door I've learned that much and if I
can't see your hands the whole time I'm
out of here
miles I'm not going to the class I've
got a source who says the Pine River
nuclear facility is leaking hazardous
waste but he's afraid to go public how
can I break that story if I'm sitting in
a lotus position breathing through my
navel you scored 284 on a test where 250
is a triple bypass I know how important
this story is I want it as badly as you
do but you need this class to 84 it was
the second worst score of the entire
stack at least I'm not the worst who
beat me

introduce you to mr. guru Prem he'll be
conducting the class guru good morning
everyone
I'm sure you'll find the next few
minutes and lightning and enjoyable all
I ask is that you remain open good
thoughts cannot blossom in the arid soil
of a closed mind let's do this let's
reduce our stress and get the hell out
of here
nobody told me we were having teams why
aren't you dressed I'm just gonna stand
and watch and then do it at home tonight
I really will I promise if I could have
everyone's attention for a moment I'd
like to show you some simple exercises
which can help lower your blood pressure
and raise your energy level we call this
first exercise the elephant waves his
trunk and calls to the herd
he waves his trunk and calls to the herd
[Music]
Wow did you read that stuff I put on
your desk last night Pine River has been
buying up land all
we talk about this later and try to
concentrate that's it feel the power of
your trunk
they get this guy as you notice that
smiled I think he thought peace and love
and then one day the police find his
mother and a hefty bag in the freezer
very good now we move into the penguin
grooms his feathers
[Music]
this is ridiculous can I talk to you for
a minute if I fly to Pine River this
afternoon maybe I can get close enough
to get soil samples and from here we
gently move into the monkey goes to
sleep and dreams of the stars
I can see me doing this every day
miles I want to go to Pine River I need
authorization make a decision I gave
here you the blood is rushing to my head
I said I need to what me you need one
and now the monkey reaches for a coconut
is everything okay yeah yeah
everything's fine it's it's a little
muscle spasm okay just try to relax but
we want to do is to breathe some air
into those muscles by the way you have
signed a release form haven't you
[Music]
hey you Murphy Brown Joe Joe you won't
mind the little picture would you this
really isn't a good time for me come on
everybody squeeze in okay great which
way is the gift shop
I don't know she doesn't know let's ask
that man miles where you been I'm still
waiting for my x-rays what they do take
them to fotomat you're doing free
cholesterol checks in the cafeteria six
months on a high-fiber diet and I'm
still at 240 I got so depressed I ate a
chili cheese dog and killing myself mr.
brown
I'm nurse Hawking if there's anything I
can do any information you might need
for a story just let me know she's not
here to do a story she hurt her back
yeah all right good choice back injuries
are very hard to disprove especially if
you get one of those new interns but
they couldn't diagnose their way out of
a paper bag we do all the work they get
all the glory in the big footstool
I'm really not faking this I hear
stories now make your flesh crawl
I'll be around later dr. bishop
well Murphy I've looked at the x-rays I
think it can forget about leading that
cattle drive are you talking about
you got a slipped disc you're online for
a few days you've been waiting for this
haven't you Elliot I'm healthy as a
horse I only see him once a year and
that just drives him crazy doesn't it
you know every time I see you I regret
not becoming a veterinarian okay let's
review Jim's on a boat with Walter
Cronkite you're flat on your back and
I'm developing and taking my left eye
this is good I was getting too
comfortable you can't afford that my job
it was really a blessing a gift that you
got really close to cracking a major
story I can't afford to waste time lying
around besides I wouldn't even be
everywhere for that stupid stress
plastic it's not the class it's you I
mean I've only been here two minutes and
I'm so tight I could open a Pepsi with
my buck I slipped this is nothing to
fool around with you're here till I let
you out and that's that he's right
Murphy we can handle things without you
for a few days that's all it would be a
few days no more than that right die I
don't know and don't call me doc I don't
like that
[Music]
Miss Brown I don't usually pull a double
shift but it's so exciting to have you
here I just couldn't go home and look
here's another bouquet you are the most
popular person in the hospital should I
read the card I don't care Wow Connie
Chung you can't fool me you're having
your thigh sucked
put it right over here I know you'll
want to save it now is there anything
else I can get you from the video store
okay ladies who left miss Kupchak in the
bathroom I wrote down a few of the
things we talked about yesterday
I can't wait to blow the lid of this
letter
I'm really not doing a story I have a
slip dish you can see it in the chart my
cut not it don't let nobody knew your
spine one of those pinhead residents get
a little nervous next thing you know you
got a steel rod left over to break used
to be you know how you doing Merv I'm
having a ball Frank more fun than I ever
dreamed of I've made friends I'll keep
for the rest of my life how do you think
I'm doing Oh Murphy I work on that
temper if I were you there are a lot of
attractive young doctors here and
judging from the way you look you're
going to have to rely on personality now
more than ever
you need to keep this I'd like to borrow
it sometime I know somebody'd look great
in it I'm going out of my skull here
what if something breaks on the pine
rivers story what if the phone in my
office is ringing I think it is I can
feel it see see the minute you start
talking about work you tense up if 20 20
or 60 minutes gets the Pine River before
us so be it your health is more
important I know what'll cheer you up
Bart got a letter from Jimmy now let me
see here dear guide greetings from Aruba
it's been an interesting six-day sailing
with Walter
they say you don't really know someone
until you travel with them well I've now
learned that the most trusted man in
America is hoarding fruit cocktail in
his cabin yeah I'll be swabbing the deck
twice a day and sometimes I'm on Lookout
for 12 hours straight last night I
dreamt of smothering him with a pillow
now he's getting suspicious pray for me
Jim
nice flowers oh yes hello who's calling
one sec Murphy some guy wouldn't give
his name you want it oh what the hell
Murphy Brown here miles that was so
sweet what you said about Murphy's
health being the most important thing I
think she really needed to hear it she
lied to me she said she was a fast
healer
look at her she'll be lying in that bed
till Shibui there's no way we're gonna
get that story Mike Wallace is probably
checking into the Pine River Hyatt right
now this dress reduction thing is doing
your world a good Wow take the phone
Frank give me my clothes I gotta get out
of here what's going on that call that
was my source at Pine River he says he's
ready to talk on camera I've got to get
a fill crew and get our me stuff it your
gown is going to ride up
let me suggest something here what if I
take the crew and meet this guy yes
that's a great idea
wait a minute wait a minute I can do the
interview and I'll go through your
background material work with your
editor why is I've got tons of material
on Pine River it's all over the place
I'm the only one who can understand they
now come on Murphy Frank and I can
handle this it's a matter of fact I'll
write the copy myself trust me
this is for your own good I know I know
and I appreciate your concern Myles I
really do
could you adjust these pillows for me
sure now listen to me nurse Nancy you're
gonna be here forever and I know where
you live if you don't let me work on
this story all the bed rest in the world
isn't going to help you capiche Jerry
back it up a little I missed that last
bit no no no too far too far go forward
I said forward no not so much go forward
go backward faster slower you know
you're starting to sound like my wife
just hurry up and do it Jerry
yep it's uncanny
I need a total on the cuts we've made so
far Marv I need that copy jeez what is
that the Vulcan death grip take it easy
physical therapy is not my usual job
okay nobody else wants to come in here
two of my nurses transferred to the
morgue for some peace and quiet
understaffed just another example of the
garbage I have to deal with look why
don't you take a break okay have some
coffee maybe later we can talk about
your story I don't need you
Willard Scott is coming in next week for
a hernia operation
[Music]
Murphy did you know there's a picture of
you at the nurse's station with a
hypodermic needle through it no I did
that
the nurses are drawing extra blood just
for the fun of it and ask people to run
a few errands do some xeroxing and I
think you're difficult sooner did you
see my rough cut your man's testimony
was incredible when we add this thing
the country's gonna be screaming for an
investigation of Pine River
it wasn't bad Frank but it's got to be a
lot better now I started making some
notes not bad it's terrific it was
terrific until you cut half my
background fuck you need at that time
for the interview that's where all the
heat is the audience won't understand
the interview without the background
it's a guys guys guys we're a team here
we can work this out yeah and another
thing I spend a lot of time on this copy
I don't appreciate it being completely
rewritten
oh excuse me lillian hellman i shortened
some sentences i think we're being a
little picky here don't you these are
all valid points I'm not a picky person
oh for God's sake they cut my sandwich
diagonally again
[Laughter]
not choke on it
look Murphy you've been through a lot in
the last few days pain frustration
boredom can't be easy for a fire horse
like you to hear the bell and not be
able to leave the station to see the
rabbit and not be able to run the track
to smell the what tell you
with Frank's God are you he looked at
your footage he saw my edit anything
sound right I don't believe that Murphy
you've been through a lot in the last
few days and I think after you've had a
little time you'll be able to see things
more clearly I guess you're right miles
maybe I'm going a little stir-crazy you
think you could help me with that
blanket you can't do this to me you
think I won't be able to do anything
about it well I'm not going on in here I
want you to get the police beats who are
trying to kill me
well you're gonna have to get in line
nurse Hawking organized the lottery
and look at all this equipment now one
of the lights in the operating room kept
dimming all right how about this place
clear it out
I want all distractions kept to a
minimum okay if we gotta go we gotta go
fine with me so I Murphy guess this
means we won't be seeing you in lovin
bata class that's right
slink away just like the Jekyll's you
are my carts are all your head that's it
that larynx of yours is definitely
coming out secrets have a way of leaking
out one final note this story would not
have been possible without the efforts
of my colleague Murphy Brown yeah yeah
yeah so for Jim dial who's on vacation
Murphy Brown is in the hospital and
Corky Sherwood who's here this is Frank
Fontana
shut up America
[Music]
this is where they've been hiding yet
Eldon what are you doing here this may
come as a shock to you but I just came
to visit yeah I bought you something
our captain's somehow roses didn't seem
appropriate Eldon this may come as a
shock to you but I kind of missed you
you know you know if you telling me what
I said this I'll deny it I miss you too
thanks for coming I could use a friendly
face so when you gonna get sprung from
this joint I don't know my doctor isn't
speaking to me anymore I think he went
into real estate anyway all he kept
saying was you have to relax you have to
take it easy how can I take it easy I
just watched our show they took my story
Eldon
they took my story away and they did it
all wrong ah I see you know I had a
similar experience a few months ago I
got a request into a job downtown it's
an interesting project but you in the
middle of that baseboard crisis I was
forced to recommend balm from its paints
it killed me to do it but I must say
that he did an outstanding job
he used a stippling technique did I miss
the world here Eldon if the next time
there's a story I can't do I should call
Bob and Ed's pain
no that's not what I'm saying all I'm
saying is I walk around I see walls
everywhere walls I want to paint like
this one look at the brush hair in that
thing it's disgusting
but what am I gonna do I can't paint
every wall in town though I do have some
interesting ideas for the Library of
Congress I did it without me Eldon and
that's what hurts know what hurts is
they did it okay I hate that I hate it
out you're not getting this are you if
you don't give it up a little bit you're
gonna be in here forever
and you don't want that believe me I
heard those notes is talking they hate
you okay you've made your point
all right now how about a nice game of
chess you know I lost one of the Kings
so I've been using the little top hat
from our Monopoly game prepare to lose

saying was you have to relax you have to
take it easy how can I take it easy I

they took my story away and they did it
all wrong ah I see you know I had a
similar experience a few months ago I
got a request into a job downtown it's
an interesting project but you in the
middle of that baseboard crisis I was
forced to recommend balm from its paints
it killed me to do it but I must say
that he did an outstanding job
he used a stippling technique did I miss
the world here Eldon if the next time
there's a story I can't do I should call
Bob and Ed's pain

saying is I walk around I see walls
everywhere walls I want to paint like
this one look at the brush hair in that
thing it's disgusting
but what am I gonna do I can't paint
every wall in town though I do have some
interesting ideas for the Library of
Congress I did it without me Eldon and
