St. Elsewhere (1982–1988): Season 3, Episode 3 - Two Balls and a Strike - full transcript

The nurses go on strike. The rapist strikes again at the hospital. The Craigs decide to see a marriage counselor. Westphall prepares as his daughter goes off to college.

BANGING

Sounds like you're
disciplining a resident.

Well, some Einstein from maintenance
painted the window shut.

Argh!

Did you drop by for a reason?

Well, I thought you might
like to know

negotiations are still going on.
We might avoid a walkout after all.

Forget it.

The nurses are determined to
go on strike tomorrow morning,

Daniel's wasting his time.

KNOCKING ON DOOR



Yes!

Hammer and screwdriver,
you asked for. Hi, Dr Westphall.

We're just going to have to let them
get it out of their system, Donald.

What are you waiting for? A tip?!

Not any more.

HAMMERING

Lizzie's coming back
from her vacation tonight.

She was on the Cape.

And Friday,
I'm driving her to Vassar.

It's hard to believe
my daughter is starting college.

It seems a short time ago
she was in grade school

and I had a full head of hair.

You know something, Donald?

You're not the only one
with problems.



Oh, sorry,
you want some help with that?

There are people on every floor
of this hospital with problems.

I mean,
you can't go around telling yours

without hearing a few in return.

That's the way it works. You tell
one, and then you hear one.

It's a self-correcting system.

OK. I'm listening.

Yeah, well...

Ellen and I are not seeing
eye-to-eye these days.

What's wrong?

That's all I'm saying on the matter.

Well, I'll be home
if you want to talk some more.

You know the tri-state area.

Any suggestions on the best road
to Poughkeepsie?

Who do I look like? Rand McNally?

Look at this. I thought firemen
were supposed to be light sleepers.

Pupils are dilated and sluggish.

When was he last medicated?

Four, almost five hours ago.

Morphine, 15 milligrams IM.

Surprised he's not up
and screaming for more.

Maybe we should wake him and tell
him he's supposed to be in pain.

You sure you're not going to go on
strike if the nurses decide to go?

Oh, and miss all these nights
I spend with you?

Ha!

Right.

Oh, visiting hours are over.

Look, I just want to see Michael.

You'll have to come back tomorrow.

I really can't.

He is asleep...

I understand that,
but Michael asked me to stop by.

You know, we could go ten rounds at
this but you're not going to last.

I just want to give him something.

We'll make sure he gets it.

I'll wait till tomorrow.

That may be
all right for Boston General,

but we have never worked
that way here and never will.

Daniel, you have got to
take into consideration

differentiation of duty.

Listen, would you ask
an intern to perform surgery?

That's hardly a fair comparison.

We need more nurses per shift.

If you would compromise on the issue
of ward closures...

Daniel! All we ever hear from you is
how we have to make the compromises,

how we have to make all
the changes...

Please!>

Look at what you're making me
do to the finish of this table.

Mr Clarendon,

it seems very clear to me
that the management of St Eligius

has nothing concrete
to offer our union.

Until nurses are recognised
as professionals...

A professional doesn't
abandon those who need help.

Daniel.

At six o'clock tomorrow morning,

the nurses at St Eligius...

will go on strike.

I love my job.

I love the striped armband.

Well, when we settle with the
hospital, Warren, it's all yours.

Papandrao still mad
you're not striking?

She hasn't said one civil word to me
since I was transferred up here.

She acts like it's my fault
Auschlander took me out of the ER

and put me in charge of this floor.

I guess you find out real fast
who your friends are.

Leave friendship out of it.

I'm doing what I think's right.

PHONE RINGS

I hate this place.

What did they catch you at?
..What's all this?

Hello. And goodbye.

"Because of the impending strike,
the hospital will be reducing...

"Tomorrow is your last day!"

They can't lay us off!
We're indispensable!

If the nurses go on strike tomorrow,
consider yourself dispensed.

Hi.

Hi!

Sorry we're late. There was
a huge accident outside Brooklyn.

As long as you're OK. Hi, Betty.

Lizzie, hug.

Hi, Tommy.

Hey, I got something for you.

You both look like you've spent
all your days at the beach.

And a couple of nights.

Don't, Betty.
He'll think you're serious.

I am. We had a blast.

I love hanging around college kids.
They're so mature. Different from

the nerds we went
to high school with.

Lizzie and I met two cuties who go
to Yale. It's not far from Vassar.

Actually, about two hours away.

End-of-state line.

They're staying
overnight in Cambridge

and Betty and I are
going to go see them.

No, honey. I don't think you should.

We'll take the T
and I won't be late.

Can't you get together
when you're all at school?

Dad, we promised to meet them.

Well, what about all your packing?

I've got all day tomorrow.

Uh-huh. Well, no.

I want you to stay in tonight.

Dad...I'm 18 years old.

Next month.

Like a month's going to
make a big difference.

I don't want to argue
about this, lady.

Do you mind if I use the phone?

Betty, I'd be glad
to give you a ride home.

That's OK, Dr Westphall.
I'm not going home.

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

Dad, I can't believe you still
treat me like a kid.

What the hell's the big deal?

Hey!

Come on, Tommy, let's go.

(SIGHS)

See you in the morning,
I've got to get some sleep.

Dr Craig, I don't mean to pry,
but this makes three nights in a row

that you've slept here.

This isn't a hotel,
you don't need to keep count.

Right you are.

Got the old transistor again.

Well, just keep the volume down.

CHEESY MUSIC PLAYS

What are you staring at?

Hey, man. I've been there.

That rocky trip
down the marriage canal.

Oh, for Pete's sake...

I think this is a good time
where we could share our grief

and really cement a new bond.

Ehrlich,
what is the on-call room for?

Sleeping?

Then quit your yapping and do it.

Good luck, Shirley.
You'll need it.

BUZZER

Great.

Hang on, Mrs Hufnagel.

Third-floor nurses station.

He's not here.
It's six o'clock in the morning.

No-one's here at six o'clock
in the morning.

I don't know, try his service.

You're the one who's always
complaining how rotten things are.

If you really cared about it,
you'd do something.

Tina, can you watch the desk?
I have to check on Mrs Hufnagel.

The nurses here are on strike.

If you cross our picketline,
you'll be supporting

unfair labour practices used by
St Eligius and the City of Boston.

If you want to show
you're opposed to these practices,

please back up to the Baptist Church.
They've agreed to accept deliveries

until someone can come down
from the hospital, OK?

CHEERING

Hey, Luther. You know Mr Duffy?

The young guy in the burn ward.

Yeah, he needs to be
taken out of the Hubbard tank.

Oh, Luther, Mrs Hufnagel
fell out of bed again.

Tina needs help lifting her back up.

Why don't they let her
sleep on the floor?

And I'll get to the fireman
as soon as I can.

Morning. Coffee brewin'?

Third-floor nurses station.
One second.

He has to be on ward two.
6'6", white guy.

How can you miss him?

There's no coffee.

Ginny, can you change
linen in room 431?

And there aren't any doughnuts.

Wait a minute, when they moved him
from ward five...

There's no coffee,
there's no doughnuts.

What do you mean you forgot
to turn it in?

That's the nurses lounge.
Get breakfast elsewhere.

Warren, they need help finding
a patient from ward five now.

Good morning. How's it going?

Fine.

Perfecto.

No problems.

Good.

Oh, Warren. The linen delivery was
diverted to the Baptist church.

This place won't last
a day without me.

BUZZER

Ellen!

Hi.

How are you?

Fine.

Um, I picked this up
yesterday for Lizzie.

Oh, terrific, thank you.

It's a very cute little terrycloth
robe for her to wear in the dorm.

Perfect.

Stephen tells me a lot
of romances get started

on the way to the showers.

In my day,
we used to shower afterwards.

When I was at Boston College,

the only time the boys
could get into the girls' dormitory

was between eight and ten o'clock.

And we waited in what
they called the "receiving room".

One body width apart,
both feet on the floor.

Maybe it's not too late to find
a place like that for Lizzie.

Am I keeping you from something?

No, no, not at all. Sit down.

Well...

Mark and I don't talk much any more.

When he is at home,
it's like he's someplace else.

Last Monday, I told him he might
as well sleep here at the hospital.

Well, Ellen, worrying
about this nurses' strike

has got us all worn down.
I hollered at Lizzie last night.

It's not the strike.

Oh...dear.

We're old friends, Donald.

Yes, we are.

Something's bothering Mark.

And whatever it is has been affecting
him sexually for almost a year now.

Has he given you any idea
what it might be?

Mark won't even admit
that anything's wrong.

I know I'm not the woman
he met at Penn.

For crying out loud,
that was 30 years ago.

I still find him attractive.

Donald, would you say that
I'm a desirable woman?

Ellen, I...

I need you to tell me the truth.

Well, you're...

Is my husband seeing another woman?

What makes you ask that?

Well, I can only think of one reason

that would make Mark act
the way he is.

He's having an affair
with another woman.

Not that I know of.

Well, then, maybe he's having
an affair with another man!

You want me to talk to him?

Would you?

Sure.

So you like working down here?

Yeah, it's great.

I got regular hours.

And whenever an angiogram needs to
be done, I get in a little surgery.

I spend most of my time
making diagnoses. I'm good at that.

I'm taking Mrs Geisser's X-rays.

Sure.

Annie, you want to play ball?

What?

Softball.

I'm organising a co-ed softball
team here at the hospital.

We're going to beat the pants off
Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrows.

Not interested.

Nobody seems to be.

Keep trying.

Yeah, I always keep trying.

Picking up speed.

Where are we now?

Passing the government centre.

Turning left onto Court Street.

You mean right.

No, a right would take me down
Comm Avenue.

You wonder why they won't let you
drive the engine to the fire.

Jerry? He can't find his way
out of the station.

Hey, Pop.

I'll be right there.

The ulcer still kicking up?

That's the bad news.

The good news is,
now I'm constipated.

Compared to last time,
you're looking good.

Of course,
you were never a handsome guy.

Where's Manny?

He's downstairs getting
a chest X-ray.

Caldwell thinks he's got pneumonia.

He'll be OK.

Here's the TV that you wanted.

Great.

When did you start with this
contraption?

Couple of days ago. Keeps me loose.

You sound a little tight to me.

Oh, you mean tight like drunk?

Yeah. How come you're talking
like that?

Must be the pain stuff
they're giving me.

Well, the fact you haven't let this
slow you down makes me very proud.

OK, rub a dub dub,
it's time for the Hub.

That's called orderly humour.

The Hubbard Tank's not exactly
a bubble bath.

I know, but you got a pretty nurse
rubbing your back.

What nurse? I haven't seen a nurse
all morning.

The nurses are all out front.

You guys responsible
for driving them away completely?

Nah, they just got tired of Jerry
mentally undressing them

all the time. See you, Pop.

Stop by again
when I can't stay so long.

Yeah.

Thanks again for listening. Thanks.

Helen.

Yes.

Helen,
may I talk to you for a moment?

I thought some cocoa would make
the rain more bearable.

Daniel, it's not hot chocolate
we're after.

I'm aware of that.

Helen, how could this thing...

No.

..could've gotten so out of hand?

You and I used to be able to
settle our differences so easily.

You know, when I first came to work
at St Eligius, it was like a family.

And you didn't mind working hard.

You were doing all kinds of extra
things

because everybody else was
doing the same thing - sharing.

But now... For instance,

you know doctors sometimes stroll
out of here at 5:01,

and it kind of makes you feel like
you're being taken advantage of.

That's the crime
I'm being charged with?

The nurses just feel they should get
the rules down in black and white

so there's no misunderstanding.

St Eligius is more vital to this
community than ever,

and it's because
we're still a family

and we can pull together
and overcome our difficulties.

Danny, if you really think
that's true,

why do you think
I'm out there in the rain?

I'm not going to allow you to turn
this into a sterile hospital

with nameless patients
and faceless employees.

I've worked too hard to allow
that to happen.

Oh, for crying out loud.

Will you look at this?

All day yesterday,

I called maintenance to come
open my window. Nobody shows up.

Now, in the middle of
a cats and dogs downpour,

they raise it to the roof.
What's the matter with these people?

Look at this.

Do you enjoy standing in my office
watching me get aggravated?

Because you've been doing
a lot of it lately.

Ellen stopped by.

She's pretty upset.

What did she tell you?

That you two have been fighting.

She also mentioned you were having
a little trouble sexually.

I'm not having any trouble.

Ellen keeps missing the crescendos.

Her problem, is it?

That's right.

All right, maybe,
from her perspective,

she might say that I'm putting
a little short of the cup.

But when a man's on the firing
line with a loaded gun,

why wait to pull the trigger?

Sometimes these things aren't
physical, you know.

What is it with you, Donald?

You attack my masculinity,

and now you question
my emotional stability?

No, I'm sure...

There's nothing wrong with me!

Believe me,

everything's working fine,

from orchestra to the balcony.

Oh, good. Just put them
back behind the culture counter.

Listen, while you're back there,
would you mind...

Don't come near me, Peter.

I'll kill you, I swear to God.

Aagh!

(WEEPS)

I didn't go anywhere near the lab.

I was in radiology all morning.
I even saw Cavanero down there!

Come on, Dr Westphall,
what sense would it make for me

to get reinstated in the hospital...

I wouldn't put anything past you.

Look, Dr Westphall...

Try it. Come on. You try it, old
man, I'll knock you down so hard...

You'll get what you deserve.

I am innocent, you understand that?

BUZZER

Yes?

Yes, Al, I did.
Have you seen Peter White?

He hadn't left before this?
You're sure?

No, no problem, thank you.

You owe me an apology.

Get out of here.

OK, I'll see you round.
But, just remember, next time

some pervert's running loose round
here, don't bother rattling my cage.

Get out of here!

It wasn't me...Annie.

You OK?

No.

Nursing, my new career.

I can't stand it,
the patients never shut up.

"My back aches. The coffee
was cold, my tray's not right."

Was it such a big deal
to fluff my pillow?

I'm not talking to you,
Mrs Hufnagel.

Why do you think the nurses went on
strike? They don't like it either.

Yes, but they do it better than him.

Lighten up, would you, please?
I've had patients spit pills at me,

call me names, throw up on me.

It was only a little phlegm.

Give us a break, Victor.
Stop griping.

Snivelling.

Whining.

Trained to be a globetrotter,
not a tent maker.

Weren't you ever a Scout?

No, I was too big for the uniform.

Oh, boy. Well, first you test the
wind. Like this.

Then you set the tent
up on high level ground

and make sure it's uphill
and upwind from the latrine.

Here he is.

Manny, you look better already.

I'm feeling fine, really.

Well, the X-rays show
it was definitely pneumonia.

We'll put you on moist oxygen,

the tent will be more comfortable
than that mask.

Excuse me. You're in the way.

Enjoy your morning dip?

Terrific,
if you like a place that smells awful

where someone's always screaming.

Sounds like Thanksgiving
dinner at my mother-in-law's.

Now I feel worse than before I went
in. Morrison won't give me a shot.

His blood pressure's low.

You seem a little groggy, still.

You've already had two shots today.

So? Hurry up and give me another.

Eight milligrams of morphine, please.

Mr Duffy's been here
for three weeks.

Shouldn't his pain
be stabilised by now?

I can't get a handle
on how much morphine he needs.

What about Demerol?

Doesn't matter. Still has
the same weird reaction.

Lately his pupils go from pinpoint,
to dilate and sluggish.

BP jumps from 90/60 to 170/80.

And he's groggy with slurred
speech at different times of day.

What about neurological damage?

Medication mix-up?

Believe me, Jack,
I've checked out everything.

Hi, Mark.

Hi, Donald.

By the way, that myocardial
infarction patient of mine,

Mr Hennessy,
his kidneys are stable now.

Oh, good.

I want to thank you for your advice.

It's what consults are for.

No, I meant about Ellen.

It's against my better judgment,
but we're meeting a therapist.

Henry Vogel.

I've never heard of him.

He's probably a quack. I'll go
if it'll make her feel better.

Might make you feel better, too.

Do you remember last year,
the foreign physicians' conference?

Me parading into your office,
telling you all about Vera Anya?

Do you remember what you said to me?

"Nothing will happen
if you don't want it to."

I broke a promise to my wife.

Only once, mind you,
but I can never fix that.

Mark, if that's
what's causing the problem,

I don't think it's going to get
any better until you tell Ellen
what happened.

That you had a momentary infatuation.

She'll never understand.
Women fall apart.

They don't have
the same firmament as men.

Maybe you want to take the back way
out. Avoid a confrontation.

I am not about to let
the nurses intimidate me.

I have to get my car,
this is the fastest way

and this is the way I'm going.

If your union was more flexible,

you'd all be home now
sitting in front of a fireplace

with your families instead of
out here wading through puddles.

Thanks, Mark.
We'll bear that in mind.

You know Annie Cavanero
was attacked.

I heard.

I don't think it's wise for you
people to picket tonight.

Oh, we already took the vote
and we're staying.

OK, I'll assign more security.

That's OK, most of the male
nurses are joining us tonight.

Hey, Lizzie all packed
and ready to go?

Yep, she's off first thing
in the morning, with her roommate.

Because of the strike, she didn't
think I'd be free to take her.

I think she's going to have a good
time in college.

Too good a time. Her roommate,
Betty, she's a little over active.

Oh. Well, no matter how old
she gets or how far away she goes,

you're never going to stop feeling
she needs your protection.

You know, sometimes...

I think I could have been
a better father.

I know I could have been
a better mother.

Oh, come off it.

You've been a terrific parent.

I have the feeling
I should be telling her something,

but I don't know what it is.

You sure you won't stop
picketing for the night?

Drive safely.

All right. Good night.

Good night.

That's a pretty rash
differential diagnosis.

Besides, the word premature
is a relative term.

Where's your licence?

Mark, at least 50% of cases
are psychological in nature,

and very treatable.

Why are we even here?

Mark, do you consider yourself
a success in your field?

He's the best heart
surgeon in Boston.

Thank you.

Well, if she knows that
you're a success,

and you have no doubts
about it yourself,

your bed doesn't have
to be a proving ground.

For a young guy, you can really
dish out the malarkey.

Stand up for me, would you?

Now, I want you to put these on.

What for?

Please, Mark.

You can never call me Mark again.

Now, I want you to move slowly
toward each other.

Not now - when I tell you to.

Start moving together.

But I don't want you to touch.

The idea is to get as close
as possible without touching.

Mark, Ellen...

Ellen, sense where Mark is.

Mark...

All right already, we get the idea.

Ready?

Begin.

Feel the vibrations of your mate.

No touching.

Slowly sense where your partner is.
Slowly...

PHONE RINGS

Hold it right there!

Don't move.

Hello.

Ellen.

Yes, dear.

I hate this.

I said I can't talk now.

What a nag.

Now, how are you two getting along?

Let me tell you something.

Wait a minute, Mark, please.

No, don't interrupt.

She's interrupting me because she
knows I'm about to lose my temper.

You see, Ellen knows me
better than anyone in the world.

She doesn't need to learn
pointers from you.

Mark, there's one thing I don't know.

Are you seeing another woman?

For God's sake,

if you're stupid enough to do it,
you ought to be able to admit it.

You see what you did?

Oh, hi. Are the dishes done?

Yep. After you leave, it's
going to be strictly paper plates.

I finally got Tommy to go to sleep.

Oh, there's still a lot of laundry
left in the dryer.

That's all right,
don't worry about it, I'll get it.

Here, this is for your first mixer.

Mixer.

Oh, Dad, this is the one
I saw in the window!

Thanks.

Go try it on.

OK.

Oh, nuts, I got the wrong size.

That's OK.

I've been meaning to lose a few
pounds, and this is good incentive.

I'll exchange it and
send you another one.

Oh, Dad, stop.
You've already done enough.

Lizzie, have we talked
about the birds and the bees?

Don't forget you are a doctor.

All those medical books on our
shelves weren't a total waste.

Read them all, did you?

Read enough.
Checked out all the pictures.

Lizzie! >

I'd better get him.

I let the meter run out.

SHE SINGS: Puff The Magic Dragon

# Little Jackie paper

# Loved that rascal Puff

# And brought him strings
and sealing wax

# And other fancy stuff... #

THUNDER

I've been down in the garden.

This weather has really
messed things up.

Even the azalea bush is down.

Remind me to call the gardener.
What's his name?

Um...

Mr Enkeliak.

Hungarian.

He does a decent job.

Remember
when I used to tend the garden?

Yes. I used to sit here and nurse
Stephen so I could watch you work.

You'd go walking back
and forth across the lawn,

watering and seeding.

Then every once in a while
you'd holler up

to see if I needed anything.

And then you'd just go back,
watering and seeding.

If I could've nursed Stephen
myself, I would've traded places.

That lawn was tough work.

You...

Do you realise that in a few months
we'll have been married 30 years?

30 years!

And you know what upset me the most?

That you didn't tell me.

Instead of being honest, you just let
this slowly strangle our marriage.

Oh, what are you talking about?

The fact that you finished
with me quick

so that you could run off
every morning to satisfy her.

I go to the hospital, for Pete's
sake. I'm not having an affair.

Oh, tell me about it.

All right, you really want to know
about it? I'll tell you.

One weekend last year...

Don't bother.

Will you make up your mind?

I don't want to hear any details.

Besides,
if we start swapping stories,

you're going to get very upset.

Why would I be upset?

Never mind.

Wait a minute.

What kind of stories do you
have to tell me?

We'll talk about it later, Mark.

Are you telling me
that you've been fooling around?

Later.

It's Stillman, the dentist,
isn't it?

I mean, how many cavities
can you have filled?

He uses his X-ray vision to find out
where Lex is hiding. >

That's what I am going to do. >

I am going to use my X-ray vision
to find where your cough starts. >

You don't have X-ray vision. >

Let me show you something,
smart alec.

This is a picture I took.

It's a hand.

That's what my hand
looks like inside?

More or less.

This is a foot.

Neat.

Annie.

If you've got any problems,
page Dr Carlton or Dr Jacobson.

But try Dr Ehrlich first.

Feeling any better?

Not really.

I can't believe Peter
got away with it again.

When is somebody finally going to
realise how dangerous he is?

(TANNOY) Dr David Sargent,
radiology, staff.

Where's Dr Caldwell?

Try his office.

But just find him, quick.

Don't take this personally,

but you look like
a lobster trap in that thing.

You look like an idiot.

Fill up the glass.

What, from here?

Very funny. With water.

I had a feeling you might
be running low.

Easy, pal.

When did you run out?

This afternoon.

Really appreciate this, Ross.

Forget it.

It's my business, Michael. As long
as you need me, I'll be here.

You're the only reason
I'm surviving this mess.

What did he give you, Michael?

Quaaludes? Valium?

Hold it!

Get your hands off of me!

Yeah, OK.

I didn't do anything wrong.
Why don't you talk to Michael?

Caldwell,
I'm not taking anything.

Hey, who the hell are you to go
through my stuff? Get out of there!

How many did you take?

Not enough.

You know you'll kill yourself
mixing medications of this strength.

Yeah, well, I don't care.

We'll get you through this, Michael.

But without these.

I need those.

Hey, you can't just take those away!

I need those!

Hey, come on, Caldwell!

You can't take them away,
I need them!

Ellen, what in heaven's name
are you doing?

Packing.

Where are you going?

Bermuda.

It's miserable this time of year.

Well, all right, Hawaii, then.

It's always lovely there.

You can't just go
running off to Hawaii.

Yes, we can.

We?

Well, I'm not going to go alone.

You said yourself, it'll take
several days for that strike

to get settled,
so this is the perfect time to go.

Ellen. Is it or is it not Stillman?

Oh, Mark, I've never slept
with another man besides you.

I never wanted to do that,

even though I've been tempted.

What was all that about?

I just wanted to hurt you.

But I don't want
that kind of marriage.

I don't think you do, either.

So you forgive me?

For having the affair, yes.

For not telling me,
I don't know, maybe.

For letting it screw
up our marriage, no.

Come on, I want to get
away from here, with you.

So start packing.

OK.

But I'm not going to the big island.

For the life of me,
I will never understand

why people take vacation
right under those volcanoes.

Who knows when they'll go off?

It isn't the volcanoes
that'll kill you.

It's the lava.

If you ever do that to me again...

I won't.

I promise.

That's it.

Sure?

Yeah.

Good. My dad's complaining the car's
going to bottom out,

Whatever that means.

Let me say goodbye to the Russells.

Listen, I'll be right out, OK?

I'll see you outside.

Come on, Tommy.

Listen, can you look at me?

I'm going away for a while.

But not for ever, OK?

You understand me.

Listen,
you take good care of Dad, OK?

All set?

Yeah.

Gosh, have you thought about what
you're going to have for dinner?

How about steak?

Sweetheart,
the Russells are waiting.

It's just that I've been
so busy lately,

going to the Cape
and getting my junk together,

I haven't spent any time with you.

That's OK.

It's OK.

I'm scared.

Oh, stop that.

I love you.

I love you, too, sweetheart.

OK, time to go.

Call tonight.

I'll see you at parents' weekend.
