Return to Me

- It's a shame we gotta put roofs on 'em. - Yeah, yeah.

All right, Bill, I'm goin' home, see you, buddy.

So long, Bob.

See you, Big Mike.

- Hey, Bob, have fun tonight, okay! - As always!

So this is what I'm gonna say... I'm gonna get up on the podium, uh-huh,

and I'm gonna address the audience,

I'm gonna say, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."

"Tonight I'm speaking on behalf of my friend Sydney..."

And, um... Sydney! Sydney! I'm really nervous.

- But do you care? - Liz?

I knew I'd find you here.

Hey, Sydney, how you doin', brother?

Listen, I need your signature here so I can change the polar bear's diet.

And you know, it's already five.

I'll check in on the calf, you just go home and get ready, Okay?

Thanks, Char. Bob's picking up my dress, I have

stockings, I have to take Mel to the park for a quick run,

- my hair and makeup, God, I'm so nervous! - You're gonna be fine.

Now what's the worst that could happen?

You forget your speech and we don't get any donations.

- Don't even say that. - Just kiddin'.

Oh, look at him, Charlie. We'd go nuts in a place this small.

I know. But we're workin' on it.

Wish me luck, Sydney.

He only does that with you.

- Who are you bringing tonight? - Haven't decided. Still got two hours.

Don't shake, don't shake!

No, no, no, no! C'mon!

Oh, wet dog. Come on, let's do it. Wet doggie!

Wet doggie!

You're a good boy! Boy, you hungry, you hungry? Let's eat!

Here! Let's go, Mel, she'll be home any minute.

Come on! Come on and eat! Let's eat!

Ooh, this looks good! Mmm!

C'mon, come get it!

You got some dinner. Come on! Come on!

Dinner! Come on!

All right, she'll be home in a minute.

- Oh, hi, my baby! - Hey, babe.

Ah, hey, Honey! It's pouring out.

Did you get my dress?

Yeah, yeah, picked up your dress from the cleaners.

We're on schedule, everything's gonna be fine, you'll be great.

Mel, I'm so nervous, it's not funny.

Hey, I took Mel out.

- In your tux? - Yeah.

Honey, your pants are soaked.

- Tell Mel to eat. - Mel, eat! Go on!

You are cute!

Spend all day with an ape, what do you expect?

Under our care at Lincoln Park Zoo,

Sydney has regained his strength and maintained his excellent health.

Over the years Sydney has become a part of the family.

Here he is with my husband.

My husband's the one on the right.

With the generous donations we've received here tonight,

along with continued fund raising, of course, hint hint,

I hope, "we hope" to expand the gorilla habitat to triple its size.

Thank you all for your tremendous support, and enjoy the evening.

Elizabeth Rueland. Thank you, Dr. Rueland.

Let's hear it for the doctor.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Joey Gian!

Thank you very much and good evening.

And speaking of animals, the band and I worked up a little something special for you.

So let's get this party started.

"What do you expect most from a relationship?"

"A) Companionship, B) Sex or C) Respect?"

I'd go with B, sex, but let's put C so we get a higher score. What do you think?

I think... I...

What is it? What do you need? Is it your neck?

Here, I'll move the pillow. I'm sorry.

Your back? I can raise you up.

Rosebud.

Very funny. You almost gave me a heart attack, if you'll excuse the expression.

Meg, you can go home, ya know.

To what? My cable's out.

Joe and the kids.

They're okay.

It's good for him to be with them when they're comin' down from the sugar.

He usually fuels 'em up and then they go through detox on my shift.

Well, you've seen it!

Promise me you'll take care of my grandpa.

Now what's got you talkin' like that?

I may never get a heart, you know.

I know you'll get one, I know.

You'll be able to do so many things you were never able to do that's...

what you gotta concentrate on.

Just think about it, Grace, picture ridin' a bike.

Yeah, ridin' a bike.

That's what you need to think about. And traveling, and painting in Europe

and dating really handsome men! That I know! It's gotta happen to one of us.

I'm getting a new heart, not a new ass.

Bob!

Bob, Bob... Bob Rueland!

Mr. Bennington. I didn't see you or I would have stopped and said hello.

Elizabeth's speech was wonderful.

Wasn't it wonderful? I'll go tell her that...

I suppose... I suppose she told you about our sizable donation?

- My Missus. - Mrs. Bennington?

My wife... gave, you know... strictly anonymously.

Of course. Very generous, as always.

I'm just gonna let Elizabeth know.

We also gave quite a chunk to the rainforest gimmick.

And, you know, then, before I know it, I was on a safari, Bob!

Can you imagine me on safari, Bob?

- No, I cannot. - Huh!

I was, I... me and the Missus, hackin' through the bush,

- what do ya think? - Hey! Charlie!

- Hey, Bob! - You know Mr. Bennington!

- Mr. Bennington! - Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Charlie, Charlie, did you hear about my sizable donation?

The anonymous one. Yes, I have.

She loves this song.

- Apparently. - We don't want keep you, so let's...

Oh! No, no! Stay, I'm gonna run and put on a little bit more lipstick.

Is that possible?

- I'm gonna go with you, c'mon! - To the ladies' room? Silly!

Charlie, you got some big news here for Mr. B, don't you?

- No! - Mr. B...

- Charlie's got big news for you. - Yes.

- Yes, what news, Charlie? - I don't know, what are you...

You know, it's because of that sizable donation,

Charlie's puttin' up a picture of you in the monkey house.

- Isn't that wonderful? - Oh! Charlie,

- I'm deeply touched! - It's a great honor.

Ya know, it's not official, and I still do have to run it by a couple guys.

- But I can do that right now. - Well, you two obviously... no, no, no,

you have a lot to discuss, so why don't you just stay and do that...?

Listen, listen, Charlie, would you ever consider...

A mural, maybe?

A mural.

We love it there. My mother's family is from Tuscany so it's like going home.

That's so sweet.

You have to come out some time.

Our place is right at the edge of the most magnificent vineyard.

Ah, everything's at the edge of a vineyard, it's Tuscany.

Mrs. Rueland.

- Mrs. Rueland. - Hey, stranger.

Um... honey, you remember Celia and Tony.

We were just telling Elizabeth about our place in Italy.

We were supposed to go to Italy on our honeymoon.

Yeah, but we didn't think Sydney would tolerate the flight.

I promise you we'll go to Italy... eventually.

Oh, that's big. If that's a promise, I'll take that.

- Good. - Where are you vacationing this year?

We're gonna go to one of those water theme parks for the weekend.

That'll be nice.

It's a joke, Celia.

I... I promised my wife that we'd dance tonight, Tony, so if you'll excuse us...

- Certainly. - It was wonderful to see you both.

- See you later. - Well, good night.

You know, it's just a little crowded out here

right now, let's wait for the next song.

So really... how was I?

You were perfect. Absolutely perfect. And with the backlighting, I tell you,

I could see right through your dress.

No, you were wonderful. Really. Really wonderful. I'm so proud of you.

Ooh, don't be too proud.

Poor Sydney's still stuck in that small space.

Yeah, I'll tell you what,

if you promise you'll take time off for a trip to Italy with me...

And I promise to build Sydney a new home, with or without the rest of the funding.

Deal.

Come on, you can stand on my feet.

We got a female, 34, car accident. Hit on the right side.

Head trauma, unconscious at the scene, never regained.

Call neural surgery, get Westfall into scrub.

- Done! Does she have any allergies? - Name?

Sir, Her name? Sir, Her name?!?

- Sir? - Eli-Elizabeth Rueland.

Sorry, Sir, sorry, Sir, you can't go in.

Sorry, you're going to have to wait here.

We're going to try to help.

All right, Angelo, andiamo, now,

- get that while it's hot, will you. - I got it, Marty, I got it.

- Aah, I said I'd get it myself. - All right, suit yourself, baby.

Now, where, where, where's Sophie?

Sophie got a perm today.

Her scalp is still burning, she went home early.

Oh, of course she did. Why did I ask?

Will you go find yourself a gondola?
