02x02 - Guess Who's Coming to Doogie's

[bunniefuu]

Man: I've been here
15 minutes, spaulding.

Am I ever gonna see a doctor?

Why don't you see if you can
pull one off a golf course?

- Hey, guys...
- Excuse me, doctors.

- What do you know about this?
- Mr. Sullivan is back.

One, two, three, sh**t.

- Boom.
- Yes.

- Uh, two out of three?
- No way.

Mr. Sullivan, welcome back.

Oh, please, not the kid again.

Are you still playing doctor?

Yeah, just until I get it right.

It says here you vomited
blood earlier today.

At least you're
old enough to read.

I bet you help him
with all the big words.

You've obviously aggravated
your gastritis, mr. Sullivan.

My guess is it's developed
into a bleeding ulcer

And you may require surgery.
We're gonna have to admit you.

You mean I get to sleep over

In mr. Roger's neighborhood?

He'll need to be endoscoped to
maybe have an upper g.i. Series.

Oh, goody.

So, how's mr. Personality?

Ha, can you say "meet
whistle, boys and girls?"

Dr. Doug, you have a visitor.

Hey man, how's it going?

Good, good. How's
it going with you?

No, it's me, raymond.

Right, right...

"Z man"?

Not anymore. I gave all that up.

I'm just ray now.

That's great. You...
You look... You look...

Different. Um, I'm sorry,

Curly spaulding, ron
welch, jack mcguire.

- This is raymond alexander.
- Nice to meet you.

We're... We're old friends.

Yeah, we go way back.

Really? Where from?

Well...

We were... Ray?

I held him hostage in
a convenience store.

Oh...

I know you're kind of busy, man,

I just thought I cruise
by and see what's up.

I'm glad you did, ray.

See, I'm through g*ng-banging.

I'm into clean living
these days and...

Well, I was kinda
hoping that maybe

We could get together
some time and talk.

Sure, yeah, that'd be great.

Maybe you could come over
sometime for dinner or something.

What about tonight?

Tonight, as in this evening?

Hmm, why not?

Let me call... I
need to make a call.

Allow me.

Pardon me, madam,
but I was engaged

In a very important
business call

And I seem to have
been disconnected.

Thank you so much.

Hello, mom.

Guess who's coming to dinner.

This is come crib you
got here, dr. Howser.

Well, as cribs go,
it's a comfy one.

Doogie: smells great,
huh? Ray: oh, yeah.

Is this going to be
enough to go around?

Doogie: no, that
one's just for you.

You mean, we each
get our own chicken?

Actually, they're cornish
game hens, raymond.

You cook a good
hen, mrs. Howser.

You know this didn't
come out of a bucket.

So, raymond,

What are your
plans, now that you're

Free... At last?

Hallelujah!

Well, I've been thinking a lot

About what doogie
said in that store,

And, well, I was kinda hoping

That your offer is still good.

- What offer?
- About helping me out.

Maybe getting me a
job in the hospital.

Oh... Oh, uh...

That offer. Um...

Why, I don't know.
I could check.

What? Wait a minute.

I can't believe
I'm hearing this.

- Katherine...
- Look, I thought I could handle this.

I didn't realize I'd
still be this angry.

I'm sorry, but when
you walked in our door,

Every terrible
memory of what you did

- Came flooding back.
- Mom, it's okay.

No, it's not okay, doogie.

I still have nightmares...

Of him putting that
g*n to your head,

Of you dying in that store.

And I refuse to sit
here another minute,

Pretending that nothing's wrong.

Mrs. Howser?

Can I just say one thing?

I know how you feel about me,

And you've got every right to.

See, when I was sent away,

I had a lot of time to
think about who I was

And the people I hurt.

I don't wanna be
that person any more.

I just want you to know

That I'm real sorry about
pulling a g*n on your son.

I'm not proud of it,

And I promise you...

I'll never do it again.

Well, there you go.

Let me get this straight.

You want me to hire a new orderly
who has no high school diploma,

Who's never held a job and up
until last month was incarcerated

For holding you at g*n
point in a convenience store?

Look, dr. Canfield,
he's changed.

And if he hasn't?

The safety and
welfare of this hospital

Is my responsibility,
dr. Howser.

And what about our
responsibility to this community?

We can make a difference here, we can't
just turn our backs on guys like raymond.

We're only one
hospital, douglas.

We can't save the world.

I know that.

But we can at least
try to help one kid.

Come on, you took a chance
with me when everyone thought

You're crazy, and that
turned out great, didn't it?

All right, bad example.

Two weeks probation.

He slips up for any
reason, he's gone.

You're on.

Yes!

Ladies, if you ever
need anything,

You just ask for ray.

Doogie: oh, ray...

What did I tell you?

Ray, I'd like you
to meet alvin davis,

He's gonna be your supervisor.

What's up, man? All right.

Listen, you have any
questions, I'm your man.

Great. Where do we start?

I'm telling you, I don't
have any extra blood.

Relax, raymond.

I'm not ready yet!

Just give me a minute.

I gotta get myself
in the mood to bleed.

Okay, but I'm off in six hours.

Doog, I can't thank you
enough for inviting me here.

No problem, vin.

Hey, nurse spaulding,

I was hoping you'd be
here to do the honors.

Vinnie, I'm impressed.

I've never seen anyone quite
so excited about giving blood.

What?

Howser, you slime.

You said this was a sperm drive.

Sperm, blood, what's
the difference?

I wouldn't have dressed
up like this to give blood.

- Hey, vinnie,
how're you doing?
- Oh!

Doog, is this who I think it is?

That was my other surprise.

Huh, well, you can forget
about getting any blood out of me.

It just drained out of my body,

Along with another
primary fluid.

What are you doing
here, raymond?

Doogie got me a choice
orderly job here, man, I'm sailing.

I hope the world of
employment works for you.

The last job I
had, I got robbed.

I guess you know that.

Okay, raymond, no more stalling.

He's a little nervous
about giving blood.

Nervous? There's nothing
to be nervous about.

He'll just feel a slight
prick and then it'll all be over.

What's the matter, afraid
of a little blood, blood?

Just chill out, man,
it's nothing. Be tough.

Be a man.

Yeah...

Be a...

Be a man...

Is he looking up my skirt again?

No, I think this
time he's really out.

Oh, good.

That was fun. What's next?

- Hey, ray, how's it going?
- Fine.

Yo, hoss, been looking for ya.

I believe this is yours.

Yes! My first
paycheck ever, I'm legit.

Come to mama.

What? This has gotta be wrong.

I make 348.00 and I'm
taking home 235.00?

Welcome to the
wonderful world of the irs.

They put me in jail for robbery.

Raymond, I asked you
to bring up those x-rays

From cardiology an
hour ago. Where are they?

I thought I'd have
lunch first, babe.

I get them when I'm finished.

Wrong answer. When I ask
you to do something, you do it.

Not when it's convenient.

And I am not your
babe. I am a nurse.

You'll refer to me as nurse
spaulding, understood?

Understood.

Doogie!

You're the only one in here!
Who else could have taken it?

Man, I didn't take
your damn watch.

- Wait a minute. What's going on?
- The kid's a thief.

Came in to change my
sheets, stole my watch.

You got a big mouth, pal.

Raymond... Look, mr. Sullivan,

I'm sure there's an explanation,

It's probably just
misplaced. We'll find it.

I'll tell you exactly
where you'll find it.

I work around these
people. It's in their blood.

- That's it!
- Ray, let's take it outside.

What do you think you're doing,
ray? You can't treat a patient like that.

You kidding me? You heard
that guy, he's a r*cist pig.

I know he's a total jerk,
but that's not the point.

This isn't the streets, ray,

Whether we like it or not, in
here the patient is always right.

And I'm always wrong, huh?

I didn't say that. Come on,
ray, you're on probation,

You're acting like
you don't care.

I don't believe this.

You think I took that
watch, don't you?

I don't know.

Right.

Vinnie: hey!

Hey! That's no way

To treat the father
of quantum physics.

Okay, tell uncle vinnie
what's the problem.

You fight with wanda?

Your folks ground you?

Upset about this
acid rain thing?

Are you gonna tell me or am I gonna
have to stand here guessing all night?

Today a patient accused
raymond of stealing his watch.

He said he didn't take it, and
I don't know if I believe him.

So?

So, there is no
proof that he did.

It's totally unfair
of me to suspect him,

It's r*cist. I feel
lousy about it.

Doog, let me tell you something.

Janine's dad, he won't even let
me in the house alone with her.

He thinks I'm gonna jump
her bones, first chance I get.

He should, you're
a total horn dog.

Exactly my point... He's got
every reason to feel that way.

I got a reputation, of which
I'm very proud, mind you.

Vinnie, does this have a point?

The point is, it doesn't
matter what color raymond is,

Given his former
standing in the community,

It's not totally out of
the realm of possibilities

That he stole that watch.

So that's it, huh?

Any time something
like this happens again,

It's okay to blame raymond?

How is he gonna possibly
overcome a reputation like that,

When even his friend
can't trust him?

Got me.

And if you come
up with an answer,

Do me a favor,

And call jeanine's old man.

Ouch.

I'll need another four-inch...

Try and keep that elevated, and no
skateboarding for at least two weeks.

Doogie, I thought
you'd wanna know,

Sullivan found his watch. It
was in his bathrobe pocket.

- The guy's a jerk.
- Does raymond know?

Yeah, I told him.

Hi.

Look, I just found
out about the watch.

I'm sorry I suspected you.

Yeah, well sorry ain't
gonna cut it, friend.

Raymond, we're running low on
i.v. Fluids... I need you to run down

To central supply and
get some lactated ringers.

Get somebody else, I'm busy.

Hey, I asked you.

We can't afford to
run out, now just do it.

You know, I'm tired of
being the boy around here.

All you people got me doing

Is cleaning toilets
and mopping floors.

You're an orderly,
that's the job.

You can have your damned job!

Get your hands off me!

- What's your problem?
- I got no problem,

I'm just not gonna be the
n*gg*r around here any more.

Cut the crap, ray. This isn't
about race, it's about work.

If you were white, you'd be treated
the same way, held to the same standard.

- You understand nothing, man!
- I understand, ray,

I understand you're blaming
everybody else for your problems.

But you walk out now, you got
no one to blame but yourself.

Got a red blanket. g*nsh*t
wound to the right shoulder.

We've got an open bay in here.

Man: get the on-call
chest surgeon.

Doogie: notify x-ray, stat.

Doogie: get a
bolus of epi ready.

Let's get him over.
One, two, three!

Let's put two lines
in him and draw blood.

- He's lost a lot of blood.
- Vitals?

I know that guy. He's a crip.

No breast sounds. His
trachea's off to one side,

He's got a pneumothorax.
Let's get a chest tube in him.

- I can't hold him.
- Raymond.

Raymond!

Come here. I'll
start another line.

Pressure's dropping.

Open two units of plasmanate
and get a blood pump.

Call the blood bank, tell them
we need four units of o-negative.

- Life or death.
- Okay. Here.

- Pressure's still dropping.
- Put another line in.

Come on, come on.

Start a dopamine drip, stat!

No pulse, we're losing him.

He's fibrillating.

Clear.

Nurse: stand back.

- Nurse: here, I got him.
- Man: flatline.

Draw some blood
gases and start him on

500 Milligrams of
bretylium, stat.

Woman: right away, sir.

- Come on!
- He's fibrillating again.

- Clear?
- Clear!

Man: call orthopedics,
we need somebody up here.

- Doogie: pulse?
- Nothing.

No, no! No!

Fixed and dilated...
Heart's not responding.

That's it. Come on,
you should stop.

Come on!

That's it, doogie.
What's the time?

It's 22:36.

Damn!

P.a. System: dr. Rosenberger
to emergency, stat.

Dr. Rosenberger
to emergency, stat.

I can't believe you guys were
trying so hard to save a g*ng banger.

He wasn't a g*ng banger.

Not in here.

He was just another kid
who d*ed for no reason.

I'm scared, doogie.

I never told anybody else I
was scared before in my life.

It's the first time I ever
worked for anything

Instead of just taking it.

I never had a real job before.
I never had to take orders.

Yes, sir. No, ma'am.

It should have been enough

That I knew I didn't
take that watch.

I just couldn't stand people
immediately thinking that I did.

Don't burn this bridge, ray.

I don't want you
to end up like this.

I gotta get him in the drawer.

Wait.

I'll do it.

It's my job.

Mr. Sullivan, how
are you feeling?

I just had an operation. How
the hell am I supposed to feel?

Your procedure
went very smoothly,

Although we did have an
unusual cross-match problem.

Give it to me in
english, einstein.

You have a very rare blood type,

We could only find
one donor to match you,

So he gave you
two units of blood.

Great, what's that
gonna cost me?

Oh, nothing, nothing. We just
thought you would wanna meet him.

Sure, send him in.
I'll give him a plaque.

You can come in now.

Mr. Sullivan, my man.

Looks like you're getting
a little color already,

If you catch my drift.

Him?

I got his blood?

Hey, I got you a
little something.

The new janet jackson cassette.

I got a feeling you'll be
grooving to the sister in no time.

Rest up, home boy.
Soul train's on at nine.

Doogie, what's with
the sunglasses?

Uh, raymond gave them to me.

Canfield made him
permanent today.

Oh.

That's great. Good night, honey.

Good night, mom.

Umm...

If you wanna ask him over
for dinner again some time,

It's all right with me.

Thanks, mom.
