ANNOUNCER: Here are some scenes from part one of "Emergency."

Hi.

Uh, I'm DeSoto. This is Gage.

We're from LA County. The driver said to report here.

Oh, sure. We-- we've been expecting you.

Hey, welcome to San Francisco. - Thank you.

Thanks a lot.

[screams]

MAN: Harry!

You all right?

Harry!

[alarm]

MAN [ON RADIO]: [inaudible] alarm.

OK, McCoy.

When the [inaudible] rescue unit gets here,

pull them in the yard.

[engine running]

Folks, the--

Pull me down a little bit more.

[bell ringing]

Oh boy, I didn't know we were gonna be in for that kind

of a civilian paramedic.

OK.

We got it?

Yep.

[siren]

[tires screeching]

Where are we?

[tires screeching] - Where are we?

What happened? Where are we?

- Frank? - What?

- Relax. - Wha--

We just had an accident. You're gonna be OK.

ANNOUNCER: And now part two.

[music playing]

Well, let me put it this way.

I was a little doubtful, but, uh, I've changed my mind.

Those women are good.

Relax, Roy.

That's the 10th time you've said that today.

I mean, they're not superhuman, you know.

I know, I know.

I-- I'm just very impressed by the way they do their job.

Did you ever stop to think that they

could get into something that they can't handle?

I mean, they're still women, Roy.

They could get hurt. Hurt bad.

Pete?

Am I reading more into this than just professional interest?

Well, Laurie Campbell and I, we

want to get married, except--

Except what?

I just can't get used to the idea of my wife

doing what Laurie does.

It's just-- it's too dangerous.

Oh, wait a minute now.

Uh, you're still going out with Laurie, right?

Yeah.

And Gail, she-- she's married, right?

Ha.

To a civilian who doesn't know where it's at as far as

her job's concerned. - Uh-huh.

Well, does knowing about it make it any more dangerous?

No, but what can I do?

I mean, Laurie's a big girl.

She makes her own decisions about everything,

including my hang-ups. Come on, I'll show you around.

All right.

[music playing]

Harvey, it's getting dark.

What I'm saying now is knock off for the day, huh?

First you tell me hurry up, Harvey.

Now I should stop everything. What do you want from me?

I don't want people to notice what you're doing.

Those torches are like signal flares.

Will you stop already?

- You only gave me two days. - That's your problem, Harvey.

Knock off now.

Give me an extension.

No.

No!

OK, everybody.

That's it.

Knock off!

I want everybody back at 6:00 AM sharp!

[whistle]

We'll never get it done.

Brother-in-laws, brother-in-laws.

Never trust your brother-in-law.

Plain drunk.

Couple of detox days, he'll be fine.

Let me get some supplies. Be right back.

OK.

Something's on your mind?

Yeah.

This is, what?

Five runs in two hours?

Boy, you're good.

You're really good.

Thank you.

It's nice to hear.

But, uh, that's not it, is it?

No, not really.

Listen, I was wondering if-- - [giggles]

You're a nice guy. - Oh, well--

[chuckles]

I am really flattered.

Mm.

But right now my life is kind of committed.

What do you mean, kind of committed?

[chuckles]

It's a long story.

Do you want to hear it? - No.

You might not have to.

Come on.

Ellen?

Ellen, hi.

I have a friend for you to meet.

This is John Gage.

He's a paramedic with the LA County Fire Department.

WOMAN [OVER PA]: Dr. Crawford, 3212.

Oh, that's nice.

Ellen Ankers.

WOMAN [OVER PA]: Dr. Crawford, 3-2-1-2.

Hi. How you doing?

Hi yourself.

So, uh, I think you two can get acquainted without me.

Uh, mm-- uh--

[sighs]

This-- she's really nice.

Uh, she's, uh-- listen, um, well, we're gonna be, in, uh--

in town, uh-- I-- I mean, I'm gonna be in-- in-- in San

Francisco for, oh, next, uh, couple

of days or-- and I was just wondering if, uh, you know--

I get off at 8:00.

You get off at 8:00.

Well, that's-- that's-- that's per-- that's perfect.

[chuckles]

Yes.

That's perfect.

Get this report back to me as soon as possible, would you?

Thank you.

Laurie.

Well, you weren't gonna walk by without saying hello, were you?

Oh, I'm sorry, Dick. I didn't see you.

[chuckles]

You are about the only woman in this hospital

who doesn't notice me.

I know.

They're all wild about you.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

Look, for the 100th time, why don't you come

out and have dinner with me?

I'm sorry, Dick.

I can't.

It's that, uh, fireman again, isn't it?

You know, I don't understand how you can

prefer a mere fireman to me.

Well, take your time.

Take my time what?

Trying to understand.

Bye.

WOMAN [OVER PA]: Dr. Carr, 1881.

Dr. Carr, 1-8-8-1.

How did you hit it off with Ellen?

[chuckles]

No problem.

Gonna have dinner with her tonight at 8 o'clock.

You're gonna miss the busiest part of the night for runs.

Eh, there's always tomorrow. Hey, listen.

You guys gonna go by the hotel? - We could.

Why?

Well, I was wondering if you drop me off.

Psh.

Goof-off.

[music playing]

[sighs]

[chuckles]

[hums]

Hello, babe.

What are you doing here?

I live here.

Well, you could've knocked.

[knocks on door]

Uh-huh, very funny.

Thought you were gonna ride out with Rescue 2.

Thought you were gonna ride out with the ambulance.

Well, I was.

But I, you know, changed my plans.

[laughs]

Oh.

[sighs]

[chuckles]

You going any place special?

No, no place special.

You?

Well--

[chuckles]

--no.

No place special.

No.

Look, uh, if you got something going, I'll, uh--

No, no.

I-- that's OK.

I don't--

Look, look.

I just want you to have a good time.

This is San Francisco.

Why don't you just go ahead and go on without me?

Are you trying to get rid of me?

- Why do you say that? - What makes me say that?

Because it sounds like to me you're trying to get rid of me.

Uh, I mean, every word you're say--

look, if you want to be alone, that's fine.

Just tell me. I'll leave you alone.

It's fine. It's OK.

[chuckles]

OK.

OK?

OK.

I don't care.

I don't care.

Just remember, Roy, you're a married man.

[chuckles]

[whistles]

[music playing]

Well, being a paramedic isn't as exciting

as most people think it is. Not all the time, anyway.

I mean, sometimes we eat and it's pretty boring.

[chuckling]

I think it'd be fascinating, just like you are.

Oh.

well-- listen, you could be a paramedic.

Up here, anyway.

Mm.

Uh-uh.

It wouldn't be the same.

Besides, I don't think it's very feminine,

if you know what I mean.

Mm.

Well, um, in your case, I know what you mean.

You are so sweet.

Mm.

Here's to San Francisco--

[clink]

--and femininity.

Mm.

Johnny, you just make me so warm and tingly all over.

Oh, yeah?

That's the wine.

Uh-uh.

It's everything.

Oh?

You are the nicest, sweetest, most exciting

man I think I've ever met.

[laughs]

Go on.

Don't carry it too far.

No, I really mean it.

You're just not like the, uh-- all the others.

All the others?

Well, yeah.

You know, the, uh, kind that-- well, you know.

Oh.

Yeah, it's a real bummer, huh?

Oh, yeah.

There's something that seems to be much more solid about you,

more permanent.

Say what?

M-- m-- more permanent?

Mm-hmm.

I can see it in your eyes.

Oh, you can see that in my eyes?

Yeah. You know, the eyes tell all.

Well, um, what exactly do you see in my eyes?

I see you and me, Johnny.

Is that-- is that right?

I am so happy.

I just wish this, you know, could go

on forever and ever and ever.

Forever and ever and ever.

I've never felt like this before.

[laughs]

I know what you mean.

Sure is getting hot in here, isn't it?

You are such a kidder.

I know.

Boy, I'm a real kidder.

Oh, Johnny.

Here is to the story of something wonderful.

Yeah, here's to tonight.

[clink]

We sure have had fun, haven't we?

[laughs]

Here is to us forever, Johnny.

Forever. [clink]

Well--

[music playing]

[music playing]

I told you guys 6 o'clock.

Is it 6 o'clock?

No, it's not 6 o'clock.

It's going on 7 o'clock.

Where have you been?

OK.

Charlie, take those a-stern.

We're gonna cut all that stuff off there.

Frank, when you're finished with that winch back there,

I want you to get your tanks and bring 'em below.

We're gonna get all that junk out of the main engine room.

Mike and the rest you guys, get those barrels up.

Now let's move it. Come on.

All right, you guys. Let's go.

All right, you guys. You heard him.

He's trying to muscle us. Don't worry about it.

You two guys, go down below, take care of the barrels.

Help me with the winch.

[clicking]

[music playing]

DOMINIC: Hey!

Hey!

What are you guys doing over there?

Get that stuff out of here.

Hey, you guys crazy?

Watch what you're doing.

Harvey!

Charlie!

Come on and finish this.

Oh, what is it now?

Tell your goons to keep away from my merchandise.

They're gonna damage something. They're gonna cause trouble.

And they're gonna cost me money!

Dominic, I'm doing my best, OK?

24 hours, Harvey.

You got 24 hours to get this scow off my pier!

I can tell time. What do you think I am?

An idiot?

What's so funny?

Get it done!

And all the rest of you guys, move it!

[music playing]

Boy, am I bushed.

Yeah, it's been a long day.

Oh, I never was much of the tourist type.

Yeah.

Well, I never learned so much in such a short period of time

in my whole life.

I'm gonna go take a shower.

Hey.

Hey, uh, Roy? ROY: Hm?

- You got something going? - No, nothing special.

Other than going out?

- Yeah, for a while. - Oh, good.

I'll go with you.

Ah, it's OK.

You don't want me to go?

ROY: It's OK!

You sure?

ROY: It's OK!

Don't wanna go anyway.

[shower running]

Huh.

I wonder where he's going.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Ah.

Hey, Ellen.

How are you doing?

Good.

A-- a home-cooked meal?

Oh.

Oh, no.

I'm just, um, eating a donut.

And I'm not-- I'm not really-- huh?

Sure.

I'd-- I'd, uh-- I'd love that.

When?

[sighs]

Sure, I'd-- OK.

All right.

[chuckles]

OK.

See you then.

Yeah.

[smooch]

Yeah.

Look, I gotta go.

Bye bye.

Oh boy.

How did I get myself into this?

[crickets chirping]

So the question remains, are the manifestations

of Doppler effect in [inaudible] with velocities

and the line of sight?

GORDON: Well, in the spectra of celestial bodies,

you have to consider the source of light.

SON: When it approaches the observer.

Exactly.

I see.

That's how we get the stars' radial velocities, then.

I would say that.

And, you know, you developed an interesting theory before.

Uh, excuse me.

Would anyone like some more coffee?

Yes, me.

[clears throat]

Mom?

Hm?

Can I be excused?

[chuckles]

Conversation's over our head.

Not that.

I'm just kind of bored.

Uh, well, maybe you two would like to watch some television,

huh? - Can't.

I'm using the picture tube to test a new dynacube design.

Oh, really? Have you worked on an approach?

Yeah, you should see it, dad. I--

Uh, maybe later, huh?

OK, mom.

Come on, Julie.

See you later, kids.

Gail, they're wonderful.

If you say so.

Gail tells me you two want to get married, but can't.

Gordon!

What?

Uh, did I miss something?

That is what you said, isn't it?

Uh, not exactly.

I--

You see, Gordon, there's nothing actually stopping us.

Well, that's good.

Pete wants me to give up my job.

Hm.

Makes sense, I guess. - You see that?

He's on my side.

Gordon, I'm a paramedic.

Wha-- what do you mean, that makes sense?

Well, that's right, Peter.

Gail and I have a perfectly good relationship.

Yeah.

And the kids, they're happy.

Let me ask you something, Gordon.

You worry about Gail a lot, don't you?

Oh, yes.

Yes, I do.

She never gets the proper iron intake.

Have you been taking those vitamins like I told you?

Gordon, we're talking about the dangers of the job.

Dangers?

Well, that job's not dangerous.

Is it?

What do you say we all go in the living room and have

an after-dinner drink, huh? - I'd say yes.

Good idea. Good dinner.

Dinner was really, really nice.

Oh.

Hey, get to it.

We've got a lot to get done.

[seagulls squawking]

[whistle]

[whistle]

[seagulls squawking]

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Hi, John.

Well, you guys trading off again, huh?

Yeah.

I kind of decided the less I show up at the hospital,

the safer I'll be.

[laughs]

I get the feeling that Laurie introduced you to Eager Ellen,

huh?

Eager Ellen?

[chuckles]

All right.

Eager Ellen.

See you later. - OK.

Have a good day. - Take it easy.

- Bye. - Bye bye.

Laurie?

Hm?

I've been thinking about us since I've

been in here and, uh--

Hm, what about us?

Well, about your job and everything.

It seems that--

I've been doing some thinking about your job too Pete.

Mine?

Yes, I realized it yesterday.

It is far too dangerous.

It's 20 times more dangerous than mine.

So what about it?

Pete, I can't possibly consider

marrying a man who risked his life

every time he went to work.

You what?

Believe me, now I understand how you feel about my job.

It is really terrible always wondering.

Oh, come on, Laurie. You're just going--

No, Pete, it's OK.

You were absolutely right.

Considering our jobs, marriage is out

until we find other lines of work for both of us.

Both of us?

But Laurie, there's thousands of guys in firefighting

who are married.

You're kidding?

You mean just like in paramedics?

You--

[laughs]

- Careful. - It hurts when I laugh.

Well, then don't laugh.

[inaudible] home free.

Oh, man.

Just as long as I can get out the doors.

ELLEN: Johnny? - Ooh.

You're gonna stay here. [interposing voices]

You're gonna stay here. I want you to stay here.

ELLEN: Johnny? Johnny?

Hey, how are you doing?

You weren't leaving without saying good bye, weren't you?

No, we weren't leaving.

No, we were looking all over for you.

Where have you been? We got to catch a plane.

- Oh, no. - You're gonna introduce me?

Uh, yeah.

Uh, Roy, this is Eager-- this is Ellen.

[inaudible].

And, uh, Ellen, this is-- this is Roy.

Uh, so he's my partner. [chuckles]

Thank you for being so nice to me.

- Oh, [inaudible]. - I've got a surprise for you.

Oh, you do?

What kind of surprise you got?

My sister lives in LA.

And she says I can stay with her.

Is that right? Well, what-- what-- when is it?

When is that gonna-- - This coming weekend.

- This coming weekend. - I'm so excited.

- Right. - We can be together again.

Yeah, that is exciting.

Well, boy. - Sure.

And I've made all kinds of plans for us.

You did?

I thought that first of all, we could go to-- to Disneyland.
