Doc Hollywood Page #2

in the middle of the road.

I told you my insurance company

would be happy to pay for a new fence.

I built that fence myself!

Neither you nor your insurance

can pay me for a fence I built myself.

Can't be done. Next best thing

would be a fence that you built.

These hands are delicate instruments.

But I doubt if you could build

a good fence anyway. Therefore,

seeing how youre a licensed physician,

and we're a town in acute

shortage of medical care..

Oh, you wouldn't...

Your sentence will be sixteen

hours of community service,

served as resident doctor

at Grady Memorial Hospital.

All right, look. I have to be in

Los Angeles by Tuesday, so I don't...

Thirty-two hours.

This is extortion!

You want sixty-four hours?

No.

Court is adjourned.

All rise.

I am so f***ed.

Watch your language, Doc.

You're in the buckle of the Bible Belt here.

Might try saying, fudge or something.

"Fiddlesticks" too strong?

Depends.

Don't you worry about

your automobile, now, Doc.

See, I always wanted an excuse

to buy me a set of metric tools.

Sugar.

Sh*t!

I'm Dr. Benjamin Stone. Nurse Packer.

I'm assuming Judge Evans told you.

Fine, here's what I need. Umm,

.. comfortable bed, hot shower, warm meal,

locker to put my stuff in, general idea...

Could you show me

some kind of identification, please?

I'm wearing glasses there.

I wear contacts now.

My hair's a little shorter.

That's a mustache. It's a bad picture.

If you could just direct me to the

physician on call tonight, I'll speak to him

"When to call me. You've been stabbed,

shot, poisoned, separated from an appendage,

knocked or beaten unconscious,

run over by a tractor mower,

.. or generally about to bleed to death.

Otherwise, leave me alone.

Signed, Dr. Aurelius Edsel Hogue, M.D."

I'm in the Twilight Zone.

Zwieback and Vitamin C

in the upper cabinet if you're hungry.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

This is the best you can do?

No.

Oh good! You're awake.

Welcome to Grady. I'm Mayor Nicholson.

Boy, second I heard there's

a big city doctor here in town,

.. I left that rehearsal. I high-tailed

over here like an eight-legged dog.

See if there was anything I could do

to make you more comfortable.

Shoot, we can do better than this.

No, better than this?

Say, these your duffels?

I'm not claiming that Grady's no Paris,

France or nothing,

.. but we do got two gas stations.

Got us a Winn-Dixie,

.. got us cable TV. You like to play tennis?

We got a brand new tennis court

over to the high school.

No, you doctors play golf, though,

don't you?

I'm learning how to surf, actually.

Isn't this pretty?

We had this fixed up for a doctor. We got it
