Johnny. John, Gene has got some qualms about the new proposal. I'd like you to talk to him about it.
No room for qualms, Gene.
Gene No, there's just one or two--
No, qualms are bad. Listen to Johnny. Qualms are bad.
Gene I have qualms I'd like to discuss. You know what it is? I'm just afraid that if we let a big company like Calnet take us over, you know, we're not gonna be us anymore. You know? We-we-W?we'd be them.
Let me explain something to you, Gene. Them has the best hospitals, and them has the best laboratories, and them is gonna pay us a very big, giant amount of money.
I swear. I swear to God that when I think about the money, I get teary.
You see, those are real tears in his eyes.
So, Saturday morning we're sitting down with the Calnet people. I'll see you all there. I'm very excited about it.
Hey, wait, whoa, whoa. Saturday morning? I'm supposed to take my family to the country this weekend.
Gene You see, it's happening already.
Gene John, you're being forced to neglect your family.
Gene, relax. No such thing. Mrs O'Brien?
Mrs. O'Brien: Yes.
How are you? Is your tummy still...?
Mrs. O'Brien: Uh-huh.
Oh. Okay, Saturday morning, guys. Gene, no tank tops, please. No tank tops.
Mrs. Parkus. Have you eaten shellfish again?
And what's the middle word?
Let me start by saying thank you very much for giving up part of your weekend. Uh, we just want to make sure we can answer any and all of your questions. We want you to all be comfortable with what we're proposing.
J Jeremy
And speaking of which, that explains the details of the buyout. The financial information you're probably most interested in is on page four.
Oh, wow, four million dollars. That's pretty comfortable.
I'm comfortable. You comfortable, Geno?
Gene Uh, actually, I have some questions.
Gene Yes, I do. Uh, I was wondering, are we gonna have to cut back on our staff?
Yes, unfortunately, we'll have to make some staff cuts.
Yeah. You offered me some bread, and I don't want any, thanks.
So you have no problem with staff cuts?
MP Male Pigeon #2
Hey, you gonna share that bread of what?
MP Male Pigeon #1
You just said you didn't want any.
MP Male Pigeon #2
Did not.
MP Male Pigeon #1
Did too.
What is it, some kind of joke?
MS Male Squirrel #1
Bagel chips!
MS Male Squirrel #2
Back off or you'll find your nuts in a tree. Oh, Where's the love? Ow! Where's the love?
So, John, do you have a problem with that? Or not? John?
P Pigeon
Watch your head! I'm flying here!
Okay, that's about enough meeting for me. I got to get go. This was a great meeting and very productive. Wonderful meeting. I'm looking forward to-- See you guys on Monday. I'll talk to you later. Excuse me.
Johnny's been on call all night, Mr. Calloway. He's very excited.
PO Police Officer
You gotta move it.
PO Police Officer
[John gasps] [horse snorts]
I said let's go. You can't park here. Let's move it.
Oh, jeez. Thanks, man. OK, I'm moving it. Thank you.
Diane, please call down to radiology and get me the x-rays on Mr. Galvin. Also, check with Mrs. Rivers and see if she can switch her appointment to 3:15. I may need to call in Gene for a consultation.
Gene, can you check your schedule and see if you can do a 3.15 consult?
Gene Sure.
Good. And Mark, did you get back the tests on Mr Freeman?
I think they're coming in this afternoon, Johnny.
Good. Keep me informed, okay?
Hey, Doc, do you think I should get my beak done?
Call somebody from maintenance we need to put some for permanent screens up, or set some traps. This is a doctor's office, not a zoo.
He's back. We're gonna be rich.
Gene I enjoy my personal relationships with my patients.
J Jeremy
I just might not.
He's got to get Gerry with the program.
Gene. He's the kind of guy who'd rather be trudging through the snow with his little black bag...
Exactly. It's kind of adorable really--Ow!
Gene Oh, my gosh. I'm sorry.
I may have broken my nose.
Gene I think I broke his nose.
Gene Let me check. Oh, my God! I broke his nose. Let me take him to X-ray.
I'm blacking out. I'm blacking out.
THAAAAT FEEEEELS GOOOOOD!
Ow. Geno, this really hurts. I really think...
Gene Yeah, it's hurts. Of course it hurts. You walked right into a door. Your septum is completely crushed.
Oh, God, I'm bleeding. I'm bleeding. Do we have any morphine in the vault?
Gene I crushed his septum.
Oh, Really? Look, guys, this is not really a good time. I'm kind of here with somebody.
Gene Oh, my God, John.
Gene I-I-I do not approve. Lisa is a wonderful woman.
It's a frigging tiger, man.
Its all right. He going to hurt you. I know him.
Be afraid. Be very afraid. Oh, my goodness. I have to sit.
Here's what we're going to do. We going to go tell Johnny that we're gonna fix his little tiger up after he signs. Okay? Then we have him committed. We have him committed. He's going to happy acres. It's perfect. That way, we'll get our money.
Gene [punches Mark, thud]
Aah!
It's look likes it's shifted to the left. That's means there's something applying pressure to it, Gene.
Gene But, John, you can't operate on a tiger. Especially when you don't know his symptoms are.
Double vision and chronic headaches. He told me so.
Gene John, you're going to wind up back at Hammersmith's. I think I've seen very supportive of you, but if you expect me to believe that a tiger told you his symptoms are, I just think I might have to draw the line.
[growling]
You have to do something. Quick.
We got to get him into O.R. fast. It's the only chance he's got, Gene.
Gene What about the press conference?
C Cameraman
20 bucks says this guy never shows.
Watch your back, everybody. Trying to get to the operating room. Clear the way, please.
Outta the way, please. Outta the way.
Clear a spot. We have an emergency here. Ladies and gentlemen, please. Clear the way, please. Coming through. Coming through.
There you are. Let's do this.
Uh, Mr. Calloway, Mark broke his nose.
The nose can wait. The press is waiting.
Gene I-I-I-I...
Come on, partners. We're announcing.
I really don't know if we should leave Mark with his nose...
Where were you? I'll explain.
Thank you all for coming, and thank you all for being so patient. As you all know, the practice of medicine and the business of medicine have been undergoing very big changes in this country. We at Calnet strive to be at the forefront of these changes. That is why I'm proud to announce the acquisition of one of San Francisco's...
This is the life! Hot wings, nuts. I love nuts.
[Jacob growling, crowd screaming]
That's a big cat.
It's all right. It's okay. It's all right. It's okay. He's not gonna hurt anybody. He's just a very, very sick tiger.
You'd better have a rational explanation for all this.
You know, Mr. Calloway, I don't have a rational explanation for this. I wish I did, but I don't. Right now, I got a really sick tiger on my hands. I'm going to go back and try to save it. That's the only all that matters.
Dolittle, you go through with this...
[Jacob roaring, crowd screaming]
So if you'll excuse me.
Stupid cat. Ruined the party.
What do you mean, shut up? I was gonna do karaoke.
Okay, we're open. Gene, irrigate, please. All right, Jake, I need you to be alert. Tell me if you feel anything at all. Can you feel anything now?
No. Just the same old pain.
How about now? You feeling any numbness at all?
I... I can't. I don't know.
Just relax and listen to the sound of my voice, okay?
Don't be scared. I'm not gonna let you go.
He said he's a little scared.
Gene [machine beeping]
Pulse is dropping fast.
His dura is bulging. There's too much pressure.
Uh-oh. My left side went numb.
Gene Pulse still dropping.
Okay, all right. Hey, you just hang in there, okay, Jacob? Hang in there for me.
It's a blood clot. It has to be. All I gotta do is find it. We're too close to his motor strip. A little more suction, Gene. I got to be able to see.
Gene We're losing him. We got to relieve pressure.
Don't let go yet. We're almost there, all right? We're almost there.
I can feel it. There. That's it.
There? Okay. Okay, here we go.
[beeping stops]
It's gone. The pain is gone.
Gene Blood pressure stabilising.
[Lisa laughs]
It's gone. It's really gone.
[crowd cheering]
Yeah, Doc!
[animals cheering]
Thank you.
You are very welcome. You just lay back and relax. We're gonna have you back in the center ring in no time.
Hey, Doc! Why'd you go and do that? If he tries to eat me again, I'm going to smack that mustache off your face.
