You Don't Know Jack Page #4

If they are, open the door.

( evil laugh ) we're getting

rather ghoulish here

At 7:
55 in the morning.

You are live with bob bender

And I hesitate

to say "ve," doctor,

Because we're talking death with dr.

Death.

And if you want to end it, call dr.

Kevorkian

- That's k-e-v-o-r-k-I-a-n.

- Jack:
This is not an ad.

I just don't want to give

the wrong impression.

I am not here advertising.

I'm-- I'm--

( tools clinking )

- Hi, there.

- ( ratchet clicks )

Oh, no.

Not you, lady.

- Oh, stop it. Stop it.

- Stay away from me, lady.

I don't bite.

I'm sorry I backed out on you that way,

But that's water under the bridge.

I think we need to have a conversation.

- Water under the bridge?

- Yeah.

I ended up using my v.

W. Van in the park.

Water under the bridge?

That was very

resourceful of you.

- Oh, thank you. - I know that you're

upset, but you have to let it go.

We need to have

a bigger conversation.

And that's

a much better sweater.

It's more cheerful.

( knife clinking )

Jack:
You know, I don't get

many visitors up here,

Women especially.

With your charms,

I'm shoed.

I hope you like it.

- I made it just for you.

- Thank you.

You know, doc, you

have to stop pushing

For organ donations.

It'd be better if you just

focused on one thing at a time.

That sounds like

it comes straight ou

Of the old

hemlock society playbook.

I'm the first to admit

hemlock has its faults.

That's why I'm here.

That's why I agree

That it should be self-determination

without compromise.

And for the record,

I also agree

That "terminally ill"

is an undefinable term.

So I say establish

your criteria--

You know, multiple doctor

examinations, psych assessments--

Make sure that all physical

treatments have been exhausted

And maybe the blessing of a

priest or a rabbi would be good.

Funny. My mom used to make these

for us, only with a pickle

And no crusts.

Sorry about the crust.

I usually cut them off,

But somehow I thought

you'd like crust.

She was tortured in a nursing

home till the day she died--

Mind gone, bed sores the

size of dinner plates.

If you looked in them,

you could see her spine.

Who was it for you?

Your mother?

Your father?

I don't see any pictures

anywhere of anybody.

You know, maybe you're right,

what you said before.

One thing at a time.

Fair enough.

So, umm...

I was snooping around

a little bit.

- Oh yeah.

- Can you tell me

About marjorie wantz

and sherry miller?

Sure. Ms.

Miller has m.S.

And she's had it

for a decade.

She has hardly a

motor skill left.

Her husband took off a month

after the diagnosis.

And we've got mrs.

Wantz who has severe pelvic pain.

She's had 10 operations,

all for naught.

The pain's completely

debilitating.

I've thought

about it a long time.

A long time.

Yeah, I have,

And I have no qualms

About my decision.

I could do it tonight.

Jack:

What is it you want?

- Put it in plain english.

- Yeah, I want-- I want to die.

- Jack:
That's plain enough.

- Yup. Yup.

You don't wanna have one more

thanksgiving with your kids?

No no no.

I just want it

over quick.

I have no fear.

Marjorie:

I have tried, myself,

Three different times and

I have not succeeded.

I tried it,

as you know, with the car.

- Mm-hmm.

- I put the hose on the exhaust

And into the window.

I stayed in the car

over three hours

And I tried it three times.

Nothing happened.

I get a half hour, an

hour sleep at night

With all the pills and

slping pills I take.

And it's--

when you've got no quality

Of life left,

It's-- no.

No more.

If I do one of you,

There's a chance they'll

send me to jail.

I won't be able

to dthe other.

( police radio chatter )

- ( siren blaring ) -

( car door opens )

Man:

It's right there.

( camera clicking )

What's going on here, huh?

They're dead.

Wait till you see this.

- ( men chattering )

- excuse me.

- Man #2:
Excuse me.

- ( camera clicking )

Two at a time now.

What's next,

a baker's dozen?

- Right this way.

- Don't touch that.

Jack:
I'm gonna say all you

did was drive me up here.

Neal:
As long as they don't

put us in the same cell,

- I'm fine.

- Jack:
You should be so lucky.

No no no no no.

Sir, it's just him we want.

Dr. Jack kevorkian has been

involved in a double suicide

At the bald mountain recreation

area up near lake orion.

We're trying

to get in touch

With our correspondent

up at the scene there

About 40 miles

north of detroit.

Details are sketchy.

- Again, it appears that dr.

Jack kevorkian... - Neal: Fieger!

...Has indeed assisted a

double suicide this evening.

- Woman:
Here we go.

- We're going to go live to the scene now

- And stay on the story.

- Man:
Bobby!

Fieger:

Where's jack?

- Man #2:
Can you comment

on-- - this is ridiculous.

It's absurd.

No crime has been committed.

Release him.

Release him now.

Man #3:

Everybody settle down.

- ( people chattering ) -

fieger:
Is this live?

- Dr. Kevorkian!

- This better be live.

- Can we get your statement, sir?

- Two very sick

But wonderful women died here

tonight by their own choosing.

Dr.

Kevorkian was only acting out

As-- as--

as their physician.

He did not force anyone

to come up here.

Mr. Thompson, if

you're watching,

Have the gall to charge dr.

Kevorkian tonight.

Bring it on!

Do it tonight!

Reporters:
Mr. Fieger! Mr.

Fieger! Dr. Kevorkian!

( softly ) don't let

them do this to me.

( softly ) this is how you

play the media, jack.

Get ready to become the most

famous doctor in the country.

Isn't this murder?

Would you care

To comment on the religious

aspects of this?

Woman:
What were they

suffering from?

( silent )

I need you to do your job, dr.

Dragovic,

So I can do mine.

Science itself gives us no

arguments, mr. Thompson.

Man:
That's the way

you're gonna do it.

Jack:
I told you I'm not

gonna touch your food.

It would be an admission

of guilt, you know?

I can go for weeks

without food,

- Like ghandi. - Fieger: You're

looking worse than ghandi, jack.

- Jack:
Yeah.

- You look like one of your patients.

It's been three days.

Come on.

I'm not moving.

I'm not paying that bond.

You don't have to.

I did.

- Come on, let's go.

- Jack:
You didn't.

You paid my bail?

Yeah, I bailed you out.

Let's go.

What kind of lawyer

does that?

What the matter

with you, geoff?

Don't you see I'm denying

myself nourishment?

I'm-- I'm--

I'm starving to death

For three days

to make a point.

- I get it. I get it.

- This is a protest.

They violated my rights.

You're not supposed

to bail me out.

It defeats the purpose.

Oh, I should fire you,

you know?

We're facing an indictment

on wantz and miller.

- Oh.

- Here.

What's this?

Pie.

This is full of fat and sugar.

Are you trying to kill me?

Just eat

the f***ing pie, jack.

- ( groans ) - (

phone ringing )

Oh, and another thing--

The state revoked

your medical license.

Good. They took away

my career years ago.
