Floyd had complete charge
of all my safety installations.

148
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:32,120
He had my authority to buy what he wanted,
where he wanted, no questions asked.

149
00:10:32,231 --> 00:10:36,327
In eight years, he spent more
than a million dollars for equipment.

150
00:10:37,336 --> 00:10:40,396
- Then he did the best he could, didn't he?
- He didn't.

151
00:10:40,506 --> 00:10:42,997
Out of every dollar he spent,
he took a kickback.

152
00:10:43,109 --> 00:10:46,010
To hide it, he put in
the cheapest kind of equipment, junk!

153
00:10:46,345 --> 00:10:50,577
What about the Bureau inspections?
Why didn't the inspectors turn it up?

154
00:10:50,683 --> 00:10:53,049
They made the same mistake I did.

155
00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:55,350
When you trust a man who works for you,
you trust him.

156
00:10:55,454 --> 00:10:58,480
You don't go over every move he makes
with a fine-tooth comb.

157
00:10:58,591 --> 00:11:01,754
I'm afraid it adds up.
He lived beyond his means, way beyond.

158
00:11:01,861 --> 00:11:05,592
In addition to what he stole from me,
he borrowed heavily.

159
00:11:06,799 --> 00:11:08,892
What are you going to do about it?

160
00:11:09,068 --> 00:11:11,662
You can't prosecute a dead man.

161
00:11:11,771 --> 00:11:13,705
How much does he owe you?

162
00:11:14,507 --> 00:11:16,771
Oh, forget it, Tom.

163
00:11:16,876 --> 00:11:18,935
Let me give you a little advice.

164
00:11:19,045 --> 00:11:22,776
Your whole family worked for me ever since
I left the pits and put on a white collar.

165
00:11:22,882 --> 00:11:26,875
Grandfather, father, brother...
Never worked for anybody else.

166
00:11:27,453 --> 00:11:29,785
If I remember rightly,
even you worked for me.

167
00:11:29,889 --> 00:11:34,019
- Barrow boy. $3 a week.
- $3 a week. That's right.

168
00:11:34,126 --> 00:11:36,458
Well, you've come a long way.

169
00:11:36,762 --> 00:11:40,823
Made a great record in the Army.
Everybody knows about it, respects you.

170
00:11:40,933 --> 00:11:44,232
Floyd has nothing to do with you.
That'll all be forgotten.

171
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:45,799
See that you forget it, too.

172
00:11:45,905 --> 00:11:48,669
Just keep right on going the way you have.

173
00:11:48,774 --> 00:11:51,470
- How much did he get away with?
- Tom, I told you, forget it!

174
00:11:51,577 --> 00:11:54,478
Forget it? How can I forget it?

175
00:11:56,282 --> 00:11:57,408
- What happened?
- It's Rita.

176
00:11:57,516 --> 00:11:59,507
- Rita Thornburg?
- All I did was kiss him.

177
00:11:59,618 --> 00:12:02,610
- I didn't mean anything.
- Shut up. You caused enough trouble.

178
00:12:03,289 --> 00:12:04,722
A doctor! Somebody get a doctor!

179
00:12:04,824 --> 00:12:06,189
How was I to know she'd get so jealous

180
00:12:06,292 --> 00:12:08,453
- she'd want to do a thing like that?
- Father! Get a doctor, quickly!

181
00:12:08,561 --> 00:12:10,620
- Rita's bleeding badly.
- Let me look at her.

182
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:12,789
It's all right, Helen,
Colonel Owen is a doctor.

183
00:12:12,898 --> 00:12:14,263
You, get some alcohol.

184
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,625
Dan, see if you
can dig up some spirits of ammonia.

185
00:12:16,736 --> 00:12:18,226
Well, shouldn't we call Dr. Gleeson?

186
00:12:18,337 --> 00:12:21,397
I'm sure the Colonel had
tougher cases in Korea.

187
00:12:21,974 --> 00:12:23,305
Open it.

188
00:12:24,944 --> 00:12:26,241
Will she be all right, Colonel?

189
00:12:26,345 --> 00:12:28,905
Well, as long as she doesn't slash
her wrists again.

190
00:12:29,014 --> 00:12:32,177
Oh, Colonel, there's just one more thing.

191
00:12:32,351 --> 00:12:34,615
Don't worry. It won't be in the papers.

192
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,915
Oh, thanks. I appreciate it.

193
00:12:37,022 --> 00:12:39,217
Are you quite sure she'll be all right?

194
00:12:39,325 --> 00:12:43,318
She lost about three ounces of blood.
The human body contains 13 pints,

195
00:12:43,429 --> 00:12:45,556
so I don't think she has much
to worry about.

196
00:12:45,664 --> 00:12:48,258
I must say you were very impressive,
the way you handled it.

197
00:12:48,434 --> 00:12:51,164
Cub Scouts do it every day for merit badges.

198
00:12:51,270 --> 00:12:54,296
- Can I persuade you to have a drink?
- No, thanks. And I'm in a hurry.

199
00:12:54,406 --> 00:12:56,237
Just out of curiosity, Colonel,

200
00:12:56,342 --> 00:12:59,937
do these represent places you've been
or things you've done?

201
00:13:00,412 --> 00:13:01,777
A little of both.

202
00:13:01,881 --> 00:13:04,714
Are you quite sure
about that drink, Colonel?

203
00:13:05,484 --> 00:13:07,645
I'm quite sure, Mrs. Curtis.

204
00:13:24,503 --> 00:13:25,800
Come in.

205
00:13:26,705 --> 00:13:28,172
- Tom!
- Hello, Doctor.

206
00:13:28,274 --> 00:13:30,174
I didn't expect to see you here
this time of night.

207
00:13:30,276 --> 00:13:32,972
Your mother told me you went looking
for Dan Reasonover. Find him?

208
00:13:33,078 --> 00:13:34,636
I found him.

209
00:13:36,549 --> 00:13:39,575
Yes, I read the full report. I'm sorry, Tom.

210
00:13:40,286 --> 00:13:42,481
What've you got there?
Somebody's broken collarbone?

211
00:13:42,588 --> 00:13:46,422
No, something more serious.
Take a look at that. It might interest you.

212
00:13:46,625 --> 00:13:50,925
The sixth miner in three weeks.
Coughing, nausea, bronchial irritation.

213
00:13:51,397 --> 00:13:53,262
Once you get a pattern like that,
you know in your bones

214
00:13:53,365 --> 00:13:56,857
it's going to get worse before it gets better.
If it's ever going to get better.

215
00:13:56,969 --> 00:13:59,733
Everything gets better.
If a doctor didn't believe that,

216
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:02,399
he ought to be selling shoes.

217
00:14:03,175 --> 00:14:05,507
- Hey...
- See anything?

218
00:14:05,811 --> 00:14:10,714
Once in Germany,
I was working on some miners near Essen.

219
00:14:11,283 --> 00:14:15,481
Made some X-rays. There was
this same formation in the right lobe.

220
00:14:15,721 --> 00:14:17,279
Just about here.

221
00:14:17,523 --> 00:14:20,014
Wish I could remember exactly...

222
00:14:22,261 --> 00:14:23,626
It's gone.

223
00:14:23,729 --> 00:14:26,459
I thought it might be methane gas,
but it's just a wild guess.

224
00:14:26,565 --> 00:14:31,559
Well, Pasteur made some wild guesses
that moved us all up 100 years.

225
00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:34,264
Well, I know it takes centuries
for methane gas to gather under the ground,

226
00:14:34,373 --> 00:14:36,773
but it's not poisonous, Tom.

227
00:14:37,276 --> 00:14:39,870
But I don't see how it'd give the men
those symptoms.

228
00:14:39,979 --> 00:14:42,004
- Coal dust?
- Not this irritation.

229
00:14:42,181 --> 00:14:45,344
I read the inspector's report.
Rock dusting was recommended and done.

230
00:14:45,451 --> 00:14:46,884
Well, maybe they missed some.

231
00:14:46,986 --> 00:14:49,682
Not likely. But it's always possible
that more accumulated

232
00:14:49,788 --> 00:14:51,278
from the new cutting machines.

233
00:14:51,390 --> 00:14:52,755
Well, if it keeps on...

234
00:14:52,858 --> 00:14:56,191
The mine inspectors are pretty good
about watching for that.

235
00:14:56,295 --> 00:14:58,729
They know that a spark off a miner's pick,

236
00:14:58,831 --> 00:15:01,698
off his hobnailed boots,
can explode the methane gas

237
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:03,324
and you know what that can do.

238
00:15:03,435 --> 00:15:07,132
It would set off the coal dust
like an atomic chain reaction.

239
00:15:07,239 --> 00:15:11,300
No, it's not the dust.
This is something else. Something worse.

240
00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:15,711
I need help. Is there any chance of you
leaving the Army, Tom?

241
00:15:17,816 --> 00:15:21,877
There's always a chance, but I like the Army.

242
00:15:22,988 --> 00:15:26,890
We need another doctor here. I need
a young man, a good man to take over.

243
00:15:26,992 --> 00:15:30,291
It isn't much of a practice,
but in a year or two it will be all yours.

244
00:15:30,396 --> 00:15:33,092
You won't get rich, but I need help.

245
00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:35,289
What about my needs?

246
00:15:35,401 --> 00:15:38,996
Well, you've got your hands. You've got
your scalpel. That's all a doctor needs.

247
00:15:39,138 --> 00:15:43,097
I've also got a dead brother who left
a coal scuttle full of debts.

248
00:15:43,208 --> 00:15:46,234
- What about those?
- There are all kinds of debts.

249
00:15:46,645 --> 00:15:49,739
If I had to choose between the kind I owed
Dan Reasonover

250
00:15:50,115 --> 00:15:53,243
- and the kind I owed Coalville...
- Thanks, Doc.

251
00:15:54,153 --> 00:15:57,020
But they're my debts, not yours.

252
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:02,793
You're sure Mr. Reasonover told you
everything there was to tell?

253
00:16:02,895 --> 00:16:04,624
There was nothing to tell.

254
00:16:04,730 --> 00:16:08,166
- He didn't blame Floyd?
- Floyd's name didn't come up.

255
00:16:10,669 --> 00:16:12,034
You know how these things are, Mom.

256
00:16:12,137 --> 00:16:15,072
When there's an accident,
they all pass the buck.

257
00:16:15,174 --> 00:16:20,441
There'll always be somebody to blame Floyd,
or the Union, or Dan Reasonover himself.

258
00:16:22,448 --> 00:16:24,848
Look, Mom, it's over.

259
00:16:25,651 --> 00:16:27,551
It's finished. Forget it.

260
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:29,086
I'll try.

261
00:16:30,289 --> 00:16:32,086
What are you going to do
with your vacation, Tom?

262
00:16:32,191 --> 00:16:33,590
Oh, I don't know.

263
00:16:33,692 --> 00:16:39,130
After Korea, all I want to do for a while
is sleep and eat, do a little thinking.

264
00:16:46,538 --> 00:16:48,233
Hello?

265
00:16:48,707 --> 00:16:49,969
Yes.

266
00:16:52,511 --> 00:16:55,412
It's for you, Tom. A Mrs. Helen Curtis.

267
00:16:57,783 --> 00:16:58,977
Thanks.

268
00:17:01,086 --> 00:17:02,053
Hello.

269
00:17:02,154 --> 00:17:04,850
I wondered if you had any special plans
for today?

270
00:17:04,957 --> 00:17:08,290
Well, I was going to look up
some old friends.

271
00:17:11,697 --> 00:17:13,961
I don't know about that.

272
00:17:17,703 --> 00:17:19,762
1:00, my apartment.

273
00:17:20,105 --> 00:17:21,572
I'll be there.

274
00:17:27,813 --> 00:17:31,374
I have to run in to Pittsburgh for lunch.

275
00:17:32,618 --> 00:17:34,347
With Helen Curtis.

276
00:17:34,987 --> 00:17:36,511
That's right.

277
00:17:36,722 --> 00:17:39,213
She was a friend of Floyd's wife.

278
00:17:39,324 --> 00:17:40,985
What's wrong with that?

279
00:17:42,127 --> 00:17:43,719
I don't know.

280
00:17:44,763 --> 00:17:46,230
I'm just afraid.

281
00:17:55,774 --> 00:17:59,073
That was quite a collection of characters
you had here last night.

282
00:17:59,178 --> 00:18:02,409
- What was the occasion?
- Just a party. You saved it.

283
00:18:02,514 --> 00:18:05,915
Oh, I'm glad.
You looked like you were holding court.

284
00:18:06,018 --> 00:18:08,748
Do I detect a slight antisocial flavor
in your attitude?

285
00:18:08,854 --> 00:18:12,187
On the contrary,
I couldn't have been more impressed.

286
00:18:12,357 --> 00:18:17,192
The last time I saw a layout like this
I was quartered in a castle on the Rhine.

287
00:18:17,296 --> 00:18:19,821
Didn't get much chance to look it over
last night, though.

288
00:18:19,932 --> 00:18:22,730
- How is Mrs. Thornburg, by the way?
- Rita?

289
00:18:22,901 --> 00:18:25,699
When she sobered up this morning,
she felt kind of silly about the whole thing.

290
00:18:25,804 --> 00:18:28,898
It's been my experience
that women who drink too much aren't silly.

291
00:18:29,007 --> 00:18:30,372
They're frustrated.

292
00:18:30,476 --> 00:18:33,240
Mrs. Thornburg obviously
has quite a problem.

293
00:18:33,345 --> 00:18:36,610
- May I pay you a small compliment?
- If it's not too small.

294
00:18:36,782 --> 00:18:39,250
I didn't get much sleep this morning
because of you.

295
00:18:39,351 --> 00:18:43,720
There were four calls, all women,
asking about Colonel Tom Owen.

296
00:18:43,822 --> 00:18:47,258
- Did you take their numbers?
- I told them I saw you first.

297
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,327
Occupied territory.

298
00:18:49,595 --> 00:18:52,530
You know that might be fun,
being occupied.

299
00:18:52,764 --> 00:18:54,129
It could be.

300
00:18:59,371 --> 00:19:03,637
They all said what a shame you weren't
a civilian doctor with offices in Pittsburgh.

301
00:19:03,742 --> 00:19:06,768
- Have you ever thought about that?
- Not very seriously.

302
00:19:06,879 --> 00:19:10,645
Well, you're a Colonel. You've probably
done your share in the Army.

303
00:19:10,782 --> 00:19:13,410
You know,
you were beginning to impress me.

304
00:19:13,519 --> 00:19:15,544
Money, style, honesty.

305
00:19:15,921 --> 00:19:19,516
I might have known there'd be something
wrong with you. You're a reformer.

306
00:19:20,092 --> 00:19:22,151
How can you say that
simply because I suggest

307
00:19:22,261 --> 00:19:25,890
you think about a private practice instead
of devoting your whole life to the Army?

308
00:19:25,998 --> 00:19:28,489
But I like the Army. I like it very much.

309
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,398
- Give me one good reason.
- I'll give you a dozen.

310
00:19:31,503 --> 00:19:34,700
They all spell security.
I'm a full colonel, Mrs. Curtis.

311
00:19:34,806 --> 00:19:38,799
$777.48 a month, every month.

312
00:19:38,944 --> 00:19:40,741
That's no reason, and you know it.

313
00:19:40,846 --> 00:19:44,475
You could make 10 times that here,
every month.

314
00:19:45,017 --> 00:19:46,416
What makes you think so?

315
00:19:46,518 --> 00:19:48,509
You saw them in my apartment last night.

316
00:19:48,620 --> 00:19:51,145
The richest, the cream of the crop.

317
00:19:51,390 --> 00:19:54,689
And they saw you. That's why they called.

318
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,788
They'd all come, checkbooks in hand.

319
00:19:59,932 --> 00:20:02,059
Isn't that security?

320
00:20:02,601 --> 00:20:04,967
- Does that answer you?
- Not quite.

321
00:20:05,070 --> 00:20:07,095
You wouldn't have to worry.
I could help you.

322
00:20:07,206 --> 00:20:10,471
What are you after,
another moose head to hang on your wall?

323
00:20:10,976 --> 00:20:13,706
You might make a good-looking moose head
at that.

324
00:20:13,812 --> 00:20:16,645
Nobody is going to collect me and hang me
on any wall.

325
00:20:16,748 --> 00:20:19,216
Any experienced collector
will tell you, Colonel,

326
00:20:19,318 --> 00:20:23,084
that prize items are always given
special treatment.

327
00:20:23,322 --> 00:20:26,086
Just how much experience have you had?

328
00:20:26,191 --> 00:20:28,421
A great deal. Perhaps too much.

329
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,585
Twice married, twice divorced.

330
00:20:31,563 --> 00:20:33,497
But I didn't bring you here
to talk about myself.

331
00:20:33,599 --> 00:20:36,500
Well, you keep right on talking.
I'm just beginning to enjoy it.

332
00:20:36,835 --> 00:20:39,463
There was a fifth phone call from a man.

333
00:20:39,571 --> 00:20:42,267
A Dr. Homer Gleeson. Ever hear of him?

334
00:20:42,374 --> 00:20:46,071
Ten years ago when I left here, Gleeson was
the name all the young doctors looked up

335
00:20:46,178 --> 00:20:48,578
when they wanted a synonym
for "hitting the jackpot. "

336
00:20:48,714 --> 00:20:50,841
- What did he want?
- Your phone number.

337
00:20:50,949 --> 00:20:52,576
He's Rita Thornburg's doctor.

338
00:20:52,684 --> 00:20:56,017
He wants to thank you
for taking such good care of her.

339
00:20:56,121 --> 00:20:58,282
He also wants to see you.

340
00:20:58,690 --> 00:21:00,681
- Why?
- Are you interested?

341
00:21:00,892 --> 00:21:01,859
Should I be?

342
00:21:02,027 --> 00:21:06,464
I made an appointment for you.
He's expecting you at 3:00 this afternoon.

343
00:21:06,665 --> 00:21:10,726
Reasonover efficiency.
Is that the way your father made his fortune?

344
00:21:10,836 --> 00:21:12,531
Luncheon is served.

345
00:21:14,373 --> 00:21:16,739
It's the way he taught me to make mine.

346
00:21:20,512 --> 00:21:23,970
Well, I got you here on time.
Dr. Homer Gleeson's clinic.

347
00:21:26,051 --> 00:21:28,144
Colonel, are you married?

348
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:31,282
- No, are you?
- Not now. Let me know how you make out.

349
00:21:31,390 --> 00:21:33,756
- Yeah, I will.
- Will I see you later?

350
00:21:33,859 --> 00:21:37,386
- Don't you have anything else to do?
- Not for the next 24 hours.

351
00:21:37,496 --> 00:21:40,192
On my datebook it's "Tom Owen Day. "
Do you mind?

352
00:21:40,299 --> 00:21:43,063
- Not at all.
- Then I will see you later.

353
00:21:46,171 --> 00:21:48,969
Dr. Gleeson, Colonel Owen to see you.

354
00:21:49,608 --> 00:21:52,168
Colonel Owen. I'm glad you could make it.

355
00:21:52,277 --> 00:21:54,973
- How do you do, sir?
- I hope Mrs. Curtis told you.

356
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,174
I'm grateful for what you did
for Mrs. Thornburg last night.

357
00:21:58,317 --> 00:22:00,114
- Please sit down.
- Thanks.

358
00:22:00,352 --> 00:22:03,480
- Well, it could have been serious.
- It could have been, but it wasn't.

359
00:22:03,588 --> 00:22:05,852
Women aren't really cut out
for heavy drinking.

360
00:22:05,957 --> 00:22:10,417
I've explained that to Mrs. Thornburg
many times, but she keeps on trying.

361
00:22:11,163 --> 00:22:13,063
By the way, Mrs. Nelson called me.

362
00:22:13,165 --> 00:22:17,329
Mrs. Roger Nelson.
You made quite an impression on her.

363
00:22:17,602 --> 00:22:19,035
I don't remember her.

364
00:22:19,137 --> 00:22:21,867
She remembers you,
and that's what counts in Pittsburgh.

365
00:22:21,973 --> 00:22:26,273
She's Helen Curtis' aunt. The richest
and most influential woman in Pittsburgh.

366
00:22:26,378 --> 00:22:29,404
- One of your patients?
- For 20 years.

367
00:22:29,781 --> 00:22:32,944
She was very much impressed
with the way you handled Mrs. Thornburg.

368
00:22:33,051 --> 00:22:34,211
Well, as you know, Dr. Gleeson,

369
00:22:34,319 --> 00:22:37,811
a doctor doesn't have to do very much
to impress people.

370
00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:42,053
Well, I'm impressed.
This is your service record.

371
00:22:42,794 --> 00:22:47,424
I called some friends in Washington.
Penn '38, Phi Beta Kappa,

372
00:22:47,532 --> 00:22:52,299
Medical Corps, North Africa, Germany,
Korea. Distinguished Service Cross.

373
00:22:54,005 --> 00:22:56,269
They say you're quite a surgeon.

374
00:22:57,976 --> 00:23:00,308
I'm a man of quick decisions, Colonel.

375
00:23:00,412 --> 00:23:04,371
My associate, Dr. Parry,
is leaving me to open his own office.

376
00:23:04,516 --> 00:23:07,417
I like you and I like what your record says.

377
00:23:08,387 --> 00:23:12,255
I've decided that I'd like to have you with me
as an associate.

378
00:23:12,791 --> 00:23:15,851
I'm very flattered, Dr. Gleeson.

379
00:23:15,961 --> 00:23:17,724
Are you interested?

380
00:23:17,829 --> 00:23:20,059
I'm also still in the Army.

381
00:23:20,399 --> 00:23:23,562
Mrs. Curtis tells me that you might be
considering a change.

382
00:23:23,668 --> 00:23:26,466
Mrs. Curtis is assuming a great deal.

383
00:23:28,473 --> 00:23:30,304
Think it over, Colonel Owen.

384
00:23:30,409 --> 00:23:34,402
And if you decide to get out of uniform,
come in and see me again.

385
00:23:34,513 --> 00:23:37,573
- I'll do that. Thanks, Doctor. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

386
00:23:38,717 --> 00:23:41,845
- Mrs. Curtis is expecting me.
- Go right in.

387
00:23:45,257 --> 00:23:49,387
I've been out on the terrace several times,
looking for your distress signals.

388
00:23:49,494 --> 00:23:51,928
- I thought you were lost.
- I never get lost.

389
00:23:52,030 --> 00:23:55,193
That's encouraging.
I called Gleeson's office.

390
00:23:55,534 --> 00:23:58,628
- They said you left an hour ago.
- That's right.

391
00:23:59,604 --> 00:24:02,072
You certainly took your time getting here.

392
00:24:02,174 --> 00:24:04,369
I stopped for some cigarettes.

393
00:24:04,943 --> 00:24:06,535
I have cigarettes.

394
00:24:06,645 --> 00:24:08,112
I prefer my own.

395
00:24:11,316 --> 00:24:13,011
I don't like to be kept waiting.

396
00:24:13,118 --> 00:24:16,383
You'll learn if you hang around doctors
long enough.

397
00:24:16,521 --> 00:24:19,513
Well, which will it be, Colonel Owen
or Dr. Owen?

398
00:24:19,624 --> 00:24:23,321
I'll tell you what I don't like,
having my orders cut for me.

399
00:24:24,830 --> 00:24:27,128
People who can't make up their minds
always complain

400
00:24:27,232 --> 00:24:29,257
that other people are trying
to run their lives.

401
00:24:29,367 --> 00:24:33,201
- Isn't that what you're trying to do?
- Colonel, all I'm suggesting is that you take

402
00:24:33,305 --> 00:24:35,671
off your uniform and accept Gleeson's offer.

403
00:24:35,774 --> 00:24:37,207
His offer to do what?

404
00:24:37,309 --> 00:24:41,336
Patch up a bunch of neurotics
and rich alcoholics like Rita Thornburg?

405
00:24:41,513 --> 00:24:44,914
In the Army, I'm a doctor,
treating real patients. Here...

406
00:24:45,050 --> 00:24:46,813
The rich get just as sick as the poor.

407
00:24:46,918 --> 00:24:50,786
Of course they do, when they're really sick,
not developing imaginary illnesses.

408
00:24:50,889 --> 00:24:55,849
Colonel, I think you'd be very wise
to accept Dr. Gleeson's offer.

409
00:24:57,295 --> 00:25:01,425
- If I were wise, I wouldn't be here at all now.
- Where would you be?

410
00:25:03,001 --> 00:25:06,698
- Someplace where I could think.
- What's there to think about, Colonel?

411
00:25:06,872 --> 00:25:11,673
A group of miners in Essen, Germany.
The way their lungs looked in some X-rays.

412
00:25:11,776 --> 00:25:14,973
Another group of miners
who still live in the street where I was born.

413
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,241
The way their lungs are beginning
to look right now.

414
00:25:17,349 --> 00:25:18,748
It doesn't sound very pleasant.

415
00:25:18,850 --> 00:25:23,378
- Miners' diseases are never very pleasant.
- You know what's wrong with you?

416
00:25:23,655 --> 00:25:26,852
You think you're one of the Mayo Brothers.
You're not, you know.

417
00:25:26,958 --> 00:25:29,483
You're just another barrow boy who worked
for my father and managed to get

418
00:25:29,594 --> 00:25:31,323
the coal dust out from under his fingernails.

419
00:25:31,429 --> 00:25:32,453
I never denied it.

420
00:25:32,564 --> 00:25:35,158
You can fool Rita Thornburg
and those other silly women,

421
00:25:35,267 --> 00:25:38,964
but it takes more than a uniform, no matter
how attractively it's stuffed, to fool me.

422
00:25:39,070 --> 00:25:41,265
- Just what does it take?
- Brains.

423
00:25:41,406 --> 00:25:43,340
You and your miners and their diseases.

424
00:25:43,441 --> 00:25:45,238
If you cared anything about them,
you'd be down there

425
00:25:45,343 --> 00:25:47,368
in Coalville this minute, not here.

426
00:25:47,913 --> 00:25:49,244
Who do you think you're kidding, Colonel?

427
00:25:49,347 --> 00:25:51,372
- Not you, apparently.
- You bet you're not.

428
00:25:51,516 --> 00:25:53,575
My father once said,
"If you know where a man is from,

429
00:25:53,685 --> 00:25:55,243
"you can always tell where he wants to go. "

430
00:25:55,353 --> 00:25:59,289
And where you come from, Colonel,
people always pay their debts.

431
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:00,358
That's right.

432
00:26:00,458 --> 00:26:02,688
Then the only chance you've got
is by going with Gleeson.

433
00:26:02,961 --> 00:26:06,988
Not because I helped arrange it,
but because that's where you want to go.

434
00:26:07,098 --> 00:26:08,588
Now, please go.

435
00:26:09,901 --> 00:26:12,768
I've met women like you
in half the capitals of the world.

436
00:26:12,871 --> 00:26:15,635
You've been everywhere, done everything
and seen everything, had everything,

437
00:26:15,740 --> 00:26:19,699
- and it still isn't good enough.
- I'm not interested in your diagnosis.

438
00:26:29,054 --> 00:26:30,681
I wasted no time.

439
00:26:30,789 --> 00:26:33,451
I took the silver eagles from my shoulders

440
00:26:33,558 --> 00:26:36,891
and traded them for the keys
to my brand-new car.

441
00:26:41,399 --> 00:26:44,334
I removed my old identification bracelet,

442
00:26:46,671 --> 00:26:47,797
removed it for good,

443
00:26:47,906 --> 00:26:51,171
to replace it with an identification
that everyone could see,

444
00:26:51,309 --> 00:26:53,971
a passport to a world I always wanted.

445
00:26:55,146 --> 00:26:59,082
It was strange being out of uniform,
strange, but pleasant.

446
00:26:59,217 --> 00:27:02,983
Dr. Thomas Owen instead of Colonel.
Sounded good to me.

447
00:27:07,959 --> 00:27:11,258
- Miss Lasher, the doctor will see you now.
- Thank you.

448
00:27:20,572 --> 00:27:22,972
- Miss Lasher?
- Yes, Doctor.

449
00:27:23,241 --> 00:27:25,607
You come very highly recommended.

450
00:27:25,744 --> 00:27:27,871
- Sit down.
- Thank you.

451
00:27:31,316 --> 00:27:34,251
- Where did you study?
- Bellevue. Three years.

452
00:27:34,352 --> 00:27:38,721
- I took my state boards in New York.
- You're registered as a nurse in this state?

453
00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:40,958
Yes. I spent the past year
in the Graduate Hospital,

454
00:27:41,059 --> 00:27:42,583
University of Pennsylvania.

455
00:27:42,694 --> 00:27:45,288
- Penn? That's my school.
- I know.

456
00:27:45,830 --> 00:27:48,993
- What experience have you had?
- Two years in surgery.

457
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:50,897
But I can do general duty, too.

458
00:27:51,002 --> 00:27:53,300
Well, I need somebody
who can handle both.

459
00:27:53,405 --> 00:27:55,305
Any ideas about salary?

460
00:27:55,407 --> 00:28:00,037
The agency said 350 a month,
but that's not the main consideration.

461
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:01,501
What is?

462
00:28:01,613 --> 00:28:05,777
Well, I want to work for someone like you.
I want to work for a good surgeon.

463
00:28:06,084 --> 00:28:09,247
You see, I hope to go to medical school
myself someday.

464
00:28:09,354 --> 00:28:10,946
Any doctors in your family?

465
00:28:11,056 --> 00:28:14,082
My father is a general practitioner
in upstate New York.

466
00:28:14,192 --> 00:28:16,990
According to your record,
your last office position was

467
00:28:17,095 --> 00:28:20,223
with Dr. Merton in Philadelphia.
What made you leave?

468
00:28:20,331 --> 00:28:24,028
Well, I felt I needed more
hospital experience.

469
00:28:24,703 --> 00:28:27,331
That's why I went to the Graduate Hospital.

470
00:28:27,539 --> 00:28:29,336
- Age?
- Twenty-six.

471
00:28:29,507 --> 00:28:30,906
Married?

472
00:28:32,377 --> 00:28:35,039
Colonel... Dr. Owen speaking.

473
00:28:36,181 --> 00:28:37,478
Oh, hello, Helen.

474
00:28:37,582 --> 00:28:40,915
Your flowers came.
Made me feel like a bride.

475
00:28:41,553 --> 00:28:43,282
So far, wonderful.

476
00:28:44,122 --> 00:28:46,920
Oh, I'm interviewing nurses, of course.

477
00:28:47,792 --> 00:28:50,693
Don't be silly, darling.
Of course she'll be fat and ugly.

478
00:28:50,795 --> 00:28:53,491
I do insist on good legs, though.

479
00:28:54,165 --> 00:28:56,030
An hour'd be fine.

480
00:28:56,668 --> 00:28:59,899
'Course I called Mother.
She's coming up this afternoon.

481
00:29:00,071 --> 00:29:01,368
An hour then.

482
00:29:02,173 --> 00:29:07,509
- Now then, where were we?
- Whether I was married or not. I'm not.

483
00:29:08,580 --> 00:29:10,844
How did you know I went to Penn?

484
00:29:10,949 --> 00:29:12,280
I looked you up.

485
00:29:12,383 --> 00:29:15,181
You graduated in 1938.

486
00:29:19,290 --> 00:29:20,985
- Hello, Murphy?
- Yes, Doctor?

487
00:29:21,092 --> 00:29:23,788
Call the agency.
Tell them the position's filled.

488
00:29:25,230 --> 00:29:27,528
You mean I'm hired?

489
00:29:27,699 --> 00:29:29,963
Why not? You're fat and ugly, aren't you?

490
00:30:05,503 --> 00:30:08,836
- The doctor'll be right with you, Mrs. Owen.
- Thank you.

491
00:30:10,208 --> 00:30:13,871
- Looks like a flower show, doesn't it?
- Yes.

492
00:30:18,283 --> 00:30:20,513
I really wouldn't worry
if I were you, Mrs. Cartwright.

493
00:30:20,618 --> 00:30:22,950
- Can't thank you enough.
- Oh, hello, Mom.

494
00:30:23,955 --> 00:30:27,721
Lasher, would you make an appointment
for Thursday for Mrs. Cartwright?

495
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:30,886
Can't you make it for Friday, Tom?
I've got a dress fitting Thursday.

496
00:30:30,995 --> 00:30:32,895
Yes. Friday'd be fine.

497
00:30:32,997 --> 00:30:34,965
- Thank you.
- Goodbye then.

498
00:30:35,066 --> 00:30:36,966
- Till Friday.
- Goodbye.

499
00:30:38,703 --> 00:30:41,501
I'm sorry I kept you waiting, Mom.

500
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,734
- Pretty fancy, huh?
- Yes.

501
00:30:49,180 --> 00:30:50,704
Well, now...

502
00:30:52,016 --> 00:30:55,110
I can't tell you how pleased I am
that you came over here.

503
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:56,912
Here, sit down.

504
00:31:00,091 --> 00:31:01,922
Well, what do you think?

505
00:31:03,962 --> 00:31:07,921
I was in an office like this
once before. Floyd's.

506
00:31:08,967 --> 00:31:10,264
It ruined him.

507
00:31:10,568 --> 00:31:14,060
What ruined Floyd was that he forgot
he came out of a hole in the ground.

508
00:31:14,172 --> 00:31:16,106
He wanted a social career.

509
00:31:16,207 --> 00:31:18,437
I want only one thing, money.

510
00:31:19,944 --> 00:31:23,175
Look, Mom, I've got a chance at the jackpot.

511
00:31:23,281 --> 00:31:26,717
A lot of people with a lot of money think
I'm a colorful character.

512
00:31:26,818 --> 00:31:30,345
Because I have the right sponsorship,
they think I'm more than average.

513
00:31:30,455 --> 00:31:31,945
You are more than average.

514
00:31:32,056 --> 00:31:35,617
Well, I'm not, but by the time they find
that out, I'll have the security I want,

515
00:31:35,727 --> 00:31:37,092
then it won't matter.

516
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:39,628
You don't mean that. You're just saying it.

517
00:31:39,731 --> 00:31:41,824
How do you know what I mean?

518
00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:43,790
I'm your mother.

519
00:31:47,138 --> 00:31:50,005
When Floyd died,
how much did he owe Mr. Reasonover?

520
00:31:50,108 --> 00:31:53,771
Nothing. I've told you a dozen times,
Floyd did...

521
00:31:55,546 --> 00:31:59,346
- All this has nothing to do with Floyd.
- With what, then?

522
00:32:00,285 --> 00:32:02,981
With that hole in the ground we came out of.

523
00:32:03,821 --> 00:32:06,949
There isn't enough money in the world
to fill it.

524
00:32:07,692 --> 00:32:09,626
I'm going to try.

525
00:32:10,695 --> 00:32:12,322
When you were a little boy,

526
00:32:13,097 --> 00:32:17,227
when you first said to me you wanted
to be a doctor, I was so happy.

527
00:32:18,336 --> 00:32:20,998
I thought, "A doctor's like a priest.

528
00:32:21,239 --> 00:32:23,230
"My Tom'll be a doctor.

529
00:32:23,875 --> 00:32:26,139
"He'll be able to help people.

530
00:32:26,377 --> 00:32:29,039
- "He'll be like... "
- Like Doc Scobee?

531
00:32:29,247 --> 00:32:31,909
Living in a house on a hill
in the shadow of the tipple house,

532
00:32:32,016 --> 00:32:34,143
with a bunch of
"thank yous" to pay his bills?

533
00:32:34,319 --> 00:32:37,948
Oh, no. I served my time in the dirt.
I'm out now.

534
00:32:38,289 --> 00:32:40,723
I've got a chance at something better
and I'm going to take it.

535
00:32:40,825 --> 00:32:44,886
A lot of things look good until you get them,
especially expensive women.

536
00:32:45,029 --> 00:32:47,930
If you mean Helen, Mom,
you don't know what you're talking about.

537
00:32:48,032 --> 00:32:50,125
I wish I could believe that.

538
00:32:52,337 --> 00:32:56,569
Those holes in the ground that we came
out of, money can't fill them.

539
00:32:57,608 --> 00:33:00,076
They're filled in just one way.

540
00:33:00,311 --> 00:33:02,541
The way Floyd filled his.

541
00:33:11,556 --> 00:33:12,921
- Good night, Doctor.
- Good night, Ada.

542
00:33:13,024 --> 00:33:15,618
I'm glad you were able to make it.
I'll be looking forward to the...

543
00:33:15,727 --> 00:33:18,696
And another thing, I can't decide who's
telling me the truth,

544
00:33:18,796 --> 00:33:21,765
the doctor from Vienna
or the doctor from Paris.

545
00:33:21,866 --> 00:33:23,197
Now, my pain is here.

546
00:33:23,301 --> 00:33:27,431
And especially when it rains.
Doctor, you tell me, what do you think it is?

547
00:33:27,538 --> 00:33:31,065
Well, the first lecture I ever attended
in medical school, Mrs. Norton...

548
00:33:31,175 --> 00:33:33,109
- Yes, Doctor.
- The professor told us never to give

549
00:33:33,211 --> 00:33:35,270
medical advice at cocktail parties.

550
00:33:35,380 --> 00:33:37,644
However, if you'd care to make
an appointment at my office,

551
00:33:37,749 --> 00:33:40,445
I'm sure we can settle the argument
between Paris and Vienna.

552
00:33:40,551 --> 00:33:43,247
Oh, thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much.

553
00:33:43,354 --> 00:33:46,517
Helen. Helen, I think he's marvelous.

554
00:33:46,624 --> 00:33:47,886
He's not like some of these other doctors

555
00:33:47,992 --> 00:33:49,550
that tell you there's nothing wrong with you.

556
00:33:49,660 --> 00:33:51,389
- Now, this Dr. Owen...
- Be sure to make an appointment

557
00:33:51,496 --> 00:33:53,521
for your mother.
Dr. Owen's very good on arthritis.

558
00:33:53,631 --> 00:33:55,929
- I will. Good night.
- Good night.

559
00:34:00,571 --> 00:34:03,438
The Battle of the Bulge
was nothing compared to this.

560
00:34:04,108 --> 00:34:07,043
Isn't this epidemic of parties
ever going to stop?

561
00:34:07,178 --> 00:34:09,408
Darling, all my friends want to meet you.

562
00:34:09,814 --> 00:34:11,179
Monday, it was the Truesdales.

563
00:34:11,282 --> 00:34:13,910
Tuesday, the Nicollettis.
Last night, your aunt's.

564
00:34:14,085 --> 00:34:15,848
Can't I ever see you alone?

565
00:34:15,987 --> 00:34:18,285
Darling, we are alone.

566
00:34:18,823 --> 00:34:21,383
You know, I think you've had enough.

567
00:34:21,692 --> 00:34:23,216
Who says so?

568
00:34:23,728 --> 00:34:25,457
Your doctor, that's who.

569
00:34:25,563 --> 00:34:28,225
When I want your professional advice,
I'll ask for it.

570
00:34:28,332 --> 00:34:30,061
I said you've had enough.

571
00:34:31,202 --> 00:34:34,171
I've lived this way far too long
for anyone to start dictating,

572
00:34:34,272 --> 00:34:35,864
even on a professional level.

573
00:34:35,973 --> 00:34:39,841
- I merely said you drink too much.
- Maybe I do.

574
00:34:39,944 --> 00:34:43,380
You think my life is a merry-go-round. It is.

575
00:34:44,082 --> 00:34:47,313
But you get dizzy going round and round,

576
00:34:48,119 --> 00:34:52,419
and never being able to get off.
That's why I drink.

577
00:34:52,657 --> 00:34:55,592
- You drink because you're insecure.
- Maybe I am,

578
00:34:56,260 --> 00:34:59,821
- but I like what I am and what I do.
- I don't.

579
00:35:06,003 --> 00:35:09,939
In that case, you'd better find
yourself another merry-go-round.

580
00:35:10,441 --> 00:35:13,740
Helen, let's not quarrel.

581
00:35:14,312 --> 00:35:16,644
I don't like to quarrel either.

582
00:35:18,249 --> 00:35:21,082
Then can't we work out
some sort of an armistice?

583
00:35:21,185 --> 00:35:23,653
I'm willing to declare a truce if you are.

584
00:35:30,495 --> 00:35:33,987
Six karat, emerald cut, platinum setting.

585
00:35:34,098 --> 00:35:36,123
I know she'll be very pleased, Doctor.

586
00:35:36,234 --> 00:35:39,431
- There's a Dr. Crowley to see you.
- Dr. Crowley? Who's he?

587
00:35:39,537 --> 00:35:42,370
- He says he knew you in Europe, Doctor.
- In a second.

588
00:35:42,473 --> 00:35:43,735
Well, I'll send you a check.

589
00:35:43,841 --> 00:35:46,401
Thank you very much.
And best of luck to you.

590
00:35:46,511 --> 00:35:47,808
Thank you.

591
00:35:58,422 --> 00:36:00,720
- Dr. Owen?
- Come in. Come in.

592
00:36:04,529 --> 00:36:07,123
Don't you remember me? Jim Crowley.

593
00:36:07,365 --> 00:36:09,299
- Crowley?
- Sergeant Crowley.

594
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,335
- I was in your unit. I was with you in Italy.
- Oh, of course.

595
00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:15,564
Well, what brings you here?

596
00:36:16,007 --> 00:36:19,238
Well, I'm a doctor now.
When I last saw you, I was only a student.

597
00:36:19,510 --> 00:36:22,536
Doctor, huh? Well, congratulations.
Sit down.

598
00:36:22,713 --> 00:36:25,079
- Thank you.
- You practicing in Pittsburgh?

599
00:36:25,183 --> 00:36:26,775
No. In Philadelphia.

600
00:36:26,918 --> 00:36:30,581
That's all I have been doing
since I left the Army. Practicing.

601
00:36:30,855 --> 00:36:33,551
I spent eight months in charity wards.

602
00:36:33,691 --> 00:36:36,159
Well, that's good experience.

603
00:36:36,260 --> 00:36:38,854
Experience for what, I sometimes wonder.

604
00:36:39,597 --> 00:36:41,588
It's not easy to break in.

605
00:36:42,767 --> 00:36:44,394
Doctor,

606
00:36:45,703 --> 00:36:49,036
I don't want to impose on you,
but I need a job.

607
00:36:49,373 --> 00:36:52,342
I'd be very grateful for the opportunity
to work with you.

608
00:36:52,510 --> 00:36:54,171
I have my Pennsylvania license...

609
00:36:54,278 --> 00:36:56,473
I know what you're going through,
believe me,

610
00:36:56,581 --> 00:36:59,106
and maybe before long I'll be in a position
to help you, but right now...

611
00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:01,447
Look, it isn't a question of money.

612
00:37:01,552 --> 00:37:04,988
Well, I mean, money isn't the big thing.

613
00:37:05,523 --> 00:37:08,424
It's just the opportunity to work with you.

614
00:37:08,793 --> 00:37:11,853
Well, thanks for your interest, Crowley.

615
00:37:12,263 --> 00:37:16,097
Tell you what. Let me think it over,
see what I can work out.

616
00:37:16,334 --> 00:37:18,393
Can I reach you by phone sometime?

617
00:37:20,004 --> 00:37:20,971
Yes, sir.

618
00:37:21,072 --> 00:37:25,099
You leave your phone number
with Miss Lasher, and I'll call you up.

619
00:37:26,043 --> 00:37:28,841
- I will.
- Nice to have seen you, Crowley.

620
00:37:29,447 --> 00:37:30,914
Thank you.

621
00:37:34,885 --> 00:37:36,216
Any luck?

622
00:37:36,387 --> 00:37:38,855
Oh, not much, I'm afraid.
Thank you very much.

623
00:37:38,956 --> 00:37:41,186
Dr. Owen remembered you, didn't he?

624
00:37:41,459 --> 00:37:43,552
Oh, yes. Yes, of course.

625
00:37:43,661 --> 00:37:45,891
Didn't he ask you to leave
your phone number?

626
00:37:45,997 --> 00:37:48,397
- Why, yes, he did, but I thought...
- Then you'd better do it.

627
00:37:48,499 --> 00:37:51,866
When Dr. Owen says he's going
to do something, you can be sure he will.

628
00:37:51,969 --> 00:37:53,960
You can take my word for it. I know him.

629
00:37:54,138 --> 00:37:57,039
That's very kind of you
to take such an interest. Thank you.

630
00:37:57,141 --> 00:37:59,302
Where can we reach you, Dr. Crowley?

631
00:37:59,410 --> 00:38:01,469
Oh, I'm staying at the Y.

632
00:38:01,679 --> 00:38:04,147
- I don't know what the number is.
- I'll look it up. Goodbye.

633
00:38:04,248 --> 00:38:05,579
Thank you.

634
00:38:25,569 --> 00:38:28,094
- Martini?
- Love one.

635
00:38:28,472 --> 00:38:32,704
Be right out. Darling, did Joyce Fenton
drop in and see you today?

636
00:38:32,810 --> 00:38:35,745
Yeah, she's coming in
for a checkup tomorrow.

637
00:38:40,151 --> 00:38:42,278
You certainly seem
bright and cheerful tonight.

638
00:38:42,386 --> 00:38:43,853
Well, I feel good.

639
00:38:43,988 --> 00:38:47,890
Now, after a long, hard day,
a doctor's fancies lightly turn

640
00:38:47,992 --> 00:38:50,460
to thoughts of a quiet, romantic dinner.

641
00:38:50,594 --> 00:38:52,755
Are you in the mood
for candlelight and dark corners?

642
00:38:52,863 --> 00:38:55,354
I've nothing against them
on the proper occasion.

643
00:38:55,633 --> 00:38:59,797
Here's to candlelight,
dark corners and the proper occasion.

644
00:39:01,572 --> 00:39:03,563
- What's wrong?
- What's in this drink?

645
00:39:03,674 --> 00:39:06,871
Gin, vermouth, ice cubes.
New way to make it. Why?

646
00:39:07,044 --> 00:39:09,274
It's a ring.

647
00:39:09,947 --> 00:39:12,916
Probably one of those fake ice cubes
some joker left at your last party.

648
00:39:13,017 --> 00:39:14,177
I'll make you a fresh one.

649
00:39:14,285 --> 00:39:16,185
Make it exactly like this one.

650
00:39:16,287 --> 00:39:18,312
Gin, vermouth and diamonds.

651
00:39:18,622 --> 00:39:20,351
It's beautiful. Simply beautiful.

652
00:39:20,524 --> 00:39:21,923
Well, you know, there's a catch to it.

653
00:39:22,026 --> 00:39:25,655
A struggling doctor can't afford to pass
those things out for free.

654
00:39:26,030 --> 00:39:27,930
I want you to marry me.

655
00:39:30,167 --> 00:39:32,067
I'd like to marry you.

656
00:39:32,470 --> 00:39:36,372
If you're sure you want someone
who's spoiled and selfish.

657
00:39:37,074 --> 00:39:40,271
- You still don't know anything about me.
- What else is there to know?

658
00:39:40,378 --> 00:39:43,313
You don't know about the men I've married
and the men I've almost married.

659
00:39:43,414 --> 00:39:45,712
Let's stick to the man you're going to marry.

660
00:39:45,850 --> 00:39:48,580
Of course, darling, I have some virtues, too.

661
00:39:48,686 --> 00:39:50,677
I play the piano like a talented nine-year-old.

662
00:39:50,788 --> 00:39:52,415
We'll get you some more lessons.

663
00:39:52,523 --> 00:39:56,983
And I speak the kind of French that makes
a Paris waiter add 20% to your bill.

664
00:39:57,695 --> 00:39:59,162
Anything else?

665
00:39:59,497 --> 00:40:01,158
And I love you.

666
00:40:06,871 --> 00:40:09,237
- Good morning, Lasher.
- Good morning.

667
00:40:09,340 --> 00:40:11,968
Well, what have we got on the schedule
for today?

668
00:40:12,076 --> 00:40:15,045
- Mrs. Allison...
- Acute gastritis.

669
00:40:15,146 --> 00:40:17,376
- Mrs. Broder...
- Intestinal stasis.

670
00:40:17,481 --> 00:40:19,676
- Mrs. Pinkley.
- Colitis.

671
00:40:19,784 --> 00:40:21,752
All fancy names for indigestion.

672
00:40:21,852 --> 00:40:24,480
They could cure themselves
with 10 cents' worth of baking soda.

673
00:40:24,588 --> 00:40:27,216
Doctor, there's something
I wanted to ask you.

674
00:40:27,324 --> 00:40:28,814
- Of course.
- It's about Dr. Crowley.

675
00:40:28,926 --> 00:40:31,759
Crowley? Oh, yes, the Sergeant.

676
00:40:32,663 --> 00:40:34,187
Did you know him before?

677
00:40:34,298 --> 00:40:36,732
No. I only met him in the reception room
before you saw him.

678
00:40:36,834 --> 00:40:38,597
We talked. And then I saw him again

679
00:40:38,702 --> 00:40:41,000
going to lunch at the drugstore,
and we ate together.

680
00:40:41,105 --> 00:40:44,404
- Attractive, isn't he?
- He's not just a surgeon looking for a job.

681
00:40:44,508 --> 00:40:49,309
It's much deeper and more important.
Only he couldn't tell you that.

682
00:40:49,413 --> 00:40:50,971
Couldn't tell me what?

683
00:40:51,081 --> 00:40:54,016
If it weren't for you,
he wouldn't have gone back into medicine.

684
00:40:54,218 --> 00:40:55,708
What did I have to do with it?

685
00:40:55,820 --> 00:40:59,187
When he became a graduate doctor
and saw what was going on around him,

686
00:40:59,290 --> 00:41:03,351
doctors caring more for money
than for medicine, he decided to quit.

687
00:41:03,461 --> 00:41:04,894
If he was that easily disillusioned,

688
00:41:04,995 --> 00:41:07,225
he shouldn't have become a doctor
in the first place.

689
00:41:07,331 --> 00:41:10,129
No, you're wrong.
He always wanted to be a doctor,

690
00:41:10,234 --> 00:41:12,794
but on his own terms. The right terms.

691
00:41:12,903 --> 00:41:15,701
And meeting you in the service
and watching you work

692
00:41:15,806 --> 00:41:17,706
reminded him
how much he'd really wanted it.

693
00:41:18,309 --> 00:41:20,903
He told me about that time at Anzio,

694
00:41:21,011 --> 00:41:24,572
how you talked to the men,
how you gave them confidence.

695
00:41:24,682 --> 00:41:27,344
There was nothing else to do, so I talked.

696
00:41:28,953 --> 00:41:34,448
- I didn't know it impressed anybody.
- You changed Jim Crowley's mind.

697
00:41:34,558 --> 00:41:36,958
He realized what a real doctor could be.

698
00:41:37,294 --> 00:41:40,730
And when he was discharged,
he went back into practice.

699
00:41:42,233 --> 00:41:43,791
I know I have no right to bother you
with this,

700
00:41:43,901 --> 00:41:47,496
but it just seems to me, when someone
wants to become a surgeon so badly,

701
00:41:47,671 --> 00:41:50,504
well, he should get a chance.
He depends on you.

702
00:41:50,608 --> 00:41:52,098
He admires you so much.

703
00:41:52,209 --> 00:41:55,701
Well, if I knew of an opening,
I'd be glad to...

704
00:41:55,813 --> 00:41:57,371
Say, I just thought of something.

705
00:41:57,681 --> 00:42:00,172
I think maybe we can put
your Dr. Crowley in business.

706
00:42:00,284 --> 00:42:02,445
Get me Doc Scobee on the phone, will you?

707
00:42:05,256 --> 00:42:08,783
Sure you have no personal interest
in this young man, Lasher?

708
00:42:08,893 --> 00:42:10,952
Not at all. I told you that.

709
00:42:12,663 --> 00:42:14,858
Just a moment, please. Here's Dr. Scobee.

710
00:42:14,965 --> 00:42:18,128
Thank you. Hello, Doc. It's Tom Owen.

711
00:42:19,003 --> 00:42:22,734
I think I've found somebody for that job
we were talking about.

712
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,037
Sure, he's competent.
He's got a good background.

713
00:42:26,143 --> 00:42:28,111
Needs the job, too.

714
00:42:30,014 --> 00:42:31,003
Yeah, he's young.

715
00:42:31,115 --> 00:42:36,018
He's already charmed my nurse.
His name's Crowley, Jim Crowley.

716
00:42:37,955 --> 00:42:41,891
I'll have him come see you then.
I think you'll like him.

717
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,921
Not at all. Glad to do it, Doc. Goodbye.

718
00:42:47,031 --> 00:42:49,795
Dr. Crowley will be so pleased
if it works out.

719
00:42:49,900 --> 00:42:51,094
He should be.

720
00:42:51,201 --> 00:42:53,192
You'd better get him on the phone
and have him go see Scobee.

721
00:42:53,304 --> 00:42:54,669
Yes, Doctor.

722
00:43:02,446 --> 00:43:06,314
All right, you can button your shirt now.
I think these pills will do the trick.

723
00:43:07,418 --> 00:43:10,387
I'd like you to take one of these
every three hours.

724
00:43:12,189 --> 00:43:14,350
Are you the new assistant
helping Dr. Scobee?

725
00:43:14,458 --> 00:43:15,686
Yep, I'm brand-new.

726
00:43:18,362 --> 00:43:19,659
How much do I owe you for these?

727
00:43:19,763 --> 00:43:21,788
The pills are on the house on one condition.

728
00:43:21,899 --> 00:43:22,923
What's that?

729
00:43:23,033 --> 00:43:26,059
That you come back next week,
and let me see how much good they've done.

730
00:43:26,170 --> 00:43:28,934
I'll do that, Doc.
It's nice having you here in Coalville.

731
00:43:29,039 --> 00:43:31,599
- Thanks, Pete. Nice to be here.
- Be seeing you, Doc.

732
00:43:31,709 --> 00:43:32,698
- Right.
- See you around.

733
00:43:32,810 --> 00:43:33,777
Bye.

734
00:43:37,715 --> 00:43:39,012
Come in.

735
00:43:41,819 --> 00:43:43,912
I hope you don't mind
my dropping in this way.

736
00:43:44,021 --> 00:43:45,750
Mind? It's a pleasure.

737
00:43:45,856 --> 00:43:47,824
I wanted to see how you were doing.

738
00:43:47,925 --> 00:43:49,950
Well, according to Dr. Scobee,
I'm doing just fine.

739
00:43:50,060 --> 00:43:51,687
I've been on the job exactly two days,

740
00:43:51,795 --> 00:43:56,232
and I've had one simple fracture,
two whooping cough, one skin rash...

741
00:43:57,735 --> 00:43:59,032
I guess I sound sort of silly.

742
00:43:59,136 --> 00:44:01,468
- No, you sound fine.
- Well, everybody's been wonderful.

743
00:44:01,572 --> 00:44:04,040
Dr. Scobee, Dr. Owen, you...

744
00:44:05,476 --> 00:44:07,341
Well, what's this?

745
00:44:07,444 --> 00:44:10,174
Gray's Anatomy
and Bell's Textbook of Pathology.

746
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,840
Dr. Owen sent them over
as a good-luck present.

747
00:44:12,950 --> 00:44:16,010
- How can I ever thank him?
- By doing just what you're doing.

748
00:44:17,755 --> 00:44:19,552
And this is from me.

749
00:44:19,957 --> 00:44:21,356
Well!

750
00:44:27,297 --> 00:44:30,960
- A letter opener.
- No doctor should be without one.

751
00:44:31,068 --> 00:44:32,262
You use it this way,

752
00:44:32,369 --> 00:44:36,533
to tick off serious symptoms on your fingers
and impress your patients.

753
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:37,834
Does it also open letters?

754
00:44:37,941 --> 00:44:39,875
Only when they contain checks.

755
00:44:39,977 --> 00:44:43,845
This and the scalpel. I'm in business.

756
00:44:45,616 --> 00:44:47,311
"It seems that the only two people surprised

757
00:44:47,418 --> 00:44:50,182
"by the engagement of Helen Curtis
and Dr. Thomas Owen

758
00:44:50,921 --> 00:44:55,085
"are Helen Curtis and Dr. Thomas Owen. "
Is this true?

759
00:44:55,192 --> 00:44:57,422
There's no need to sound
like a district attorney, Dan.

760
00:44:57,528 --> 00:44:59,928
Of course it's true.
We were going to tell you tonight.

761
00:45:00,030 --> 00:45:03,431
I'd better tell you a few things first.
You know what Helen means to me.

762
00:45:03,534 --> 00:45:05,832
I'd do anything in the world
to make her happy.

763
00:45:06,403 --> 00:45:07,700
You don't know what you're stepping into.

764
00:45:07,805 --> 00:45:10,706
- I'll take my chances on it.
- You'll never get a chance.

765
00:45:11,642 --> 00:45:14,076
It's not easy for a man to say things like this
about his own daughter,

766
00:45:14,178 --> 00:45:17,579
but she'll destroy you
the same way she destroyed the others.

767
00:45:17,681 --> 00:45:19,774
Her backyard is full of the bones
of explorers.

768
00:45:19,883 --> 00:45:21,748
- I don't care about the others.
- Neither do I.

769
00:45:21,852 --> 00:45:25,652
All they ever wanted was her money.
Maybe that's all she had to offer.

770
00:45:25,756 --> 00:45:27,189
When she was 21, I gave her a fortune.

771
00:45:27,291 --> 00:45:32,194
The parasites of two continents clustered
around her like bees around a honey pot.

772
00:45:32,563 --> 00:45:34,963
I'm interested in your daughter,
not her money.

773
00:45:37,801 --> 00:45:40,065
Maybe right now you're not.

774
00:45:40,170 --> 00:45:44,004
Funny thing about money,
it's very easy to get used to.

775
00:45:45,309 --> 00:45:47,641
I don't want you to be like the others, Tom.

776
00:45:48,078 --> 00:45:52,879
I want you to be a man with a profession,
not just the husband of a rich woman.

777
00:45:53,684 --> 00:45:57,882
Look, I'm a doctor. I'll always be a doctor,
no matter whom I marry.

778
00:45:57,988 --> 00:45:59,114
Are you sure?

779
00:45:59,223 --> 00:46:01,521
You had a good reputation
when you came back here.

780
00:46:01,625 --> 00:46:02,785
What are you now?

781
00:46:02,893 --> 00:46:04,884
Just one of Gleeson's
high-priced pill-pushers.

782
00:46:04,995 --> 00:46:08,396
- What's Gleeson got to do with this?
- Maybe more than you think.

783
00:46:10,601 --> 00:46:13,161
I wouldn't trust him to operate
on a hangnail. And, if you don't watch out,

784
00:46:13,270 --> 00:46:16,068
nobody with any respect for the medical
profession will trust you, either.

785
00:46:16,173 --> 00:46:18,232
And that's when she'll turn on you,
when nobody wants you,

786
00:46:18,342 --> 00:46:21,505
because there won't be anything left
of the Tom Owen she married.

787
00:46:21,812 --> 00:46:24,337
You think you picked Helen for what she is,
not for what she has.

788
00:46:24,448 --> 00:46:26,882
But what she is may hurt you,
may hurt you both.

789
00:46:27,885 --> 00:46:30,718
Don't let her change you. I'm warning you.

790
00:46:31,622 --> 00:46:34,147
I'm going to marry her,
no matter what you say.

791
00:46:36,627 --> 00:46:38,788
I hope it works, Tom.

792
00:46:40,631 --> 00:46:42,030
I really hope so.

793
00:46:47,571 --> 00:46:49,300
The big parade continued.

794
00:46:49,406 --> 00:46:53,866
Recommended by Helen Curtis,
I was the new pet of café society.

795
00:46:53,977 --> 00:46:59,005
It soon became a mark of social distinction
to be a patient of Dr. Thomas Owen.

796
00:46:59,116 --> 00:47:01,448
I sometimes remembered
the Hippocratic oath.

797
00:47:01,552 --> 00:47:03,452
"I swear by Apollo the physician

798
00:47:03,554 --> 00:47:07,285
"I will follow that method of treatment which,
according to my ability and judgment,

799
00:47:07,391 --> 00:47:10,053
"I consider for the benefit of my patients. "

800
00:47:11,261 --> 00:47:12,694
You tickle.

801
00:47:13,864 --> 00:47:16,833
For the benefit of my patients,
Gleeson's patients.

802
00:47:16,934 --> 00:47:19,562
But when I got too upset,
I tried to remember one thing,

803
00:47:19,670 --> 00:47:21,103
my bank account.

804
00:47:21,205 --> 00:47:23,605
I'm afraid
you'll have to cut down on cigarettes.

805
00:47:23,707 --> 00:47:26,574
No, seriously, am I all right?

806
00:47:26,677 --> 00:47:29,043
You just need something
to quiet your nerves.

807
00:47:29,146 --> 00:47:31,876
Oh, I'm so sorry
to have caused you all this trouble, Tom.

808
00:47:31,982 --> 00:47:34,348
No trouble at all, Lucille,
as long as you feel relieved.

809
00:47:34,451 --> 00:47:35,850
I certainly do.

810
00:47:35,953 --> 00:47:39,650
I'm glad I was able to help.
You can get dressed now, Lucille.

811
00:47:39,756 --> 00:47:41,986
Will I see you
at the Sutton's party Friday night?

812
00:47:42,092 --> 00:47:44,652
- Helen did say something about it. Yes.
- Good.

813
00:47:44,761 --> 00:47:47,286
And I hope you'll recognize me
with my clothes on.

814
00:47:53,503 --> 00:47:54,970
Did you find anything wrong
with Miss Grellett?

815
00:47:55,072 --> 00:47:57,165
- There was nothing to find.
- I figured that.

816
00:47:57,274 --> 00:47:59,606
The lengths to which that type will go
to get attention.

817
00:47:59,710 --> 00:48:03,146
She got attention. $250 worth.

818
00:48:06,483 --> 00:48:09,247
Crowley. Sorry to have kept you waiting.

819
00:48:09,386 --> 00:48:11,411
I understand. The patients come first.

820
00:48:11,521 --> 00:48:13,250
Well, how have you been getting on
with Doc Scobee?

821
00:48:13,357 --> 00:48:15,791
- Can't complain.
- I'll be with you in a minute.

822
00:48:15,893 --> 00:48:18,521
- Sure.
- Just let me fill out this prescription.

823
00:48:18,629 --> 00:48:22,429
Excuse me, Doctor. Mrs. Rogers will be here
in a few minutes for her vitamin shot.

824
00:48:22,532 --> 00:48:24,557
- I told her you'd see her.
- All right.

825
00:48:24,668 --> 00:48:27,967
This is for Miss Grellett.
One every three hours.

826
00:48:29,039 --> 00:48:31,234
The same thing, headache pills?

827
00:48:31,341 --> 00:48:34,105
You know the ones.
Tell her I'll call her in the morning.

828
00:48:34,311 --> 00:48:35,278
Yes, Doctor.

829
00:48:37,714 --> 00:48:41,172
Well, if pills will make them happy,
I give them pills.

830
00:48:45,289 --> 00:48:47,519
Most of them are suffering
from just one thing,

831
00:48:47,624 --> 00:48:48,921
too much time on their hands.

832
00:48:49,026 --> 00:48:51,893
An ailment from which
my patients can't suffer.

833
00:48:51,995 --> 00:48:54,691
Look, if you're trying to say
I'm not really practicing medicine

834
00:48:54,798 --> 00:48:56,060
why don't you say so?

835
00:48:56,333 --> 00:49:02,101
Oh, I wasn't saying anything about you.
I was talking about my patients.

836
00:49:03,407 --> 00:49:06,740
Of course, you know
how patients are in a small town.

837
00:49:07,344 --> 00:49:11,075
They expect a doctor to be
something more than just a doctor.

838
00:49:11,181 --> 00:49:16,278
They expect him to be a minister,
a lawyer, even a banker occasionally.

839
00:49:16,987 --> 00:49:18,978
In a small way. In a very small way.

840
00:49:21,425 --> 00:49:25,054
Of course, it doesn't come
to anything like this.

841
00:49:25,796 --> 00:49:28,856
But it all adds up to quite a lot.

842
00:49:29,900 --> 00:49:32,767
- And I like it.
- You'd be crazy if you didn't.

843
00:49:34,738 --> 00:49:37,832
Look at me. Prescribing headache pills,

844
00:49:38,442 --> 00:49:41,673
giving vitamin injections, hangover cures...

845
00:49:42,612 --> 00:49:46,207
Oh, well. What's the difference?
As long as the checks don't bounce.

846
00:49:46,683 --> 00:49:51,211
- Well, if that's the way you feel about it...
- That's the way I feel about it.

847
00:49:52,689 --> 00:49:56,250
Now then, what was this you were saying
on the phone about some of the miners?

848
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,828
Well, Dr. Scobee said
that you once looked at some of his plates.

849
00:49:58,929 --> 00:50:00,954
I have some new X-rays here
I'd like you to look at,

850
00:50:01,064 --> 00:50:03,055
but I don't want to take up
too much of your time.

851
00:50:03,166 --> 00:50:04,599
I'd be glad to look at them.

852
00:50:09,373 --> 00:50:11,534
- Yes?
- Mrs. Hardy is waiting, Doctor.

853
00:50:12,309 --> 00:50:15,142
- In a second.
- I guess I did pick the wrong time.

854
00:50:15,245 --> 00:50:18,408
Well, maybe it'd be better
if I ran up to Coalville

855
00:50:18,515 --> 00:50:20,983
and examine the miners themselves.

856
00:50:21,084 --> 00:50:23,518
What would be a good time
for you tomorrow?

857
00:50:23,620 --> 00:50:26,453
Well, I could bring some of the men
in about 4:30.

858
00:50:29,459 --> 00:50:31,654
What have I got after 4:30 tomorrow?

859
00:50:31,762 --> 00:50:34,959
- Miss Cartwright is coming in.
- Well, put that off till Friday.

860
00:50:37,768 --> 00:50:40,532
- I'll be there tomorrow.
- Thanks a lot.

861
00:50:44,975 --> 00:50:47,102
Be sure to give my best to Doc Scobee.

862
00:50:47,210 --> 00:50:48,802
I will. Thank you.

863
00:50:53,450 --> 00:50:57,443
That Miss Grellett,
perpetual hangover would be my diagnosis.

864
00:50:57,554 --> 00:50:59,954
What do you prescribe, Doctor?
Alcoholics Anonymous?

865
00:51:00,057 --> 00:51:03,254
I'll take care of the prescriptions.
Put down acute gastritis.

866
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,089
- Very well, Doctor.
- Tom.

867
00:51:06,897 --> 00:51:09,798
- You doing anything for lunch tomorrow?
- I don't think so.

868
00:51:09,900 --> 00:51:13,097
Walter Ross is in from New York,
and I was wondering

869
00:51:13,203 --> 00:51:16,229
whether you could meet him at the club
and play a round of golf with him.

870
00:51:16,339 --> 00:51:17,328
He'd like to talk to you

871
00:51:17,441 --> 00:51:20,205
about the consulting fee arrangement
I mentioned to you.

872
00:51:20,377 --> 00:51:23,210
- I'm going to be out of town for the day.
- I'll be glad to.

873
00:51:27,717 --> 00:51:31,710
Lasher, I have an appointment
to look at some of Dr. Crowley's patients

874
00:51:31,822 --> 00:51:35,087
in Coalville tomorrow at 4:30.
Please remind me.

875
00:51:35,192 --> 00:51:37,217
I won't forget, Doctor.

876
00:51:40,730 --> 00:51:44,131
Tom, Tom, I'm so sorry I'm late.
Nurse, take care of Pinky.

877
00:51:44,234 --> 00:51:46,566
- Yes, Mrs. Rogers.
- Now, Pinky, you be a good little girl.

878
00:51:46,670 --> 00:51:50,470
- It was Pinky's fault that I was late.
- It's quite all right, Mrs. Rogers.

879
00:51:57,981 --> 00:52:00,916
- George agrees I'm a little fast.
- Better luck next time.

880
00:52:01,017 --> 00:52:02,006
Well, thank you.

881
00:52:02,119 --> 00:52:05,555
As a matter of fact, Tom, I could
revolutionize the practice of medicine

882
00:52:05,655 --> 00:52:08,089
by prescribing a mop
and a book of instructions

883
00:52:08,191 --> 00:52:11,524
for every neurotic woman
who ever came to consult me.

884
00:52:11,628 --> 00:52:13,687
They'd lose that tired feeling in no time.

885
00:52:13,997 --> 00:52:15,794
Yes, he's right here.

886
00:52:15,899 --> 00:52:18,197
- It's for you, Dr. Owen.
- Oh, thanks, George.

887
00:52:18,301 --> 00:52:20,826
Hello? Oh, hi, darling.

888
00:52:21,371 --> 00:52:24,772
You caught me just as we were starting out.
What's up?

889
00:52:24,875 --> 00:52:28,641
Well, her stomach hurts. She's in great pain,
and I can't locate Gleeson.

890
00:52:31,381 --> 00:52:33,144
No, I think it's serious.

891
00:52:34,651 --> 00:52:37,620
Well, put an ice pack on it.
I'll be over right away.

892
00:52:39,923 --> 00:52:42,721
This is Dr. Owen.
Get my office for me, will you, please?

893
00:52:42,826 --> 00:52:45,386
Sorry, Walter. I'm afraid
we're going to have to forget our golf game.

894
00:52:45,495 --> 00:52:48,328
- Oh, something serious?
- Oh, I don't think so.

895
00:52:48,431 --> 00:52:49,955
Hello, Lasher?

896
00:52:50,066 --> 00:52:52,057
Look, see if you can locate Dr. Gleeson.

897
00:52:52,169 --> 00:52:54,933
Tell him he's wanted
at Mrs. Nelson's house right away.

898
00:52:55,038 --> 00:52:57,131
I'm going over there myself.

899
00:52:58,041 --> 00:52:59,565
Well, call Crowley and tell him

900
00:52:59,676 --> 00:53:02,338
I won't be able to keep
my Coalville appointment today.

901
00:53:11,288 --> 00:53:13,256
We were just about to have tea
when her attack came.

902
00:53:13,356 --> 00:53:17,156
She's had them before.
She didn't want me to call.

903
00:53:22,065 --> 00:53:24,124
Well, what's this all about, Mrs. Nelson?

904
00:53:24,234 --> 00:53:26,759
- Where's Homer Gleeson?
- He'll be along shortly.

905
00:53:26,870 --> 00:53:29,771
What's all the fuss?
It's only a stomach ache.

906
00:53:29,873 --> 00:53:32,307
Good. Then let's get rid of it.

907
00:53:32,409 --> 00:53:34,001
How long
have you been having these pains?

908
00:53:34,344 --> 00:53:36,812
- The last hour.
- I see.

909
00:53:40,517 --> 00:53:42,644
Take a deep breath, please.

910
00:53:44,621 --> 00:53:45,986
And again.

911
00:53:54,030 --> 00:53:57,796
Now, run along. You've had your fun.
I've got to get some sleep.

912
00:53:57,901 --> 00:53:58,890
Just to be on the safe side

913
00:53:59,002 --> 00:54:00,833
I think we'd better take some X-rays
at the hospital.

914
00:54:00,937 --> 00:54:05,567
Oh, I hate people who always call in doctors
at the slightest sign of discomfort.

915
00:54:05,675 --> 00:54:09,133
I'll not move from this room
unless Homer Gleeson says so.

916
00:54:09,246 --> 00:54:11,146
I'm afraid we can't wait for Dr. Gleeson.

917
00:54:11,248 --> 00:54:13,773
If Tom says you should go to the hospital,
you'd better go.

918
00:54:13,883 --> 00:54:17,114
I've had these attacks before
and got over them.

919
00:54:17,220 --> 00:54:18,653
Then I'd better give you a hypo.

920
00:54:18,755 --> 00:54:21,656
In a few minutes you'll be asleep.
Would you prefer that?

921
00:54:23,026 --> 00:54:26,223
All right. All right, young man, I'll go.

922
00:54:26,329 --> 00:54:28,593
But you'd better make certain
that Homer Gleeson is waiting

923
00:54:28,732 --> 00:54:29,994
when I get there.

924
00:54:30,100 --> 00:54:33,001
I'll not allow another doctor
to come near me.

925
00:54:33,970 --> 00:54:37,565
He'll be there, Mrs. Nelson.
I promise you. Pack her things.

926
00:54:49,185 --> 00:54:50,914
Tom, is it serious?

927
00:54:51,855 --> 00:54:53,516
I'm afraid so.

928
00:54:53,623 --> 00:54:57,525
- But Aunt Mae's been through this...
- I got here as fast as I could.

929
00:54:58,161 --> 00:55:01,221
- What's wrong with Mrs. Nelson?
- Intestinal strangulation.

930
00:55:03,933 --> 00:55:05,127
Are you sure?

931
00:55:05,235 --> 00:55:07,897
We'll know
as soon as we've seen the X-rays.

932
00:55:10,407 --> 00:55:11,965
I'll call an ambulance.

933
00:55:12,075 --> 00:55:13,508
Tom, if it's what you think it is...

934
00:55:13,610 --> 00:55:16,738
Then it's critical.
She'll need an immediate operation.

935
00:55:17,781 --> 00:55:21,444
Hello, Lasher? Get an ambulance over here
to Mrs. Nelson, please.

936
00:55:21,551 --> 00:55:25,043
And post surgery for 9:00, an exploratory.

937
00:55:40,804 --> 00:55:43,637
- You haven't got much time, Homer.
- No.

938
00:55:48,778 --> 00:55:52,214
- I can't handle it.
- What are you talking about?

939
00:55:52,982 --> 00:55:54,847
I can't, Tom. It's too dangerous.

940
00:55:57,754 --> 00:56:00,416
You saw the X-rays.
She needs surgery right away.

941
00:56:00,523 --> 00:56:02,252
I know, Tom, but the truth is

942
00:56:02,359 --> 00:56:05,624
I haven't performed a major operation
in 10 years.

943
00:56:05,729 --> 00:56:09,130
Dr. Parry did all my surgery.
I'm not in condition.

944
00:56:10,467 --> 00:56:12,025
Do it for me.

945
00:56:13,403 --> 00:56:14,836
You can do it.

946
00:56:18,641 --> 00:56:23,704
- I don't know, Homer. She's your patient.
- She has confidence in you.

947
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,408
Yes, but I don't...
I haven't got confidence in myself.

948
00:56:27,517 --> 00:56:30,213
I told you Dr. Parry
used to do all my surgery.

949
00:56:31,354 --> 00:56:34,323
I'm not equipped
to handle a delicate operation like this.

950
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:38,518
We're ready, Doctor.

951
00:57:35,752 --> 00:57:37,379
There was no turning back.

952
00:57:39,022 --> 00:57:43,959
I made a lower midline incision
and suddenly I realized

953
00:57:44,060 --> 00:57:46,585
this wasn't gold or platinum
I was going through.

954
00:57:46,696 --> 00:57:49,096
This was just flesh like anybody had.

955
00:57:49,199 --> 00:57:52,930
This form on the table wasn't Mrs. Nelson,
but just another woman.

956
00:57:54,471 --> 00:57:57,235
What do you think?
Is the incision large enough?

957
00:57:57,340 --> 00:57:58,967
Not quite.

958
00:58:04,714 --> 00:58:05,806
Suture.

959
00:58:23,366 --> 00:58:26,199
Her heartbeat was strong,
but her breathing was labored.

960
00:58:26,302 --> 00:58:29,294
I had to work faster now.
I was going to have to resect.

961
00:58:46,689 --> 00:58:48,554
It was almost done now.

962
00:58:48,658 --> 00:58:52,287
There was one more step.
I sutured over the clamps.

963
00:58:52,395 --> 00:58:55,887
I removed them,
and closed the abdominal wall.

964
00:58:57,500 --> 00:58:58,660
It was over.

965
00:59:09,178 --> 00:59:12,670
Well, I guess we can issue
the palace bulletin.

966
00:59:12,782 --> 00:59:14,272
The Empress will live.

967
00:59:26,029 --> 00:59:29,055
She'll be coming out of the anesthetic soon.

968
00:59:30,633 --> 00:59:32,430
I'd like to be there.

969
00:59:34,270 --> 00:59:38,502
She's my patient. She depends on me.
You understand.

970
00:59:39,742 --> 00:59:43,269
I wouldn't want her to think
that I had no part in the operation.

971
00:59:43,379 --> 00:59:46,712
- Well, we did work on it together.
- Exactly.

972
00:59:46,816 --> 00:59:50,377
You did a fine job, Tom,
and I wouldn't want to take credit from you.

973
00:59:50,486 --> 00:59:53,887
That would be absurd. But she is important.

974
00:59:55,858 --> 00:59:58,918
It would be better for the office,
for both of us,

975
00:59:59,028 --> 01:00:01,929
if Mrs. Nelson's confidence in me
remains unshaken.

976
01:00:05,068 --> 01:00:07,263
You want her to think you did the surgery?

977
01:00:08,404 --> 01:00:10,838
- Why not?
- It's not very ethical.

978
01:00:11,574 --> 01:00:14,600
Ethical is a word
out of a medical school lecture.

979
01:00:14,711 --> 01:00:19,307
We're in business, Tom,
and we want to stay in business, don't we?

980
01:00:19,415 --> 01:00:21,110
- Well, sure, but don't you think...
- Let me handle it.

981
01:00:21,217 --> 01:00:24,380
I've had a lot of experience
with this sort of thing.

982
01:00:24,487 --> 01:00:27,513
- You do what you think best.
- You won't be sorry.

983
01:00:47,610 --> 01:00:50,636
- Good night, Doctor.
- Good night, Lasher. It's late.

984
01:00:50,747 --> 01:00:51,907
Have you got a way home?

985
01:00:52,015 --> 01:00:54,882
- There's always a cab out front.
- Oh, I'll drop you.

986
01:00:54,984 --> 01:00:58,249
- I don't want to put you out.
- Don't be silly.

987
01:00:58,354 --> 01:01:01,653
I don't know how that operation
would have turned out without you.

988
01:01:01,758 --> 01:01:03,749
I didn't do anything
any other nurse wouldn't have done.

989
01:01:03,860 --> 01:01:07,421
Now, there are all kinds of nurses.
I've got one of the good kind.

990
01:01:07,530 --> 01:01:10,158
There are all kinds of doctors, too.

991
01:01:10,266 --> 01:01:14,032
Let's keep this mutual admiration society
exclusive, shall we?

992
01:01:14,137 --> 01:01:16,799
My father felt the same way,
except he'd always change the subject

993
01:01:16,906 --> 01:01:18,806
and say, "Let's have some coffee. "

994
01:01:18,908 --> 01:01:20,102
Shall we?

995
01:01:23,613 --> 01:01:24,705
All right.

996
01:01:30,153 --> 01:01:35,489
Jordan and Burrows' Bacteriology.
Lester Sharp's Introduction to Cytology.

997
01:01:35,858 --> 01:01:38,418
That's the one
that had me stumped in school.

998
01:01:38,528 --> 01:01:40,428
I hated it.

999
01:01:40,530 --> 01:01:43,931
You know,
you've got quite a medical library here.

1000
01:01:44,033 --> 01:01:48,197
I'm beginning to understand why it helped
to have you in that operating room.

1001
01:01:48,304 --> 01:01:51,137
I was scared, you know. Really scared.

1002
01:01:52,275 --> 01:01:55,142
Did you ever read the biography
of Dr. William Osler?

1003
01:01:55,244 --> 01:01:57,678
Not since medical school. Why?

1004
01:01:57,780 --> 01:01:59,873
He was always scared, too,

1005
01:01:59,982 --> 01:02:03,110
before he performed
one of his really difficult operations.

1006
01:02:05,922 --> 01:02:08,390
The Spaniards have a phrase
for the way I felt.

1007
01:02:10,093 --> 01:02:11,583
Sweating the big drop.

1008
01:02:11,694 --> 01:02:13,958
I must have lost seven or eight pounds.

1009
01:02:14,063 --> 01:02:16,657
It was one of the most skillful pieces
of surgery I've ever seen.

1010
01:02:16,766 --> 01:02:20,429
- It wasn't the surgery that had me worried.
- What else was there to worry about?

1011
01:02:20,603 --> 01:02:23,401
The patient.
You know who that is, don't you?

1012
01:02:23,506 --> 01:02:26,498
Of course. Mrs. Nelson. What about her?

1013
01:02:26,609 --> 01:02:28,008
What about her?

1014
01:02:28,111 --> 01:02:31,672
Suppose you're a dressmaker
and one day a duchess drops into your shop

1015
01:02:31,781 --> 01:02:33,078
and says, "Make me a dress. "

1016
01:02:33,182 --> 01:02:35,548
You're made. You're set for life.

1017
01:02:35,651 --> 01:02:39,781
- I thought you were doing fine.
- Up to now, we've just been a fad, Lasher.

1018
01:02:39,889 --> 01:02:42,221
Café society. The cocktail circuit.

1019
01:02:42,325 --> 01:02:46,523
This job on Mrs. Nelson
moves us up into the carriage trade.

1020
01:02:46,629 --> 01:02:49,826
The carriage trade? You're joking!

1021
01:02:50,299 --> 01:02:52,995
- What about?
- People like Mrs. Nelson.

1022
01:02:53,102 --> 01:02:55,969
Rich patients
making you a successful surgeon.

1023
01:02:56,072 --> 01:03:00,168
Look, this isn't a chapter
out of the biography of Dr. William Osler.

1024
01:03:00,276 --> 01:03:01,573
You've been around long enough to know

1025
01:03:01,677 --> 01:03:05,204
that a doctor's success depends
on who he treats, not how well.

1026
01:03:05,314 --> 01:03:07,942
I'm sorry, Doctor.
I haven't been around that long.

1027
01:03:08,050 --> 01:03:11,577
Well, what have we here?
A nurse with ideals?

1028
01:03:11,687 --> 01:03:14,918
My father taught me to believe
that everybody had them.

1029
01:03:15,024 --> 01:03:18,516
Can't you see that you don't need
Mrs. Nelson or Gleeson?

1030
01:03:18,628 --> 01:03:22,359
Can't you see that you don't have to become
a ghost surgeon?

1031
01:03:23,032 --> 01:03:24,329
A ghost surgeon?

1032
01:03:24,433 --> 01:03:26,401
What do you call what happened tonight,

1033
01:03:26,502 --> 01:03:31,030
allowing Gleeson to deceive Mrs. Nelson?
Letting her think that he did the operation?

1034
01:03:31,140 --> 01:03:33,472
Sure, I helped Gleeson. We're associates.

1035
01:03:33,576 --> 01:03:35,567
If he wants all the credit, let him have it.

1036
01:03:35,678 --> 01:03:39,136
What counts is Mrs. Nelson. She's alive.
Or doesn't that matter?

1037
01:03:39,248 --> 01:03:41,773
Of course it does. But you matter more!

1038
01:03:42,385 --> 01:03:44,182
I haven't seen all the surgery in the world,

1039
01:03:44,287 --> 01:03:46,755
but I've seen enough
to know the best when I see it.

1040
01:03:46,856 --> 01:03:49,984
And surgeons like you come along
only once in a long, long while.

1041
01:03:50,092 --> 01:03:53,584
You're a fine doctor.
All you need is your hands.

1042
01:03:53,696 --> 01:03:55,687
- Keep them clean.
- I intend to.

1043
01:03:55,798 --> 01:03:59,359
You can't. Not the way you've been going.

1044
01:03:59,468 --> 01:04:01,197
Good night, Doctor.

1045
01:04:20,890 --> 01:04:21,857
What are you doing?

1046
01:04:21,958 --> 01:04:24,426
- I'm leaving.
- You're leaving?

1047
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,324
I couldn't sleep last night.

1048
01:04:26,429 --> 01:04:28,920
After you left,
I kept thinking about what you said

1049
01:04:29,031 --> 01:04:32,228
and what's been happening to you here
in this beauty parlor.

1050
01:04:32,335 --> 01:04:34,599
- This is what you want.
- You must have misunderstood me.

1051
01:04:34,704 --> 01:04:37,730
I don't think I did. That's why I'm quitting.

1052
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:41,435
Well, perhaps a raise in salary
will help you change your mind.

1053
01:04:41,544 --> 01:04:44,411
You think money is the answer
to everything.

1054
01:04:44,513 --> 01:04:47,778
- Money has nothing to do with it.
- Have you got a job?

1055
01:04:49,051 --> 01:04:50,916
- No.
- Where are you going?

1056
01:04:52,388 --> 01:04:54,356
I thought I'd speak to Dr. Crowley first.

1057
01:04:54,457 --> 01:04:57,221
Perhaps he can find an opening for me
somewhere in his office.

1058
01:04:57,326 --> 01:04:59,191
Crowley's office?

1059
01:04:59,295 --> 01:05:03,095
I thought you were too smart
to fall for that horse-and-buggy routine.

1060
01:05:03,199 --> 01:05:05,292
Don't you know
why men like Crowley fall for it?

1061
01:05:05,401 --> 01:05:07,460
Because they're scared of the competition.

1062
01:05:07,570 --> 01:05:12,132
So they dig a hole in the ground,
a place to hide, and call it a small town.

1063
01:05:12,241 --> 01:05:14,903
Why? Because they think in a small town
they'll be needed

1064
01:05:15,011 --> 01:05:18,640
- more than they are here in a big city.
- It's true. He is needed more in Coalville.

1065
01:05:18,748 --> 01:05:21,342
Only in Crowley's imagination and yours.

1066
01:05:21,450 --> 01:05:24,317
Small towns are just like big ones,
except in one way.

1067
01:05:24,420 --> 01:05:27,446
- They have less of everything.
- They have enough for me.

1068
01:05:27,556 --> 01:05:30,024
The only difference between
Crowley's patients and mine

1069
01:05:30,126 --> 01:05:33,960
- is that mine pay more.
- I'm sorry you see it that way.

1070
01:05:34,063 --> 01:05:38,090
I depend on you, Lasher.
You can't walk out on me.

1071
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:42,796
What about the office, my patients?
What about my schedule of appointments?

1072
01:05:42,905 --> 01:05:45,840
I've already gone over the whole
appointment schedule with Miss Murphy.

1073
01:05:45,942 --> 01:05:49,036
You'll find that she is quite capable
of taking care of all the office accounts.

1074
01:05:49,145 --> 01:05:51,113
I don't care about Murphy. What about me?

1075
01:05:51,213 --> 01:05:53,681
I'm sure you'll have no difficulty, Dr. Owen.

1076
01:05:53,783 --> 01:05:56,513
There's nothing you could do
to make me change my mind.

1077
01:05:57,486 --> 01:06:00,751
- Please let me go.
- Not until I understand why...

1078
01:06:00,856 --> 01:06:03,416
Tom, I'd like to talk to you for a moment.
Come in, will you?

1079
01:06:03,726 --> 01:06:06,718
Right away. Wait here for me.

1080
01:06:09,598 --> 01:06:12,396
- I just got back from the hospital.
- How's Mrs. Nelson?

1081
01:06:12,501 --> 01:06:14,662
Fine. Annoyed by her room,
can't stand the food,

1082
01:06:14,770 --> 01:06:17,568
hates the nurses
and wants to know when she can go home.

1083
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:20,909
All the symptoms of a patient
well on the road to recovery.

1084
01:06:21,010 --> 01:06:23,205
Well, that's really good news.

1085
01:06:23,312 --> 01:06:26,179
I have a piece of better news for you.

1086
01:06:26,282 --> 01:06:30,150
I think she's going to sit still
for a $10,000 fee.

1087
01:06:30,252 --> 01:06:34,814
- You're kidding.
- I'm not kidding, and half of it is yours.

1088
01:06:36,158 --> 01:06:38,126
I'm a man who keeps his word.

1089
01:06:39,495 --> 01:06:42,396
I'm offering you a full partnership.

1090
01:06:44,500 --> 01:06:47,492
Well? What do you say?

1091
01:06:48,637 --> 01:06:50,036
What can I say?

1092
01:06:51,774 --> 01:06:52,968
You've earned it.

1093
01:07:02,852 --> 01:07:04,581
- Lasher?
- She's gone.

1094
01:07:05,755 --> 01:07:08,622
Hello, darling. I thought she was still here.

1095
01:07:08,724 --> 01:07:13,388
- There was something I wanted to tell her.
- I'm sure she left a forwarding address.

1096
01:07:17,833 --> 01:07:21,963
- Why did Miss Lasher quit?
- She found a better job.

1097
01:07:22,071 --> 01:07:26,508
I didn't know there were any better jobs.
You said she was such a great help.

1098
01:07:26,642 --> 01:07:30,874
And good nurses are hard to find.
Why didn't you offer her more money?

1099
01:07:32,181 --> 01:07:35,981
- She's not interested in money.
- Could it be something personal?

1100
01:07:36,986 --> 01:07:38,977
What are you hinting at, Helen?

1101
01:07:39,088 --> 01:07:42,489
I found out you left the hospital
with Miss Lasher last night.

1102
01:07:42,591 --> 01:07:43,956
That's right. I took her home.

1103
01:07:44,060 --> 01:07:46,756
I kept calling your apartment
until 2:00 in the morning.

1104
01:07:46,862 --> 01:07:49,330
Lasher and I were discussing the operation.

1105
01:07:50,199 --> 01:07:52,690
- Is that what you want me to believe?
- Why not?

1106
01:07:52,802 --> 01:07:55,066
Why didn't you call me
when the operation was over?

1107
01:07:55,171 --> 01:07:56,433
She's my aunt.

1108
01:07:56,539 --> 01:07:59,406
Or didn't you think
I'd be as interested as your nurse?

1109
01:07:59,508 --> 01:08:01,203
It was too late, and I was tired.

1110
01:08:01,310 --> 01:08:04,677
It wasn't too late, and you weren't too tired
to talk to Miss Lasher.

1111
01:08:07,016 --> 01:08:12,283
Look, I've got a long day ahead of me.
Can't we discuss this at dinner?

1112
01:08:12,388 --> 01:08:16,916
Tom, when I first met you,
I thought you needed my help.

1113
01:08:17,593 --> 01:08:21,427
- I never said I wasn't grateful.
- Gratitude is no substitute for what I want.

1114
01:08:22,498 --> 01:08:25,194
- What do you want?
- I'm in love with you, and I'm jealous.

1115
01:08:25,301 --> 01:08:27,292
There's nobody to be jealous of.

1116
01:08:27,403 --> 01:08:30,133
Darling, I've made
a heavy emotional investment in you.

1117
01:08:30,239 --> 01:08:33,538
- I don't want to lose it.
- You're not losing anything.

1118
01:08:33,809 --> 01:08:36,107
Then why don't you act
as though you love me?

1119
01:08:36,679 --> 01:08:37,805
I beg your pardon.

1120
01:08:37,913 --> 01:08:39,813
- Good morning, Homer.
- Good morning, Helen.

1121
01:08:39,915 --> 01:08:41,314
- Has he told you?
- Told me what?

1122
01:08:41,417 --> 01:08:44,818
I just offered him a full partnership.
No more associate.

1123
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:47,946
Owen and Gleeson. Gleeson and Owen.

1124
01:08:48,791 --> 01:08:50,190
Owen and Owen.

1125
01:08:55,664 --> 01:08:57,029
No, I haven't decided yet

1126
01:08:57,133 --> 01:09:00,159
whether I should recuperate
in the south of France or North Africa.

1127
01:09:00,269 --> 01:09:01,531
Aunt Mae, please sit down.

1128
01:09:01,637 --> 01:09:04,003
Young lady, it's taken me six weeks
to get on my feet,

1129
01:09:04,106 --> 01:09:06,165
and I intend to remain there for a while.

1130
01:09:06,275 --> 01:09:09,608
Especially at a party
in which I'm the guest of honor.

1131
01:09:10,146 --> 01:09:13,138
- Oh, Tom. Tom, come here a minute.
- Yes, what is it?

1132
01:09:13,249 --> 01:09:15,308
Young ladies,
will you kindly detach yourself

1133
01:09:15,417 --> 01:09:16,577
from this young man for a moment?

1134
01:09:16,685 --> 01:09:19,085
- I promise I'll send him right back.
- Excuse me, please.

1135
01:09:19,188 --> 01:09:21,588
Do you know it's becoming
almost as difficult

1136
01:09:21,690 --> 01:09:23,681
to talk to him
as it is to see him at his office?

1137
01:09:23,792 --> 01:09:26,989
No, not for you, Mrs. Nelson.
All you have to do is call.

1138
01:09:27,263 --> 01:09:29,595
I didn't want to interrupt the performance.

1139
01:09:29,698 --> 01:09:32,258
- You're getting quite good at it.
- That's part of my bedside manner.

1140
01:09:35,004 --> 01:09:39,134
- Your aunt is simply amazing.
- She's lucky. She has a wonderful doctor.

1141
01:09:41,010 --> 01:09:45,674
- Thank you. Thank heaven for that.
- For what?

1142
01:09:45,781 --> 01:09:48,181
That you're not one of those doctors
who always tell you,

1143
01:09:48,284 --> 01:09:52,050
in repulsively cheerful tones,
how well you look.

1144
01:09:52,154 --> 01:09:54,679
That's one of the things
I can't stand about Homer Gleeson.

1145
01:09:54,790 --> 01:09:57,486
Well, fortunately,
he has a great many good qualities.

1146
01:09:57,593 --> 01:09:58,890
Name one.

1147
01:09:58,994 --> 01:10:01,963
- He's a first-rate surgeon.
- Is he?

1148
01:10:02,064 --> 01:10:06,057
I've waited six weeks to say this to you.
Thank you for saving my life.

1149
01:10:06,702 --> 01:10:08,169
Dr. Gleeson did that.

1150
01:10:09,672 --> 01:10:12,004
You've already demonstrated
that you're a brilliant surgeon.

1151
01:10:12,107 --> 01:10:13,870
Now, don't try to prove you're a bad liar.

1152
01:10:13,976 --> 01:10:15,705
Couldn't we discuss this
at some other time?

1153
01:10:15,811 --> 01:10:17,972
Yes, we could,
but I prefer to discuss it now.

1154
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:19,240
Close the door, Helen.

1155
01:10:19,348 --> 01:10:20,713
I found out it was you,

1156
01:10:20,816 --> 01:10:23,080
and not Homer Gleeson,
who operated on me.

1157
01:10:23,953 --> 01:10:27,684
Some surgeons are more familiar
with certain types of operation.

1158
01:10:27,790 --> 01:10:29,951
Some know more about other kinds,
but that doesn't mean...

1159
01:10:30,059 --> 01:10:33,460
Oh, yes, it does. It means a great deal.

1160
01:10:34,830 --> 01:10:38,027
I've been raised to believe
that the simple rules of honorable conduct

1161
01:10:38,133 --> 01:10:40,465
apply equally to all human beings.

1162
01:10:40,569 --> 01:10:43,470
I see no reason
that shouldn't include all doctors.

1163
01:10:43,739 --> 01:10:46,572
Homer Gleeson has been my doctor
a long time.

1164
01:10:46,675 --> 01:10:49,667
For years, I've recommended him
to my friends.

1165
01:10:49,778 --> 01:10:51,746
For years, I've been under the impression

1166
01:10:51,847 --> 01:10:54,475
that he was treating them
to the best of his ability.

1167
01:10:56,986 --> 01:10:59,216
Now, I find he's a fraud.

1168
01:10:59,321 --> 01:11:01,846
He's been using
the best of other men's abilities.

1169
01:11:01,991 --> 01:11:02,958
Does that matter,

1170
01:11:03,058 --> 01:11:05,458
so long as you and your friends
receive the proper treatment?

1171
01:11:06,428 --> 01:11:08,794
I prefer Dr. Owen answer that.

1172
01:11:10,032 --> 01:11:13,001
I don't see that you have anything
to complain about, Mrs. Nelson.

1173
01:11:13,102 --> 01:11:15,662
Rudeness is no answer
to an ethical problem.

1174
01:11:15,771 --> 01:11:19,969
You're still a young man.
You've made a young man's mistake.

1175
01:11:20,075 --> 01:11:24,239
You've wanted something so much
that you've given up your integrity to get it.

1176
01:11:24,346 --> 01:11:27,372
If I'd stopped to worry about my integrity
in that operating room,

1177
01:11:27,483 --> 01:11:29,508
you wouldn't be alive today, Mrs. Nelson.

1178
01:11:29,618 --> 01:11:31,176
What about the other operations
you've performed

1179
01:11:31,287 --> 01:11:33,050
for Dr. Gleeson since then?

1180
01:11:33,155 --> 01:11:35,623
Those patients are just as much alive
as you are.

1181
01:11:35,724 --> 01:11:38,557
- Do they know why?
- What difference does it make?

1182
01:11:39,461 --> 01:11:41,986
I'm asking the question of Dr. Owen.

1183
01:11:42,097 --> 01:11:45,760
Of course I'm glad to be alive.
So are the rest of the patients glad.

1184
01:11:45,868 --> 01:11:47,096
But that isn't the issue.

1185
01:11:47,202 --> 01:11:48,931
- What is the issue?
- It's dishonest.

1186
01:11:49,038 --> 01:11:51,438
It's like lying under oath in a courtroom.

1187
01:11:51,540 --> 01:11:54,509
It's just plain cheating, Dr. Owen,
and you know it.

1188
01:11:54,610 --> 01:11:58,102
I don't care what you call it.
It's saving lives, and that's my business.

1189
01:11:58,213 --> 01:12:01,341
- I agree with Tom.
- Dr. Owen, an urgent call.

1190
01:12:01,450 --> 01:12:03,441
Thank you. Hello.

1191
01:12:05,354 --> 01:12:07,379
Explosion? When?

1192
01:12:07,489 --> 01:12:10,617
Ten minutes ago! Tom, they need help!

1193
01:12:19,635 --> 01:12:21,296
There it goes again!

1194
01:12:22,604 --> 01:12:24,595
I'll be right over.

1195
01:12:24,707 --> 01:12:27,505
There's been an accident at the mine.
I'll be back later.

1196
01:13:16,658 --> 01:13:18,421
Keep back! Keep back!

1197
01:13:19,728 --> 01:13:21,821
Let them through, there!

1198
01:13:38,414 --> 01:13:39,438
How'd it happen?

1199
01:13:39,548 --> 01:13:41,106
They were opening up a new seam
on the third level.

1200
01:13:41,216 --> 01:13:42,683
Sprung some gas and a spark hit it.

1201
01:13:42,785 --> 01:13:45,345
You'd better help Scobee.
I'll see how bad it is.

1202
01:13:45,454 --> 01:13:47,615
- Will he be all right, Doctor?
- He'll be all right.

1203
01:13:47,723 --> 01:13:51,181
- Tom.
- I'm all right, Mom.

1204
01:13:52,060 --> 01:13:54,654
But Pete and a couple of the others
got sealed off.

1205
01:13:54,963 --> 01:13:58,797
Doc Crowley's down there now
with his nurse, trying to get to them.

1206
01:13:58,901 --> 01:14:00,493
You stay here, Doc. I'm going below.

1207
01:14:00,602 --> 01:14:01,967
All right, Tom.

1208
01:14:24,059 --> 01:14:25,583
This is as far as we can go.

1209
01:14:25,694 --> 01:14:28,094
The vibration
might pull the whole thing down.

1210
01:14:36,405 --> 01:14:38,236
- How many dead?
- Four.

1211
01:14:38,340 --> 01:14:40,171
And whatever we find from now on.

1212
01:14:43,278 --> 01:14:44,575
- Where's Crowley?
- He's inside.

1213
01:14:44,680 --> 01:14:47,046
- They just broke through.
- This can't hold up much longer.

1214
01:14:47,149 --> 01:14:49,777
Tom! Tom!

1215
01:14:50,552 --> 01:14:52,850
There's three of them in there.
I gave them morphine.

1216
01:14:52,955 --> 01:14:54,684
Can they be moved?

1217
01:14:54,790 --> 01:14:56,951
We can get two out,
but I don't know about Pete.

1218
01:14:57,059 --> 01:15:00,790
- Give me the kit.
- You get some rest, Crowley.

1219
01:15:00,896 --> 01:15:02,523
- I'll take over.
- No!

1220
01:15:07,836 --> 01:15:10,634
Okay, take it easy. Easy.

1221
01:15:14,476 --> 01:15:15,443
You got him?

1222
01:15:31,026 --> 01:15:33,426
Tom! Tom, look out!

1223
01:15:36,765 --> 01:15:38,733
We've got to get him out of here.

1224
01:15:45,274 --> 01:15:48,869
- What's he doing here?
- He's helping us, Pete. Just lie still.

1225
01:15:48,977 --> 01:15:51,036
- When are you going to get me out?
- Right away.

1226
01:16:05,761 --> 01:16:07,592
Tourniquet. Plasma.

1227
01:16:21,977 --> 01:16:23,035
How is he?

1228
01:16:23,145 --> 01:16:25,807
- Severed artery and shock.
- Can you move him?

1229
01:16:25,914 --> 01:16:27,347
Not yet. Tourniquet.

1230
01:16:46,602 --> 01:16:49,127
You'd better get outside, Jim.
Get some fresh air in your lungs.

1231
01:16:49,237 --> 01:16:51,467
I'll be all right. Clamp.

1232
01:16:56,044 --> 01:16:58,808
Get outside. Clamp.

1233
01:17:03,285 --> 01:17:04,616
Plasma.

1234
01:17:18,233 --> 01:17:19,495
Tom!

1235
01:17:19,601 --> 01:17:23,264
Tom, the whole thing's going to cave in.
Get him out.

1236
01:17:23,372 --> 01:17:26,000
In a second. I told you to get out.

1237
01:17:26,108 --> 01:17:28,906
Hurry up. It won't hold much longer.

1238
01:17:30,212 --> 01:17:32,203
We'll have to move him as he is.

1239
01:17:39,154 --> 01:17:41,019
Go ahead with the plasma bottle.

1240
01:17:49,598 --> 01:17:52,726
Come on, take him.
I'm going back for Crowley.

1241
01:17:54,569 --> 01:17:56,560
Jim! Come on, get out!

1242
01:17:58,273 --> 01:18:00,833
Get him out. Get Pete out.

1243
01:18:21,029 --> 01:18:23,054
Hurry, please. It's Dr. Crowley!

1244
01:18:23,165 --> 01:18:24,632
Take it easy. He's lost a lot of blood.

1245
01:18:24,733 --> 01:18:28,931
My boy, my boy, my boy!
Oh, Pete, my boy, will he live?

1246
01:18:29,037 --> 01:18:31,232
He'll live. He'll be all right.

1247
01:18:33,175 --> 01:18:37,737
- Bless you. Bless you.
- Dr. Crowley's the one you should thank.

1248
01:19:23,158 --> 01:19:27,356
- Well, Doc, you got them all out.
- Not quite.

1249
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,144
- Tom, how bad was it?
- Bad enough.

1250
01:19:47,282 --> 01:19:49,773
People were hurt. Some men were killed.

1251
01:19:49,885 --> 01:19:53,480
I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do to help?

1252
01:19:53,588 --> 01:19:55,715
I'd like to send a check.

1253
01:19:55,824 --> 01:19:57,951
I'm afraid I'm not much good
at anything else.

1254
01:19:58,059 --> 01:20:02,155
Sometimes people don't have a clear idea
of what they're like, or what they want.

1255
01:20:03,398 --> 01:20:06,026
I asked you to marry me. I'd still like you to.

1256
01:20:06,468 --> 01:20:09,665
Are you sure you want to marry a girl
who can't do anything except write checks?

1257
01:20:09,771 --> 01:20:11,898
You'll have a chance
to learn a lot more than that.

1258
01:20:12,007 --> 01:20:13,497
I'm quitting Gleeson.

1259
01:20:15,210 --> 01:20:18,577
- You're going back to Coalville?
- I'm going back to medicine.

1260
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:21,012
There was no ghost surgery
down in that mine tonight.

1261
01:20:21,116 --> 01:20:24,643
I wasn't standing in for Gleeson
or anybody else. I was on my own.

1262
01:20:24,753 --> 01:20:28,621
That's the way it's got to be from now on.
A man had to die to drive that into me.

1263
01:20:28,757 --> 01:20:31,351
What difference does it make
where you practice?

1264
01:20:31,459 --> 01:20:34,257
A few hours ago,
right here in this house, you told my aunt

1265
01:20:34,362 --> 01:20:37,661
that a doctor's business was saving lives
no matter whose they were.

1266
01:20:37,766 --> 01:20:40,633
A few hours ago,
I was still looking for guarantees.

1267
01:20:40,735 --> 01:20:43,033
I thought that's what I wanted. Security.

1268
01:20:43,138 --> 01:20:46,198
I just learned that the only security,
the only guarantees,

1269
01:20:46,308 --> 01:20:47,798
the only chance a man's got to win,

1270
01:20:47,909 --> 01:20:50,469
is the way he uses
what he's given to work with.

1271
01:20:51,580 --> 01:20:54,048
That's why I'm quitting Gleeson
and going back to Coalville.

1272
01:20:54,149 --> 01:20:59,018
I could never get used to Coalville.
We're different people. It just wouldn't work.

1273
01:20:59,187 --> 01:21:03,749
I tried. I really tried, but I couldn't change
any more than you could.

1274
01:21:04,860 --> 01:21:06,487
I belong here, Tom.

1275
01:21:10,065 --> 01:21:13,466
- Goodbye, Helen.
- I should have known it in the first place.

1276
01:21:14,469 --> 01:21:15,731
Good luck, Tom.

1277
01:21:31,486 --> 01:21:35,320
I'm looking for Dr. Owens' office.
Can you help me?

1278
01:21:35,423 --> 01:21:40,861
This is it, and if you're looking for his nurse,
she's ready to go to work.
