1
00:00:28,978 --> 00:00:31,356
Keep your hands off me!

2
00:00:33,191 --> 00:00:35,485
- I'll be with you in a moment.
- Don't walk away.

3
00:00:35,652 --> 00:00:39,072
- Doctor, I can't feel my arm.
- Just a minute.

4
00:00:40,448 --> 00:00:43,243
- I can't feel my arm.
- I can't feel it right now either.

5
00:00:43,409 --> 00:00:46,204
- Can someone feel his arm?
- I can't feel it.

6
00:00:49,415 --> 00:00:50,833
Don't touch my hair.

7
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,877
Kiss the boo-boo. Kiss the boo-boo.

8
00:00:53,044 --> 00:00:56,172
- Hey, you're still here.
- Yeah, I'm still here. Can you believe it?

9
00:00:56,339 --> 00:01:00,176
Save me some coffee, you savage.

10
00:01:02,262 --> 00:01:04,180
What is this,
Alfred Hitchcock Presents?

11
00:01:08,685 --> 00:01:11,563
- What's the problem?
- Gunshot wounds. Shoulder, abdomen.

12
00:01:11,729 --> 00:01:14,274
We've been paging you.
You on California time already?

13
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,151
- I was in Radiology working on my tan.
- Pulse, 120.

14
00:01:17,318 --> 00:01:19,404
Get this guy typed and crossed, huh?

15
00:01:19,862 --> 00:01:23,825
Okay, question: Beverly Hills,
beautiful women and plastic surgery...

16
00:01:23,992 --> 00:01:26,911
what do these three things
have in common?

17
00:01:27,078 --> 00:01:28,413
Me, in less than a week.

18
00:01:29,205 --> 00:01:32,667
Okay, don't worry about his shoulder.
He's probably bleeding internally.

19
00:01:32,834 --> 00:01:36,004
Call Dr. Sotto, tell him to prep for O.R.
I'm out of here tonight.

20
00:01:36,170 --> 00:01:39,716
Convince me I'll be nostalgic for here
when I'm at the Halberstrom Clinic.

21
00:01:39,883 --> 00:01:42,010
- Halberstrom?
- Cosmetic surgery for the rich.

22
00:01:42,176 --> 00:01:45,805
- I'm not in it for the money.
- Half a million salary when he's partner.

23
00:01:45,972 --> 00:01:50,310
That high-profit stuff makes it possible
for us to do reconstructive surgery...

24
00:01:50,476 --> 00:01:52,687
on the needier patients.
You're a saint.

25
00:01:52,854 --> 00:01:56,900
- Got another customer over there.
- I'll do it. My going-away present to you.

26
00:01:57,066 --> 00:02:00,445
- What's the problem?
- Too much fun. Substance unknown.

27
00:02:00,612 --> 00:02:04,115
Okay, stay with us. Stay with us.
What'd you take, man?

28
00:02:04,282 --> 00:02:06,159
Bluebirds, dillies, love boats?

29
00:02:06,326 --> 00:02:09,454
I heard Halberstrom might not
even hire anyone this year.

30
00:02:09,621 --> 00:02:10,872
Well, I'm not anyone.

31
00:02:11,456 --> 00:02:15,210
Mulready, some of the guys are having
a going-away bash for me tonight.

32
00:02:15,376 --> 00:02:18,338
- If you're interested, I'd love...
- Not in this lifetime.

33
00:02:22,175 --> 00:02:24,344
- Clean up.
- Thanks.

34
00:02:24,510 --> 00:02:27,555
Come on, what do you say, guys?
Dinner. Think about it.

35
00:02:27,722 --> 00:02:30,934
Come on, it's my last night.
A couple of lousy beers?

36
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:33,394
- Take care, man.
- Guys...

37
00:02:36,689 --> 00:02:39,108
I'll send you a postcard.

38
00:02:39,984 --> 00:02:41,694
What?

39
00:02:42,278 --> 00:02:45,114
At the risk of sounding schmaltzy,
I just wanna tell you...

40
00:02:45,281 --> 00:02:47,909
that you're a schmuck.
I hope I never see you again.

41
00:02:48,117 --> 00:02:51,371
Thanks, Tommy. I know how hard
it was for you to say that.

42
00:02:51,538 --> 00:02:56,000
You're a good doctor, Ben. I just thought
you were gonna practice real medicine.

43
00:02:57,502 --> 00:03:00,588
Think I'm making a mistake
going to Halberstrom?

44
00:03:01,923 --> 00:03:05,218
No. Cosmetic surgery is clean...

45
00:03:05,385 --> 00:03:08,846
you make tons of money,
nobody dies.

46
00:03:09,264 --> 00:03:10,932
What's wrong with that, right?

47
00:03:11,099 --> 00:03:12,684
Right.

48
00:03:13,017 --> 00:03:14,769
Bye, Ben.

49
00:04:49,781 --> 00:04:52,492
Oh, come on.

50
00:05:16,975 --> 00:05:18,309
Look out.

51
00:05:40,874 --> 00:05:44,252
All right, okay. Can I just ask you...

52
00:05:44,419 --> 00:05:46,254
where am I now?

53
00:06:53,112 --> 00:06:58,868
Oh, man. Oh, God. Oh, God.
I'm okay. I'm okay.

54
00:06:59,410 --> 00:07:03,540
Accident. Woman in the middle
of the road with a cow!

55
00:07:04,249 --> 00:07:06,417
All right. I'm okay.

56
00:07:06,834 --> 00:07:10,463
Damn, my car.
Oh, man, the whole front end is shot!

57
00:07:13,299 --> 00:07:14,634
Am I glad you're here.

58
00:07:16,678 --> 00:07:19,681
Is that a '56 or a '57 Speedster?

59
00:07:20,139 --> 00:07:22,141
Fifty-six.

60
00:07:22,559 --> 00:07:25,645
Hey, come on, get out.
Will you get out of the car!

61
00:07:25,812 --> 00:07:27,146
Get away from there.

62
00:07:27,313 --> 00:07:29,983
- Took three weeks to build that fence.
- I'm sorry.

63
00:07:30,149 --> 00:07:32,777
Does this have a Super 90 engine
or a 1600?

64
00:07:32,944 --> 00:07:35,029
It wasn't really anybody's fault.

65
00:07:35,196 --> 00:07:37,574
My insurance will probably pay
for the fence...

66
00:07:37,740 --> 00:07:39,492
and that should be fine. Okay?

67
00:07:39,659 --> 00:07:41,995
- Won't be the same.
- This ain't a kit car, is it?

68
00:07:42,161 --> 00:07:44,163
No, it ain't. It isn't.

69
00:07:44,747 --> 00:07:47,834
My name is Ben Stone.

70
00:07:48,042 --> 00:07:50,295
I'm a medical doctor.
I'm a surgeon.

71
00:07:50,461 --> 00:07:52,171
Awesome. Who thrashed the fence?

72
00:07:52,338 --> 00:07:54,883
I'm Ben Stone. Here's the address
of my clinic in L.A.

73
00:07:55,049 --> 00:07:57,760
- Did he say he's been stoned?
- He says he's from L.A.

74
00:07:57,927 --> 00:08:00,221
You can send a bill there
or we can use plastic.

75
00:08:00,388 --> 00:08:02,682
I'm not really from L.A.
I'm just on my way to...

76
00:08:02,849 --> 00:08:07,312
- You're lucky I was passing through.
- What's in the trunk? Pot?

77
00:08:08,688 --> 00:08:12,525
I'm a surgeon. Come on, will you
get away! Get away from the car!

78
00:08:12,692 --> 00:08:14,277
- Sorry.
- Not you, the dog.

79
00:08:14,444 --> 00:08:16,112
The finest fence I'll ever put up.

80
00:08:16,279 --> 00:08:19,115
I know a Willie Stone in Stanton.
Is that family of yours?

81
00:08:19,282 --> 00:08:22,243
- I understand what you're trying to do.
- This the new Mazda?

82
00:08:22,410 --> 00:08:25,205
And I'm not putting up
with any small-town bullshit.

83
00:08:25,371 --> 00:08:27,624
Where's the dang engine?

84
00:08:27,790 --> 00:08:32,003
Get away from this car! You don't
even know where the engine is.

85
00:08:32,503 --> 00:08:34,380
Got you.

86
00:08:36,466 --> 00:08:39,177
Look, I'm sorry
about what happened...

87
00:08:39,344 --> 00:08:43,223
but it was an accident, okay?
It was nobody's fault.

88
00:08:43,389 --> 00:08:46,726
Get me to a phone. I'll call
a Porsche mechanic in the next big city.

89
00:08:46,893 --> 00:08:51,022
I'll get my car fixed, be on my way,
and you can go back to doing...

90
00:08:51,189 --> 00:08:52,649
whatever it is you do.

91
00:08:55,944 --> 00:08:58,738
All right, I admit it!
I flattened the damn fence!

92
00:08:58,905 --> 00:09:01,324
What are you gonna do, lock me up?

93
00:09:06,037 --> 00:09:10,458
Court finds the defendant guilty
of crimes under code 453-19...

94
00:09:10,625 --> 00:09:13,836
reckless driving, and 466-2,
reckless endangerment.

95
00:09:14,003 --> 00:09:16,548
- This is insane.
- No, this is Grady.

96
00:09:16,714 --> 00:09:20,343
Your Honor, there were cows
in the middle of the road.

97
00:09:20,510 --> 00:09:24,264
Now, I told you my insurance company
would pay for a new fence.

98
00:09:24,430 --> 00:09:26,558
I built that fence myself.

99
00:09:26,724 --> 00:09:30,270
Neither you nor your insurance can
pay me for a fence I built myself.

100
00:09:30,436 --> 00:09:32,897
Next best thing would be
a fence that you built.

101
00:09:33,064 --> 00:09:37,151
- These hands are delicate instruments.
- I doubt you could build a good fence.

102
00:09:37,318 --> 00:09:39,529
Therefore, since you're
a licensed physician...

103
00:09:39,696 --> 00:09:42,407
and we are a town in acute shortage
of medical care...

104
00:09:42,574 --> 00:09:45,660
You wouldn't.
Your sentence will be 16 hours...

105
00:09:45,827 --> 00:09:47,328
of community service...

106
00:09:47,495 --> 00:09:50,456
served as resident doctor
at Grady Memorial Hospital.

107
00:09:50,623 --> 00:09:53,585
I have to be in Los Angeles
by Tuesday, so I don't...

108
00:09:53,751 --> 00:09:55,753
Thirty-two hours.

109
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,965
- This is extortion!
- You want 64 hours?

110
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:01,551
No.

111
00:10:02,468 --> 00:10:03,970
Court is adjourned.

112
00:10:04,137 --> 00:10:05,763
All rise.

113
00:10:06,472 --> 00:10:08,975
- I am so fucked.
- Watch your language, doc.

114
00:10:09,142 --> 00:10:14,355
You're in the buckle of the Bible belt
here. Try saying "fudge" or something.

115
00:10:14,647 --> 00:10:17,150
- "Fiddlesticks" too strong?
- Depends.

116
00:10:17,317 --> 00:10:19,611
Don't you worry
about your automobile, doc.

117
00:10:19,777 --> 00:10:23,531
I always wanted an excuse
to buy me a set of metric tools.

118
00:10:23,698 --> 00:10:26,784
Sh... Sugar.

119
00:10:51,017 --> 00:10:52,560
Hey.

120
00:10:54,604 --> 00:10:56,147
I'm Dr. Benjamin Stone.

121
00:10:56,314 --> 00:11:00,109
Nurse Packer. I'm assuming
Judge Evans told you.

122
00:11:02,028 --> 00:11:03,905
Fine. Here's what I need.

123
00:11:04,072 --> 00:11:08,243
Comfortable bed, hot shower,
warm meal, locker to put my stuff in...

124
00:11:08,409 --> 00:11:11,162
Could you show me some kind
of identification, please?

125
00:11:19,379 --> 00:11:22,757
I'm wearing glasses there.
I wear contacts now.

126
00:11:23,466 --> 00:11:25,718
My hair's a little shorter.

127
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:32,767
That's a mustache.
It's a bad picture.

128
00:11:32,934 --> 00:11:36,521
If you could direct me to the physician
on call tonight, I'll speak to him.

129
00:11:39,566 --> 00:11:41,025
"When to call me:

130
00:11:41,192 --> 00:11:45,280
If you've been stabbed, shot, poisoned,
separated from an appendage...

131
00:11:45,446 --> 00:11:48,616
knocked or beaten unconscious,
run over by a tractor, mower...

132
00:11:48,783 --> 00:11:52,120
or generally about to bleed to death.
Otherwise, leave me alone."

133
00:11:52,287 --> 00:11:56,749
Signed,
Dr. Aurelius Edsel Hogue, M.D.

134
00:11:59,335 --> 00:12:01,629
I'm in The Twilight Zone.

135
00:12:03,965 --> 00:12:07,468
Zwieback and vitamin C
in the upper cabinet if you're hungry.

136
00:12:07,635 --> 00:12:11,306
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
This is the best you can do?

137
00:12:11,556 --> 00:12:13,224
No.

138
00:12:29,032 --> 00:12:32,744
Oh, good, you're awake. Welcome
to Grady. I'm Mayor Nicholson.

139
00:12:32,911 --> 00:12:35,330
The second I heard
a big-city doctor was in town...

140
00:12:35,496 --> 00:12:38,416
I left that rehearsal,
hightailed it over here...

141
00:12:38,583 --> 00:12:40,877
see if I can make you
more comfortable.

142
00:12:41,044 --> 00:12:43,254
- We can do better than this.
- Better than this?

143
00:12:43,421 --> 00:12:45,423
Say, these your duffles?

144
00:12:46,090 --> 00:12:50,178
I'm not claiming that Grady's no Paris,
France, but we got two gas stations...

145
00:12:50,345 --> 00:12:53,097
got us a Winn-Dixie, got us cable TV.
Like tennis?

146
00:12:53,264 --> 00:12:57,018
We got a new tennis court at the high
school. You doctors play golf, though.

147
00:12:57,185 --> 00:12:59,812
- Learning how to surf, actually.
- Isn't this pretty?

148
00:12:59,979 --> 00:13:03,483
We had this fixed up for a doctor
we got through the want ads years ago.

149
00:13:03,650 --> 00:13:06,236
- No one's been in it for a while.
- Mayor Nicholson.

150
00:13:06,402 --> 00:13:09,864
I'm on my way to California.
Don't be thinking I'm staying here.

151
00:13:10,031 --> 00:13:12,408
No, no, of course not.

152
00:13:12,575 --> 00:13:14,994
Well, maybe not.
Give old Grady a chance...

153
00:13:15,161 --> 00:13:17,705
she might sneak up on you
like a bee in a bottle.

154
00:13:22,377 --> 00:13:23,711
Surprise!

155
00:13:23,878 --> 00:13:26,339
- Welcoming committee.
- I hope you're hungry.

156
00:13:27,465 --> 00:13:28,925
Evening, ladies.

157
00:13:29,092 --> 00:13:32,929
Ben Stone, this here is Miss Violet
and Miss Lillian and Miss Maddie.

158
00:13:33,096 --> 00:13:36,432
Ladies, this here is Ben Stone, M.D.

159
00:13:36,599 --> 00:13:40,562
Fried chicken, boiled peanuts
and sweet potato pie.

160
00:13:40,728 --> 00:13:45,275
Catfish, biscuits, butter beans
and watermelon.

161
00:13:45,441 --> 00:13:48,570
Hungry-Man dinner. I'm a bad cook.

162
00:13:48,736 --> 00:13:52,907
Well, I guess I'll just say adieu
and come chauffeur you in the morning.

163
00:13:53,074 --> 00:13:55,076
No, wait, wait, wait. Come on.

164
00:13:55,243 --> 00:13:56,786
You can't leave me here...

165
00:13:56,953 --> 00:13:59,706
in the middle of nowhere with them.
It's getting late.

166
00:13:59,873 --> 00:14:03,626
Don't worry. Only one of them horny.
I'm not telling you which one.

167
00:14:03,793 --> 00:14:05,879
Your face.

168
00:14:12,594 --> 00:14:15,013
You want a cocktail?

169
00:14:15,805 --> 00:14:20,226
So anyway, the high-profile,
high-profit work...

170
00:14:20,393 --> 00:14:23,438
just makes it possible for me
to do the more important...

171
00:14:23,605 --> 00:14:27,317
reconstructive surgery
for needier patients.

172
00:14:28,234 --> 00:14:30,612
And get a big house on the beach.

173
00:14:30,778 --> 00:14:35,366
It's hard to believe. A man as good-
looking as Dr. Stone should be married.

174
00:14:35,533 --> 00:14:37,660
Maybe he ain't found
his Adam's rib yet.

175
00:14:37,827 --> 00:14:41,831
Maybe he indulges in the love
that dare not speak its name.

176
00:14:41,998 --> 00:14:44,500
- Lillian.
- Will I go blind?

177
00:14:45,793 --> 00:14:49,047
- It's moonshine, right?
- Well, ouzo, actually.

178
00:14:49,214 --> 00:14:52,592
- We took a cruise to Greece.
- Not me. I wasn't invited.

179
00:14:52,759 --> 00:14:55,595
It was one of those
golden-agers tours.

180
00:14:55,762 --> 00:14:57,764
Sunset Tours, honey.

181
00:14:57,931 --> 00:15:00,892
- They ate the brains out of a goat.
- Not me.

182
00:15:01,059 --> 00:15:03,394
- We ate dog.
- I didn't eat no dog.

183
00:15:03,561 --> 00:15:06,481
You don't know that you didn't.

184
00:15:06,814 --> 00:15:10,360
Dr. Stone, there's a legend
about friendship quilts.

185
00:15:10,526 --> 00:15:12,153
That's bunk.

186
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:17,033
Folks say that the first person
to sleep under a friendship quilt...

187
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,911
will meet the one
they're gonna marry.

188
00:15:20,078 --> 00:15:23,206
Dream about the one they're
gonna marry, and it's bunk.

189
00:15:23,373 --> 00:15:26,584
What a fine hand he has.

190
00:15:27,460 --> 00:15:29,337
Dr. Stone?

191
00:15:30,380 --> 00:15:32,131
Dr. Stone?

192
00:16:45,872 --> 00:16:48,082
Oh, God.

193
00:17:10,730 --> 00:17:12,398
Hello.

194
00:17:14,234 --> 00:17:15,568
Hi.

195
00:17:16,402 --> 00:17:19,155
- Good morning.
- Is something wrong?

196
00:17:19,322 --> 00:17:21,616
No, no, no.

197
00:17:22,492 --> 00:17:24,202
I'm a doctor.

198
00:17:24,369 --> 00:17:26,871
Yeah, I know who you are.

199
00:17:28,831 --> 00:17:33,127
Hey, I'm sorry. Would you...?
Do you want this?

200
00:17:33,294 --> 00:17:37,298
If you're a doctor, I don't have
anything you haven't seen before.

201
00:17:47,850 --> 00:17:50,103
You can blink now.

202
00:17:54,691 --> 00:17:58,194
All the boys from the state legislature
come here, do their recreating.

203
00:17:58,361 --> 00:18:01,823
Boy, can they litter. Presidents
come here during the fishing season.

204
00:18:01,990 --> 00:18:03,992
On purpose?

205
00:18:04,450 --> 00:18:07,620
One look at all this, Ben boy,
I'm sure you're saying to yourself:

206
00:18:07,787 --> 00:18:11,040
"I have come to Grady at the most
beautiful time of the year."

207
00:18:11,207 --> 00:18:14,377
But, boy, these dogwoods, azaleas,
when they blooming...

208
00:18:14,544 --> 00:18:18,381
they can't hold a candle to the nuclear
explosion of color come fall.

209
00:18:18,548 --> 00:18:22,635
Nick, you're the mayor. You have
the authority to commute my sentence.

210
00:18:22,802 --> 00:18:24,387
Could you do that?

211
00:18:24,554 --> 00:18:27,599
I'll make it worth your while.
I get back to L.A., we could...

212
00:18:27,765 --> 00:18:30,518
Why on earth
would I wanna do that?

213
00:18:30,685 --> 00:18:34,188
How am I gonna convince you
to stay here if you're not here?

214
00:18:34,939 --> 00:18:38,651
We need a doctor, you need patients.

215
00:18:38,860 --> 00:18:43,114
Get off the interstate, Ben Stone.

216
00:18:43,615 --> 00:18:45,200
Right?

217
00:18:48,244 --> 00:18:51,748
Don't let the signs of prosperity and
urban sprawl in downtown scare you.

218
00:18:51,915 --> 00:18:54,083
We're still the same
sleepy little paradise...

219
00:18:54,250 --> 00:18:57,629
that big-city shrinks recommend
for patients with nervous disorders.

220
00:18:57,795 --> 00:19:00,215
It's the calming effect
of Grady's natural ozone.

221
00:19:00,381 --> 00:19:03,092
Fact, there's a world-class
mental hospital up the road.

222
00:19:03,259 --> 00:19:04,594
That's a comforting thought.

223
00:19:04,761 --> 00:19:08,598
Ben Stone, do you like coffee?
If you like coffee, we won't go in here.

224
00:19:10,099 --> 00:19:12,018
- Is that him?
- That's him.

225
00:19:12,185 --> 00:19:15,480
- He's young, huh?
- Come on, let's go.

226
00:19:18,191 --> 00:19:20,652
Boys, this here is Ben Stone...

227
00:19:20,818 --> 00:19:23,947
a Hollywood physician
who's gonna spend a few days with us.

228
00:19:24,113 --> 00:19:28,368
Ben, this is Mortimer, John, Aubrey.
Probably don't want to shake his hand.

229
00:19:28,535 --> 00:19:31,538
Sorty in the corner.
Sorty got a cow that sings.

230
00:19:31,704 --> 00:19:35,291
- You remember Cotton, Miss Lillian.
- Hollywood. La-la land.

231
00:19:35,625 --> 00:19:37,293
- Beverly Hills, actually.
- Whatever.

232
00:19:37,460 --> 00:19:41,339
- Well, William's been a movie star.
- It was just an Army training film.

233
00:19:41,506 --> 00:19:44,175
Come now, you were the star.
You played the lead role.

234
00:19:44,342 --> 00:19:48,513
It was about VD. I was the bacteria.
Had a big scene with penicillin.

235
00:19:48,930 --> 00:19:51,307
Yes, a death scene.

236
00:19:51,474 --> 00:19:54,185
Take a load off, doctor.
This will stop your worries.

237
00:19:54,352 --> 00:19:56,271
Or start them.

238
00:19:57,730 --> 00:19:59,440
So, what do you think of our town?

239
00:19:59,607 --> 00:20:02,193
- I haven't seen all of it yet.
- Yeah, you have.

240
00:20:03,361 --> 00:20:04,737
Opportunity abounds here.

241
00:20:04,904 --> 00:20:07,240
Growth rate was up .3 percent
last year.

242
00:20:07,407 --> 00:20:10,368
- There's no crime.
- By the way, we are the county seat.

243
00:20:10,535 --> 00:20:14,497
Fellas, no point in beating a dead horse
to death. That's all in the brochure.

244
00:20:14,664 --> 00:20:19,085
Ben Stone, we are prepared
to offer you a permanent position...

245
00:20:19,252 --> 00:20:22,755
as medical practitioner supreme
in the Grady metropolitan area...

246
00:20:22,922 --> 00:20:25,174
the squash capital of the South.

247
00:20:25,341 --> 00:20:28,511
The salary's $27,000 per annum,
and plus housing.

248
00:20:29,512 --> 00:20:31,139
Twenty-seven thousand?

249
00:20:31,306 --> 00:20:34,934
- You see, Nick, I told you...
- Hold on. Thirty thousand.

250
00:20:35,852 --> 00:20:38,605
Look, you people don't even know me.

251
00:20:38,771 --> 00:20:41,441
I noticed right off that he
double-knots his shoelaces.

252
00:20:41,608 --> 00:20:44,235
- Excellent credentials.
- Shows he's careful.

253
00:20:44,652 --> 00:20:46,779
Anyway, don't you already have
a doctor?

254
00:20:46,946 --> 00:20:48,865
We got Hogue.
The problem with Hogue is...

255
00:20:49,032 --> 00:20:51,534
- He's old.
- Old and wholly unpleasant.

256
00:20:51,701 --> 00:20:53,870
Point is, he's not going
to be around forever.

257
00:20:54,078 --> 00:20:55,413
Thirty-five thousand?

258
00:20:55,580 --> 00:20:58,666
But that would take a unanimous vote
of the whole city council.

259
00:20:58,833 --> 00:21:00,877
- All in favor say, "Aye."
- Aye.

260
00:21:01,044 --> 00:21:03,421
- I abstain.
- You always abstain.

261
00:21:03,588 --> 00:21:07,592
Look, I appreciate your problem...

262
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:09,802
but I'm not the answer.

263
00:21:09,969 --> 00:21:12,347
I got a big job interview
on the West Coast.

264
00:21:12,513 --> 00:21:16,184
It's very important I get there in the
next couple of days. Plastic surgery.

265
00:21:16,351 --> 00:21:20,563
The truth is, they can probably pay me
about 20 times what you can afford.

266
00:21:20,730 --> 00:21:23,650
There's a lot of similarities
between Grady and Los Angeles.

267
00:21:23,816 --> 00:21:25,443
They're just bigger, is all.

268
00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:28,071
- What do I owe you?
- Ten bucks.

269
00:21:28,238 --> 00:21:30,907
- Ten bucks for coffee and toast?
- Got you.

270
00:21:31,074 --> 00:21:33,826
Tell you what, why don't you wait
to make up your mind...

271
00:21:33,993 --> 00:21:35,912
till after the squash festival, huh?

272
00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:40,500
All I'm saying, Ben Stone, is give Grady
a chance. I bet you'll like her.

273
00:21:42,085 --> 00:21:46,214
Yeah, well, nice meeting you all.

274
00:21:46,381 --> 00:21:48,132
Thanks.

275
00:21:57,517 --> 00:22:00,728
- Howdy, nurse. How you doing?
- Doctor's lounge is down the hall.

276
00:22:00,895 --> 00:22:05,900
You can change in there, then Lou will
show you around. This is your time card.

277
00:22:07,527 --> 00:22:10,113
You gotta be kidding.

278
00:22:17,704 --> 00:22:21,332
- Local call?
- I don't know anybody local.

279
00:22:21,541 --> 00:22:24,335
Pay phone's in the waiting room.

280
00:22:26,754 --> 00:22:32,302
Yeah, it's... No, it's a collect call
from Dr. Benjamin Stone.

281
00:22:32,468 --> 00:22:34,178
Stone.

282
00:22:34,345 --> 00:22:36,055
Come on, do you mind?
This is a...

283
00:22:37,223 --> 00:22:40,643
personal call.
I guess so.

284
00:22:43,021 --> 00:22:47,734
Yeah, hi. Yes, this is Dr. Stone.
Actually, that's why I'm calling.

285
00:22:47,901 --> 00:22:50,570
I don't think I'm gonna be able
to make it on Tuesday.

286
00:22:50,737 --> 00:22:53,364
I just... There was a...

287
00:22:54,908 --> 00:22:57,285
A medical emergency in...

288
00:22:57,452 --> 00:23:00,455
They don't have a doctor,
so I volunteered my services.

289
00:23:00,622 --> 00:23:03,875
I'll need to stay
until the situation stabilizes.

290
00:23:04,042 --> 00:23:05,710
Yeah, medically speaking.

291
00:23:06,628 --> 00:23:09,088
You're interviewing other doctors?
Friday?

292
00:23:09,255 --> 00:23:13,927
Yeah, okay, Friday. I can do that. No,
thank you very much. And thank Doctor...

293
00:23:15,428 --> 00:23:19,265
That was better tap-dancing
than I've seen on Star Search.

294
00:23:21,392 --> 00:23:25,021
If you tell me you're here for
a physical, you're gonna make my day.

295
00:23:25,188 --> 00:23:27,941
It's unprofessional to flirt
with the patients.

296
00:23:28,107 --> 00:23:32,278
I'm just on my way to Beverly Hills.
Plastic surgery.

297
00:23:32,445 --> 00:23:34,280
Not that you need any.

298
00:23:34,447 --> 00:23:36,324
Nice try.

299
00:23:36,491 --> 00:23:40,203
So is this the GQ look
for young urban doctors?

300
00:23:41,246 --> 00:23:44,749
Well, I've spent the last two years
doing 18-hour days in the ER.

301
00:23:44,916 --> 00:23:48,336
I find these are pretty comfortable.

302
00:23:48,753 --> 00:23:50,672
You don't like them?

303
00:23:50,922 --> 00:23:52,549
No.

304
00:23:54,509 --> 00:23:58,096
Okay, fine. Well, I really enjoyed
our time together here...

305
00:23:58,263 --> 00:24:02,308
but since you're obviously not a
patient, and I'm not getting anywhere...

306
00:24:02,475 --> 00:24:06,229
tell me where I can find a guy named
Lou, drives an ambulance?

307
00:24:06,396 --> 00:24:08,147
I'm Lou.

308
00:24:17,615 --> 00:24:19,492
Where did all these people come from?

309
00:24:19,659 --> 00:24:22,912
Folks hear there's a doctor on duty,
they come running.

310
00:24:23,079 --> 00:24:25,582
Any old doctor.

311
00:24:28,376 --> 00:24:30,295
Send them in.

312
00:24:30,962 --> 00:24:34,132
Okay, Mr. Tidwell.

313
00:24:34,299 --> 00:24:36,843
What the hell have you got
on your foot?

314
00:24:37,010 --> 00:24:38,595
That's a poultice.

315
00:24:38,761 --> 00:24:42,682
- Nurse Packer!
- I got a hold to Doc Hogue on the CB...

316
00:24:42,849 --> 00:24:45,435
and he said that that will hold me
till I came in.

317
00:24:45,602 --> 00:24:47,061
- You did this on purpose?
- Yes.

318
00:24:47,228 --> 00:24:50,440
It's chimney soot, biscuit flour
and lard. Doc Hogue said...

319
00:24:50,607 --> 00:24:55,945
Wipe that crap off Mr. Tidwell's foot,
please, and clean that wound out.

320
00:24:57,947 --> 00:25:01,534
- You allergic to penicillin?
- Don't know. Ask Doc Hogue.

321
00:25:01,701 --> 00:25:04,871
Doubt Doc Hogue knows
it's even been discovered.

322
00:25:05,496 --> 00:25:09,667
Okay. Nurse Packer,
I'm gonna wash this with Betadine...

323
00:25:09,834 --> 00:25:14,047
close it with a butterfly,
give it a sterile dressing.

324
00:25:14,214 --> 00:25:17,050
You sure you ought to be doing that
so darned fast?

325
00:25:17,217 --> 00:25:19,344
I hope so, Mr. Tidwell...

326
00:25:19,510 --> 00:25:21,554
because je suis fini.

327
00:25:26,476 --> 00:25:29,771
Okay, Mrs. Owens, if you could
please get up on the table...

328
00:25:29,938 --> 00:25:31,522
put your feet in the stirrups.

329
00:25:39,113 --> 00:25:41,157
We're just here about our mail.

330
00:25:41,658 --> 00:25:45,453
It's from my sister. We don't read.

331
00:25:48,206 --> 00:25:52,377
- This ever happen before, Mr. McClary?
- Hell, yes. It happens.

332
00:25:52,544 --> 00:25:54,963
This ain't nearly the biggest one
I ever took.

333
00:25:55,129 --> 00:25:59,259
I had a hook in my thigh once.
It must have been, I'd say, like...

334
00:25:59,425 --> 00:26:01,678
Oh, excuse me, I... Yeah, well...

335
00:26:01,844 --> 00:26:05,348
- Fishing's a dangerous business.
- Well, it can be.

336
00:26:05,515 --> 00:26:11,688
"And after the cow died, there just
wasn't any reason for him to go on.

337
00:26:12,272 --> 00:26:16,150
Meanwhile, Ellen's got herself
mixed up with a Pakistani gentleman...

338
00:26:16,317 --> 00:26:19,737
who nobody can understand
what he is saying.

339
00:26:20,321 --> 00:26:22,365
Not even Ellen."

340
00:26:22,657 --> 00:26:25,201
I don't see any toxic striations.

341
00:26:25,368 --> 00:26:26,870
Red streaks.

342
00:26:27,036 --> 00:26:29,664
You sure it was a black widow?

343
00:26:29,831 --> 00:26:34,168
Here. I kept it in some T.P.

344
00:26:35,795 --> 00:26:38,089
Oh, dear Lord, it's escaped.

345
00:26:40,341 --> 00:26:42,302
- There it is.
- Wait, there he goes.

346
00:26:42,468 --> 00:26:45,346
- Here he goes. Here he goes.
- Step on it.

347
00:26:45,513 --> 00:26:48,391
"She thinks Ray's having an affair
with the pastor's wife...

348
00:26:48,558 --> 00:26:51,936
but Ray swears
it's his scrub-up rash."

349
00:26:52,604 --> 00:26:55,732
Ray is a nut, I'm telling you.

350
00:26:55,982 --> 00:26:59,444
It's like a blurred spot
in my vision.

351
00:26:59,611 --> 00:27:04,657
Out there. No. There. No.
No, there.

352
00:27:16,211 --> 00:27:18,338
I'm cured.

353
00:27:18,796 --> 00:27:23,051
"The pastor's wife got busted
for growing marijuana...

354
00:27:23,218 --> 00:27:25,136
out behind the rectory.

355
00:27:25,303 --> 00:27:30,683
So she'll be spending a spell up in Tupelo
at the minimum-security prison."

356
00:27:33,394 --> 00:27:35,521
That's it?

357
00:27:36,773 --> 00:27:39,526
What about Ellen and the Pakistani?

358
00:27:49,661 --> 00:27:51,829
Nurse Packer? Nurse Packer.

359
00:27:51,996 --> 00:27:55,917
Where's Doc Hogue? The boy can't
breathe right, and he's turning blue.

360
00:27:56,084 --> 00:27:57,418
I'm the doctor here.

361
00:27:58,169 --> 00:28:00,547
Nurse Packer,
you've got to call Doc Hogue.

362
00:28:01,130 --> 00:28:04,425
- Please.
- It's all right. I'm the doctor.

363
00:28:05,552 --> 00:28:07,929
- How long has he been like this?
- All afternoon.

364
00:28:08,096 --> 00:28:09,681
- What's his name?
- Zeb.

365
00:28:09,847 --> 00:28:12,600
Hey, Zeb, this is going to be
a little cold, all right?

366
00:28:12,767 --> 00:28:15,061
I just wanna hear your heart.

367
00:28:16,229 --> 00:28:18,189
Does your tummy hurt?

368
00:28:18,857 --> 00:28:22,569
All right, take him down to the
examination room. I'll be right there.

369
00:28:22,735 --> 00:28:25,488
You know where that is?
Right there, okay?

370
00:28:25,655 --> 00:28:28,324
Have Zeb get up on the table for me.

371
00:28:30,368 --> 00:28:33,204
- Call Hogue. Get him here.
- He doesn't like to be disturbed.

372
00:28:33,371 --> 00:28:36,416
I really don't care. Forget Hogue.
What's the referral hospital?

373
00:28:36,583 --> 00:28:38,585
- Athens General.
- Call Athens General.

374
00:28:38,751 --> 00:28:42,046
We have a cardiac emergency.
Tell Lou to fire up the ambulance.

375
00:28:42,213 --> 00:28:45,133
No, forget it. They have a helicopter.
Tell them to send it.

376
00:28:45,300 --> 00:28:49,178
- Get me Zeb's medical history.
- I better call Dr. Hogue.

377
00:28:49,345 --> 00:28:52,974
Damn it. Listen to me,
Hogue is not here. I'm here.

378
00:28:53,141 --> 00:28:55,018
You do it.

379
00:29:02,108 --> 00:29:03,776
Here's the situation.

380
00:29:03,943 --> 00:29:07,238
Your son is turning blue
because he has an abnormal mitral valve.

381
00:29:07,405 --> 00:29:10,825
It's causing a back flow of blood in
his heart. We may have to operate.

382
00:29:10,992 --> 00:29:12,619
We'll send him to Athens General.

383
00:29:12,785 --> 00:29:15,496
Dr. Hogue said
you should give the boy a Coke.

384
00:29:15,663 --> 00:29:20,376
He says he's probably got a bellyache
and that you should give him a Coke.

385
00:29:23,421 --> 00:29:26,174
Listen, doctor, I've got a boy here
in cardiac crisis.

386
00:29:26,341 --> 00:29:30,386
You can't treat that with Coca-Cola or
Bisquick. We have to use real medicine.

387
00:29:30,553 --> 00:29:33,389
I'm sending him to Athens General.
You're his doctor...

388
00:29:33,556 --> 00:29:36,559
so get your fat ass out of bed
and go with him!

389
00:29:38,561 --> 00:29:42,524
- How long will the chopper be?
- Should be here any minute.

390
00:29:55,703 --> 00:29:58,373
- Where's Stone?
- Dr. Hogue.

391
00:29:59,123 --> 00:30:02,794
What the hell kind of snot-nosed
puppy doctor are you anyway?

392
00:30:02,961 --> 00:30:06,214
Wake me up, scare these folks out
of their skivvies.

393
00:30:06,381 --> 00:30:08,633
Mitral valve regurge.

394
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,971
I've had a lot of experience with it in ER.
I've even assisted in surgery to correct.

395
00:30:13,137 --> 00:30:17,058
God only knows how long he's had this,
but you overlooked it. Check his color.

396
00:30:17,225 --> 00:30:19,394
Nurse Packer,
get that crap off the boy.

397
00:30:19,811 --> 00:30:22,856
Gene, you gave him the
bismuth subnitrate, didn't you?

398
00:30:23,022 --> 00:30:25,859
- At first we thought...
- You gave him too much as usual.

399
00:30:26,901 --> 00:30:29,195
Turned him three shades of blue.

400
00:30:29,362 --> 00:30:32,657
- Bismuth subnitrate?
- Homegrown antacid.

401
00:30:32,824 --> 00:30:35,159
You hear a heart murmur?

402
00:30:35,326 --> 00:30:36,995
No, it's hard to detect.

403
00:30:37,161 --> 00:30:40,164
You been sampling
your daddy's chaw?

404
00:30:47,338 --> 00:30:49,007
That will be 65 cents.

405
00:30:53,177 --> 00:30:55,889
Well, nice work, Hollywood.

406
00:30:56,055 --> 00:30:58,808
You were about to open
the chest of a 6-year-old boy...

407
00:30:58,975 --> 00:31:03,062
to cure a case of diarrhea.
Now, listen up, smart-ass.

408
00:31:03,229 --> 00:31:05,773
Next time I tell you
how to treat a patient of mine...

409
00:31:05,940 --> 00:31:08,818
you better damn well do it, doctor.

410
00:31:08,985 --> 00:31:12,280
I doubt you'd know crap from Crisco.

411
00:31:22,707 --> 00:31:24,334
Hey.

412
00:31:26,544 --> 00:31:29,422
Yeah, right.

413
00:31:33,426 --> 00:31:36,471
Shit!

414
00:31:39,557 --> 00:31:42,352
Wait. Wait. Hold your horses, doc.

415
00:31:42,518 --> 00:31:46,272
Now, what if I walked in in the middle
of a hernia operation...

416
00:31:46,439 --> 00:31:49,526
see some poor gentleman's guts
all over?

417
00:31:49,817 --> 00:31:52,195
- You killed my car.
- I resent that.

418
00:31:52,362 --> 00:31:55,406
That car was my life, Melvin.
That car was my baby.

419
00:31:55,573 --> 00:31:58,493
You want me to stop now?
I can put it in some boxes...

420
00:31:58,660 --> 00:32:01,871
ship it out to Hollywood for you.
No skin off my nose.

421
00:32:02,038 --> 00:32:03,998
You and me called it
an oil pump casing.

422
00:32:04,165 --> 00:32:07,085
Lane had two years of the German
language in high school.

423
00:32:10,547 --> 00:32:12,715
Doc, let's step into my office.

424
00:32:15,593 --> 00:32:18,513
I don't need a car.
I'm moving to Los Angeles.

425
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,641
- What do I need a car for?
- Lash yourself to the mast.

426
00:32:21,808 --> 00:32:25,270
Fella up in Oregon has an oil pump
he could air-express to us tomorrow.

427
00:32:25,436 --> 00:32:29,566
Two hundred thirty-nine bucks,
plus shipping. Only one problem.

428
00:32:29,774 --> 00:32:32,151
Oregon exploded.

429
00:32:32,318 --> 00:32:33,820
No.

430
00:32:34,362 --> 00:32:37,699
He don't take credit. Or checks.

431
00:32:37,866 --> 00:32:41,911
And tomorrow being Saturday,
you can't just wire some cash to him.

432
00:32:42,078 --> 00:32:44,998
Okay, Melvin, let me ask you this.

433
00:32:45,164 --> 00:32:48,668
How do you propose I pay for this?

434
00:32:48,835 --> 00:32:50,378
Well, I was hoping you'd pay me.

435
00:32:50,545 --> 00:32:54,757
Then I can trade him for a front rocker
assembly I got from a '68 Nova, but...

436
00:32:54,924 --> 00:32:58,761
- You don't take credit or checks.
- No, sir. I apologize.

437
00:32:58,928 --> 00:33:00,763
How long will this guy
in Oregon wait?

438
00:33:00,930 --> 00:33:03,892
I imagine I could stall him
till Sunday noon.

439
00:33:04,058 --> 00:33:08,646
Now, he got another taker in Arizona,
but I was first.

440
00:33:11,232 --> 00:33:12,984
Stall him.

441
00:33:17,363 --> 00:33:19,115
- Hi, doc.
- Hi, doc.

442
00:33:19,282 --> 00:33:22,827
- Morning, doc.
- Morning, Ben Stone.

443
00:33:22,994 --> 00:33:24,996
Howdy, y'all.

444
00:33:30,585 --> 00:33:34,297
- Dr. Stone. Dr. Stone, I presume.
- Yeah, that's right.

445
00:33:34,464 --> 00:33:35,924
- Hi.
- Hi.

446
00:33:36,090 --> 00:33:38,426
Say, you're much taller
than they said you were.

447
00:33:39,469 --> 00:33:42,138
I'm sitting on a stool.

448
00:33:43,348 --> 00:33:44,766
And you are?

449
00:33:44,933 --> 00:33:48,102
Dying to get out of this town.
How about you?

450
00:33:48,269 --> 00:33:50,480
- Here's your breakfast.
- I haven't ordered yet.

451
00:33:50,647 --> 00:33:53,858
Compliments of the house.
Don't let old Hogue scare you off.

452
00:33:54,025 --> 00:33:57,445
We know you weren't aiming
to kill that boy last night.

453
00:33:58,154 --> 00:34:00,865
Wait a minute, you're not planning
on staying in Grady?

454
00:34:01,032 --> 00:34:03,785
- Only as long as I have to.
- Thank God.

455
00:34:03,952 --> 00:34:06,704
For a second, I thought they got
their hooks into you too.

456
00:34:06,871 --> 00:34:10,375
- Wait, you don't like Grady?
- No.

457
00:34:10,708 --> 00:34:12,293
So how come you don't leave?

458
00:34:13,169 --> 00:34:14,546
With you?

459
00:34:16,172 --> 00:34:18,132
Is that a proposition, doctor?

460
00:34:19,467 --> 00:34:21,970
I better eat this before it's cold.
Nice meeting you.

461
00:34:22,136 --> 00:34:24,097
Thanks, Lillian.

462
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,983
"Prosser on Torts." "Civil Procedure."
A little light reading this morning?

463
00:34:35,149 --> 00:34:36,651
Did I invite you to sit down?

464
00:34:36,818 --> 00:34:39,988
No, but you were going to.
Southern hospitality and all.

465
00:34:40,989 --> 00:34:43,491
- Now what?
- Now let's talk about you.

466
00:34:43,658 --> 00:34:46,578
Okay. I like my privacy.
I'm a vegetarian.

467
00:34:46,744 --> 00:34:50,248
I'd appreciate it if you'd take that slab
of ham to the counter with you.

468
00:34:50,415 --> 00:34:53,626
- It gives me the willies.
- I didn't order this slab.

469
00:34:53,793 --> 00:34:57,881
Now I suppose you'll say something cute
to stall your retreat.

470
00:34:58,047 --> 00:34:59,757
Maybe tell me about the big city...

471
00:34:59,924 --> 00:35:02,677
all the things I'm missing
living in this dinky town...

472
00:35:02,844 --> 00:35:06,055
and how you'd like to be the one
to take me out of it.

473
00:35:08,349 --> 00:35:10,977
Isn't that why you're going
to law school?

474
00:35:11,144 --> 00:35:13,521
You want to get out
of this dinky little town.

475
00:35:13,897 --> 00:35:18,234
I'm not going yet. And I plan to practice
in Grady when I'm through.

476
00:35:19,110 --> 00:35:21,779
Yeah, it looks like a hotbed
of legal activity.

477
00:35:21,946 --> 00:35:25,783
Well, malpractice for visiting young
surgeons seems promising.

478
00:35:26,201 --> 00:35:27,869
Who's the green apple, Vialula?

479
00:35:28,620 --> 00:35:31,080
- Henry, this is Ben Stone.
- Hey.

480
00:35:31,247 --> 00:35:33,666
Oh, yeah, the new croaker.

481
00:35:33,833 --> 00:35:35,335
Hank Gordon.

482
00:35:35,501 --> 00:35:36,836
You're in my chair.

483
00:35:38,630 --> 00:35:40,673
- Boyfriend?
- "Friend" friend.

484
00:35:50,975 --> 00:35:53,686
- Need any life insurance?
- What?

485
00:35:53,853 --> 00:35:57,106
You should be vested
in a term life program.

486
00:35:57,273 --> 00:35:59,651
Probably a quarter of a mil to start.

487
00:35:59,943 --> 00:36:02,529
Come by my office.
We could run a "what if."

488
00:36:02,820 --> 00:36:04,697
Or are you too chicken?

489
00:36:07,909 --> 00:36:10,870
I read somewhere doctors have
the highest suicide rate...

490
00:36:11,037 --> 00:36:13,039
in any profession except dentistry.

491
00:36:13,206 --> 00:36:16,918
- Is that true?
- I won't underwrite dentists. Nope.

492
00:36:17,085 --> 00:36:20,213
Never trust a man who'll put his hand
in your mouth.

493
00:36:20,547 --> 00:36:23,841
Well, I'd love to stay and hear
where this conversation's headed...

494
00:36:24,008 --> 00:36:26,302
but if you all will excuse me.

495
00:36:27,470 --> 00:36:30,682
There's something else
I wanted to ask you.

496
00:36:31,266 --> 00:36:36,020
Do doctors know more about sex
than normal people?

497
00:36:38,940 --> 00:36:41,609
I need some ketchup.

498
00:36:42,235 --> 00:36:44,779
I have a fair knowledge
of animal husbandry.

499
00:36:44,946 --> 00:36:47,198
It's all pretty much the same thing.

500
00:36:47,532 --> 00:36:48,950
- Bye, doc.
- Bye.

501
00:36:49,117 --> 00:36:51,703
Women trouble, Ben Stone?

502
00:36:52,370 --> 00:36:54,247
Squat here.

503
00:36:57,125 --> 00:37:00,336
- Regard the Grady squash.
- Looks like a yellow zucchini.

504
00:37:00,503 --> 00:37:05,383
Nope. See, up until 1933, you had your
Grady, you had your zucchini.

505
00:37:05,550 --> 00:37:07,385
They're going at it, gourd to gourd.

506
00:37:07,552 --> 00:37:11,097
Freak tornado accident wiped out
a whole shipment of Gradys...

507
00:37:11,264 --> 00:37:16,394
bound for, I believe, agricultural
stardom at the Chicago World's Fair.

508
00:37:16,561 --> 00:37:18,771
The zucchini took there.
Never relented.

509
00:37:19,063 --> 00:37:23,067
If it had gone the other way, no telling
where this town would be today.

510
00:37:23,860 --> 00:37:25,570
What are you talking about?

511
00:37:26,279 --> 00:37:29,199
Timing. Same thing with women.

512
00:37:29,365 --> 00:37:32,410
And with Southern women,
they require substantial commitment.

513
00:37:32,577 --> 00:37:35,246
You might have to stay here
for six months, maybe more.

514
00:37:35,413 --> 00:37:39,125
- Are you a betting man, Nick?
- I have been known on occasion.

515
00:37:40,126 --> 00:37:42,212
- Take me about a week.
- Now, wait a minute.

516
00:37:42,378 --> 00:37:46,966
- You mean Vialula in the center pocket?
- Ten bucks.

517
00:37:49,219 --> 00:37:51,596
Okay, you got it.

518
00:37:52,764 --> 00:37:55,225
Feels like I'm fleecing you, Ben Stone.

519
00:37:58,102 --> 00:37:59,938
Easy.

520
00:38:02,857 --> 00:38:05,109
Hello, Nurse Packer.

521
00:38:07,862 --> 00:38:09,447
All right.

522
00:38:09,614 --> 00:38:12,242
Okay, let's get something straight
right now.

523
00:38:12,408 --> 00:38:17,205
I got eight years of higher education, one
year of internship, one year of residency.

524
00:38:17,372 --> 00:38:18,873
I'm $ 70,000 in debt.

525
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,543
Now I'm waylaid in this heehaw hell...

526
00:38:21,709 --> 00:38:25,255
and you insist on clocking me in
and out like I'm a factory worker.

527
00:38:25,421 --> 00:38:29,259
Well, no! N-O, no!
This is where I draw the line.

528
00:38:30,510 --> 00:38:33,596
I believe you have a visitor, doctor.

529
00:38:37,016 --> 00:38:41,688
Doc, my foot feels so good,
I brought you this pig.

530
00:38:45,108 --> 00:38:46,860
Okay.

531
00:38:47,026 --> 00:38:50,029
I can't abide being in no man's debt.

532
00:38:50,196 --> 00:38:52,574
This pig's all I got to give.

533
00:38:54,534 --> 00:38:57,412
I'm already paid, more or less,
by the hospital.

534
00:38:57,579 --> 00:39:01,457
- I really can't accept your pig.
- It's a done deal.

535
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:04,711
She's your pig now.

536
00:39:05,879 --> 00:39:08,089
God bless you both.

537
00:39:14,053 --> 00:39:16,973
Keep your animal outside.
This is a hospital.

538
00:39:30,778 --> 00:39:33,114
- Nice pig there, doc.
- Thank you.

539
00:39:33,281 --> 00:39:36,117
- Lovely pig.
- Thank you very much. Appreciate it.

540
00:39:36,284 --> 00:39:39,662
- Nice pig, doc!
- Thank you.

541
00:39:39,829 --> 00:39:42,790
Thank you all very much.

542
00:39:49,047 --> 00:39:54,719
Ben Stone. Say, I think I just took away
your last reason to go to California.

543
00:39:54,886 --> 00:39:57,764
Norrisville Drum and Bugle Corps.

544
00:39:57,931 --> 00:40:00,141
They played last four years
in the Rose Parade.

545
00:40:00,308 --> 00:40:03,811
I got them under exclusive contract
to the Grady Squash Festival.

546
00:40:03,978 --> 00:40:05,438
I'm not staying.

547
00:40:05,855 --> 00:40:07,315
Sure, you aren't.

548
00:40:07,482 --> 00:40:10,610
Oh, by the way, dinner at my house
tomorrow night, 6:00.

549
00:40:10,818 --> 00:40:12,362
- Dinner?
- Didn't I tell you?

550
00:40:12,529 --> 00:40:13,863
You're guest of honor.

551
00:40:14,822 --> 00:40:18,368
Shoot a monkey. If my head wasn't
attached, I'd need wood screws.

552
00:40:18,535 --> 00:40:20,119
- Nice pig, doc.
- Thanks.

553
00:40:20,286 --> 00:40:22,497
Can I bring a date?

554
00:40:22,664 --> 00:40:25,333
Well, I don't know. Can you?

555
00:40:27,544 --> 00:40:31,422
This is Ben Stone you're talking to.
Come on, pig.

556
00:40:32,924 --> 00:40:35,218
Fine pig, doc.

557
00:40:40,098 --> 00:40:41,266
Melvin.

558
00:40:41,891 --> 00:40:45,186
Melvin. Melvin.

559
00:40:45,395 --> 00:40:48,940
Hey, doc. We're just rehearsing
for the pageant.

560
00:40:49,107 --> 00:40:52,485
We doing a pollination rap song.

561
00:40:55,613 --> 00:40:56,948
Melvin, listen.

562
00:40:57,115 --> 00:41:01,578
I don't have the money
for the oil-gepumpkin-hausen thing.

563
00:41:03,788 --> 00:41:07,792
I mean, when I say I haven't got
the money, that's not entirely true.

564
00:41:07,959 --> 00:41:09,878
I have the money.
I'm good for the money.

565
00:41:10,044 --> 00:41:13,089
It's just a matter of accessing
the money in a period of time.

566
00:41:13,256 --> 00:41:16,009
Can we work something out, please?

567
00:41:16,175 --> 00:41:19,220
This car has got to be ready
by the time I leave.

568
00:41:22,599 --> 00:41:25,768
- That your pig?
- Yeah.

569
00:41:33,735 --> 00:41:37,822
You want to trade? Pig for the part?

570
00:41:38,615 --> 00:41:40,783
If you can part with the pig.

571
00:41:43,870 --> 00:41:44,913
Good.

572
00:41:50,293 --> 00:41:52,795
- Hi.
- Hi.

573
00:41:57,967 --> 00:42:01,221
- You just pick those?
- Yes, ma'am.

574
00:42:02,096 --> 00:42:05,517
They're protected by law.
State flowers.

575
00:42:08,102 --> 00:42:09,812
Figures.

576
00:42:10,271 --> 00:42:14,567
I'm already serving time for the fence.
May as well take my chances, right?

577
00:42:14,734 --> 00:42:19,113
Mama. Mama, who is it?
Who are you?

578
00:42:22,575 --> 00:42:24,369
I'm Ben.

579
00:42:25,662 --> 00:42:28,164
Emma, take these inside
and put them in some water.

580
00:42:28,373 --> 00:42:30,833
You're not supposed to pick these.

581
00:42:31,209 --> 00:42:33,086
Use the plastic pitcher.

582
00:42:35,797 --> 00:42:37,757
Yeah, she's mine.

583
00:42:37,966 --> 00:42:40,718
She's 4. You wanna retreat now or...?

584
00:42:40,927 --> 00:42:42,554
No, no, no.

585
00:42:42,720 --> 00:42:45,473
No. Actually, I just came by...

586
00:42:45,682 --> 00:42:49,185
because I need a date for dinner
tomorrow night.

587
00:42:49,352 --> 00:42:52,355
- Nick Nicholson's?
- Yeah. How'd you know?

588
00:42:52,689 --> 00:42:56,109
Can't poop in this town without
everyone knowing what color it is.

589
00:43:03,074 --> 00:43:06,494
I was fixing to have a cocktail.

590
00:43:06,703 --> 00:43:08,496
Are you in a hurry?

591
00:43:11,124 --> 00:43:13,167
Oh, man, that's tart.

592
00:43:13,376 --> 00:43:17,505
It's called a " Slow Comfortable Screw
Up Against a Wall," with a twist.

593
00:43:17,672 --> 00:43:20,675
- Is that a Grady specialty?
- No.

594
00:43:20,884 --> 00:43:23,303
- New York City.
- New York?

595
00:43:23,511 --> 00:43:26,764
Yeah. I worked at one of those
weirdo theme bars on the West Side.

596
00:43:26,973 --> 00:43:29,642
Wayne and I went to college
in New York.

597
00:43:30,393 --> 00:43:32,187
Then he dropped out.

598
00:43:32,353 --> 00:43:36,316
I got pregnant.
He couldn't get work, so I bartended.

599
00:43:36,524 --> 00:43:38,985
I managed to finish school, though.

600
00:43:39,152 --> 00:43:41,696
- Wayne isn't still...?
- Wayne...

601
00:43:41,905 --> 00:43:44,991
is a professional dancer.

602
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,243
One of those
exotic Chippendale things.

603
00:43:47,410 --> 00:43:50,830
He's in Boston, Miami...
I can't keep track.

604
00:43:51,289 --> 00:43:53,583
He left me after Emma was born.

605
00:43:53,791 --> 00:43:56,794
I divorced him
and came running back here.

606
00:43:57,253 --> 00:44:02,425
Wayne has this extremely high opinion
of his legs.

607
00:44:02,634 --> 00:44:05,303
You know, I just can't picture you
in the big city.

608
00:44:05,511 --> 00:44:07,305
New York.

609
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,224
It's like me...

610
00:44:09,390 --> 00:44:11,768
- In Grady?
- Yeah.

611
00:44:12,852 --> 00:44:15,438
Well, peel an onion,
there's lots of layers.

612
00:44:17,524 --> 00:44:19,067
What layer is Hank on?

613
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,363
Henry Gordon's sweet on me.

614
00:44:23,905 --> 00:44:25,782
And he's pretty decent and solid...

615
00:44:25,990 --> 00:44:29,494
once you get past the " Insurance
Rebel Without a Clause" routine.

616
00:44:30,161 --> 00:44:32,372
Decent and solid.

617
00:44:32,914 --> 00:44:34,207
Very romantic.

618
00:44:37,168 --> 00:44:42,173
I can see you coming from half a mile
away, Dr. Stone.

619
00:44:42,382 --> 00:44:44,592
You and your slick city ways.

620
00:44:44,801 --> 00:44:46,594
I suspect your version of romance...

621
00:44:46,761 --> 00:44:49,764
is whatever will separate me
from my panties.

622
00:44:51,391 --> 00:44:54,978
Look, all I'm talking about is dinner.

623
00:44:55,144 --> 00:44:57,897
In public. Wear a dress.

624
00:44:58,064 --> 00:45:00,275
Panties are optional.

625
00:45:01,734 --> 00:45:05,780
Well, I never have had dinner
at the mayor's house.

626
00:45:05,947 --> 00:45:08,074
Oh, boy.

627
00:45:08,700 --> 00:45:11,953
And after all,
how could I possibly refuse the man...

628
00:45:12,161 --> 00:45:14,372
who saved Jasmine
from the butcher?

629
00:45:15,874 --> 00:45:19,294
- What are you talking about?
- Tidwell's pig.

630
00:45:19,502 --> 00:45:21,713
He was about to sell her
for pork chops...

631
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,883
if you hadn't fixed his foot,
made him feel guilty.

632
00:45:25,049 --> 00:45:28,553
Emma loves pigs.
You keeping her over at your house?

633
00:45:35,518 --> 00:45:37,228
Lane, where's Melvin?

634
00:45:37,604 --> 00:45:41,024
Where's Melvin? I want my pig back.

635
00:45:43,359 --> 00:45:46,196
Did you say he went to church?
At this hour?

636
00:45:48,740 --> 00:45:53,203
Are you allowed to come out here?
I can't understand what you're saying.

637
00:45:53,411 --> 00:45:56,915
Melvin's gone to church.
He's gone to Tylerville.

638
00:45:57,081 --> 00:45:59,542
The pig got took to the butcher.

639
00:46:00,376 --> 00:46:02,629
Melvin took my pig to the butcher.

640
00:46:03,463 --> 00:46:05,089
What?

641
00:46:13,306 --> 00:46:15,725
Mr. Crawford, where's my pig?

642
00:46:15,934 --> 00:46:18,603
You know, Jasmine, my pig.
Is she still alive?

643
00:46:18,811 --> 00:46:21,356
- Yes. She's in back.
- Thank God. Thank God.

644
00:46:21,564 --> 00:46:23,858
- I want her back.
- Doc...

645
00:46:24,067 --> 00:46:26,653
I know what you're going to say.
Do you take plastic?

646
00:46:26,861 --> 00:46:29,531
Not unless it's wrapped around
a stack of cash.

647
00:46:29,739 --> 00:46:31,533
Maybe we can work it out in trade.

648
00:46:31,699 --> 00:46:35,036
I don't know. I ain't been sick
in three years, doc.

649
00:46:35,828 --> 00:46:38,081
I got an idea.

650
00:46:45,964 --> 00:46:50,593
Where'd you learn to carve like that?
You're pretty darn good with a knife.

651
00:46:55,849 --> 00:46:57,892
- Hey, Maddie. Hey, Emma.
- Hi, doc.

652
00:46:58,059 --> 00:47:00,728
You guys are pig-sitting
for me tonight?

653
00:47:00,937 --> 00:47:02,397
Hey, Jasmine.

654
00:47:02,605 --> 00:47:04,232
- Who are you?
- Don't tease me.

655
00:47:04,399 --> 00:47:06,526
I'm serious.
You look like Lou, but prettier.

656
00:47:06,693 --> 00:47:10,280
I'm warning you, Stone, I could
probably whoop you in a fistfight.

657
00:47:10,446 --> 00:47:13,616
- Be a good girl.
- Bye.

658
00:47:13,783 --> 00:47:15,493
- Be a good girl.
- We'll be late.

659
00:47:15,660 --> 00:47:19,581
Not too much TV for her.
She's a real pig about that.

660
00:47:23,668 --> 00:47:28,798
Hi. Come on in. Welcome.
You look fantastic.

661
00:47:29,007 --> 00:47:30,717
- And you look handsome too.
- Thanks.

662
00:47:30,925 --> 00:47:34,012
Daddy's in the back yard tending
the firestorm in the barbecue.

663
00:47:34,178 --> 00:47:38,558
- So you're Nick's daughter.
- Gosh, I hope so, I'm in his will.

664
00:47:38,766 --> 00:47:41,227
Hey, y'all, look who's here.

665
00:47:41,936 --> 00:47:44,063
Hello, Lou. Hello, Stone.

666
00:47:44,272 --> 00:47:46,065
Check Hollywood for knives.

667
00:47:46,274 --> 00:47:50,904
I don't want him operating on me later
in case I sneeze or something.

668
00:47:51,988 --> 00:47:54,199
Isn't this gonna be fun?

669
00:47:56,034 --> 00:48:00,246
- Oh, no, thank you, I'm a vegetarian.
- I know, dear, but I'm still hopeful.

670
00:48:00,413 --> 00:48:02,874
So am I. Vegetarian.

671
00:48:03,082 --> 00:48:05,752
- Since when?
- Then have some of this squash, Ben.

672
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:07,503
Flesh of the earth. Don't be shy.

673
00:48:07,712 --> 00:48:10,882
I'm not sure I trust a man
who doesn't eat meat.

674
00:48:11,090 --> 00:48:14,844
Don't be so provincial.
Where's your sense of adventure?

675
00:48:15,011 --> 00:48:19,641
I'd probably give vegetarians a better rate
for life insurance than a smoker, though.

676
00:48:19,849 --> 00:48:22,602
On account of that
lower cholesterol factor.

677
00:48:22,769 --> 00:48:27,065
Daddy, please, new subject.
We wanna hear all about California.

678
00:48:27,273 --> 00:48:30,109
I heard the women out there
have their chests enlarged...

679
00:48:30,318 --> 00:48:33,488
their thighs vacuumed
and barf on purpose.

680
00:48:33,696 --> 00:48:35,823
Not while people are eating.

681
00:48:35,990 --> 00:48:39,327
Yeah, tell us about
real doctoring, Stone.

682
00:48:39,536 --> 00:48:42,205
You know, big-city medicine.

683
00:48:42,413 --> 00:48:46,084
So much has changed in the 40 years
since you went to medical school...

684
00:48:46,292 --> 00:48:47,919
I wouldn't know where to start.

685
00:48:49,420 --> 00:48:51,464
- Smart-ass.
- Got you good.

686
00:48:52,006 --> 00:48:54,842
- More squash, Ben?
- No. I mean, no, thank you.

687
00:48:55,677 --> 00:49:00,849
Out of the cradle
Endlessly rocking

688
00:49:01,057 --> 00:49:04,477
Out of the mockingbird's throat

689
00:49:04,686 --> 00:49:07,438
The musical shuttle

690
00:49:07,647 --> 00:49:09,691
Out of the ninth month

691
00:49:09,899 --> 00:49:12,819
- Is this one of the long ones?
- No.

692
00:49:14,487 --> 00:49:16,281
Long ones?

693
00:49:16,948 --> 00:49:19,325
Doc Hogue does the complete
Walt Whitman...

694
00:49:19,492 --> 00:49:21,870
if you don't monitor his drinking.

695
00:49:22,078 --> 00:49:25,665
Down from the shower'd halo

696
00:49:25,832 --> 00:49:29,878
Up from the mystical play of shadows

697
00:49:32,839 --> 00:49:36,175
Man, I haven't seen
this many stars in a long time.

698
00:49:36,676 --> 00:49:40,346
I used to get so bored in this town,
I'd try to count them.

699
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,640
I could've gone to med school.

700
00:49:42,849 --> 00:49:46,728
Just the science part of it
I had a problem with.

701
00:49:46,936 --> 00:49:48,813
I'd lie on my back,
sometimes Wayne...

702
00:49:49,022 --> 00:49:51,357
would be on top of me
doing the wild thing.

703
00:49:51,566 --> 00:49:54,736
- It was hard not to lose my place.
- God, that's romantic.

704
00:49:54,944 --> 00:49:56,487
Then we moved to Manhattan...

705
00:49:56,863 --> 00:49:59,532
you could hardly see any stars,
let alone count them.

706
00:49:59,699 --> 00:50:02,702
The stars I'd like to see
are more of the two-legged kind.

707
00:50:02,911 --> 00:50:05,205
Earthquake insurance
is something I'm keen...

708
00:50:05,413 --> 00:50:07,373
to take a whack at out there in L.A.

709
00:50:07,582 --> 00:50:09,709
Talk about your no-brainer.

710
00:50:09,876 --> 00:50:14,088
Collect premiums for a gazillion years,
and if the big one ever does hit...

711
00:50:14,255 --> 00:50:17,258
declare bankruptcy and retire.

712
00:50:18,968 --> 00:50:21,888
- Decent and solid.
- Nobody's perfect.

713
00:50:22,096 --> 00:50:24,224
Hank, you gotta take Hogue home.

714
00:50:24,432 --> 00:50:26,809
He's about to launch
into "Song of Myself."

715
00:50:27,018 --> 00:50:28,895
My Lord.

716
00:50:29,354 --> 00:50:32,106
Never a dull moment,
hey, Ben Stone?

717
00:50:32,273 --> 00:50:34,150
I'll call you later.

718
00:50:34,526 --> 00:50:36,236
Make sure you got home okay.

719
00:50:54,170 --> 00:50:56,714
- Good night.
- Night.

720
00:51:32,166 --> 00:51:35,253
- I forgot my pig.
- She's sleeping with Em.

721
00:51:35,461 --> 00:51:37,922
I'll drop her off in the morning.

722
00:51:38,381 --> 00:51:41,467
Greek death? Take the edge off.

723
00:51:41,634 --> 00:51:43,887
Take the edge off what?

724
00:51:45,430 --> 00:51:47,056
Me.

725
00:51:49,893 --> 00:51:54,981
- You ran all the way over here.
- Oh, yeah. I ran and...

726
00:51:55,190 --> 00:51:57,859
walked. Got a stitch in my side.

727
00:51:58,026 --> 00:52:00,153
Why are you giving me
the full-court press...

728
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:03,406
if you're only leaving
in a couple of days anyway?

729
00:52:04,073 --> 00:52:05,700
You know, I don't know.

730
00:52:05,909 --> 00:52:10,997
It's like it's some kind
of mystical force.

731
00:52:11,206 --> 00:52:13,750
Force or hormones?

732
00:52:14,292 --> 00:52:16,502
Hey, come on.

733
00:52:16,711 --> 00:52:18,922
All I wanna do is talk.

734
00:52:21,257 --> 00:52:23,801
And get you sloppy drunk.

735
00:52:24,552 --> 00:52:26,346
Honesty. That's a new approach.

736
00:52:26,513 --> 00:52:31,559
I know. You're forcing me
into uncharted territory here.

737
00:52:32,519 --> 00:52:35,355
Hell, I might even try chastity.

738
00:52:36,189 --> 00:52:38,858
Seems to work for Hank.

739
00:52:43,780 --> 00:52:45,907
Speak of the devil.

740
00:52:48,409 --> 00:52:52,038
Listen, maybe a rain check?

741
00:52:53,831 --> 00:52:57,252
I never should have accepted
those flowers.

742
00:53:02,298 --> 00:53:03,841
What about tomorrow night?

743
00:53:04,050 --> 00:53:06,719
Desperation. I like this.

744
00:53:08,304 --> 00:53:14,853
Still, I wouldn't want the mayor to have
to lose 10 bucks over me, you know?

745
00:53:35,623 --> 00:53:37,000
Morning.

746
00:53:39,794 --> 00:53:41,588
Funny. Funny.

747
00:53:46,134 --> 00:53:50,430
Morning, doc.
That's a nice pig you got there!

748
00:53:50,763 --> 00:53:52,724
Yeah, that's what they tell me.

749
00:53:52,891 --> 00:53:58,229
Hey, Mr. McClary, be careful you don't
get another hook in your finger!

750
00:53:58,396 --> 00:54:03,276
Don't worry, doc.
We're not using hooks today.

751
00:54:15,163 --> 00:54:17,624
It's all right. It's all right.

752
00:54:24,214 --> 00:54:28,343
- He's a nice pig, doc.
- It's a she, actually.

753
00:54:32,972 --> 00:54:35,183
Relax, will you?

754
00:54:36,559 --> 00:54:39,562
House calls are probably
my favorite part of the job.

755
00:54:39,729 --> 00:54:44,692
Just driving out into the country, seeing
what might pop up around the next bend.

756
00:54:45,485 --> 00:54:47,445
Rainbows.

757
00:54:47,737 --> 00:54:49,614
Frost on the kudzu.

758
00:54:50,365 --> 00:54:54,911
John Muir said it, " Most people
are on the world, not in it."

759
00:54:58,665 --> 00:54:59,958
What?

760
00:55:01,209 --> 00:55:03,002
Nothing.

761
00:55:05,838 --> 00:55:07,549
What?

762
00:55:21,020 --> 00:55:23,940
Listen, you better let me handle
this one alone.

763
00:55:24,148 --> 00:55:27,151
- Obstetrical exam.
- Okay.

764
00:55:28,111 --> 00:55:31,364
"So Jimmy Joe went over to
the Pakistani's house with a shotgun."

765
00:55:31,573 --> 00:55:34,993
Excuse me.
Jimmy Joe is Ellen's brother?

766
00:55:35,201 --> 00:55:37,328
No, no. Boyfriend.

767
00:55:37,912 --> 00:55:40,123
I was stumped on that one too.

768
00:55:40,331 --> 00:55:43,501
"He stayed outside shooting holes
in the fella's foreign car...

769
00:55:43,668 --> 00:55:46,588
until Ellen came out and agreed
to come back home with him.

770
00:55:46,796 --> 00:55:50,133
It's the most romantic thing
Jimmy Joe has ever done for her."

771
00:55:56,139 --> 00:55:57,599
Tough one.

772
00:55:57,807 --> 00:56:01,394
How's Ellen making out
with the Pakistani man?

773
00:56:04,397 --> 00:56:05,940
Get him, get him. Come on, Bubba.

774
00:56:08,484 --> 00:56:12,322
I said... I said, no shots.

775
00:56:22,624 --> 00:56:24,500
This won't hurt.

776
00:56:24,667 --> 00:56:27,420
Well, I don't see an infection.

777
00:56:27,712 --> 00:56:29,505
But...

778
00:56:32,091 --> 00:56:34,219
Okay, hold still.

779
00:56:38,515 --> 00:56:41,184
- What is that, a V8?
- He did it.

780
00:56:43,770 --> 00:56:47,440
You know, house calls used to be
essential to every doctor's practice.

781
00:56:47,607 --> 00:56:50,610
The only way to know your patients
was to see where they live.

782
00:56:50,818 --> 00:56:52,862
How they lived.

783
00:56:53,613 --> 00:56:55,323
Maybe when I get to Halberstrom's...

784
00:56:55,532 --> 00:56:58,535
I'll get them to institute some kind
of visitation program.

785
00:56:58,743 --> 00:57:00,036
Damn it.

786
00:57:04,707 --> 00:57:06,417
Lou?

787
00:57:09,754 --> 00:57:11,381
Hey, Lou!

788
00:57:14,968 --> 00:57:17,637
Do you see another one?
They mark their way with these.

789
00:57:17,846 --> 00:57:21,891
They're too stupid or too drunk to
remember where they were most times.

790
00:57:22,058 --> 00:57:24,561
- Who?
- Hunters.

791
00:57:25,270 --> 00:57:28,523
Maybe this is the end of...
Yeah. See, there it is.

792
00:57:28,690 --> 00:57:31,150
That's where they sit
and wait for the slaughter.

793
00:57:31,317 --> 00:57:35,697
It's not like they do it for food either.
God, it gets me so hot.

794
00:57:40,785 --> 00:57:43,079
You wanna help me here?

795
00:57:43,621 --> 00:57:44,998
What are you doing?

796
00:57:45,999 --> 00:57:47,458
I'm urinating.

797
00:57:48,918 --> 00:57:51,838
You just drop trou
whenever you feel like it.

798
00:57:52,046 --> 00:57:56,009
Well, it scares the deer away
so the hunters won't get them.

799
00:57:58,011 --> 00:58:00,763
Why don't you just, you know,
say "boo" or something?

800
00:58:00,930 --> 00:58:04,767
I try to spread it around.
A little here, a little there.

801
00:58:06,394 --> 00:58:08,771
Feel free to join in.

802
00:58:31,502 --> 00:58:35,298
Anyway, it's not like I planned
to be pregnant at 19...

803
00:58:35,506 --> 00:58:37,550
but it could have been worse
than Wayne.

804
00:58:37,759 --> 00:58:39,886
Wendall Barnes.

805
00:58:40,094 --> 00:58:41,471
You'd be interested in him.

806
00:58:41,638 --> 00:58:44,807
He comes from a whole family
that doesn't have sweat glands.

807
00:58:45,016 --> 00:58:48,102
Really? I'm fascinated
by the gland-less.

808
00:58:48,311 --> 00:58:49,604
I guess it's genetic.

809
00:58:49,812 --> 00:58:53,316
During the summer, they all sleep under
the house on account of the heat.

810
00:58:53,483 --> 00:58:56,819
That's a touching story. Really.
Thanks for sharing that with me.

811
00:58:56,986 --> 00:59:00,740
You don't see a lot of things in Grady,
but what you do see, you see a lot of.

812
00:59:00,907 --> 00:59:02,951
Yeah, I'm from a small town myself.

813
00:59:03,409 --> 00:59:05,036
What?

814
00:59:06,538 --> 00:59:11,251
Marionville, Indiana.
Population: 2106.

815
00:59:11,417 --> 00:59:14,504
Home of the world's largest
steam engine.

816
00:59:15,046 --> 00:59:16,673
But you told everybody that you...

817
00:59:16,881 --> 00:59:20,718
No, no, no. Everybody assumed
I was a big-city guy.

818
00:59:20,927 --> 00:59:23,221
Nobody asked.

819
00:59:23,429 --> 00:59:26,015
Anyway, I got out,
and I'm staying out.

820
00:59:28,476 --> 00:59:31,062
Have you still got
your whole family there?

821
00:59:31,271 --> 00:59:33,648
Well, they talked about leaving...

822
00:59:33,857 --> 00:59:36,609
but my dad never quite...

823
00:59:37,694 --> 00:59:39,946
They lived there, they died there.

824
00:59:40,154 --> 00:59:42,365
For better or for worse.

825
00:59:42,907 --> 00:59:47,287
So when I left home, I swore
to myself I was never going back.

826
00:59:48,246 --> 00:59:50,915
It's not the place, it's the person.

827
00:59:51,875 --> 00:59:55,128
Be careful what you wish for,
Ben Stone, you might get it.

828
00:59:55,336 --> 00:59:56,880
What's that supposed to mean?

829
00:59:57,046 --> 00:59:59,716
You never been back,
not even to see your friends?

830
00:59:59,883 --> 01:00:03,136
Well, who's got time for friends?

831
01:00:07,682 --> 01:00:11,019
No, you gotta get Dr. Stone
back here ASAP.

832
01:00:11,227 --> 01:00:13,354
We got a possible
coronary emergency.

833
01:00:13,563 --> 01:00:17,525
- Can't Doc Hogue handle this?
- /t is Hogue. Over.

834
01:00:21,446 --> 01:00:23,907
- Hey, lie down.
- Oh, crap, I'm doomed.

835
01:00:24,282 --> 01:00:26,242
Lie down now.
You're having a heart attack.

836
01:00:26,451 --> 01:00:28,494
My angina's acting up is all.

837
01:00:28,661 --> 01:00:31,831
- Got any nitro pills down there?
- No, get a bolus of Lidocaine.

838
01:00:31,998 --> 01:00:34,334
I'm the senior sawbones around here.

839
01:00:34,542 --> 01:00:37,879
PVCs are too close to your T-waves.
In 30 seconds, you're in trouble.

840
01:00:38,087 --> 01:00:39,547
Get him away from me.

841
01:00:39,714 --> 01:00:43,384
If I'm wrong, Lidocaine won't hurt.
If you're wrong, it's a ventricular fib.

842
01:00:43,593 --> 01:00:45,220
I'm never wrong.

843
01:00:46,763 --> 01:00:49,182
Get the defibrillator over here.

844
01:00:49,474 --> 01:00:50,934
Never wrong.

845
01:00:51,142 --> 01:00:53,186
Four hundred watts.

846
01:00:53,478 --> 01:00:54,771
Clear. Clear!

847
01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:59,067
Heartbeat.

848
01:00:59,234 --> 01:01:02,570
- Sixty.
- Wow, you mean he actually has one.

849
01:01:02,779 --> 01:01:05,323
Keep him on oxygen
and set the Lidocaine drip.

850
01:01:06,449 --> 01:01:08,409
Guess I'm staying here tonight.

851
01:01:21,839 --> 01:01:23,383
Oh, doctor.

852
01:01:23,591 --> 01:01:25,885
I've got your bed ready.

853
01:01:28,137 --> 01:01:29,681
Right.

854
01:01:33,852 --> 01:01:35,144
Sleep well, doctor.

855
01:01:43,611 --> 01:01:45,989
At which point, all the bees,
including Melvin...

856
01:01:46,155 --> 01:01:48,616
lunged off the edge
of the stage like lemmings.

857
01:01:48,825 --> 01:01:51,661
- A standing ovation.
- Variations on a theme.

858
01:01:51,870 --> 01:01:53,246
Sorry I missed it.

859
01:01:53,454 --> 01:01:56,875
That's the first squash pageant
that I missed in 15 years.

860
01:01:57,083 --> 01:01:58,459
What's going on here?

861
01:01:58,668 --> 01:02:02,714
It's called moral support
for the recovering patient.

862
01:02:02,922 --> 01:02:04,382
Cherry cobbler, Ben?

863
01:02:04,591 --> 01:02:08,636
Everybody out. Let's go.
Come on, visiting hours are over.

864
01:02:08,845 --> 01:02:13,558
Don't mind Doc Hollywood. He doesn't
know what it means to be beloved.

865
01:02:15,435 --> 01:02:19,105
If you've come to clean the room,
my bedpan's ripe.

866
01:02:23,818 --> 01:02:27,155
Oh, no.
Not Maddie's sweet potato pie.

867
01:02:27,322 --> 01:02:29,991
You can razz me all you want, doc.

868
01:02:30,450 --> 01:02:33,203
I saved your life last night.

869
01:02:33,453 --> 01:02:36,372
You know it, and I know it.

870
01:02:37,373 --> 01:02:39,167
Gotcha.

871
01:04:11,050 --> 01:04:14,220
Dr. Halberstrom, please.
It's Ben Stone calling.

872
01:04:15,096 --> 01:04:17,307
It's regarding...

873
01:04:17,891 --> 01:04:22,520
I'm not gonna be able to make
my interview on Friday.

874
01:04:23,146 --> 01:04:28,318
I realize the doctor has a tight schedule.
I'm not gonna be able to leave without...

875
01:04:30,403 --> 01:04:31,696
Right.

876
01:04:31,905 --> 01:04:35,950
Is there any way that he can reschedule
the appointment for another time?

877
01:04:36,743 --> 01:04:39,495
All right. Thanks a lot.

878
01:05:08,733 --> 01:05:12,153
Here you go. Get hot and take a shot.
Get hot and take a shot.

879
01:05:12,362 --> 01:05:13,988
What's the object of this one, pal?

880
01:05:14,197 --> 01:05:16,533
Ten shots a dollar.
Five bull's-eyes win a possum.

881
01:05:16,741 --> 01:05:20,328
- Suppose I was to hit five out of five.
- I'll give you two possums.

882
01:05:29,087 --> 01:05:33,800
Sir, run Henry a tab.
He feels deadly today.

883
01:05:36,219 --> 01:05:38,721
Evening, Dr. Stone.

884
01:05:51,943 --> 01:05:53,319
Hey, doc.

885
01:05:56,197 --> 01:05:59,367
The new one's in.
Your chariot's good as new.

886
01:05:59,534 --> 01:06:01,911
Or good as new used, since it's old.

887
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:05,039
- You fixed my car?
- Even all the ashtrays.

888
01:06:05,206 --> 01:06:07,417
Oh, man, I can't believe this.

889
01:06:07,584 --> 01:06:08,877
Melvin, thanks, man.

890
01:06:11,170 --> 01:06:12,964
There's always some extra parts...

891
01:06:13,131 --> 01:06:15,508
when I put them back together.
I don't know why.

892
01:06:15,717 --> 01:06:19,053
But you go ahead on. Keep them.

893
01:06:23,641 --> 01:06:25,852
- Dance with me or I'm dog food.
- What?

894
01:06:26,060 --> 01:06:29,397
- Wendall Barnes.
- Of the gland-less Barnes?

895
01:06:29,606 --> 01:06:31,900
- Jesus.
- Yeah. Come on.

896
01:06:32,108 --> 01:06:34,360
Absolutely.

897
01:06:49,751 --> 01:06:51,544
You see, the trick...

898
01:06:52,212 --> 01:06:56,341
is just to visualize the target
on the backs of your eyeballs...

899
01:06:56,549 --> 01:07:01,471
and then pretend you're just
shooting yourself in the eye.

900
01:07:09,020 --> 01:07:11,314
I can't keep up.

901
01:07:29,999 --> 01:07:31,709
How's Hogue?

902
01:07:31,876 --> 01:07:33,503
Meaner than ever.

903
01:07:40,552 --> 01:07:42,345
Dance?

904
01:07:48,643 --> 01:07:50,603
Where's Hank?

905
01:07:50,895 --> 01:07:52,772
I forget.

906
01:09:55,395 --> 01:09:57,438
The music stopped.

907
01:09:58,022 --> 01:09:59,899
What music?

908
01:10:03,903 --> 01:10:05,697
Dr. Stone.

909
01:10:06,155 --> 01:10:09,325
- I have a present for you.
- Thanks, judge.

910
01:10:09,534 --> 01:10:13,413
I want to thank you for saving
my old friend Hogue's miserable life.

911
01:10:13,621 --> 01:10:15,915
I wouldn't be able
to call myself a Christian...

912
01:10:16,082 --> 01:10:18,835
if I didn't pardon you
on the remainder of your sentence.

913
01:10:19,043 --> 01:10:21,087
You're free to go
whenever you want.

914
01:10:21,254 --> 01:10:23,464
What I wouldn't give to be young
on the road...

915
01:10:23,631 --> 01:10:26,467
footloose and fancy-free.

916
01:10:26,634 --> 01:10:29,804
Did I tell you? I've already got plans
for a new fence.

917
01:10:30,013 --> 01:10:32,348
All of a sudden,
I got a bug in my ear...

918
01:10:32,557 --> 01:10:35,810
for one of those solid-oak numbers
with curly tops.

919
01:10:38,271 --> 01:10:39,981
Victory.

920
01:10:40,148 --> 01:10:42,358
Did you kill that critter
all by yourself?

921
01:10:42,567 --> 01:10:44,027
Very funny.

922
01:10:44,235 --> 01:10:48,948
Don't you have some urgent business
thousands of miles away from here?

923
01:10:49,157 --> 01:10:53,119
Vialula, your daughter was dumping
grasshoppers in the punch bowl again.

924
01:10:53,328 --> 01:10:54,412
Only two.

925
01:10:54,621 --> 01:11:00,376
- Shake a leg with the judicial branch?
- Why, I'd love to. Thank you.

926
01:11:01,002 --> 01:11:02,462
Would you hold this possum?

927
01:11:02,629 --> 01:11:06,132
I think it's time I reacquainted
your mama with some real dancing.

928
01:11:06,341 --> 01:11:09,010
No offense, Hollywood.

929
01:11:14,766 --> 01:11:17,310
When you gonna bring
your pig back around?

930
01:11:26,861 --> 01:11:29,781
Hey there, Ben Stone.
Hey, how are you?

931
01:11:29,948 --> 01:11:32,158
Been looking for you.
What a great day.

932
01:11:32,325 --> 01:11:34,869
Boy, this is it.

933
01:11:35,078 --> 01:11:38,498
The pinnacle of existence,
the grandeur of Grady.

934
01:11:38,665 --> 01:11:40,875
Sap of life.
Couldn't be happier if I was twins.

935
01:11:41,084 --> 01:11:45,004
- You put on a hell of a festival, mayor.
- Ain't you nice to say so.

936
01:11:45,213 --> 01:11:49,133
Ben, let's talk turkey.
Or squash, as it were.

937
01:11:49,342 --> 01:11:51,678
- About what?
- Home.

938
01:11:51,886 --> 01:11:53,179
Heart.

939
01:11:53,388 --> 01:11:54,931
Happiness.

940
01:11:55,098 --> 01:11:56,808
You belong here, Ben Stone.

941
01:11:57,016 --> 01:12:00,937
Breaks my heart to think of you
out there in the land of lunatics.

942
01:12:01,145 --> 01:12:04,482
I'm danged if I'll let you go
without holding up a mirror to your face.

943
01:12:04,691 --> 01:12:08,736
Like that smile of contentment there.
So you see that? See there?

944
01:12:08,903 --> 01:12:13,116
That's a face that's liked and loved.
A face with friends and a future.

945
01:12:13,283 --> 01:12:15,743
Can't find some other way
to force me to stay?

946
01:12:15,952 --> 01:12:17,328
Ben.

947
01:12:17,495 --> 01:12:19,372
I am everything but devious.

948
01:12:19,539 --> 01:12:23,042
Mayor, could you come check
these ribs and tell me if they're done?

949
01:12:23,251 --> 01:12:24,961
I sure can.

950
01:12:25,169 --> 01:12:27,380
Rigors of the job, huh?

951
01:12:27,797 --> 01:12:32,177
Well, you got your fire way too high,
I'll tell you that.

952
01:12:32,677 --> 01:12:34,053
Well, don't do that.

953
01:12:36,139 --> 01:12:39,225
Come on, come on.

954
01:12:41,769 --> 01:12:44,063
- Hi, doc.
- Gentlemen.

955
01:13:20,892 --> 01:13:23,186
Careful with those things.

956
01:13:40,078 --> 01:13:43,957
I know I shouldn't be doing this because
you're leaving, but I don't care.

957
01:13:44,165 --> 01:13:46,042
I can't help it.

958
01:13:46,251 --> 01:13:47,877
So get in.

959
01:13:48,211 --> 01:13:52,257
- Do you mean what I think you mean?
- Just get in if you're gonna get in.

960
01:13:58,763 --> 01:14:01,599
Lou, I gotta be honest with you.

961
01:14:01,766 --> 01:14:04,602
Rowing a boat is not
what I had in mind.

962
01:14:09,023 --> 01:14:10,733
Not bad, huh?

963
01:14:14,153 --> 01:14:15,446
Incredible.

964
01:14:17,323 --> 01:14:19,659
- What was that?
- Freshwater mullet.

965
01:14:19,868 --> 01:14:24,080
They see the sparks from the skyrockets,
think it's food and jump for it.

966
01:14:24,289 --> 01:14:26,332
That's scary.

967
01:14:26,583 --> 01:14:28,626
Maybe I could...

968
01:14:29,127 --> 01:14:31,337
sit next to you,
and you could protect me.

969
01:14:31,504 --> 01:14:33,631
No. You'll throw us off balance.

970
01:14:33,798 --> 01:14:36,009
I want you off balance.

971
01:14:36,217 --> 01:14:38,178
- He's in the boat!
- Hold still.

972
01:14:38,386 --> 01:14:40,346
- Get him.
- Watch it, you'll tip us over.

973
01:14:40,555 --> 01:14:42,682
- Get him, Lou.
- Okay, I got it.

974
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:49,898
You did that on purpose.

975
01:14:50,899 --> 01:14:53,401
All right, I admit it.

976
01:14:53,902 --> 01:14:57,697
I worked my way through college
by training bass.

977
01:15:21,346 --> 01:15:22,722
Lou?

978
01:15:23,264 --> 01:15:25,141
It's okay.

979
01:15:26,017 --> 01:15:28,436
Listen, if you don't wanna...

980
01:15:29,020 --> 01:15:33,066
Ben, I don't think I've ever wanted
anything more in my entire life, ever.

981
01:15:33,775 --> 01:15:37,195
I'm just not used to being
a one-night stand.

982
01:15:39,906 --> 01:15:42,992
You don't have to be.
I mean, I could...

983
01:15:43,201 --> 01:15:46,829
No. I wouldn't know what to do
with myself in Los Angeles.

984
01:15:47,038 --> 01:15:49,541
There are too many choices.

985
01:15:51,125 --> 01:15:53,795
Let's not think about it, okay?

986
01:15:59,425 --> 01:16:01,553
I can't do this.

987
01:16:13,773 --> 01:16:18,403
Mind walking from here? I don't wanna
give the gossips any more fat to chew.

988
01:16:20,947 --> 01:16:22,657
Right.

989
01:16:23,533 --> 01:16:26,536
Don't worry, Benjamin,
it'll all work out.

990
01:16:46,181 --> 01:16:48,141
Hey, Jasmine.

991
01:17:09,370 --> 01:17:10,914
Hey, Hank.

992
01:17:11,873 --> 01:17:15,543
You've made me real mad.

993
01:17:17,212 --> 01:17:18,755
About what?

994
01:17:18,922 --> 01:17:20,882
What do you think?

995
01:17:21,090 --> 01:17:24,260
I know you were out on that lake
with her.

996
01:17:24,552 --> 01:17:27,889
It makes me sick
to think of you and her.

997
01:17:28,097 --> 01:17:30,475
- Nothing happened.
- Oh, right.

998
01:17:30,683 --> 01:17:32,810
Nothing happened!

999
01:17:33,019 --> 01:17:35,146
Come on, tough guy!
Come on, country boy!

1000
01:17:35,355 --> 01:17:38,107
You wanna take a shot at me, huh?
Come on!

1001
01:17:38,274 --> 01:17:41,027
- What are you doing?
- Come on, country boy, get up! Let's go.

1002
01:17:41,653 --> 01:17:43,279
Are you paranoid or something?

1003
01:17:45,949 --> 01:17:47,575
No.

1004
01:17:48,368 --> 01:17:50,578
But I'm a little confused.

1005
01:17:58,753 --> 01:18:01,172
I suppose you and her
will be getting married now.

1006
01:18:07,804 --> 01:18:09,848
It's the Southern way.

1007
01:18:10,056 --> 01:18:12,725
Man and woman as one.

1008
01:18:13,101 --> 01:18:18,523
Make sacrifices to build equity
in a future that has security.

1009
01:18:19,023 --> 01:18:21,568
Why do you sound like
a Mutual of Omaha ad?

1010
01:18:21,901 --> 01:18:23,945
Fine, joke it up.

1011
01:18:24,112 --> 01:18:26,322
At least I was prepared to marry her.

1012
01:18:28,992 --> 01:18:30,535
She's not in love with you.

1013
01:18:31,703 --> 01:18:34,372
Okay. That's the only
roadblock, though.

1014
01:18:38,084 --> 01:18:40,128
Let me ask you something.

1015
01:18:41,087 --> 01:18:44,924
Don't you think a guy is entitled
to choose his own destiny?

1016
01:18:45,550 --> 01:18:48,219
Whether it's in a small town
or even in California.

1017
01:18:48,428 --> 01:18:50,847
It's just that he shouldn't have it
handed to him.

1018
01:18:51,055 --> 01:18:54,392
Not like it's a... You know, like...

1019
01:18:54,601 --> 01:18:56,227
A hat?

1020
01:18:58,354 --> 01:19:00,648
Right. Okay, good. Like a hat.

1021
01:19:00,857 --> 01:19:04,110
Your father and your grandfather wore it,
now you're stuck with it.

1022
01:19:04,319 --> 01:19:06,988
Only the damn thing is too small.
It just doesn't fit.

1023
01:19:07,197 --> 01:19:12,410
- I hate a tight hat.
- There's a lot of hats out there.

1024
01:19:12,702 --> 01:19:16,372
And even if this one fits...

1025
01:19:16,581 --> 01:19:18,374
and I'm not saying that it does...

1026
01:19:18,541 --> 01:19:22,587
how do you know it's the right one
when you haven't tried any others on?

1027
01:19:22,795 --> 01:19:25,006
I sure haven't.

1028
01:19:26,591 --> 01:19:28,968
I mean, that's what
I'm talking about.

1029
01:19:30,094 --> 01:19:32,847
I just don't wanna screw up her life.

1030
01:19:34,057 --> 01:19:36,184
You know, Hollywood...

1031
01:19:36,351 --> 01:19:40,647
sometimes a man's gotta do
what a man's gotta do.

1032
01:19:40,855 --> 01:19:45,735
And maybe...
Maybe it's in California.

1033
01:19:47,820 --> 01:19:50,198
Yeah, maybe you're right.

1034
01:19:51,449 --> 01:19:55,495
- Well, I'm glad we got that cleaned up.
- Me too, Hank.

1035
01:19:55,703 --> 01:19:58,164
Don't that take the rag off the bush?

1036
01:19:58,373 --> 01:20:00,750
Don't forget what I told you.

1037
01:21:04,272 --> 01:21:05,565
Hey, please!

1038
01:21:09,402 --> 01:21:11,362
Shit.

1039
01:21:20,496 --> 01:21:22,457
Shit.

1040
01:21:22,665 --> 01:21:24,375
Shit.

1041
01:21:36,429 --> 01:21:38,223
Dr. Stone.

1042
01:21:38,389 --> 01:21:40,517
Mary. Decided to drop by,
see how you were doing.

1043
01:21:40,683 --> 01:21:44,812
No damn good. Water's broke. I hurt.
This ain't like none of the others.

1044
01:21:45,021 --> 01:21:46,981
They never are.

1045
01:21:47,982 --> 01:21:51,069
Did Doc Hogue tell you this baby
might come out the wrong way?

1046
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:54,989
He's coming.
He don't care which way.

1047
01:21:56,699 --> 01:22:00,036
- Fiddlesticks. Don't push, Mary.
- I can run, get an ambulance.

1048
01:22:00,203 --> 01:22:03,873
There's no time for that. Go into my
duffle bag, there's four clean shirts.

1049
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,876
Get them and rip them
into even pieces.

1050
01:22:07,752 --> 01:22:11,589
Listen, Mary, don't push. I know
you want to, but don't push.

1051
01:22:11,798 --> 01:22:14,300
I'll try to turn him around
so he comes the right way.

1052
01:22:14,968 --> 01:22:16,928
Is it these ones?

1053
01:22:17,095 --> 01:22:21,558
- "Aramana"?
- Armani. Those are the ones.

1054
01:22:25,979 --> 01:22:29,858
Okay, now. Now! That's it.
Great. Great. Great.

1055
01:22:30,066 --> 01:22:32,193
Okay, okay, okay.

1056
01:22:32,902 --> 01:22:36,489
Now go! Push. Push, Mary.
You're doing great.

1057
01:22:36,698 --> 01:22:38,825
You're doing great.

1058
01:22:39,325 --> 01:22:41,369
I got a leg. I got a leg.

1059
01:22:49,544 --> 01:22:52,964
All right. Go ahead, go ahead.

1060
01:22:53,548 --> 01:22:55,425
Someone's coming.

1061
01:22:55,592 --> 01:22:58,595
Doc, someone's coming.

1062
01:22:59,429 --> 01:23:01,389
Okay, all right.

1063
01:23:06,186 --> 01:23:08,146
Push! Push, Mary!

1064
01:23:18,031 --> 01:23:19,324
Doc, your car.

1065
01:23:21,618 --> 01:23:23,161
What do I do?

1066
01:23:24,579 --> 01:23:26,289
Okay.

1067
01:23:27,540 --> 01:23:29,792
- Good girl!
- What do I do?

1068
01:23:30,001 --> 01:23:31,294
Push, Mary.

1069
01:23:35,423 --> 01:23:37,050
It's a girl!

1070
01:24:12,335 --> 01:24:14,879
I think I can fix that.

1071
01:24:30,186 --> 01:24:33,273
- You rang?
- First breech you ever delivered?

1072
01:24:34,858 --> 01:24:37,110
First baby I ever delivered.

1073
01:24:37,318 --> 01:24:38,611
By myself.

1074
01:24:39,571 --> 01:24:42,115
- Whiskey?
- No, thanks.

1075
01:24:42,323 --> 01:24:44,826
In fact, I wouldn't recommend that
for you, either.

1076
01:24:45,034 --> 01:24:47,704
You're not my doctor,
and you're not my wife...

1077
01:24:47,871 --> 01:24:50,957
so I guess you don't have
very much to say about it.

1078
01:24:53,376 --> 01:24:56,296
You're not fixing to stay, huh, Stone?

1079
01:24:56,462 --> 01:24:58,756
Changed your mind, huh?

1080
01:24:58,965 --> 01:25:01,634
Now that your car's
all busted to bubkes...

1081
01:25:01,801 --> 01:25:05,555
and you're feeling pretty good
about yourself in general, huh?

1082
01:25:07,432 --> 01:25:08,725
Come here.

1083
01:25:17,025 --> 01:25:19,402
I had them up once.

1084
01:25:19,569 --> 01:25:23,489
Over 700 babies I delivered
in this town over the years.

1085
01:25:23,698 --> 01:25:24,991
Nurse Packer.

1086
01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:30,246
She popped right out complete with
teeth and hair and bit me. An omen.

1087
01:25:30,455 --> 01:25:31,748
Nicholson.

1088
01:25:31,956 --> 01:25:33,666
Hank.

1089
01:25:34,667 --> 01:25:39,589
I gave them birth, saw them through
every sneeze and sniffle...

1090
01:25:39,797 --> 01:25:43,134
and sometimes even walked them
to the gravesite.

1091
01:25:43,885 --> 01:25:47,805
They're pretty well
my portfolio, Stone.

1092
01:25:48,014 --> 01:25:52,393
That and an old car, an old house.

1093
01:25:52,769 --> 01:25:56,022
I wouldn't trade any of them for gold.

1094
01:25:56,856 --> 01:25:59,067
Well, maybe gold.

1095
01:25:59,734 --> 01:26:02,028
Or cash money.

1096
01:26:05,615 --> 01:26:07,492
- Hey.
- Doc.

1097
01:26:08,493 --> 01:26:10,370
Hey, Mary, how's our girl?

1098
01:26:10,537 --> 01:26:14,374
We decided she's gonna be
"Benjamina," after you.

1099
01:26:15,250 --> 01:26:17,126
What?

1100
01:26:17,919 --> 01:26:19,712
Thank you.

1101
01:26:20,213 --> 01:26:23,383
There's an obstetrician coming up
from Athens General later...

1102
01:26:23,591 --> 01:26:26,052
just to make sure everything's okay.

1103
01:26:27,303 --> 01:26:28,930
Benjamina.

1104
01:26:30,849 --> 01:26:35,311
Yo, doc, I wanted to just thank you
for, you know, everything...

1105
01:26:35,478 --> 01:26:38,481
so I made you this in appreciation.

1106
01:26:39,190 --> 01:26:44,529
I know it ain't very much, so if there's
ever anything at all I can do for you...

1107
01:26:44,696 --> 01:26:49,158
Just let me know what happens
with Ellen, Jimmy Joe and the Pakistani.

1108
01:27:09,262 --> 01:27:11,472
I heard what happened last night.
You did great.

1109
01:27:12,265 --> 01:27:16,561
- I didn't know what I was doing.
- Well, sometimes that's the best way.

1110
01:27:18,021 --> 01:27:19,981
There's something
that I wanted to say.

1111
01:27:20,148 --> 01:27:24,110
Something I wanted to say
to you first. Is that okay?

1112
01:27:24,736 --> 01:27:29,199
So I've been doing a lot of thinking
about last night.

1113
01:27:29,365 --> 01:27:32,285
Last night was really difficult.

1114
01:27:32,577 --> 01:27:37,457
Everything's all turned around now.
I've been thinking about you and me...

1115
01:27:37,665 --> 01:27:41,169
and big cities, small towns...
Well, I'm gonna marry Hank.

1116
01:27:43,338 --> 01:27:45,381
I've decided.

1117
01:27:49,511 --> 01:27:51,554
It's a plane ticket to Los Angeles.

1118
01:27:52,180 --> 01:27:54,057
The whole town chipped in.

1119
01:27:54,224 --> 01:27:59,145
We've kept you here this long, and if you
wait for Melvin to fix your car again...

1120
01:28:01,314 --> 01:28:03,566
You got Los Angeles waiting for you.

1121
01:28:03,775 --> 01:28:06,778
I've got Emma. It's not fair to you.

1122
01:28:06,986 --> 01:28:09,906
Hank's steady, and he's here.

1123
01:28:10,114 --> 01:28:11,824
You...

1124
01:28:12,617 --> 01:28:16,663
You're like a big, bright shooting star and
you're right, Ben, you'd burn out here.

1125
01:28:22,252 --> 01:28:23,878
Wait a minute.

1126
01:28:29,509 --> 01:28:32,762
Well, Ben Stone, you have five minutes
to say goodbye to Shangri-la.

1127
01:28:32,929 --> 01:28:36,432
Cotton will give you a police escort
to the airport.

1128
01:28:43,898 --> 01:28:46,276
We made you a sack lunch.

1129
01:28:46,442 --> 01:28:48,820
Airplane food can cause gas.

1130
01:28:54,951 --> 01:28:57,161
I guess I'll watch after your pig.

1131
01:28:57,370 --> 01:29:00,707
Just hope she takes to the farm
after living in town like this.

1132
01:29:01,416 --> 01:29:03,376
Appreciate it.

1133
01:29:03,835 --> 01:29:06,337
A lot of folks around here
gonna miss you.

1134
01:29:07,213 --> 01:29:10,717
I don't mean me.
But a lot of folks.

1135
01:29:42,707 --> 01:29:44,167
Adieu.

1136
01:29:52,967 --> 01:29:55,720
Back to the interstate,
Ben Stone, huh?

1137
01:29:55,887 --> 01:29:57,347
Back to the interstate.

1138
01:31:29,022 --> 01:31:30,982
You okay?

1139
01:31:31,858 --> 01:31:34,360
Oh, yes, I am fine.

1140
01:31:39,324 --> 01:31:43,036
Good morning, Halberstrom Clinic.
Could you hold, please.

1141
01:31:43,244 --> 01:31:47,290
Good morning, Halberstrom Clinic.
Good morning, Halberstrom Clinic.

1142
01:31:48,708 --> 01:31:50,919
Oh, hold. Yes, doctor.

1143
01:31:51,753 --> 01:31:53,963
- Mr. Stone?
- Dr. Stone.

1144
01:31:56,174 --> 01:31:58,218
Dr. Halberstrom can see you now.

1145
01:32:12,941 --> 01:32:16,194
Do you have any idea how many
applications I went through this year?

1146
01:32:16,402 --> 01:32:19,239
Yes, sir. That's why I knew
this interview was important.

1147
01:32:19,405 --> 01:32:22,242
I would've been here earlier
if I could've been. I think...

1148
01:32:22,408 --> 01:32:26,955
I know you're a great surgeon, Stone.
That whole pile is full of great surgeons.

1149
01:32:27,372 --> 01:32:29,249
Did you expect special consideration...

1150
01:32:29,457 --> 01:32:31,417
because we're from
the same hometown?

1151
01:32:31,626 --> 01:32:33,753
- Because I knew your father?
- No, sir.

1152
01:32:33,962 --> 01:32:36,631
Good. Because you didn't get shit.

1153
01:32:36,798 --> 01:32:41,177
You wouldn't be here at all if it weren't
for a call I got from Dr. Aurelius Hogue.

1154
01:32:43,555 --> 01:32:45,014
Dr. Hogue called you?

1155
01:32:45,223 --> 01:32:48,226
I saw two doctors last week
with more experience than you...

1156
01:32:48,434 --> 01:32:51,104
and better board certification scores.

1157
01:32:52,397 --> 01:32:55,400
Dr. Hogue's a piece of work, isn't he?

1158
01:32:55,775 --> 01:32:57,151
What did he say?

1159
01:32:57,318 --> 01:33:01,072
That you were doing volunteer
family practice down South somewhere.

1160
01:33:03,199 --> 01:33:07,078
Yes. Yeah. Yes, yes, that's right.

1161
01:33:07,871 --> 01:33:11,541
Went there to get that small-town chip
off your shoulder, didn't you?

1162
01:33:11,708 --> 01:33:15,837
- Yeah.
- Well, you're braver than I was, Stone.

1163
01:33:16,004 --> 01:33:19,174
Any case,
Hogue said you were, quote:

1164
01:33:19,340 --> 01:33:23,261
"One hellaciously fine physician."

1165
01:33:23,469 --> 01:33:27,307
That I would be " a bovine,
clodpated, citified moron"...

1166
01:33:27,473 --> 01:33:29,893
if I didn't hire you on the spot.

1167
01:33:30,101 --> 01:33:32,061
I wrote it down so I wouldn't forget.

1168
01:33:32,228 --> 01:33:34,981
So I guess you're in, Stone. Congrats.

1169
01:33:35,148 --> 01:33:37,108
What time do I tee off?

1170
01:33:37,317 --> 01:33:39,527
You do play golf, don't you?

1171
01:33:39,736 --> 01:33:43,072
Great. Don't worry about that.
It's not anywhere you can see it.

1172
01:33:43,239 --> 01:33:47,118
The secret to this business is to get
a good pace going for yourself.

1173
01:33:47,327 --> 01:33:51,164
Nobody likes to admit it,
but medicine's a volume business.

1174
01:33:51,331 --> 01:33:54,000
Ninety-nine percent of what we do
is boilerplate surgery.

1175
01:33:54,209 --> 01:33:57,045
It means we can afford
the one percent that's meaningful.

1176
01:33:57,212 --> 01:34:00,924
Disfigurements, birth defects,
hare lips.

1177
01:34:01,966 --> 01:34:05,220
Cleft palates.
You live for those moments.

1178
01:34:05,428 --> 01:34:07,555
The bigger you get, the bigger the nut.

1179
01:34:07,722 --> 01:34:11,518
We're a service industry. Comes with
the territory. Fixed costs, specialization.

1180
01:34:11,726 --> 01:34:14,479
People adjust to it or fail.
Look at cable TV.

1181
01:34:14,646 --> 01:34:16,856
You're gonna see
some changes, Stone.

1182
01:34:17,524 --> 01:34:21,986
Stone, see if patient number 434
is in preop yet.

1183
01:34:22,153 --> 01:34:25,490
We can squeeze one more in
before lunch, don't you think?

1184
01:35:05,363 --> 01:35:08,533
Hi. This is
the National Weather Service forecast...

1185
01:35:08,700 --> 01:35:11,077
for the greater Grady area tomorrow.

1186
01:35:11,244 --> 01:35:14,247
There'll be plenty of sunshine
and blue skies.

1187
01:35:14,414 --> 01:35:17,167
The old temperature
should be in the 90s again...

1188
01:35:17,333 --> 01:35:21,629
but a cool afternoon breeze will
make it all worthwhile come evening.

1189
01:35:21,796 --> 01:35:25,675
Y'all look out for the lightning bugs
after sunset.

1190
01:35:45,445 --> 01:35:47,822
- Actress alert.
- Excuse me.

1191
01:35:48,031 --> 01:35:49,908
Some girl called for you.

1192
01:35:50,116 --> 01:35:54,746
Said you'd know who it was,
said she'd meet you at this bar.

1193
01:35:55,622 --> 01:35:59,918
Like, as if you're gonna rush
right over there. Right.

1194
01:36:00,084 --> 01:36:05,507
Totally unbelievable Southern accent.
An actress, I'll bet.

1195
01:36:36,329 --> 01:36:40,083
- Hi. Can I help you?
- I'm supposed to meet someone, a girl.

1196
01:36:40,792 --> 01:36:42,752
Ben.

1197
01:36:50,134 --> 01:36:52,262
Nancy Lee?

1198
01:36:56,808 --> 01:37:02,647
Well, I had to give it a shot, you know.
I just thought, just in case.

1199
01:37:03,147 --> 01:37:04,774
Guess not.

1200
01:37:06,359 --> 01:37:08,319
You...

1201
01:37:09,112 --> 01:37:11,781
You drove all this way
just to bring me my car?

1202
01:37:11,990 --> 01:37:13,283
Sort of.

1203
01:37:13,491 --> 01:37:16,661
Well, I mean, it gave me an excuse
to get the hell out of Grady.

1204
01:37:16,870 --> 01:37:19,372
Pardon my French.
Things were bad before...

1205
01:37:19,581 --> 01:37:22,917
but since you left,
they got positively stagnant.

1206
01:37:26,337 --> 01:37:29,591
- How's Hogue?
- Well, he's the same.

1207
01:37:32,260 --> 01:37:35,180
- Melvin?
- Same.

1208
01:37:35,972 --> 01:37:37,265
How's your dad?

1209
01:37:38,766 --> 01:37:41,269
Why don't you ask me about Vialula?

1210
01:37:42,312 --> 01:37:46,441
What's there to ask, really?
I guess she and Hank are...

1211
01:37:46,649 --> 01:37:48,276
You're in my chair.

1212
01:37:50,236 --> 01:37:52,363
Slide a bit, Nancy Lee.

1213
01:37:55,158 --> 01:37:59,954
There's a man in the toilet selling
aftershave. Now, what's that all about?

1214
01:38:01,122 --> 01:38:02,582
Hank.

1215
01:38:04,459 --> 01:38:06,252
What are you doing here?

1216
01:38:06,419 --> 01:38:09,672
Took my own advice, doc.
Knowing when to stay, when to get out.

1217
01:38:10,632 --> 01:38:13,468
I thought you and Lou
were gonna get...

1218
01:38:13,676 --> 01:38:17,889
Lou was never gonna marry me.
So I broke it off, clean.

1219
01:38:19,432 --> 01:38:21,476
You dumped her?

1220
01:38:21,684 --> 01:38:23,895
A man's gotta do
what a man's gotta do...

1221
01:38:24,062 --> 01:38:28,107
even if it's in California.
Sense of higher purpose, you know?

1222
01:38:30,276 --> 01:38:32,153
Is that a star?

1223
01:38:32,362 --> 01:38:35,031
No, that's Ted Danson.

1224
01:38:47,210 --> 01:38:49,754
I'm going for breakfast.
You want anything?

1225
01:38:49,963 --> 01:38:52,257
How about Bob Barker?

1226
01:38:52,465 --> 01:38:54,843
I'll see what I can do.

1227
01:39:03,852 --> 01:39:05,895
Howdy.

1228
01:39:10,358 --> 01:39:12,485
You steal that pig?

1229
01:39:13,403 --> 01:39:16,656
I heard she was wasting away
in this one-pig town, so...

1230
01:39:16,823 --> 01:39:19,075
And you thought you'd come back
and rescue her.

1231
01:39:19,617 --> 01:39:22,287
Yeah. Something like that.

1232
01:39:23,037 --> 01:39:25,415
What makes you think
she'll take you back?

1233
01:39:27,584 --> 01:39:29,127
Because I love her.

1234
01:39:32,964 --> 01:39:35,508
Go back to Los Angeles.

1235
01:39:36,467 --> 01:39:39,137
I don't want Los Angeles.

1236
01:39:39,470 --> 01:39:41,347
I want you.

1237
01:39:51,107 --> 01:39:53,568
You got great tonsils.

1238
01:39:57,113 --> 01:39:58,990
That ain't all.

1239
01:40:00,700 --> 01:40:03,870
I just thought of something.
I can collect that $ 10 from Nicholson.

1240
01:40:04,078 --> 01:40:05,955
- You lost that bet.
- I did not.

1241
01:40:06,122 --> 01:40:07,582
- Who says?
- Me.

1242
01:40:07,790 --> 01:40:12,670
- You have no say. You are the bet.
- The bet was for one week. You lost.

1243
01:40:12,837 --> 01:40:14,297
It's your word against mine.

1244
01:40:14,506 --> 01:40:17,842
You would sully my reputation
for 10 measly dollars?

1245
01:40:18,051 --> 01:40:21,804
Absolutely. I don't even know
what "sully" means.
