you stop by to see him,

Gerald,

on your way to Rio

For that

face-Lift symposium.

He wants

to see me?

Read the letter.

Are you sure it's

his handwriting?

Ok, branches of

the brachial arteries.

Ok, let's go.

Hey, den?

Hmm.

Hand me a box

of 'cillin.

Thanks.

This isn't

going to hurt.

Ok, I think

it's Mr. Puppet time!

Look at the little puppet. Oh, cherries.

Aah!

Hey!

It's a breech.

I don't know.

Her stomach looks fine.

Transverse fetus.

Yeah, but the

ultrasound shows

The fetus is in

the right position.

God, she's in pain.

I say it's a breech.

You can tell

in a sec.

Blood pressure's dropping.

Abruptio placentae.

No way!

Shh!

Right!

Oh, kids?

It's that time again.

The bookstore reports

brisk sales of t-Shirts

And the other

novelty items.

The books themselves

are down.

Ah. The school cadaver

has been picked clean.

However,

the government of Haiti

Sells them

for $3.00 a piece,

Well within

our budget.

Now to the ledger.

I am lonely, Gomez.

You don't ever repeat

what I say to you, do you?

Oh, no, no, doctor.

Not even

to Mrs. Gomez.

You are married?

Sn, sn.

Tell me, Gomez,

do you have sons?

Many.

Someday, I, too,

shall have sons.

And a beautiful wife.

The books

are balanced.

The only

outstanding bill

Is from

the pharmacy,

Which I can't pay

Until Maria completes

her inventory

Per your instructions.

Uhh...

I'll go talk to Maria

about that.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

Where's Maria?

I don't know.

An early lunch?

Oh, miss parker.

Hello. Hello.

Dr. Madera.

Senior Gomez.

Hello.

May I help you?

No, let me say this.

Are you here

to see me?

Yeah.

See? She's here

to see me.

I will help her.

Go away, go away.

Ah, so, you are here

to see me.

That's kismet. That's fate.

In what regard?

I wanted to tell you

how much I'm enjoying school.

Oh!

Want to talk

in your office?

Yes, I'll be

delighted.

I'm very flattered. Thank you.

Tell me more.

Well, see, um...

the faculty

is excellent.

And the, uh,

facilities uhh, well...

mind if I close your door? No, please.

Well! Uh...

and the, uh...

the, um...

the, uh...

the, uh...

the curriculum?

Yeah!

The curriculum...

well,

that's just... good.

It meets with

your approval.

Yeah,

it's just plain good.

I'm very happy.

Anything else?

Um...

boy, that's

a swell suit.

I'm glad you like it.

Where did

you get it?

Venezuela.

I get all of my clothes

in Venezuela.

Oh.

Well, I don't

want to take up

Any more of your time.

Please stay.

But, you know,

I really have to go.

I would like very much

If you'll have dinner

with me tonight.

I can't.

It would be

very meaningful.

No, no. You know,

I have to study for

those weekly finals.

They're

pretty tough.

I will push them back

one day for you.

No, no, no, I enjoy

the pressure.

No, no, you will

enjoy yourself tonight.

No. We have things to discuss.

No, we don't. Yes, we

do. I don't think so.

It would be very nice.

Sorry.

You will have

a very good time.

No.

It will be wonderful.

I can't.

I will enjoy it.

No.

I insist.

Mm-Mmm.

I order this!

Ok.

I beg you to do this.

Ok!

Oh, you said yes.

I said fine.

I will be happy.

I will see you tonight at 6:30

at the dormitory. Right. Ok.

Gomez!

S, doctor.

I am here.

I am getting married.

Don't tell my mother.

Open up another box.

We're gonna start

The second half

of the ball game.

Kevin McHale.

...Larry bird!

lay!

Ok, ok.

We'll bring you

over to this table, ok?

Come on, come on.

Don't worry.

How long have you

been in labor?

Two days.

Two days? Ok, ok.

Ok, ok, easy.

Easy, just relax.

Relax.

Do I know you?

Are you a patient here?

No, I don't.

No, no? Ok.

Ok, all right.

All right.

How often are

the contractions?

Five minutes.

Five minutes?

You're having

a baby.

Yes!

Yeah, yeah.

Do you think you

dropped your water yet?

Yes!

Yes, you dropped

your water. Ok, ok.

I'm going to take

a little look.

I'm gonna look

under here.

And, uh, where's

your husband?

Parking the donkeys.

Ok, ok, ok.

I'm just gonna

take a look. Ok.

Ok.

Everything's

going to be ok.

This feels normal?

This?

senor, que pasa?

I'll be with you

in a second, ok?

And breathe,

and br...

Oh, Jesus.

Jesus!

I should have killed you

the first time.

Come, we go.

No, no, no. You can't!

She's in heavy labor.

Come, we go.

No, I'm telling you,

It's too dangerous

to take her away.

Cut the sh*t

and grow up!

Come over here.

Now, listen to me.

Listen to exactly

what I say.

You know

how to drive? Huh?

Take these keys.

Take that car.

Drive it

to Valencia.

Go to the best

restaurant in town.

Get the prettiest

girl there,

Bring her back here,

and do it now.

Do it now!

Vamoose!

Beuno!

Ok.

Ok, ok.

I'm back.

Is this

your first baby?

Yes.

Mine, too.

No, I have no sons.

You see,

my wife, like you,

Was a very

handsome woman.

And conservative,

as I hope you are.

But where

you are strong,

She was weak.

You see,

Teresa was barren.

She was infertile.

She was,

how you say...

she was

devoid of eggs.

May I have

a little pickle?

Yes.

A little pickle.

Here's

a little pickle.

Thank you.

And, uh,

in the five years

Since she has been

dead I have been...

May I ask what

your wife died of?

Shame.

She died of shame.

You see, my family

is from...

May I have

some more pickle?

There is

a small pickle.

You see, my family

is from

The province of

Chihuahua in Mexico.

You are familiar

with Chihuahua?

The little dogs?

Yes. Charming.

The little dogs.

Chihuahua is known

For the vigor

of its men,

The force, as I say,

Of their

primal energy...

The genetic power

of the...

I'm sorry. Are you going

to eat your vegetables?

No.

You... You take

all of my food.

Because, you see...

Not pretty.

There, that one!

She's beautiful.

Come! Come with me!

Where was I?

Yes.

The vigor of the men

of Chihuahua,

The force of their

creative energies,

The genetic thrust...

You see, you are

the beautiful woman.

They coming to pick you up

and take you to San Augistin.

Forced from

the bull-Like nature

Of their loins...

Would you

hold that thought.

Yes. May I ask,

are you catholic?

No.

Well, you must

consider conversion.

Ok.

Yes.

Oh, yes.

Are you looking

for me?

No. I don't know.

No, you said

the clinic? Me?

Yes?

Please, come with me!

My wife and Jeff

are having a baby!

All right, calm down.

It'll be all right.

Everything's ok,

everything's fine.

Will you just tell

that man over there

That we had to go.

Come on.

Musicians, please.

What?

Wait. Please.

Oh.

Blood pressure's

elevated.

She's in labor

two days.

I don't like it.

The heartbeat's

faint.

It's not

where it should be.

What should I do?

Just keep chanting.

What is that?

It's ether,

an anesthetic.

She should chew

on a herbal root.

Dennis says it's

the same as valium.

Whatever. Look,

She's in

a lot of pain.

I want to

put her out.

When I tell you to,
