- Hello?

Ah. Buenos dias.

Buenos zfias, Emily.

JQHE' E's uh...

e/ breakfast?

- Huevos rancheros.
- Huevos rancheros. That figures.

- Well, Bob, I'm just trying to get you in the mood.
- Emily, I'm in the mood.

Haven't I said "Buenos zfias” every morning
since we decided to go to Mexico?

Yeah, but it's the way
you say it.

If you're gonna make me feel
like I'm dragging you along...

it's not gonna be any fun.

I mean, you just don't seem excited.

Emily, I'm excited. I just-
I just don't show it the same way you do.

- Oh.
- Emily, look.

Uh, you tell me about Mexico.
We'll talk about it...

and-and I'll show you
how excited I get.

Okay. Our first day there,
we're gonna go to the bullfights.

That's fine, as long as we can watch 'em
from the hotel window.

Oh, Bob. I hope you don't expect
to spend the whole vacation...

lying around the hotel room.

I really wanna see the bullfights...

and Sunday is the only
day they fight.

- What about the next Sunday?
- Oh, that's no good.

That's the th, and, according
to my temperature chart...

that'; the day we should
lie around the hotel room.

They can, uh- They can really
pinpoint it that closely?

I don't know what you mean
by pinpointing it...

but the doctor said the I th is the day,
and : is the time.

Hmm, sounds like
pinpointing to me.

He also said, when people are relaxed
and comfortable in a different atmosphere-

you know, like a vacation- that's the time
that a lot of babies are conceived.

But he didn't pinpoint Mexico.
I mean, we-

We could be anywhere.

Let me put it this way, Bob.
I'm gonna be in Mexico...

and I think
we ought to be together.

Maybe I'll come down
for the day.

- [ Laughing]
- I'm just kidding. I'm looking forward to Mexico.

But underneath all that kidding
is a man who hasn't learned any Spanish...

and who probably
hasn't even packed.

Emily, I'm all packed.
Everything is in my shaving kit.

All you have to do is zip it up.

- You just don't seem enthusiastic.
- I'll tell you one more time.

I'm excited about going to Mexico.
I'm looking forward to going to Mexico.

I have one appointment this morning.
I'm gonna rush back here, and then we're off.

When we get to Mexico, I promise you
I will love everything about Mexico.

Okay, honey. I believe you.

Oh, Bob. You barely touched
your huevos rancheros.

I just- I don't like Mexican food.
I don't know.

[Blowing Nose]

Well, Mr. Trevesco, a lot of people
have trouble showing affection.

From what you've told me,
your-your father was not a demonstrative man.

Oh, he was demonstrative all right.

I mean, you did something wrong,
and- whack! You know, whack!

I know what you mean by “whack?

You know, I can't remember
my father even huggin' me once.

- How about your mother?
- I don't think he ever hugged her either.

No. I mean, did she hug you?

Oh, yeah. She was different.
She hugged me lots...

after my father hit me.

Well, maybe we ought
to work on that while I'm away...

you know, trying to be-
to be more affectionate.

If you, uh- If you feel
like hugging your wife, uh, go ahead.

I mean, when- When was the last time
you hugged your wife?

- You mean, just hugged her?
- Yeah.

New Year's Eve.

Well, have-have you ever
felt like hugging her since?

I mean,just... hugging her.

Well, yeah, I guess so.

Well, why don't-
Why don't you go with that feeling?

Yeah. I see what you mean.
lfl feel somethin'...

I should show it,
express myself.

Right. But, uh, our time is up.

So, why, uh- Why don't
you work on that while I'm away?

Aw, gee, thanks, Doc.

- Hey, you're terrific.
- [ Gasps]

Aw, that's nice.

Yeah, I get
what you mean, Doc.

I'll try it. I reallywill.

Yeah, that's a terrific feeling.

Hey, Doc, that's enough, huh?

Hey, Doc? Doc?
Hey, what's wrong?

- My back.
- Hey. Hey, somebody. Come in here.

There's something wrong
with the doc.

Oh, my gosh.
Uh, give him air.

- Stand back!
- Stand back, and he'd fall over.

All I did was give him
a friendly whack on the back.

Geez! I gotta learn
to be more gentle.

- Hey.
- Now, Bob, don't move. It'll only make it worse.

Hey, I'm the one that-
that knocked it out of place.

- You think maybe I could just, uh-
- No! No!

No, no. I'll just call a doctor.

Um, Bob, don't move.

- {Tapping Keys]
- Bob hurt his back. Come right away.

Hey, he's tryin'
to go to the couch.

Can you get him to the couch
without moving him?

- Ah! You're moving him.
- No, I'm not.

I'm steering him
in the right direction.

That-That's it.

- There you go.
- [ Moans]

Hey. Hey, look at that, huh?

My shrink on a couch.

Where is he? Oh, my gosh.

Look at him.
How did this happen?

[Gasping] My back is out.
It's nobody's fault.

No, no. It was my fault.
I'm like a cow in a china shop.

- Did you call a doctor?
- I called you.

His teeth are fine.
Now call somebody for his back.

He needs a back specialist, someone
who'll give him heat therapy, traction-

the works- even though
it usually doesn't help.

- What about acupuncture?
- No!

Well, maybe-
Maybe I should call Emily.

No, no. Don't-
Don't call Emily.

I feel-l feel fine.
Everything's gonna be all right.

- I'm just-
- Are you sure, Bob?

Yeah, I'm sure. It's-

It's amazing how it canjust-

just go awayjust-just like that.

Geez. That's a miracle.
He's all better.

Well, I gotta go. Unless
there's something I gotta-

- You want me for something?
- Oh, no, no, no.

You've done enough.
Thank you.

Bob? Bob, where do you
thinkyou're going? Uh-

Mexico.

Mexico? You're lucky if you make it
as far as the elevator.

Jerry, I don't have any choice.

Emily already-already
feels I don't wanna go.

Ifshe-she finds out what happened here,
she'll think I'm faking it.

Well, you're not, are you, Bob?

No, I guess you're not.

Boy, luckyl came
by the garage and found you.

- Take it easy. Watch it.
- Thanks, Howard.

Wait. Let me get the door closed.
Watch the steps.

Boy, it was really spooky-
just sitting there in your car...

staring straight ahead.

I thought you were listening to the music
on the radio, but you weren't.

No. I couldn't tap my feet, Howard.

Easy, easy does it.

Boy, you should have a doctor
look at that back.

Yeah. I- I ran into a back specialist
on the elevator.

- What'd he say?
- He gave me some muscle-relaxing pills...

and said I was doing
a great impression of Boris Karloff.

- Easy, Bob. Easy.
- [ Exhales]

Boy, Emily's really going to be disappointed
about not making that trip.

No, she isn't, Howard,
because we're-we're going.

- Really?
- Really.

- [Key Turning In Lock]
- That's- That's Emily. Now, remember, Howard.

Don't worry about me.
My... lips are sealed.

Oh. Hi, honey.
Hi, Howard.

[Muffled]
Hi, Emily.

Oh, honey. I'm so glad you got home
on time. Everything's all set.

I canceled the newspaper,
Marilyn's gonna pick up the mail.

I'm all packed, and all we have to do
is sit on the bags. I'm gonna need your help.

Coming.

Never mind,

Gee, I didn't need your help.
I hope I'm not putting on weight.

I wanna leave a light burning.
Which one should I leave?

Bob, would you get the suitcases?
I think I'll leave this one.

Bob? Aren't you ever
gonna get up?

Well, I- I hope so. There's-
There's so much I wanna do.

Bob?

Bob- what's wrong?

Nothing. I was just noticing the-
the carpeting needs cleaning.

Bob, now, something is wrong.

No, no. We can clean it.

What is it?
What happened?

All right, I'll tell you.
One of my patients whacked me in the back.

- Why?
- Because he likes me.

- And you can't even straighten up?
- It's not all that bad, Emily.

I've found a whole new world
I never knew existed down here.

Oh. Bob, now,
this is nothing to kid about.

Emily, I can kid about it
because-because I'm fine.

I'll- I'll go get the bags.

Bob, look at you.

I can't.

Bob, you're in no shape
to go anywhere.

Emily, yes, I am.
We're going to Mexico.

I just want you
to stay by my side...

to make sure no one
throws a saddle on me.

Bob.

- Yes, honey?
- Go to bed.

I'm on my way.
