Doc Hollywood Page #3

through the want-ads a couple of years ago.

Nobody's been in it for a while, though.

Mayor Nicholson.

Yeah?

I'm on my way to California.

Don't be thinking that I'm

going to be staying here.

Oh, no, no. 'Course not. Well, maybe not.

Yet you give ol' Grady a chance, she just

might sneak up on you and leave a mark..

Surprise! Welcoming committee!

I hope you're hungry.

Evening, ladies.

Ben Stone, this here is Miss Violet,

and Miss Lillian and Miss Maddie.

Ladies, this here is Ben Stone, M.D.

Fried chicken, boiled peanuts,

and sweet potato pie.

Catfish, biscuits, butter beans

and watermelon.

Hungry Man dinner. I'm a bad cook.

Well, I guess I just say adieu

and come chauffeur you in the morning.

No, wait, wait, wait! Nick, wait.

Come on. Nick,

.. you can't expect to leave me here in the

middle of nowhere with them Its getting late

Don't worry. Only one of 'em horny. And I'm

not telling you which one, though. Your face

Want a cocktail?

Anyway, the high-profile, high-profit work..

.. just makes it possible for me

to do the more important...

.. reconstructive surgery

for needier patients..

.. and get a big house on the beach.

It's just hard to believe. A man as good

looking as Dr. Stone should be married.

Well,

maybe he ain't found his Adam's rib yet, vi.

Maybe he indulges in the love

that dare not speak its name.

Lillian!

Will I go blind?

It's moonshine, right?

Well, ouzo, actually.

We took a cruise to Greece.

Not me. I wasn't invited.

It was one of those Golden Age Tours.

Sunset Tours, Vi, honey.

They ate the brains out of a goat.

Not me.

We ate dog.

I didn't eat no dog.

You don't know that you didn't.

Now, Dr. Stone, there's a legend about

friendship quilts. -That's bunk!

Folks say that the first person

to sleep under a friendship quilt..

.. will meet the one they're gonna marry.

Dream about the one they're gonna marry,

and it's bunk.

What a fine had he has.

Dr. Stone?

Oh God.

Hello.

Hi. Good morning.

Is something wrong?

Uh, no, no,

I'm a doctor.

Yeah, I know who you are.

Uh, hey, I'm sorry. Do want this?

If you're a doctor, I don't have anything

you haven't seen before.

You can blink now.

All the boys from the state legislature

come here, do their recreating.

Boy, can they litter. Yup, presidents

come here during the fishing season.

On purpose?

One look at all this, Ben-boy,

I'm sure you're saying to yourself,

"I have come to Grady at the

most beautiful time of the year. "

But boy, these dogwoods, azaleas,

when they bloomin,'

.. they can't hold a candle to the

nuclear explosion of color come fall.

Look, Nick. You're the mayor.

You have the authority to..

.. commute my sentence. Could you do that?
