'You're listening to WPLP Hartford News'

'radio 14, good afternoon, I'm Bradford Burkey.'

'Among the stories we're following for you'

'several official sources were reporting'

'the son of the Mexican ambassador'

'to the United States was kidnapped'

'in Mexico City today.'

'A hotel maid in Idaho City, Idaho'

'had reported finding a death threat'

'against President Carter on a mirror'

'in one of the rooms on Monday.'

'Here's the forecast from Meteorologist'

'Bill Kamal on the weather center.'

'Tonight cloudy, light rain'

'overnight lows will be in the low..'

I should've rented on the first floor.

Certainly wish you had.

'Well, simple tests we do here.'

Anything complex, we, uh, we send out.

But, there's good labs around. There's no problem.

Uh, it's a sunny room, you'll be thankful for that.

And, uh, there's a separate entrance here

to your examining room.

Curtains, color of your choice.

Whatever you want.

And we've our own parking in the back

you don't have to put your car on the street.

- Oh, nice. - Doctor?

Uh, Dr. McInerny.

Ah, excuse me.

'Doctor's office.'

- Hello! - Hello!

I failed that test.

That's not funny.

Laugh, laugh!

- See you later. - Oh, I'm sorry.

- Hit it! - Wilson!

We'll, uh, have to call the hospital

and see when they can schedule you.

It's overnight?

Oh, I shouldn't think so, I mean it's not a difficult test

but it does require some preparation on your part.

I'll have, uh, Mrs. Pritikin give you

all the necessary information

and she'll answer whatever questions you might have.

It's not an ulcer, you think?

Well, the tests will tell us that.

Mrs. Pritikin?

Call the hospital and schedule Mrs. Gans?

She's gonna have a BE and an upper GI.

We'll do the, uh, BE first.

Also, you better, uh, explain to her everything

that she'll need to know regarding her diet.

Hut!

Stay right there now. The right set, get set, now..

Gerry, get set, get set.

Hut!

Face mask violation, Josh!

Good afternoon, Dr. Kendall. I have two messages for you.

Thank you, Murphy.

Who's that guy, that, thirty..

- What is.. 37. - 37.

- I love him. - Is he new?

What!

Okay, whose is this?

Come on! Come on!

I'll kick this. I won't go get it.. Ah!

- Get it. - In a minute.. Here I come!

I got it!

I got it! Yossarian!

Ellie.

- Yeah, what happened? - Are you alright?

- My leg.. - Are you okay?

My leg, it hurts.

- Right. Right. - Don't try to move.

Hey, Buffy, you went to trip or somethin'? It serves you right.

Listen, Gerry, we gotta workout, buddy. Come on, let's go.

It hurts.

- Let's get her up. Come on. - Okay.

Ready?

- Ready? Up! - Put your weight on your left.

Thank you.

...very relaxed way right now.

Why? What's the problem?

'Are you sitting down?'

- 'Yes.' - I broke my leg.

'Oh, Buffy.'

'How the hell did you do that?'

Never mind how I did it.

It was very stupid.

'Anyway, Gerry is here'

'and he'll drive me home when he's finished.'

No.

No, that is not what we will do.

Now, I'm gonna call Dr. McInerny 'cause I want him in charge

and then I'm gonna call your father

and he and I will be right down.

Look, look, that, that isn't nec..

That.. Oh.

Buffy? Buffy?

Hey, she's really hurting. Can't you give her something?

'In the middle of practice, there's this ball'

'flying around the sidelines.'

'Emerson was shouting his head off.'

Every single play, Gerry got creamed.

'Who's Emerson, a new boy?'

- Coach. - 'He's the coach.'

'We were screaming and laughing'

'I swear, it didn't hurt.'

- It's just.. - A tibia fracture, simple.

- Is that Elizabeth? - 'Mm.'

'And then I said, "Leg, move"'

'and when it didn't'

'that's when it began to hurt.'

'Where's Dr. McInerny?'

Uh, Nassau in the Bahamas.

Vacation.

She's so fond of Walter.

'Now, you got your own walking autograph book.'

Elizabeth, how did you break your leg?

- She kicked a ball. - What kind of ball?

It was a soccer ball, it's like a basketball.

'Now, why don't you stay like that for a bit'

'and it's gonna set, we'll get you some crutches here'

'you should stay off it.'

- 'I'll be in two.' - 'Oh, thank you.'

Uh, I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner

the, uh, message didn't reach me

the way it was supposed to.

Um, I'd like to take some history.

- Now? - Well, it has to harden up.

'Can we find a pillow? This must be uncomfortable.'

'Um, Elizabeth, is it possible'

'that you twisted your leg as you kicked the ball?'

Is it hurting?

They gave me something.

Who do I see about, uh..

...the paperwork?

I think you see the desk.

Call my office, will you? Tell them I won't be back.

'Did you ever break a leg before?'

- No. - Just an ordinary leg?

Nothing's ever bothered you?

- Sore muscles sometimes. - Was it sore?

But no particular pain?

- Do you have a cold? - No.

- Virus? - No?

Okay, well, you have another ten minutes at least.

Please wait here till I get back.

I'm gonna check with the, uh, radiologist.

PA in lateral chest.

The heart is not enlarged.

The lungs reveal no pathology.

The diaphragm's not elevated.

Impression, no gross abnormalities.

Period end.

Lower right leg, the patient's name is Koenig.

- This afternoon, she was... - You want me to take a look?

Mm-hm.

I think it's an unreadable X-ray.

Oh, my department and I

don't seem to be able to do anything right, do we?

Never mind, I really don't wanna hear the answer.

- Okay. - Who took this?

Probably Magell, if it's kind of light.

I see a linear fracture.

You see anything else?

I can't see anything.

The whole film looks foggy.

It should be taken over again.

Is there any kind of lesion there?

It's not the sharpest, but the break looks clean enough.

Anything that might suggest a pathological fracture?

- Why? - I do not need a why.

If it's there, one of us should be able to see it.

And I don't think the quality of that film

is supportive of any diagnosis.

Hey, lady..

...if you have any reason to doubt it

we'll take it again. I'll do it myself.

I'll go all around it, whatever it takes

whatever I have, it's yours.

That's all I want.

- What are you looking for? - She kicked a soccer ball.

Just kicked the ball straight on.

It hardly seems like enough.

How old is the patient?

Seventeen.

Maybe some periosteal elevation?

Could be. You're right.

It's not a good picture.

Get her back in.

I'm sorry.

Two adjusters came in just as I was about to go.

They wouldn't leave.

- Yeah. - Sorry.

I couldn't get rid of them.

The break was caused by a tumor in the leg.

Now, here's the tumor and this is your fracture.

And right along here is what's called

a periosteal elevation.

It's caused by the tumor.

This is the second set of X-rays that I ordered.

Now, on the basis of this X-ray

I ordered a complete workup.

That meant bone scan, a tomogram.

I then spoke with the chief of radiology at the hospital

a staff oncologist, and I also spoke with a Dr. Frucht

who's an orthopedic surgeon.

We met, went over all the material and we all agreed

that she should be re-admitted to the hospital

and a biopsy performed as soon as possible.

Well, when does, uh..

When does Walter McInerny get back?

Oh, that's not for at least, uh, a week.

Well, can't we wait until then?

Well, you, uh, you can. But, I wouldn't.

On the basis of all the information

I'm confident that Dr. McInerny

would concur biopsy, and biopsy quick.

Uh, this is a simple operation...

What's the worst?

A malignant tumor.

That's the reason for the urgency.

Now, uh, wait a minute.

We have to know the worst that it can be.

Well, of course, but let's take it one step at a time.

We-we can't, we can't go two steps at a time.

We... we have to take one step, then we find out

where we are, then we can go on from there.

This wouldn't be disfiguring, would it?

'Doctor's office.'

Not the biopsy.

Look... the implications

are very serious, I understand that.

I also understand that you may wanna seek another opinion.

By all means, please do, I'll give you

all the necessary information.

Also, should you go ahead with it, Dr. Blankenship

and Dr. Frucht would meet with you

and tell all of you everything that you would need to know.

Well, it's not a question of trust, you know.

So, I... will meet with these men

and, uh, take it from there.

I think that's prudent.

She's just a little girl.

'We don't want to scare her.'

Well..

...I'll have Mrs. Pritikin arrange the consultation

'and also I think we should re-admit Elizabeth'

'to the hospital as soon as possible.'

'Yeah, it's coming there..'

'Yeah, it's coming..'

'Alright, good.'

'Good. Yeah, it'll be better.'

- Oh. Lotsa blood this time. - 'Yeah.'

Okay, here we go.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Okay, here we go.

Got it?

Alright, fine.

Get a hemostat in there.

Did she come from in there?

Maybe.

Make a frozen section of this.

Okay.

And make sure you do a touch imprint

before you freeze it.

Alright.

Boy, he's makin' a fortune selling this

it's a not clean surface.

We ought to be able to wear shoes and tux..

It's Dr. Frucht.

This is Pathology calling in the frozen section diagnosis

'on Elizabeth Koenig.'

'What you have is an osteogenic sarcoma.'

'It's an angry-looking anaplastic tumor.'

'And whatever we see on the permanent slides'

'it's not going to be any less malignant.'

'Do you want me to come up?'

If we do, we'll holler. Thank you.

What about a resection?

It's a dream. I don't see that latitude.

I'd amputate the lower leg and the knee.

But if the rest of the bone looks clean enough

I'm just asking, I'd like to leave her

with a working knee if I could.

Doctor..

...the knee isn't worth it.

'Pulse 64, respiration 16.'

'Elizabeth?'

'Elizabeth, open your eyes.'

'Surgery's finished and you're in the Recovery Room.'

'Open your eyes.'

'Good, I want you to take'

some deep breaths.

Good. Take another.

Good.

Good afternoon, doctor. Vital signs are stable

and her dressing is dry and intact.

Thank you.

My throat.

My throat is really dry.

That will, uh, ahem, go away.

Are my parents here?

Not in this room at this moment.

Do you want them?

I know there are bandages down there.

I haven't got any guts, you know?

Please?

Yes, we found malignancy.

It was the one we thought it might be.

We performed the amputation, Elizabeth.

There's no indication that it's traveled.

Well..

...we can let this get us down..

...or we can find a way to accept it

and, uh, get on with the business of living.

'Fingernail changes are common'

'in patients with chronic renal disease.'

'Identification of these changes'

'may help to differentiate acute'

'from chronic renal disease.'

'A narrow, one to two millimeter band, dark band'

'at the distal portion of the nail'

'combined with a relative paleness'

'to the proximal nail.'

'As described by Terry'

'"Is common in patients with chronic renal'

'or hepatic disease."'

'I would truly say that it is not a specific sign'

'and there are false-positives.'

'When the dark band occupies'

'twenty percent or more of the nail band'

'this is called the half-and-half nail'

'and when this is present chronic renal disease'

'is usually present.'

'Muehrcke described the double white bands'

'or the paired white bands in patients'

'with hypoalbuminemia'

'and Mees or a single white band or line has been..'

I found this article about a man who lost his leg.

And he skis.

Oh.

'No word yet on the body of a woman'

'found yesterday in West Haven, right near the New Haven Line.'

'Police say the identity of the woman is not yet known.'

'The nude body was found yesterday morning'

'in a wooded area by two passersby.'

The Turners are next.

Have a nice evening.

'Yeah, I agree. I thought so..'

Surrounded by loyal favorites, bodyguards, slaves..

'Adoring subjects prostrate before him.'

'Each sign, hieroglyph and object'

'in this chair is a work of art.'

'Among the legends on it are..'

'...a hope for a long life.'

' "May the good God live," it says.'

'Son of Amun, king of upper and lower Egypt'

beloved Tutankhamen, ruler.'

'But destiny ruled otherwise.'

'No long life for this ruler.'

'In ten years he would die.'

'God at nine.'

'And a childhood already'

'dissolving in the morning mist along the Nile.'

'And one wonders..'

'...did his feet touch the floor?'

'A golden shrine on a sled of silver.'

'A sanctuary, protection'

'in the long journey after death.'

'The entire surface is covered with scenes of royal life'

'all of it in gold relief.'

'The small shrine stands only a little more than a foot high.'

'Inside are the imprints of tiny feet.'

'Try to presume that a solid gold statue'

'at the Tutankhamun stood here.'

'Stolen by those ancient robbers.'

'How long your fingernails been like this?'

Never noticed.

How 'bout your feet?

I don't look at my toes.

My problem's up here.

Don't you listen up here?

Yeah.

- Dr. Kendall? Hi. - Yeah.

Dr. McInerny would like to see you

in his office for just a moment.

- As soon as possible. - Oh, okay, um..

Get a sputum on this patient.

What's that?

You know how to cough up and spit out?

It wouldn't be a marriage

made in heaven as far as I'm concerned.

Bud, please, we've had this discussion.

Huh?

Th-the fact that..

...she's a woman, I..

That could help.

That's important.

And if you think that I'm disturbed

well, I'm not, she's a first-class physician.

You wanted.. Oh.

Hello.

Hello, Dr. Kendall.

Dr. McInerny tells me

that Elizabeth is in good spirits.

We had a nice visit.

Now, Buffy has requested

so her parents tell me

that you continue as the attending physician.

And I've told 'em

my feelings haven't been hurt in the least.

I'd be happy for you to continue.

Well, she, uh..

She asked?

Yes, she asked me.

And, uh..

...we thought that..

Well, until she's stronger

you know, less emotional..

Uh, we wouldn't want you going to her with, uh..

...every horror story, of course.

The idea here is..

'...is to protect her peace of mind.'

'Well, yeah.'

I feel that she was never really my patient.

That I was simply acting for Dr. McInerny

'until he returned.'

Well, we know that.

But, you seem to have

made her your patient.

Anyway, that's the way she feels.

I made no effort to do that at all.

No, no, no. Not suggesting any such thing.

But now, let's accommodate her.

And I'll see her occasionally.

We're old friends.

There's every reason to hope

she's going to survive this thing.

'I feel good about her.'

And if she's not so simpatico with me

she wants a female doctor, you've got to respect that.

I left a patient in the middle of an examination.

'Uh, at this moment, I really feel that I should be there.'

Excuse me.

Thank you.

- Goodnight, Diana. - Goodnight.

See you tomorrow.

Oh, Walter? Can I talk to you for a minute?

- Yes, ma'am. - What should I do?

Well, let's see if you can make all the details

out of it tomorrow. Will do.

Um, I wanted to talk to you about..

Well, you put me into an awful bind in there

this afternoon with the Koenigs.

I mean, between the daughter on one side

and the parents on the other

I just.. I don't wanna treat that girl.

I think this is a good case for you to handle.

The parents want me to tell her happy stories...

She's going to be your patient, Sandy.

Now, the girl is pushy, but she's a minor.

You're bigger, you're stronger.

Well, lying is not my standard of good medical practice.

What we practice in this office..

- Goodnight now. - Goodnight.

We practice my standard, and it's plenty good enough.

Now, you'll treat the girl, and you'll conform

to the wishes of those people.

Every reason to think she'll survive.

Hope. I said hope.

Goodnight now.

Goodnight, Walter.

Please tell the nurse that I don't need

any more painkillers. She keeps bringing 'em to me.

'Okay.'

Oh, uh, get me something to read about what it was.

Alright.

And if I have to stay here

I really want a room with people in it.

I think that can be arranged.

We'll talk to your parents.

Dr. McInerny doesn't know anything about me.

Ah, except how he delivered me and whomped my bottom.

And I can do it again, if I have to.

If I ask him things..

...he gets clutched and he skips the hard part.

I just wanna know what's happening

the same second you do.

The second afterwards.

Arm down.

'It's a curious world, to be in heaven'

'It's more wonderful than it is convenient.'

'More beautiful than it is useful.'

'It is more to be admired than to be abused..'

Oh, damn!

Why does he..

I was just calling you on the phone.

You didn't have to bring those by, I...

No problem, we deliver. Can you say the same?

'I awoke with the impression of a question..'

So, the, uh, sanctum sanctorum.

Architecturally speaking.

- May I? - Ah!

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

And this one's for you.

- For me? - Yeah.

Oh, thank you.

What is she gonna do with these?

She wants to know what she has

really learn about it.

Why, this is interesting. Thank you very much.

You're very welcome.

I don't think it's a good idea.

You know, why scare her to death?

'Maybe.'

She'll pick out all the worst possibilities

and not be able to evaluate them.

I don't give a damn how much she reads.

I mean, how's she gonna tell how differentiated

her tumor is, or how anaplastic?

Please don't read my private papers.

Sorry.

Listen, I'm not her priest, I'm not her analyst.

If she really wants to learn, she will

and she may as well learn right.

Oh, I see.

Instead of getting those, uh, filthy ideas

from the kids hanging out at the corner.

"Hey, man, osteogenic sarcoma."

Listen, um, I really appreciate you bringing by the books

and I'll get them back to you.

Actually, she was very lucky to have you.

I'm looking for an invitation.

Come on, doctor. Don't give me a hard time.

May I say the same?

We have nothing going, do we?

Give me an opportunity.

We'll find out.

'Do you have somebody?'

Listen, I have a lotta reading to do

and you're coming at me like a teenager.

- I don't accept that judgment. - 'Well..'

Maybe badly..

...but I'm telling you, I'm attracted to you.

Well, what is my obligation to like you back?

I don't know you, and I'm very content about it.

You're a tense person.

Oh, come on!

You give me a hard time the other day.

"Here is a divorced woman"

and now all this stuff.

Listen, I'm not a pin cushion.

Make no decisions for me.

- I wasn't doing that. - Oh, please!

I wasn't prepared for company.

Not that I clean this place for guests

but I do wear adult appropriate clothes.

So, if you don't mind, thank you very much for the books.

'I will get them back to you.'

There's the door.

'That's right!'

'What is it?'

It's names of chemicals.

Wouldn't mean anything to you.

'What are they?'

Drugs called Adriamycin and Cytoxan.

What about methrotrexate?

It's methotrexate.

We'll use that later.

Now, stay still.

Pretty small and very early.

But, I suspect it.

It might.. I don't wanna overread this film.

- This. - And here.

Oh.

Don't quote me on this. I know how fast it can spread

and they're predisposed to call the densities that way.

Disappointing it's showing up this quickly.

It's a crime.

This can't make a convincing separation

between metastasis and blood vessels. Not yet.

Two to three weeks, I'll do a tomogram.

Well, you just keep on with the chemo and..

...see what these are and see if they grow.

I don't think you have to tell her anything.

She's going to ask.

Discretion is the better part of valor.

'So, it was generally concurred, including Dr. McInerny'

'that well, you know, we would have to wait for another... '

Wait, wait! How can that be?

Well, it's, uh, it's not a definite finding.

It's not an infallible answer machine either...

Well, that is what you're supposed to be.

No, I'm not.

Well, you come on like you are.

Far from it, Elizabeth.

Okay. What do you think though?

I'm willing to wait for another few weeks.

Oh, you mean you don't think either?

- Why buy more trouble than... - I wanna know!

Don't tell me that!

I said when I know, you would know.

I said nothing about when I speculate

I would clue you in on my speculations.

Right.

What did you find in my leg?

- You never told me that! - Wha..

I said exactly what you had.

You, you, you said osteogenic sarcoma

the books say there are lots of different kinds.

- Exactly what it... - It doesn't matter.

- The tumor in your leg... - Come on!

You are asking multiple choice questions

and all I have are essay type answers.

I'm sorry, Elizabeth, but that's the truth.

Where's my leg? What did they do with my leg?

- Where'd they put it? - Wha..

Well, that's a morbid question.

Okay, I'm a morbid person. Tell me!

They took the tumor for study.

Terrific. Do I get a grade on it?

What about the rest?

- What rest? - The leg.

- I don't know. I didn't ask. - You don't wanna know, do you?

- No! What difference... - You can't face it!

- Maybe not! - Look, we had a contract!

You wanna know? Alright, I will tell you!

I will go out and I will do research

and I'll come back in here in 15 minutes

and I'll tell you exactly how this hospital

disposes of amputated limbs.

Do you want the answer, yes or no?

It's not that important.

What?

She thinks I'm crazy anyway.

Now, she just thinks you're crazy too.

- Yay! Buffy, yay! - 'Yay, Buffy!'

Buffy, let me get that in front.

Here, Mr. Koenig, I'll take the suitcase!

Okay. Hey, Gerry, good!

I can't.. Can-can you take it?

I can't do the stairs too well.

I'm gonna hop down, I'm gonna hop down.

- Oh, you hold on.. - Yeah!

- Steady. - It's easy!

- Good! - Alright!

- Dad! Dad! Dad! Daddy! - Wait, Bud?

- She needs it. - I'm..

Okay!

Thank you!

We're gonna put you in the back.

Yeah!

There you go!

- I got.. - Did you take 'em?

Alright. You okay?

That's good. Buffy, you want these in the back?

- Here. - 'Yeah.'

- 'Flowers? I got it.' - Yeah, I'll take 'em.

- Daddy? - 'Yeah?'

Daddy, I'll take the crutches back here.

'Okay! Here you go.'

- We'll see you later, alright? - Okay.

- Are you coming by? - Yeah!

You'll be at the house afterward? Okay!

Bye!

Easy does it now.

This place looks like a pigsty!

Oh, you recognize it, huh?

This is my room.

- Buffy, welcome home! - Your room?

- There you are. - Here, I'll take that!

- Thank you! - Josh!

Okay, up!

Is it okay?

- 'Surprise!' - Look what we've got!

Welcome home.

'It's your own TV set.'

It's even got a remote control.

- Yeah. - Leave it to the..

- Sorry. Ah! - It's alright, Josh.

Huh, that's a big part of the surprise.

- You can't keep a secret. - It's beautiful, daddy!

There's a remote control for it.

- Now, the top button should.. - Yeah?

You have a, a volume control.

- That's great. Up or down. - 'It should be an eight!'

That's good, and then, you can change the channel.

'...big double! Nice double!'

'Here's the insurance marker for the box start.'

'Tell me how you wanna make..'

How's everything?

Uh, well, I got a..

I got a game... anyway.

- Okay. - Take care.

- You need any help? - No.

Get some rest. I'll be back in an hour.

- Buff, I'll call you! - Okay.

- Bye! - Hey, I'll see you later, okay?

You want the door open?

No, closed.

Got everything?

- Good morning. - Good mornin'.

- I've missed you. - Ha-ha!

I see. I didn't miss you.

Oh, well, I think now you owe me one.

No. No, I think we're even.

I think you owe me a movie.

- Really? - Yeah.

Good morning, doctor.

Buffy.

How much longer?

Mm, about ten minutes?

Keep your arm still.

# Welcome to the workin' week #

# Oh I know it don't thrill ya #

Hello!

# Don't kill ya #

# Welcome to the working week #

# You gotta do it till you're through it #

# So you better get to it.. ##

What is so funny?

Ah, they made me drink a glass of milk

and I've got a mustache.

It's gone. It's gone.

- You got it. - Good. Okay.

Now, what, may I ask, is that?

- Do you like him? - Oh, yes!

He's the thing from the "Black Lagoon."

His name is Harry

and I think he's made out of Velveeta.

No, no.

He's made out of the hair of the Australian naugahyde.

So, he sets up this suite of offices..

$150,000 worth.

Really, with monogram towels

original art in the waiting room.

I mean, you can't believe what this guy went through.

And the first day he waits, not one patient.

- Not one? - Not a one.

And the second day, nobody comes in, no referrals.

Even his family's healthy!

- Two.. - Those!

But, the trick is, you have to dissolve 'em in your mouth.

'Cause if you chew them, they pull your teeth right out.

Jujubes.

- Are you kidding? - Huh?

They're Jujubees, not "Jujubes."

You know, you've gotta stop thinking

this is a student-teacher relationship.

- Oh... - Come on.

- What-what? - What?

What are you doing there?

Well, I'm gonna put a fly on your nose.

- I wouldn't do that to you. - No.

Oh! Oh, it's adorable!

You like it? You're adorable!

# The French I took #

# But I do know #

# But I do know that I love you #

Whoopie!

Oh, well, what do you expect?

They're right downstairs.

Well, when is a door not a door?

# What a wonderful wonderful world it could be #

Go on, they won't come up.

Okay.

# Don't know much about geography #

Uh, no. O-okay, lock it.

# Don't know much about algebra #

# Don't know what a slide rule is for.. #

Gerry, would you look at me?

I mean, look at me?

You know, you're stupid about yourself.

I mean it!

# Wonderful wonderful world #

# Now I don't claim to be an A student #

# But I'm tryin' to be #

# I think that maybe by being an A student baby #

So?

# I could win your love for me #

# Don't know much about the Middle Ages #

# Looked at the pictures and I turned the pages #

# Don't know nothin' about no rise and fall #

# Don't know nothin' about nothin' at all #

# Girl it's you that I've been thinkin' of #

Mm..

That's the worst it'll look.

- Listen... - Is it terrible to you?

No, never as much as you think.

Now... it's not bad for me.

'No.'

Well, I'm not afraid of it

and I don't want you to be

and if you are, you have to say.

Listen..

Do you wanna know how you look?

A little..

...abbreviated.

You're dumb!

# What a wonderful wonderful wonderful world #

Feel my heart!

# Now I don't claim to be an.. ##

Uh..

I'm sorry!

You have black all over you now.

I do?

Where?

- I got.. - Right..

Right.. Okay, right here.

Well, um.. Thank you very much.

I had a nice time.

Are we ending it right here?

Um... okay.

Uh, do you want something to drink?

If you are.

You mean, you only get thirsty if I do?

Yeah, in a way. It's contagious.

Uh, well, let's see, I have..

I have some juice and I have some wine.

Wine. What kind?

There're only two kinds.

Oh, I see. I'm dealing with an expert again.

Right.

Hold it, let's just go sit

and have the drink and then you go.

Okay? I just wanna say that right out.

Okay.

Just beginning to understand the house rules.

I'm sorry.

The whole thing was kind of a flop, wasn't it?

Yeah.

Well, I can't..

I just can't sit still at movies.

I never could, even when I was a kid.

Mm. Oh, but Phil could.

He could see a double feature and come home

and watch "The Late Show."

- The ex-husband? - Mm.

He was studying lifestyles.

That was his big research project.

Lifestyles.

In the movies, on the tube, anywhere! Soaking them up.

Trying to find one that he really liked.

He was a pisser.

Did he find something he liked?

Not that I know about.

Listen, would you like to listen to some records?

I have some classical jazz.

I mean, they're the reissues.

They're not the '78s, but they're terrific.

- Wanna hear? - Sure.

Maybe there was another woman.

Phil? Hardly. Huh!

He wouldn't even think about intercourse

until the television commercials came on.

'After 12 years, jingles about denture adhesives'

and margarine began to have an erotic quality to them.

I mean, is that a way people are supposed to live?

'That's what I've got to show'

'for 12 years of married life.'

Man had a problem.

Well, he kept talkin' about

a meaningful relationship and a meaningful sex life

and a meaningful orgasm.

Whatever any of that was, I didn't see it.

I don't know what to say to any of that

except, that was then and this is now.

- What are you doing? - Physical contact.

Hasn't got a chance here, has it?

Well, it's not an important thing in my life right now, no.

Does it have to be important?

Well, it ought to be more than scratching an itch.

- Don't you think? - I don't know.

Is there some virtue in leaving itches unscratched?

Oh, alright, listen if I lead you with all of this

to think that I am ready to be scratched, you are mistaken.

No, no, no, I-I'll tell ya.

As an investment, in the biblical tradition

of casting one's bread upon the waters..

I'm gonna go.

'Oh, he's leaving.'

# But God bless the child that got his own ##

'No pretentious prognostications.'

'No superfluous verbiage..'

- Nervous? - How can you tell?

Guessed.

You can stay here for a while.

- No, no. - It's early.

I wanna get in before the kids.

Oh, no, it's okay.

It's okay.

Go, mom.

It's okay.

Hi!

Hello! Mwah.

...gave us a test about anopheles mosquitoes

and I don't think there was a single kid

in the entire class that had any idea

what an anopheles mosquito...

I certainly don't have any idea...

I.. Where did she get that?

She just started to call.. It was just like a little quiz!

Mrs. Archer?

No, I don't believe it in a million years.

Oh, Josh Bears..

I don't put it past her..

Okay, uh, I give to the ones who ask for it.

"The American Encyclopedia"

"The New Book Of Knowledge"

and "The World Atlas."

- Uh, "New Book." - I'll take the, uh, atlas.

- Thank you. - Where would you like this one?

On the bench.

You guys, we gotta get back to work.

Yeah!

Yeah.

- Getting a divorce! - Divorce.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. How do you know?

I was in class..

When she said we should always now call her Ms. Shapin.

Shapin.

It's a cesspool of liberation.

Um, Koenig's X-rays come in?

- Here they are. - Thanks.

It's not good news, is it?

I... wish you would've..

...told me over the phone.

I would have.

- Hi. - Hi.

I almost gave up on you for today.

Oh, well, we real life doctors

have to compete with those TV versions.

House calls are coming back.

- You wanna slip off your jeans? - Yeah.

All over the country. Research.

Millions of dollars.

Research.

Sh-she didn't say no hope.

I'm not gonna take her word for everything.

I'm gonna talk to Walter.

And, uh, and I'm..

I'm not gonna sit passively

and let this happen.

I'm not... giving up, Fran.

Well, I admit I d.. I don't know what to do.

Y-yes, but..

There's no use bemoaning

the fact that the cure is not gonna be

as easy as, as we may

may have hoped. Now, we..

That's the life situation.

That is not the life situation!

They never used the word cancer before. Did they?

Fran..

Now, I don't trust what they say.

I know that there are cancer centers

and, and clinics.

And new treat..

New treatments.

Walter will give me the records.

- And.. - She'll give you.

The records, Fran. Of course!

Bullshit!

She's a liar!

It feels fine! Really!

- Good! Again. - Ugh!

- Terrific. - Ugh!

There's, um, a kind of pulling, sometimes.

Oh, the phantom pains.

Very strange. I can even wiggle my toes!

Do you suppose it's somewhere where my ex leg is...

Don't start that again.

You brought your homework.

Yeah. Uh, have you been using the prosthesis?

Mm-hmm. It still hurts a little, though. It's still sore.

Hm.

Are those my x-rays?

Yeah. You wanna see 'em?

I've been reading your book, "Catch-22."

What's in 'em?

Things could've gone better.

Dammit.

So, next we do different chemicals..

...and all over again.

And some experimental drugs if necessary.

Well, they don't transplant lungs yet, do they?

Maybe I could be frozen until they do.

Why me?

Dammit!

You know, if I was born in Panama

chances are this wouldn't happen.

The lowest death rate in the world.

You can't just bundle her up, huh?

Drag her around from place to place.

Give me more credit than that.

I think we should go as a family.

You're assuming the worst.

These cases come through all the time, every day.

Nobody will care if we don't.

You can't depend on this doctor or that doctor

to really care and spend 24 hours a day

trying to make her well.

Would you stop interrupting me?

Don't let everything slide by, not now!

Dr. Blankenship tells me there's a very good chance

at using a program with this DTI.

See, it's an experimental drug

and the feedback's been very good.

But after that, what?

And after the next thing, what?

When the experimental things don't work.

- Oh, but there's always resea... - Be real.

What have you got for me then?

You just have to let me go.

- We wouldn't just let you go. - It's sore!

I'm sorry.

You wouldn't just let me go.

Come on, that's a standard bullshit.

- It might be. - I don't want it.

I'm giving you the best I can.

Forgive me. I never died before.

Maria?

I'll call every day.

And you can reach..

...Mr. Koenig for any emergency.

- Don't be afraid to call him. - Yes, Mrs. Koenig.

I know this is too much.

Take very good care of yourself, Mrs. Koenig.

Yes, doctor, thank you.

I'm, I'm contacting you regarding your project

of the, uh, uh, cancer alignment.

Oh, well, I found you in the, uh, uh, summary

and then also I got a personal recommendation from NCI

the drug investigations bureau.

It's the amino.. Oh, I'm sorry.

Kendall.

Yes. West Hartford, Connecticut.

No, we're about one hour later

and 30 degrees colder than you are.

Listen, I, uh..

I have a-a 17-year-old patient

with a osteogenic sarcoma

and I'm looking for any kind of experimental program. So I..

In the cl.. Yes.

Yes.

Oh, I see.

Okay.

That's okay.

Alright. Yeah. Okay, bye.

Bud?

Bud!

E-everything alright?

Sure. Terrific.

Hi, I didn't know you were in yet.

Did you have a good night?

- Hi. - Hi.

Let's talk a 60-year-old man.

There's no indication for surgery.

That's right. It's right in front of me.

It's a calcified nodule.

You know, and probably a granuloma.

There's no need to operate. That's right, forget about it.

You know he operates anyway.

Was that Bobby Beal, the one who started fighting?

Yes, it was.

I thought he was thrown off the team.

Yes, it's true.

- Is he back on? - No, no.

- He just kept his equipment. - Ah.

- Here, let me help you. - No, no, i... it's alright.

It's alright. Ah.

- Heh-heh. - Oh, come on.

You're disgusting.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Listen, you can't rhyme humble apologies

with fumbled histologies.

It doesn't make any sense.

It worked, didn't it?

Well, yes, I wanted to see you, too.

As a matter of fact, I, uh

I stopped by your office last week

but your secretary said you were in transit somewhere.

Yeah, well, I'm back. Keep trying.

How have you been?

Busy.

Walter keeps pushing new patients on me.

I keep running to the, um, computer bank

to find some kind of an experimental program

for the Koenig girl.

Oh, oh, yes.

I skipped my medical association luncheon

last week.

My father's an alcoholic.

Has been for as long as I can remember.

He's just livin' out his days at some place

he ended up, a VA hospital.

I flew down there and I flew back.

He wants me to join the Masons.

Send him his Masonic apron.

Uh, apron?

It's what a mason wears when they bury him.

Oh.

And the man's all regrets and apologies.

Yeah.

He told me he never had a happy day in his life.

What about your mother?

Not in this world, I'm afraid.

Broken back, broken heart, years ago.

Are you happy?

- I think so. - Hm.

I thought so.

Are you?

I don't know that I believe in it.

Happiness?

Is it so necessary to take everything so seriously?

Oh, I don't take things seriously, everything..

I mean, I was a happy kid.

It's just that..

Oh, I don't know how to explain it. Um..

It's just that at this time in my life

all my energy just seems

to want to go into the work.

I don't know, whatever I have, it just goes there.

I don't know.

- Short visit. - Yes, well..

- I enjoyed it. - Oh.

You're very much on my mind.

- Listen, um... - The troubles...

Well, the night that you took me out

I didn't mean to send you away upset.

You didn't send me away upset.

I decided to stop hitting on you

in my customary way.

Yeah.

You were upsetting me and I was upsetting me.

And, uh..

...I have certain feelings for you.

And I would like to be close to you.

What do you think?

Call me.

I've been thinking about it, too.

- So, call me. - Oh, yes! I will call you.

And improve the quality of your poetry!

What have you been reading?

Oh, oh, um, a book called "The Golden Bough."

I don't know it.

Oh, it's, um, it's about, uh

primitive magic and superstition, religion..

Like, um, the same things reappearing

in different tribes and cultures.

And, uh, it's about this thick.

I love that stuff. Can I borrow it?

Sure. There's a lot of nice things in it.

Okay, answer me this question.

Energy can be transformed into matter, right?

Right. Or, the other way around.

So, where does a person's energy go?

I mean, where does the energy go?

Does it change or, or what?

Well, the, the book talks about that.

It's like, um..

# All my dreams #

# Pass before my eyes #

It's like, um..

It's like your soul..

...is in some object that's separate from you.

Like, uh, a special tree

or a bird.

# Same old song #

But I-I would say..

# Just a drop of water #

...that because it's the energy of a person..

...it will keep the specialness of that person..

...no matter what it changed to.

# We refuse to see #

# Ah # # Dust in the wind #

# All we are is dust in the wind #

# Oh ho ho #

- No! No! - What?

- No. Hey. What... - Go-o!

Okay. Okay.

# Now don't hang on #

# Nothin' lasts forever but the Earth and sky #

# It slips away #

Uh, my, my, my folks and I

are going up to, uh, New Hampshire

to check out some places where I got acceptances.

- Dartmouth? - I'll look.

# All we are is dust in the wind #

Sue's going there. She was accepted there.

# Dust in the wind #

# Everything is dust in the wind #

Buff?

Uh, why'd you push me away?

Tsk.

Harry and I are going steady.

Yeah. Do you..

Do you really want me to go away?

# I close my eyes #

# Only for a moment and the moment's gone #

# All my dreams #

I think I will always love you.

You pick such funny words.

# Dust in the wind #

# All they are is.. ##

I hope you have a long memory.

- Good evening, Mr. Koenig. - Hi.

- It is cold. - Yeah.

Goodnight.

I needn't have gone since they just say, uh.

"No use, nothing."

Just dismiss her.

Yeah.

I met a woman at-at the airport.

'She'd been through it with all these doctors.'

'You know, one after another.'

She gave me this book on nutrition.

And.. She was telling me

about places in Germany and Mexico.

But these doctors don't have all the answers.

You know, not by a long shot.

The other night..

...Buffy and I got into the piano bench.

All the old photographs..

'...albums.'

There was one of us..

...that night that I tried to carry you

through the snowdrift.

'Remember?'

That was a hell of a night.

God, you were beautiful.

Tsk.

Oh, I had snow in my boots, my shoes were wet

snow down my coat, in my ears, back of my neck..

That was junior year, wasn't it?

The first dance.

No, it was..

Yes, it was.

Junior year. My God!

I had that coral dress.

It was gathered right here.

'Snow on the hem.'

There's no house without you, Franny.

Hi, Bud. Kinda rushin' the season, aren't you?

- Got to do it sometime. - Yeah.

- How's Buffy doing? - Better.

Do you need help?

Yeah! Come on down!

Oh..

You know, this thing doesn't bend very well.

Walking or sitting?

Well, just when I'm sitting. It doesn't bend down.

Okay, hold on.

I think the breathing's better. You think?

Maybe. Take some deep breaths.

Okay.

So, where are you from originally?

- Indiana. - Heh.

The Hoosier State, right?

Yes.

Okay, you can tell me now.

What is a Hoosier?

A Hoosier is a native of the state of Indiana.

Listen, you are not running a marathon.

You can stop, you know.

You know, when I was a kid, I figured out what it meant.

Ninety-five percent of all the stockings

were manufactured in Indiana prior to the war.

It comes from the word hosiery.

- Is that true? - Half the state is barefoot.

How could you..

Yes.

- Excuse me. - Yeah.

This is the Manfredi diet.

- You're familiar with that? - Yes, I am.

Were you ever married?

Just drink your diet.

Uh, did you finish "Catch-22?"

Yes, I did. It was terrific!

Yossarian was wonderful. I loved him.

He said what was killing us is all the standard bullshit.

- Oh, sit down. - Okay.

So, were you married?

Yes, I was. Then I was divorced.

How old were you when you got married?

Why are you asking me these questions?

You cut me open. So, I wanna know about you.

Hey, I didn't cut you open...

Well, you did, kind of, and I didn't like you.

Well..

Well, did you love him when you married him?

God!

Questions get tougher towards the end of the test.

- Huh? - Mm-hmm.

Well..

We were mistaken..

...I think, about love.

Hm. God!

We were only two years older than you are right now

when we got married.

Uh, yeah.

Well, it was a bad choice all the way around.

I didn't know who I was, who he was.

He didn't know.

Oh, yeah, and then, and then..

...I helped to put him through engineering school.

So, when I wanted to go to med school

he couldn't..

Well, we just couldn't do for each other.

You know what I mean? I mean, really do for one other.

And then, towards the end

there were a lot of cruelties back and forth and..

I guess..

...we were just sort of tied to who we didn't want.

Well, anyway, he went to California. And..

He went for warmth and I went for winter.

Well, it's okay. I-I don't have to leave right now.

I got a divorce.

You did?

I told my boyfriend to stay away.

I just..

I feel like I should start to clean things up, you know?

At least you had it. You know what I mean?

- The marriage? - Oh, um..

The physical thing. That kind of love.

Okay, any time you start to feel faint

panting, coughing, okay?

- Can I get high on this? - Shut up and breathe.

- Oh. - Okay?

Now, you mustn't use any lighted material.

Cigarettes or candles or anything.

We should have a, a extra bottle, right?

- That's a good idea. - I remember you.

You got a big machine.

I remember you. You got a big mouth.

Oh.

Excuse me.

Look, you're fighting it.

Let it wash over you like a wave.

Just take it in. Just take it in.

Once you get the rhythm, it won't be so bad.

Then you can go for long periods without it.

That's it.

Face mask, pilot?

You know, there's a place in Maryland

where any kiss that lasts over a second

is against the law.

Gee. It sounds like Connecticut.

Hm.

I'd like to examine her, please.

She hasn't been bad.

It'll only take a few minutes.

'Please?'

I have a present for you.

Something from my deep, dark past.

I got it when I was 13.

- I wanted you to have it. - Oh.

- Oh, it's terrific! - Good.

- Um.. I don't... - Now, listen.

There is a clip that can fit right by the tube here, so...

No, no, no, no. I, I..

- I don't want any more tubes. - Okay.

Let me tell you about my stale bread theory.

You know, when, when bread gets stale

and sometimes, right in the middle it's still soft?

Uh-huh.

Well, my theory is

that maybe, when the body dies

in the center of the brain there's still a few cells

that haven't gotten the message yet

and are alive and feeling.

And I would be trapped..

...alone in there

sealed up, just a machine.

Sandy, please..

...I don't want to be like that guy in "Catch-22"

with just tubes going in

and tubes coming out and the machinery.

But that was a satire.

Well, I don't want to be a satire.

Well, you never could be.

Well, suppose I was trapped..

...with just those few cells?

Maybe, when you die

that moment feels fantastic.

I don't wanna be a joke, a nerd

a carcass that can't be anything.

You'd know when it's time.

That's my horror, that part.

I wanna make that par-part of our contract.

I'd like to think..

...that that moment could be fantastic.

But, what if I don't know?

You'd better. I'm doing the hard part.

Oh..

You know, when we first came in here

I thought we were in the wrong apartment.

Spring cleaning?

Oh. I don't know.

Old Indiana custom?

I guess they still do that.

Then in June, they put slipcovers over everything

and put up the screen.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Look, I know why she wants to be home

but I think that's a clumsy setup with the oxygen.

Home it is..

...and will be.

You were very good with her.

Thank you.

I like to feel I'm good at what I do.

Well, a lotta people can be good with machines

but you have a human touch.

Do you think you could turn my head off?

Have you tried dating an anesthesiologist?

Jesus, medical humor.

I don't wanna turn anything off.

I've always wanted to be a healer.

When you feel pain, I feel it.

And I wanna heal it.

'Ma?'

Ma, ma, ma.

'Ma?'

'Ma?'

Buff, Buff, Buff.

It's alright. Steady, babe.

Y-you need..

You need this, Buff.

Here we go.

Ah.

Is it, is it on?

It's going?

It's, it's going on, Buff.

- Huh? What? - Uh, uh..

Head-headache, headaches.

Your headache?

Okay, now.

Oh, it's, it's going just fine.

Just-just-just breathe in real..

Alright, just easy, remember? Real easy.

Now, let's, let's put it around you.

You don't even ha-have to hold it.

Alright, here we go.

There it is. There it is. Slowly.

Buff, slow.

Slow.

Real easy.

Alright?

Alright, here we go.

Here we go.

Here we go.

Mm.

Better, huh?

Had a bad dream, Buff? Ha.

- Huh? - H-hate the name Buffy.

Yeah. Here we go.

'She had a bad dream.'

I don't know what happened.

Oh, oh, please..

Help me.

Buffy did very well this morning.

- Good. - She was awake.

- Even tried to read. - Not for long. Oh.

Her temp was slightly elevated.

Was she very responsive when you tried to rouse her?

I'd give her a five out of ten.

- Maybe a six. - Oh, good.

Hi.

# When she's dancin' 'neath the starry sky #

# Yeah I think you'll flip # # Here she comes again #

# When she's dancin' 'neath the starry sky #

# Here she comes again #

# I kinda like the way I like the way she dips ##

Excuse me, I'm gonna start the IV.

- Excuse me. - Yeah.

Thank you.

Any change?

Ah. Everything alright?

Thank you very much.

'This time we don't know what you have behind the curtain'

'and, uh, take a look at another curtain.'

'Take a look at curtain two, it'll open up'

'and show you, as I promised.'

'Jay will describe the wax.'

'Fifty dollars for the liquid car wax.'

'Turtle Wax, new improved, hard-shell formula.'

'Cleans, polishes, protects in one easy operation.'

'Turtle Wax, the world's largest-selling liquid car wax.'

'Alright, now you have curtain number three'

'about which we know nothing.'

'You did turn down $900 a few moments ago.'

'We have curtain number two that starts with some car wax'

'and there's something behind it.'

'You can elect to keep one, give up the other.'

'Which one do you want to keep, Marquita?'

'Marquita wants curtain number three.'

'What was behind number two?'

'What goes with car wax? A car!'

Ready when you are. One, two..

Did you see who did this?

Doctor! Doctor!

- Yes? - Your office on the phone.

Oh, okay.

'We didn't have the patient's history.'

We responded to the patient's needs

as we understood them.

We're accustomed to treating respiratory arrest, doctor.

- She was blue. - In this case, it would've..

What is she on?

Oxygen was given in the ambulance.

We gave her sodium bicarbonate, two amps.

Dr. Wing said she had a cardiac arrest.

Did an EKG to confirm this.

She's on a respirator and Lidocaine.

There's no future here. You should've let her go.

- On who's authority, doctor? - And cover her up.

I'm sorry, babe.

You were quick to call the ambulance.

It wasn't the kindest thing you could've done.

Thanks.

Is she..

Is she gone?

Oh..

- Oh, hi. Good evening. - Hi, Susan. How is Myles?

Pretty stable. Right now 130 over 90.

Pulse is 76, and his urine output is adequate.

Hey, Mary, can you get me his chart, please?

Well, if you want, I'll see her again.

There's no material here to work with.

As far as where she stays is concerned, uh..

...if she feels so strongly she should be home

well, she's certainly stable.

Portable respirator. Why not?

Long run, it won't make a difference.

Okay.

Um, did you ever read "Catch-22?"

Wasn't that a movie?

It's not a serious question.

'The reality is she won't get well.'

It won't happen.

The cancer is progressive and incurable.

The coma..

...it's irreversible.

There's no such thing as irreversible coma.

People have been in comas for years and come out of it.

And if she did, what would she be?

Her brain tissue is gone, it's gone.

I'm sorry.

She is talking about killing her.

'We know you want the..'

'...the best for her.'

She's not suffering.

We don't know that.

Her greatest fear, she said

was that she would be left this way.

It terrified her. She begged me not to let this happen.

Please.

There's no limit to the amount of machinery

that we can plug into her, but that's not Elizabeth alive.

What I'm talking about..

...is letting nature decide.

No.

She's, uh..

...our daughter.

You know?

We love her.

No.

If she needs further care..

...we'll put her back in the hospital.

We understand, doctor..

...but it would be impossible..

...for us n-not to treat her.

No, ma'am, you can't defend that

against the wishes of her parents.

Uh, they shouldn't have to feel guilty

about wanting her supported

with whatever medical equipment

there is in the world.

Now, we are obligated to do wh...

'What she feared most'

'was that she would wind up... '

Was dying.

And I take it hard and you've made commitments

just as I make commitments..

...and you hope that they're possible.

And when you do all you can, that is the extent of it.

- Have I done all I can? - Now.

Don't go batty over one case.

We will have her readmitted as a no code blue

and wait for the... respiratory arrest.

Thomas, Lewis J.

Oh, yes. He's the tall man. Acute renal failure.

Well, that's from the burns after the accident.

Well, that should turn around, but just look in on it.

What Elizabeth asked me for, over and over

from the first day, one way or another

was not to take her dignity away!

Crap! Dying is not dignified.

- Oh, Walter! That's not true. - There's nothing dignified.

About dying. It's just, that's all there is to it.

And, meanwhile, she's hung up on a respirator liquefying inside.

Sandy, I will take the case away from you if you want

or if you're going to act precipitously.

The patient will be maintained either by you or by me.

Dear, listen to the voice of experience.

I did. It was that same voice of experience

that made the patient mine.

If we pursue this argument as far as we can..

...we won't be able to be associates any longer.

- Let's stop. - You're gonna whomp my bottom?

I'll boot you out.

# You mean I've been dancin' on the floor darlin' #

The Koenigs have just gone out for dinner.

'They'll be right back.'

I'm giving you the opportunity of leaving the room.

You're wrong, doc.
