The Man Who Shook the Hand of Vicente Fernandez Page #2

it worth a try.

you know, though here

your father speakes just

sounds like he doesn't want to get better.

and every once in while someone comes around so ..

so heavy with spike that

there's not much we can do for him.

It isn't spike

It's regret.

He's not racist.

he hates (every walks???)

but, he loves this western,

all western, And in all those westerns

- oh, we are the bad guys.

- banditos.

- Grandpa starting to stink.

- Hey!

- I didn't tell her to say that, I swear

- let's ride!

don't you have to take her

to rehearsal or something, or ...

Or take that minivan of yours

to soccer practice?

like you know anything about it.

Irma, get me home.

and I think those banditos can do

what I can't do myself

with some good bed rest

Rex, this is really serious,

but we're not gonna let this

get us down.

We're gonna brighten up and see

what doctor recommends, alright?

- you don't know how I feel

- sorry for yourself.

Shut up, Denise!

you have no idea!

Not only do I know

how you feel, dad

but I know what you're thinking.

you have to focus on getting better

no more Burt,

no more auditions

and Hollywood couldn't wait

until you recovered

tell you what

if Burt calls the house

I'll give him the number here. okay?

Well, looks like someone,

is almost back in the saddle.

Mr. Rex Page.

I am doctor Joaquin Dominguez.

They managed to return to normal

most of your physical movement.

That's good news.

the bad news is that ...

it's gonna take intense physical therapy

to get you back on the feet.

I wanna real doctor

not some lowlife (snake oil???) salesman.

perhaps Mr Page and I

should discuss things in private.

you start behaving, this instant.

whatever you think you saw

last night from the depths of your anesthesia

just give me the facts, mister.

getting your legs working would be

one, strenuous, two, expensive

three, more trouble than it worth

even for a man

ten years younger than you.

looks like you trying

put me out to the pasture.

I don't take (kindless of???) threats

move on from Rancho Park,

Mr. page.

I've seen this (were a???) therapy

induced heart attack.

go spend some quality time

with your friends, while you still can.

I hope you stay.

I've got bigger plans than this

one horse nursing home, little lady.

you could've made this (set???)

of recovery by yourself.

but, if your body is strong

as your heart stubborn,

I could (havein???)

pretty quickly.

it would give me a chance to

repay your kindness.

you do have the facility

for (miles???).

good evening.

They don't make like this anymore.

had to borrow it

from my aunt Rosario.

And you don't know my aunt Rosario.

very funny.

- I never seen it before.

- that's 'cus you don't know squat.

that senorita

she's in major distress.

- that's pretty Annie.

- she is beautiful.

she's Elaine Bennet.

she's most beautiful ...

What do you know about anything?

Who told you turn that thing on?

okay, I just trying to help you.

I'll turn it off.

Who said to turn it off?

Look! She's pretending

she doesn't like him.

handsome cowboys

that could've been that guy.

oh, my

I just cannot seem to get right side up today.

I cannot imagine what's come over me.

Mr. page, I'm gonna

roll you over so I can wash you.

is that okay?

hand me that phone, Pancho?

come on, will you?

Hello

Hello, Rex. it's Burt.

How's my number one client?

I've been better, Burt.

I heard, I'm sorry to

hear about your accident.

I've got say there's some

(lousy???) timing you got there

What have you got, Burt?

Rex, I really think that you should worry about

getting back on your feet

then we (thinking about???) the market,

see what's out there

come on, Burt, don't keep me in suspense.

not, Not today, eh, alright, now when?

its seducing, Rex.

they'll ever made

- When?

- they (asked???) what so sweet about it.

for awhile but because

- I'm so damn good at my charm

- When? Burt.

couple of months. anyway

to get you back on your feet by then.

in time for that audition

my health insurance papers from

your Academy of Radio.

somebody's (kisto???) over here

I maybe a nobody,

but I've got good insurance.

here Pancho, put that over there.

I'm gonna have to undress you

to wash you, Mr. Page, is it okay?

- do what you gotta do, (Brownie???).

I guess a little therapy

doesn't hurt anybody.
