"How long does it take them to cook a steak around here?" "They went out to kill the cow." "Will you take it easy?" "You just ordered." "They don't have to kill the cow." "Wait a little longer, it will die of old age." "How's that feeling coming?" "Any idea what the assignment is yet?" "No." "Can't figure it out, either." "There's just something different about this one." "I don't know what it is." "Here we go, two maxi-steak dinners, one for you and" " They're both for me." " I get full just watching him." "Would you just bring me some ketchup?" "Ketchup coming right up." "Well, you work on the assignment, I'll work on these." "Hey, baby." "How would you like to go for a ride on a big hog?" "Wouldn't wanna hurt your back." "Hey, you've got a bad mouth on you, princess." "I've got work to do." "Come on, don't be rude to the customers." "Take your hand off my arm." "Sure." "I'd rather put it around your waist." "Let's dance." "Hey, leave her alone." "Smokey the Bear to the rescue." "I don't want any trouble." "Just let me go." "There won't be any trouble, will there, Smokey?" "No, not if you leave her alone." "Hey, this guy thinks he's real tough." "Hey, macho man." "Go get him, bud." " Hey, Mark." " Jonathan, stay out of this." "Look out." "Here he comes." "Tough guy." "Now listen, fella." "You either leave that lady alone or I'm gonna pull your earring off and stick it up your nose." "You wanna rumble, Smokey?" "Let's get it on." " Mark, Mark, let me handle this." " Will you stay out of this?" "If I can't whip two guys with earrings on, I ought to just hang it up." "Mark, I just don't see what you're so mad about." "You don't see what I'm so mad about?" "You don't see what I'm so mad about?" "Now listen, will you turn that thing down in there, pal?" "Come on!" "You wanna see what I'm mad about?" "You wanna see what I am mad about?" "Look." " What?" " What do you mean, what?" "I've got a knot on my head here and I got a shiner." "Hey, look, you're the one who told me to stay out of it." "Well, what do you listen to me for?" "You're the angel." " I finally stepped in, didn't I?" " Well, that was a big deal." "You go:" "Look at you, you don't have a mark." " Of course not.That's not my fault." " It's because you got the stuff." "Because I'm an angel." "I tell you, it's not fair, Jonathan." "I mean, you haven't got a mark on you, I'm half dead!" "My friend, I'm all-the-way dead." "That's how I got the stuff." "Hey, pal, will you knock that music off in there?" "Turn it down!" " Mark, will you calm down?" " What do you mean, calm down?" "You know, Jonathan, it is not fair." "We go on these assignments together, right?" "I do half the work and you get all the stuff." "There's nothing I can do about that." "Well, the boss could if he wanted to." "I mean, look at this eye." "Look at it." "And a big knot up here on my head." "I couldn't even eat my steaks." "Just one time I would like to go on an assignment where I get the stuff and you get the appetite." "I wouldn't talk like that." "I think he heard you." "Well, I want him to hear me." "Come on, boss, what do you say?" "Just one time." "Just give me an assignment." "I don't care what it is." "Just give me the stuff and I'll handle it." "Mark, Mark, you know the old saying:" ""Don't wish for something, you might get it"?" "Might get it?" "Might get it?" "I want to get it." "Come on, boss, what do you say?" "How about we trade places." "You wanna see angeling?" "I'll show you angeling, just give me the stuff." "See?" "Nothing." "He doesn't listen to me." "He never listens to me." "Boy, I would like to get my hands on that guy." "Will you knock it off!" "Hey, Jonathan." "My eye doesn't hurt anymore!" "And the lump's gone off my head." "The stuff." "I got the stuff!" "I got the stuff!" "What, ain't you got anything to say?" "I'm hungry." "Is this where the assignment is?" "I don't know." "I just got a feeling we're supposed to be here." "Couldn't you be a little more specific?" "Will you calm yourself?" "I'm working on it." "Yeah." "Right." "Mrs. Carter, second floor, Department of Social Services." "What are we gonna be doing?" "Ain't it the pits when you don't know anything?" "Mr. Smith, Mr. Gordon, I'm glad you're here." "Mary Creswell was originally supposed to take this case" " but she just had" " Just had a baby boy." "Yes, how did you know?" " Mark is very intuitive in that way." " Yeah, right." "Well, good." "Because I think it's going to take about all of your intuition and sensitivity to handle this case." "Hey, no matter what it is, we can handle it, you know, no sweat." " No sweat, Mr. Gordon?" " Yeah." "I mean, what's her problem?" "Her parents splitting up?" "Is she on drugs or--?" "Oh, no." "Oh, no." "Mark, what's wrong?" "She's dying." "Jonathan, she's gonna die." " Yes?" " Mrs. Bradley?" "Yes." "I'm Mark Gordon, this is Jonathan Smith." "We're social workers assigned to Lee's case." "Oh, yes." "Mrs. Carter said you'd be coming by." "My husband's inside." "Come on in." "Thank you." "This is my husband, Jim." "How are you?" "Please have a seat." " Can I get either of you anything?" " No, no, we're fine, thank you." "So you two are taking Mary's place." "Yes, we are." " I understand she had a little boy." " Yeah." "Well, I'm happy for her." "You tell her that next time you see her, eh?" "She's been very sweet." "We'd appreciate it." "Yes, I'll do that." "Listen, I am gonna have to ask a couple of questions to kind of update this file." "It says that the doctors are considering another bone marrow transplant." "Yeah, that's right." "Do you think you'll go ahead with that?" "Well, I don't know." "We haven't decided yet." "They don't give it much of a chance." "She's already had one transplant." "And there's the pain, you know?" "It's painful." "She's been through so much already." "The chemo is" "You know, you wonder when it's time to say enough, you know?" "Just stop hurting our little girl." "And then you think, but it's a chance, you know?" "So you've gotta take it." "We've been going through this two years, almost, and all the time we've been thinking she was gonna get better, you know?" "That the doctors must be wrong, because this can't be happening to our baby." "She wanted" "She wants to be a marine biologist." "Ever since she was a kid, you couldn't keep her out of the water." "You always said she was part fish." "She scuba dives, she knows every book Cousteau ever wrote." "Other kids wanted dolls for Christmas." "She wanted us to contribute money to Save the Whales." "That was her dream." "That is her dream." "To do something, you know?" "Make some contribution in that area." "There's gonna be a Save the Dolphins campaign thing in a couple of months." "She could tell you all about dolphins, you know?" "See, that's why she's not sure about the bone marrow transplant." "I think she figures she doesn't have much of a chance anyway and if she could just, you know, just be around for that," "that's all she wants." "And she's..." "She's so scared." "She doesn't talk about it, but she's so scared of dying." "Does she have a little brother and sister?" "That's right." "How are they dealing with all this?" "The 10-year old, Bobby, our youngest, he goes around locking all the doors and windows every night." "The counsellor says he's- He's trying to lock out death." "And Jennifer, our middle girl, she's afraid to touch Lee anymore." "She's afraid she'll get sick." "And she's just--I don't know." "She's just kind of giving up." "She used to be a very good student." "Now, nothing." "Mr. and Mrs. Bradley, what can we do?" "I don't think there's anything anybody can do." "Talk to her." "She's" " She's starting to shut us out, as if" "I don't know, as if" "As if she wanted to protect us." "Can you believe that?" "She's worrying about us." "Can you believe it?" "From what you've just said about her, I can believe it." "Honey, there's a Mr. Gordon here." "He's the new social worker." " Hi." " Hi." " You feel up to talking a little?" " Yeah, sure." "I guess." "Why not?" "Well, I'll leave you two alone." " Can I get you anything?" " No, thanks, Mom." "Well, I'm Mark." "I hear you're real interested in fish and stuff, huh?" "Folks say you wanna be a marine biologist." "Yeah." "Well, I'll bet you'll be a good one." "I won't be around." "You don't know that for sure." "Yes." "I do." "I heard with a bone marrow transplant, there's a chance that" "I'm not gonna have any transplant." "How come?" "I mean, if there's a chance." "There's so much you could do in this world." "So much you could contribute." "I don't want to, that's all." "Well, what about this dolphin thing your mom was telling me about?" "Some kind of campaign or something you wanna be a part of." "Yeah, Save the Dolphins." "Fishermen kill hundreds of thousands of them in their nets every year." "Aren't there laws?" "I thought I read about some kind of law." "Sure, there are laws, but they need to make them stronger." "There's so much money being pumped in to lobby against it this year." "There's a good chance they'll take it off the books or water it down so much" "Everything is money." "And there's no money to be made in saving dolphins, is there?" "No, I guess not." "It's the money, that's what it is." "I just told you that." "No, no, no." "I'm not talking about the dolphins." "I'm talking about your operation." "That's why you won't have the bone marrow transplant, it's the money." "That's not true." "Yes, it is." "You're afraid that your folks don't have the money." "That's exactly what you're thinking." "Who are you, The Great Kreskin?" "Just leave me alone, okay?" "She said it was the money?" "That's ridiculous." "I know, but she's got it in her head that that's the reason." "Look, I think if you talk to her and explain to her that it's not the money..." "Oh, sure, you bet." "Why should money be a problem, huh?" "Hey, I didn't mean it like that." "I know it can't be easy." "Look, Mr. Gordon, I know you're trying to help, but maybe you should just let us work this out for ourselves." "Sure, I just wanted you to know how she felt." "I'm better qualified to know how my daughter feels." "Look, let me get this stuff raked up, okay?" "It is the money." "What?" "You are worried about the money." "She isn't making it up in her head." "You're damn right I'm worried." "What the hell do you know about it?" "The years of tests, of hospitals, of operations." "Hospitals..." "Go away, Mr. Gordon." "Just go away." " Mark." " What?" "Would you stop pacing?" "It's like trying to watch a Connors-Becker match." "I don't know what else to do." "I mean, I'm not hungry." "Ain't got no appetite, can't sleep, my eyes are wide open." "I just know I should do something." "Jonathan, you know," "I thought that, you know, when I got the stuff," "I'd be able to, you know, work anything out." "Now I got the stuff..." " Not that simple, is it?" " No, not that simple." "I mean, what kind of a father would put money in front of his own kid's welfare?" "Now, come on, you don't know that's what he's doing." "Jonathan, I could read his mind." "I'm telling you, he was thinking about the money." "You were reading some of his thoughts." "That's like reading one line in an article in a newspaper." "Jim's got a lot of thoughts in his mind, a lot of things he's thinking about." "A lot of things he's trying not to think about." "Let me tell you what I think about a guy who'd put" "Hey." "The job description does not call for your passing judgement." "Well, whatever it calls for, I haven't got." "I mean, the guy threw me out." "The stuff didn't work any miracles there." "Look, there are no simple answers for these things." "Not the important things." "I mean, the stuff is fine for little things." "The heart and the mind take a lot longer." "What do I do now?" "You give it some time." "Hey, whatever you said to him touched a nerve." "Let him wrestle with it for a while." "I'm gonna go wrestle with a sandwich." "Hi, Jennifer." "Hi, Mr. Smith." "What are you doing here?" "I thought I'd walk along with you, we could talk a little bit." " About what?" " Anything that comes to your mind." "Am I part of your caseload too?" "You might say that." "We try to work with the whole family." "Yeah, well, I'm fine." "Your parents told me you used to get straight A's till Lee got sick." "Is this about my grades?" "Give me a break." "Who cares about my stupid grades?" "Who cares about anything?" "Your parents, for one thing." "That's why they mentioned it." "Well, I don't care." "What's the use?" "You used to think school was pretty important." "Yeah, well, I used to think a lot of things were pretty important, okay?" "I don't anymore." "Why not?" "Because people don't live very long in my family, okay?" "Good enough for you?" "Come on." "You don't really think you're gonna get sick because Lee did." "We have the same genes, don't we?" "We come from the same family." "And you have one colour hair and she's got another." "Jennifer, you're not your sister and she's not you." "I never thought kids could really die." "I thought it was just for grandparents and stuff like that." "Well, I was stupid." "It doesn't have anything to do with how good you are." "Don't give me any of that God stuff about how he looks out for you because he doesn't." "Lee didn't do anything wrong." "What's she being punished for?" "She's not." " She's got cancer, doesn't she?" " That's not a punishment." "What would you call it then?" "A disease." "A vicious disease that very, very rarely strikes kids your age." "I'm scared." "I'm so scared." "Oh, I know." "I know, kiddo." "But don't you see?" "That's why it's so important to talk about it." "Just bring that fear out in the open so you can deal with it." "Because then you can help Lee deal with it." "She needs you now." "She needs her sister." "What can I do?" "I can't help her." "Oh, sure you can." "You know, there's lots of things a kid can't talk to their parents about." "You know, secrets you can only tell your brother or sister." "Aren't you and Lee like that?" "We used to be, before" "Before she got sick." "Oh, let it be that way again." "Jennifer, you're alive and your sister's alive." "Life's so short no matter how long you live." "What a shame it would be to waste it worrying about what might happen." "I just--I love her and I don't" "Don't tell me, kiddo, tell her." "She needs to hear that from you." "And I think you need to say it." "Okay, baby." "Okay." "Come in." "Hi." "Hi." "How do you feel?" "Okay, I guess." "Lee, can I--?" "Can I talk to you?" "I suppose." "What do you wanna talk about?" "I don't know." "Stuff." "What kind of stuff?" "Well, I don't know." "I got this problem." "What?" "Well, Tommy Henderson asked me to go with him." "And he's real nice and everything, and maybe I would, except for Maria Parksow." "You know, the girl with the red hair who's in my homeroom?" "Well, she said that she thinks Brian Wilkerson likes me and maybe he might ask me to go with him." "And I mean, I really like him a lot but I don't wanna hurt Tommy Henderson's feelings either." "So, I mean, I don't know what to do." "Jennifer." "I mean, come on, give me a break." "I got cancer." "What do I care?" "Well, big deal, your cancer." "I'm talking about boys here, this is important." "Stop it." "Bobby was asleep already." "Seems like all he does lately is sleep." "Well, he's a growing boy, he needs his sleep." "This is cosy." "I wanna get pregnant." "What?" "I wanna get pregnant." "I wanna have another baby." "Lisa, is this a joke?" "I wanna feel some life inside of me." "Well, let's go out for some Cajun food." "Jim, I'm serious." "So am I, Lisa." "Forget it." "I don't know what you can be thinking of." "We're gonna lose her, Jim." "We're gonna lose our first-born." "So, what do you wanna do?" "You wanna have a replacement child?" "Yes." "Lisa, for crying out loud." "I'm trying to figure out if we can afford to have a bone marrow transplant for Lee without bankrupting us, losing the house, everything we've got on an operation that probably won't even work and you're talking about having another kid." "How can you even think about it?" "Any other pressure you'd like to put on this family?" "All you ever think about is the money." "Yeah, because I'm the one who has to make it." "I'm the one who's responsible here." "I'm the one who has to see to it that there's enough for the two other kids we've already got." "Where are you going?" "Out." "Give me a beer." "Oh, brother." "The one seat that's left in the one bar that's open, and it's next to you." "Uncanny, isn't it?" "How you doing?" "Great." "Okay?" "Nice shirt." "Look, Jim, if you feel like talking, I got nothing better to do than listen." "Well, how about it?" "You wanna shoot some pool?" "We don't have to talk." "You know what my wife told me tonight?" "She wants to get pregnant." "I mean, the last two years, Lee's illness." "It's eaten up all our insurance." "We don't have any catastrophic-illness insurance." "Just my regular health plan at work." "There ought to be catastrophic illness insurance in this country." "Well we sure don't have any." "From now on, it comes out of our pocket." "First thing that goes is the savings for the kids' college." "The only other thing I got is the house." "We're cutting into muscle here." "I've got other kids I've gotta raise and she wants another one." "I mean, I'm the father, damn it." "I'm responsible here." "You in the service, Jim?" "Yeah, yeah." "Vietnam, grunt." "Me too." "I was a squad leader." "Yeah, a squad leader." "I got all the way to E4 before they busted me." "I used to tell that same lie to myself." "Lie?" "What lie?" "What are you talking about?" "I had a friend who got hit." "Actually, a lot of them got hit." "But this one guy and I, we were real close." "But do you think old Mark broke?" "No way." "No, I said, "Hey, I don't have time to cry." "I don't have time for pain." "I am a squad leader." "I am responsible." "I have work to do."" "Besides I couldn't control it." "I could not control the enemy's incoming rounds." "I could not control who it hit." "So I looked around for the things that I could control and I said, "Hey, that is all I am gonna think about."" "Like you right now." "Pretending that all you're thinking about is the money." "I don't blame you, Jim." "Really, I don't blame you." "She's my baby." "She's my little girl." "I love her so much." "Let it go, pal." "Let it go." "Boss, I'm telling you," "I don't know how long you're gonna give Mark the stuff." "The way it's going." "I'll end up with a skinny partner and you're gonna end up with a fat angel." "How did it go?" "Well, you were right." "I never should have judged him." "I mean, that guy has been through hell and back." "He loves that little girl so much." "I mean, he'd do anything for her." " But..." " But what?" "But a lot of things." "I mean, it's not just the money for the operation." "I mean, sure, you know, that's part of it." "The man has worked so hard his whole life to save enough money, you know, to put his kids through college, to buy a home." "And this operation will wipe it all out." "But it wasn't just the money." "No." "No." "It's the fear and the pain of getting their hopes up again and then having the roof fall in." "Of having to watch their little daughter suffer through all that pain again and maybe all for nothing." "Nothing." "Jonathan, I don't know, if I was in his shoes, I could make it." "I don't know." "You couldn't if you were alone." "Nobody makes it alone." "Oh, boy." "You know what I tried to do tonight, driving home?" "Tried to use the stuff." "Yeah, I said, "All right." "I wanna see the money for that operation." "I wanna see the money for the operation." "I wanna see it right here on the front seat beside me."" "And bingo!" "Nothing." "No miracle." "It's not that easy, Mark, and it shouldn't be." "Miracles happen, don't they, Jonathan?" "Sure they do, but they're not brought about by wishing." "They're brought about by doing, by people loving and caring." "What would be the greatest miracle you could think of?" "A world at peace." "No more threats, no more war, no more hate." "And all it would take to accomplish that would be loving and caring." "But, Jonathan, how do you reach them?" "How do you get them to hear that message when all they ever hear on the news is war and killing and disaster?" "Make them hear." "Oh, that's right." "I'll just call up Tom Brokaw." "I'll call up Dan Rather and I'll say, "Hey, this is Mark Gordon." "I'd like to be on the news tonight."" "Now, what do you think they'd say to that?" "I don't know." "But this is your assignment, and you've got the stuff." "Lee, all I'm saying is, what if the money wasn't the problem?" "What if it could be gotten without touching your folks' money?" "If it could just, you know, fall out of the sky?" "Would you do it then?" "Would you have the transplant then?" "I don't know." "I'm so scared of going through all that, and then" "Honey, I know." "I know." "We're all scared." "Lee, listen to me." "You once said you wanted to make a contribution, to make your life count for something." "Now, was that just talk, or was it true?" "More than anything else." "I want it to matter that I was alive." "Then stop talking in the past tense." "You're still here." "You're not the only one around who needs money for some medical care." "You're pretty." "You're bright." "You're articulate." "And you have the ability to get people to listen to you." "You know you do." "So, what do you say we get out and try to raise some money?" "Not just for you, but for the other kids around like you?" "That's a contribution you can make." "And maybe that's a contribution that only you can make." "What do you say?" "Okay." "But how are we gonna get those people to listen to us?" "You just let me take care of that." "Excuse me, Mr. Harris?" "Yes, that's right." "Who are you?" "How did you get in here?" "I'm here about the story you're gonna run tonight." " What story?" " About a girl named Lee Bradley." "She needs a bone marrow transplant, and a lot of other kids who need money for operations too." "I don't think we're doing that story tonight." " Well, you are now." " I don't think you understand." "We've got the vice president here and we've got the town council meeting and tonight's the first segment on our three-part series on Hawaiian bikinis." "Yeah, but now you got a better idea." "Your station's gonna get behind helping these kids." "You're gonna go all the way with them." "Because you know it's right." "And it's more important than bikinis." "You can run that story anytime." "This little girl is running out of time." "Look, pal." "I know this is important to you but TV news is a business." "I mean, we're talking ratings." "I'm sorry, maybe next week." "But no chance this week." "Well, have it your way." "I didn't wanna use the stuff, but" "What stuff?" "Hey, what, are you trying to threaten me?" "Now, why don't you pick up that phone and tell Donaldson you're gonna cancel the bikini story." "Excuse me a minute." "Donaldson, please?" "Yeah, Clive Harris." "Donaldson, we're gonna postpone that bikini series tonight." "That's right, because we can run it anytime." "Now, look, don't argue with me." "Because it's the right thing to do." "Hi." "My name is Lee Bradley." "And like all of you who are watching, I'm going to die." "In my case, though, it might come a little sooner." "Like, real soon, if I don't get an operation." "There are a lot of kids like me who face operations that could save our lives." "The only problem is, these things cost money." "A lot of money." "So many times when death takes a young life, we shake our heads and we say, "It's a horrible thing, but there's nothing we can do."" "Except that there is something that people can do, and it's the easiest thing in the world." "It's giving money, a little or a lot, whatever you can afford." " Hey, keep it down a minute." " For research, treatment centres, or" "Or in this case, to the fund that we're setting up." "And as my friend Mark calls him, maybe the boss upstairs pays attention when you do something to help somebody out." "I don't know, maybe it's buying cheap brownie points in heaven." " I don't know about that." " Dinner, honey." " Wait, this girl's in my class." " What I do know is that we all share the same planet and we all lose when a young life gets cut off." "Because nobody knows the contributions that each of us can make if we only have the time." "So think about that tonight when you're home with your families and maybe hug your kids a littler closer." "Please help." " Yes." "Yes, I will." " Oh, how do you spell your name?" "Thank you." " Hello." " Thanks." "Bye-bye." "Listen, guys like you keep calling, we're gonna make it just fine." "Yeah, right." "Thanks a lot." "I know what you mean, you bet I will." "You bet." "Goodbye, thank you." "This guy owns a hamburger stand." "He's gonna donate one day's profits." "He's thinking it'll be around $500." "It's unreal." "Hey, when you got the stuff, you got the stuff." "No." "She's the one who's got the stuff, and the people who are giving." "That's the real stuff, you know?" "I know what you mean." " Three-two-six." " Oh, $25." "As I am speaking," "Lee Bradley is undergoing a bone marrow transplant that doctors say may give her a chance to live." "X-ray technician, call the emergency room." "Mom, can I have some money for a soda?" " What?" " I want a soda." "Oh, Bobby, please, just leave me alone right now, okay?" "Hey, you know where the soda machine is?" "Yeah, around that corner at the end of the hall." "Come on, I'm thirsty too." "Let's get one." "Thanks." "Not easy being the youngest sometimes, is it?" "Nobody ever pays any attention to me anymore." "Oh, I shouldn't have said that." " Why not?" " Because of God." " What's God got to do with it?" " Well, he hears everything, Mr. Smith." "Does he?" "I don't know." "That's what they said in Sunday school." "There's a lot of people he's got to listen to, don't you think?" "I don't know, you know?" "I don't even go to Sunday school anymore." "But I'm starting up again real soon." "Gonna start going to church again too." "Good." "What kind of soda you want?" "Root beer, please." "How come you're starting back at church again?" "Well, it's" "It's pretty confusing, you know?" "I mean, I believed all that stuff they said, that God always hears and he always looks after you." "Then Lee got sick and I prayed she'd get better." "But she got worse and then I didn't believe in him anymore." "Then I figured, you know, maybe she got worse because I didn't believe." "I mean, maybe I got God mad at me and that's why he's doing all this stuff to Lee." "So I made him a deal." "I said, "You let her get better and I'll go back." See?" "You really think that God would do all this to Lee just to get back at you?" "Boy, I don't think so." "That doesn't sound like God to me." "Let me tell you something, Bobby." "God loves you and your sister very, very much." "And he isn't the one who made her sick." "I wish I could believe that." "Thanks for the soda, Mr. Smith." "On the local scene, more good news about Lee Bradley, the young girl who has led a crusade in Seaview to raise money for her bone transplant and for operations for many other children in the area." "Doctors released a report today stating that all signs are good and they are awaiting the results of further tests to determine whether Lee is in remission." "Oh, what a kid, huh?" "What a fighter." "You're really proud of yourself, aren't you?" "Well, I gotta tell you, you know, I was a little nervous when I got the whole assignment and the stuff, you know?" "But, yeah, I really am proud of myself." "She couldn't have had a better angel on the job." "Yeah." "I guess I'd better check on what room she's in." "I don't see her name."
