HOW'’S HIS EYE?

HE'’S GOING TO BE FINE.

DID THEY BRING IN THE WOMAN?

I DIDN'’T REALLY DO ALL...

WE REALLY DIDN'’T DO ALL THAT MUCH, YOU KNOW?

DON'’T YOU GO RUNNING OUT INTO ANY MORE CROSSWALKS.

OH, YOU'’RE A NICE MAN.

OH, WELL, SO ARE YOU.

I MEAN, YOU'’RE NOT A NICE MAN.

YOU'’RE A NICE WOMAN. GIRL. WOMAN.

ARE YOU MARRIED?

WELL, NO.

ROY. YES, I AM.

WELL, ARE YOU MARRIED?

NO.

HERE.

JOHNNY, PLEASE CALL ME.

ISN'’T SHE SOMETHING ELSE?

I'’D LIKE HER BETTER IF SHE REMEMBERED MY NAME.

COME ON.

YOU THINK YOU CAN MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN,

OR SHOULD I GET A STRETCHER FOR YOU?

HUH?HUH?

BOY, ARE YOU OUT TO LUNCH.

WHAT DID I DO?

MR. BARNES.

I'’M A DOCTOR.

MY JOB IS TO FIX UP DAMAGED BODIES THE BEST WAY I CAN.

AND THEORETICALLY,

I'’M NOT SUPPOSED TO GET EMOTIONAL ABOUT MY WORK.

BUT I'’M GOING TO TELL YOU, RIGHT NOW I AM.

DOCTOR, I'’M...

I'’M NOT A BAD MAN. I...

STUPID, MAYBE. CRIMINALLY STUPID, BUT I...

I...

WHAT'’S GONNA HAPPEN TO US, BOTH OF US?

I REALLY DON'’T KNOW WHERE YOU STAND WITH THE LAW, MR. BARNES,

BUT I DO KNOW THIS.

YOUR WIFE IS GOING TO NEED A LOT OF LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING.

YOU SEE,

SO OFTEN THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF SERIOUS BURNS

ARE MORE DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH THAN THE PHYSICAL EFFECTS.

THERE'’LL BE A LENGTHY HOSPITALIZATION.

A LOT OF HER RECOVERY WILL BE UP TO YOU.

WHAT IF I HAVE TO GO TO JAIL?

I JUST DON'’T KNOW.

I'’M TELLING YOU, MARCO, THESE VAMPIRE PICTURES ARE COMING OFF.

THIS GUY HAD 15 BODIES LYING AROUND.

HEY, JOHNNY, WHAT'’D YOU DO ON YOUR DAYS OFF?

I WANT TO HEAR ALL THE DETAILS.

NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

SINCE WHEN, MAN?

LAST TIME, YOU WOULDN'’T STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.

OH, CHET, YOU CAN SPOT THE SYMPTOMS, CAN'’T YOU?

[ both grunt ]

HE'’S REALLY SERIOUS THIS TIME.

BARBARA, HUH?

WHO?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHO, MAN?

TWO WEEKS AGO, YOU WERE MADLY IN LOVE

WITH A STEWARDESS NAMED BARBARA.

OH, HER. WHAT ABOUT HER?

WELL, YOU WANT TO GIVE HER TO ME?

I MEAN, HE'’S REALLY IN LOVE THIS TIME.

I'’VE HEARD THE CONVERSATION BEFORE.

YEAH. HE ALWAYS HAS THOSE VEINS POPPING OUT OF HIS FOREHEAD

WHEN HE'’S REALLY IN LOVE.

GUYS, I'’M THINKING ABOUT GETTING MARRIED.

YOU REALLY MEAN THAT.

OF COURSE, I REALLY MEAN THAT.

TO WHAT'’S-HER-NAME?

VALERIE IS HER NAME.WHO'’S VALERIE?

I THOUGHT STOKER AND I WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO SHOWED UP FOR WORK.

CAP, JOHNNY JUST STUNNED US WITH SOME NEWS.

WHAT'’S THAT?I'’M GETTING MARRIED.

YOU'’RE KIDDING?Roy: HE'’S NOT KIDDING.

JOHN, THAT'’S TERRIFIC. CONGRATULATIONS, PAL.

WELL, THANKS, CAP.

WHO IS VALERIE?[ clearing throat ]

THAT IS VALERIE.

WOW.

JOHN, I DON'’T THINK THAT GIRL WOULD MARRY YOU.

EAT YOUR HEART OUT, CHET.

ANYWAY, IT'’S GETTING TO BE A REGULAR EPIDEMIC.

WHAT IS THIS, OUR EIGHTH CASE?NINTH.

YOU WANT TO COME IN WITH ME WHILE I BREAK IT TO HIM?

SURE. DID THE TEST SHOW THE USUAL THING?

YUP.

WELL, MR. DANDO, THIS IS DR. EARLY.

HOW ARE YOU, MR. DANDO?

WELL, DOC, AM I GOING TO DIE?

WELL, DO YOU WANT ME TO GIVE IT TO YOU STRAIGHT?

SURE, DOC. HOW LONG HAVE I GOT?

AT THE OUTSIDE, I'’D SAY 30,

MAYBE 35 YEARS.HUH?

THAT'’S RIGHT. YOU DON'T HAVE A FATAL DISEASE.

I DON'’T?

YOU WANT ONE?NO.

BUT I WAS SURE I HAD CARCINOMA OF THE STOMACH.

OH, REALLY?I GOT ALL THE SYMPTOMS.

IN MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION,

YOU HAVE ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF SOMETHING ELSE.

WHAT?VIDEOCHONDRIASIS.

I DO?WOULDN'’T YOU CONFIRM THAT DIAGNOSIS, DOCTOR?

I'’D SAY IT'’S A CLASSIC CASE, DOCTOR.

WELL, WHAT IS IT, [ stammering ] WHAT YOU SAID?

WELL, IN LAYMAN'’S TERMS, TOO MUCH TELEVISION.

OF COURSE. FROM RADIATION, RIGHT?

NO, FROM MEDICAL SHOWS.

HUH?MR. DANDO,

YOU WATCHED THE PROGRAM STOMACH PUMPLAST WEEK, DIDN'’T YOU?

OH, YEAH.

WELL, SO DID EIGHT OTHER PEOPLE

WHO'’VE BEEN IN HERE SINCE TUESDAY. YOU MAKE THE NINTH.

YOU MEAN, ALL OF THEM GOT THE SAME...

YOUR SYMPTOMS.

YES, AND OUT OF THOSE EIGHT PEOPLE, MR. DANDO,

STRANGELY ENOUGH, THEY WERE EIGHT CASES OF VIDEOCHONDRIASIS,

AND NOT ONE CASE OF CARCINOMA OF THE STOMACH.

ALTHOUGH, IN YOUR CASE, IT WASN'’T A TOTAL WASHOUT.

WE DID FIND AN INFECTED EAR.

INFECTED EAR?

WELL, WHAT DO I DO?

GET THIS PRESCRIPTION FILLED AND GO HOME.

OH, MR. DANDO,

IN THE FUTURE, WHY DON'’T YOU STICK TO SITUATION COMEDY, OKAY?

HEY, CHET? IF GAGE ISN'’T GOING TO BE STRIKING OUT

WITH THE CHICKS ANYMORE WHAT'’LL WE CRAM HIM ABOUT?

I GOT A THEORY ABOUT THAT, MARCO. YOU WANNA HEAR IT?

SURE.

WELL, I FIGURED WITH HIS PERSONALITY,

GAGE IS GOING TO BE STRIKING OUT REGULARLY WITH HIS OWN WIFE.

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

WHEN YOU GET TO THE HOSPITAL, OKAY?

YEAH. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA.

CHET, CAN YOU GRAB THE STOW FOR ME?

YEAH.

HEY, KELLY?

YOU BET I'’LL COME BACK AND SEE YOU, BIG RED.

HEY, CHET.

OH, COME ON, MARCO. TASTE, MAN. TASTE.

[ grunts ]

YEAH, I'’LL TELL YOU.

WHEN IT HITS YOU, IT HITS YOU.

BOY, WHEN I MET VALERIE, IT HIT ME.

THREE DAYS AGO, YOU DIDN'’T EVEN KNOW THE GIRL EXISTED.

ROY, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.

NOW, THESE PAST THREE DAYS HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.

INCREDIBLE!

I MEAN, VALERIE IS JUST... SHE'’S...

SHE'’S JUST THE PERFECT WOMAN FOR ME AND THAT'’S THAT.

YOU DON'’T EVEN KNOW HER.I KNOW HER!

YOU DON'’T HAVE TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT SOMEBODY.

YOU FEEL INSIDE, TOO, YOU KNOW.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, I HOPE YOU'’RE RIGHT.

WELL, I AM.OKAY.

HOW LONG DID YOU AND JOANNE KNOW ONE ANOTHER?

TWELVE YEARS.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? TWELVE YEARS?

TWELVE YEARS IS MORE RIDICULOUS THAN THREE DAYS.

WELL, WHEN WE MET, I DIDN'’T HAVE A JOB.

I WAS ONLY IN THE FOURTH GRADE.

THE FOURTH GRADE?YEAH, FOURTH GRADE.

WELL, VALERIE AND I ARE NOT IN THE FOURTH GRADE. WE ARE ADULTS.

WE HAVE FOUND ONE ANOTHER AND WE ARE HAPPY, SO, THAT'’S THAT.

IF THAT'’S HOW IT IS...

THAT'’S EXACTLY HOW IT IS.

WELL, THEN I'’M HAPPY FOR YOU.

WELL, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

NOW, YOU JUST STICK TO THOSE

1,800 CALORIES A DAY, GINGER,

AND TAKE THE PILLS THE DOCTOR PRESCRIBED FOR YOU.

AND YOU WON'’T EVEN KNOW YOU HAVE DIABETES,

BUT NO CHEATING. I MEAN IT.

ANYBODY EVER TELL YOU THAT YOU HAVE SEXY EYES?

GINGER, YOU'’RE MAKING A PASS AT DR. EARLY?

SURE. WHY NOT?

WELL, YOU MUST HAVE SOMETHING

THAT WE'’VE BEEN OVERLOOKING HERE.

LOOK, I'’VE GOT SOME MORE ROUNDS TO MAKE.

WILL YOU EXCUSE ME?

YOU KNOW, YOU'’VE MADE HIM BLUSH?

HE'’S REAL NICE.

EVERYBODY'’S BEEN REAL NICE TO ME AROUND HERE.

WELL, YOU MAKE IT EASY TO BE NICE.

I WISH ALL OF OUR PATIENTS WERE AS EASY TO GET ALONG WITH.

I'’LL BE KIND OF SORRY TO LEAVE,

IF YOU WANNA KNOW THE TRUTH.

MOST WOMEN, WHEN THEY GET TO BE MY AGE,

THINK ABOUT RETIRING.

ME, I GOT NOTHING TO RETIRE ON.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A...

DANCER?YEAH.

TOO LONG.

EVERYBODY RUNNING AROUND NAKED, WHO NEEDS A STRIPPER?

SO, I SWITCHED TO BELLY DANCING.

BOY, IS IT EVER HARD WORK.

TOUGHER THAN STRIPPING?

IN A WAY, WHEN I WAS A HEADLINER.

I HAD THIS SNAPPING TURTLE.

IT REALLY WAS A GREAT ACT.

BUT THIS BELLY DANCING IS FOR KIDS.

ATHLETIC KIDS.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING, DIXIE?

IF I COULD BE A NURSE, LIKE YOU,

I'’D GIVE UP SHOW BIZ IN A MINUTE.

GINGER, YOU KNOW WHAT THIS HOSPITAL HAS THAT MIGHT INTEREST YOU?

WHAT? BESIDES DR. EARLY.

A DAYCARE CENTER FOR CHILDREN.

YEAH?MMM-HMM.

THEY HIRE PEOPLE TO WORK IN IT.

YOU MEAN, TO TAKE CARE OF LITTLE KIDS?

THAT'’S RIGHT. THEY'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR GOOD PEOPLE.

YOU KNOW, IT'’S HARD TO FIND WOMEN

WITH THE PATIENCE TO HANDLE THOSE KIDS ALL DAY LONG.

DIXIE, I COULD HANDLE LITTLE KIDS ALL DAY LONG,

SEVEN DAYS A WEEK,

AND I'’D NEVER GET TIRED OF IT.

WHY DON'’T YOU LET ME TALK TO DR. EARLY AND DR. BRACKETT?

YOU KNOW, I WOULDN'’T BE SURPRISED

IF WE GOT YOU RECOMMENDED

FOR THE NEXT OPENING THAT COMES ALONG.

DIXIE, THAT'’S THE NICEST THING ANYBODY'’S EVER DONE FOR ME.

YOU KNOW WHAT?WHAT?

I THINK I'’M GONNA CRY.

WELL, DON'’T YOU DARE BECAUSE THEN, I'’LL CRY.

NOW, I GOTTA GET GOING. SEE YOU LATER, GINGER.

NOW, GIVE ME YOUR ARM.

THIS ISN'’T GONNA HURT.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHOSE DOG BIT HIM?GEE, I DON'’T KNOW.

WELL, WE'’RE GONNA HAVE TO FIND THAT DOG SOME WAY,

OR HE'’S GONNA HAVE TO HAVE SOME RABIES SHOTS.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE THE DOG MIGHT BE?

I KNOW WHERE THE DOG IS, MISTER.

REALLY? WHERE?

OVER THERE.

UNDER THAT THING.

OKAY.

Roy: COME ON.[ dog whimpers ]

CAN YOU SEE HIM? DOES HE HAVE A TAG?

[ blows raspberry ]

WELL, SO MUCH FOR SWEET REASON.

BUT THAT'’LL BE OKAY. TAKE HIM TO THE DOCTOR AND GET A TETANUS SHOT.

THANKS...

ROY.ROY.

[ stammering ] VALERIE,

YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU HAD A KID.

WELL, NOW YOU KNOW.

WOULD YOU COME WITH ME FOR A MINUTE?

SHARON!

IS THIS YOUR LITTLE...

MY DAUGHTER. SHARON, THIS IS MR. GAGE.

HE AND I ARE VERY GOOD FRIENDS.

DO YOU MAKE AS MUCH AS THE CAPTAIN?

COME ON OUT, HONEY. IT'’S OKAY.

WELL, I...

[ chuckles nervously ]

HEY! YOU'’RE NOT GONNA BE MY NEW FATHER, ARE YOU?

[ screams ]

[ clears throat ]

I... WE'’VE GOTTA GO BACK TO THE STATION.

JOHNNY?YEAH?

WILL I SEE YOU TOMORROW?

OH!

[ whispering ] COME ON, LET'’S GET OUT OF HERE.

I THOUGHT THEY WERE KIND OF CUTE.

DADDY.

DADDY.

MAN, I HAVEN'’T SLEPT SINCE LAST SHIFT.

YEAH. YOU OUGHT TO GO BACK TO BEING DUMPED EVERY FEW DAYS.

YOU WERE A LOT EASIER TO LIVE WITH THEN.

MAN, I DON'’T KNOW WHAT I'’M GONNA DO.

WELL, MAYBE YOU'’RE READY FOR MARRIAGE,

BUT YOU'’RE JUST NOT READY FOR INSTANT FATHERHOOD.

ROY, THOSE AREN'’T EVEN NICE KIDS.

ONE'’S A BITER,

AND THE OTHER ONE WANTS TO KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY I MAKE,

AND THE LITTLE ONE KEPT GOING, "DADA, DADA."

HAVE YOU TALKED THIS OVER WITH VALERIE?

WHO? OH, VAL... I HAVEN'’T EVEN SEEN VALERIE SINCE THAT DAY.

I HAVEN'’T CALLED HER, SHE HASN'’T CALLED ME.

ARE WE STILL ENGAGED?

OH, WHO KNOWS?

[ stammering ] MAYBE YOU JUST SHOULDN'’T CALL HER AT ALL. IT'’LL ALL EVAPORATE.

NO! NO, I'’VE GOTTA DO SOMETHING ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

I MEAN, I'’VE EITHER GOT TO MARRY HER OR DUMP HER.

OKAY, WELL, WHY DON'’T YOU GO BACK

ON ALL THE WAYS YOU'’VE BEEN DUMPED AND JUST CHOOSE FROM THERE?

OH, YOU'’RE A BIG HELP. YOU'’RE A BIG HELP.

NOW, I'’M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT

AN HONORABLE WAY OUT OF THIS SITUATION,

AND ALL YOU CAN COME UP WITH ARE CUTE QUIPS.

WELL, I DON'’T THINK IT'’S EXACTLY HONORABLE FOR THE GIRL TO HAVE THREE KIDS,

AND NOT COME UP FRONT AND TELL YOU ABOUT IT.

I AGREE 100%,

BUT I'’VE NEVER IN MY LIFE DONE SO WELL

WITH SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CHICK.

DON'’T WORRY, NEXT TIME YOU GO LAST.

Roy: MORNING.

MORNING.

STILL HAVING YOUR PROBLEMS WITH VALERIE?

NOT EXACTLY.

NOT EXACTLY? WHAT'’S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

YOU STILL GOT THE PROBLEM WITH HER,

OR YOU DON'’T STILL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HER?

A LITTLE BALD-HEADED GUY NAMED PETERSON, A LAWYER,

CAME BY TO SEE ME YESTERDAY.

SHE'’S SUING YOU FOR BREACH OF PROMISE.

NO, SHE'’S SUING THE GUY WHO HIT HER WITH HIS CAR.

HE'’D JUST COME BY TO GET MY DEPOSITION.

SO?

THIS PETERSON TOLD ME THAT HE AND VALERIE

ARE GETTING MARRIED.

YOU'’RE A LUCKY MAN TO BE OUT OF THAT.

YOU'’RE NOT A LUCKY MAN TO BE OUT OF THAT.

ROY, SHE DUMPED ME.

SHE DUMPED ME.

I THOUGHT THAT'’S WHAT YOU WANTED.

I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO GET RID OF HER.

YEAH, I DO. I DO. I...

I JUST DON'’T LIKE BEING DUMPED.

YOU KNOW, I REALLY APPRECIATE THE WAY YOU KNOW

WHEN TO REAFFIRM MY FAITH IN YOUR BASIC INSANITY.

YEAH? WELL WHATEVER THAT MEANS,

THE SAME TO YOU.

Roy: I'’LL BUY THAT.
