St. Elsewhere (1982–1988): Season 2, Episode 11 - Blizzard - full transcript

A blizzard cripples the city, causing Craig to be MIA. Ehrlich seeks counseling on his relationship with Roberta. A computer hacker breaks into the system, causing problems with patient diagnoses. The roof caves in on Cavanero.

Shirley, open up the Cabinet for me
will you, please?

Previously on St Elsewhere...

I never should have released drugs
to without a prescription.

I'd like you to come up
and work on this floor.

I'm being punished so you look good.

I think I'm...

In love?

You're going to want me to have kids.

Victor, I'm afraid I'm confused.

Watch this,
just broke into your computer.

This man has access
to all our records,



accounting, maintenance,
patient files, you name it.

Tonight, on St Elsewhere...

Any news of Dr Craig?

No, nothing,
I called the state police.

Dr Craig! Frostbite.

Lancaster suspects some genius
entered his programme

into our system.

Sorry, Mr Jeffries, almost done.

Fishing trip's going to be a heap
a lot harder with just one leg.

You can do it.

When I came back later to check
his vital signs he was cold.

It was probably a
reaction to the Demerol,

why wasn't that
noted in the computer?

He's proposing marriage to you.



I accept.

So do I.

Mazel tov.

Nine inches at Logan airport.

16 inches at Bluehills Conservatory.

No letup in sight.

PHONE RINGS

Unless you absolutely must
travel today, don't.

Hello?

Oh, hi, Donald.
How do you like the weather?

Uh huh.

No, he's getting dressed.

You're kidding!

Nothing like arriving in style.

Sure, I'll let him know.

OK, bye-bye.

Ellen, Sam's fireplace is
filled with snow.

I noticed, I noticed.

Meaning you forgot to close
the damper.

We've been through this before.

Not only is it messy,
it sends the heating bills sky-high.

Well, you're the one that wanted
a nice, roaring fire.

That's last night, and just coffee.

Did you hear the weather report?

It's the worst storm in six years,

it's about a foot
and a half in some places.

Why don't you stay home today?

Because I've got two angina patients
waiting for me at St Eligius.

Well, according to the radio,
all the streets are in lousy shape.

That's news? They hadn't been
in good shape since Eisenhower.

Donald Westphall called,

said the city had arranged for an
army truck to pick you doctors up,

it's going to be here about 10.30.

Now, that's almost
two hours from now,

the last time I wrote a convoy
was Korea, 1952.

Not an experience I want to repeat.

I'll drive.

Well, at least call me
when you get there.

DOOR SLAMS

So I won't worry.

Look at her, I've never been
so torn up over anyone before.

You Americans always stress the
physical, give the metaphysical try.

Like what, read
the I Ching together?

No, no, no.

The Great Mandala is hovering.

Mutual happiness can be yours,
the karma is right.

It is, are you serious?

Yes.

OK, OK, buddy. Here goes.

Roberta, let's have lunch.

Victor, I can't. I'm working.

But it's my treat, honey,

and besides, besides,
the Great Mandala is ours.

Pardon me?

Our mutual true being,
we can be so happy.

Victor, how can you say that?

Whenever we're together
I make you crazy.

OK, but now the karma
is totally right.

Victor, I haven't understood
a single word you've said.

Now, is that any
basis for a relationship?

Dr Weiss is right, bye.

Weiss, if Weiss knew everything
he wouldn't be working here.

And you, thanks a lot, pal,

I hope your karma gets
stuck in the parking lot.

What?

OK, now, take it easy,
take it easy, watch your leg.

OK, put your weight on me, easy.

Oh, you're on my foot,
you're on my foot.

Oh, sorry about that.

You gaining weight?

Yeah.

Ah, you see, there's nothing to it.

It was a lot easier at your place.

Well, you're the one who dragged me
to the hospital.

You think I get commission
on every patient I collect?

Your leg was getting worse,

cellulitis is nothing to fool around
with, you had to come in.

I didn't get out of bed just to sit
around here all day. Let's go.

I shouldn't be doing this,
you're supposed to lie still.

And stay cooped up in this room?

Harrison, it's only been two days.

Well, it seems a whole lot longer
than that to me.

Oh, boy, if Dr Armstrong catches me

I'm going to be head of the bed
pan collection.

Now, you warm enough?

Yeah.

And you sure your leg doesn't hurt?

I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.

That snow out there is something,
isn't it? Wish I was out there in it.

Harrison, that's not a couple
of snowflakes, it's a blizzard.

You sound just like your dad,

the moment winter come
he wanted to hibernate too.

And he was a worry wart.

Oh, so, you saying I complain a lot?

Yesterday you got bent out of shape

cos they wouldn't let
you have a day off.

Well, I just wanted to
spend it with you.

You spent it with me anyhow.

Luther, where are you going?

Oh, I was looking for you,
Dr Armstrong.

Listen, you want you to take
Mr Jefferies back to his room now.

Right, right, got you.

Told you she'd find us.

She likes me,
she just hates to admit it.

Hello, Jack.

I know this is a crazy day,
what with the blizzard and all.

What is it?

My parents at me to come home
and visit for a while.

Good idea, I think you should.

You know, you've been so good
about rearranging things,

I don't want to cause any
more trouble with my schedule.

Why don't you let me
worry about that, OK?

I haven't been to Seattle for more
than a week in the past ten years.

They're dying to see Pete.

Take care of him for a while,

probably do a better job
than I have.

Now, come on, you haven't done
so badly.

You all right?

Huh?

See you later.

I told you before, Mrs Bastino,
the window stays closed.

Now, please, get back into bed, OK?

You doctors are all alike.

I'm a nurse.

Same difference.

Makes you long for the gore
of the emergency room, doesn't it?

At least there aren't any
windows there.

Look on the bright side, Shirley,

the hearing for 's
entrapment case comes up next week,

once you're cleared the nursing board
will send you back down to ER.

I hope.

Thanks, Mrs Fetachgo, I'll come see
you tomorrow, and, uh, stay warm.

You may be right, it's not even
the big issue any more,

whether I fail to keep an accurate
medication count.

Then what is it?

I did a lot of good work down in ER,

but I get the feeling
Helen Rosenthal doesn't remember it.

Well, why don't you talk to her?

You think?

Well, it couldn't hurt.

Morning.

Ah, I don't believe kids nowadays,

I was halfway up Colmar Avenue
starting up from the light,

and five of them jumped out
and grabbed onto my rear bumper.

It's called sketching, you hang on,

then when the car takes off you
slide along your feet.

It's like waterskiing.

I noticed, I turned the corner
and they jumped off and slid off.

Looks like fun,
if a little dangerous.

Ah, Helen.

What's all this about?

Oh, Lucy was adding to the files
last night when it just stopped.

Did anyone think to call
Walter Lankau Deficiency Systems?

BOTH: No.

But before the computer quit,

Lucy found these names
floating around by themselves,

no records or histories.

Garfield, Wilson, Adams, Grant.

Presidents?

# You'll find the sand dunes
and salty air

# Quaint little villages
here and there. #

I don't believe this weather.

I don't believe this singing,

I wonder if the sergeant upfront
knows where we're going.

See you later.

Bye, ladies.

WOMAN SIGHS

I thought changing the password
meant that no hackers could break in

from the outside.

Well, Walter Lankau suspects

that some genius entered
his own programme into our system.

Apparently they think it's loads
of fun to infiltrate hospitals,

corporations, you name it.

Any chance we can get Lankau
over here today?

Oh, no, I don't think so,
not with these roads.

Anyway, he said
that the only deterrent

is a foolproof security system
which runs around $10,000.

Oh, wonderful, why not(?)
That's a bargain, right?

I don't know, maybe it was
doomed from the beginning.

You're not going to blame
it on fate, are you?

I mean, nobody knows
if there is such a thing.

Oh, yeah? How many successful
relationships you know

that got started
during a rinse cycle?

Well, that doesn't necessarily...

No, no, no, hear me out.

This whole romance business
is for the birds, OK?

I've made every attempt
to be unfettered and un-phoney.

I even hid in her closet
until she came home,

then I burst out, completely naked.

Wrong choice, huh?

(SNICKERS) Wrong choice.

Do me one favour, OK?
Because I've tried being liberated,

I've played Mr Natural,
I've put on the dog.

I even took a shot at proposing.

I screwed all of them up,
so will you help?

How?

Talk to Roberta for me, convince her
that I really care. Be my middleman.

No, I can't do a thing like that.

Will you talk to Weiss, then,
one therapist to another?

That's kosher.

I don't know, I'll...

I'll think that over, OK?

OK.

What, you're leaving?

Well, because of the blizzard,
all my sessions are cancelled.

You're lucky,
you live only four blocks from here.

My apartment's halfway
to Rhode Island.

Slides of your baby?

Hello, Fiscus.

So word has it that you're
going to be Cavanero's guest

in the endoscopy suite today.

She said Tony and I could come by
and watch.

You don't seem very excited.

Come to think of it,

you've been kind of out
in left field lately. What's up?

For the past 20 minutes,
I've been hiding in here,

wishing I didn't have to go back
out in the hallway.

It's like the rest
of the hospital's at 78,

and I'm still at 33-and-a-third.

Jack, it-it takes time to readjust.

How long?

Sometimes I think everything's
just slipping through my fingers.

I screw up one case after another.
The Brennan kid died,

I blew the diagnosis of Janet Dalton.

I don't know. So many things.

Ah, I gotta go.

You know, it happens
to the best of us.

One day I stopped being funny.
I'm serious.

I lost my timing, my sick sense
of humour, the whole ball of wax.

The pressure was incredible.

I mean, everyone expected me to be
zany and I just couldn't do it.

I was too depressed.

So what snapped you out of it?

Luisa Renault.

One afternoon we're all over each
other and she stops to ask me

why I find her attractive.
So I told her.

"You have great hair."

"You are a very caring person."

And Road And Track voted you
best ride in 1971.

I think we should move upstream.

You got to be patient, boy,
don't jerk around so much.

Now keep that rod tip up, cos you
gonna lose some if you don't.

I don't think there's any fish here,
just mosquitoes.

There ain't gonna be no fish here
if you don't hush up

and stop scaring them off.

Well, maybe I need a new worm.

(LAUGHS) Worm!

Boy, we're fishing with
grasshoppers, that's better bait.

Ah...

You got one, you got one!

I do?

Yeah, you got yourself a bass,
that's a ten pounder.

Oh. How big was the biggest one
my daddy ever caught?

Oh, your daddy, let's see,
he caught a 29, 30 pounder, boy,

but you're talking about somebody
that could do some fishing.

He could!

And he didn't want this filament rod
or any of that fancy stuff.

Just give him a plain old rod and
he'd use that old fishing know-how.

Well, this is at least 30.

All right, but you got to
give him room, give him some room,

give him slack now!
You're going the wrong...

That's a boy!

Watch my lines!

(LAUGHS) I told you to give him
some room, didn't I?

Tough break, Luther.

How are you feeling?

Oh, all right, I suppose.

Any pain in your leg?

Mm, some.

I'm going to have to check the
dressing and take another culture.

All right. Do you ever do
any fishing, Dr Armstrong?

Once with my brother.

I didn't like it very much.

Well, maybe you never learned
how to read the water

and find out where the fishes is!
(LAUGHS)

How do you do that?

Oh, you got to use your fish sense.

You see, you got to know
what the fish is seeing, hearing

and thinking. Just like I do
with my pigeon, Julius.

Soon as the snow falls,

me and this boy here going up
to Lake Winnipesaukee

to do some serious fishing.
You're welcome to come along,

if you want to.
Where's that?

Lake Winnipesaukee? That's the
biggest lake in New Hampshire.

(GROANS)

Sorry, Mr Jeffries. I'm almost done.

Finished.

I'll send the nurse down
to apply a fresh dressing.

How's it look?

We'll know more
when I get the culture results.

Well, is it any better?

The cellulitis isn't too good.

Mr Jeffries,
if there's no change in a few days,

we may have to consider
what we talked about.

I'll stop by late this afternoon.

Good fishing, huh?

Fishing's trip's going to be...
be a lot harder with one leg.

We can do it.

Are you with me, Jack?

Yeah, I think so.

Keep your eyes peeled.

See the GE junction?

Yeah, it's inflamed, isn't it?

Good contractions. No inflammation.

Would you say the stomach
is hyperaemic?

Uh-huh.

Yes.

Blood vessels dilated,
rugal folds normal.

Considerable scarring
in the duodenal bulb.

Any bleeding?

I...don't see any.

Well, minimal.

You're one step closer, Mrs Campion.

Get some rest.

Kyle, I'll be right back.
Start withdrawing the tube.

Three days of tests
and I still don't have a clue.

Now what?

(SIGHS) Maybe I'll bring Wylie in
for a consult.

I'll go to Westphall.

You really want to do that?

What would you suggest?
Invent a disease for her?

No.

But don't you want to make
the diagnosis on your own?

A little teamwork doesn't hurt.

All that matters is that the patient
gets better,

not who gets the credit.

I guess you're right.

There are worse things that can
happen than not solving a case

by yourself.

(LAUGHS) Like what?

The roof could cave in.

Sorry I wasn't more help back there.

(MAN ON RADIO) ..in areas
far removed from city centre,

which is having enough
troubles of its own.

Donald!

Hear anything from Mark?

Not yet, but we've got an emergency.

A city bus just skidded on the ice
and overturned on the street.

Oh, no.

Most of the passengers
are just shook,

but a few have cuts and bruises.
This is the nearest shelter,

so they're going to be
walking in here any minute.

How many?

I think 30, half of them are kids.

All right, let's put them
in the admissions lobby.

We'll need blankets, hot soup.

And I'll check and see
how many cots we have.

Thanks.

(MAN ON RADIO) While Boston copes
with record snowfalls,

the southern coast of Maine and the
Portsmouth area of New Hampshire

are facing highly dangerous roads
caused by sleet, snow...

I'm never going to find
those records!

Keep trying.

I've got to give my eyes a rest.

Helen, can we talk for a minute?

Yeah, sure, come on in.

What's the matter?

You don't trust me.

Why do you say that?

Just because I didn't keep an
accurate medication count one night,

you had me transferred from the ER.

And now you make me stay behind
the counter,

so I never get to deal
with any patients.

I feel more like a receptionist
than anything else.

Just a minute, Shirley,
do you want the cold, hard facts?

At the head nurses' meeting,

the majority of them wanted you
to go up before the review board.

You know, I almost wish I had.

At least I would've had a chance
to defend myself.

Maybe I was wrong
to go out on a limb,

but I told them I thought
it would be a terrible waste.

So they agreed to let it slide
if you came up here.

I'm a good nurse, Helen.

You are. You've just got
a lot to learn.

One more question.

Will I ever get to go back
to the ER?

Yeah. When you're ready.

TEARING AND CREAKING

RUMBLING

You think the arm's broken?

I hope it's only a sprain. I'd get
an AP and lateral on that elbow.

What about her head?

It's going to need stitches,
for sure. And a Skull Series.

And I want a neuro check
every two hours through the night.

OK. Go easy, fellas. Come on.

Wait till maintenance sees this.

BABY CRYING

OK. Hey, it's OK, it's OK.

I can't find this file for Dr Burke.
OK, baby. Ssh.

Here, let me have him,
you're doing that all wrong.

Oh, really(?)
I have raised kids of my own.

Yeah, but I was the oldest,
and I helped raise three sisters

and two brothers.
Think we need a little walk.

Yeah. Women think they're
the only mothers around.

Come on, Petey.

Ah, here it is!

You're welcome(!)

Helen, could I see Mr Jeffries'
old chart, please?

Jeffries, Je... Oh.

Maybe we got lucky
and he made it into the computer.

Oh, boy, I have hated this machine
from the start,

and it's been downhill ever since.

Here we go, Jeffries, Harrison,
what do you want to know?

Any medication allergies?

No.

He still seems to be in pain,

the tablets aren't doing
the trick any more.

If he's not resting comfortably
in a couple of hours,

I want you to give him 100 milligrams
Demerol and 50 of Vistaril IM.

Yeah.

OK.
OK.

Thanks.

Welcome.

Victor.

Hello, Victor.
Have you seen Dr Craig yet?

Craig's late?

Only about five hours.

Wow, a chink in the old armour.
Even the mighty fall.

Now don't gloat.
So when's the wedding?

Huh?

You and Roberta.
Have you set the date?

I never want to hear
the word date again.

Harrison, you awake?

Yeah, come on in.

Ah...

(LAUGHS) Who's this you got here?

It's Pete Morrison.
His dad's one of the residents.

Well, come here.
You little rascal, you!

Look at you!
Tell me something good.

You know I got a grandson
who's about your size?

He's back down in Carolina. Huh?

And you know what,
he growed up not too far

from where this boy's daddy
and I growed up.

Yeah, real mill country.

Oh, boy, me and your daddy
used to have some good times.

Yeah. He was quite a guy.

I'll tell you something.

The older you get,
the more you miss people.

They die...

a lot of them move away.

They die and they move away.

There you go, you take care
of yourself, little fella.

(GROANS)

Too cold?

Yeah, most of the time I get
this strange kind of cold, you know?

Yeah, well...

must be nice weather
in Carolina all year round.

Now you hush that, boy.

Don't go bringing that up again,
because I promised your daddy

the day before he died
that I'd keep my eyes on you.

Now if I just upped
and went back down south,

who knows what you'd be up to?

Yeah, but you'd always know somehow.

Yeah, but my next birthday,
I'll be getting on up there in age.

When you get to a certain point,
people stop needing you as much.

I need you.

That's nice.

Say goodbye, Pete.

Bye.

MUSIC PEALS FROM BAR

One sherry.

Thank you.

Excuse me. Does your payphone work?

Not since the '67 Series.

Why, what happened?

The Red Sox lost.

See that guy over there
playing pool, Chuck DeMita?

He tore the receiver
right off the wall.

Amazing man.

Yeah. Cheers.

Oh, I don't believe it.

Hey, there is fuzz on this table.

No, there's no way my ball misses

unless there's something wrong
with this felt.

Hey, you!

What do you say? Fuzz or no fuzz?

Fuzz, definitely.

Hear that, Mara?
Third world, he votes for fuzz.

I saw you come in.
What, are you stuck or something?

Yes, my wheels are spinning.

Ah. Foreign car, huh?

Hey, you're not Iranian, are you?
I mean, that Ayatollah...

Indian.

Oh, good, yeah.

Well, how about a game
of three-ball?

Um...

I don't know how to play pool,
I'm afraid.

Aw, come on,
you gotta try everything once.

Hey, Mara! A round of drinks
for me and my buddy here.

Come on, Mrs Pierce.

Stop it.

Oh, what now?

OK. I just typed in Charlene Pierce.

She's in for a hysterectomy.

But these records say she's got
a chronic kidney condition.

Well, you sure she wasn't misfiled?

I typed her in myself.
OK, wait a minute.

COMPUTER BEEPS

Oh, you're right.

I know Mrs Grant, half of her
profile has been deleted.

OK.

No information from this computer
is to be considered reliable

until further notice.

How do we manage?

Call the other floors and tell them

to keep records by hand until they
hear from us. I'll get Dr Westphall.

HEAVY BREATHING

Fresh air will do you good.

I have such a headache.

Sick people give off fumes.

You got to get a lot of air,
let nature take its course.

Like pneumonia?

Oh, you'll feel better in no time.

Believe it or not,
they wanted that window closed.

Boy, I hate doctors!

How's our prize casualty?

Normal people have coronaries.

And you get a roof on your head.

Mm.

Actually, this is
a professional visit.

First, I'll be covering for you
for a few days while you're laid up.

Wayne, that's sweet of you.

I know. And second,
I need to do a complete physical,

so if you'll just slip off
that nightgown, um...

Drop dead.

You tell him, lady.

Now you know what it's like in the
prone position. Just co-operate.

If you try anything...

I'm just going to check your lungs.

Use a stethoscope.

Don't talk, just breathe.

(EXHALES)

Again.

(EXHALES)

And again.

(EXHALES) That's enough.

Your chest is in great shape.

It's my arm that's broken.

Well, one has to be thorough.

Now, if you can just give us
a urine sample, please.

My right arm's fine, Fiscus.

As to reflexes...

They're fine too.

Would you like to see
where I can put my knee?

You know, you're starting
to sound better already.

And you feel good to me too.

Take your stethoscope and go.

Relax, Doctor. Remember,
your beeper is in good hands.

Doctor?!

That's right.
And don't even touch that window.

CHATTERING

CHILDREN LAUGHING

Oh, did you get those flowers
for Dr Cavanero's room?

Yeah. But she was sleeping,

and the other lady in the room
was a real pain.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down, son,
this isn't the Kentucky Derby.

One. I said one!

Can't you go any faster, Jack?

Guess what I just heard
on the radio.

St Eligius is closed.

(SNICKERS) Really(?)
Any news of Dr Craig?

No, nothing.

According to police, the problem is
that the visibility's down to zero.

We're down to one
miserable doughnut.

Joan Halloran's trying to get
a truckload of food over,

it should be here soon.

I hope it's nourishing, the last
thing these kids need is more sugar.

Anything I can do?

Here. Let me take care of this.

Hey, get down!

No, I want to use your phone!

Hey, hey, all right, knock it off.

He cut in line!

OK. What's the matter?

I want to call home.
I just got to try again.

So do I, but I'm not crying
about it.

Shut up.

Hey, that's enough.

Come on.

Why don't you take a deep breath
and relax?

Slowly.

(EXHALES)

OK, now what's the matter?

I tried to call Mommy
and Daddy on the phone.

But there was no answer.
And it didn't give my dime back.

And I'm just scared
something happened to them.

I'll bet you a dime they're OK.

What's your name?

Tucker.

Ah, it's busy.

Well, we'll wait right here
until we reach them.

Really?

Sure, Tucker.

We're all in this together.

I know blizzards are scary,
but they got their good sides too.

Most times
they bring people together.

Yeah. My dad always shovels
Mrs Shivelli's driveway

every time it snows.

Hello, Mom?

Come on, Mrs Parks, be a sport.

Right now, Dr Fiscus, that is
the farthest thing from my mind!

You mean to tell me
you've never trayed?

I've never even run. Give them back!

Look, I was the 1966 sledding champ
of Washington Heights,

but the traying sensation
was something else.

It's twice the speed of a sled,
you spin around,

there's wind in your ears.

You sound like my husband
on the turnpike.

Believe me, children love it

and we've got several thousand
in the lobby right now.

If you don't let me have these,

I will send all the kids
to the cafeteria.

Oh...

You'll dry my trays off?

I'll even throw in a free check-up.

Just the trays, thank you.

Excuse me. Dr Fiscus.

Hi, Roberta.

Hi. Listen, you know Victor
better than anyone, right?

I mean, you lived together
and all and...

Look, Dr Ehrlich and I...

This was just between apartments.

Well, but you are friends.
I need some advice.

OK.

What's the matter, dear?

I seem to drive Victor crazy.

Maybe it's not you.

Maybe his food groups are unbalanced.

Food groups?

Poor diet can ruin any disposition.

Does Dr Ehrlich eat bacon?

I'm not sure. I mean, we've never
really had breakfast together.

Oh, cholesterol is the kiss of death.

Do you eat fruit and vegetables
at the same meal?

Sometimes.

That could do it, that could do it.

Some are incompatible.

Like...like Victor and me.

If you want to be happy,
eat right or eat out.

I see.

Well...

thank you.

Glad she took my advice.

Don't you lose my trays!

See, the problem with cowboy pool
is once you hit 45,

then you can't sink your own ball.
So now you gotta go for billiards.

I remember once in '75,
I was playing Spud Simpkins.

Spud says to me, he says, "Goopy..."

My name is Chuck,
but my friends, they call me Goopy.

What do they call you?

Oh, Vijay Kochar.

Oh, yeah(!)
What does the VJ stand for?

Um, Virendra Kumar...

Oh, yeah.

Anyway, back in '72, Goopy...

Hey, we need some help here!

CHATTERING

Dr Craig.

You know this guy?

Yes. We work together. St Eligius.
I know him well.

You're a doctor?

Out of the way, please.

Extremities too cold.

Frostbite.

Hypothermia.
You did well to bring him in here.

Kochar?

What happened, Jay?

His car was wrapped around
a light pole down the block.

He must've been out cold
a long time.

Don't worry, Dr Craig,
you're going to be all right.

(GROANS)

Your breath's terrible.

Whisky, please.

Thank you.

Dr Craig?

Just enough, please. Come.

(COUGHS)

Thank you.

Excuse me.

What the hell's he doing?

Dr Craig, listen to me.

Rest your feet on my stomach.

Kochar...

you're drunk.

It is the warmest part of my body,
you must save your toes.

So do as I say. Please.

Come on.

What happened?

Mr Jeffries woke at 5:40
and said he was in pain.

I gave him 100 milligrams
of Demerol and 50 of Vistaril,

as per your instructions.

When I came back a half-hour later
to check his vitals,

he was cold.

Then it was probably
an allergic reaction to the Demerol.

Why wasn't that allergy
noted in the computer?

Because the computer's
malfunctioning.

How can you blame the machine, Helen?
That's a really lame excuse!

Grant, Charlene Pierce,
Garfield. Adams.

Harrison Jeffries.

(WHISTLES)

Si. You're just the man
I want to see.

Can it wait, Michael?

My carburettor died on me,
I've got an 8:30 session.

It'll only take a minute.

I wanted to ask you some questions
about Roberta Sloan.

Are you interested in Roberta?

Very.

Michael,
she's been through an awful lot,

I'm not sure she's ready
for another relationship.

No, no, not me,
it's for Victor Ehrlich.

Oh, him?

Yeah.

If there was ever a guy
head-over-heels in love,

it's Ehrlich. Those two
are made for each other.

Do you really think so?

Oh, yeah, I'm positive.

Besides, I don't know how many more
sessions I can take with him!

You know, Pete...

You and I have got something
in common.

I lost my daddy a long time ago.

And you just lost your mom.

Well, when you're on your own...

I don't know.

Maybe I'll still get up
to Winnipesaukee.

I can fish pretty good by now.

BABY GURGLES

Yeah.

But maybe...

..maybe-Maybe I could still use
a couple of lessons.

If you wanted to.

Then...

..then I...

Damn.

You sure you don't mind?

No problem, I'll be glad to help.

I just figure Goodwill
could use Nina's clothes.

Hey, what time you want me
to stop by?

Around noon.

I'll be there.

You'll bring some boxes?

Bye.

Bye-bye. No, as soon as
they cleared the street,

they got the bus passengers
out of here.

I have never been so glad
to see a snow plough in my life.

Ira, how late did Erin stay up?

What? Oh, Ira,
she's leading you around by the nose.

OK, I'll see you soon. Bye-bye.

Hello.

Can I help you?

I got your message.

Victor.

You know Dr Weiss.

Yeah, I do. I'm in kind of a hurry.

Dr Ehrlich, be candid.

Is it true that you harbour
a fear of authority figures?

This is ridiculous,
how much have you told him?

Everything.

I had to, I was abreacting.

You were what?

Releasing tension
through verbalising.

What a load of...

Ah-ah. Don't say anything,
just answer my questions.

Aren't all of your colourful shirts
and ties and surfboards

all part of an elaborate
defence mechanism?

Why repress so much,
why not give more?

I give plenty.

Ah, yes.

I understand that when you gave
blood recently, you passed out.

This is ridiculous,
I feel like I'm exposing myself.

Ah. Once was enough.

I don't blame you for
your confusion. It's in the genes.

Well, then background
does play a role.

Of course.

You're from a main line family,
you're upper-class,

you're respectable. He's a...

I'm from California.

I rest my case.

Do you love him
in spite of everything?

A lot.

And you?

A hell of a lot.

(LAUGHS) I'm up for it if you are.

Me too.

Up for what?

He's proposing marriage to you.

I accept.

And so do I.

Mazel tov!

You're lucky I don't charge
for matchmaking.

(GIGGLES)

# Matchmaker, matchmaker
Make me a match

# Da-da-da-da... #

It was only supposed to be a game.

I wanted to see how many presidents'
names I could find.

There was nothing to do yesterday.

And my school had a snow day.

And my mom wouldn't let me
go outside.

Margie...

the names in our computer
aren't just words on a screen.

Each one of them represents
a real, living person,

people who depend on us
to make them well.

In order to do that, we have to keep
complete and accurate records.

I got scared.

So I tried to put the names back.

But I got confused.

Margie, I called your parents.
They're on their way over here.

And when I get a chance
to talk to them,

then we'll see what has to be done.

Did someone really die?

(SOBS) Oh, no, I'm sorry!

(SOBS) I'm sorry.

You took your feet out, Dr Craig.

Where did you put my socks?

25 more minutes.

I don't need a nurse.

Dr Craig, this is more
than a medical question.

It is omniscient linking.

Yesterday I gave you
the kiss of life.

Wasn't rubbing my toes enough?

I speak metaphorically, of course.

Have you considered that my taking
refuge in that low-down dive

was no accident?
That it was pre-ordained?

That it was fate
that brought you there?

I'm an Episcopalian, Kochar,
I don't have time for the occult.

(SIGHS) Very well.

I'm going down to the cafeteria.
May I...

No. Just go.

Kochar.

Yes, Dr Craig?

All right, all right.

Get me a roast beef on white,
hold the mayo.

Stat.

Yes, sir.

This is everything
out of the bedroom.

The day Nina died we were in the
middle of...

I said a lot of stupid things.

But not goodbye.

I mean, really say goodbye.

Or thank you...

for coming to Mexico and holding
my hand during med school.

She never complained.

And she hated it there.

If I had been a little bit smarter,

I could've gotten into school
here in the States.

Jack, you ended up with
a residency at St Eligius.

That's not so bad.

Ah, it was a fluke.

What makes you say that?

Because I'm constantly running off
to Auschlander or Westphall.

I can't seem to make a diagnosis
on my own.

You care more about people
than anyone else in the hospital.

Compassion counts as much
as anything else.

I think there's more stuff
in the hall closet.

I'll get them.

What's this?

Hey.

Look what I found.

It was stuck way back on the shelf.

Now when did she get this?

This is everything.

I don't think I could've
done this by myself.

I'm glad I could help out.

Well, thank you.

Guess I'll see you tomorrow.

All right.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Thank you again.

(LAUGHS)
