I love it down here. I got a million

ideas and I know what I want to do.

...not home right now.

If it's a medical

emergency,

Our beeper numbers

are 555-2201 and 2.

Wait for the beep.

dad,

this is me, Jeff.

Listen, you were right about school.

I was wrong, and I got a million ideas

Dad! Listen it's me, Jeff. Listen,

you were right about school.

I was wrong and I know what I want

to do, dad. I know what I want to

Specialize in.

Everything!

Nobody does that!

Isn't that great?

Wait a minute, dad.

We could be partners.

Marx and son.

We could open up thousands of

clinics. Franchise like McDonalds.

Dad?

Hello?

I lost him.

He's gone. He's gone.

The guy's gone.

Oh, wait. Ok, fine.

What haven't I done?

What haven't I done?

Studied. Oh, shh...

uh...

Musculos de...

Uh!

Uh, no!

Uh!

Oomph!

Ok.

You know

the material.

You're ready.

Aah!

Aah!

You can work

and play.

You're

in my seat.

What? Oh.

Sorry.

Empieze el examen.

Gracias.

How did you do?

Pardon.

Pardon. Pardon.

Ha ha! Got my 95, you?

Ausente?

What's ausente mean?

That's Spanish

for absent.

But you were there,

weren't you?

Yeah, I was

right next to you.

Cervantes!

Dr. Cervantes.

Look, Sandoval

wrote me absent by mistake.

I want you to come to

dr. Madera with me.

No, no, no.

No, you don't understand.

I sat in the wrong seat.

Dr. Cervantes, please!

I'm sorry.

Please!

No!

It won't do

any good.

Dr. Madera is a complete

unreasonable man.

Buenos dias, senior.

Buenos dias, seniorita.

Me Ilamo Jeff...

Heffrey Marrex.

Of course, Mr. Marx.

Hey, you pronounced

it right.

You're the first one

so far.

Well, I learned English

by seeing your films

And reading

your classics.

Yeah. Um,

is dr. Madera in?

The doctor

is all tied up right now.

Oh, please.

Please.

Is it possible that

I see him in another...

That is a beautiful watch.

Is it a Rolex?

It looks so nice

on your lusty arm.

There are many beautiful

things in America.

I often dream

of being there.

So do I.

The pueblo I have chosen

for pueblo day

Is the village of

San Agustin.

It is very primitive,

very remote,

And the peasants have

never seen a doctor

In their lives,

so they won't object

To being treated

by medical students.

I am sending a select

group of students,

Including

the Americans.

It will make

for great drama

And guarantee publicity.

It could put us right up there

with the Mexicans.

How much will it cost?

Just gas money

and medication.

No, no, no. No medication

because they're only students.

I mean, what if they

hurt somebody?

No medication?

It's just

gas money, then.

Have these drug requisitions

filled at the pharmacy,
