A Different World (1987–1993): Season 6, Episode 5 - Really Gross Anatomy - full transcript

Kimberly gets help from her new lab partner, Spencer, when she gets sick in anatomy class, and Dwayne pines for Whitley when she travels out of town.

All your meals are labeled.

Blue for breakfast,
green for lunch

and pink for dinner.

Just pop them in the microwave
and think of me.

I can figure it out.

Now, your cab is waiting.

I wish I didn't have to go

to this stupid gallery opening.

Me too. I can't
believe it.

Three days without my girl.

What will I do?



Got to go, baby, bunny!

What will a businesswoman

look like carrying
a stuffed animal?

That's the first
Christmas present

you ever gave me,
and I'll need the company.

I'll be without my pookie.

And the vase goes... here!

I will call every night.

You promise?

I promise, I promise.

Guess what?

Guess what?

I love you.

I love you more.



Now get on out of here.
Okay, bye.

Get on out of here.

Yee-ha!

Okay. Meanwhile,
the vase goes... here.

And, "pookie,
the floor is not a closet."

And, "don't put your stinky dogs
on the furniture."

And, "do we have to watch
this game?"

Yes! We do!

£ ooh £

£ I know my parents loved me £

£ stand behind me
come what may £

£ come what may £

£ I realize that I'm ready £

£ 'cause I finally

£ oh, now,

£ from where you come from £

£ it's a different world £

£ from where you come from,
yeah. £

and tomorrow, we embark

upon a subcutaneous journey
of discovery...

The dissection of your cadavers.

For those of you
still in the dark

that means we're going
to slice up the meat.

Think of these cadavers
as a sandbox of science

a playground of possibilities,
if you will.

Sound like luscious Lucy
from down home.

He just kills me.

Astronomers study
the wonders of outer space.

We, however,
ladies and gentlemen

shall discover
the wonders of inner space...

The human body,
the final frontier.

Captain kirk

I'm not ready to blast off.

Then, may I suggest

you find another
enterprise, please?

Let's not waste
each other's time.

Ladies and gentlemen,
the weeding out process...

The weeding out process
is exceedingly brutal

yet for some of us,
curiously enjoyable.

Now, I want you
to check the board

for your cadaver assignments

before you leave.

Oh yes, and one other thing.

Please, try to get
a good night's sleep.

Dream a little dream of me.

Are you Kim Reese?

Yes, I am.

Hi. I'm Spencer boyer.

We'll be working

on cadaver number seven
this semester.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

Oh, man!
This professor's a killer.

I can't take all this Gore.

I've been trying
to get ready all week.

The human dissection video?

No! I hung out
in the meat section

of the grocery store.

Oh, I think that's
our cadaver over there.

Yeah, it is.

Stiff number seven?

Mm-hmm. I'm Kim
and this is Spencer.

Yeah, whatever.

Steve rocklin

son of Dr. Tobias rocklin,
neurologist.

Spencer boyer

son of Dexter boyer,
a cab driver.

Concerning work on the body,
I'll handle that, capice?

We all want to handle
the cadaver.

You ever work
on a dead body before?

Yes, in a funeral home.

I did hair and makeup.

A lot of students
can't hack this, sweetheart.

Only the strong survive.

That's why there aren't
many women here.

I beg your pardon!
Women have...

Don't worry about it,
mortician beautician.

You can put on the lipstick.

Spencer:
I would like

to apply a foot
to your backside.

Do you promise?

And now we will explore
the intestinal tract.

Freddie:
Kim, could you get that?

I just got out of the shower!

It's open! It's open!

Hello, co-dorm director,
future m.D. Reese.

Hello, Charmaine.

Ew, that is disgusting.

Is there any particular reason

why you are watching
nightmare on elm street?

It is a video
of a human dissection

for my anatomy class,
so if you don't mind...

My little query will
only take up a few
minutes of your time.

It seems that
my financial condition

is suffering a bit
from my high phone bills

and since you were previously
an employee at the pit

I was hoping you would
recommend me to Mr. Gaines.

Damn.

I realize
you're a very busy woman

so I have written
the letter myself.

"Dear Mr. Gaines,
this is a recommendation

"for a woman I'm excited
for you to meet.

Her name
is Charmaine tyesha brown..."

Look, look, look.

I'm signing, okay?

Yes, thank you

and I will live up
to your recommendation.

I promise.
Okay.

Kim!

Please, don't get up.

You've done so much already.

Hi.

You look great.

This is for, uh...

Kim! Those must be
for Kim.

Kim! Something here
for you.

Um..

Trail mix!
My favorite!

With extra nuts.
Thank you very much.

Ah! Thank you

and later on tonight

I got reservations for two

at funky Leon's
chicken and waffles.

Oh, man, that really
sounds great, Ron

but I got to study.

Yeah, see, we're cutting
the cadavers tomorrow

and I really want
to be prepared.

Salutations, earth children.

Do you live here?

I ask myself that every day.

Get no respect around here.

Well, my king, are you ready

for a camping trip
in the mountains?

Yes, me and winnie

moonlight glistening
off our nakedness

serenaded by howling wolves.

Wolves?

Nakedness?

Oh, baby don't worry.

Your nubian prince
will ward off any beast

that comes within an inch
of your...

Chemically relaxed hair.

It's just blown out.

Whatever it is, it's mine.

Yes, it is, my love.

Kim. Kimmy.

What do you say
I cook dinner tomorrow night

and have it waiting for you
when you get home from class?

Oh, how sweet.

You're going to cook?

I am going to prepare
a meal of epic proportions.

Guaranteed to electrify
the taste buds.

That's about the only thing
you're going to electrify.

I'll electrify you,
you keep that up.

Gaines:
"You could not find
a finer all-around human being

to work at the pit
than Charmaine tyesha brown."

Signed, Kimberly Reese.

If Kimberly Reese

says such lovely things
about you, charmin

you must be one lovely lady.

You start tomorrow.

You won't be sorry.

I'd like to get my apron

so I can have it dry-cleaned.

I want everything
to be just right
on my first day.

Whoa, Nellie.

You got the job.

Good.

Lena James.

I recognize those
pine cones anywhere.

You're 20 minutes late.

I know, Mr. Gaines.

It's been a tough day.

Not as tough as my
hush puppies will be

if you don't get them
out of the deep fryer.

Now, move it!

What are you doing back here?

I am trying to find an apron

to suit my particular needs.

You better find a door
that suits your needs.

If Mr. Gaines finds you here,
he'll kick you out.

Why would he do that
to an employee?

Employee!?

Yeah. And when lifting
the fry basket

lift up, not out.
Less splatter.

I learned that at burger barge

where I was
employee of the month
three months in a row.

I'm hoping to make
pit supervisor by Christmas.

There is no pit supervisor.

But there will be.

Ouch!

Hey, partner, the wife is away.

Time to play, time to par-tay.

Par-tay?

Damn, you old.

I'm talking about a man's night.

Some bid whist,
some videos, brew.

Poker?

Yeah, poker.

I need a break
from the old ball and chain.

Wait a minute... videos?

Yo, can we come?

Yeah, 9:00 tonight.

Mr. Gaines,
we're getting together

at my place
around 9:00.

Will velma let you get away?

I may wear an apron at work,
but at home I wear the pants.

Besides,
tonight's her choir night.

Oh.
Choir night.

That's why.

Uh-oh, trouble.

Come on, give it up.

Mr. Wayne, when you busting out
with the videos?

After this game

we're watching
the Chavez-camacho fight.

The video is of a fight?

A very old fight.

Come on, man.

Mr. Wayne,
we got to be stepping.

Come on, it's early yet, y'all.

Yeah, but we got studying to do.

Yeah, we got studying to do.

Lots... of studying.

We going to be out on the court

tomorrow morning,
shooting some ball?

I'm going to be trying out
my new pumps on you.

Now that the little kiddies
is gone

let's play a man's game.

Five-card stud, now,
nothing wild.

That's right.

Dwayne, your party is tired.

I have a roast to thaw out.

I've planned a romantic dinner
with Kim tomorrow night.

That's beautiful, but come on..

Roast is a nice idea.

What else
you putting on the table?

A knife and a fork.

You got to have
side dishes, boy.

You can't just serve a woman
a hunk of meat.

Why not?

May I suggest a radicchio
or an arugula salad?

And I've got a wonderful recipe
for a dressing.

That vinaigrette sure had velma

licking her plate.

French bread
would go wise with that.

Vern, I beg to differ with you.

I would bake a fresh loaf
of sourdough bread.

And then top it off

with a bottle
of white zinfandel.

Hey, this is a man's night!

Can we please stop worrying
about the babes?

Oh, speaking of the baby

it's my turn
to tuck her in tonight.

Dwayne, you should see
the smile she gets

on her face
when she sees her daddy.

I'll see you later.

I got to tuck velma in too.

You should see the smile
on her face when she sees daddy.

Y'all are just going to leave?

Hey, wait a minute.
Hey! Man, I know you ain't...

Hey!

Man, I got a dinner to plan,
groceries to shop for

and I ain't got nothing to wear.

Recipes and babies.

This should have been
the bridge club.

You're right, Dwayne.

Velma can tuck herself in.

That's all right,
Mr. Gaines.

Split the deck, boy.

The game is go fish,
and I can go all night.

Professor Murphy:
We will be starting

in the infraumbilical region.

We will start cutting
at the navel

and go straight down
the linea nigra

to a point
three centimeters superior

to the pubic symphysis.

Ooh, that sounds painful.

They are dead!

Dead, dead, dead,
dead, dead, dead, dead!

Please, pull yourself together.

What happens if you don't pass
this class?

Mom will kill me.

Remember that.

Okay, dad.

All:
Dad?

Now, I want a volunteer
to make the first incision.

Chill, rocklin!

Is there something wrong,
miss Reese?

I assume that's a "yes."

Feast, don't fail me now. Mmm!

This is going to be it.

Kim, my sweetheart!

You home already.

I had a bad day, Ron.

Well, that bad day
about to get better.

Sit on down.

Mmm, smell that.

Ooh, yum-yummy.

Would you like to do
the honors, doctor?

What's..? What..?

Damn! I knew I should have got
that cornish hen!

What's the matter?

The professor told me
to cut the cadaver

in front of the whole class...

And I got sick.

Oh.

And I threw up.

Ohh...

On the man's shoes!

Ooh!

Well, he's not going to fail you

because you got sick...

Well, unless he
was wearing sandals.

It's all right.

Don't be upset.

It was so humiliating.

How can I show my face
in class again?

I'm not going back.

Kim, you worry too much

about what other people think.

If I cared about everything

that people said about me

I wouldn't be where I am today.

Yes, and...

And where are you?

Where I am...

Is into you.

And where you should be

my brilliant little med student

is into this dinner.

So forget about that

and come on and sit down
for a minute.

It will be all right.

See? It's going
to be all right.

Looks great.

It's rare.

Kim, why don't
you just go and...

No, go and lay down, honey.

Just... go and...
Lie down.

Can... can I have
my trail mix?

Trail mix?

Sure.

Trail mix.

And can I get a cup of tea?

Anything for you.

And will you come too?

All right, now, baby.

Oh, yeah.

Just don't try to grab hold
of my Booty.

Damn, there's
Mr. Wayne again.

What are we going to do?

He left four messages
this morning.

I know what i'm going to do, g.

You on your own.

Terrell, wait.

Hey, hey, Dorian!

Where you going, now?

I was on the court
at 6:00 this morning

shooting jumpers,
looking for you.

Mr. Wayne, I totally forgot.

I was delivering hot meals
to the elderly.

I got to go.

Hold on, now.

We'll hook up this afternoon.

Yeah, great.

You ready?
I'm pumped.

I'll call you.

Don't call me.
I'll call you.

Them kids is something else.

That is so.

Hey, man, you look
a little rough there.

What's the matter?

Rough night?

Oh, no. I enjoy having the bed
to myself once in a while.

It's not so bad

to not have whitley's toe claws
scratching at you.

Yeah, I been there.

Velma likes to keep her toenails
long, and thick too.

Thanks for sharing
that information
with us, vern.

You still enjoying
the single life?

Oh, yes.

It's too bad
I only got seven hours left.

I'll check you guys later.

Look at that... do you see that?

He needs his wife, don't he?

Okay, don't even worry about it.

We cool, we cool.

Here she comes!

Hey, Kimmy.

Hope you didn't eat
before you came here.

Hey, cool you foot, now, boy.

Hi, Kim.

Hi, Spencer.

We're going to open
the abdominal wall.

Why don't you do it?

No, I'll just...

No, Kim, Kim, Kim...

All you have to do, right?

Is take it easy and go for it.

All right?

Okay.

Wait!
What?

Geez!

What?

You sliced the
transversus
abdominus muscle!

No, I didn't slice
the transversus abdominus.

Are you sure?

Yes, I think...

You think, or do you know?

I can't believe that.

I'm sorry.

Tell it to your patient.

What's going on here?

Who made this incision?

Nurse Reese.

You did?

Yes, sir. I did, sir.

She just cut
the transversus abdominus.

She should have cut
the piriformis.

Right, professor?

Absolutely, Mr. Rocklin

if she wanted to cut into
the cadaver's buttocks.

Pay attention, Mr. Rocklin.

You might pass the course
this year.

I'll work with him, sir.

Hey, don't worry, junior.

Nobody going to tell daddy.

This is exciting work,
Ms. Reese.

It's a delicate
and very exact incision.

You handle a scalpel
masterfully.

Thank you, sir.

Beauty and brains too?

What you doing later?

We going have to get married

and have a couple
of babies, or something.

Hello.

Hi, Kimmy.

How you doing?

I'm great!
Just call me brilliant.

I walked in today
and made an incision

that would have made
Charles drew proud.

Ooh, go ahead, Kimmy.

And I also discovered
that, um...

All work and no play

makes Kim a very dull doctor.

Hmm.

I think I need a lab
in "bedside manner."

The doctor will see you now.

W-W-Wait!

No, don't answer that.

I'll get rid of them.

What... what are you..?

Kim!

Whoa!

You make me so proud
of you today!

Hey, respect here.

Who's that?

Ron, this is Spencer,
my lab partner.

Spencer, this is Ron.

You should have seen
this girl today.

I thought you might want
to celebrate

so I brought you these

and homemade rum punch.

How sweet.

Kim, you was about
to take my temperature.

Hey, don't worry here, boss.

This rum punch
will cool you
down real quick.

And I brought enough
for three people.

Don't worry.

What did he say?

I'm back, pookie.

Hmm.

Baby, make me a sandwich.
