Dilated to meet ya !"

- How about that ?

- How about just doing it straight ?

- What do you mean ?

- As in, straight to graduation.

Oh. If anybody has a problem with this,

please, just walk away right now.

[ Chuckling ]

Oh.

All right.

Wow ! Yes !

[ Chuckling ]

Okay.

They're right on time.

Good morning, Doctor.

Welcome to campus. Good to see you.

How you doing, Doctor ?

Uh, gentlemen, I believe that

you'll find the facilities here...

are just perfect

for your purposes today.

We have everything set up

in the auditorium.

If you'd just follow me--

[ Students Laughing ]

Welcome, cold-handed ones.

It's an honor

to greet-slash-welcome...

so many who have touched so many women

is such a powerful way.

Come on in.

Watch out.

It's a little slippery.

And if you think

it's hot out there-- Whoa !

Come on !

[ Imitating Echo ]

Get him

in my office now.

All right, gentlemen,

if, uh-- Ahem--

if you'd

just follow me.

You wanted

to see me, sir ?

You are dismissed.

Sir.

From this school.

Kindly remove your things...

and vacate the school premises

as soon as possible.

What for ?

For asking a group of doctors to have

a sense of humor about themselves ?

Oh, I have a sense of humor, Hunter.

I find it hilarious that,

as smart as you are...

you could give me an airtight reason

to throw you the hell out of here !

Why am I such a threat

to you, sir ?

Because what you want

is for us to get down there

on the same level as our patients...

to destroy objectivity...

all to uphold some

idealistic buddy system...

that will allow you to work through

your own feelings of inadequacy.

What you have done here today...

is inexcusable.

You have made a complete mockery

out of our distinguished guests.

If you think that I will further

tolerate your blatant disregard

of the bylaws of this--

What are you smiling at ?

Is this all

a big joke to you ?

Get out of here !

[ Door Opens, Closes ]

[ Man ] Blatant disregard for

school code and procedure.

Defying direct orders

from a dean.

And I am aware

of your creative efforts...

to make sure our visiting gynecologists

feel right at home.

- Now, what is it you'd

like me to do for you ?

- I want to graduate, sir.

Dean Walcott

thinks otherwise...

but my grades

are way above par.

I want to finish school

so I can become a doctor.

Well, I'm gonna give this

to you real straight.

I have a hospital and a medical school

to run here.

I have to trust the people

in my employ...

otherwise their quality of life

will turn to sh*t.

Their life turns to sh*t,

my life turns to sh*t. Do you follow ?

- Yes.

- Good.

Now, uh, Dean Walcott is a--

[ Groans ] a pain in the ass...

but I depend on him to keep me up to

speed on what's going on around here...

and I would never take the word

of any student over his.

However...

I also have a source

that informs me that your antics...

have improved the quality of life

for the patients.

They don't complain as much,

they take less medication...

and, uh, what's-his-name over in 305

has not thrown his bedpan at a nurse...

in over a week.

- It's Bill.

- Yeah, whatever.

So, from now on you will not

enter that hospital...

unless under the supervision of the

attendant, as part of the curriculum...

and you will steer clear

of Dean Walcott.

Yes, sir.

So I'm still in school ?

I wouldn't

send my laundry out...

but, uh, you just

don't screw up, huh ?

[ Rock ]

[ Patch ]

Come in. Please come in.

- The rain is falling

- Hello ?

- Through the mist of sorrow

- Hello.

- Patch ?

- Welcome.

- [ Carin ] What are you doing ?

- I thought we were studying.

- [ Patch ]

We're studying cellular biology.

- [ Continues ]

- Where are you ?

- Somewhere.

- Let it rain

- [ All ] Surprise !

- Let it rain

- Happy birthday !

- Happy birthday !

I don't believe this.

Where is he ?

- I just saw him around here somewhere.

- Where is he, Truman ?

- [ Laughing ]

He's here. You gotta find him.

- Let it rain, rain, rain

- Patch ?

- Ha-ha !

- [ Screams ]

- [ Laughs ]

"I do not love you as if

you were a salt rose or topaz...

or the air o'er carnations

that fire shoots off.

I love you as certain dark

things are to be loved...

in secret 'tween

the shadow and the soul."

[ Whispering ]

We'll finish it later.

What the hell is this ?

Hunter.

Hunter, please answer me !

[ Mitch ]

Stop laughing ! Truman, I see you !

- lf I give my love to you

- Who the hell are you ? You aren't--

- You sure would give it back

- Oh ! Oh, damn it !

- I hurt my ankle !

Somebody get somebody please !

- Let it rain, let it rain

- Someone-- Hello ? My ankle !

- Let your love rain down on me

You could have saved yourself

a lot of trouble and just asked me out.

- Who said anything

about asking you out ?

- [ Laughs ]

I heard something

about you.

- That I was in a mental hospital ?

- Is it true ?

Tried to kill myself.

The mental ward was the best thing

that ever happened to me.

- What did the doctors do to help you ?

- The doctors didn't help me.

The patients helped me.

They helped me realize

that by helping them I could

forget about my own problems.

And I did.

I really helped some of them.

It was an incredible

feeling, Carin.

There was one patient

named Rudy.

I helped him

be able to pee.

But for the first time in my life,

I forgot about my own problems.

It was an incredible high.

What ?

It's just that, um, somebody,

you know, could do for me...

what you did for me tonight

after the way I've treated you.

No one's ever done anything

like that for me before.

Thank you.

Good night.

[ Laughs ]

No, this is not a good night.

This is a great night !

You know ?

[ Laughing ]

Hi, I'm John the Baptist.

Any calls ?

I've been trying

to reach you.

- [ Sobbing ] I love you.

- [ Exhaling ]

[ Softly ]

Let's go outside. Okay ?

Hey, Bill.

Turquoise is a nice color

on you.

You don't have to say anything.

I know I look good.

My boys.

My boys are beautiful, hmm ?

- Yeah.

- Did you see my boys ?

Yeah.

She's not bad either.

You think after you're gone,

maybe I could--

[ Laughs ]

Oh, you're killin' me here,

Patch.

[ Inhales ]

S-Sing me that stupid song.

Blue skies smilin' at me

Nothin' but blue skies

Do I see

Bluebirds singin' a song

Nothin' but bluebirds

All day long

Blue days

All of them gone

Nothin' but blue skies

From now on

See you, Bill.

[ Chattering ]

[ Woman ]

Por favor. Dejeme ver a mi nina !

- I'm sorry, ma'am.

- Somebody speak-- Alguien, ayudeme !

- Dejeme ver a mi nina !

- [ Nurse ] I need the forms filled out.

My baby ! My baby !

Ma'am, if you fill out the forms,

you can see her in a moment.

- Alguien--

- Excuse me.

- What's going on here ?

- Oh, drunk driver.

She lost her husband and son.

- Her daughter's in Trauma One,

but it doesn't look good.

- I need the forms filled out.

- Please ! Quiero ver a mi nina !

- You can see her in one moment.

Quiero ver a mi nina !
