I'm gonna take
Saturn's Harvest,
what do you say?
That's kids stuff.
I'll meet you
at the bottom.
Yeah, well, I hope so.
If not, I'm gonna be stuck
with most of the hotel bill.
Yeah, right.
See you later.
[screaming]
You okay?
Yeah.
[groans]
All right,
hold on.
Just don't move.
Hi.
Hi.
[groans]
Let's get that boot off now,
have a look at that ankle.
Are you a doctor?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Honest.
Really?
Marin County
Doctor's Hospital.
I live there.
I'm an intern.
Easy.[groans]
You know,
I'm on the board of director's
at the Doctor's Hospital.
I'm Joanna Bittan.
I'm Casey Wagner.
You're not a doctor,
are you?
No.
Your husband?
My husband's an ex.
He's not a doctor.
I think
it's just a sprain.
There she is.
Probably need
a few X-rays.
Oh, great, the ski patrol
will get you down the mountain.
You still
don't recognize me,
do you?
Last night.
The guacamole?
Oh, it's you.
Sorry.
How could I forget?
Let me help you up.
Oh.
[groans]
Can I give you lift
back to Marin?
Oh, thanks.
I'm with a friend.
And then you're
lying there on the snow
and he's on top of you,
and I'm panting,
and tell me, tell me, then what?
And then nothing.
He just left me there
with the ski patrol guys.
Oh, I don't,
pity you make life
sound so boring.
I'm never bored.
I don't understand you.
You meet
this fantastic guy
and what do you do?
You just limp away.
There was nothing
to limp away from.
Well, at least tell me,
was he cute?
Oh, he was cute.
Very cute.
Very young.
Mm, how young?
Too young.
Oh, what?
Six, eight, ten, what?
No.
The sunny side of 20.
I mean, that's heaven.
Oh, my gosh.
Can imagine to be
all things to one man?
Mistress, mother.Ugh.
No wonder my parents
didn't want me
hanging out with you
in high school.
They were afraid
you might have
a good time.
You might
learn something.
You're terrible.
Terrible.
Stupid, that's the word
I'm looking for, stupid.
I cannot believe
that you did not
get her number, man.
That's some
high class action.
Look, I'm shy, okay?
Look,
he's shy, okay?
That German news
last week--
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The whole staff
knows how shy you are.
That's gossip.
Hey, look, look,
Casey, Casey,
look.
Now, you don't
have to be
discrete with us.
Tell us.
She any good?
She happens to be
a very nice girl,
and I don't want
to continue talking about it,
all right?
He doesn't want to continue
talking about it, all right?
You're so sensitive.
You're so selfish.
Look, I'm sitting
in the front this time.
That's okay, I'm sleeping
in the back on the way home.
Sleep on.
Please, please, please.
Apremio.
Oh, good thing,
you're early.
Morning.
David's gonna come in
at 9:00 and check
the art direction
for the shooting.
And don't forget
to call New York
about the
six foot three model
from Kuwait
who might be pregnant.
Oh.
Then staff
at 10:00, 10:30,
whenever you get done.
Lunch at 12:15
with Mr. Radolf.
Three o'clock
the printers invade us.
Oh, and I had
to change your 5:30
pedicure to Wednesday.
Why?
Because Beasley Chartoff
from the Charity Ball committee
had to change the meeting
at Doctor's Hospital
from tomorrow to tonight,
on account of her husband's
going out of town tomorrow,
and she wants to see
that little Greek guy.
Roseanna.
Well, she didn't
say that exactly,
but we all know
it's the truth.
Stacy Hightower is still running
a low grade fever.
I'm worried about that.
Yes, sir.
Mrs. Palmer has gone
into false labor
for the third time
in two weeks.
Better put her
on the fetal monitors.
Will do, sir.
Nice tan you've got, Wagner.
Been lounging near
the ultraviolet machines?
No, sir, I had
a chance to do
a little skiing.
Ah.
I haven't been able to find
the time to ski in 10 years.
Tell me, did you fly
to Gstaad or make due
with our less illustrious
local accommodations?
I made due, sir.
Call 6075.
Dr. Michael Webber,
call 6075, stat.
Please call 6075.
Hi.
Hi.
I was upstairs
in a board meeting.
Gosh, what
a nice surprise.
I was just leaving.
I'm glad
I bumped into you.
It's nice
to see you again.
Nice to see you again.
I see your ankle's
all better.
Oh, yes, thanks to you,
I'm good for another ski season.
I guess we must have caught
the last of the snow, huh?
So, I was just gonna
go get a bite to eat.
You hungry?
Oh, I couldn't.I mean if you're
not busy or anything.
I couldn't really.
It's okay.
I understand.
No, no, it's just that
I'm not dressed well.
You wouldn't want me
to eat alone, would you?
Yes, Porter, that's right.
Tell him I'm terribly sorry,
it couldn't be helped.
That's right, and
I'm canceling it for tonight.
Yes, my apologies.
Do tell him.
Thank you.
Right.
Thank you, Casey.
Well, the food
should be pretty good here.
Dr. Brinkley eats here a lot.
Does he?
Well, I'm sure
it will be.
It looks
very nice.
Very nice.
Casey, why don't you
let me invite you tonight?
I'd like this
to be my dinner.
What?
No way, Mrs. Bittan.
I invited you.
I'm on the board
at the hospital,
remember?
I know what
we pay interns.
You wouldn't want me
to live with this guilt,
would you?
No.
I can't let you do that.
I'll tell you what.
I'll use it as a tax deduction.
I'll charge it to the hospital.
There'll be some satisfaction
for you in that, won't there?
Getting back at the hospital
for all that terrible food
you eat every day?
Mrs. Bittan, I--
Look...
It's my contribution
to medical science, okay?
And you can call me Joanna.
Gosh, that
was wonderful.
I enjoyed it.
Do you have
a family?
I mean children.
I have one.
A daughter.
She live at home?
She's been
in New York at school
for the last two years.
She's coming back here
to finish college at Berkeley.
Gosh,
Berkeley's terrific.
She must really be
looking forward
to that, huh?
I'm not so sure.
New York has a lot to offer
and she loves the seasons
and of course
her father's there.
She's close
to her father then?
Yes, very close.
I'm thrilled
she's coming back.
I'm scared,
but thrilled.
Good night again.
Joanna...
I'd like to see you again.
That would be nice.
Tomorrow?
I can't, I'm...
I'm giving a party.
Why don't you come?
Sure, it sounds great.
Where?
At my house at 6:00.
It's casual.
Here's my card.
My address is on there.
Joanna...
Good night, Casey.
Thanks again for dinner.
You're welcome.
Well, I'll see you
tomorrow, okay?
Yes.
There you are.
Try this.
Tada!That looks good.
No, not sure
about this one.
What's the matter?
I don't like it.You don't like it?
No.You know, the guys and I
have been talking.
You know what you need?
Total change of image.
Time to change
the image, kid.
And I've got it
for you, guy, right here.
Okay.
This is my friend Maxwell.
Come on. There we go.
It's you.That looks good.
Huh?Yeah.
Hey, I like this.You like that, huh?
$10 rental fee.
Have it back in 24 hours.
If not,
$5 extra for overtime.
It's worth it.Huh?
Thank you ever so much
for you patronage, my friend.
And do call us again.
Tell a friend.
Huh? What can I do for you?
Casual.
She said very casual.
Casual.
You got to be casual
with rich people.
I am so tired.
They booked me
on back to back shifts.
I got two hours sleep
last night.
Yeah?
This is it.That looks good.
Understated,
casual, insouciant,
and just
the slightest bit wicked.
Huh?
Greg, you could sell
locusts to a farmer, how much?
Ten bucks.
Ten bucks?
I thought we were friends.
$7.50.
Never mind.
It's a freebie.
But do me one favor.What?
One stipulation.
No lipstick on the collar.
Oh, that's cute.
Don't touch me.
Out of here.
Say hello for me.
See if she
has any friends.
Make that two.
Two friends.
Rich ones.
Good afternoon,
Mr. and Mrs. Kline.
How nice to see you.
I can't quite
place you, sir.
Oh, I'm Casey Wagner.
Mrs. Bittan
invited me.
I see.
Shall I relieve you
of those blossoms?
These are
for Mrs. Bittan.
I assume so, sir.
I'll be sure
to see she gets them.
I'd sort of
like to give them
to her myself.
If you must.
This way.
Will you excuse me
for moment?
Sure.Sure.
Excuse me.
Casey.Hi.
I'm so glad
you could come.
Oh, well, thanks.
Oh, look,
I brought you these.
Thank you.
How nice.
My, my, my.
What will you
have to drink?
Oh, gosh,
maybe a Cuba Libre.
A what?
That's a rum and cola.
I don't think
we have any,
but we have plenty
of champagne
and there's wine.That's okay.
Maybe I'll just have
a cup of coffee or something.
All right.
Porter.
Porter?
Would you put these
in a vase, please, Porter?
A crystal vase?
Of course, Porter.
I'm terribly sorry,
but would you excuse me?
Because I've got people
I have to attend to.
Sure, that's okay.
I'll be just fine.
There's plenty of food,
so just make yourself
at home.
As soon as
the crowd thins
we can chat.
Oh, no.Good morning.
What happened?
Evidently a little
faux pas, sir.
Oh, good.
You're awake.
I'm sorry, Joanna.
That's all right,
Porter, ask Felice
to make Dr. Wagner
some breakfast.
It's just that I've had
so many emergencies
at the hospital lately
I haven't had a chance to sleep.
Don't worry
about it.
You made an ideal
party guest.
You didn't drink too much
and no boring small talk.
You're joking,
but I'm very embarrassed.
Don't be.
Look,
have breakfast,
take a shower
in the guest room
if you like afterward,
and excuse me,
but I've got to run.
I'll call you later.
It was a lovely party.
Miss Felice wants to know
what you'd like for breakfast.
Oh, that's all right.
I'm not very hungry, thanks.
Eggs Benedict,
waffles,
fresh fruit,
juice, croissant?
Maybe I'll have just
a little something.
I thought
you might, sir.
Perhaps a little
of each?
Yeah, that sounds good.
Dr. Gill Caplan, call 110.
♪ He's so shy
♪ Too late, too late
He looks
the same to me.
What's the matter
with you guys?
Oh, nothing.
Except Mr. Casey
"I'm-So-Shy" Wagner
didn't seem
to make it home
last night, did he?
No, he didn't.
You make it home
last night, Casey?
Goodbye, guys.
The wedding,
is it casual or rich?
There you go.Thank you.
Oh, Phillip.
You're a darling
to arrange those tickets.
I was absolutely fascinated.
I thought you would be.
Spenders of Byzantium.
Like you, Joanna.
Sensual,
luxurious and noble.
Gad, all that?
I think I'm in love.
At the risk
of embarrassing us both,
let me say how much
I wish you meant that.
Phillip, now, don't let spoil a
perfectly beautiful friendship.
I'd be willing
to risk it.
Good night.
Good night.
Dr. Brinkley, please dial--
Case!
Oh, hi, Jer.Hi.
Looking at
the Peter's chart?Yeah.
Do you agree
with Dr. Brinkley's
diagnosis?
I'm not
so sure of that.
We were just
talking about that.
Dr. Wagner, you have a call.
Oh, that's probably
my mother.
I hope nothing's wrong.
Dr. Wagner.
He's terrific.
I love him.
Hi.
Gosh, I'm glad.
I had no idea
what to send you.
I was just absolutely sure
you didn't need more flowers.
You're right.
Well, to reciprocate,
I thought I'd do
another selfless deed
for medical science.
Oh, really?
What's that?
Well, obviously
you're in need of some
rest and relaxation.
If you could manage
tomorrow off, how about
a day by the pool
sort of stretched out
in the sun,
just laze around?
If you promise to wear a bikini.
Let's just hope
that's not his mother.
Gosh, this is terrific.
How did you manage
to get today off?
Oh, I switched shifts
with a buddy.
Excuse me, Mrs. Bittan.
Miss Felice needs to know what
Dr. Wagner wishes to drink.
Oh, gosh, I don't know.
We have everything,
juice, beer, wine.
We also have milk, sir.
Well, you may think
that's funny,
but that's exactly
what I'd like.
I nice cold glass
of milk, please.
JOANNE: Thank you, Porter.
You know, you never told me
what line of medicine you're in.
Cardiology.
Heart surgery.
Fixing broken hearts?
Yeah, sort of.
So, what about you?
Did all this belong
to your family?
My family?
No.
I over achieved this
all by myself.
I was brought up to think
that if a girl was a good,
dutiful daughter and a kind
loving mother and wife,
well, she'd just
automatically
be taken care of.
Well, wrong.
After the divorce and
the shell shock wore off,
I realized I was actually
going to have to be
responsible for myself.
Horrors.
I wasn't prepared
to do anything.
So I came up with this idea
for a gift catalog business
and voila.
Are you comfortable?
Yeah, I'm terrific, thanks.
Are you very comfortable?
If I was any more comfortable,
I'd be asleep.
Mr. Norman to see you, ma'am.
I rang you on the intercom,
but there was no answer.
Thank you, Porter.
Hello, Phillip.
You left these
in the car.
Thank you.
Oh, this is
Dr. Casey Wagner.
Phillip Norman.
How do you do, sir?
Pleasure.
Well, I guess
I'll be going.
I'll be right back.
Phillip!
Stay and have
a drink with us?
Let's not play games, Joanna.
Look...
I have no claims on you,
although you know damn well
I wish I did.
I can't compete
with a young kid.
Take care.
I'm sorry.
Let's be friends.
Friends.
Keep in touch.
Thank you.
I'm sorry
if I messed things up.
You didn't
mess anything up.
Seemed like
more than a friend.
Not to me.
I'm glad.
Casey, I'm not sure
this is right.
I am.
Let's think about it.
If you need to.I do.
Oh, it's cold.
Oh, darling,
I want it hot.
What?And I want it raw.
First of all,
tell me all about
his body.
Well, he keeps in shape.
All right, so,
you're in the pool
with this
gorgeous body.
Now, don't spare
any details.
Tell me it all.We had a fabulous time.
I mean, he's divine.
Those are the details?
I don't call those details.
Well, you don't tell me
about your sex life
with Alex.
Honey, there ain't
nothing to tell.
I'm sorry.
So am I.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Hi.
Did I wake you?
No, not at all.
So, how was the play?
Overrated, but fun.
I'll bet you thought about me
the whole time, didn't you?
Mm, not even once.
Wait a minute,
what did you say your name was?
Well, I thought about you a lot.
Not even once?
Maybe once, twice.
I'd like to come over there.
Now?
Please?
I just need to talk to you.
Casey, I don't know.
Joanna, we'll just talk,
I promise.
I don't know.
I want to see you.
Please?
[noise at window]
I'll be right down.
Hi.Hi.
Gosh, you look beautiful.
I thought
you wanted to talk.
I do.
Would you just
hold me, please?
Just hold me.
Can I help you with something?
Yeah, my name's Casey Wagner,
I'm here to see Joanna Bittan.
Do you have an appointment?
No.
May I ask what
this is regarding?
Well, tell her it's,
tell her it's regarding
a walk on the beach.
Hmm.
You ready?Mm-hmm.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Okay.Okay.
On your marks...
get set...
Hey, wait a minute!
That's not fair.[laughs]
Come on, slow poke.
You're making me look good.
Come on!
Gosh, I love you.
I hope you don't
mind me saying that.
No, I...
I love the way
your eyes smile.
Well, it's because of you.
Hey, listen,
I got tomorrow off.
You do?
Oh, Casey,
I have about
a dozen workmen
coming at 7:00 a.m.
that I decided
to redo Pam's room
at the last minute.
But why don't you
spend the night
and then sort of
hang out by
the pool tomorrow?
Oh, if you're busy,
I got a million
things to do.
Yeah, like what?
Like go to the cleaners,
like do the laundry,
go to the grocery store.
Sounds terrific.
I have a better idea.
Why don't we go
by the hospital
and I'll pick up
whatever it is
you need washed
and Porter will run
your errands tomorrow?
I can't impose
on you like that.
Why not?
It's not an imposition.
Well, because, I...
I don't know.
I guess I'm just
not used to letting people
do things for me.
So, what are you giving up,
going to the laundry?
I don't know, you meet a lot
of nice people at the laundry.
That's what
I'm afraid of.
Dr. Raider, stat.
Page MICU, stat.
Page Dr. Raider,
MICU immediately.
Hey, Casey.
Oh, hi, guys.
What's going on?
Oh, well, we were
talking about tonight.
We're gonna...
I'm Warren.
Joanna.
I'm Max.Max.
I'm sorry.
This is Greg.
Greg.Gregory.
Gregory.
We were all going bowling
down at Barstow Lanes,
would you like to come?
Well, I...
Do you bowl, ma'am?
I've never been bowling.
Look, guys, it sounds
like a lot of fun,
but we really
have to be going.
Have a good time,
huh?
Bye bye.
Nice to meet you.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Yeah, but you know,
it's the right place
at the right time.
She's beautiful.I think I'm in love.
I know I'm in love.

The photographer
is certifiably insane,
and we are featuring
some wild accessories.
Hammered brass,
banana leaves
and stuff like that.
The models are all done up
like jungle queens.
Who thinks
of all this stuff?
Some lunatic.
Usually me.
Come on over here,
away from the heater.
Come on.
Get the things off.
David!
Oh!
You made it.
I did.
Hi, darling.
It's freezing.
How are those girls
gonna manage?
It's what
they're paid for,
darling.
How cruel.
David, this is Casey.
How do you do?
Are you a model?
No.
I am shocked
I didn't think
of this before.
Joanna, we need
a guy in this shot.
The clean cut preppy type played
against this harem of savages.
We got to try it.
What do you think?
This is beautiful,
but I love it.
If you want to.
Denise!What?
Oh, Denise.
Get this guy
into something.
Into what?
Something.
Something.
Something
preppy, preppy.
Preppy.
Now, girls,
girls.
All right,
step aside.
Make room for him.
Now think warm, honey.
This is the tropics.
I mean, you know,
warm days, hot nights.
Terrific.
Okay, now, look down.
Now, look up.
This is really hot.
Joanna,
I didn't know
you smoked.
Now, hold her closer.
I don't.Hold her closer.
Yes! Yes, that's right.
Let me, now, think, yeah.
Terrific, you know
what to think of, don't you?
Okay.
Now, Casey, grab her
so she's about to fall over.
No, no, really grab her.
I want to see raw power here.
Yes! Yes!
Oh, terrific.
Thank you.
Thank you, David, thank you.
Bye bye.
See you.
Thanks very much.
See you later.
Bye bye.
Can't believe I made
300 bucks in one day.
Well, maybe you should
change professions.
Joanna, what is it,
you annoyed
about something?
I'm not annoyed.
I'm cold.
You're jealous.
That's absurd.
You're jealous.
Come on, admit it.
Maybe a little.
That is terrific.
Hey, guys,
where's Wagner?
He's busy.
He's a busy man.
Yeah.
That's what I hear.
Well, I haven't
seen Casey around
in a long time.
You know romance.
You know, I never thought
Casey was the type.
What type's that?
Well, you know, I know Casey
likes to have a good time.
But I also know that Casey
didn't grow up with much
by the way of material things.
And I also know that he didn't--
Look, I know you ought
to shut your mouth right now
before I put my fist in it.
Jerry, tell me...
do you wear underwear?
Very funny.
Just curious.
I gotta
get back to work.
Oh, you gonna
finish your pie?
No.
Oh.
Sure know how
to clear a table.
Are you gonna finish
your watermelon?
I can't eat all this.
Cover for me,
I'm gonna be a little late.
I'll eat quick.
I can't believe
it's 2:00 a.m.
I go on duty
in five hours.
Stay the night.
I'll get up at dawn.
I'll make breakfast.
I can't.
I don't even have
a change of clothes.
And I gotta
pick up some papers
before I go on duty.
I have an idea,
Casey.
Which is what?
Come live with me.
Are you serious?
Mm-hmm.
Come on, I can't do that.
Think about it.
Well, what about people?
I mean,
what are they gonna say?
They'll get used
to the idea.
Will you look at these clothes?
Italy, huh?
You should have
these things insured.
I hope you aren't
thinking of starting
a rival clothing
rental business
there, Wagner.
Wagner?
Earth to Casey.
Come in, please.
Greg, I scored big
at Asteroids last night.
Twelve bucks off of Max.
Ready to beat your butt.
Oh, yeah?
You happen to be
talking to the king
of the smooth moves.
Oh, I happen to be talking?
What's with
the ghetto jive, blood?
You be from Beverly Hills.
That was a cute date
you had last night.
Thank you?Uh-huh.
Reminded me of my dog.
Blow it out your nose.
GREG: Tell me something,
did you have to walk her
this morning
or didn't you score?
WARREN: [laughs]
Hey, watch yourself now.
Give me one.
Just give me one.
GREG: You want one?
Okay, okay.
Wait, wait, wait.
Just a handful.
Okay, okay, okay.
Truce, truce?
Truce.
Good afternoon,
Dr. Wagner.
Oh, hi, Porter.
May I get you
a drink, sir?
No, thanks.
I'll get it myself.
You what?
Oh, Mom, we went dancing.
Terrific.Drank champagne.
Oh, sounds wonder--
Dad bought me
a pair of earrings.
He did? Did he really?
He bought you that?
Uh-huh.
He has fabulous taste.
He does.I know he, we know he does.
They're really beautiful.
When are you coming?
Monday.Monday?
Yeah.
Oh, darling, that's...
That's fabulous.
Do you have plans
for Monday or something?
No, no, I didn't have
anything planned.
I just want to be sure
your room is ready.
Great.
I'm so happy you're coming.
So, what's new with you now?
Nothing's new with me.
Oh, just a few minor changes.
Oh? Like what?
We'll talk about it
when you get here.
Okay.
Gotta run.
Safe trip.
Bye, Mom.
Bye, darling.
Darling?
Maybe you should
hop in the shower.
I'm afraid
we'll be late.
Okay, I'm going.
Well, Joanna's the one who's--
I'm just learning.
Well, we're so happy you could
join us this evening.
Oh, we're very pleased
to be here.
I must say,
your house is exquisite.
But having met you,
I expected as much.
Tell me, Doctor, have you found
any hearts of gold lately?
[laughs]
Unfortunately, no.
And no blue blood, either.
[laughs]
Oh, great,
Porter, thanks.
Sweetheart?Mm-hmm.
Well, I guess they ought to be
through with breakfast by now.
Mm-hmm.
I'll give 'em a try.
[phone ringing]
Oh, I'll get it.
Hey.
Hello?Hi, Dad.
Hi, kid.
Hey, listen, what kind of
a crazy schedule are you on?
We've been calling you
day and night.
We never seem to get you in.
Are you at the hospital?
Yeah, yeah.
I just came on duty.
Yeah, I'm at the emergency room.
No, no, not too busy.
Listen, your mother and I have a
little surprise planned for you.
We're gonna have it delivered
around noon on your birthday.
Are you gonna be there?
Yeah, sure,
I'll make a point to.
Oh, that's good.
So, tell me, what's going on?
Oh, I'm doing just fine,
I've been really busy, though.
How's Mom?
She's great.
She's right here.
She sends her love.
Dad, listen,
it just got real crazy in here.
Can I call you next week?
Well, okay. Okay.
Talk to you later then.
I'll talk to you soon.
Bye, be good.
Got busy all of a sudden.
Why did you lie to them?
You haven't told them yet,
have you?
[sighs]
I know.
Have you told Pam yet?
You know I haven't.
I really appreciate you
letting me crash here, Casey.
Well, I'm not
using it anyway.
Hey, any sister
of Greg's
is a friend of mine.
Aw.
Look, here's the number
and address in case
of an emergency.
And I'm expecting
a package about
noon tomorrow.
I appreciate
you giving me a call
when it gets here?
Well, if I'm not in
just leave a message
or something.
Will do.
Okay.Okay.
Thanks again, Casey.
[laughter]
Okay.
Okay,
which one is this?
Domaine Chandon.
Great,
Champagne!
And after this,
two more.
Two more?Yeah.
Oh, god.
You know, I haven't been
tipsy in the afternoon since...
since my wedding.
Oh, let me handle this.Unh-unh.
No, it's
your birthday.
Joanna, every day
is my birthday with you.
Look, I just feel funny about
you always paying for things.
I love you.
Then let me pay
for the check, okay?
But, darling,
it doesn't matter
who pays.
I pay now,
you'll pay
some other time.
Well, good,
if it doesn't matter,
then let me do it, all right?
Okay.
Okay, okay,
if it makes you
feel better.
It does.
Casey?
Casey!Shh.
Hi!
Are you delivering
something for Casey?
What about the presents?
No, let's
wait a minute.
Honey,
that's bad,
isn't it?
[doorbell rings]
May I be of assistance?
Well,
I'm Burt Wagner.
Casey Wagner's
father.
They said
at the hospital
he'd be here.
Dr. Wagner is not at home.
He's not at home?
But, you may wait inside
for him if you please.
Well?
I can't believe this.
Do you like it?
Darling, what is it?
It's my parents' car.
Mom?
Dad?
Hey, Dad.
Hey.
Happy birthday.
Hi, Dad.
There was a girl
in your room
at the hospital.
She said we'd
find you here.
Oh, that's Michelle,
that's Gregory's sister.
Well, she just needed a place
to stay for a while and,
well, I thought that--
Who's house is this?
Mrs. Wagner, Mr. Wagner,
how are you?
I'm Joanna Bittan.
I'm delighted
to meet you,
and well,
isn't this lovely
that we can all
be together today
on Casey's birthday?
And what
perfect timing.
We have
dinner reservations
in an hour,
and you must
join us.
Oh, no,
I don't think so.
I insist.
Well, I...
Good.
I'm just going
to run upstairs
and change.
I'll only
be a minute.
Darling, see that
your parents have
something to drink,
will you?Sure.
Well, you want
something to drink?
Huh?No.
No.
No, I don't.
Well, I better get changed.
I'll be back in two seconds.
Well, has anyone
decided yet?
You told me
on the phone you
had to work today.
Oh, I did.
Well, I just traded shifts
with a buddy at the last minute.
Oh.
Huh, well, while you decide,
I'll just go
into the ladies room.
Excuse me.
Probably was wrong of us
to just burst in on you
like that.
You know,
your mother and I
hoped to surprise you
for your birthday
by giving you
our old car.
We finally decided
to get a new one.
Mom, it's great, really.
Yeah, you don't really
need a car now, do you?
Look, I'm sorry you had
to find out like this.
I wanted to tell you,
I just didn't want to do it
over the telephone.
Did she buy that suit for you?
It was a gift.
Yeah.
I'm sure it was.
You have really
disappointed me, Casey.
Really.
Dad, it's not what you think.
That's just what
I've been praying.
Ever since I saw that
fancy car in the driveway,
that's what I've been
hoping and praying.
Well, there's no fool
like an old fool, is there?
Let's get out of here.
Dad, listen to me.
Dad, would you
listen to me, Dad?Oh.
Mom, please talk to him.
I'm sorry, Casey.
I'm sorry.
Casey?
What can I do?
Nothing.
They'll get over it.
Perhaps in time.
You know, Joanna,
I think we should
tell Pamela.
Let's not make
the same mistake twice.
You're right.
W-A-G-N-E-R, right?
Yes, that's right.
Strange, I don't
see any account
in this name.
Oh, I'm sorry,
she was supposed to call.
The charge goes
to Mrs. Joanna Bittan.
Oh, Mrs. Bittan.
I sometimes fit
the daughter.
And often
Mr. Curtis, her--
Her ex-husband.
Oh,
are you her...
Boyfriend.
I am Mrs. Bittan's
boyfriend.
Oh.
Looks like a dedicated
doctor's assistant.
Look at him.
Whew, boy.[whistling]
Hello?
You are one
of the beautiful people.
All right, guys, what's up?
Hey, well, if it isn't
our celebrity intern now.
What?
Can I have
your autograph,
macho face?
Oh, that.
What some people
won't do for money.
Hey, look,
you're gonna be
wanting to watch
your boot from now on,
you know.Hey, hey.
Is it true you only
operate in designer
surgical gowns?
Yeah, that's very funny.
Are you serious
about this thing?
Are you serious about it?
Hey, you're a pretty
good-looking guy, you know.
We were thinking maybe,
you know, we could be
three doctors
in the operating room.
GREG: Surf's up, baby.
WARREN: Hey, listen,
what do you think,
couple of nurses,
we could really do it?
I tried to call Pam today.
No luck.
She's up in the mountains
on a camping trip.
Means I won't be able
to talk to her
till she gets here
on Monday.
That's too bad.
Casey, what is it?
You've been
so quiet
all evening.
I'm fine.
I'm just thinking.
About what?
I don't know,
the guys at the hospital
have been giving me
a hard time.
I guess they're jealous.
I don't know,
maybe I should
stop driving
the new car
to the hospital.
Maybe I ought
to go back
to wearing blue jeans.
I have an idea.
Why don't we
invite them over?
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Have a barbeque out by the pool,
it would be great.
Joanna, it'll never work.
Why won't it work?
Darling, you can't give up
your life and your friends
just to be with me
or we can't work.
I don't know.
Are you embarrassed
of our relationship?
That's ridiculous.
I just want you to be happy.
Well, great.
Then let's have a party.
Let's have a party.
You better
keep your eyes
on Casey tonight.
Why?
Well, the last time
we had a pool party
he sort of overdid it.
He was dating Lisa
at the time.
Casey must have
drank a whole
tub of Sangria.
He climbed up
their flag pole.
Then he took
his clothes off.
He's such a sucker
for a tear.
[laughs]
Oh, but, well,
that was ages ago,
really.
Last summer,
for sure.
Warren!
Come on, get out of there!
I'm gonna go grab
some towels, all right?
Joanna?
Joanna, wait!
Where are you going?I'll be back.
So you had a rude awakening.
I mean, I've had plenty of 'em
in all my relationships.
But don't you see,
I mean, the highlight
of their evening
was throwing themselves
in the pool
with their clothes on.
If I understand you correctly,
what you're saying
is that you realized last night
that Casey is young?
Yes.And that's news?
Well, I haven't seen
that side of him.
I mean, around me
he's so mature.
Darling, just relax,
take it easy.
For all you know,
next time
you'll throw yourself
in the pool.
And with no clothes on.
Bad.Good.
I told you bad's good.
Do you like these?I love them.
[phone ringing]
Wagner's?
Hi, Benny, it's Casey.
Is my dad there?
Oh, yeah.
Just a minute.
I'll see.
It's Casey again.
I'm sorry, Casey.
He just stepped out.
Yeah, sure, Benny.
Well, ask him to call me,
would you?
Yeah. Sure.
Yeah, I'll make sure
he calls you.
Bye.
That doesn't
look too good.
Look, here's the
hairline fracture
right there.
Lower humerus
and the left elbow,
and there's
another angle.
Sure, notice how it
just branches from there
right down to there?
Dr. Wagner?
Dr. Casey Wagner?
I'm gonna show these
to Dr. Brinkley.
Hello?
Hi, how are you?
Great, how about you?
Well, how's Dad?
He's fine.
He's fine.
Listen, I'm calling
'cause Aunt Minnie's
gonna have a picnic on Sunday.
I thought maybe
you'd try to make it down.
Sure, yeah, I'd love to.
Just let me check
with Joanna, okay?
Casey?
I think it'd better
if you came alone.
I think you need the time
with your father.
Well, you really think
that's gonna do any good?
Honey, it's just that he's so,
he's so hurt.
Well, what about me, Mom?
How does he think I feel?
Look, why don't you just
put him on the phone?
I want to ask him myself.
Well, he's not home.
He won't talk to me, will he?
That's why I feel
you should come down
and see each other face to face.
Okay, Mom.
I'll see what I can do,
all right?
I'll let you know.
Okay.
Okay, thanks.
Bye.
Yeah.
All right.
Bye bye.
[knocking]
Casey,
what are you doing here?
I'm on my way to the airport.
Why?
I talked to my mom.
My dad still won't speak to me.
I just want to go down there and
try and straighten things out.
Darling,
you're on duty tomorrow night.
I know.
I'll be back in time.
Joanna.
God, I'm embarrassed
to ask you this.
I need to borrow 100 bucks
for plane fare.
Of course.
I'm sorry.
I'm broke.
Casey, don't worry
about it, okay?
I just hate to ask you.
Casey, don't be silly.
I'll pay you back at the end
of the month, I promise.
Please don't worry about it.
Let's not talk about it.
Take it.
Thanks.
Casey, don't be so stubborn,
go on up and take a nap.
Mom, it's quarter of 6:00.
Shouldn't he be here by now?
Yeah, Benny's bringing him home.
Maybe they stopped for a beer.
Ah, no, here he is.
Hi, Dad.
I don't think
you should have come here.
Well, I think we should talk.
I don't think
there's anything to say.
I'm just glad my father's
not alive, that's all.
What the hell
is that supposed to mean?
That's not what he means.
It's just he's upset
about your friend.
My friend what?
Well, she's almost
as old as I am.
So what difference
does that make?
What does age
have to do with anything?
Well, it's not the age, it's...
It's what?
Well, you know
what it looks like.
No, I don't know, Mom,
so, why don't you tell me?
What it looks like is that
you've lost your self respect.
It looks like you're a gigolo.
I can't believe you think that.
Well, she's paying
for you, isn't she?
And in return you
tend to her needs.
Isn't that why
you're living
at her house?
I love Joanna,
and that is why
I live at her house.
Don't you know me at all?
Hello? I'm your son.
The one who quit
the football team in high school
because he wanted to go to work
to pay his way to college.
The one who kept
winning scholarships.
The one who worked his way
through medical school.
Look, I spent the first
23 years of my life
working so hard just
to make you proud of me.
But I got to spend
the next 23 years
living it
to your specifications?
Dad, you won't return
my phone calls
because you think
I'm a gigolo?
Casey, you can't change
the truth.
She's paid for you.
You're kept.
Casey!
Hi, darling.
When I heard
the car pull up,
I thought it was Pam.
How did it go
with your father?
Not great.
I'm sorry, baby.
I'm so sorry.
Do you want
to tell me about it?
Let's save it
for later, okay?
Okay.
You look exhausted.
Why don't you
go upstairs and sleep?
I don't think it's
such a good idea
for Pamela
to come home
and find some guy
in her mother's bed.
I'm just gonna grab
my swimming suit
and maybe try
and catch a nap
by the pool.
You two should be
alone for awhile.
Thank you.
Thank you.
PAMELA: Felice!
Pamela.Hi.
Let me help you, darling.Thank you.
Hello, Porter.
Baby, welcome home.
Hi, Joanna.
Hi, Darling.
Gosh, it's good to see you.
You look so pretty.
Come on in, let me show you
what I've done to your room.
Okay.
Well?
Well?
The house looks great.
Well, naturally.
Pammy?
I wanted to talk to you
about something.
I tried to call you in New York,
but you'd already gone up
to the mountains.
Nothing too drastic, I hope.
Yes and no.
Joanna, there's
a young man
out by the pool.
That's what I wanted to talk
to you about, Pammy.
Mother, why do you always
do this to me?
Every time I come home
you're trying to fix me up
with a friend's kid.
The day I come home?
Do we get engaged
before or after I unpack?
He's not here for you, Pam.
Oh, well, then,
who is he, Mother?
What's he doing here?
He lives here.
Pamela?
Hi.
Is Casey all right, or should
I call you step-father?
Casey will do just fine.
I sort of spied you
out the window,
and then Joanna
lowered the boom.
Needless to say,
I was taken aback.
Pamela, your mother's been
very worried about telling you.
She tried to call you last week.
Yes, I know.
So...
I trust you're all settled in?
Noticed a great sports car
out front.
It's yours, I take it?
Yes.
Present from Joanna?
Yeah, for my birthday.
Pamela.
Look, I know exactly
how you feel.
How could you possibly?
Good morning, darling.
Good morning, Felice.Good morning.
Good morning.
Where's our medical staff
this morning?
Casey left at dawn.
He has
a morning shift.
Pamela?
Do you think
we ought
to talk about it?
What's there to say?
You're happy.
Pammy.
Do you know what you're doing?
I mean, really.
No. I don't suppose I do.
We didn't mean it to happen.
It just happened.
We fell in love.
Well, just what is love to you?
It's what I feel.
Give him a chance.
He's really very nice.
Well, if you like him, Mother,
shouldn't that be enough?
I got to go meet Cassie.
[door knocking]
Come in.
Wagner?
Yes, sir.
You gave me the wrong data
for Mrs. Churnek.
I nearly removed her tonsils.
Sir?
Here, you gave me the file
of Miss Arlene Churville,
age five.
I can't
believe this, sir,
I'm sorry.
Sit down.
What's up with you
lately, doctor?
I suppose I'm having problems
in my personal life, sir.
Hmm.
An intern cannot afford
a personal life
if it interferes with his duty.
Our work here cannot adjust
to a frivolous mistake.
Do I make myself clear?
As always, sir.
Let me give you
a word of advice.
If you can't fix it,
get rid of it.
Yes, sir.
Wonderful.
Hi, Carol.
You forgot the programs.
Oh, sit,
I'll take care of it.
How many?
Three.
Let me give you some money.
No, I got it.
Be right back.
Well?
$5 a piece?
Casey!
Hey, Case.Hi.
Don't you look sharp.
He looks like a waiter.
I didn't know
you liked the ballet.
Oh, I'm not sure if I do,
I've never been.
Where are you sitting?
Third row.
Third row?
I can't believe it.
I waited in line for five hours
before the box office opened
on the first day of sales
and we're up in the boondocks.
Great.
We're getting
together afterwards
at the Moon Club
for some
serious dancing,
you want to come?
Hey, it sounds great, but I--
I know, don't tell me,
formal dinner, right?
Enjoy the ballet.
See you later.
This form is called
a "pas de deux."
I know that.
Why do you always assume
I'm ignorant of these things?
I'm sorry, Casey.
Forgive me?
Chenko.
Did you see
that body?
Fantastic the way
he filled out
a pair of tights.
I mean, the grace,
the elegance,
those leaps.
Staggering.
Frank even managed
to stay awake.
Marginally.
I don't
believe that.
There's Henny Brandywine.
[gasps]
Sunshine.
Oh, my.
Looks like
a resurrection.
You got a wicked glow.
Look who's behind.
The Shadow.
The Shadow.
Look who's there.
Well, I declare
you look like a movie star.
Oh, so do you,
darling.
Hello, dear.
Oh, Sybil.
It's been too long.
It has.
I'd like you to meet
my friend Casey Wagner.
Your friend?
How nice.
How do you do?
Casey, I'd like
to have you meet my friend,
Grainger Morrison.Pleasure.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you, darling.
My Grainger's a quick draw.
You know they say smoking's bad
for your sex life, darling.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear
you're having trouble, dear.
Oh, touche,
Henny, touche.
[applause]
I'll meet you
in the lobby, okay?
Boring, isn't it?
Gotta stay sober, too,
or I can't do my duty
by old Henny.
Oh, you'd be surprised
at the hot blood pumping
through that old broad.
How about yours?
My what?
Your patroness, Joanna.
She looks like
one very hot lady.
[grunts]
Come on,
we have to get
out of here.
Excuse me, folks,
Joanna's had a slight
problem at home.
It's nothing serious,
we just can't
make the party.
Excuse us.Joanna, is it something
about Pamela?
I hit Grainger Morrison.What? Why?
Because he said
something I didn't like,
all right?
I don't believe it.
What did he say?
What difference
does it make?
For God's sake, Casey.
Couldn't you behave
like a gentleman?
Joanna, I am not
a gentleman right now.
I'm an angry kid.
Now, let's go.
Where are we going?
Dancing.Dancing?
Don't they know this is
doctor's night at the Moon Club?
Really.
Why doesn't anybody
come over to me yet?
Here you go.Thank you.
Thank you.
You can put it on my tab.
Casey Wagner.
He's just joking.Warren Frankstein.
Dr. Frankstein.
Paging Dr. Warren Frankstein.
You came!
Hey.Hey.
Hey, what happened
to your party?
Oh, nothing, we just thought
it'd be more fun here with you.
Well, let's get to it, boys.
Like to dance?What?
Would you
like to dance?
Oh, no, thank you.
I'm just gonna watch for awhile.
You want a drink?
No, thanks.
Hi, how are you doing?
Hi.
You like to dance?
Yeah, sometimes.
Yeah?
Mrs. Bittan.
Hi, sweetheart.
What are you doing here?
I, how are you, Wanda?
I suppose you could say
I'm partying.
Did you come
with Pam and Kathy?
No. Why?
Oh, well,
I'm sure they're
around here somewhere.
I guess I'll just
go find them.
Well, should we go home?
Sure.
Joanna?
I'm tired, Casey.
I don't want to talk.
We'll talk tomorrow.
I work a double shift tomorrow.
The day after
tomorrow then.
Joanna?
Yes?
Forget it.
Hi.
I was working my way over
to you at the Moon Club.
I saw you run out of there
like two bats out of hell.
What happened?
You two have a fight?
You really think
I'd give you the satisfaction
of telling you if we did?
Oh, ho, venom.
Look, why are you giving me
such a hard time?
I live here, you live here,
what's the point?
The point is, doctor,
that I care about my mother.
Oh, and I don't?
Well, maybe you do today.
What about 10 years from now?
In 10 years you're gonna be
at the prime of your life
and my mother is gonna be
well past hers.
She'll have lines, sags.
You can only keep up
this youth business for so long,
you know.
She's not gonna wanna run
to the Moon Club with you
and your friends at your whim.
I don't see what worrying
about 10 years from now
has to do with anything.
Do you want a family
10, 20 years down the line?
Joanna can't give you that.
She's already had her family.
You're gonna live your life
in hostility and resentment.
And you're gonna grow
to hate Joanna
for something that
she has no control of.
For aging.
Pleasant dreams.
[intercom buzzes]
Yes, Roseanna?
Your ex-husband's on the line.
Thank you.
Hello, Curtis.
Pamela didn't tell me
you were coming to town.
She doesn't know.
I wanted to see you first.
Can we meet for a drink?
Sure, I'd love to.
Where and when?
Ready for
my other drink.
I have never
seen a Pina Colada
sit in front
of you intact
for more than
45 seconds.
Now,
what's wrong?
It's Pam.
It's just not working out.
I know
she came out here
meaning well.
Until she met Casey.
Oh.
Between him
and Pam and Casey,
Casey's friends and me
and Casey and my friends,
I feel like shredded wheat.
Maybe you could ask him
to move out temporarily.
Just for a few weeks
until things settle down.
I can't do that.
Why?
I'm afraid if I did,
it would end.
Well, if it would
maybe it should then.
No, no, I'm fine.
I'll find something.
Just have a nice dinner
with Curtis and Pam,
and I'll see you at home later.
Okay, bye.
PAM: This is just
where I felt like having dinner.
CURTIS: Good.
PAM: I'm glad you didn't tell us
where we were going.
I love surprises.
Well, I know
you and your mother
are addicted
to soft-shelled crabs.
Must be something in your genes.
Darling, I'm gonna call
and see if Casey's back yet.
I'll be right back.
Is Casey so horrible?
No.
He's a nice guy.
So?
So?
I don't think that
it's a love match.
I think they're
just infatuated.
Is that really your affair?
It seems you're trying
to upset their relationship.
Come on, Daddy, how could I
if they were really in love?
I will admit that I've slung
a few verbal arrows,
but big deal.
I think Mother's problem
is that she's never met anyone
who compares to you.
You're different, Daddy.
You're worldly
and sophisticated and--
Stop it, Pamela.
You're nursing a fantasy.
I love your mother, but I'm not
in love with her anymore.
You're just saying that.
No, I'm not.
And you have to let go.
Your mother's suffering.
Why don't you concentrate
your energies where they belong?
Into your relationship with her.
Now that's obviously
in need of attention.
Pamela?
What can I say?
You're right.
I love her.
Don't tell me, tell her.
You girls can wait here,
I'll get the car.
Mom?
Yes, dear?
Oh, thank you.
I forgot.
Thank you, Pam.
Mom?
Yes, love?
I love you.
Pammy.
Pam.
If you knew
how long I waited
to hear you say that...
And if Casey makes you happy,
then I'll try to be nice.
I just missed you so much.
I missed you, too, baby.
[door opens]
[door closes]
Hi, stranger.
Hi.
How come
you're still up?
I wasn't sleepy.
You have fun?Yeah.
Shot pool,
played pinball.
Got a little drunk.
Are you tired?
Not especially.
Why?
Can we talk, Casey?
Sure.
What is it?
What's wrong?
It can't work with us.
It can't work with us.
What are you
talking about?
It can work.
How?
In a vacuum?
By pretending people
around us don't exist?
It's a fantasy.
What do you mean,
a fantasy?
This is real to me.
I don't
understand you.
I don't even know
what's happening
right now.
I love you, Joanna.
I love you, too.
It's just not enough.
It's enough for me.
For now.
What about years from now?
I'll be 64, Casey,
when you're my age.
Will you love me then?
Will you?
Of course.
No you won't.
You'll feel restless.
And I'll feel...
I'll feel old.
So, love counts for nothing?
No.
No.
I'll always love you.
You know I'm right,
don't you?
Casey?
Take care of yourself.
Thanks.

Saturn's Harvest,
what do you say?
That's kids stuff.
I'll meet you
at the bottom.
Yeah, well, I hope so.
If not, I'm gonna be stuck
with most of the hotel bill.
Yeah, right.
See you later.
[screaming]
You okay?
Yeah.
[groans]
All right,
hold on.
Just don't move.
Hi.
Hi.
[groans]
Let's get that boot off now,
have a look at that ankle.
Are you a doctor?
Yeah.
Yeah?
Honest.
Really?
Marin County
Doctor's Hospital.
I live there.
I'm an intern.
Easy.[groans]
You know,
I'm on the board of director's
at the Doctor's Hospital.
I'm Joanna Bittan.
I'm Casey Wagner.
You're not a doctor,
are you?
No.
Your husband?
My husband's an ex.
He's not a doctor.
I think
it's just a sprain.
There she is.
Probably need
a few X-rays.
Oh, great, the ski patrol
will get you down the mountain.
You still
don't recognize me,
do you?
Last night.
The guacamole?
Oh, it's you.
Sorry.
How could I forget?
Let me help you up.
Oh.
[groans]
Can I give you lift
back to Marin?
Oh, thanks.
I'm with a friend.
And then you're
lying there on the snow
and he's on top of you,
and I'm panting,
and tell me, tell me, then what?
And then nothing.
He just left me there
with the ski patrol guys.
Oh, I don't,
pity you make life
sound so boring.
I'm never bored.
I don't understand you.
You meet
this fantastic guy
and what do you do?
You just limp away.
There was nothing
to limp away from.
Well, at least tell me,
was he cute?
Oh, he was cute.
Very cute.
Very young.
Mm, how young?
Too young.
Oh, what?
Six, eight, ten, what?
No.
The sunny side of 20.
I mean, that's heaven.
Oh, my gosh.
Can imagine to be
all things to one man?
Mistress, mother.Ugh.
No wonder my parents
didn't want me
hanging out with you
in high school.
They were afraid
you might have
a good time.
You might
learn something.
You're terrible.
Terrible.
Stupid, that's the word
I'm looking for, stupid.
I cannot believe
that you did not
get her number, man.
That's some
high class action.
Look, I'm shy, okay?
Look,
he's shy, okay?
That German news
last week--
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The whole staff
knows how shy you are.
That's gossip.
Hey, look, look,
Casey, Casey,
look.
Now, you don't
have to be
discrete with us.
Tell us.
She any good?
She happens to be
a very nice girl,
and I don't want
to continue talking about it,
all right?
He doesn't want to continue
talking about it, all right?
You're so sensitive.
You're so selfish.
Look, I'm sitting
in the front this time.
That's okay, I'm sleeping
in the back on the way home.
Sleep on.
Please, please, please.
Apremio.
Oh, good thing,
you're early.
Morning.
David's gonna come in
at 9:00 and check
the art direction
for the shooting.
And don't forget
to call New York
about the
six foot three model
from Kuwait
who might be pregnant.
Oh.
Then staff
at 10:00, 10:30,
whenever you get done.
Lunch at 12:15
with Mr. Radolf.
Three o'clock
the printers invade us.
Oh, and I had
to change your 5:30
pedicure to Wednesday.
Why?
Because Beasley Chartoff
from the Charity Ball committee
had to change the meeting
at Doctor's Hospital
from tomorrow to tonight,
on account of her husband's
going out of town tomorrow,
and she wants to see
that little Greek guy.
Roseanna.
Well, she didn't
say that exactly,
but we all know
it's the truth.
Stacy Hightower is still running
a low grade fever.
I'm worried about that.
Yes, sir.
Mrs. Palmer has gone
into false labor
for the third time
in two weeks.
Better put her
on the fetal monitors.
Will do, sir.
Nice tan you've got, Wagner.
Been lounging near
the ultraviolet machines?
No, sir, I had
a chance to do
a little skiing.
Ah.
I haven't been able to find
the time to ski in 10 years.
Tell me, did you fly
to Gstaad or make due
with our less illustrious
local accommodations?
I made due, sir.
Call 6075.
Dr. Michael Webber,
call 6075, stat.
Please call 6075.
Hi.
Hi.
I was upstairs
in a board meeting.
Gosh, what
a nice surprise.
I was just leaving.
I'm glad
I bumped into you.
It's nice
to see you again.
Nice to see you again.
I see your ankle's
all better.
Oh, yes, thanks to you,
I'm good for another ski season.
I guess we must have caught
the last of the snow, huh?
So, I was just gonna
go get a bite to eat.
You hungry?
Oh, I couldn't.I mean if you're
not busy or anything.
I couldn't really.
It's okay.
I understand.
No, no, it's just that
I'm not dressed well.
You wouldn't want me
to eat alone, would you?
Yes, Porter, that's right.
Tell him I'm terribly sorry,
it couldn't be helped.
That's right, and
I'm canceling it for tonight.
Yes, my apologies.
Do tell him.
Thank you.
Right.
Thank you, Casey.
Well, the food
should be pretty good here.
Dr. Brinkley eats here a lot.
Does he?
Well, I'm sure
it will be.
It looks
very nice.
Very nice.
Casey, why don't you
let me invite you tonight?
I'd like this
to be my dinner.
What?
No way, Mrs. Bittan.
I invited you.
I'm on the board
at the hospital,
remember?
I know what
we pay interns.
You wouldn't want me
to live with this guilt,
would you?
No.
I can't let you do that.
I'll tell you what.
I'll use it as a tax deduction.
I'll charge it to the hospital.
There'll be some satisfaction
for you in that, won't there?
Getting back at the hospital
for all that terrible food
you eat every day?
Mrs. Bittan, I--
Look...
It's my contribution
to medical science, okay?
And you can call me Joanna.
Gosh, that
was wonderful.
I enjoyed it.
Do you have
a family?
I mean children.
I have one.
A daughter.
She live at home?
She's been
in New York at school
for the last two years.
She's coming back here
to finish college at Berkeley.
Gosh,
Berkeley's terrific.
She must really be
looking forward
to that, huh?
I'm not so sure.
New York has a lot to offer
and she loves the seasons
and of course
her father's there.
She's close
to her father then?
Yes, very close.
I'm thrilled
she's coming back.
I'm scared,
but thrilled.
Good night again.
Joanna...
I'd like to see you again.
That would be nice.
Tomorrow?
I can't, I'm...
I'm giving a party.
Why don't you come?
Sure, it sounds great.
Where?
At my house at 6:00.
It's casual.
Here's my card.
My address is on there.
Joanna...
Good night, Casey.
Thanks again for dinner.
You're welcome.
Well, I'll see you
tomorrow, okay?
Yes.
There you are.
Try this.
Tada!That looks good.
No, not sure
about this one.
What's the matter?
I don't like it.You don't like it?
No.You know, the guys and I
have been talking.
You know what you need?
Total change of image.
Time to change
the image, kid.
And I've got it
for you, guy, right here.
Okay.
This is my friend Maxwell.
Come on. There we go.
It's you.That looks good.
Huh?Yeah.
Hey, I like this.You like that, huh?
$10 rental fee.
Have it back in 24 hours.
If not,
$5 extra for overtime.
It's worth it.Huh?
Thank you ever so much
for you patronage, my friend.
And do call us again.
Tell a friend.
Huh? What can I do for you?
Casual.
She said very casual.
Casual.
You got to be casual
with rich people.
I am so tired.
They booked me
on back to back shifts.
I got two hours sleep
last night.
Yeah?
This is it.That looks good.
Understated,
casual, insouciant,
and just
the slightest bit wicked.
Huh?
Greg, you could sell
locusts to a farmer, how much?
Ten bucks.
Ten bucks?
I thought we were friends.
$7.50.
Never mind.
It's a freebie.
But do me one favor.What?
One stipulation.
No lipstick on the collar.
Oh, that's cute.
Don't touch me.
Out of here.
Say hello for me.
See if she
has any friends.
Make that two.
Two friends.
Rich ones.
Good afternoon,
Mr. and Mrs. Kline.
How nice to see you.
I can't quite
place you, sir.
Oh, I'm Casey Wagner.
Mrs. Bittan
invited me.
I see.
Shall I relieve you
of those blossoms?
These are
for Mrs. Bittan.
I assume so, sir.
I'll be sure
to see she gets them.
I'd sort of
like to give them
to her myself.
If you must.
This way.
Will you excuse me
for moment?
Sure.Sure.
Excuse me.
Casey.Hi.
I'm so glad
you could come.
Oh, well, thanks.
Oh, look,
I brought you these.
Thank you.
How nice.
My, my, my.
What will you
have to drink?
Oh, gosh,
maybe a Cuba Libre.
A what?
That's a rum and cola.
I don't think
we have any,
but we have plenty
of champagne
and there's wine.That's okay.
Maybe I'll just have
a cup of coffee or something.
All right.
Porter.
Porter?
Would you put these
in a vase, please, Porter?
A crystal vase?
Of course, Porter.
I'm terribly sorry,
but would you excuse me?
Because I've got people
I have to attend to.
Sure, that's okay.
I'll be just fine.
There's plenty of food,
so just make yourself
at home.
As soon as
the crowd thins
we can chat.
Oh, no.Good morning.
What happened?
Evidently a little
faux pas, sir.
Oh, good.
You're awake.
I'm sorry, Joanna.
That's all right,
Porter, ask Felice
to make Dr. Wagner
some breakfast.
It's just that I've had
so many emergencies
at the hospital lately
I haven't had a chance to sleep.
Don't worry
about it.
You made an ideal
party guest.
You didn't drink too much
and no boring small talk.
You're joking,
but I'm very embarrassed.
Don't be.
Look,
have breakfast,
take a shower
in the guest room
if you like afterward,
and excuse me,
but I've got to run.
I'll call you later.
It was a lovely party.
Miss Felice wants to know
what you'd like for breakfast.
Oh, that's all right.
I'm not very hungry, thanks.
Eggs Benedict,
waffles,
fresh fruit,
juice, croissant?
Maybe I'll have just
a little something.
I thought
you might, sir.
Perhaps a little
of each?
Yeah, that sounds good.
Dr. Gill Caplan, call 110.
♪ He's so shy
♪ Too late, too late
He looks
the same to me.
What's the matter
with you guys?
Oh, nothing.
Except Mr. Casey
"I'm-So-Shy" Wagner
didn't seem
to make it home
last night, did he?
No, he didn't.
You make it home
last night, Casey?
Goodbye, guys.
The wedding,
is it casual or rich?
There you go.Thank you.
Oh, Phillip.
You're a darling
to arrange those tickets.
I was absolutely fascinated.
I thought you would be.
Spenders of Byzantium.
Like you, Joanna.
Sensual,
luxurious and noble.
Gad, all that?
I think I'm in love.
At the risk
of embarrassing us both,
let me say how much
I wish you meant that.
Phillip, now, don't let spoil a
perfectly beautiful friendship.
I'd be willing
to risk it.
Good night.
Good night.
Dr. Brinkley, please dial--
Case!
Oh, hi, Jer.Hi.
Looking at
the Peter's chart?Yeah.
Do you agree
with Dr. Brinkley's
diagnosis?
I'm not
so sure of that.
We were just
talking about that.
Dr. Wagner, you have a call.
Oh, that's probably
my mother.
I hope nothing's wrong.
Dr. Wagner.
He's terrific.
I love him.
Hi.
Gosh, I'm glad.
I had no idea
what to send you.
I was just absolutely sure
you didn't need more flowers.
You're right.
Well, to reciprocate,
I thought I'd do
another selfless deed
for medical science.
Oh, really?
What's that?
Well, obviously
you're in need of some
rest and relaxation.
If you could manage
tomorrow off, how about
a day by the pool
sort of stretched out
in the sun,
just laze around?
If you promise to wear a bikini.
Let's just hope
that's not his mother.
Gosh, this is terrific.
How did you manage
to get today off?
Oh, I switched shifts
with a buddy.
Excuse me, Mrs. Bittan.
Miss Felice needs to know what
Dr. Wagner wishes to drink.
Oh, gosh, I don't know.
We have everything,
juice, beer, wine.
We also have milk, sir.
Well, you may think
that's funny,
but that's exactly
what I'd like.
I nice cold glass
of milk, please.
JOANNE: Thank you, Porter.
You know, you never told me
what line of medicine you're in.
Cardiology.
Heart surgery.
Fixing broken hearts?
Yeah, sort of.
So, what about you?
Did all this belong
to your family?
My family?
No.
I over achieved this
all by myself.
I was brought up to think
that if a girl was a good,
dutiful daughter and a kind
loving mother and wife,
well, she'd just
automatically
be taken care of.
Well, wrong.
After the divorce and
the shell shock wore off,
I realized I was actually
going to have to be
responsible for myself.
Horrors.
I wasn't prepared
to do anything.
So I came up with this idea
for a gift catalog business
and voila.
Are you comfortable?
Yeah, I'm terrific, thanks.
Are you very comfortable?
If I was any more comfortable,
I'd be asleep.
Mr. Norman to see you, ma'am.
I rang you on the intercom,
but there was no answer.
Thank you, Porter.
Hello, Phillip.
You left these
in the car.
Thank you.
Oh, this is
Dr. Casey Wagner.
Phillip Norman.
How do you do, sir?
Pleasure.
Well, I guess
I'll be going.
I'll be right back.
Phillip!
Stay and have
a drink with us?
Let's not play games, Joanna.
Look...
I have no claims on you,
although you know damn well
I wish I did.
I can't compete
with a young kid.
Take care.
I'm sorry.
Let's be friends.
Friends.
Keep in touch.
Thank you.
I'm sorry
if I messed things up.
You didn't
mess anything up.
Seemed like
more than a friend.
Not to me.
I'm glad.
Casey, I'm not sure
this is right.
I am.
Let's think about it.
If you need to.I do.
Oh, it's cold.
Oh, darling,
I want it hot.
What?And I want it raw.
First of all,
tell me all about
his body.
Well, he keeps in shape.
All right, so,
you're in the pool
with this
gorgeous body.
Now, don't spare
any details.
Tell me it all.We had a fabulous time.
I mean, he's divine.
Those are the details?
I don't call those details.
Well, you don't tell me
about your sex life
with Alex.
Honey, there ain't
nothing to tell.
I'm sorry.
So am I.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Hi.
Did I wake you?
No, not at all.
So, how was the play?
Overrated, but fun.
I'll bet you thought about me
the whole time, didn't you?
Mm, not even once.
Wait a minute,
what did you say your name was?
Well, I thought about you a lot.
Not even once?
Maybe once, twice.
I'd like to come over there.
Now?
Please?
I just need to talk to you.
Casey, I don't know.
Joanna, we'll just talk,
I promise.
I don't know.
I want to see you.
Please?
[noise at window]
I'll be right down.
Hi.Hi.
Gosh, you look beautiful.
I thought
you wanted to talk.
I do.
Would you just
hold me, please?
Just hold me.
Can I help you with something?
Yeah, my name's Casey Wagner,
I'm here to see Joanna Bittan.
Do you have an appointment?
No.
May I ask what
this is regarding?
Well, tell her it's,
tell her it's regarding
a walk on the beach.
Hmm.
You ready?Mm-hmm.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Okay.Okay.
On your marks...
get set...
Hey, wait a minute!
That's not fair.[laughs]
Come on, slow poke.
You're making me look good.
Come on!
Gosh, I love you.
I hope you don't
mind me saying that.
No, I...
I love the way
your eyes smile.
Well, it's because of you.
Hey, listen,
I got tomorrow off.
You do?
Oh, Casey,
I have about
a dozen workmen
coming at 7:00 a.m.
that I decided
to redo Pam's room
at the last minute.
But why don't you
spend the night
and then sort of
hang out by
the pool tomorrow?
Oh, if you're busy,
I got a million
things to do.
Yeah, like what?
Like go to the cleaners,
like do the laundry,
go to the grocery store.
Sounds terrific.
I have a better idea.
Why don't we go
by the hospital
and I'll pick up
whatever it is
you need washed
and Porter will run
your errands tomorrow?
I can't impose
on you like that.
Why not?
It's not an imposition.
Well, because, I...
I don't know.
I guess I'm just
not used to letting people
do things for me.
So, what are you giving up,
going to the laundry?
I don't know, you meet a lot
of nice people at the laundry.
That's what
I'm afraid of.
Dr. Raider, stat.
Page MICU, stat.
Page Dr. Raider,
MICU immediately.
Hey, Casey.
Oh, hi, guys.
What's going on?
Oh, well, we were
talking about tonight.
We're gonna...
I'm Warren.
Joanna.
I'm Max.Max.
I'm sorry.
This is Greg.
Greg.Gregory.
Gregory.
We were all going bowling
down at Barstow Lanes,
would you like to come?
Well, I...
Do you bowl, ma'am?
I've never been bowling.
Look, guys, it sounds
like a lot of fun,
but we really
have to be going.
Have a good time,
huh?
Bye bye.
Nice to meet you.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Yeah, but you know,
it's the right place
at the right time.
She's beautiful.I think I'm in love.
I know I'm in love.

The photographer
is certifiably insane,
and we are featuring
some wild accessories.
Hammered brass,
banana leaves
and stuff like that.
The models are all done up
like jungle queens.
Who thinks
of all this stuff?
Some lunatic.
Usually me.
Come on over here,
away from the heater.
Come on.
Get the things off.
David!
Oh!
You made it.
I did.
Hi, darling.
It's freezing.
How are those girls
gonna manage?
It's what
they're paid for,
darling.
How cruel.
David, this is Casey.
How do you do?
Are you a model?
No.
I am shocked
I didn't think
of this before.
Joanna, we need
a guy in this shot.
The clean cut preppy type played
against this harem of savages.
We got to try it.
What do you think?
This is beautiful,
but I love it.
If you want to.
Denise!What?
Oh, Denise.
Get this guy
into something.
Into what?
Something.
Something.
Something
preppy, preppy.
Preppy.
Now, girls,
girls.
All right,
step aside.
Make room for him.
Now think warm, honey.
This is the tropics.
I mean, you know,
warm days, hot nights.
Terrific.
Okay, now, look down.
Now, look up.
This is really hot.
Joanna,
I didn't know
you smoked.
Now, hold her closer.
I don't.Hold her closer.
Yes! Yes, that's right.
Let me, now, think, yeah.
Terrific, you know
what to think of, don't you?
Okay.
Now, Casey, grab her
so she's about to fall over.
No, no, really grab her.
I want to see raw power here.
Yes! Yes!
Oh, terrific.
Thank you.
Thank you, David, thank you.
Bye bye.
See you.
Thanks very much.
See you later.
Bye bye.
Can't believe I made
300 bucks in one day.
Well, maybe you should
change professions.
Joanna, what is it,
you annoyed
about something?
I'm not annoyed.
I'm cold.
You're jealous.
That's absurd.
You're jealous.
Come on, admit it.
Maybe a little.
That is terrific.
Hey, guys,
where's Wagner?
He's busy.
He's a busy man.
Yeah.
That's what I hear.
Well, I haven't
seen Casey around
in a long time.
You know romance.
You know, I never thought
Casey was the type.
What type's that?
Well, you know, I know Casey
likes to have a good time.
But I also know that Casey
didn't grow up with much
by the way of material things.
And I also know that he didn't--
Look, I know you ought
to shut your mouth right now
before I put my fist in it.
Jerry, tell me...
do you wear underwear?
Very funny.
Just curious.
I gotta
get back to work.
Oh, you gonna
finish your pie?
No.
Oh.
Sure know how
to clear a table.
Are you gonna finish
your watermelon?
I can't eat all this.
Cover for me,
I'm gonna be a little late.
I'll eat quick.
I can't believe
it's 2:00 a.m.
I go on duty
in five hours.
Stay the night.
I'll get up at dawn.
I'll make breakfast.
I can't.
I don't even have
a change of clothes.
And I gotta
pick up some papers
before I go on duty.
I have an idea,
Casey.
Which is what?
Come live with me.
Are you serious?
Mm-hmm.
Come on, I can't do that.
Think about it.
Well, what about people?
I mean,
what are they gonna say?
They'll get used
to the idea.
Will you look at these clothes?
Italy, huh?
You should have
these things insured.
I hope you aren't
thinking of starting
a rival clothing
rental business
there, Wagner.
Wagner?
Earth to Casey.
Come in, please.
Greg, I scored big
at Asteroids last night.
Twelve bucks off of Max.
Ready to beat your butt.
Oh, yeah?
You happen to be
talking to the king
of the smooth moves.
Oh, I happen to be talking?
What's with
the ghetto jive, blood?
You be from Beverly Hills.
That was a cute date
you had last night.
Thank you?Uh-huh.
Reminded me of my dog.
Blow it out your nose.
GREG: Tell me something,
did you have to walk her
this morning
or didn't you score?
WARREN: [laughs]
Hey, watch yourself now.
Give me one.
Just give me one.
GREG: You want one?
Okay, okay.
Wait, wait, wait.
Just a handful.
Okay, okay, okay.
Truce, truce?
Truce.
Good afternoon,
Dr. Wagner.
Oh, hi, Porter.
May I get you
a drink, sir?
No, thanks.
I'll get it myself.
You what?
Oh, Mom, we went dancing.
Terrific.Drank champagne.
Oh, sounds wonder--
Dad bought me
a pair of earrings.
He did? Did he really?
He bought you that?
Uh-huh.
He has fabulous taste.
He does.I know he, we know he does.
They're really beautiful.
When are you coming?
Monday.Monday?
Yeah.
Oh, darling, that's...
That's fabulous.
Do you have plans
for Monday or something?
No, no, I didn't have
anything planned.
I just want to be sure
your room is ready.
Great.
I'm so happy you're coming.
So, what's new with you now?
Nothing's new with me.
Oh, just a few minor changes.
Oh? Like what?
We'll talk about it
when you get here.
Okay.
Gotta run.
Safe trip.
Bye, Mom.
Bye, darling.
Darling?
Maybe you should
hop in the shower.
I'm afraid
we'll be late.
Okay, I'm going.
Well, Joanna's the one who's--
I'm just learning.
Well, we're so happy you could
join us this evening.
Oh, we're very pleased
to be here.
I must say,
your house is exquisite.
But having met you,
I expected as much.
Tell me, Doctor, have you found
any hearts of gold lately?
[laughs]
Unfortunately, no.
And no blue blood, either.
[laughs]
Oh, great,
Porter, thanks.
Sweetheart?Mm-hmm.
Well, I guess they ought to be
through with breakfast by now.
Mm-hmm.
I'll give 'em a try.
[phone ringing]
Oh, I'll get it.
Hey.
Hello?Hi, Dad.
Hi, kid.
Hey, listen, what kind of
a crazy schedule are you on?
We've been calling you
day and night.
We never seem to get you in.
Are you at the hospital?
Yeah, yeah.
I just came on duty.
Yeah, I'm at the emergency room.
No, no, not too busy.
Listen, your mother and I have a
little surprise planned for you.
We're gonna have it delivered
around noon on your birthday.
Are you gonna be there?
Yeah, sure,
I'll make a point to.
Oh, that's good.
So, tell me, what's going on?
Oh, I'm doing just fine,
I've been really busy, though.
How's Mom?
She's great.
She's right here.
She sends her love.
Dad, listen,
it just got real crazy in here.
Can I call you next week?
Well, okay. Okay.
Talk to you later then.
I'll talk to you soon.
Bye, be good.
Got busy all of a sudden.
Why did you lie to them?
You haven't told them yet,
have you?
[sighs]
I know.
Have you told Pam yet?
You know I haven't.
I really appreciate you
letting me crash here, Casey.
Well, I'm not
using it anyway.
Hey, any sister
of Greg's
is a friend of mine.
Aw.
Look, here's the number
and address in case
of an emergency.
And I'm expecting
a package about
noon tomorrow.
I appreciate
you giving me a call
when it gets here?
Well, if I'm not in
just leave a message
or something.
Will do.
Okay.Okay.
Thanks again, Casey.
[laughter]
Okay.
Okay,
which one is this?
Domaine Chandon.
Great,
Champagne!
And after this,
two more.
Two more?Yeah.
Oh, god.
You know, I haven't been
tipsy in the afternoon since...
since my wedding.
Oh, let me handle this.Unh-unh.
No, it's
your birthday.
Joanna, every day
is my birthday with you.
Look, I just feel funny about
you always paying for things.
I love you.
Then let me pay
for the check, okay?
But, darling,
it doesn't matter
who pays.
I pay now,
you'll pay
some other time.
Well, good,
if it doesn't matter,
then let me do it, all right?
Okay.
Okay, okay,
if it makes you
feel better.
It does.
Casey?
Casey!Shh.
Hi!
Are you delivering
something for Casey?
What about the presents?
No, let's
wait a minute.
Honey,
that's bad,
isn't it?
[doorbell rings]
May I be of assistance?
Well,
I'm Burt Wagner.
Casey Wagner's
father.
They said
at the hospital
he'd be here.
Dr. Wagner is not at home.
He's not at home?
But, you may wait inside
for him if you please.
Well?
I can't believe this.
Do you like it?
Darling, what is it?
It's my parents' car.
Mom?
Dad?
Hey, Dad.
Hey.
Happy birthday.
Hi, Dad.
There was a girl
in your room
at the hospital.
She said we'd
find you here.
Oh, that's Michelle,
that's Gregory's sister.
Well, she just needed a place
to stay for a while and,
well, I thought that--
Who's house is this?
Mrs. Wagner, Mr. Wagner,
how are you?
I'm Joanna Bittan.
I'm delighted
to meet you,
and well,
isn't this lovely
that we can all
be together today
on Casey's birthday?
And what
perfect timing.
We have
dinner reservations
in an hour,
and you must
join us.
Oh, no,
I don't think so.
I insist.
Well, I...
Good.
I'm just going
to run upstairs
and change.
I'll only
be a minute.
Darling, see that
your parents have
something to drink,
will you?Sure.
Well, you want
something to drink?
Huh?No.
No.
No, I don't.
Well, I better get changed.
I'll be back in two seconds.
Well, has anyone
decided yet?
You told me
on the phone you
had to work today.
Oh, I did.
Well, I just traded shifts
with a buddy at the last minute.
Oh.
Huh, well, while you decide,
I'll just go
into the ladies room.
Excuse me.
Probably was wrong of us
to just burst in on you
like that.
You know,
your mother and I
hoped to surprise you
for your birthday
by giving you
our old car.
We finally decided
to get a new one.
Mom, it's great, really.
Yeah, you don't really
need a car now, do you?
Look, I'm sorry you had
to find out like this.
I wanted to tell you,
I just didn't want to do it
over the telephone.
Did she buy that suit for you?
It was a gift.
Yeah.
I'm sure it was.
You have really
disappointed me, Casey.
Really.
Dad, it's not what you think.
That's just what
I've been praying.
Ever since I saw that
fancy car in the driveway,
that's what I've been
hoping and praying.
Well, there's no fool
like an old fool, is there?
Let's get out of here.
Dad, listen to me.
Dad, would you
listen to me, Dad?Oh.
Mom, please talk to him.
I'm sorry, Casey.
I'm sorry.
Casey?
What can I do?
Nothing.
They'll get over it.
Perhaps in time.
You know, Joanna,
I think we should
tell Pamela.
Let's not make
the same mistake twice.
You're right.
W-A-G-N-E-R, right?
Yes, that's right.
Strange, I don't
see any account
in this name.
Oh, I'm sorry,
she was supposed to call.
The charge goes
to Mrs. Joanna Bittan.
Oh, Mrs. Bittan.
I sometimes fit
the daughter.
And often
Mr. Curtis, her--
Her ex-husband.
Oh,
are you her...
Boyfriend.
I am Mrs. Bittan's
boyfriend.
Oh.
Looks like a dedicated
doctor's assistant.
Look at him.
Whew, boy.[whistling]
Hello?
You are one
of the beautiful people.
All right, guys, what's up?
Hey, well, if it isn't
our celebrity intern now.
What?
Can I have
your autograph,
macho face?
Oh, that.
What some people
won't do for money.
Hey, look,
you're gonna be
wanting to watch
your boot from now on,
you know.Hey, hey.
Is it true you only
operate in designer
surgical gowns?
Yeah, that's very funny.
Are you serious
about this thing?
Are you serious about it?
Hey, you're a pretty
good-looking guy, you know.
We were thinking maybe,
you know, we could be
three doctors
in the operating room.
GREG: Surf's up, baby.
WARREN: Hey, listen,
what do you think,
couple of nurses,
we could really do it?
I tried to call Pam today.
No luck.
She's up in the mountains
on a camping trip.
Means I won't be able
to talk to her
till she gets here
on Monday.
That's too bad.
Casey, what is it?
You've been
so quiet
all evening.
I'm fine.
I'm just thinking.
About what?
I don't know,
the guys at the hospital
have been giving me
a hard time.
I guess they're jealous.
I don't know,
maybe I should
stop driving
the new car
to the hospital.
Maybe I ought
to go back
to wearing blue jeans.
I have an idea.
Why don't we
invite them over?
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Have a barbeque out by the pool,
it would be great.
Joanna, it'll never work.
Why won't it work?
Darling, you can't give up
your life and your friends
just to be with me
or we can't work.
I don't know.
Are you embarrassed
of our relationship?
That's ridiculous.
I just want you to be happy.
Well, great.
Then let's have a party.
Let's have a party.
You better
keep your eyes
on Casey tonight.
Why?
Well, the last time
we had a pool party
he sort of overdid it.
He was dating Lisa
at the time.
Casey must have
drank a whole
tub of Sangria.
He climbed up
their flag pole.
Then he took
his clothes off.
He's such a sucker
for a tear.
[laughs]
Oh, but, well,
that was ages ago,
really.
Last summer,
for sure.
Warren!
Come on, get out of there!
I'm gonna go grab
some towels, all right?
Joanna?
Joanna, wait!
Where are you going?I'll be back.
So you had a rude awakening.
I mean, I've had plenty of 'em
in all my relationships.
But don't you see,
I mean, the highlight
of their evening
was throwing themselves
in the pool
with their clothes on.
If I understand you correctly,
what you're saying
is that you realized last night
that Casey is young?
Yes.And that's news?
Well, I haven't seen
that side of him.
I mean, around me
he's so mature.
Darling, just relax,
take it easy.
For all you know,
next time
you'll throw yourself
in the pool.
And with no clothes on.
Bad.Good.
I told you bad's good.
Do you like these?I love them.
[phone ringing]
Wagner's?
Hi, Benny, it's Casey.
Is my dad there?
Oh, yeah.
Just a minute.
I'll see.
It's Casey again.
I'm sorry, Casey.
He just stepped out.
Yeah, sure, Benny.
Well, ask him to call me,
would you?
Yeah. Sure.
Yeah, I'll make sure
he calls you.
Bye.
That doesn't
look too good.
Look, here's the
hairline fracture
right there.
Lower humerus
and the left elbow,
and there's
another angle.
Sure, notice how it
just branches from there
right down to there?
Dr. Wagner?
Dr. Casey Wagner?
I'm gonna show these
to Dr. Brinkley.
Hello?
Hi, how are you?
Great, how about you?
Well, how's Dad?
He's fine.
He's fine.
Listen, I'm calling
'cause Aunt Minnie's
gonna have a picnic on Sunday.
I thought maybe
you'd try to make it down.
Sure, yeah, I'd love to.
Just let me check
with Joanna, okay?
Casey?
I think it'd better
if you came alone.
I think you need the time
with your father.
Well, you really think
that's gonna do any good?
Honey, it's just that he's so,
he's so hurt.
Well, what about me, Mom?
How does he think I feel?
Look, why don't you just
put him on the phone?
I want to ask him myself.
Well, he's not home.
He won't talk to me, will he?
That's why I feel
you should come down
and see each other face to face.
Okay, Mom.
I'll see what I can do,
all right?
I'll let you know.
Okay.
Okay, thanks.
Bye.
Yeah.
All right.
Bye bye.
[knocking]
Casey,
what are you doing here?
I'm on my way to the airport.
Why?
I talked to my mom.
My dad still won't speak to me.
I just want to go down there and
try and straighten things out.
Darling,
you're on duty tomorrow night.
I know.
I'll be back in time.
Joanna.
God, I'm embarrassed
to ask you this.
I need to borrow 100 bucks
for plane fare.
Of course.
I'm sorry.
I'm broke.
Casey, don't worry
about it, okay?
I just hate to ask you.
Casey, don't be silly.
I'll pay you back at the end
of the month, I promise.
Please don't worry about it.
Let's not talk about it.
Take it.
Thanks.
Casey, don't be so stubborn,
go on up and take a nap.
Mom, it's quarter of 6:00.
Shouldn't he be here by now?
Yeah, Benny's bringing him home.
Maybe they stopped for a beer.
Ah, no, here he is.
Hi, Dad.
I don't think
you should have come here.
Well, I think we should talk.
I don't think
there's anything to say.
I'm just glad my father's
not alive, that's all.
What the hell
is that supposed to mean?
That's not what he means.
It's just he's upset
about your friend.
My friend what?
Well, she's almost
as old as I am.
So what difference
does that make?
What does age
have to do with anything?
Well, it's not the age, it's...
It's what?
Well, you know
what it looks like.
No, I don't know, Mom,
so, why don't you tell me?
What it looks like is that
you've lost your self respect.
It looks like you're a gigolo.
I can't believe you think that.
Well, she's paying
for you, isn't she?
And in return you
tend to her needs.
Isn't that why
you're living
at her house?
I love Joanna,
and that is why
I live at her house.
Don't you know me at all?
Hello? I'm your son.
The one who quit
the football team in high school
because he wanted to go to work
to pay his way to college.
The one who kept
winning scholarships.
The one who worked his way
through medical school.
Look, I spent the first
23 years of my life
working so hard just
to make you proud of me.
But I got to spend
the next 23 years
living it
to your specifications?
Dad, you won't return
my phone calls
because you think
I'm a gigolo?
Casey, you can't change
the truth.
She's paid for you.
You're kept.
Casey!
Hi, darling.
When I heard
the car pull up,
I thought it was Pam.
How did it go
with your father?
Not great.
I'm sorry, baby.
I'm so sorry.
Do you want
to tell me about it?
Let's save it
for later, okay?
Okay.
You look exhausted.
Why don't you
go upstairs and sleep?
I don't think it's
such a good idea
for Pamela
to come home
and find some guy
in her mother's bed.
I'm just gonna grab
my swimming suit
and maybe try
and catch a nap
by the pool.
You two should be
alone for awhile.
Thank you.
Thank you.
PAMELA: Felice!
Pamela.Hi.
Let me help you, darling.Thank you.
Hello, Porter.
Baby, welcome home.
Hi, Joanna.
Hi, Darling.
Gosh, it's good to see you.
You look so pretty.
Come on in, let me show you
what I've done to your room.
Okay.
Well?
Well?
The house looks great.
Well, naturally.
Pammy?
I wanted to talk to you
about something.
I tried to call you in New York,
but you'd already gone up
to the mountains.
Nothing too drastic, I hope.
Yes and no.
Joanna, there's
a young man
out by the pool.
That's what I wanted to talk
to you about, Pammy.
Mother, why do you always
do this to me?
Every time I come home
you're trying to fix me up
with a friend's kid.
The day I come home?
Do we get engaged
before or after I unpack?
He's not here for you, Pam.
Oh, well, then,
who is he, Mother?
What's he doing here?
He lives here.
Pamela?
Hi.
Is Casey all right, or should
I call you step-father?
Casey will do just fine.
I sort of spied you
out the window,
and then Joanna
lowered the boom.
Needless to say,
I was taken aback.
Pamela, your mother's been
very worried about telling you.
She tried to call you last week.
Yes, I know.
So...
I trust you're all settled in?
Noticed a great sports car
out front.
It's yours, I take it?
Yes.
Present from Joanna?
Yeah, for my birthday.
Pamela.
Look, I know exactly
how you feel.
How could you possibly?
Good morning, darling.
Good morning, Felice.Good morning.
Good morning.
Where's our medical staff
this morning?
Casey left at dawn.
He has
a morning shift.
Pamela?
Do you think
we ought
to talk about it?
What's there to say?
You're happy.
Pammy.
Do you know what you're doing?
I mean, really.
No. I don't suppose I do.
We didn't mean it to happen.
It just happened.
We fell in love.
Well, just what is love to you?
It's what I feel.
Give him a chance.
He's really very nice.
Well, if you like him, Mother,
shouldn't that be enough?
I got to go meet Cassie.
[door knocking]
Come in.
Wagner?
Yes, sir.
You gave me the wrong data
for Mrs. Churnek.
I nearly removed her tonsils.
Sir?
Here, you gave me the file
of Miss Arlene Churville,
age five.
I can't
believe this, sir,
I'm sorry.
Sit down.
What's up with you
lately, doctor?
I suppose I'm having problems
in my personal life, sir.
Hmm.
An intern cannot afford
a personal life
if it interferes with his duty.
Our work here cannot adjust
to a frivolous mistake.
Do I make myself clear?
As always, sir.
Let me give you
a word of advice.
If you can't fix it,
get rid of it.
Yes, sir.
Wonderful.
Hi, Carol.
You forgot the programs.
Oh, sit,
I'll take care of it.
How many?
Three.
Let me give you some money.
No, I got it.
Be right back.
Well?
$5 a piece?
Casey!
Hey, Case.Hi.
Don't you look sharp.
He looks like a waiter.
I didn't know
you liked the ballet.
Oh, I'm not sure if I do,
I've never been.
Where are you sitting?
Third row.
Third row?
I can't believe it.
I waited in line for five hours
before the box office opened
on the first day of sales
and we're up in the boondocks.
Great.
We're getting
together afterwards
at the Moon Club
for some
serious dancing,
you want to come?
Hey, it sounds great, but I--
I know, don't tell me,
formal dinner, right?
Enjoy the ballet.
See you later.
This form is called
a "pas de deux."
I know that.
Why do you always assume
I'm ignorant of these things?
I'm sorry, Casey.
Forgive me?
Chenko.
Did you see
that body?
Fantastic the way
he filled out
a pair of tights.
I mean, the grace,
the elegance,
those leaps.
Staggering.
Frank even managed
to stay awake.
Marginally.
I don't
believe that.
There's Henny Brandywine.
[gasps]
Sunshine.
Oh, my.
Looks like
a resurrection.
You got a wicked glow.
Look who's behind.
The Shadow.
The Shadow.
Look who's there.
Well, I declare
you look like a movie star.
Oh, so do you,
darling.
Hello, dear.
Oh, Sybil.
It's been too long.
It has.
I'd like you to meet
my friend Casey Wagner.
Your friend?
How nice.
How do you do?
Casey, I'd like
to have you meet my friend,
Grainger Morrison.Pleasure.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you, darling.
My Grainger's a quick draw.
You know they say smoking's bad
for your sex life, darling.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear
you're having trouble, dear.
Oh, touche,
Henny, touche.
[applause]
I'll meet you
in the lobby, okay?
Boring, isn't it?
Gotta stay sober, too,
or I can't do my duty
by old Henny.
Oh, you'd be surprised
at the hot blood pumping
through that old broad.
How about yours?
My what?
Your patroness, Joanna.
She looks like
one very hot lady.
[grunts]
Come on,
we have to get
out of here.
Excuse me, folks,
Joanna's had a slight
problem at home.
It's nothing serious,
we just can't
make the party.
Excuse us.Joanna, is it something
about Pamela?
I hit Grainger Morrison.What? Why?
Because he said
something I didn't like,
all right?
I don't believe it.
What did he say?
What difference
does it make?
For God's sake, Casey.
Couldn't you behave
like a gentleman?
Joanna, I am not
a gentleman right now.
I'm an angry kid.
Now, let's go.
Where are we going?
Dancing.Dancing?
Don't they know this is
doctor's night at the Moon Club?
Really.
Why doesn't anybody
come over to me yet?
Here you go.Thank you.
Thank you.
You can put it on my tab.
Casey Wagner.
He's just joking.Warren Frankstein.
Dr. Frankstein.
Paging Dr. Warren Frankstein.
You came!
Hey.Hey.
Hey, what happened
to your party?
Oh, nothing, we just thought
it'd be more fun here with you.
Well, let's get to it, boys.
Like to dance?What?
Would you
like to dance?
Oh, no, thank you.
I'm just gonna watch for awhile.
You want a drink?
No, thanks.
Hi, how are you doing?
Hi.
You like to dance?
Yeah, sometimes.
Yeah?
Mrs. Bittan.
Hi, sweetheart.
What are you doing here?
I, how are you, Wanda?
I suppose you could say
I'm partying.
Did you come
with Pam and Kathy?
No. Why?
Oh, well,
I'm sure they're
around here somewhere.
I guess I'll just
go find them.
Well, should we go home?
Sure.
Joanna?
I'm tired, Casey.
I don't want to talk.
We'll talk tomorrow.
I work a double shift tomorrow.
The day after
tomorrow then.
Joanna?
Yes?
Forget it.
Hi.
I was working my way over
to you at the Moon Club.
I saw you run out of there
like two bats out of hell.
What happened?
You two have a fight?
You really think
I'd give you the satisfaction
of telling you if we did?
Oh, ho, venom.
Look, why are you giving me
such a hard time?
I live here, you live here,
what's the point?
The point is, doctor,
that I care about my mother.
Oh, and I don't?
Well, maybe you do today.
What about 10 years from now?
In 10 years you're gonna be
at the prime of your life
and my mother is gonna be
well past hers.
She'll have lines, sags.
You can only keep up
this youth business for so long,
you know.
She's not gonna wanna run
to the Moon Club with you
and your friends at your whim.
I don't see what worrying
about 10 years from now
has to do with anything.
Do you want a family
10, 20 years down the line?
Joanna can't give you that.
She's already had her family.
You're gonna live your life
in hostility and resentment.
And you're gonna grow
to hate Joanna
for something that
she has no control of.
For aging.
Pleasant dreams.
[intercom buzzes]
Yes, Roseanna?
Your ex-husband's on the line.
Thank you.
Hello, Curtis.
Pamela didn't tell me
you were coming to town.
She doesn't know.
I wanted to see you first.
Can we meet for a drink?
Sure, I'd love to.
Where and when?
Ready for
my other drink.
I have never
seen a Pina Colada
sit in front
of you intact
for more than
45 seconds.
Now,
what's wrong?
It's Pam.
It's just not working out.
I know
she came out here
meaning well.
Until she met Casey.
Oh.
Between him
and Pam and Casey,
Casey's friends and me
and Casey and my friends,
I feel like shredded wheat.
Maybe you could ask him
to move out temporarily.
Just for a few weeks
until things settle down.
I can't do that.
Why?
I'm afraid if I did,
it would end.
Well, if it would
maybe it should then.
No, no, I'm fine.
I'll find something.
Just have a nice dinner
with Curtis and Pam,
and I'll see you at home later.
Okay, bye.
PAM: This is just
where I felt like having dinner.
CURTIS: Good.
PAM: I'm glad you didn't tell us
where we were going.
I love surprises.
Well, I know
you and your mother
are addicted
to soft-shelled crabs.
Must be something in your genes.
Darling, I'm gonna call
and see if Casey's back yet.
I'll be right back.
Is Casey so horrible?
No.
He's a nice guy.
So?
So?
I don't think that
it's a love match.
I think they're
just infatuated.
Is that really your affair?
It seems you're trying
to upset their relationship.
Come on, Daddy, how could I
if they were really in love?
I will admit that I've slung
a few verbal arrows,
but big deal.
I think Mother's problem
is that she's never met anyone
who compares to you.
You're different, Daddy.
You're worldly
and sophisticated and--
Stop it, Pamela.
You're nursing a fantasy.
I love your mother, but I'm not
in love with her anymore.
You're just saying that.
No, I'm not.
And you have to let go.
Your mother's suffering.
Why don't you concentrate
your energies where they belong?
Into your relationship with her.
Now that's obviously
in need of attention.
Pamela?
What can I say?
You're right.
I love her.
Don't tell me, tell her.
You girls can wait here,
I'll get the car.
Mom?
Yes, dear?
Oh, thank you.
I forgot.
Thank you, Pam.
Mom?
Yes, love?
I love you.
Pammy.
Pam.
If you knew
how long I waited
to hear you say that...
And if Casey makes you happy,
then I'll try to be nice.
I just missed you so much.
I missed you, too, baby.
[door opens]
[door closes]
Hi, stranger.
Hi.
How come
you're still up?
I wasn't sleepy.
You have fun?Yeah.
Shot pool,
played pinball.
Got a little drunk.
Are you tired?
Not especially.
Why?
Can we talk, Casey?
Sure.
What is it?
What's wrong?
It can't work with us.
It can't work with us.
What are you
talking about?
It can work.
How?
In a vacuum?
By pretending people
around us don't exist?
It's a fantasy.
What do you mean,
a fantasy?
This is real to me.
I don't
understand you.
I don't even know
what's happening
right now.
I love you, Joanna.
I love you, too.
It's just not enough.
It's enough for me.
For now.
What about years from now?
I'll be 64, Casey,
when you're my age.
Will you love me then?
Will you?
Of course.
No you won't.
You'll feel restless.
And I'll feel...
I'll feel old.
So, love counts for nothing?
No.
No.
I'll always love you.
You know I'm right,
don't you?
Casey?
Take care of yourself.
Thanks.
