All language subtitles for Empty Nest s04e06 The Dreyfuss Affair.eng

- Morning.
- Mm-hm.

Hey, pop tarts!
It's my lucky day!

Great, Barbara.

Forget that there are now
15 Soviet republics,

each with their own
nuclear weapons.

You've got pop tarts.

They float in your milk.

Well, they're good,
and we're doomed anyway.

Hey, dreyf!
You want a doggy biscuit?

Hm? Come on, dreyfy, weyfy.

Have a doggie, woggie biscuit!

How come he doesn't want it?

Maybe something's
making him nauseous, Barbara.

- Morning, westons.
- Morning.

Harry, need your advice,
major decision time.

All right.

Sure thing. No, let me
get this, first.

Oh, but, Harry,
this is important!

Charley, I've got a call, here.

Oh, hi, Mrs. Dawson. How is he?

Well, is he running a fever?
Ah, geez!

Make it snappy, will ya?

I've got a real
head scratcher here.

What's the big decision,
Charley?

I've got a very serious
job offer

from an exciting new company.
Really, where?

Uncle buzzy's pirate world.

I play captain blood,

the ruthless scourge
of the south seas.

Well, that's great.
Where'd you hear about it?

Well, I was dating this girl
plays one of the mermaids.

Tip to the wise,
take the tail off, first.

Anyway, it's twice as much money
as I'm getting now.

- Well, that sounds good.
- Yeah, but, you know,

the cruise line's
been very good to me.

Harry, get off the horn
and help me here!

He's being very rude.

No, no, no, it doesn't
sound like tonsillitis.

I'll tell you what.
Bring him into the office.

I'll take a look at him.
Yak, yak, yak.

He's worse than a teenage girl.

Daddy, I think there's
something wrong with dreyfuss.

He didn't eat
his breakfast, either.

You don't think
he's sick, do you?

Let me check on him.
Let me see him.

Let me see. Let me see him.
Let me see you. Come over here.

Well, his nose
is wet and disgusting...

Tongue is slimy...

Breath is awful.

Seems fine to me.
I've got to go.

- Bye, dear.
- Bye.

All right, my dear.
I will see you soon.

Bye.

Laverne,
what are you cutting out?

An article on Nick
and the ball team.

He's been chasin'
the hittin' record,

and he's about to
catch up with it.

Hitting record?
I thought he was in a slump.

He's not hittin' the ball.

The balls are hittin' him.

If he gets hit by
six more pitches,

he'll break the record set by
the now comatose lumpy o'brien.

Aren't you worried
about him getting hurt?

Of course, I am scared to death.

I tried to talk him out of it,
but it means so much to Nick.

After all,
it's his only real shot

at baseball immortality.

Well, I wish him good luck.

Luck has nothin' to with it.

This is skill.

Picture this,
bottom of the ninth,

bases are loaded,

and just like babe Ruth
a-callin' his shot,

Nick points to his head.

Would've hit him there, too,

if lefty hadn't throwed a sinker

and nailed him in the crotch.

- Uh, was Nick okay?
- Oh, yeah.

He was fine.

I'm just glad I wasn't there

to see him take that victory
crawl to first base.

Well, you've got
quite a man there, Laverne.

Of course, maybe not
quite the man he was a day ago.

Good morning, Mrs. Peterson.

Hey, John,
nice to see you again.

Again? You mean,
I come too often, don't you?

Oh, no, no, no.
No, no, no. 'Course not.

No, no. Well,
you said on the phone

that he felt a little warm.

- Yeah.
- So, let's take a look.

You must think that I am
one of those alarmist mothers.

I mean, I'm taking up your time,

when someone's
probably dying outside.

No, no, dear, it's all right.

You're, you're,
you're no different

than any other mother.

Oh, I'm really concerned
about his fingerprints.

Well, maybe a little different.

How's his appetite?

Well, uh, not good recently.

But who can blame him?
I'm a terrible cook.

Yeah, let me see what it is.

Oh, come on,
just a little slight fever.

You're going to be
all right, John.

Probably just got a little cold.

Oh, my gosh!

And I almost
didn't bring him in!

I should be shot!
No, no, no, dear, no.

Don't be silly.

Now, I mean, loss of appetite

is often a tip off that
something's not quite right.

Come on.

Mrs. Peterson, darling, please,

please don't worry so much,
okay?

Now, remember we've been
through this before.

Plenty of fluids,
plenty of rest;

Rise in temperature,
call the doctor.

- Okay.
- All right?

- Yeah.
- All right. Bye-bye, dear.

- You drive carefully.
- I'll try.

They shouldn't
let me on the road.

Boy, she sure is
a nervous Nelly.

No, no, no, no, she was right
to bring him in.

I mean, loss of appetite
is an important symptom and...

Come to think of it,

dreyfuss has not been eating
very well, lately, either.

I think I'll take him in
for a check-up.

Ha, Laverne,
you know, it's amazing

how much other people
can teach you about yourself.

Whew, I've got to
write that gem down.

Yeah, that's gonna change
a lot of people's lives.

I think I'll take him in
right after work.

I mean, I always say,
better safe than sorry.

"Better safe than sorry."

Lordy, doctor,

we gonna have to get you
a long white beard

and put you on a mountain top.

- Hi, Arthur.
- Hi, Harry.

Always a pleasure to see
a medical colleague.

Arthur, I'm a, I'm a little
worried about dreyfuss.

Well, let's have a look at him.

Okay.

I wanted to be an m.D.,
you know?

Must be nice
getting all that respect,

those special license plates.

You ever seen the inside
of a cow, Harry?

That's my reward.

You know,
I'm real sorry, Arthur.

Uh, how's his temperature?
Well, let's have a look.

My assistant...
We don't have nurses,

you know... took some x-rays.

Oh, temperature's a little high.

If you recall, he does have
a little bronchitis problem,

but that doesn't seem to be it.

How's his appetite been?

It's not so good.

Well, as a high-priced
physician,

you know that's the first
sign of trouble.

Well, yeah, sure.
Of course, I know that.

Whoa, nice watch.

I mean, thanks.

A patient's father
gave it to me.

That's great.

Must be nice
for taking kids' pulses.

Timex.

You don't need
Swiss movement for a pig.

Thank you.

Mm.

Mm? What, what mm?

I was afraid of this.

Dreyfuss has acute
hip dysplasia.

Well, so, what's the prognosis?

Well, it varies.

Arthur, come on, please.

Let me have it.
Harry, there's a chance

that dreyfuss
may never walk again.

My god, that hip's
pretty far gone.

That's right.

And a standard operation
is not going to correct it.

Arthur, there's something
you can do.

Well, there's
a new hip replacement

called the binder procedure,

developed by
a Dr. binder in Georgia.

Results have been good.

Well, let's do it,
let's go for it.

I've got to tell you, Harry,
it's a long operation

and with his bronchitis,

he might not make it
out of the anesthesia.

My god, this is awful.

I mean, I don't
want to risk his life.

Oh, dreyf,
what are we going to do?

Yeah, all right now.

Arthur, what would you do?

Well, if he were my dog,

I'd hate to see him
live with all that pain.

I'd go ahead with the operation.

You're right. Let's,
let's do it, let's do it.

Now, but if this is
the binder procedure,

I want binder.

Harry, this is
a very famous vet.

You don't just pick up...
Arthur...

We're talking
about dreyfuss' life here.

I want binder.
Just get me binder.

Bye-bye, dear.

Did Dr. binder call yet?
Keep your lab coat on.

I tracked down
his pager number in Georgia,

and he should be
callin' in anytime now.

Ah, good.

That is assumin'
he's back from Germany.

My god,
what's he doing in Germany?

Gettin' an honorary doctorate

from the university
of Heidelberg.

Cured one of them weiner dogs
would be my guess.

Dr. Weston's office.

Nick, it's about time!

What happened at the game
last night?

You took a fast ball
in the head?

Oh, my god, are you okay?

Oh, good. What's that?

You took a fast ball
in the head?

Honey, you just told me that.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Hang up the phone now, honey.

Hang up the phone.

Nick's comin' back
tomorrow night.

I'm gonna have to talk
to him about this foolishness.

I'm worried sick about him.

I know what
you're talking about.

I mean, I, I, I, I wish
Dr. binder would call.

I can't think
about anything else.

I can't stand the waiting.

Oh, you're not
the only one a-waitin'.

Them prospective parents
are in your office

to interview you.

Uh, you'll stay by the phone,
in case he calls?

I'll tell you what.
How about I sit on it?

That way, if the ringer's broke,

I'll get it
when my butt tingles.

Hi, there.
I'm doctor Harry Weston.

Hi, I'm Chris.
This is my wife, Susan.

- Hi.
- Pleasure.

We called you, because we heard

such great things about you.

Amy Madison said you're
always there for your patients.

Phone!

I'll get it, I'll get it!

Hello, Dr. binder?

All right, Laverne,
you take care of it.

Just some parent.

Uh, fine now,
where, where was I?

Oh, yes, yes, yes.

Well, I believe in a very
personal approach to medicine;

And, of course, I keep up with
the very latest treatments and...

Hello, binder!

Oh, Carol.

How is he?

All right, all right,
now listen to me.

This is, this is what
I want you to do.

Scratch his belly real hard.

Uh-huh. No response?

Um, try raw meat.

Stick it right under his nose.

All right, honey.
All right, dear.

No, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll,
I'll talk with you later.

All right, bye.

Thank you, doctor.

I don't think we're quite ready
for your approach to medicine.

What? Oh, oh, oh, oh,
no, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm just
very distracted today.

My dog is very sick.
This beautiful dog, here?

We were just
admiring his picture.

Yeah, that's my, my dreyf,
sweet dreyfuss. Huh?

I mean, he's not just a pet.

I mean, he's my pal.
He's my companion.

I had a dog like that.

Doctor, how about
we make an appointment

to come back next week?
Oh, you're very sweet.

I thank you, dear.
I appreciate that very much.

Old waggley.

Used to lick my feet.

Oh!

Dr. Weston's office.
It's Dr. binder.

Hi, Dr. binder.
It's Harry Weston,

thanks so much for calling back.

Listen, is there any chance
you can come to Miami very soon?

Oh my god, I just felt
the first baby kick!

Shh, Susan, this is
about the dog.

Dr. binder's plane
landed an hour ago.

I should have met him
at the airport myself.

Dreyfuss must be so frightened

spending the night
all alone at the vet.

Poor thing.

I bet they have him in one of
those little hospital gowns

that don't close in the back.

Harry, I really need your advice

on this pirate world thing.

Charley, look, I'm sorry,

but dreyfuss' operation
is tomorrow.

I, really, I can't think about
anything else, right now.

Oh, okay.
Of course, I'm so sorry.

You know, I, I totally respect
your concern for dreyfuss.

I guess I'll just have to
make a decision without you.

I won't bother you anymore
with my problems.

Thanks, Charley.

But let's say dreyfuss
got a job offer for,

oh, I don't know,
a new theme park.

- Charley!
- Maybe doing a pirate thing.

Out!

The house feels so empty
without dreyfuss.

It's just not fair.

The only purely nonjudgmental
loving male in the world,

and he might be
taken away from us.

Yeah.

Whenever I was upset,
he was always there for me.

You know, I remember
coming home from the hospital

that night your mother died.

Everything was so unreal to me.

I hadn't even cried yet.

I opened the front door,

and dreyfuss leapt up
to greet me,

and suddenly I had this,
this vivid memory

of the expression
on your mother's face,

that Christmas morning when
dreyf jumped out of the box

and met you all
for the first time.

So, I knelt in the doorway,
and I hugged dreyf,

and that's when I cried.

I cried.

You know it's funny?

I cried on dreyfuss
that night, too.

Me, too.

Poor thing, must've been soaked.

That must be binder!

Okay, okay.

You have a snack ready for him?

Of course, daddy.

I'm a professional caterer,
for god's sake.

Ah, Dr. binder!
Come on, welcome.

I'm Harry Weston,
these are my daughters here.

I can't tell you how much
we appreciate you coming.

We want to make sure
you get a good night's sleep

before the operation.

It's very nice of you
to have me here.

Tell you the truth,

I am sick and tired
of hotel rooms.

- Yeah, travel a lot, huh?
- No, my wife kicked me out.

I'm in the middle
of a terrible divorce.

I was such a fool
to marry that woman!

Oh, nothing like
getting away from it all

to forget your troubles.

Yeah, yeah, I just,
uh, I just, um, I, I,

I can't get her out of my head.

Sometimes when I think of her,

I just get hit with
these terrible fits of despair.

Would you like a cookie?

Awful valleys of depression

that just make me useless
for anything.

Get the snack, get the snack!

Oh, god, home-cooked food!

Did she ever, in her whole life,
make a decent meal for me?

She left me for a younger man.

Son of a bitch
was cleaning my pool.

Oh, god! What did I see
in this woman?

Milk, huh? Warm milk!

Now with that,
you'll sleep like a baby.

God, every Monday,
she smelled like chlorine,

and I never put it together.

Just try not to
think about it, you know.

Come on, just,
come on, just relax.

Let the westons
take care of you.

- Ah, hand, hand, hand!
- Door!

Ah, dah, dah,
dah, dah, dah, dah!

Here, here, here, here!
Give me, give me, give me!

Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Oh, god, his hand.

It's all right, it's all right,

it's all right.
Oh, it's fine. It's fine.

Yeah, nothing, nothing's
broken, everything...

It will be fine.

Just sit back, take it easy.

Now, let's get a nice
restful sleep.

Uh, would you get his bag,
please, Barbara?

Barbara.

My wife's name is Barbara.

Oh, god!

Now, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, it's all right.

Nick? Oh, you did it.

Honey, I am so proud of you.

First man in the minors
to be hit by a pitch

87 times in 1 season.

Thank god, it's over.

Thank god,
you're still in one piece!

You're catchin'
the first flight back to Miami?

Honey, it was the home game.
Don't do that.

Bye-bye, Nick.

All right,
we'd better get started.

I've got a good hunch
about this one.

A hunch? You have hunches
about operations?

Isn't it a little more
scientific than that?

No, the moon's in pisces.

Harry, relax!

Come on, we're going to do
everything we possibly can.

Believe me,
I know what I'm doing.

- Okay.
- Doctor, it's time.

All right, don't worry, dreyf.

Everything's going to be fine.

Don't be scared, dreyfuss.
It'll be okay.

- Mm, I love you, dreyf.
- All right, here we go.

You're the boy.

Good boy.

Dr. Bolton hasn't given us
an update in half an hour.

- Something awful's happened.
- We don't know that.

It shouldn't be much longer.

We're waiting to see if
he pulls out of the anesthesia.

Oh, my god. Oh, dreyfuss.

- I'll let you know.
- Thanks, Arthur.

Oh, I'd give anything to have
dreyfuss come through this.

Carol, if he makes it,

I'll never ever
fight with you again.

And I won't fight with you,
either.

I promise.

I feel completely helpless.

I can't stand this anymore.

I should be with dreyfuss!

Now, I think it's a good thing
that he's goin' in there.

Maybe dreyfuss will sense
he's there,

and it'll help pull him through.

Oh, if anything
happens to dreyfuss,

daddy will never
forgive himself.

Barbara, don't even think that.

Dreyfuss is big, he's strong,

he's, he's not that old.

Oh, I just can't stand it.

Oh, girls, I am so sorry.

He made it! He made it!

He's going to be okay!

Oh, oh, oh!

I'll never forget this,
Dr. binder!

Well, I'm just glad
I could be of some help.

You've got
a wonderful dog there.

Oh, Dr. binder,
we can't thank you enough.

You wanted binder,
you got binder.

Well, thank god for binder!

- Three cheers for binder!
- What am I?

Dog meat or something?
So, you got binder.

Big deal!

Well, I don't know. Anyway...

the pleasure is mine.

Did you see that?
Dreyfuss raised his eyebrow.

Yeah, he's definitely
feeling better, huh?

- Yes.
- Yes.

- Ah, baby.
- Good morning, westons!

Harry, I, I,
I came over to thank you.

You forced me to make
my own career decision.

I, I think I've grown,
as a person,

and I, I feel can

face the world with dignity.

Charley, your fly's open.

Ah!

Third time, today.

Carol, Carol, come on,
leave him alone.

Charley made a decision
on his own.

I think he deserves
our full support.

Thanks, Harry.

You know, I've already memorized
what I'm supposed to say.

Welcome to me lair, land lovers.

Oh...
I jump on me stump,
and with me hook

So, basically,
you show kids to the John.

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no.

Well, that's part of it.

What else do you do?

Well, uh...

Charley, you haven't given
notice on the cruise ship yet,

- have you?
- What?

Are you implying I made
the wrong decision?

Well, no, but Charley,
Charley, you know,

it's really good that you made
your own decision.

But, I don't know...

Maybe we should talk
about this a little more.

Arg!

Harry, you see what happens

when you're not there for me?

Oh sure, fine, you know,
you were there for dreyfuss.

You were there
for the little sick kids.

But what about old Charley?

How could something
that feels so right be so wrong?

Arg!

I've got to go, daddy.

- Bye, dear.
- I'm late.

- Bye, dreyf!
- Bye, daddy.

- Bye, honey.
- Bye, dreyfuss!

Take care, girls.

Oh, my dreyfy,
my dreyfuss, my sweet boy!

Oh, dreyf, oh, dreyf.

You know, dreyf, now that
the operation's all over,

and you're all better,

I can tell you
that I was so scared.

I was afraid
I was going to lose you.

I didn't want to worry you.

I mean, the night
before the operation,

I, I didn't sleep a wink.

And then in the morning, I was...

Ah, dreyf.

I wonder if you have any idea
how much you mean to me.

Huh?

Mm.

Dreyf, I wonder
if you have any idea

how bad your breath smells!

Come here, sweetie!
