Emergency Wedding (1950)

you I might as well start my story at the very beginning here at the California Maternity Hospital is where it all began yep that's me in the nurses arms the forceful looking gent with the moustache was my father Peter Judson Curt I was named June 1 life wasn't enough for a man like my father he was going to live it all over again through me well since he was an expert horseman jr. had to be an expert horseman hey I was willing but the horse wasn't and since seen he was an all-american halfback jr. had to be an all-american halfback pretty good halfback again unfortunately that wasn't me wasn't even my team meet me compared to my ball of fire Popeye well anyway I had a good seat and I kept it warm all season father was a department store tycoon so jr. had to be a department store tycoon and even after Dad passed on and I took over the old comparisons persistent he finally began to get me and I started thinking of selling out living my own life my own way well I did sell them I dropped the junior and I began catching up on all the things the old man never permitted me before and one of them was driving right behind me the absence of bradycardia indicates very little concussion I do notice a small hematoma of the right varietal region also there's some swelling of the lateral malleolus so there might be a fracture that left ankle perhaps there could be a crack of the tibia and fibula higher up so I think a picture of the entire leg oh hello for a minute I thought it was you spouting all that medical stuff it was this is dr. Honda Los Angeles doctor yes I was right behind you when the accident occurred oh really you need to be alarmed but you heard it may be nothing more than an extra hard bump on the head that puts you out for so long but we're gonna check to make sure well i be on my way on your way well you can't walk out in the middle of the case like this it's unethical this is dr. Wilson's case and you're in very capable hands of course dr. hunt if you'd like to step in no dr. Wilson I wouldn't think of it very well oh wait a minute doesn't the patient have anything to say about who's to treat him of course sorry you're the doctor seems like there are be something you can treat me for you saw the x-rays the only damage seems to be to your car Oh mr. Kirk I'll put your things in dr. hunts car thank you I'm afraid you'll have to take them out I'm in a hurry to get back to Los Angeles well that's exactly where I'm going would you mind an extra passenger well 500 miles is a rather long trip and you should really rest a few hours oh I find traveling very restful besides you'll be driving most of the night it's not safe for a woman alone sometimes it's safer but I guess I can risk it these lonely stretches always make me rather sad ever affect you that way mr. Kirk ordinarily yes right now No don't think it's about time and started calling me Peter Peter Peter Kirk not the big department store man only by inheritance jr. part of the inheritance why I've been wearing your undies ever since I was in pigtails from pigtails to prescription quite a jump not necessarily for many women doctors as beautiful as you oh the time I've wasted being well the last man that said that to me was 73 his age was his alibi I'm sorry but I do think you're pretty community is that my motor it isn't me oh nothing serious I'll have it fixed in a jiffy any place to get a bite to eat around here ratchet elves just down the road a bit we have time you slow leaders are fast ears they sort of need him your car will be ready by the time you get your apple pie let's suppose we don't like apple pie well you better like it's the only kind of ever had then all you actually do is travel and play around well as a matter of fact it is a kind of a pointless existence predicted one of these days I'm gonna get going on something I should think so five years of just wasting time if I hadn't been just wasting time I'd never met you we'd better see if the cars ready I'm anxious to get started why hurry we stay a little longer it's very nice here my vacations over oh there you are everything fixed yeah I just had to push the radiator back into place we're ready only and pushing the radiator back I uh busted your fan though you can replace it can't you I can replace a fan belt chuckling you can spit by only I ain't got a fan belt can't you get another one oh I can get one in a jiffy but not tonight you mean we're stuck here huh oh no ma'am I'll get you out first thing in the morning yeah it's lucky we found such a nice place to spend the night there's really no need of you're waiting until morning you can take a bus or something oh well there's no bus at this hour one comes along in 20 minutes can't ride the bus you know the gas fumes I get busted you can catch the train at the junction that's worse I also get train sick all I ever get is homesick homesick isn't it you home yep and I'm sick of it right this way miss well I guess you think I'm kind of a nuisance that's rather leading question you're around this sides well it if you're under the impression I'm sort of maneuvering aren't you yeah as long as we understand each other good night Oh doctor I still think you're pretty wonderful and I'm not 73 oh there's a little mix-up about the water in this room you see the hot water is marked cold and the cold water is marked hot but don't you worry about it we never have any hot water good night and now for you lovers of blood and terror KLM presents horror in the night Peter Peter Kirk what do you realize it's awfully late can't sleep after all what's happened today you've got to get some rest I tried no go I'll take care of that come in we take one of these and you'll be asleep in no time oh no no no I I can't take care to do as I say into bed I'd rather talk this is no time for talking take that robe off and get into bed well now there's no point in trying to make me take pills I can't swallow them you'll find taking a pill is very easy with a little water but I open at you I kitten there now that was easy enough wasn't it a little more water Matt did it sometimes this works now go to bed believe me these things may put me to sleep with this you're not gonna fix what's bothering me what's bothering you you see I'm in love love with you that's good with me mm-hmm and and I have a strange feeling that someday we're gonna be married now say it's a strange feeling I don't mean today here tomorrow but someday well it's certainly nice of you to tell me before I read it in the paper I do it too minute I laid eyes on it's crazy absolutely crazy maybe but I just wanted to know how I feel is that all yeah Hey except I do want to marry you maybe you better take another one of these pills won't help I won't get a good night's rest till we're married good night tonight mr.

Kirk don't start him again there hasn't been and I just want to talk to her I don't think she wants to talk to you just tell her I'm here oh please she's had a very tough day look she's still my wife and if I want to see her I'll see it alright mr. Kirk I'll tell her you're here he's here again would I be too curious if I asked who was here again mr. Kirk tell him I'm busy that didn't stop him before and it certainly isn't gonna stop him this time he's got that same while look in his eye well tell him to come in I'm sticking around - that won't be necessary Emma well I am I know those rich boys when they don't get what they want and I'm sticking around hello hello Peter I a anything we have to say to each other can be said in front of him oh oh I ran across the situation that disturbed me very much and I thought you and I working together on I could really do something about it you and I well yeah it's kind of your alley it's about doctors foreign doctors who aren't allowed to practice in this country I think something should be done about this what brought this on Peter well I suddenly came face-to-face with the situation oh you did well yes you see a newsboy saved my life almost got killed doing it well there he was bleeding away with one of the finest surgeons of Vienna just standing there unable to treat him simply because he couldn't get a license to practice in this country that's a very interesting story you don't believe me do you even if I did you and I working together Peter it it wouldn't be wise well you don't think I came up here just it perhaps not nevertheless I'd advise you to stick to whatever you're doing with yourself and leave these matters to the Medical Association it seems to me it's been left to them too long and what's more your high and mighty Medical Association can be wrong for your information I just happen to approve of their position you approve yes approve and if you'd like to know why I am certain dr. White's already told me why and if I have been a great disappointment to you may I you you more than balanced the books I came up here because well there's some people worth fighting for now I see there are a few people to fight against but I get that bulb in Charlie here comes the cow they're no boundaries to human suffering and they're no boundaries to the endless fight against it as great as the medical profession is today it would not be as great if it weren't for the development of penicillin by dr. Fleming's Scotsman the discovery of insulin by dr. Banting and canadian the advancement of surgery by durante in italian if it weren't for men like Modesto for Russian air like a German Sauk L an Austrian yet with all these tremendous contributions to the science of medicine made by doctors of foreign birth our laws prohibit prohibit men of dr. hamer's eminence from practicing their profession here simply because they haven't served their their years of internship in this country now if this were only an injustice to dr. Heim er and the men like him it's quite possible I wouldn't be here today but this is an injustice to you and me and the hundred and fifty million people like us were deprived of a skill and a knowledge and the desire to serve of these fine men I hope this committee will place the interests of that that great majority above the interests of the selfish few and put an end to this ridiculous and undemocratic state of affairs thank you dr. hunt I will try to be as brief as possible simply because I agree with everything mr. Kirk is said however the internship law is not directed at the dr. hamer's the men have established reputation and practice it is directed at the countless unknowns from remote countries and medical schools whose standards are admittedly far below our own certainly there are some in justices since we cannot have a separate law for every doctor who comes into our country but is it an injustice to expect people coming here to practice medicine to meet the same high requirements we demand of our own doctors is it an injustice to refuse licenses to the men with only two three or four years of college when we demand the minimum of eight plus a year's internship for our own men and women is it an injustice to say that the interests of the hundred and fifty million people mr. Kirk talks about are best served by improving our standards not lowering them if mr. Kirk hadn't been so eager for a fight and a chance to sling mud he would have learned that our problem is not one of demanding internship for the immigrant doctors it is one of finding places where they can serve these internships more hospitals if mr. Kirk really wants to render a public service I suggest you do something about that and leave the management of the medical profession to the men and women who have built it into the great institution that it is the doctors mr. Kirk the committee agrees with dr. hunt and it shall recommend the law remain exactly as it is I'm sorry Peter my good friend dr. white and I became so absorbed in my personal problem we did it carry us away I'm afraid dr. hunt is right but some Goods come out of it though now I realize how serious your problem actually is our person with my kind of money can really help you you Peter oh hello Doctor how I busy thanks to you I'm sorry I'm late that's all right I heard it for you well I've seen it aren't you proud of yourself I guess so you don't look so well a mess I've made it my marriage is finally becoming official I'm not really good at riddles you know my wife's been in Reno that is even more baffling our perhaps I can put it into scientific terms for you husband feeling own inadequacies subconsciously resents men of achievement resentment turns into insane jealousy which makes married life horrible nightmare result divorce Peter this institution were the opportunities that provides for men like me and the hope that it gives countless thousands of other displaced victims of war Nate was not built merely by the writing of your checks it took you your time your energy your planning and above all the will to better this world we living but this is a great achievement and you should no longer feel inadequate frankly doctor I don't bet well after all the embarrassment and humiliation I've caused it that was the old Peter cook that's what I keep telling myself well you are talking to the wrong person tell it to her I don't know you really think oh you're Peter if your marriage is worth saving it is worth fighting for maybe I should can't lose what I've already lost now don't mix me up again there's a plane leaving Killeen on an hour you sure no but you could die easily find out all right Peter take this she may want you to autograph it for her you how long will you be staying mrs. cream next weeks and you mrs. haze six weeks how long will you be with us mrs. younge six weeks thank you how long will you be staying mr.
