1
00:00:02,214 --> 00:00:03,511
Previously on Everwood:
2
00:00:03,682 --> 00:00:05,047
- You have a boyfriend?
- Yes.
3
00:00:05,217 --> 00:00:06,946
Ephram Brown
meet Colin Hart.
4
00:00:07,119 --> 00:00:09,883
- You want my dad to help Colin.
- You could just talk to him.
5
00:00:10,088 --> 00:00:12,682
My mom said you can come over
tomorrow after school.
6
00:00:12,858 --> 00:00:14,189
I thought you didn't like me.
7
00:00:14,426 --> 00:00:16,621
I lied to you.
You asked me to ask my dad...
8
00:00:16,795 --> 00:00:18,820
...to help Colin.
I said I did but I didn't.
9
00:00:19,131 --> 00:00:20,962
Want to play something better?
10
00:00:24,102 --> 00:00:27,003
I asked my dad to help him.
He's gonna look at him tomorrow.
11
00:00:27,205 --> 00:00:28,467
Okay.
12
00:00:30,609 --> 00:00:31,871
Okay.
13
00:00:37,249 --> 00:00:39,274
Everyone has a touchstone...
14
00:00:39,451 --> 00:00:43,046
... a last line of defense against
the mayhem and sorrow of this world.
15
00:00:43,355 --> 00:00:47,416
For some people in Everwood,
that person is Dr. Gretchen Trott.
16
00:00:49,428 --> 00:00:51,362
No. No.
17
00:00:53,031 --> 00:00:54,999
Oh come on. Son of a...
18
00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:10,040
What is that thing? Blood van?
19
00:01:10,849 --> 00:01:13,340
Ice-cream truck? Bookmobile?
20
00:01:14,453 --> 00:01:16,284
"Shrinkmobile."
21
00:01:16,455 --> 00:01:19,390
Of course, not all Everwoodies
worship at the shrine...
22
00:01:19,558 --> 00:01:21,651
... of this particular recreational vehicle.
23
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:24,326
Excuse us. Coming through.
24
00:01:24,496 --> 00:01:26,157
Everwood has their own psychiatrist?
25
00:01:26,331 --> 00:01:28,822
Psychologist with a master's
in social work.
26
00:01:29,234 --> 00:01:30,496
Good morning Gretchen.
27
00:01:30,669 --> 00:01:33,297
Well hello. It's nice to see you again
Dr. Abbott.
28
00:01:33,472 --> 00:01:37,966
Gretchen is it my imagination
or did we not discuss in detail...
29
00:01:38,143 --> 00:01:40,737
...at the time of your last visit...
When was that?
30
00:01:40,912 --> 00:01:44,643
- the desirability of your finding
a more convenient place to see patients?
31
00:01:44,816 --> 00:01:47,444
Well I believe you did
make certain views known.
32
00:01:48,053 --> 00:01:50,544
I might call it a rumination
more than a conversation.
33
00:01:50,722 --> 00:01:54,658
Whether you remember it or not
you need to move this eyesore...
34
00:01:54,826 --> 00:01:57,454
...so that I can park my car
in my regular space.
35
00:01:57,629 --> 00:02:00,894
I believe that this is the most convenient
location for my patients...
36
00:02:01,066 --> 00:02:04,968
...so in the absence of any official signage
I'll continue to station myself here.
37
00:02:05,137 --> 00:02:07,196
Did you hear a word I just said?
38
00:02:07,372 --> 00:02:10,341
I heard you use territorialism
to establish superiority.
39
00:02:10,509 --> 00:02:12,374
While I respect
a narcissistic impulse...
40
00:02:12,544 --> 00:02:14,444
...l'm under no obligation
to cater to it.
41
00:02:14,613 --> 00:02:18,379
- I don't believe we've met. I'm Andy Brown.
- Speaking of narcissists...
42
00:02:18,550 --> 00:02:20,347
- The Andy Brown?
- One and only.
43
00:02:20,519 --> 00:02:25,923
It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm...
Well I'm actually a bit of a fan.
44
00:02:26,091 --> 00:02:28,719
I recently rediscovered your '97 article...
45
00:02:28,894 --> 00:02:32,694
...on distinguishing psychological
from organic mental disorders.
46
00:02:32,864 --> 00:02:36,800
I have to tell you I found your analysis
even more insightful upon second reading.
47
00:02:36,968 --> 00:02:38,230
Oh brother.
48
00:02:38,403 --> 00:02:42,100
It's a pleasure to meet a person providing
a valuable service to this community.
49
00:02:42,274 --> 00:02:46,040
I would be delighted to park my car down
the street for the duration of your stay.
50
00:02:46,211 --> 00:02:49,305
Well thank you. Thank you very much.
51
00:02:49,481 --> 00:02:53,076
Now if you'll excuse me
I have to prepare to see my patients.
52
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,477
- I like her.
- You would.
53
00:02:55,654 --> 00:03:00,091
How could anyone in their right mind
take that quack's insight seriously?
54
00:03:00,258 --> 00:03:02,283
Dr. Trott? I'm not too late am I?
55
00:03:02,461 --> 00:03:04,861
Dr. Trott? Oh hi!
56
00:04:00,218 --> 00:04:02,311
I thought they only paid you
to play piano.
57
00:04:02,487 --> 00:04:05,081
You doubt my school spirit?
58
00:04:05,257 --> 00:04:07,350
Whatever. It's cool of you to help.
59
00:04:08,527 --> 00:04:11,428
See that red rope over there?
That's where it all starts.
60
00:04:11,596 --> 00:04:14,292
Every year it's a mad dash
to see who gets the best seats.
61
00:04:14,466 --> 00:04:16,696
You'd think it was
a Paul McCartney concert.
62
00:04:16,868 --> 00:04:19,632
Never seen middle-aged people run so fast.
63
00:04:19,805 --> 00:04:23,002
A high school ballet
depicting the changing of the leaves.
64
00:04:23,175 --> 00:04:27,236
High point of Everwood's social season.
Why am I not surprised?
65
00:04:28,313 --> 00:04:31,043
The flower mart actually sold out last year.
66
00:04:32,551 --> 00:04:35,111
All the girls get bouquets. Roses mostly.
67
00:04:36,054 --> 00:04:38,682
- That's good to know.
- Except me I mean.
68
00:04:38,857 --> 00:04:41,257
Well I've never had a solo before but...
69
00:04:41,793 --> 00:04:44,091
...Colin used to bring me flowers anyway.
70
00:04:44,262 --> 00:04:47,322
Not my parents or anybody just Colin.
71
00:04:50,702 --> 00:04:54,866
- You checked your watch five minutes ago.
- Colin's parents' appointment is almost over.
72
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,238
I wouldn't worry. My dad's appointments last
long enough for whoever he's talking at...
73
00:04:59,411 --> 00:05:01,140
...to sign on the dotted line.
74
00:05:01,313 --> 00:05:05,613
I can't remember the last time someone
said no when Dr. Brown offered his help.
75
00:05:05,817 --> 00:05:08,081
Colin's surgery's a done deal.
76
00:05:10,388 --> 00:05:12,982
I watched this show
about comas the other night...
77
00:05:13,158 --> 00:05:15,217
...on the science channel.
78
00:05:15,393 --> 00:05:18,794
It showed people who came out
after a long time...
79
00:05:18,964 --> 00:05:20,932
...like six months or so.
80
00:05:22,334 --> 00:05:25,326
Most of them barely even looked human.
81
00:05:25,503 --> 00:05:27,971
I remember this one guy's face...
82
00:05:28,139 --> 00:05:32,667
...was frozen in this silent scream
like that painting.
83
00:05:33,812 --> 00:05:37,976
And most of their hands were all curled up
like Jennifer Hockaday in special ed.
84
00:05:38,516 --> 00:05:41,576
I don't mean this in a bad way Amy...
85
00:05:42,087 --> 00:05:44,521
...but are you sure you want him back?
86
00:05:44,689 --> 00:05:49,183
I mean especially if...
I mean that it might be better for him if...
87
00:05:49,361 --> 00:05:51,192
I want him back...
88
00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:53,627
...no matter what.
89
00:05:56,534 --> 00:05:58,661
As Dr. Latham and his team
have told you...
90
00:05:58,837 --> 00:06:03,171
...the causes of short-term coma
are generally discrete and identifiable...
91
00:06:03,341 --> 00:06:06,777
...while the causes of prolonged coma
can often be idiopathic.
92
00:06:08,179 --> 00:06:10,044
Of unknown origin.
93
00:06:10,815 --> 00:06:14,546
In Colin's case the neuro team has
monitored his intracranial pressure...
94
00:06:14,719 --> 00:06:16,880
...and provided well above
the standard of care.
95
00:06:17,055 --> 00:06:20,786
You can be confident that up to this point
you've done everything possible.
96
00:06:20,959 --> 00:06:24,395
- Up to this point?
- Having studied Colin's history and films...
97
00:06:24,562 --> 00:06:27,998
...l've come up with a theory.
- You think you know something they don't?
98
00:06:29,467 --> 00:06:32,561
There is what we believe to be
a small fragment of bone...
99
00:06:32,737 --> 00:06:36,173
...lodged in Colin's brain.
More specifically in the brain stem...
100
00:06:36,341 --> 00:06:38,070
...where it would be hard to remove.
101
00:06:38,276 --> 00:06:40,642
Dr. Latham doesn't believe
that the relationship...
102
00:06:40,812 --> 00:06:44,475
...between this fragment and your son's
prolonged comatose state is causal.
103
00:06:45,116 --> 00:06:46,640
But you do?
104
00:06:46,818 --> 00:06:50,879
I do. And I believe I can surgically
resect it without damaging the stem.
105
00:06:51,189 --> 00:06:52,884
You've done this before?
106
00:06:53,058 --> 00:06:54,491
Actually no.
107
00:06:55,927 --> 00:07:00,694
The brain stem handles the most
elemental tasks that the brain performs.
108
00:07:02,133 --> 00:07:05,933
Were we to undertake this successfully
it would be medically reportable.
109
00:07:06,104 --> 00:07:09,904
- Meaning?
- Well it would be an experiment of sorts.
110
00:07:10,375 --> 00:07:14,106
By that I mean experimentation
occurs all the time in medicine.
111
00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:17,248
It's how innovation takes place.
It's how lives are saved.
112
00:07:18,283 --> 00:07:21,184
I want you to know
I don't undertake this lightly.
113
00:07:21,486 --> 00:07:25,616
I've performed over 200 procedures a year
for the last 15 years...
114
00:07:25,790 --> 00:07:29,226
...and if I'm not mistaken
I have one of the highest success rates.
115
00:07:29,394 --> 00:07:33,228
But what if you do
damage the brain stem?
116
00:07:33,398 --> 00:07:38,700
Well it would threaten Colin's ability
to walk eat breathe.
117
00:07:40,872 --> 00:07:42,396
And what if we don't do it?
118
00:07:43,241 --> 00:07:45,471
It's impossible to say.
119
00:07:45,643 --> 00:07:47,577
Colin may emerge from coma on his own.
120
00:07:47,812 --> 00:07:49,905
But you don't think he will.
121
00:07:52,384 --> 00:07:53,749
Look...
122
00:07:55,553 --> 00:07:57,544
...you're the last stop for us Dr. Brown.
123
00:07:58,857 --> 00:08:00,757
We've run out of answers of our own.
124
00:08:01,626 --> 00:08:03,821
What do you think we should do?
125
00:08:03,995 --> 00:08:05,826
I can't tell you what to do.
126
00:08:05,997 --> 00:08:08,090
That's a choice you'll
have to make together.
127
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,061
What if it were your son?
128
00:08:13,438 --> 00:08:16,669
I thought I'd get sick of Art's food
but I'm beginning to realize...
129
00:08:16,841 --> 00:08:18,206
That you have no taste?
130
00:08:18,376 --> 00:08:20,844
That meat loaf is versatile
is what I was gonna say.
131
00:08:21,012 --> 00:08:23,742
I'm picking up a tuna melt
with coleslaw to go.
132
00:08:25,050 --> 00:08:26,608
Ever been to a shrink?
133
00:08:26,785 --> 00:08:29,549
Always thought
I could do it on my own. You?
134
00:08:29,788 --> 00:08:31,949
I'd sooner tell you my problems.
135
00:08:32,624 --> 00:08:35,650
I'm sorry. I accidentally made
your sandwich with dill pickles...
136
00:08:35,827 --> 00:08:38,955
...when you specifically asked for sweet.
I can remake it right now.
137
00:08:39,130 --> 00:08:40,791
That's not necessary Dwayne.
138
00:08:40,965 --> 00:08:45,766
I just hate myself for screwing up.
I never can do anything.
139
00:08:45,937 --> 00:08:47,700
- Mother was right.
- Dwayne...
140
00:08:47,872 --> 00:08:51,774
You have to let me Dr. Trott.
I know I can do a better job really.
141
00:08:51,943 --> 00:08:54,309
- I want to remake it.
- lf you insist.
142
00:08:54,479 --> 00:08:56,071
Thank you.
143
00:08:58,716 --> 00:09:01,207
You got him right where
you want him don't you?
144
00:09:01,419 --> 00:09:03,614
- I'm sorry?
- You thrive on it...
145
00:09:03,788 --> 00:09:06,348
...the insecurity the doubt
the self-loathing.
146
00:09:06,524 --> 00:09:09,357
You come into town every few months
stir up neuroses...
147
00:09:09,527 --> 00:09:11,654
...like lawn-mowing in the dust bowl.
148
00:09:11,896 --> 00:09:15,354
I don't create the feelings
I just give people a safe place to put them.
149
00:09:15,533 --> 00:09:18,195
You ride into town
like the Joan of Arc of Gestalt.
150
00:09:18,369 --> 00:09:21,065
A week later your patients
are reassurance junkies...
151
00:09:21,239 --> 00:09:25,335
...begging for a fix and you've ridden off
while someone has to pick up the pieces.
152
00:09:25,910 --> 00:09:28,276
How does that make you feel Harold?
153
00:09:28,446 --> 00:09:31,176
Do shrinks have that implanted
on a chip somewhere?
154
00:09:31,349 --> 00:09:34,682
Memorize a few key phrases buy a couch
you're Sigmund Freud?
155
00:09:34,853 --> 00:09:38,050
While I respect your point of view
and I'm glad you're comfortable...
156
00:09:38,223 --> 00:09:41,317
Do you ever say anything?
For God's sake get to the point!
157
00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:44,353
Is it possible that in reality
you thrive on it...
158
00:09:44,529 --> 00:09:49,125
...you derive satisfaction from and I'm
using your words "picking up the pieces"?
159
00:09:51,936 --> 00:09:55,702
Don't make me out to be some kind of
parasitic misery-loving egomaniac.
160
00:09:55,874 --> 00:09:58,104
Those are your terms not mine.
161
00:09:58,276 --> 00:10:01,575
Try to stay evidence-based Harold.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
162
00:10:02,013 --> 00:10:04,038
Thanks for the sandwich Dwayne.
163
00:10:04,215 --> 00:10:06,945
You gonna eat all that Harold
or can I have some?
164
00:10:11,890 --> 00:10:14,085
Bet you don't know
what this song's about.
165
00:10:14,259 --> 00:10:16,750
- I do too.
- What?
166
00:10:17,795 --> 00:10:19,387
It's about this girl.
167
00:10:19,564 --> 00:10:21,896
It's about sex.
Do you even know what that is?
168
00:10:47,258 --> 00:10:50,386
- What's that?
- Makeup. It's my mom's.
169
00:10:50,562 --> 00:10:51,995
You stole it?
170
00:11:11,983 --> 00:11:14,816
Delia I think it's time
for you to go home now.
171
00:11:18,256 --> 00:11:20,588
All right. I understand.
172
00:11:20,758 --> 00:11:23,283
No no there's really no need to explain.
173
00:11:23,461 --> 00:11:25,520
No no. Of course not.
174
00:11:25,697 --> 00:11:27,790
All right. We'll talk again soon.
175
00:11:28,733 --> 00:11:31,327
- Who was that?
- Just work stuff.
176
00:11:32,003 --> 00:11:35,097
- Was it about Colin Hart?
- Matter of fact it was.
177
00:11:36,007 --> 00:11:37,838
- What did they say?
- Who?
178
00:11:38,343 --> 00:11:41,608
They decided not to pursue
the surgical option.
179
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,645
What?
180
00:11:44,148 --> 00:11:46,639
You can hardly blame them.
It's a tough decision.
181
00:11:47,018 --> 00:11:49,543
- Wait. So that's just it?
- Well nothing's just it.
182
00:11:49,787 --> 00:11:52,017
Colin's status is constantly evolving.
Who knows?
183
00:11:52,190 --> 00:11:54,852
Tomorrow next week next month
could be a new ball game.
184
00:11:55,193 --> 00:11:57,787
- You're gonna let it lie.
- No point in forcing the issue.
185
00:11:58,062 --> 00:12:01,862
That's the new thing right
this whole laissez-faire country-doctor bit?
186
00:12:02,033 --> 00:12:04,558
Doctors don't have
all the answers Ephram.
187
00:12:04,736 --> 00:12:06,226
- They don't?
- No.
188
00:12:06,404 --> 00:12:08,929
Sometimes parents have the answers too.
189
00:12:09,107 --> 00:12:13,203
When you're done letting the cold air
out of the fridge set the table will you?
190
00:12:30,628 --> 00:12:32,323
Hey Ephram.
191
00:12:35,333 --> 00:12:37,358
My dad told me last night.
192
00:12:37,935 --> 00:12:40,927
- I'm sorry.
- I shouldn't have got my hopes up.
193
00:12:41,172 --> 00:12:43,834
You know once in a while
back in New York...
194
00:12:44,008 --> 00:12:46,476
...people would say no to my dad at first.
195
00:12:46,644 --> 00:12:49,511
- Then what happened?
- Well he'd persuade them he was right.
196
00:12:50,281 --> 00:12:52,112
- You know except...
- What?
197
00:12:52,517 --> 00:12:54,348
In this town people are different.
198
00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:58,148
You gotta know them 25 years
before they let you change their tire.
199
00:12:58,356 --> 00:13:01,223
So you don't think your dad
could convince the Harts?
200
00:13:01,592 --> 00:13:03,787
I don't know but...
201
00:13:05,730 --> 00:13:07,698
...maybe you could.
- Me?
202
00:13:07,865 --> 00:13:09,298
Really? You think?
203
00:13:09,467 --> 00:13:10,729
Yeah.
204
00:13:12,370 --> 00:13:13,632
All right.
205
00:13:14,605 --> 00:13:16,004
Thanks Ephram.
206
00:13:24,749 --> 00:13:27,013
Want to play foursquare with me?
207
00:13:28,119 --> 00:13:30,212
Magilla we're playing dodge ball. You in?
208
00:13:30,388 --> 00:13:32,652
- Yeah.
- We've got Magilla.
209
00:13:32,824 --> 00:13:35,019
Do you want to play with me
after school then?
210
00:13:35,259 --> 00:13:36,521
No.
211
00:13:36,728 --> 00:13:40,289
- Why not?
- Because last time I got in trouble moron.
212
00:13:43,368 --> 00:13:46,030
I can't. My mom said.
213
00:13:48,072 --> 00:13:49,596
Hey guys...
214
00:13:52,410 --> 00:13:55,811
Well that mole seems to be fine.
Let's check it next time you're in town.
215
00:13:55,980 --> 00:13:57,845
- Where are the other ones?
- Oh here.
216
00:14:00,551 --> 00:14:02,542
So when will you be in town again?
217
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,486
- Most likely February or March.
- Unorthodox way to practice.
218
00:14:06,791 --> 00:14:08,816
Well I could say the same of you.
219
00:14:08,993 --> 00:14:11,689
I was told this consultation
would be free of charge.
220
00:14:11,863 --> 00:14:14,093
I don't need the money
so I skip the paperwork.
221
00:14:14,265 --> 00:14:17,234
A glib response is somewhat
wasted on a psychotherapist.
222
00:14:19,303 --> 00:14:22,067
Well people keep asking me
and it gets kind of old...
223
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,765
...as if every act of altruism
required a rationale.
224
00:14:24,942 --> 00:14:26,569
Altruism?
225
00:14:26,911 --> 00:14:30,347
Yeah you know like...
Oh I get it I get it.
226
00:14:30,515 --> 00:14:32,483
I remember my psych rotation.
227
00:14:32,650 --> 00:14:35,778
You think I've got some kind
of subconscious motivator...
228
00:14:35,953 --> 00:14:39,753
...like winning friends
and influencing people or...
229
00:14:40,858 --> 00:14:43,850
Well go ahead. Give it your best shot.
230
00:14:44,162 --> 00:14:46,562
I just wonder what it means
when a neurosurgeon...
231
00:14:46,731 --> 00:14:48,961
...with a shot of making the history books...
232
00:14:49,133 --> 00:14:52,762
...moves to the middle of nowhere
and gives his resource away for free.
233
00:14:52,937 --> 00:14:55,872
And he won't be buying
a football team anytime soon?
234
00:14:56,140 --> 00:14:59,769
You got me doc.
I don't think about those kinds of things.
235
00:15:00,144 --> 00:15:04,240
I guess some people are just too
hardheaded for that kind of complexity.
236
00:15:04,916 --> 00:15:07,612
I believe that the average
level of neurosis...
237
00:15:07,785 --> 00:15:10,549
...in non-mentally-ill individuals
is strikingly similar.
238
00:15:10,721 --> 00:15:13,986
It's the spectrum of self-awareness
that differs.
239
00:15:14,158 --> 00:15:17,958
- I call it the denial factor.
- Well that sounds vaguely familiar.
240
00:15:18,229 --> 00:15:20,857
Who do you talk to Dr. Brown?
241
00:15:21,032 --> 00:15:23,523
A friend a colleague wife?
242
00:15:23,701 --> 00:15:26,761
I get a certain perverse pleasure
out of solving my own problems.
243
00:15:27,905 --> 00:15:29,930
Everyone needs someone.
244
00:15:31,342 --> 00:15:33,867
Well those other ones
look fine to me too.
245
00:15:34,045 --> 00:15:35,979
You might want to keep an eye on them.
246
00:15:36,948 --> 00:15:39,473
You can put your clothes on
unless you love that gown.
247
00:15:39,650 --> 00:15:41,140
Okay.
248
00:15:47,358 --> 00:15:49,326
So lay it on me.
249
00:15:50,328 --> 00:15:52,888
What does happen to those
unfortunate individuals...
250
00:15:53,064 --> 00:15:54,861
...who deny their own neuroses?
251
00:15:55,032 --> 00:15:57,091
The effects vary of course.
252
00:15:57,268 --> 00:15:59,736
In extreme cases
the pattern can be something...
253
00:15:59,904 --> 00:16:02,930
...along the lines
of complete emotional spiral...
254
00:16:03,107 --> 00:16:05,302
...resulting in total breakdown.
255
00:16:06,644 --> 00:16:08,407
You don't say.
256
00:16:13,284 --> 00:16:15,878
- Bright where are you going?
- Got a date.
257
00:16:16,387 --> 00:16:18,719
Tonight? No no no. You have to be here.
258
00:16:18,890 --> 00:16:21,290
I don't think so.
I got one shot with Jemma Maxwell.
259
00:16:21,459 --> 00:16:24,519
Mom's tuna/corn-flake casserole?
Not gonna seal the deal.
260
00:16:24,896 --> 00:16:28,457
Bright you can't go. You have to be here.
261
00:16:28,633 --> 00:16:30,567
- Why?
- Mom invited the Harts over.
262
00:16:30,735 --> 00:16:32,930
- So?
- I've got all the research prepared...
263
00:16:33,104 --> 00:16:36,505
...about the surgery. All you have to do is...
- I thought they said no.
264
00:16:36,674 --> 00:16:38,938
- They could change their minds.
- Fat chance.
265
00:16:39,110 --> 00:16:42,307
- I don't think we should be getting involved.
- We're already involved.
266
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,607
Colin is your best friend.
You have to help me.
267
00:16:44,782 --> 00:16:48,377
- You have to tell them...
- It's a lost cause Amy.
268
00:16:52,290 --> 00:16:55,555
What is wrong with you?
Don't you want him back?
269
00:17:00,498 --> 00:17:02,295
- That bad huh?
- It depends.
270
00:17:02,466 --> 00:17:04,661
- What is it?
- Point taken.
271
00:17:05,202 --> 00:17:06,760
What do you think Delia?
272
00:17:07,138 --> 00:17:08,799
It's fine.
273
00:17:09,140 --> 00:17:10,869
Is something wrong Delia?
274
00:17:11,042 --> 00:17:12,873
Magilla wouldn't play with me today.
275
00:17:13,644 --> 00:17:15,737
He probably wanted to play
with other friends.
276
00:17:15,980 --> 00:17:17,914
Magilla doesn't have other friends.
277
00:17:18,449 --> 00:17:20,542
I'm sure he'll want to play
with you tomorrow.
278
00:17:20,718 --> 00:17:22,049
No he won't.
279
00:17:22,219 --> 00:17:24,687
- He said he can't play with me anymore.
- Why not?
280
00:17:24,855 --> 00:17:26,083
His mom said.
281
00:17:26,257 --> 00:17:29,317
- Well why would she say a thing like that?
- She doesn't like me.
282
00:17:29,493 --> 00:17:31,324
That's impossible.
283
00:17:34,765 --> 00:17:36,198
You have to have a parent talk.
284
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:39,128
- What with Magilla? I'm not his parent.
- No.
285
00:17:39,303 --> 00:17:41,362
You have to talk to his parents.
286
00:17:41,606 --> 00:17:44,541
You know that's actually
a very good idea Ephram.
287
00:17:45,009 --> 00:17:47,477
Tell you what we'll go
over there right after dinner.
288
00:17:47,645 --> 00:17:50,409
We can stop off and pick up
some ice cream on the way over.
289
00:17:50,581 --> 00:17:52,344
Sort of a peace offering.
290
00:17:53,351 --> 00:17:54,784
That might work.
291
00:17:54,952 --> 00:17:58,513
I can't remember the last time
we were so well taken care of.
292
00:17:58,689 --> 00:18:01,283
- Thank you for having us Rose.
- How are you holding up?
293
00:18:01,659 --> 00:18:04,093
It must be hard to have
a nice time knowing Colin's...
294
00:18:04,261 --> 00:18:07,094
- Amy.
- I think about him all the time.
295
00:18:07,264 --> 00:18:09,494
Then why won't Dr. Brown
be performing surgery...?
296
00:18:09,667 --> 00:18:12,932
Amy. You'll have to forgive her.
She's been under some strain lately.
297
00:18:13,104 --> 00:18:16,164
- Don't talk about me like I'm not here.
- Amy Nicole that's enough.
298
00:18:16,340 --> 00:18:17,830
It's all right Rose.
299
00:18:19,577 --> 00:18:21,238
I feel the same way you do honey.
300
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,173
There's nothing that we can do.
301
00:18:26,117 --> 00:18:27,778
Yes there is.
302
00:18:28,586 --> 00:18:32,488
Dr. Brown is one of the premier
brain surgeons in the United States.
303
00:18:33,057 --> 00:18:37,517
Patients fly halfway around the world
for a consultation and we have him...
304
00:18:37,828 --> 00:18:39,420
...right here.
305
00:18:39,597 --> 00:18:41,588
And he wants to help us.
306
00:18:41,766 --> 00:18:43,256
No.
307
00:18:43,801 --> 00:18:45,462
No he doesn't.
308
00:18:46,437 --> 00:18:48,928
We agreed that Colin
should have the surgery...
309
00:18:49,106 --> 00:18:51,301
...and it was Dr. Brown
who changed his mind.
310
00:18:56,814 --> 00:19:00,215
These things are starting to melt.
You think I should ring again?
311
00:19:00,384 --> 00:19:03,547
You rang four times.
They don't want us to come in.
312
00:19:04,288 --> 00:19:06,153
There we go. See? Good evening.
313
00:19:06,323 --> 00:19:09,292
I'm Andy Brown and I think
you know my daughter Delia.
314
00:19:09,627 --> 00:19:11,822
I hope you don't mind
our dropping by like this.
315
00:19:12,363 --> 00:19:14,957
We rang the bell a couple times
and figured...
316
00:19:15,132 --> 00:19:17,498
- I really have some...
- I'll get right to the point.
317
00:19:17,735 --> 00:19:20,727
It's come to my attention
that there's been a misunderstanding.
318
00:19:20,905 --> 00:19:25,239
My daughter's under the impression you
don't want her playing with your son Stuart.
319
00:19:25,409 --> 00:19:28,378
Do you really want to discuss
this in front of your daughter?
320
00:19:28,546 --> 00:19:32,346
- What's this Jenny?
- This is a friend of Stuart's Howard...
321
00:19:32,516 --> 00:19:34,609
...and her father.
- Pleased to meet you.
322
00:19:34,785 --> 00:19:37,515
Delia was telling me an amusing story
on the way over here.
323
00:19:37,688 --> 00:19:40,452
She said that she and your son
were playing the other day...
324
00:19:40,624 --> 00:19:42,683
...and this is hard
for even me to believe...
325
00:19:42,860 --> 00:19:46,352
...because Delia has been a tomboy
ever since she was in the womb...
326
00:19:46,530 --> 00:19:49,829
...but well they were playing dress-up.
327
00:19:50,334 --> 00:19:53,599
Well I can assure you that
as a physician that at this age...
328
00:19:53,771 --> 00:19:56,262
...this kind of play is perfectly all right.
329
00:19:56,674 --> 00:20:00,610
If it bothers you you don't have to worry
because it won't happen again.
330
00:20:00,778 --> 00:20:03,611
- Why didn't you tell me about this?
- I was going to.
331
00:20:04,348 --> 00:20:06,714
- Keep your daughter away from our son.
- I'm sorry?
332
00:20:06,884 --> 00:20:08,511
You heard me.
333
00:20:10,254 --> 00:20:12,051
Please don't come back.
334
00:20:15,493 --> 00:20:17,552
Let's get these home before they melt.
335
00:20:20,664 --> 00:20:22,097
Dad?
336
00:20:24,034 --> 00:20:25,763
Is something wrong with me?
337
00:20:30,107 --> 00:20:32,041
Nothing is wrong with you sweetheart.
338
00:20:33,344 --> 00:20:35,471
There is nothing wrong with you.
339
00:20:52,797 --> 00:20:54,526
Why didn't you tell me?
340
00:20:55,199 --> 00:20:56,632
What?
341
00:20:56,934 --> 00:20:58,959
Your father turned them down?
342
00:20:59,136 --> 00:21:01,297
- What?
- The Harts asked him to do the surgery...
343
00:21:01,472 --> 00:21:03,497
Why wouldn't my dad want to operate?
344
00:21:03,674 --> 00:21:05,801
- You tell me.
- No it's impossible.
345
00:21:05,976 --> 00:21:08,877
My dad's a jerk but he's never
turned anyone down before.
346
00:21:09,046 --> 00:21:12,072
- My dad's never met odds he didn't like.
- He didn't like Colin's.
347
00:21:12,249 --> 00:21:14,979
- You sure you got this right?
- The Harts told me.
348
00:21:15,152 --> 00:21:19,486
The guy I know would give his left nut
to rescue a kid from a coma and be a hero.
349
00:21:20,291 --> 00:21:24,489
- Are you sure he didn't tell you anything?
- Why would I lie to you Amy?
350
00:21:24,662 --> 00:21:28,359
You're the only person I care about
in this whole stupid town.
351
00:21:30,034 --> 00:21:31,524
Look I didn't know.
352
00:21:32,503 --> 00:21:33,765
I swear.
353
00:21:40,544 --> 00:21:45,038
There are still too many chairs in this room.
I said 10 chairs and I meant it.
354
00:21:45,216 --> 00:21:49,277
We need to redo the color coding
on the patient files by Friday at the latest.
355
00:21:49,453 --> 00:21:52,422
And get a copy of the seating chart
for the recital.
356
00:21:52,590 --> 00:21:57,584
We don't want any surprises like last year.
Oh and get me some coffee will you?
357
00:22:08,138 --> 00:22:09,696
Good morning Dr. Abbott.
358
00:22:13,911 --> 00:22:15,572
Good morning. Was there something...?
359
00:22:15,746 --> 00:22:18,579
When you say "we"
do you mean we or do you mean me?
360
00:22:19,817 --> 00:22:21,079
I'm sorry l...
361
00:22:21,252 --> 00:22:24,415
"We need to redo the color coding."
Do you mean we or me?
362
00:22:25,322 --> 00:22:27,790
Well you I suppose.
363
00:22:27,958 --> 00:22:30,119
Then I'd appreciate it if you'd say:
364
00:22:30,294 --> 00:22:33,786
"Could you please have the folders
redone by Friday Louise?"
365
00:22:33,964 --> 00:22:36,694
And furthermore
I was not hired to make coffee...
366
00:22:37,001 --> 00:22:38,901
...so if I choose to do so...
367
00:22:39,069 --> 00:22:42,937
...it will be on a case-by-case
personal-favor basis. Is that understood?
368
00:22:44,475 --> 00:22:45,840
Yes Louise.
369
00:22:46,010 --> 00:22:49,468
You're the one who said my lack
of assertiveness was limiting my potential.
370
00:22:49,647 --> 00:22:52,912
- Oh now I only...
- So I signed up with Dr. Trott.
371
00:22:55,719 --> 00:22:57,311
You can hang your own scarf.
372
00:23:06,764 --> 00:23:08,026
No.
373
00:23:09,266 --> 00:23:11,029
Dr. Trott!
374
00:23:12,703 --> 00:23:14,637
Dr. Trott!
375
00:23:15,139 --> 00:23:18,336
Dr. Trott! What do you call this?
376
00:23:21,145 --> 00:23:23,636
- A scarf?
- Not that.
377
00:23:23,814 --> 00:23:26,647
My assistant Louise.
She was a completely normal person...
378
00:23:26,817 --> 00:23:30,844
...before you got your rabid invasive
self-indulgent paws on her.
379
00:23:31,021 --> 00:23:34,479
And stop filling people's heads
with this garbage. Have you no scruples?
380
00:23:34,658 --> 00:23:38,424
You wreck people's lives and charge them
for it. You're like a televangelist.
381
00:23:38,595 --> 00:23:41,120
- I am having a breakthrough.
- All right all right.
382
00:23:41,899 --> 00:23:43,958
Excuse me Brenda.
383
00:23:44,134 --> 00:23:46,364
Excuse me I'm not done talking yet.
384
00:23:46,537 --> 00:23:49,165
I'm done listening though.
Good day Harold.
385
00:23:49,340 --> 00:23:52,366
Oh no it is not. It is not a good day!
386
00:23:52,543 --> 00:23:55,535
Do you hear me Dr. Feelgood?
387
00:23:55,713 --> 00:23:58,307
I will have you evicted!
388
00:23:58,482 --> 00:24:01,315
I will you have towed you...
389
00:24:02,686 --> 00:24:04,677
You're all crazy!
390
00:24:07,324 --> 00:24:09,554
- Hi sweetheart.
- Hey.
391
00:24:09,727 --> 00:24:12,924
That didn't sound very enthusiastic.
Friend still not talking to you?
392
00:24:13,864 --> 00:24:16,264
That kid's got a lot of willpower
for a third-grader.
393
00:24:16,433 --> 00:24:18,196
He wasn't in school today.
394
00:24:18,969 --> 00:24:20,664
Well he's probably just out sick.
395
00:24:20,838 --> 00:24:23,363
I asked Miss Violet.
She said he wasn't coming back.
396
00:24:24,908 --> 00:24:26,239
Do you believe this?
397
00:24:26,410 --> 00:24:29,436
Those parents yanked their kid
out of school for playing dress-up?
398
00:24:29,613 --> 00:24:32,673
I mean that's... That's medieval.
Here's what we're gonna do...
399
00:24:32,850 --> 00:24:35,410
...we are going over there now.
- Word on the QT doc.
400
00:24:35,586 --> 00:24:37,486
- I will see they listen to reason.
- Boss...
401
00:24:37,654 --> 00:24:39,884
These people know nothing
about child-rearing.
402
00:24:40,057 --> 00:24:42,287
If I can tell that they're doing it wrong...
403
00:24:42,459 --> 00:24:45,292
In your office sarge!
404
00:24:48,432 --> 00:24:50,423
Look I don't know what the...
405
00:24:51,835 --> 00:24:55,066
As Dr. Sourpuss' nurse
I was privy to some information...
406
00:24:55,239 --> 00:24:58,731
...which I normally wouldn't disclose
but under the circumstances...
407
00:24:59,009 --> 00:25:00,874
It's about little Stuart Magilla.
408
00:25:02,046 --> 00:25:04,571
- He wasn't born a he.
- What?
409
00:25:04,748 --> 00:25:08,115
Not a she neither exactly.
Ambiguous genitalia.
410
00:25:08,552 --> 00:25:11,248
What some in the profession
call pseudohermaphrodite.
411
00:25:11,422 --> 00:25:14,619
This is the gorilla kid?
The one who put a bug up his own nose?
412
00:25:14,792 --> 00:25:19,729
The parents see that they're in serious on
this one and they send him to a specialist.
413
00:25:19,897 --> 00:25:22,832
This genius follows
the prevailing wisdom...
414
00:25:23,233 --> 00:25:28,330
...and suggests that since baby Magilla's
got a fairly well-formed you-know-what...
415
00:25:28,505 --> 00:25:30,564
...and generally looks masculine...
416
00:25:30,741 --> 00:25:33,972
...the parents should rear him as a boy
no questions asked.
417
00:25:35,179 --> 00:25:39,639
Then Delia comes along and they
see their boy playing with a girl...
418
00:25:39,817 --> 00:25:41,079
...playing like a girl.
419
00:25:41,251 --> 00:25:44,914
The situation will only become more
complicated as he approaches puberty.
420
00:25:45,089 --> 00:25:48,923
- I should probably talk to them about...
- You can talk till you're blue in the face.
421
00:25:49,093 --> 00:25:54,588
It's not gonna change this family's ideas
of how to raise their child.
422
00:25:54,765 --> 00:25:56,460
- Not change per se but...
- No.
423
00:25:56,633 --> 00:25:58,726
- All I'm saying is I could just...
- No.
424
00:25:59,303 --> 00:26:02,204
Let me tell you this
and I mean no offense by it.
425
00:26:02,372 --> 00:26:06,172
But I'm not entirely sure anyone's
ever told you this before.
426
00:26:06,677 --> 00:26:09,009
There are some things...
427
00:26:09,179 --> 00:26:12,478
...that you can't fix.
428
00:26:22,126 --> 00:26:24,617
I'm ready. Let's go.
429
00:26:26,396 --> 00:26:29,058
- Need some help with that?
- I got it.
430
00:26:29,233 --> 00:26:31,098
Is Amy nervous about the recital?
431
00:26:31,268 --> 00:26:32,860
She's too pissed off.
432
00:26:33,337 --> 00:26:34,998
These are difficult decisions.
433
00:26:35,172 --> 00:26:38,699
What the Harts decided is their
prerogative and we have to respect that.
434
00:26:38,876 --> 00:26:42,039
What the Harts decided?
What you decided for them.
435
00:26:42,212 --> 00:26:45,978
- This is so typical. The one time it matters...
- It always matters Ephram.
436
00:26:46,150 --> 00:26:48,983
It just so happens that this time
it matters to you.
437
00:26:49,153 --> 00:26:51,678
- But that doesn't mean...
- Amy matters to me.
438
00:26:52,189 --> 00:26:55,352
And as pathetic as it may be
you were her only shot.
439
00:26:56,226 --> 00:26:59,423
She's not used to being
let down by you. Not yet.
440
00:26:59,963 --> 00:27:01,692
Listen to me Ephram.
441
00:27:01,865 --> 00:27:04,698
These people asked me
what I would do it if were my son.
442
00:27:04,868 --> 00:27:07,302
And I told them
that I thought it was risky.
443
00:27:07,471 --> 00:27:10,702
It's tempting to leap in and try
and surgically fix things.
444
00:27:10,874 --> 00:27:12,899
That's a load. You know it.
445
00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:16,637
If it were your son if it were me
you'd let me sit there in a coma...
446
00:27:16,813 --> 00:27:20,840
...when there was a zillionth-of-a-percent
chance you could ride in and save me?
447
00:27:21,618 --> 00:27:22,880
I don't think so.
448
00:27:23,253 --> 00:27:25,915
If I didn't know any better
I'd think you were scared.
449
00:27:27,724 --> 00:27:29,385
We're gonna be late.
450
00:27:32,896 --> 00:27:34,158
Excuse me.
451
00:27:41,271 --> 00:27:45,071
Would you mind moving over one
so my daughter and I could sit together?
452
00:27:45,409 --> 00:27:46,671
No.
453
00:27:47,945 --> 00:27:49,742
"No" you wouldn't mind or...?
454
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,408
I'm a person and I'm important.
455
00:27:54,151 --> 00:27:56,745
You wouldn't be a patient of Dr. Trott's
would you?
456
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,683
Well yes.
457
00:27:59,456 --> 00:28:01,583
Sit on the inside sweetheart.
458
00:28:05,662 --> 00:28:07,493
You really got this down.
459
00:28:07,664 --> 00:28:09,154
I read The Art of War.
460
00:28:09,333 --> 00:28:11,563
How long did you have to wait
for these seats?
461
00:28:12,135 --> 00:28:13,534
Three hours.
462
00:28:13,704 --> 00:28:16,070
He brings his backlog of medical journals.
463
00:28:20,410 --> 00:28:23,072
The Harts told us about your decision.
464
00:28:23,247 --> 00:28:26,114
It's what I'd do.
It's the more cautious choice.
465
00:28:26,283 --> 00:28:28,251
Well thank you. I'm glad you agree.
466
00:28:29,086 --> 00:28:30,781
I said it's what I'd do.
467
00:28:37,427 --> 00:28:38,689
Amy?
468
00:28:41,765 --> 00:28:45,257
Colin would never forgive me
if I didn't make sure you got these.
469
00:28:46,036 --> 00:28:48,527
I know he would give anything to be here.
470
00:28:58,348 --> 00:29:00,009
Good luck.
471
00:29:07,291 --> 00:29:08,553
Amy.
472
00:29:09,626 --> 00:29:10,888
Amy.
473
00:29:13,030 --> 00:29:15,590
- What's wrong?
- He's not coming back.
474
00:29:17,034 --> 00:29:18,296
You don't know that.
475
00:29:18,468 --> 00:29:21,028
He could come out of it. He probably will.
476
00:29:22,839 --> 00:29:24,101
He's gone.
477
00:29:25,976 --> 00:29:27,238
Amy.
478
00:29:28,578 --> 00:29:30,068
Amy.
479
00:29:45,662 --> 00:29:48,961
Dr. Abbott. Dr. Abbott
you have to come back here now.
480
00:29:49,166 --> 00:29:50,929
It's Amy. Come on.
481
00:29:53,970 --> 00:29:55,403
Amy?
482
00:29:56,740 --> 00:29:59,300
Amy honey? Honey?
483
00:29:59,476 --> 00:30:01,842
Sweetheart can you hear me?
484
00:30:02,012 --> 00:30:03,946
We're going home.
485
00:30:04,114 --> 00:30:06,139
We're going home sweetheart.
486
00:30:06,550 --> 00:30:09,610
Come on sweetheart. Here we go.
487
00:30:25,569 --> 00:30:27,799
- I can't talk to you.
- It's just for a minute.
488
00:30:28,004 --> 00:30:29,665
You saw what happened before. Sorry.
489
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,035
I'm not here to tell you
how to raise your kids.
490
00:30:32,209 --> 00:30:33,471
I need your help.
491
00:30:33,844 --> 00:30:35,505
Please.
492
00:30:36,580 --> 00:30:40,016
Come around to the side door.
Don't knock.
493
00:30:54,164 --> 00:30:57,156
Did you pull your son out of school
because of what happened?
494
00:30:57,401 --> 00:30:58,891
Oh no no.
495
00:30:59,069 --> 00:31:03,438
My husband and I have been thinking about
sending him to a boy's school anyway.
496
00:31:03,607 --> 00:31:06,041
I know about your son's condition.
497
00:31:07,511 --> 00:31:09,445
- How could you...?
- I won't.
498
00:31:09,613 --> 00:31:14,346
I'm ethically bound not to disclose
your son's medical history to anyone.
499
00:31:14,518 --> 00:31:16,952
But I want to help you. As a doctor I've...
500
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,021
We've been to doctors.
Don't you understand?
501
00:31:21,958 --> 00:31:24,153
All we want to do is to put this behind us.
502
00:31:24,628 --> 00:31:27,256
Well Stuart won't be able
to put it behind him.
503
00:31:28,031 --> 00:31:30,295
Maybe that's not such a bad thing.
504
00:31:30,834 --> 00:31:33,701
These kids grow up
to be very special people.
505
00:31:33,937 --> 00:31:36,269
They've got a lifetime
of empathy inside of them...
506
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,807
...by the time they turn 10
and that's a tremendous gift.
507
00:31:40,343 --> 00:31:43,972
- But you cannot put him in a box and try...
- Please just go.
508
00:31:44,147 --> 00:31:46,479
Stuart's not the reason I came here.
509
00:31:49,553 --> 00:31:52,647
But I would like to ask you
to do one thing for me.
510
00:31:54,691 --> 00:31:56,386
For my daughter.
511
00:32:16,046 --> 00:32:19,311
I brought you the hat you like. Take it.
512
00:32:20,350 --> 00:32:23,285
- I don't like that hat.
- Yeah you do. You said.
513
00:32:25,288 --> 00:32:26,846
Okay.
514
00:32:28,425 --> 00:32:31,258
It's too small.
People will know it's from a girl.
515
00:32:31,428 --> 00:32:32,690
So?
516
00:32:33,363 --> 00:32:35,194
I hate girls.
517
00:32:35,799 --> 00:32:37,960
Well I hate boys.
518
00:32:39,703 --> 00:32:40,965
All boys?
519
00:32:42,472 --> 00:32:43,803
No.
520
00:32:44,574 --> 00:32:47,065
I don't hate girls I guess.
521
00:32:49,813 --> 00:32:51,280
Goodbye Magilla.
522
00:32:52,883 --> 00:32:54,714
Goodbye Delia.
523
00:33:04,027 --> 00:33:05,961
Ready to go kiddo?
524
00:33:09,099 --> 00:33:12,034
- How did that go?
- Fine.
525
00:33:13,303 --> 00:33:16,704
Maybe you two could stay in touch
with letters or e-mail.
526
00:33:20,076 --> 00:33:23,568
- You'll make new friends Delia.
- I don't want to make new friends.
527
00:33:23,747 --> 00:33:26,477
I don't want to say goodbye
to people anymore.
528
00:33:32,155 --> 00:33:33,554
- You look better.
- Hi guys.
529
00:33:33,723 --> 00:33:35,850
- I feel better.
- Really?
530
00:33:36,159 --> 00:33:38,218
I'm totally fine.
531
00:33:38,395 --> 00:33:41,421
- Because last night was pretty...
- Freaky right?
532
00:33:41,598 --> 00:33:45,364
The exact same thing happened to me once
before when I went on this family trip.
533
00:33:45,535 --> 00:33:47,332
I didn't have time to study for a test.
534
00:33:47,504 --> 00:33:51,565
I just spazzed out. I just lost it.
I guess it's good that I got it out...
535
00:33:51,741 --> 00:33:55,006
...because I feel completely
totally together you know?
536
00:33:55,679 --> 00:33:58,113
I'm just embarrassed that
everyone saw me like that.
537
00:33:58,281 --> 00:34:00,875
It's so not typical of me. What?
538
00:34:01,117 --> 00:34:03,813
You're talking faster
than my brain processes language.
539
00:34:05,388 --> 00:34:07,322
Sorry. I'm a little bit...
540
00:34:08,491 --> 00:34:11,016
Anyway so how are you?
541
00:34:11,194 --> 00:34:13,628
- How are you?
- I'm great.
542
00:34:14,264 --> 00:34:16,289
How are you really?
543
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,525
I'm completely fine.
544
00:34:20,003 --> 00:34:21,265
Really. I am.
545
00:34:21,438 --> 00:34:25,499
- Because you know if not you can tell me.
- I just told you I am.
546
00:34:25,809 --> 00:34:29,074
All right but if you want
to talk about anything I'll be here...
547
00:34:29,245 --> 00:34:33,409
Oh God. I completely forgot I'm supposed
to meet Kayla and Paige to go to the mall.
548
00:34:33,583 --> 00:34:35,210
I gotta go. Sorry. Sorry.
549
00:34:35,385 --> 00:34:36,784
Here.
550
00:34:37,988 --> 00:34:39,319
I'll be here.
551
00:34:39,489 --> 00:34:41,650
If you want to see him
I gotta have a reason.
552
00:34:41,958 --> 00:34:43,858
You could be the Unabomber
for all I know.
553
00:34:44,127 --> 00:34:45,924
Not today Mother.
554
00:34:46,963 --> 00:34:49,193
Now you call me if there's
a problem all right?
555
00:34:49,366 --> 00:34:50,958
Okay doctor.
556
00:34:51,534 --> 00:34:53,434
- Hello Marge.
- Hello.
557
00:34:53,603 --> 00:34:55,161
Dr. Abbott.
558
00:34:55,372 --> 00:34:57,670
- Could I see you for a moment?
- Sure.
559
00:34:58,875 --> 00:35:00,672
In private.
560
00:35:08,018 --> 00:35:09,952
I love what you've done with the place.
561
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,453
A little examining-table paper
some tongue depressors sky's the limit.
562
00:35:13,657 --> 00:35:16,922
I find it's more convenient
to store extra swabs under the table.
563
00:35:17,193 --> 00:35:21,220
Did you really come into my office
to tell me where you store your swabs?
564
00:35:21,398 --> 00:35:23,696
First day you came
you thought you recognized me.
565
00:35:23,867 --> 00:35:25,596
You said it was from the mental ward.
566
00:35:26,836 --> 00:35:28,736
That was a good one.
567
00:35:30,373 --> 00:35:32,170
You did recognize me.
568
00:35:32,342 --> 00:35:35,175
I was finishing up at the VA
when you got there.
569
00:35:35,879 --> 00:35:40,907
There's no reason you should remember me.
You were harder to miss.
570
00:35:41,384 --> 00:35:44,512
Even then we all knew
we were in the presence...
571
00:35:44,688 --> 00:35:47,919
...of something greater than ourselves.
572
00:35:48,291 --> 00:35:52,193
It's like being on the junior high
basketball team with Michael Jordan.
573
00:35:53,263 --> 00:35:55,823
The chief would describe
each new feat of yours...
574
00:35:55,999 --> 00:35:59,162
...with unmitigated jealousy
almost hatred.
575
00:35:59,335 --> 00:36:02,270
Gee I always thought Doug liked me.
576
00:36:04,207 --> 00:36:05,902
He hated you.
577
00:36:06,142 --> 00:36:10,943
You brought him face to face with his worst
fear that he would never be extraordinary.
578
00:36:11,114 --> 00:36:15,778
He met you he abandoned
his dreams of greatness.
579
00:36:15,952 --> 00:36:17,249
He wasn't alone.
580
00:36:17,954 --> 00:36:20,218
- So you were going to be...
- A surgeon.
581
00:36:20,423 --> 00:36:23,483
Yes. I was almost a surgeon.
582
00:36:23,660 --> 00:36:25,491
Unfortunately I...
583
00:36:27,497 --> 00:36:29,658
I discovered I didn't have the hands for it.
584
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,830
So after my residency I just...
585
00:36:34,204 --> 00:36:37,367
...came back here
joined my father's practice in this...
586
00:36:38,174 --> 00:36:40,972
...miserable little town.
I became a family doctor.
587
00:36:41,144 --> 00:36:43,635
No small thing in times like these.
588
00:36:44,614 --> 00:36:46,241
But you...
589
00:36:49,953 --> 00:36:54,219
You are a man with a gift
much larger than yourself...
590
00:36:54,390 --> 00:36:56,881
...larger even than your own...
591
00:36:57,060 --> 00:37:00,689
...hopelessly-bloated ego
if that's possible.
592
00:37:02,665 --> 00:37:03,962
Thank you.
593
00:37:04,501 --> 00:37:07,664
Sharon and James Hart
don't know who you are. I do.
594
00:37:07,904 --> 00:37:09,394
I do.
595
00:37:09,572 --> 00:37:11,665
They don't know
what you can do for their son.
596
00:37:11,841 --> 00:37:15,106
They're terrified of making a mistake.
I know and you know...
597
00:37:15,278 --> 00:37:17,769
...somewhere within
the world's thickest dura...
598
00:37:17,947 --> 00:37:21,644
...you owe it to this kid to perform
whatever miracle you've got up your sleeve.
599
00:37:21,818 --> 00:37:25,584
You owe it to Colin
and to his parents and to...
600
00:37:26,489 --> 00:37:30,118
...my poor heartbroken daughter
and to the universe or whoever...
601
00:37:30,293 --> 00:37:34,320
...decided that you would be Leonardo
and I would be...
602
00:37:35,632 --> 00:37:38,123
...less remarkable. Hell you owe it to me.
603
00:37:54,951 --> 00:37:56,543
What are you playing?
604
00:37:57,954 --> 00:37:59,216
Nothing.
605
00:37:59,422 --> 00:38:01,117
Did you compose this "nothing"?
606
00:38:01,291 --> 00:38:03,691
What are you doing here anyway?
There's no rehearsal.
607
00:38:03,860 --> 00:38:06,693
I had a free period so I thought I'd...
608
00:38:08,865 --> 00:38:10,856
That's not true.
609
00:38:14,637 --> 00:38:17,071
I came because I wanted
to tell you something.
610
00:38:25,615 --> 00:38:28,106
Yesterday when I told you that...
611
00:38:28,551 --> 00:38:30,451
...I was okay...
612
00:38:31,554 --> 00:38:32,816
...I wasn't.
613
00:38:34,991 --> 00:38:37,152
I'm not. I'm not okay.
614
00:38:41,698 --> 00:38:44,326
I remember in fourth grade...
615
00:38:45,335 --> 00:38:49,203
...Miss Kitzlinger's class
and Mrs. Barber's class...
616
00:38:49,505 --> 00:38:52,303
...went on a field trip to the brewery.
617
00:38:54,377 --> 00:38:56,607
And on the way back home...
618
00:38:57,847 --> 00:39:00,281
...I got into the wrong bus.
619
00:39:01,317 --> 00:39:03,512
Colin thought they had left me behind.
620
00:39:04,787 --> 00:39:07,483
He walked back three miles...
621
00:39:08,057 --> 00:39:10,821
...and stayed at the brewery till nightfall...
622
00:39:10,994 --> 00:39:12,962
...trying to find me.
623
00:39:15,231 --> 00:39:16,994
He couldn't leave me behind.
624
00:39:22,772 --> 00:39:24,262
What were you playing before?
625
00:39:24,674 --> 00:39:27,370
You said nobody
brought you flowers but Colin.
626
00:39:28,711 --> 00:39:30,736
It would have been your first solo...
627
00:39:30,980 --> 00:39:33,540
...so I wanted to make sure
someone remembered.
628
00:39:35,418 --> 00:39:37,443
I wrote you a song.
629
00:39:40,223 --> 00:39:41,690
Will you play it for me?
630
00:39:41,925 --> 00:39:44,120
No. It's not finished.
631
00:39:44,294 --> 00:39:45,727
Please.
632
00:40:14,324 --> 00:40:16,451
The thing about your touchstone...
633
00:40:16,626 --> 00:40:20,722
... you come to depend on it no matter
whether you set out to or not.
634
00:40:20,964 --> 00:40:24,456
But not even your own personal
Rock of Gibraltar is permanent.
635
00:40:24,801 --> 00:40:27,326
Rock has her own needs to think of.
636
00:40:27,503 --> 00:40:31,633
And just because you want someone
to stick around doesn't mean she will.
637
00:40:32,241 --> 00:40:34,675
Dr. Brown knew something about that.
638
00:40:38,781 --> 00:40:41,215
You got time for one more
hopeless case doc?
639
00:40:45,788 --> 00:40:47,915
I had a medical consultation last week.
640
00:40:48,758 --> 00:40:50,953
Parents wouldn't consent.
641
00:40:51,260 --> 00:40:53,160
They wouldn't put their faith in me.
642
00:40:53,363 --> 00:40:54,921
Why do you think that is?
643
00:40:55,631 --> 00:40:58,293
They didn't believe
that I could heal their son.
644
00:40:58,468 --> 00:41:00,402
- Did you?
- What?
645
00:41:00,636 --> 00:41:02,866
Did you believe you could heal him?
646
00:41:03,172 --> 00:41:04,730
I was advocating the procedure.
647
00:41:05,174 --> 00:41:09,611
I believed it was the proper course of action
with the best chance of a positive outcome.
648
00:41:09,779 --> 00:41:12,407
Not the surgery the surgeon.
649
00:41:12,648 --> 00:41:13,910
You.
650
00:41:14,083 --> 00:41:16,881
I wasn't thinking about me or my abilities.
651
00:41:17,053 --> 00:41:19,044
I was thinking about these people.
652
00:41:19,222 --> 00:41:21,190
Someone's parents.
653
00:41:21,457 --> 00:41:23,357
Someone's son.
654
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,589
This kid is the boyfriend of a girl
that my kid goes to school with.
655
00:41:28,998 --> 00:41:31,831
I was thinking that
if something goes wrong...
656
00:41:32,301 --> 00:41:34,428
...if we can't bring him out...
657
00:41:36,439 --> 00:41:38,930
I was thinking about the outcome.
658
00:41:39,842 --> 00:41:41,742
You never think about the outcome.
659
00:41:44,781 --> 00:41:46,715
I just lied to you.
660
00:41:49,585 --> 00:41:51,348
The truth is...
661
00:41:52,588 --> 00:41:54,215
...in the end...
662
00:41:54,991 --> 00:41:56,652
...it was me.
663
00:41:58,761 --> 00:42:00,854
I told them I wouldn't do it.
664
00:42:01,831 --> 00:42:03,628
You were scared.
665
00:42:04,901 --> 00:42:07,028
My son said something like that to me.
666
00:42:08,671 --> 00:42:10,400
And?
667
00:42:12,041 --> 00:42:14,339
It was easier before...
668
00:42:15,111 --> 00:42:18,478
...when I didn't know so much
about my patients...
669
00:42:20,216 --> 00:42:22,081
...when I didn't care.
670
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:26,381
I used to be able to fix things.
671
00:42:26,856 --> 00:42:30,223
You told me that you
moved here to be a father...
672
00:42:30,393 --> 00:42:32,190
...and a doctor.
673
00:42:33,196 --> 00:42:34,458
Now you are.
674
00:42:34,964 --> 00:42:36,488
