Alan asks Jeffrey to become Alicia's godfather after Aaron had told Alan that he couldn't be it

Alan: Oh Jeffrey, I was just coming to see you. (He closes the door to his office and rushes up to JG.)
Jeffrey: Slow down, slow down. You'll hurt someone. I sound just like my old man. If you'd known him, that's just what you'd say too.
Alan: Sorry, I'm late to meet the father.
Jeffrey: My father?
Alan: No, my father.
Jeffrey: (confused) Your father's dead, so is mine. None of this makes any sense.
Alan: Father Fatima. He's performing Alicia's baptism. There's been some last minute changes...
Jeffrey: Ah, you know I never realized you were a practicing Catholic. I mean, not that it would make any difference to me you being Catholic, me being Jewish.
Alan: Jeffrey. I would like you to be Alicia's godparent.
Jeffrey: I wasn't your first choice, was I?
Alan: No.
Jeffrey: I should have known, what with you being Catholic, me being Jewish. That's... such... big differences between us.
Alan: You weren't the first choice; you are the obvious choice.
Jeffrey: Well, why didn't you think of me first? What about Aaron?
Alan: Don't ask, just answer.
Jeffrey: (whispers) I'd be honored. (smiles)
Alan: You will! Oh great! (He runs to the elevator.) All right, see you on the terrace.
Jeffrey: What happens at this shindig? I mean, nobody's speakin' in strange tongues or anything?
Alan: Noooo. Of coarse not.
Jeffrey: No flames of fire dancing on anybody's head?
Alan: No no no no. I've got to go. (He enters the elevator.)
Jeffrey: Alan, Alan. (Alicia's crying in his office.) Forget somethin'? (The elevator doors begin to close as Alan sticks his arm out to stop them.)
Alan: Oh my God! ... Oh! (He rushes to Alicia, but the door to his office is locked.) Oh no! Oh my God! OK honey! It's OK! I'm coming. (He pushes at the door.) Don't worry! Daddy's coming! Here I am! Oh my God!
(Geiger calmly punches in numbers on the phone as Birch tries to break down the door with a running start. A yelp is heard when he makes contact with the door.)

I wish that I could love you.
For now I'm seeing love
like none I've ever known

has cut into a life
I wanted left alone
A love I may regret
but one Ican't forget

TOP Transcripts:

Alan's speech to the Senate Committee investigating the experimental procedures at Chicago Hope. The day before Senator Thomason had "put down" Phillip - mostly for doing unessecary procedures (he brought up the case with the AIDS patient who got infected with malaria in order to fight the the AIDS virus). Both Phillip and Alan didn't know how to answer the Senator's accusations. After the hearing Phillip was very angry and blamed Alan for not having the right answers. He told him that in his opinion Alan had lost his touch after adopting Alicia. And that he didn't work hard enough for the hospital because taking care for her would require most of his time. Later Phillip regreted his harsh words and wanted to appoligize but Alan closed the door - leaving Phillip standing in the corridore.

Senator Thomason: I'm sorry sir, you are again please.
Alan Birch: Alan Birch, General Counsel to Chicago Hope
Senator Thomason: I see. Well um, Mr Birch this, um, forum is about talking to doctors, not to lawyers.
(Phillip watching on TV)
Phillip Watters: Get him.
Alan Birch: This forum is about medicare. That topic had nothing whatsoever to do with this morning's attack..
Senator Thomason: Well, you'll have to forgive me, but I'm not about to let you turn this into a pissing contest....
Alan Birch: How about allowing me to respond to the allegations made by you with the cameras rolling here. Now if you feel threatened, senator, we can turn the cameras off. Because I understand you might feel overmatched without the element of surprise working for you. Again, in theory, any man worthy of a run for Congress should have enough bite to stand behind his words... Even if they were supplied to him by a campaign committee.
Senator Thomason: Do you want to come at me, sir? Do you know what you're up against?
Alan Birch: Only that you're a political creature who does not know what he's talking about when it comes to how a hospital works. Not too late to kill those cameras, sir.
Senator Thomason: Oh no, the cameras are running.
Alan Birch: Good. Now let's start with some of the facts you left out this morning. Like the fact that in all the experimental procedures you cited at Chicago Hope, the patients lived and benefited. Not 80%. Not 90, not 99, but 100%. They all got better.
Senator Thomason: At what cost?
Alan Birch: At a cost more expensive than death. But you left out that Chicago Hope has the lowest mortality rate of any hospital in the state. You particularly left out that surgeons there or anywhere sometimes have to make decisions in an instant. They don't have the luxury of appointing sub committees, to debate the pros and the cons. They don't have the time to consider public opinion polls. They can't take lunch with a lobbyist before choosing what to do. Patients face imminent death, and surgeons sometimes have to improvise without waiting for (?) approval. And yes, occasionally, they resort to untried, experimental procedures, but your suggestion that it's about playing with toys, who get's to be first, who's ego wins out. That is repugnant, not only to surgeons, but also to the credibility of your office. Only thing a comment like that proves is that obviously you've never been in an OR, senator. Certainly not one at Chicago Hope.
Senator Thomason: You should get John Williams to score this match.
Alan Birch: Boy you talk about saving Medicare from bankruptcy. Your real intent is to slash its costs to balance your state and federal budget. Well I'm going to tell you something. More people die with your plan, senator. Especially the elderly. HMO's win. For profit organizations flourish. But trauma centers, emergency rooms, they get shut down. So you want to make the hospital the villain here, that's fine. But it's a government shell game, at the expense of the elderly, at the expense of the poor. And everyone in this room know it.
(Another Senator speaks up)
Other Senator: This is not a place for politics
Alan Birch: It is entirely about politics. It's about nothing but politics. You single out Chicago Hope because it's rich. You make a big public attack on a wealthy institution. Eh, cameras rolling. Let's wack at the rich. And then you just hope the poor don't realize they're the one's getting hammered here. That's who you're sticking it to.So you want my vote, senator, You check into those hospitals who deliberately overbid Medicare contracts, so they lose them, so they don't have to treat the poor at fixed rates. You check into HMO's who threaten to shut down doctor's practices, unless those doctors promise to treat patients on the cheap. You check into insurance companies who promise to provide coverage, and then deny it, 'cause of some fine print which defines a procedure as experimental. There is a lot of waste, a lot of crap, a lot of wrong for you to go after in health care. But surgeons ain't it. Easy targets, you bet, but they ain't it. So you don't get my vote, Senator Thomason. (Start's pounding on desk) Sloppy work, and YOU DON'T GET MY VOTE! (Alan stares into the eyes of the senator)

Jefferey Geiger via Tommy Wilmette

Opens in Kate's office......
Jeffrey Geiger: (on phone) I'm gettin everything ready. I'm on my way. Tell Kronk, he'll be assisting. Yeah. I want Camille for the harvest.
Tommy Wilmette: Isn't this Kate's office?
Jeffrey Geiger: (on phone still) I don't care if she's a floor nurse. (Walking out of the office in waiting corridor are) She loaned it to me. Don't tell her. Excuse me.
Tommy Wilmette: Dr. Geiger. Dr. Geiger. A moment please. Is it true she's obsessed with becoming Chief of Staff?
Jeffrey Geiger: If you're looking for me to say something negative that you can utilize in your custody battle, let me happily offer this. From what I've seen, she's not only a great doctor. But also an exemplary role model for any child. I'm sure you've scored big fudge stripes taking Sara for weekend pony rides, cotton candy lunches. But...Kate's been a mother to her every day. Maybe you should leave it like that.
Tommy Wilmette: Of course you'd be right since you're never wrong.
Jeffrey Geiger: No, I was wrong once, very briefly, for the few seconds that I thought I liked you.
Tommy Wilmette: Such wit. Must be joyous to hear your self talk. I bet you can outgab all those other little voices you hear in your dysfunctional head. What do all those voices say, "Go away," "We don't like you," "You're a pompous, egotistical, self-serving carcase of arrogance"? If so, fear not, you're not crazy. Those are real voices coming from every body who has ever met you. I'd about given up on ever being able to agree with Kate on anything, but on you, encouraged, she has got you pegged. You think if you flap your little self-storm, nobody will notice that? Well you don't say much quality-wise, but
quantity, you are spitting flatulence. (here we also missed something) Wouldn't it be nice if I could follow you around on a daily basis and learn through osmosis. I'm sure I'm could learn soo much from your ooze. Although it does redundent. See, I'm getting a little bored now. Actually, listening to you, I'm finding you less interesting as we speak. Maybe I should take out the stop watch like everybody else and see how long it takes from lift-off to melt-down.
(Pushes Geiger away who is flicking finger in front of his lips)
Jeffrey Geiger: Is this the part where I go, "He's a genius, he'll want me to surrender." Let me tell you Mr. Wilmette, Kate told me you were fabulous, but I'm extremely disappointed. It's not that I have expectations. I had none. Until you failed as a father. Keep talking Tommy, you bound to say something profound. By chance every man spits out a gem now and then. Though I'm sure yours are couched in flatulence. Why's your face getting red? You feel somebody beating you in an argument? Somebody's outyapping Tommy Wilmette? I'm shocked. How could that happen with you having two sides of your mouth to talk out of? I'm sitting here trying to figure out how a guy with a 30 million dollar bank account can still be alone in a material world such as ours, where wealth is considered some kind of measure of a person's value. You must have some pretty negative characteristics to have such a bank account, huh? Man, let me see if i can imagine some of them....Vanity, lack of conscience, dishonesty, untrustworthy. (here we missed somthing)Yeah! Yap, Yap, Yap (Jeffrey's thriumph)
(flicking finger in front of Tommy Wilmette's lips, Tommy pushes him away from him).
Jeffrey Geiger: I win. I'd go two out of three, but I got surgery.
While leaving he seas Diane and Dennis in the corridor who are looking amused and astonished. Jeffrey gives Diane a little hug and passes by - leaving a speechlees Tommy back in the corridor.

TOP Summary:

McNeil takes Shutt for a game of "speed golf" early one morning. McNeil enjoys the exhilarating spot, but his partner is less than thrilled. During the game, Shutt announces he has decided to leave Chicago Hope for a teaching position at Harvard. Back at the hospital, Austin tells Shutt that she has accepted the position of Medical Director at the Orlando Women's Clinic. Later, Watters takes Shutt to task for bailing out on his colleagues — people who have worked very hard to keep the hospital afloat. Shutt responds that he needs a new challenge. The acrimony between the pair builds until Watters fires Shutt. Not to be outdone, Shutt announces his resignation. While standing in line at a crowded mini-mart, Shutt complains of a pounding headache. His condition is aggravated by the incessant tinkling of a player piano located in the corner of the store. Losing control, Shutt rips the power cord from the wall, silencing the music. Suddenly, he grabs his head, screams, and falls to his knees. Paramedics transport Shutt to Chicago Hope. Drifting in and out of consciousness, Shutt begins hallucinating. In his mind, he imagines the hospital staff lip-synching to a variety of classic tunes. Tests reveal the presence of an aneurysm somewhere in Shutt's body, but surgeons debate the proper course of action. As Shutt continues to hallucinate, he imagines himself, and an entire surgical team, operating on a patient whose face cannot be seen. Meanwhile, Austin discovers that the aneurysm is located in Shutt's brain. Watters contacts Dr. Denise Potter, who is considered the world's premier aneurysm surgeon. As Shutt again loses consciousness, he imagines a meeting between himself and a singing, piano-playing Jeffrey Geiger. Doctors are somewhat intimidated when Dr. Denise Potter finally arrives at the hospital. Young, attractive, and smart, it is difficult for the other surgeons to believe Potter is the best in her field. After viewing x-rays of Shutt's brain, Potter opts to perform surgery. As the real procedure gets underway, Shutt imagines himself operating on the anonymous patient. In his mind, Shutt laments that he has destroyed his relationships, career and marriage, and feels as if his life is completely out of control. He tells Geiger he is jealous of his emotional freedom...of the pain exorcised through his singing. Geiger then encourages Shutt to sing. Potter locates a portion of the aneurysm, but, in an extremely risky procedure, must feel her way to the neck of the blockage. Potter warns that if the procedure last too long, it could trigger brain damage. The operation does not go smoothly; Shutt's colleagues, watching from the observatory, offer their prayers. Inside the hallucinatory operating room, Shutt pulls back the drape covering the patient's face. The man is none other than himself. Dead. Shutt finds himself in heaven, where Geiger plucks stars from the sky and polishes them. During their conversation, Shutt realizes he isn't Jeffrey Geiger...and also realizes it isn't too late for him to turn his life around. Meanwhile, Potter successfully locates the aneurysm inside Shutt's brain. But the operation took some twenty-two minutes..long enough to cause brain damage.

TOP Facts:

The piano in the minibar at the gas station plays When the red red robin comes bob bob bobbing along. When Aaron is brought to the ER Keith and Dennis lipsynch Dean Martin's version Ain't that a kick in the head.
(Note in between: A nurse is handing Keith a glass of whiskey and he salutes to Aaron - in every Dean Martin show one of the girls around handed him a whiskey).
Then Kate, Billy, Diane and Phillip as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons with Walk like a man. With Kate in the lead (and Diane, Billy and Phillip as background singers) this is very interesting:

"Oh, how you tried to cut me down to size
tellin' dirty lies to my friends
But my own father said "Give her up, don't bother
the world isn't coming to an end"
He said
Chorus:
Walk like a man, talk like a man
walk like a man my son
no woman's worth crawling' on the earth
So walk like a man, my son...."

Later when Aaron is in bed he hears a piano playing and gets up to find out about it: It's the same ragtime song: When the red red robin comes bob bob bobbing along...(voice from the off: Mandy Patinkin) And when the line: ...wake up you sleepy head... occurs Aaron says: "Jeffrey" as the man on the piano turns around he realizes that it is Jack who turns into Mandy after a few moments: "Where have you been Aaron ?" and Aaron faints away...

When Phillip and Dennis bring Aaron back to the intensive care he has another hallucination: Maricella lipsynchs "Brand new key" (Melanie)

"I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller-skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone, but you got something I need
Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and try them out you see"

One of the best choices in my opinion is Phillip's lipsynch version „You and me against the world" (Helen Reddy). Even if I would suggest that Hector Elizondo would have been able to sing that song by himself !

"You and me against the world
sometimes it feels like
you and me against the world
when all the others turn their backs
and walk away
you can count on me to stay"....

Then in the OR Aaron hears the team (Keith, Kate, Billy, Diane, Jack and Dennis) singing: „Going out of my head" (The Lettermans)

"Well I think I'm going out of my head.
Yes I think I'm going out of my head
over you, over you
I want you to want me
I need you so badly,
I can't think of anything but you
And I think I'm going out of my head.
'Cause I can't explain the tears that I shed
over you, over you
I see you each morning;
But you just walk past me
you don't even know that I exist".....

And a highlight in the show is Mandy Patinkin's interpretation of „I'll be there". (The Jacksons)

"You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love
I'll be there
I'll reach out my hand to you
I'll have faith in all you do
Just call my name
And I'll be there
And oh, I'll be there to comfort you".....

The conversation between Aaron and Jeffrey over his jealousy about Jeffrey's singing leads to Aaron's song (Adam Arkin sings himself) „Luck be a lady" (from the musical Guys and Dolls) with the „Guys": Dennis, Jack and Phillip (the actors really seem to enjoy themselves)

In the last sequence of the show when Aaron sings: „When I'm on my journey, don't you weep after me"... (This song was performed by Aaron when he was a kid and this particular record was used) He discusses with Jeffrey his life and decides to come back to it, you can see scenes from Aaron's life to Jimi Hendrix version of: „All along the watchtower".

"There must be some way out of here,"
said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion,
I can't get no relief
Businessmen they drink my wine,
plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth".....

(By the way this song was written by Bob Dylan but Jimi Hendrix version of it got more famous !)

Detailed summary

Newly appointed hospital chairman Jeffrey Geiger returns to Chicago Hope to fire half the senior doctors and to convince Watters to return as chief of staff. The deposed (led by Austin) hire Jonathan Saunders to get their jobs back. Aaron teams with outside neurologist Gina Simon to operate on an infant with a brain tumor.

Kronk, Catera, Hancock, Yeats and Austin and keep Drs. Watters, McNeil, Wilkes and Shutt. Dr. Grad quits in protest. The outraged doctors sue Geiger and try to force him to reinstate them as part of a wrongful termination suit. Meanwhile, a young cardio surgeon just hired by Dr. Austin, arrives at Chicago Hope to learn that her new boss has been fired.

"You Gotta Have a Heart"

Teleplay:
Directed By: Tim Hunter

TOP Summary:

A little baby is rushed to the ER because she can't breathe. The mother, Mrs. McKinnon, tells them she's encephalic--the baby has no skull. Aaron tells Phillip that the baby can't possibly breathe on her own. They tell the mother the baby is legally dead--although most of her organs are working she has no brain function. Phillip decides to admit the baby. Thurmond needs the encephalic's kidneys, and Angela informs Phillip Karen Antonovich is coming back to use the encephalic's heart for a transplant. Angela puts the encephalic on the donor list.

Mrs. McKinnon won't allow her baby's organs to be used so Jeffrey and Karen do a surgery on the Wheeler baby that will buy him some time, but he still needs a transplant. Mrs. McKinnon tells Phillip the father is not involved. He tried to make her have an abortion. Karen and Aaron go out to dinner and talk about how they tell parents their children have died. Karen admits she wants the encephalic to die so her patient can have its heart. Aaron reminds her it is dead. Back at the hospital Karen gives him a little peck which really unnerves Aaron. Jeffrey approaches Mrs. McKinnon again about organ donation. She won't do it. Aaron tells Jeffrey he might "like" Karen.

Phillip won't kill the encephalic but Jeffrey tells him it already is dead! He accuses him of bringing religion into it. They can save the Wheeler baby, buy not the encephalic. Camille sees something between Aaron and Karen. Thurmond tells Phillip to "grow the hell up". Religion has no place in medicine. Karen tells Aaron they could forget the whole thing even happened, but that would be very hard for her. "For me too," Aaron admits. They kiss. Jeffrey can't believe God would create such a thing as the encephalic. He'll stick with science. "Because God wasn't there for your son", Camille asks. "It's not about that," Jeffrey says. "With you everything is about that," Camille counters quietly.

Phillip finds Mrs. McKinnon in the chapel, and tells her everything that's wrong with her baby. She will die soon anyway. Her soul is not in her body--her soul is in Heaven now. It's time to give her peace. Mrs. McKinnon reluctantly OKs it.

The Wheelers thank Mrs. McKinnon as they wait anxiously during the surgery, which goes well. Christopher Wheeler will be fine. Jeffrey tells Aaron he finally realizes Joey's purpose--to let him love him. And he did, so much that he couldn't let God take him. He's still not over it. Phillip goes to church for confession--it's been four years.

TOP Quotes:

AARON: Let's go home. We won't do anyone any good if we don't get some sleep.
JEFFREY: I won't sleep with you.
AARON: Well I suspected not.

Geiger to Shutt:
"Think I'm certifiable Aaron? Sometimes I wonder if you really even like me. Sometimes I think you've been assigned to me to keep me sane. Executive Committee tells you to hold my hand."
Shutt's response: "That's exactly right."

TOP Transcripts:

Jeffrey to Karen Antonovich while they are operating:

Jeffrey: You know Doc, if you're gonna be here awhile, I should warn you. I'm prone to sexual harassment. I throw out the warning 'cause the Eel says: Assumption of the risk could be a defense. I could be wrong, but you strike me as an ice maiden, for when she thaws, drips lava.
Karen: Suck here.
Jeffrey: Absolutely.
Camille: God Jeffrey, grow up.
