- He's a friend.

- Sorry.

I'm Dr. Mercer.

Mr. Sanborn did have

a mild heart attack.

I gave him something

to dissolve the clot, and it worked.

He's very lucky.

Another half-hour, I don't...

I don't know if this would have worked.

This was very intense.

- He's doing great.

- Yeah.

I gave him something

to help him sleep.

It might make him a little loopy at first

but then it should knock him out.

- You're Mrs. Sanborn?

- No! Oh, no. No, I'm just...

No, I'm Erica Barry.

He had dinner at our house.

I met him this afternoon.

You're Erica Barry?

- Yes.

- The playwright?

- Yes.

- What a pleasure. I'm a huge fan.

- Really?

- Huge fan.

Thank you.

Wow!

Thanks.

Thank you, doctor.

- Erica. Green tea.

- Oh! That's hot.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome. May I?

Yeah. Yeah, sure. Yeah.

This is very sweet of you.

In med school you learn what keeps

you up without making you nuts.

You know I heard you had a house

in the Hamptons.

I am a big fan. I've seen every play

you've ever written.

Some were written before your time.

There's some Marin's never seen.

No, I'm pretty sure I've seen

them all.

- I saw the last one twice.

- Julian, a walk-in may need stitches.

Okay, thanks.

I'll check on Mr. Sanborn.

If he's asleep, you might want some

shuteye. Come back in the morning.

Great to meet you, Erica. Ladies.

Okay.

Now, that's the perfect guy for you.

He's adorable!

Mother, I've never seen a man

less interested in me.

Or more interested in you.

Me?

- He's 30 years old.

- No, he's older than that.

Who cares how old he is?

I mean, he's not my type.

He's a gorgeous doctor.

He's perfect for you. He's hot for you.

- Which makes him really perfect.

- Okay, stop it.

He likes my work, not me.

I would never...

Shut up.

- Oh, God, is he all right?

- Harry!

Harry, over here.

Honey, I wanna go home.

Can you call Leo...?

Harry! You've got to get back into bed.

Woman, you saved my life.

Get a nurse. Nurse! Nurse!

I thank you from the bottom of my...

Even unconscious, he's a letch!

- Get off!

- You shouldn't be standing.

It's all right. Thank you.

I gotta take a whiz, girls.

We'll take care of that for you.

Okay, I'd like to see that.

Okay, here we go.

I'd love to see that.

Somebody better get it.

Now, what can I do you for?

I'm here to pick up Harry Sanborn.

Hi, I'm Dr. Mercer.

Come on, I'll take you to him.

And you are?

I'm Leo Hoffman,

I'm Harry's personal assistant.

Do a little chef, a little driving,

party planning...

...whatever the man needs.

- It sounds like an interesting job.

I'm going on six years

and never a dull moment.

Okay, Harry, looks like we're

gonna have to let you go.
