You Don't Know Jack Page #10

- Are you gonna answer my question?

- Smartass. Go ahead and do it.

- Your honor.

Judge:
Dr.

Kevorkian, I'm warning you.

You know, your honor, you

may cite me for contempt,

But I am finished

with this farce.

M not gonna be a part of it.

I just can't.

- I'm so sick and tired...

- ( gavel clacking )

- ...Of this fusion...

- Resume the stand, dr. Kevorkian.

...Of religious

dogma and medicine!

Can I ask for a recess, please?

Just a couple of minutes, your honor.

- Recess. - Thank you, your honor.

Thank you.

( people chatting )

( chuckles )

Can't-- there's nothing

anybody can do

For me and there's

certainly no step...

Time to give it up, dick.

...

Or I would not be here.

- ( people chatting ) - woman: Go on.

Go on.

Jack.

Jack.

I told you those videotapes were

going to be our golden ticket.

We have to take this to

the supreme court, geoff.

We have to do it.

We've still got

to get a law

- Legalizing assisted suicide, no?

- Congratulations.

Hey, jack. Come on.

You won. Enjoy yourself.

Morganroth is right, jack.

You'll never see another courtroom again.

The house of cards

is falling

And engler's

going down with it.

- Ladies and gentlemen!

- Man:
Come on.

Fieger:
Please please, I have

an important announcement.

I have decided

to run for governor.

- Hear hear!

- ( cheering )

- Man:
Whoo!

- Fieger:
Fieger for governor!

Feiger's

your finest!

Next stop--

lansing!

Fieger:
David gorcyca,

oakland county prosecutor.

It has

a nice ring to it.

You know, you owe me after the way

I demolished thompson for you.

And I know you'll stay

out of jack's hair.

Thomson blew away too

many taxpayer dollars

On these prwsecutions.

I've no intention to

waste one more nickel.

As long as kevorkian

stays in line,

He can assist as many patients

as he damn well pleases.

No worries. Jack's learned to

listen to everything I say.

Jack:
You know, I'm

only operating

By the grace of

this prosecutor.

"go ahead.

You can go do your thing

In some dark little

corner of the universe,

But do it quietly.

" you know?

Oh, the lingering

of death.

What a business.

Keep death alive.

Hospitals don't make

money otherwise.

Drug companies either.

If you're rich and

you have the money,

You can pay to die.

But the poor, they

can only afford

To stick it out

and suffer.

They say complacency

is a virtue.

Oh, stop whining.

You make me more nauseous than my chemo.

You have full reign.

Just deal with it.

Yeah.

( sighs ) I think the

biggest mistake of my life

Was not getting married.

- Excuse me?

- I could've, you know,

Procreated.

Kept the family name alive.

- Why not?

- Procreate?

Yowould've made

that big a sacrifice

To keep the family name alive?

You would've done that?

Well, sometimes, you've got to

get your hands a little dirty.

Well, could you have

loved though, doc?

That's the bigger question.

Could you have loved?

You didn't put sugar

in here again.

Ah.

Don't get up.

We need to have

a conversation.

Mmm.

You know I'm not lugging

This thing around just

'cause it's sexy.

And you're the only

doctor in my neighborhood

That practices euthanasia.

Oh, we're not there yet.

You've got

plenty of time.

( crowd chanting on tv ) fieger!

Fieger! Fieger!

Fieger:
Okay okay, let's

keep these signs up.

Let's keep 'em up there.

Oh, don't drop that.

( laughs )

did you get a t-shirt?

Get those buttons

out there.

Buttons!

Buttons!

Woman:
What is your

official stance

On the assisted suicide issue?

I give my word to the

people of michigan

That I will not be supporting

doctor-assisted suicide.

Woman:
Even with your history with dr.

Kevorkian?

What I've always said

is I support

The individual's right

to choose.

But I repeat--

I will not be supporting

doctor-assisted suicide.

Woman:
There you

have it, folks.

Now back to you, john.

This is megan

from channel 4 news.

There's something

happening here, people.

And if you don't know what

it is, it's geoffrey fieger.

Megan:
The 47-year-old fieger's

flare for the dramatic

Has enlivened a campaign

that most analysts

Said would be

dishwater dull.

No longer advocating

for kevorkian,

Fieger is now

advocating for himself

And campaigning with

michigan voters,

Lling himself as the

anti-politician.

Fieger:
Governor engler is

dumber than dan quayle

And twice as ugly.

He's a racist

and he's a liar.

Megan:
It's the acerbic

tongue of geoffrey fieger's

That republicans say they'll

make the major issue

Of this upcoming race.

( camera clicks )

God had his chance

to come take me.

I'll go to him instead.

( gas hissing )

Are you gonna

look at me, doc?

Or is it

an armenian thing?

- Is what?

- You know, keeping it all inside,

Just keep it going.

Is that an armenian thing?

- Oh, I don't know. - Actually, how

could it be an armenian thing?

Margo was just as armenian as you

are and she talked my ear off.

( chuckles )

she told me everything.

She could share.

You don't share.

What do you

want me to share?

Anything.

Everything.

- I'm afraid-- - I know.

I know.

- No, you don't.

- Yes, I do.

I'm not afraid

for myself, you dope.

I'm afraid for you.

Your little band of kevorkians

is shrinking into nothing.

Will you come closer?

I can't see you right there.

Here.

- Right here.

- Yes. Okay.

See, you know margo and

I were the only two

That could tell you to shut up.

( chuckles )

Look. You need more

people in your corner,

Not less.

People that you can trust.

And the only way people

trust each other

Is if they know each other.

And nobody knows you.

Nobody.

How did it feel

When your mother

was dying?

You were a doctor,

a healer,

And you were helpless.

How did that feel?

( sighs )

you know, I failed her.

I failed my mother.

And?

She once said to me

"imagine, jack,

The worst toothache

in the world.

Now imagine

that toothache

Being in every bone

in your body."

That's--

That's what was

happening to her.

She was my mother.

I devoted my life to her.

So...

Eh...

( distant train rattling )

So how did--

how did you feel?

I remember--

I remember being in this

little hospital room--

This clly little room,

A lone window

in the red brick wall--

That's what it faced--

And all these doctors

circling around my mother

Trying to keep her alive.

And I was helpless.

I was powerless,

Helpless

and ineffectual.

And I felt

Lost.

I walost.

That's how I felt.

Thanks, doc.

Thanks.

- Ray and the kids--

- jack:
Yeah.

( whispers )

give my love to margo.

Yes.

Janet:

Hey, guys.

Okay.

( train tooting )

( geese honking )

( chattering )

Janet:
Your little

band of kevorkians

Is shrinking

into nothing.

- ( cameras clicking ) - (

chattering continues )

( reporters shouting ) jack!

Jack! Dr. Kevorkian!

Dr. Kevorkian!

Jack, over here!

Janet:

I'm afraid for you.

You're not the bestpokesperson

for the cause, really.

We have to take this to

the supreme court, geoff,
