St. Elsewhere (1982–1988): Season 3, Episode 24 - Cheers - full transcript

My daughter Lizzie, she won't,

she won't be coming home
for the Easter break.

She'll be staying at her
boyfriend's house in Burlington.

She's really clicking into
the school routine very nicely.

She's made a lot of new friends now.

I'm very happy for her.

I've lived in this town all my life.

Raised a family.

And now all of a sudden,
I'm restless.

Nothing seems to satisfy me.

Well, maybe I was unhappy before
and just didn't know it.



It's cold.

A few nights ago,

I had a dream about my son Tommy.

I dreamed about visiting him
over at the family care home.

Only, he wasn't autistic.

And we were throwing a baseball
back and forth, you know,

a father and son game.

And we were talking.

I'm afraid we have to stop for today.

Beginning to feel
we were getting somewhere.

Your time's up. And I've got
another patient coming on the hour.

We can pick up
right here at the next session.

Warren, how's it going in there?

Look, don't get anything wet.



There's a deposit on that costume.

Will you give me helping hand?

You got boxers?

Angela loves them on me.

Don't you lose
something in elasticity?

Would you just button it up?

Don't get ugly now.

This is for a worthy cause.

What? Being centre of
attention of the children's ward?

Suppose they ask me
to do some magic tricks.

I don't know any magic tricks.

You don't have to do
any magic tricks.

All you've got to do
is colour a few eggs,

then show up at the egg hunt and
pass out a few chocolate bunnies.

Chocolate bunnies!

I feel so out of it.

More than usual?

It's the biggest holy weekend of
the year, and I'm the only Pagan.

Lucy, what religion are you?

Greek Orthodox.

It's too strict.
I need something with birth control.

Excuse me.
I'm here to visit the sick.

Were you looking
for someone in particular?

I'll start with the iffy ones.

I'd hate for the great deceiver
to get them first.

We only allow friends and
relatives in to see the patients.

But I am their saviour.

As in God?

In the flesh.

Really?
Is it the end of the world already?

This isn't my second coming.

Spring is all wrong
for an apocalypse.

Want to give us a hint
how much time's left?

Put it this way. Don't buy, rent.

Old joke.

Old jokes are the best.

You should know.

Victor, go after him!

I'll call security.

Sorry.

What are you doing?

I'm looking for the Messiah.

And I'm beginning
to think that you're a 100%

certifiable chucklehead.

Betty, I thought you'd like
to decorate an Easter egg.

Thanks, Mrs Auschlander,
I don't need that.

Why do you say that?

I tried drawing a while ago.
I didn't do so good.

But the Easter Bunny
thought you'd be able to help.

This isn't just
an ordinary Easter egg.

This is the special golden egg.

You know what that is?

There's only one in the whole bunch.

Want to give it a try?

What are you doing to the baby? >

You had to do something to him. It's
all right, don't worry, don't worry.

OK. Oh...

That's it for this boy.

I'm not about to hang
around making kids cry.

Why you do that? It's OK, Frankie.

It's OK. Oh...

Hello.

Oh, hello, dear.

What time will you be finished?

We still have to get things
ready for tomorrow's Seder,

Sunday's Easter service,
the egg hunt...

Isn't there somebody else
in the Women's Auxiliary

who can help you?
Where is Mrs Jesmond?

The Bahamas.

I've made plans for tonight.
Dinner at Lockover's.

Kick up our heels at the Parker
House and stay over at the Ritz.

I've already made reservations.

Daniel, I... I don't feel up to it.

Mrs Auschlander!

I want to help the Easter Bunny.

Oh, good.

Save some time for me.

Now, here are the paints.

Looks good. Excuse me.

Hi.

What are you doing here?
I thought you'd left for the weekend.

Those DRG reports, I can never
seem to stay on top of them.

Why don't you set up a cot
and sleep here?

Mark, if I don't do the work,
nobody will.

Oh, come on.
Fact is, you've no place to go.

Lizzy's with her boyfriend,

Tommy's at the Borgmans',

and the only thing you have waiting
at home for you is a frozen dinner.

Hey! You missed a spot.

I know something
that will cheer you up.

Guess who I'm seeing tomorrow.

I'll give you a hint.
Brilliant heart surgeon.

William de Vries?

No, he lives in Salt Lake City.
Guess Again.

Mark, I really don't know.

Boy, you're no fun these days.

My mentor, Dr David Domedion.

Chief of surgery
when I was a resident.

He's up from Sarasota
to see his daughter.

I thought he was dead.

What made you think that?

I don't know. The way you're
always going on about him, I guess.

Donald!

A man doesn't have
to be dead to be admired.

Holy mackerel!

The kingdom of heaven
is like leaven.

Which a woman took and hid in three
measures till all was leavened.

The kingdom of heaven
is like a treasure.

Hidden in a field
which a man finds and hides.

And for joy over it, goes and sells
all he has and buys that field.

That should clear things up.

You understand,
I'm speaking in parables here.

Why don't I just heal someone?
Who's first?

Sir, can we talk
in here for a moment?

Sir, you can't go around telling
people that you'll heal them.

Well, he does.

He's a doctor.

I am the son of man.

Jesus.

Yes, Axelrod.

He knows my name.

It's on your ID tag.
Do you live here in Boston?

In Bethlehem.

The Holy Land?

New Hampshire.
A little town outside Franconia.

I've come to Boston
to celebrate the Passover.

Why Boston?

Thought I'd catch
the Celtics at the Garden.

Larry Bird is a monster
around play-off time.

Ah.

Oh.

Mrs Auschlander?

Oh, I can't breathe.
I'm having chest pains.

Give me that wheelchair, please.
Quickly. I'll sit you down here.

Ah.

Take it easy.

I think I'm having a heart attack.

Normally, the aortic opening
in your heart looks like this.

About five centimetres. However,
the angiogram we did yesterday

indicates that yours
has been reduced to
less than two centimetres.

It's possible
this is aortic sclerosis.

Daniel, I think you
are grasping at straws.

More likely it was caused by
Katharine's rheumatic fever.

I had that nearly 60 years ago.

Yes, well, the lesions on the aortic
valve were probably minimal then.

But they've gradually scarred
over and they've gotten worse.

That's why you're experiencing
this dizziness,

shortness of breath,
weakness at times of exertion.

I thought that
was called getting old.

Are you saying you want
to replace the valve?

Yes.

We may also have to do
a mitral commissurotomy

if there's significant
stenosis and calcification.

How serious is this operation?

Any time you have major
heart surgery, there's a risk.

But you're strong.

Wait a minute, Mark. We've gone
from an episodic chest pain,

to presuming that Katharine
needs major surgery.

At this point,
I don't see an alternative.

I'll drop by after I get the
results of the echocardiogram.

You can make your decision
then, OK?

I'm sorry.

It's just that...

I realised that ever since I've...

I've had my liver cancer, I've
been obsessed with my own death.

Without regard for you.

Daniel. If I do die,

I want you to know that...

I'm at peace.

I can't go home, I haven't been home.

I want to go home.

What's with the musical chairs?

We're setting up
for the Passover Seder.

Matzot. It's not a cracker
and it's not a bread.

It's a ceremonial food

used in the Seder which commemorates
the Jews' escape from the Pharaoh.

And don't ask me what
happened to Sam the Sham.

Who do they find in a Catholic
hospital to conduct a Seder?

Rabbi Singer.
Craig did a bypass on him last year.

Unfortunately the meds we gave him
caused a kidney stone to develop.

Good thing he passed it in time
for Passover!

Think I'd make a good Jew?

Too happy buying retail.

What a bigoted, anti-Semitic remark.

I'm Jewish, I'm allowed.

Victor, why the sudden
concern with religion?

You don't paddle out past
the breakers on the north shore

without wondering
if there's is a higher power.

I haven't found one
that's right for me.

What are you looking
for in a religion?

Anything I can get out of it.

What about being a Mormon? >

And give 10% to the Church?
Are you crazy?

My aunt's a Christian Scientist.

My aunt was a rocket scientist,
Elliot, just like you.

Victor, I saw your name
on the surgical board.

I guess you'll be assisting Craig
if he operates on Mrs Auschlander.

Yeah, it's a real coup(!)

Don't think I'm not worrying about
everything that can go wrong.

Arrhythmia. Emboli. Stroke.

Tell you what's really got me
on edge -

I'm going to see
Mrs Auschlander's breasts.

Victor!

No, I mean, really.
What if I laugh or make a comment

when I'm doing the Betadine
prep. What if I'm all thumbs?

What if it's
golden cheese all thumbs?

Why do you say things like this?

I have complicated thoughts,
Jack, don't try and change me.

Ehrlich!

It's Craig. He overheard me.
I'm dead. My career's over.

Sir, I can explain.

Dr Kiley
will cover for you this afternoon.

I can't even finish out the day?

What are you babbling about?
I'm paying a visit

to Dr David Domedion
and you're coming with me.

I thought he was dead.

Don't push me, Ehrlich. This is
a rare and privileged opportunity.

So why are you asking me?

If anyone can penetrate that
pasty white coconut of yours,

it's Dr David Domedion.
I've just about given up.

Meet me in the lobby in an hour.
After you hear the way

Dr Domedion can whip a cord,
you'll think you've met God.

Good. I've been meaning
to have a word with him.

Daniel. Daniel.

It's time for Seder.

I want to wait for the
results of the echocardiogram.

Sitting here won't speed things up.

Now, the Auxiliary has gone
to a lot of trouble.

I think that you should put in
an appearance

and let people know that
their work is appreciated.

Katharine, for two years now,

I've resisted giving in
to my liver cancer.

Some even think my fight heroic.

The truth is,

I may only be alive today
because I'm afraid to die.

Hi.

Hi. >

Sorry I'm so late in
stopping by, Katharine.

I was with the
city electrical inspector.

We have some serious safety
violations in the wiring.

Everything taken care of?

No.

How are you feeling?

Oh, I'm fine, Donald.

Do me a favour, will you?

Take Daniel to the Seder service.

And then,
go find a bar and have a pop.

How do I look?

Most handsome.

Happy Passover, Daniel.

Moses and Aaron
went to see the Pharaoh together,

and God promised to help.

Is this where we drink the wine?

No, not yet.

Once inside the temple,

Moses marched up to Pharaoh's throne,

took a deep breath
and demanded the Jews be set free.

The Pharaoh looked down
on Moses and sneered,

"Why should I?

"Show me a miracle!"

Was Moses scared?

Remember, God promised to help.

Moses threw down his shepherd's
staff like God had instructed

and it turned into a snake.

Yuck! Eugh!

"My sorcerers can do that,"

the Pharaoh said, and they did.

Soon there were snakes slithering
all over the temple floor.

Is this where we drink the wine?

But the Pharaoh
still didn't let the Jews go.

That's why Moses brought
the plagues upon Egypt,

like boils, locusts, hail.

Frogs.

Eugh!

Frogs were everywhere.

Pharaoh promise to set the Jews free,

but each time Moses
stopped the plague,

Pharaoh would go back on his word!

Moses was losing hope.

Every day he did his best,
but he seemed to get nowhere.

"God, I'm old and tired.

"I don't enjoy life.

"Don't let me die
until we reach the promised land."

And God said, "I will send
one more disaster. Trust me,

"this is the one. The Pharaoh
will throw you out of the country."

The final plague,

the slaying of the first born,

brought about Israel's release
as God had promised.

This is where we drink the wine!

Almost. We trusted in God for our
deliverance and finally we were free.

The children of Israel
left their unhappiness willingly.

The excitement that lay before them
brought great exultation.

This festival of Passover
is a time of peace and friendship,

of sympathy and fellowship,

of freedom

and deliverance for all.

Join me.

DOORBELL RINGS

Mark!

Hello, Margaret.

Oh, my gosh! You haven't aged a day.

Oh, still flattering me!

I can't tell if you're serious
or just trying to get on
Dad's good side.

Dr Craig a brown-noser?

Margaret, I brought along one of
my residents - Dr Victor Ehrlich.

How do you do?

A pleasure. I feel like
Dr Domedion's the grandfather
I never had.

Margaret, when you asked me
to come by to surprise the Doctor,

you couldn't have
given me a nicer Easter present.

Mark, what I didn't tell you
was my father's been sick.

Dad, look who's here.

Dr Domedion?

When's the last time
we saw each other? 15 years ago?

I have to go to the bathroom.

He doesn't know who I am.

He that believeth in me believeth
not in me, but in him that sent me.

For I have not come to condemn
the world, but to save it.

No way. Shut up, chump.

God's in hell and he don't care.

That's why he don't do spit for us!

God cares.

He loves you.

Yeah?

Ask what ye will
and it shall be done unto you.

I want a roof over my head.

Food in my stomach.
Money in my pocket. I want it now!

You see that? Nothing happens.

Nothing, cos God ain't nothing.

Save the Commandments
and abide in my love.

Let's see what kind of
Messiah you are, chump!

How you doing, gents? Another round?

Sure. Why not?

Nice bar you have here.

With me, any bar where people
don't spit on the floor is nice,

but thanks. My name is Carla.

Hi. Donald.

Daniel.

You guys from around here?
No, no, wait.

Let me guess. Um, I'm good at this.

You work in the Pru selling
insurance. Home and auto.

No. We're doctors at St Eligius.

St Elsewhere?! Eugh, eugh, eugh!

I was forced to have my
kid in that mortician's delight!

Hey! Hey, everybody, these two
butchers work at St Elsewhere!

Welcome to Cheers,
Drs Jekyll and Hyde.

Who recommended this establishment?

I overheard Ehrlich talking about it.

It figures.

Well, here you are.

I've been looking all over,
for Pete's sake!

Papandrao said you were
at a bar near the Commons.

Next time, be more specific,
will you?

Is Katharine all right?

Yes. She's resting comfortably.

Blood pressure 110
over 80 and her pulse is 70.

You've divided
like cells of bacteria.

Two scotch and waters.
What do you want?

I think I'd like something light.
Maybe you could suggest an aperitif?

What do I look like, a Samoyed?
Just pick a drink!

Have you been taking
this abuse all night?

Let's see you do something about it.

On second thought,
I'll have an amaretto.

Katharine's echocardiogram
shows significant left
ventricular hypertrophy.

I've spoken to her
and I've scheduled surgery
for tomorrow morning.

I'd like a second opinion.

Fine.

Daniel, I've seen Katharine's chart.

I agree with Mark. If it
were anyone else, you would, too.

We'll go ahead with the surgery.

One amaretto. Wussy drink.

You know, that reminds me, Donald.
When we were at the old North Plaza,

you can't joke
about stuff like that!

What's going on?

I was doing Donald a favour
by checking out a condo

he was thinking of buying.

Next thing I know, we're in the
road company of La Cage Aux Folles.

Selling the house at Wayland
is one thing,

but why give it up
for a condominium?

Have you seen his house lately?

Crab grass in the front,
peeling paint, bad shingles.

Have you seen a dermatologist?

I mean, a man's castle
is a reflection of his mental state.

Now just a minute, Mark.

Your place looks like something
out of House Beautiful, right?

You're no happier than I am.

What's with you? Can't you take
a little constructive criticism?

Donald has a point.
On a day-to-day basis,

you're always much testier
than we are.

You're the only one
I know who'd aggravate the doctor

who's operating on your wife
in the morning.

Why are you drinking?

One lousy amaretto,
for crying out loud!

Oh, how was it seeing Dr Domedion?

Great(!) You know, I thought
my 50s would be smooth sailing.

I'm still getting tossed around.
It just doesn't seem fair.

Well, like Stephen getting married.

I thought you were thrilled?

Daniel, he eloped. No wedding.

No witty toast at the reception.
No fatherly pats on the back.

I mean, Ellen was devastated.

Evening, everybody.

COMMOTION

What's tall, cool,
foaming and comes in a glass?

What?

That'll be my dinner. Set me up.

Keep your shorts on,
I'm working alone.

Sam and Coach when to the Celtics
game and Frasier took Diane

to the costume ball for Cyclorama. I
think they went as Timmy and Lassie.

Hi, Norman.

Hello! Er, Cliffy, help me out here

if I get hung up
with this old geezer.

Tell me the beer just died
or something.

Dr Auschlander. I haven't seen
you since the 1040 of '82, sir.

My former accountant, Norm Peterson.
Dr Westphall, Dr Craig.

You're looking at the brains behind
Auschlander, a medical corporation.

We're awfully sorry
about that last audit, sir.

The IRS didn't buy declaring
my six-year-old granddaughter
as an employee.

I did explain that
might be a bit of a reach.

As a taxpayer,
I was ultimately responsible.

Well... Cliffy.

Um, at least that deal in
upstate New York worked, didn't it?

Norm, you sold me a load of bull.

I had to pay the Government $17,000.

Cliff, how's Vera doing? Any idea?

Sinking fast.

Oh, well,
I'd better wrap this to go then.

Nice to meet you.

Another round?

Please.

What are you, Mary, a sipper?

You know, today's women
don't have any sense of gentility.

I can't believe that Stephen's
passing along the Craig name

to some feminist bimbette.

I thought you hadn't
met your daughter-in-law.

I haven't. That's not the point.

What we're talking about here

is a bond that exists
between father and son.

I mean, my father never told me
he loved me,

but I still realised
that a bond existed.

And I'll tell you when I knew it -
D Day, 1945.

D Day was '44.

VJ Day was '45.

Well, whenever the hell it was!

The only time
my father ever hugged me.

My pop wasn't overly affectionate.

Jeez, I got along great with my dad.

Right up to the end,
even when he couldn't recognise me.

I didn't know that.

I sat there and I talked to him.

The man lying
in that bed wasn't my father.

There was none of the vitality
and wisdom that I'd grown up with.

I came to view him as another
human being who needed my help.

I couldn't do that.

Mark, we do it every
day at the hospital.

He was the man who taught me to
live by the rules. Be responsible.

He taught me how to ride a bicycle,
catch a baseball.

Two rites of passage
I can't pass on to my own son.

Living by the rules
doesn't pay off, gentleman.

Ellen taught Stephen to ride a bike.

I tried dealing
with Tommy's situation

the same way
I dealt with my father's.

Tommy's just a boy.

That's what tears me up
inside, Daniel!

Tommy has feelings,
thoughts inside him

that he can never share with anyone.

A few nights ago, I had a dream
about Tommy and he was articulating

these extraordinary complex ideas
and the dream was so incredible

that when I woke up, I wrote it down.

And in the morning,
I looked at what I'd written.

The only thing there
was the word "life".

It seems to me,
despite Tommy's condition,

you fought through the pain that
it caused you and you helped him.

So, er, you three fellas
are of the medical persuasion, eh?

Because we all earn our income
through the generosity

of the Federal Government,
perhaps a little free attention
is in order here.

I've got a pain in my arm. It's...

Probably from slinging back
all those mugs of beer all day long.

No wonder the mail
never gets delivered.

The discomfort permeates
my flexor carpi radialis,

then travels and zips right on
through the extensor indicis,

Thereby obviously
causing me to put undue pressure

on my brachio...radialus.

Any hair on your mailbags?

Look, we're here as civilians,
so why don't you take

your brachioradialis and walk away?

Carla, tell Sammy until he gets
a better class of clientele here,

I'll be spinning my coaster
at Bob's Olde Worlde Pubbe.

Daniel, I don't think I told you
how sorry I am about George Wyler.

He was foolhardy.

Not in my eyes.

He went to Africa knowing full
well the government would kill him.

How can a sane man walk
so calmly into the mouth of a lion?

Unlike all of us in
this room, except maybe
that loudmouthed barmaid,

he was in control of his destiny.

I mean, what did
he have to worry about?

The possibility of a plane crashing?

I hate flying. Hate it.

You don't go anywhere!

No, but when we're taxiing out
on the runway, I look out the window

and I wonder how in hell
are they going to get all
that metal off the ground?

And I watch the stewardess because
I know if anything goes wrong,

she'll be the first one to know.

The people sitting by me are
relaxed and I'm scared to death.

Listen, Oliver London got
his pilot's licence last year

and he did nothing but pester me
to go up with him

to get a bird's-eye view
of the Cape.

So finally, I gave in.

So for 30 minutes a man who doesn't
even have an Ivy League education

is control of my life.

Barrel rolls, loop-the-loops.

When we finally landed
at Marlborough airport,

I dropped on my knees
and kissed the terra firma.

And then I threw up.

That Oliver London can get
his pilot's licence says
something aboutair safety.

If I were on a flight that ended
before its destination,
I'd walk away.

I don't know how I'd do it,
but I know I would.

What if the plane
crashed in the water?

I'd swim ashore.

I've seen you in a bathing suit.
Go down with dignity.

I've gotta get up early.

Hey, hey! Where are you going?
I brought you a Shirley Temple.

For your information, lady,
I'm not drinking,

because I have a delicate operation
to perform in the morning.

Fitting someone for a body bag?

Stiff her, but good.

Don't worry about Catherine.

That's a nice jacket.
What is it, worsted?

Yes.

That's good scotch.

We have to enjoy
the little pleasures.

The taste of things,
the simplest breath.

When my liver cancer was diagnosed,

I savoured every moment
of every day for a while.

Then I drifted back
into complacency.

Living has become once again...

a routine of dying patients
and administrative foul-ups.

Yeah.

You know, at the service,

I was listening to the rabbi
talk about the plight of the Jews,

how they'd had
no rest or peace for so long.

That's how I feel.

Donald, what are you talking about?

Making a change.

I don't think that's what
the rabbi had in mind.

I should go away.

Good, you haven't had
a vacation for a long time.

Daniel, I'm resigning as Director of
Medicine. I'm leaving St Eligius.

Let me get this.

# EASTER PARADE

Where the hell is everybody?!

Page Morrison and Wade, stat.

What happened to this guy?

He was nailed up, crucified.

(TANNOY) 'Dr Morrison,
Dr Wade, emergency room.'

Diane, give me
D5 lactated ringers.

Call Lloyd, six units
universal donor blood, stat.

We need ABGs, CBCs, lights
and type cross match, stat.

No pulse, no respiration,
let's start CPR.

Was he alive when you found him?

Yeah, he had this...sucking sound
coming from his chest.

It's gone now.

I need an intubation tray.

Central intravenous catheters.

Grab the bag.

Where's the intubation tray?

On its way.

Got a peripheral IV line?

What have we got?

Severe blood loss, multiple
lacerations, no vital signs.

Penetrating chest wound,
just for starters.

The pupils aren't responsive.

OK, he's incubated,
but he has a collapsed lung.

He's asystole.

I'm going to cut into the chest.

Rib splitter.

Hand me the scissors.
I'm going to cut the pericardium.

PH - 6.9, PO2 - 40, PC02 - 60,
bicarbonate 9.

Severe hypoxia and acidosis.

OK, I need three amps bicarb,

1g calcium chloride, 1mg EPI,
1:10,000 IV push, stat!

Still nothing on the monitor.

Let's keep trying.

I'll cross clamp the aortal distal
to the left subclavian artery.

We've got to get as much
blood to the brain as possible.

Come on, come back!

He's got a pulse! >

CHEERING

Bone retractor.

Doctor, you're Episcopalian.

Is there a minimum income
requirement to join?

Will you stop being a moron?!

I'm going to check for mitral
stenosis and calcification,
see if we need to do a comisurotomy.

I guess you still gotta
go to church, like Catholics.

Know who's got it pegged?
The Jews. One day of atonement
and that's it - inand out.

One more word and you're out!

Sorry.

Of course, I can't believe
how insensitive I'm being

after what happened yesterday
with Dr Domedion.

You're probably still upset.
The man's a blithering idiot.

Damn it!

Number 15 blade.

Mrs Auschlander's
mitral valve looked OK.

It shows considerable disease.
She's going to need a comisurotomy.

OK.

Yeah, well, you're not the guy
to do it. Dr Carlton, step in.

The more eggs you gather,
the bigger the prize you'll receive.

But remember
to look for the golden egg.

Whoever finds it
will possess magical powers,

go on exciting adventures, do
wonderful new things. Now remember,

all the eggs are hidden in
this section on the third floor.

Don't disturb any
of the patients, OK?

(ALL) OK!

Ready, steady, go!

You did that like a pro.

I've heard my wife deliver
that same speech over 20 times.

Dr Morrison...

Dr Morrison, you are the perfect
size for the bunny costume.

I told you, I'm busy.

Where am I going
to find a tall, dumb,

stupid looking white guy
who's pink in the face?

Ehrlich.

KNOCK ON DOOR

Yep.

Hello, Jack.

Huh! Amazing, isn't it, the garbage
you can collect over the years?

Old hospital ID card.

There's a key to God knows what.

Half a roll of stale Lifesavers.

I don't know why I didn't
finish the whole thing.

What can I do for you?

Well, I was wondering,
I heard this rumour.

You're really leaving?

Two copies of Gray's Anatomy.

You going to another hospital?

I'm not sure, Jack.

You're leaving medicine?

I don't know.

Dr Westphall, obviously something
is making you pack it in.

And I can't accept that.

You wouldn't accept it from me,
you'd encourage me,

you'd tell me to keep plugging away.
You wouldn't let me give up.

Jack, let me tell you something.

I know what we do here is important.

But I've been doing it for a hell of
a long time and it's time to leave.

I had this fellow Mallory the
other day on a dialysis machine,

and he asked to be
transferred to Boston General.

I couldn't argue with him.
Know why? Cos what I was doing

is just watching
this guy's blood be filtered.

I had no notion here of what it was
doing to the quality of his life.

We all have those kind of days.

Lately, every day is.

I'm saying, I can't drag myself
in here just because I know
what we do is necessary.

If I don't like the guy I shave
every morning, something's wrong
and I'm no help to anyone else.

But how can you just leave?

I've talked to Dr Auschlander,
everything's covered.

Keep that.

Jesus knew he was to be crucified.

So we went into a beautiful garden
and prayed,

"Father, if it's possible,
let this cup pass from me."

Scripture says he prayed so hard,
he sweat tiny droplets of blood.

He was afraid to die. But he knew
it was part of God's plan

and so he was nailed to the cross.

Let me tell you a story about one
of my regular parishioners. Jim.

This past winter,
Jim took his daughter for a walk
along the banks of theCharles.

He told her to stay away from the
edge, but when he wasn't watching,

she ran out onto the ice,
where she fell through.

Without any hesitation
or concern for his own life,

Jim dove into the water
and saved his daughter.

You see, a totally selfless
act of love triumphed,

even over the fear
of one's own death.

Is there anyone here
who wouldn't do the same thing,

risk their life
for someone they truly loved?

Jim's daughter disobeyed her father
and fell into the river.

All of us at one time
or another have disobeyed God
and fallen into sin.

Catherine's gonna be fine.

Thank you.

Catherine...

I'm beginning to understand.

I still don't want to die,
but the calm...

which we ourselves create comes
from some secret place within.

We're together and now,
we don't have to be afraid.

So then, we found
that Mrs Auschlander had...

..extensive stenosis

with calcification

and I had to perform
a mitral comisurotomy.

How do you...?
Why do you...?

How do you get two of these?

It was nice of the people who...

live here...to let us stay.

How...?

How did you say...
they let you in?

(COUGHS)

Here, let me.

M... Mark.

Happy Easter, Dr Domedion.

How did I get...
two of these?

I'm the Easter bunny, that's right!
Come on! Keep up!

Hey, you slow pokes,
come on up here.

This way!

Come on, let's find
some Easter eggs! Come on, kids!

Here we go, hop, hop, hoppity!

Hi, Warren.
Any room left in my car?

I had to move the seat up,
but I hope you don't mind
driving all scrunched over.

Any Easter eggs in here?

No, sorry.

I really appreciate your help.

I'll take this down for you.

Thanks, very much.

So long, Dr Westphall.

Goodbye.

Bye.
