I abstain.

You always abstain.

Look,

I appreciate your problem,

.. but, but I'm not the answer.

Now,

I got a big job interview on the West Coast.

It's very important I get down

there in the next couple of days.

Plastic surgery, you know?

The truth is well they could probably pay me

about twenty times what you could afford.

But now you know, there's a lot of

similarities between Grady and Los Angeles.

They're just bigger, is all.

What do I owe you?

Ten bucks.

Ten bucks for a cup of coffee

and a couple pieces of toast?

Gotcha.

Now, Ben, I'll tell you.

Why don't you wait to make up your

mind till after the Squash festival, huh?

All I'm saying, Ben Stone, is give

Grady a chance. I bet you'll like her.

Yeah, well, nice meeting you... all. Thanks.

Well, howdy Nurse Packer. How you doing?

Doctor's lounge is down the hall.

You can change in there, and then I'll have

Lou show you around. This is your time card.

You gotta be kidding.

Local call?

I don't know anybody local.

Pay phone's in the waiting room.

Yeah, it's, no, it's a collect...

It's a collect call from Dr. Benjamin Stone.

Stone.

Hey, come on, do you mind?

This is a... personal call.

I guess so.

Mr. Stone? Mr. Stone, are you there?

Uh, yeah. Hi. Yes, this is Dr. Stone.

Actually, that's why I'm calling. Um, I, uh,

I don't think I'm going to be

able to make it on Tuesday.

No, I just, there was a,

a medical emergency, and, and, uh,

.. they don't have a doctor so I,

of course volunteered my services,

.. and I'll need to stay

until the situation stabilizes.

Yeah, medically speaking.

You're interviewing other doctors.

Uh, Friday.

Yeah, okay, Friday. I can do that. Okay.

No, thank you very much, and thank Dr. Ha...

That was better tap-dancing

than I've seen on "Star Search. "

You know, if you tell me you're here for

a physical, you're gonna make my day.

It's unprofessional

to flirt with the patients.

I'm, uh, just on my way to Beverly Hills.

Plastic surgery. Not that you need any.

Nice try. So,

is this the GQ look for young urban doctors?

Well, I've spent the last 2 years

doing 18-hour days in the E.R.

I find these are pretty comfortable.

You don't like 'em?

No.

Okay, fine. Well, I uh I really enjoyed

our time together here, but, um,

.. since you're obviously not a patient

and I'm not getting anywhere,

tell me where I can find the guy named Lou

who drives ambulance Ill get out ofyour life

I'm Lou.

Where did all these people come from?

Folks hear there's a doctor on duty

at the hospital, they come running.

Any old doctor.

Send them in.

Okay, Mr. Tidwell.

What the hell have you got on your foot?

That's a poultice.

Nurse Packer!
