The Dentist 2: Brace Yourself (1998) Movie Script
Open wide, Brooke.
Wider.
You know I don't want you anymore.
I didn't, I didn't do that.
A stranger.
A stranger, doctor?
I can remember those awful things I
did, but for the life of me, doctor,
I don't know the man who did them.
This stranger, this evil
Dr. Feinstone, where is he now?
Gone. Consumed by the
rage that spawned him.
By that, you mean it's over?
You've put your anger at your
wife's infidelity behind you?
No, doctor, it is not
over. It will never be over.
Every second of every day,
asleep or awake,
I see her face in the
faces of all of my victims.
You refer to them as your victims,
even though you say you don't
know the stranger who hurt them.
He is me.
lam him.
Still, he remains.
Until love returns, the soft
whisper of his voice,
searching, wanting,
that which he hath given with no reply.
He is gone?
He is under control. Shall we go?
Dr. Alec Feinstone, the
notorious psycho dentist,
broke out of the state mental
facility at lndio yesterday afternoon.
His hostage, psychiatrist
Dr. Genevieve Cussler...
You think before the doc went postal,
he was salting money
away from you and the IRS?
From you, God, his devoted wife
and helpmate? Excuse my bad manners,
but did he do that to
you? Cut your tongue out?
What a world, huh?
These are all his, huh? Souvenirs
from a trip he took as a kid.
South Dakota.
Nebraska.
Missouri. Missouri. Yeah.
Jeez, you look at these snow domes.
Set of safety deposit box keys.
The answer's in the postcards, huh?
All right.
They found the shrink's
car abandoned in Flagstaff.
Along with the 700 or so
bucks from her wallet, jeez,
he could be just about anywhere.
Bye now. Thank you.
Hey.
Hi, Mr. Wilkes?
Well, I'll be. Larry Caine, come on in.
How the hell long has
it been, five years?
God, it's good to see you. To
what do we owe this great pleasure?
Rush hour traffic.
Does that come with an explanation?
Well, my car overheated on the Alexandria
bridge. It was the morning rush hour.
That was it. I couldn't face another
yawing mouth, another bicuspid,
and I was weary of my life, of the city,
and the moral decay that
passes as sophistication.
Felt like that myself some clays.
I left my car right there on the bridge,
I walked home, I called my lawyer,
and long story short, here I am. Small
town, honest people, clean living,
but I got me a little
problem, old buddy.
Yeah, Jeremy?
Say, Bev, see if you can get Harry
and his drill over here toot sweet.
Dr. Caine has lost the key
to his safety deposit box.
All right)!-
Well, it's a little
irregular, but here it is.
Thanks.
What are your plans, Larry?
Oh, to live in Paradise.
Oh, great golf just outside of town.
Eh, I detest golf.
Eh, we'll change that.
Where you staying?
Paradise Motel.
The hell you are.
Ah, yes.
Jamie?
Jamie, have you rented the cottage?
No, not yet.
There's someone I want you
to meet. Come with me.
Larry?
Yeah, right with you.
Jamie Devers, Dr. Lawrence Caine.
Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
Yes, Jeremy tells me that
you're his favorite niece.
I'm his only niece.
Larry's just moved here to
Paradise, lock, stock and barrel,
from that eastern den of
inequity, Washington, D.C.
Actually, I left the lock,
stock and barrel behind.
You've got the empty cottage.
I thought maybe you could
show it to Larry during lunch.
It's really small.
Well, it's just me.
This was my parents' house.
It's where I grew up,
and there's the cottage.
I'll take it.
No. No.
You having trouble sleeping, doc?
I sure would if I were you.
Go away. Go away.
When it comes right down to
it, a Caine is just a Feinstone,
and we all know what a
Feinstone is, don't we?
Do it. Do it.
Yes, bleed.
Hello?
Larry?
Larry?
I came running over.
I was worried. It was...
I came running over here
because I heard this loud noise.
I didn't know what to think.
Unfamiliar surroundings, and I
must have bumped into the dresser
on my way to the bathroom,
and I can replace it.
Don't worry about it.
I can make another one.
You made it?
- Yeah.
Here. Let me, let me do that.
- You sure?
Yeah.
A little housework always relaxes me.
Do you do windows?
As a matter of fact, I do.
Good. I think we're going
to get along just fine, then.
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
In town, the, I think it's called
the Paradise Caf, is it any good?
After graduate school in
Seattle and a few lost years
contemplating the meaning of art in a
world that was consumed by commercialism,
I came to the realization that actually
creating my pottery was more important
than thinking about it, and
so, here I am, back in Paradise,
bank teller by day, artist by night.
Chicken fried steak for the
gentleman. Spinach salad for Jamie.
No wonder you stay so thin, darling.
Anything else?
Something wrong, sir?
No, no. I was, I was just
contemplating a side of curly fries.
I've decided against it, thank you.
Well, enjoy your dinner, folks.
Thanks.
You're fleeing reality
in search of a dream,
and I'm fleeing a dream
in search of reality.
What dream are you fleeing from?
My wife was a former Mrs. Maryland,
thus we were the perfect couple
for the perfect dinner party.
You fled from that?
Did I mention that the former Mrs. Maryland
was attending other parties without me,
in the afternoons, thrown
by the younger male members
of the foreign diplomatic
corps? Yet, still, he remains.
Until love returns, the
soft whisper of his voice
Wanting, searching, that which
he has given without return.
To Paradise.
May we both find here
what we're looking for.
Larry, you okay?
Larry, what's wrong?
I lost a cap.
Look, one of my caps has come loose.
We didn't put that in.
Yes, I know, but I'd like the
doctor to re-cement it, please.
Fill this out.
Don't do it.
Don't. Don't do it.
Oh, God.
Oh, that's good.
Send in the next patient,
please. Please have a seat.
This won't hurt a bit.
You ever been drilled on
before? Would you like some gas?
Open wide. Wider.
You have to stop moving. If
you move, I cannot proceed.
Why are you moving? Why
is everything moving?
Please, sit down. Sit still.
You're moving. Everything is moving.
You've got to sit still. Please.
Somebody.
Doctor's office. Oh, no, Mrs. Sanderson,
put him in for when? Friday, 10:00 AM.
Oh, how's Harold?
Oh, sorry to hear that.
Hope he feels better soon.
All right. We'll see you Friday. Bye.
Hey.
What are you doing with my patient?
Remove this cotton from your
mouth, ma'am, so you don't choke.
What's going on here? What, my...
Here, relax a minute, dear,
while I just take this out.
Oh, Bernice, look after Edna there.
Who the hell do you think you are?
That woman was in respiratory distress.
Respiratory distress?
...doctor... traveling the country,
saving poor souls from
respiratory distress?
I am a dentist.
Well, then, you should know
better than to be poking around
in another dentist's business.
Yeah. Are you going to wash
your hands? How bout some gloves?
Bernice, would you
bring me a box of gloves?
I'd appreciate it if you'd sterilize
your instruments one more time.
Anything else, doctor? Perhaps the
equipment is too old for your liking,
or maybe you miss the music? That it?
You like a little elevator
music with your dentistry?
How bout some Lysol under the cabinets?
Yeah, yeah.
You sure you want me to put in your cap?
You're the only game in town.
Yes, I am.
Okay. Open UP-
There we go.
This is a country practice, doctor.
Granted, it's plain and simple,
but the folks around here seem to like it
just fine, so I'd be obliged, city boy,
if you'd keep your opinions to yourself,
and your fingers out
of my patients' mouths.
God.
Asshole.
Cretin.
Burns.
Burns.
You ain't competent, buffoon.
What are you doing here?
Look at this.
What'd you use, library
paste? You call yourself a dentist?
You stay away from me. Bernice. Bernice.
Oh, Bernice is out to
lunch, more ways than one.
Fill them, fill them, fill them.
That's your philosophy, huh? You
know, you and your ilk, Dr. Burns,
have made dentists the
boogeymen of medicine,
something to be feared,
to be avoided at all costs.
I've worked my entire
career to change all that.
You see, a trip to the dentist should be
pleasant, something to look forward to.
That is, of course, if the
dentist in question is competent.
It's not the cap. You're a fruitcake.
Funny you should mention that.
You're scaring me.
I'm trying to. Now, repeat after me.
"L am an incompetent dentist." Say it.
I am an incompetent dentist.
Now, "I..."
- I...
"Am..."
- Am...
"A..."
- A...
"Boogeyman."
I can deal with this.
Your call is being answered by a
machine. Please leave a message.
Love and kisses from your favorite private
eye. I'm in Grand Junction, Colorado.
No luck so far. Next stop
is North Platte, Nebraska.
UP With people!
Ciao, baby.
Too bad about Doc Burns, isn't it?
Yes. Yes, it is.
Too bad for Paradise.
The answer is no, Jeremy.
Didn't get where I am by
accepting no for an answer.
Hey, buddy, I have a responsibility.
What kind of town would
this be without a dentist?
You won't even consider it?
- No.
Eh, just til we find somebody.
What part of no don't
you understand, Jeremy?
I did not give up a lucrative
practice in Washington
to start from scratch somewhere else.
A sweet deal for somebody. House,
practice, everything for a song.
Promise me you'll at
least think it over.
Afternoon, doctor.
Let me show you around.
Ask me, a little spackle, fresh coat
of paint, maybe some new carpeting,
you've got yourself one
fine little office here.
Come on in, city boy.
I'm going to Dr. Caine
Feinstone the bitch.
No. No. No. No.
Hey.
You're home early.
I wasn't feeling well.
What's wrong?
Little toothache. It's nothing.
I have an appointment Saturday
with Dr. Davis over in Otis.
70 miles away.
May I look at it?
All right.
All right. You want to open for me?
Feinstone her, Dr. Caine
Feinstone the bitch.
Are you okay, Larry?
I'm fine. Just open, open wide, Jamie.
Sensitive?
All right.
It's nothing serious. You just have a,
you have a small cavity
right at the gumline,
and I think that it's
best if we fill it.
Is it going to hurt?
Shouldn't.
Want to open wide?
All right, turn your
head a little this way.
Okay.
That's it? I didn't even feel it.
You're not supposed to.
Are you okay, Larry?
I'm going to have to change this bur.
Fehstone her, Dr. Came.
Feinstone the bitch.
I am not crazy. I am
not going to hurt her.
Is there anything wrong?
No, no, I'm fine. I'm just cleaning
the instruments. Be right with you.
Why's it so scary to
come to the dentist?
Doesn't have to be.
All right.
I will have you fixed up in no time.
Ready?
I did it. I did it.
I'm a dentist. I am the best
damn dentist there ever was.
Well, are you excited?
Excited? Yes, I think I am.
Well, the people of
Paradise thank you, Larry.
Lawrence.
Hey, hey, picture time.
Oh, yeah.
Jeremy. No, I just want Larry in front
of the sign. He's the man of the hour.
Boo.
You know, I could fix that.
Oh, I'm used to it.
Whenever you're ready.
Jamie, let me show you the house.
- Okay.
Now, I haven't really
changed the structure.
I mean, the layout is pretty much
the same. That's what I don't want.
Wow. This is nice.
You've done wonders.
I believe a harmonious environment
is essential to the dental experience.
Well, this one is just perfect.
Perfect? Oh, not quite.
I'm reserving that for the
operatory that I'm creating upstairs.
Coming up. Watch the back.
Well, I can't wait to see it.
You'll be the first.
Ah, well, my first patient.
You look really nice.
All right. See you.
- Okay.
Just a small country practice. I
think I'm going to like it here.
I've got a feeling he's going
to be real good for this town.
Hello?
Hi, Jamie. You still hard at work?
Well, I'm about ready to quit for
the night. How's the filing coming?
Well, at this rate, I should be
done somewhere around the millennium.
That bad?
Worse. Anyway, I just called to say hi.
Hi.
Hi. I'll talk to you tomorrow, huh?
Okay.
- Bye bye. - Bye-
Dr. Came'?
- Yes.
Oh, am I glad to see you. The cab jockey
thought you might be working late.
I thought I'd give it a shot.
My damn tooth is killing me.
Come in.
Oh, you're a ha of
Tamer, doc, a ha of iamer.
Do you think when we're finished,
you could give me a ride to the bus
stop? I've got to catch the 10:40 to KC.
A ride? I am a dentist,
not a cab jockey.
You know, the motel guy said the
only dentist in town was dead.
I had to track you down. You're
kind of flying under the radar, doc.
Kind of like stealth dentist.
Well, sir, you found me.
I guess tonight's my lucky night.
Well, we'll see.
You know, I'm from the left coast, L.A.
Lala land. Swimming pools, movie stars,
boob jobs. I'm on way way to KC.
I'm thinking about doing a
little real estate speculating.
My rental car broke down, and
they started to hassle me about it.
I told them to shove it. You
know, I'll just take the bus.
Have you ever been to L.A.,
doc? Have we ever met before?
God, I swear, you look familiar.
Better open your mouth,
sir. You have a bus to catch.
I'm terrible with names,
but I never forget a face.
Hold still.
Doc, that hurts like a bitch.
You're not going in there dry,
are you, doc? I mean,
I'm not anti-narcotics.
I'll administer an anesthetic.
Good. Hey, you know, just last year,
I picked out a guy at Dodger
Stadium two sections over.
I knew I knew this guy from somewhere,
but I just didn't know where,
and then it hit me. St. Paul, 1983,
footwear expo, floor shine booth.
I went over and checked
it out. It was him.
I never forget a face.
Have you ever been at Dodger Stadium, doc?
No, that's not it, but don't tell me.
Don't tell me. It's coming. You're
definitely southern California.
I detest baseball.
I'm never wrong, doc.
- Could you please sit still?
Have you ever been to L.A. doc? I swear
you look familiar. Never forget a face.
Oh, I'm never wrong, doc, never.
You're definitely southern California.
You did that on purpose.
I know you.
Fishbein, or Feinbein.
Feinberg, the crazy dentist.
Sir, sit back down. I cannot
leave that tooth untreated.
I took an oath.
Get out of the doorway, nutball.
This crazy dentist of
yours, this Feinstone,
would he get out of the doorway?
I'm sorry, man. I got to go.
You still want that ride?
No. No, I'm a walker.
Ah, you just couldn't have your
toothache someplace else, could you?
Insane, deranged, demented, psychotic,
nuts, nutso, nutcase, nutball, loco,
loony, apeshit, whacko.
Oh, I didn't want to do
it. I didn't want to do it.
I tried not to. I tried not to do it.
Okay. Okay. I'm going to make this work.
I am going to make this work. I
will make this work. I am in control.
I am in control. I am not crazy.
I am not crazy. I am not insane.
I am not a monster.
Hello, there. It's
me. Hey, how you doing?
I'll betcha you'll never guess where
I'm off to next. Paradise, Missouri.
Paradise, can you
believe it? See you later.
Back off, Bev.
I know. I just can't get
this image out of my head.
I keep imagining you in this canoe
with this handsome, mysterious stranger,
rushing down a raging river,
waterfalls, boulders, whitewater,
and he's the only one
with a life preserver.
You're an alarmist.
No, I prefer to see myself as a cynic,
and the cynic in me says that the...
Hey-
- Hey-
Hey, Jamie, how are you?
- I haven't seen you in a week.
Yeah, I got a job over in Otis.
I was staying with my cousin.
L got to go-
Bye.
I hear you rented your
cottage to the new dentist.
Mm-hmm, Dr. Came.
What do you think of him?
He's nice.
Hey, I'm scheduled to do
some work in his office.
He's not coming between us, is he?
No. Oh, God, Robbie, you're not
going to propose again, are you?
Jamie Devers, will you marry me?
No.
No? Why?
Because I like you too much.
No, not again.
Enjoy your blueberry pie, sir.
- Ah, blueberry.
You got a minute, sweetheart?
I can give you a second.
Just figured you were the type
that would help out a fellow
human being, that's all.
Give me a break.
I saw a guy in town today who
looked like an old army buddy.
Maybe you could help me track him down.
I'm staying right at the edge of town,
in the Sleep Easy Motel, if you
Hey, Bev, there's a little
guy at the end of the counter,
seems real interested in Doc Caine,
asking all sorts of questions.
Thinks he knows him from the
service or something, from L.A.
What little guy?
You'd be surprised how
people neglect their teeth.
If everybody were only as diligent as
you, Margaret. Some people never learn.
Oh, I'm sorry. Jeremy
needs you to sign these.
Hi, Jamie. I'll be done with
Margaret in just a moment.
Hey, Margaret.
- Hey.
I saw you earlier.
Where?
Oh, in town, by the caf, with some guy.
Robbie?
Robbie, is that his name? Robbie, well,
you didn't tell me about Robbie, did you?
There's nothing to tell.
There's nothing to tell.
That's not what it looked
like from where I was sitting.
He a good kisser?
Did you see the part when he was
on bended knee proposing to me?
Proposing?
Yeah, it's a joke. I mean,
he does this every month.
He proposes every month. It's a joke.
Spit, Margaret.
Robbie is one of my
oldest and dearest friends.
I mean, I've known him
since I was in third grade.
Little kids, babies.
Friends. I mean, that's all it
is. That's all it ever will be.
Friends'?
Friends.
Just friends?
Oh, God.
Excuse me. Hello? Yeah, I'm with
a patient, could you please
Would you stop?
Hey. Hey, hey.
Hey. Hey. I'm with a patient right now,
if you could just give
me 15 minutes or so.
Yeah, in case you
haven't put it together,
I'm the jerk who cut you off the other
day in town, and anyway, I'm sorry.
Hey, no problem, man. I'm Robbie
Mauro. I'm your drywall guy.
Aren't you living in Jamie's cottage?
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
She's spoken of you.
Yeah?
About how you've been friends
since you were children.
I've been in love with
Jamie since the third grade.
Third grade, huh? How about Jamie?
Oh, she's in love with me,
she just doesn't know it.
Oh! yeah?
I'm terribly sorry. I
didn't know it was loaded.
Gotcha.
He doesn't exist.
What are you talking about?
Larry Caine. He has no credit
history. I checked and rechecked.
The man is a blank. He was somebody
else before he came to Paradise.
Bev, this is nonsense.
No, no, there was a guy at the cafe.
He said he was sure he knew him from
Los Angeles, Jeremy, not Washington.
Larry Caine is a valued customer of
our bank, and an asset to our town.
I think you've been reading
too many murder mysteries, Bev.
Well, he could be one of
those Medicare fraud doctors
you see ducking behind
doors on 60 Minutes.
Thank you, Bev.
Dammit, Jeremy, he could be
married with a wife and kids.
Thank you, Mrs. Walls.
Bank of Paradise, this is Jamie.
Jamie, hi.
- Hi.
Listen, I'm standing outside
the office on the grounds here,
and I've been thinking
about you all day,
and I was hoping you'd do me the
honor ofjoining me for dinner tonight
at the most exclusive
restaurant in town.
No, not the Paradise Caf.
Something much better than that.
Hi.
- Hi.
You look great.
- You, too.
I love my dress, but
how did you know my size?
Perfect only comes in one size.
Where are we going?
Oh, Larry, I just love
what you've done out here.
Under the stars, in the dark of night,
silence the... and give love its flight.
Stay. Stay right here.
Don't move.
I should put these in water.
They'll keep.
No, they won't.
I'll bring you more tomorrow.
I want these.
Don't answer that.
Answer what?
Hey, Jamie. I guess you're
not in. Look, my cousin Louis
and his wife are going
to be in town Friday.
I figured wouldn't it be cool maybe
you and me have dinner with them,
you being my future wife and all?
It'll be fun. Oh, yeah, this is Robbie.
Seriously, Jamie, I'd
like to see you more.
Can't seem to get that
Thanksgiving out of my head.
Let's go in my room, Larry.
You know the one.
Anyway, let me know. Bye.
Your oldest, dearest friend
is in love with you, Jamie.
No, he's not.
Mister Drywall is in love with you.
How do you feel about him, Jamie?
I told you how I feel about him.
You didn't tell me about that very
special Thanksgiving, though, did you?
I had just... Larry, I lost both of my
parents in less than six months. I just...
And? And what?
I was invited over to a friend's
house for Thanksgiving dinner.
I mean, Robbie was there. I was
just lonely. Larry, it mean nothing.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, it meant
something. Believe me, it meant something.
You don't get it.
Oh, I get it. Believe me, I get it.
Would you stop cleaning my kitchen?
I'm sorry.
Just can't get enough of those
blue collar types, can you?
Goes by the name of Caine.
The twelfth one is with him.
In review of our membership,
he couldn't be Dr. Caine.
Hello.
Doctor's office.
Who is it?
It's Bev from the bank. She wants
an appointment for this afternoon.
Is that all right?
Yeah.
That'll be fine, Bev. 4:30?
Any other calls? Jamie?
No.
Desert Storm? The Gulf
War was over in 1991.
That would make this
magazine what, Bernice?
The answer is, out of date.
This is an out of date magazine.
How many times did I tell you
to get rid of all of these?
Here. Want me to help you?
I think I'd better go.
Where you going?
Fact finding mission.
Don't forget about tonight.
Oh, I'll be there with bells on.
Bernice.
Dr. Caine?
Hello?
Thanks for being on time, Bev.
Oh, jeez. I wasn't snooping. I just
wanted to look at my file, really.
I've wanted to look at
my file since I was a kid.
Sanderson, Emile. Your file's inside.
First time I peeked in my
files, I was in college.
Now, to more important things.
This discolored tooth of yours.
Oh, it's been that
way since junior high.
Well, it should've been
taken care of. Lean forward.
Let's have a look, shall we?
Open wide for me. Smile. Big smile.
You know, as long as we're bonding your
incisor, that's that discolored tooth,
we could do all your teeth,
make them a few shades lighter,
give you that Hollywood smile.
All of them? You think?
I'd just like them whiter without
anybody noticing that I did anything,
if that's possible.
Anything is possible.
Open.
You ever been to Hollywood, Larry?
I went to Washington, D.C. once.
I bet you miss it, Washington, home.
I mean, it's exciting. It's
our nation's capital. Funny.
What's that, Bev?
There was this guy, passed
through town day before yesterday.
He said he was sure he knew you from
Los Angeles, but that couldn't be,
you being from D.C. and all.
No. No, it couldn't,
could it, Bev?
Well, he was grilling Shawna at
the caf. A little guy, she said.
Oh, this little guy,
does he have a name?
I don't know.
Let's see what you do know.
What are you doing?
What are you doing? No.
Breathe, Bev. Breathe.
Breathe. Yeah.
Wake up, Bev. It's time to go to school.
Five more minutes, Daddy.
What?
Oh my God. What?
Oh my God.
Larry. Larry, you can't do this.
What? Bond your teeth?
Please let me go,
Larry. Please let me go.
This is how we bond our teeth
in Hollywood, Bevvi. Bonding in bondage.
It's all the rage.
Please don't hurt me, Larry.
Oh, sure. You come in here under false
pretenses, you nose through my files,
then you sit there asking all
your little wheedling questions,
and then you beg me not to hurt you?
What world do you live in, Bevvi?
There. Now the nerve's exposed and
we can commence with a little game,
a lie detector test, if you will.
I'll ask a question, you answer it.
If you tell the truth,
I'll pat your head.
If you lie, I shall do this.
Good. I think you get it. Now, the first
question is, what do you know about me?
I only know what everybody else knows.
Oh, Bev. Wrong answer.
Now, the question was, exactly
what do you know about me?
I know that you're not
really Dr. Lawrence Caine.
That I'm not really Dr. Lawrence Caine?
You were somebody else six years ago.
Good. Good. Now, next question.
Why all those clumsy
questions about Washington?
I didn't think you lived in Washington.
You didn't think I lived in Washington.
Good. Good, Bev.
Do you know who I was before
I was Dr. Lawrence Caine?
No.
No.
- No?
Wrong answer.
Somebody help me.
Somebody help me.
Somebody help me.
If you say a word, if you
utter a sound while I'm gone,
I will cut out your vocal cords
with this? Do you understand?
Robbie, what can I do for you?
I got the last of the drywall here.
Well, I'm with a patient right now.
Bev? I noticed her car was out there.
Yes. We're bonding.
Help. Help me. Help.
Novocaine must have worn off.
Now, I'm going to have to
ask you to stay outside.
It's very important
that... Robbie, don't...
Bev.
Robbie.
Oh, Robbie.
No.
Bev, Bev, Bev.
Here we go, two pals, playing
a friendly little game.
The minute I turn my back, you cheat.
Get off me. Get off me. Get off me.
New game, Bevvi. Truth or tooth.
What did you tell
Jeremy about Washington?
I didn't tell. I didn't tell.
Your discolored tooth was a
problem. Not a problem anymore.
Well, I can see that you floss
regularly, Bev. I like that.
Now, Jamie. What did you tell Jamie?
I, uh...
Yeah? Are you sure?
I, uh...
Oh, Bev. You liar.
Ah, dammit, I broke it.
Darn. This is the part I
hate. I don't mind telling you,
Bevvi, pulling teeth is
like, well, pulling teeth.
You're looking much better already.
Would you give me back my drill?
Okay. I got a much better
idea, much better idea.
Oh, Bev, you're going to love this.
We'll cut it out.
The doctor isn't in right
now. Please leave a message.
It's me.
You can speak?
Both of us overreacted last night, and I'm
sorry if I said anything that hurt you.
That wasn't my intention.
- It's too late for apologies.
I'm almost at your office.
You think I wanted to do that to you?
I'm coming for the twelfth rose.
I worshiped you, but then I saw you
with him,
in your mouth.
I couldn't let you keep
your tongue, not after that.
Larry? Oh my God.
Stop it.
Stop.
That was weird.
Who is she?
It gets confusing at times, Brooke.
I think
I should call the police.
Larry?
Larry.
Through all the drama,
whether damned or not,
love gilds the scene,
and women drive the plot.
Come here.
No!
Come here.
No. Let go.
Damn cap just won't stay in.
Jamie. Jamie.
Jamie.
Jamie.
Are you in there? Jamie?
I know you're in there.
No. No.
Jamie. Jamie?
Open the door. Just a crack.
You stay away from me.
Jamie. Open the door.
No.
All right. Have it your way.
Don't you see it, Jamie?
We're joined at the hip.
We're Rob and Lauren. We're peanut
butter and jelly. We're Marge and Homer.
We're green eggs and ham.
We're corned beef and cabbage.
No. No.
Open wide, Jamie.
No.
There we are. Do you have
any idea where you are?
On the cutting edge, that's where.
On the threshold of a new
patient-friendly era of dentistry.
Behold, the dental environment
of the future.
It's an empty room.
It is not just an empty room.
It is a total dental environment.
Bathroom accident is the greatest
cause of injury in the home.
Wisdom teeth? You're here
for your wisdom teeth?
I had my wisdom teeth out years ago.
Well, we'll just have to do
a much better job this time,
won't we? Open wide.
You get away from me.
Jamie?
Brooke?
Jamie, Brooke.
Brooke. Oh, my Brooke.
Jamie.
I know you're behind there. Come out.
Matilda.
I'm not Matilda, and I'm not Brooke.
Can I let you in on a little secret?
Killing is liberating.
You just might like it.
I can kill you with this.
What if it's not plugged in?
What if it is?
Small town girl, nice,
honest, small town little girl.
You're not going to pull the trigger.
I'll tell you what.
I'll give you to three,
then I'm going to get you a new
smile and start to have some real fun.
One, two...
Surprise!
They're new.
I just bought them.
Jamie?
I'm over here.
Are you okay?
Where is he?
Oh, that damn tooth.
Stop, no. Stop, no.
Wider.
You know I don't want you anymore.
I didn't, I didn't do that.
A stranger.
A stranger, doctor?
I can remember those awful things I
did, but for the life of me, doctor,
I don't know the man who did them.
This stranger, this evil
Dr. Feinstone, where is he now?
Gone. Consumed by the
rage that spawned him.
By that, you mean it's over?
You've put your anger at your
wife's infidelity behind you?
No, doctor, it is not
over. It will never be over.
Every second of every day,
asleep or awake,
I see her face in the
faces of all of my victims.
You refer to them as your victims,
even though you say you don't
know the stranger who hurt them.
He is me.
lam him.
Still, he remains.
Until love returns, the soft
whisper of his voice,
searching, wanting,
that which he hath given with no reply.
He is gone?
He is under control. Shall we go?
Dr. Alec Feinstone, the
notorious psycho dentist,
broke out of the state mental
facility at lndio yesterday afternoon.
His hostage, psychiatrist
Dr. Genevieve Cussler...
You think before the doc went postal,
he was salting money
away from you and the IRS?
From you, God, his devoted wife
and helpmate? Excuse my bad manners,
but did he do that to
you? Cut your tongue out?
What a world, huh?
These are all his, huh? Souvenirs
from a trip he took as a kid.
South Dakota.
Nebraska.
Missouri. Missouri. Yeah.
Jeez, you look at these snow domes.
Set of safety deposit box keys.
The answer's in the postcards, huh?
All right.
They found the shrink's
car abandoned in Flagstaff.
Along with the 700 or so
bucks from her wallet, jeez,
he could be just about anywhere.
Bye now. Thank you.
Hey.
Hi, Mr. Wilkes?
Well, I'll be. Larry Caine, come on in.
How the hell long has
it been, five years?
God, it's good to see you. To
what do we owe this great pleasure?
Rush hour traffic.
Does that come with an explanation?
Well, my car overheated on the Alexandria
bridge. It was the morning rush hour.
That was it. I couldn't face another
yawing mouth, another bicuspid,
and I was weary of my life, of the city,
and the moral decay that
passes as sophistication.
Felt like that myself some clays.
I left my car right there on the bridge,
I walked home, I called my lawyer,
and long story short, here I am. Small
town, honest people, clean living,
but I got me a little
problem, old buddy.
Yeah, Jeremy?
Say, Bev, see if you can get Harry
and his drill over here toot sweet.
Dr. Caine has lost the key
to his safety deposit box.
All right)!-
Well, it's a little
irregular, but here it is.
Thanks.
What are your plans, Larry?
Oh, to live in Paradise.
Oh, great golf just outside of town.
Eh, I detest golf.
Eh, we'll change that.
Where you staying?
Paradise Motel.
The hell you are.
Ah, yes.
Jamie?
Jamie, have you rented the cottage?
No, not yet.
There's someone I want you
to meet. Come with me.
Larry?
Yeah, right with you.
Jamie Devers, Dr. Lawrence Caine.
Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
Yes, Jeremy tells me that
you're his favorite niece.
I'm his only niece.
Larry's just moved here to
Paradise, lock, stock and barrel,
from that eastern den of
inequity, Washington, D.C.
Actually, I left the lock,
stock and barrel behind.
You've got the empty cottage.
I thought maybe you could
show it to Larry during lunch.
It's really small.
Well, it's just me.
This was my parents' house.
It's where I grew up,
and there's the cottage.
I'll take it.
No. No.
You having trouble sleeping, doc?
I sure would if I were you.
Go away. Go away.
When it comes right down to
it, a Caine is just a Feinstone,
and we all know what a
Feinstone is, don't we?
Do it. Do it.
Yes, bleed.
Hello?
Larry?
Larry?
I came running over.
I was worried. It was...
I came running over here
because I heard this loud noise.
I didn't know what to think.
Unfamiliar surroundings, and I
must have bumped into the dresser
on my way to the bathroom,
and I can replace it.
Don't worry about it.
I can make another one.
You made it?
- Yeah.
Here. Let me, let me do that.
- You sure?
Yeah.
A little housework always relaxes me.
Do you do windows?
As a matter of fact, I do.
Good. I think we're going
to get along just fine, then.
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
In town, the, I think it's called
the Paradise Caf, is it any good?
After graduate school in
Seattle and a few lost years
contemplating the meaning of art in a
world that was consumed by commercialism,
I came to the realization that actually
creating my pottery was more important
than thinking about it, and
so, here I am, back in Paradise,
bank teller by day, artist by night.
Chicken fried steak for the
gentleman. Spinach salad for Jamie.
No wonder you stay so thin, darling.
Anything else?
Something wrong, sir?
No, no. I was, I was just
contemplating a side of curly fries.
I've decided against it, thank you.
Well, enjoy your dinner, folks.
Thanks.
You're fleeing reality
in search of a dream,
and I'm fleeing a dream
in search of reality.
What dream are you fleeing from?
My wife was a former Mrs. Maryland,
thus we were the perfect couple
for the perfect dinner party.
You fled from that?
Did I mention that the former Mrs. Maryland
was attending other parties without me,
in the afternoons, thrown
by the younger male members
of the foreign diplomatic
corps? Yet, still, he remains.
Until love returns, the
soft whisper of his voice
Wanting, searching, that which
he has given without return.
To Paradise.
May we both find here
what we're looking for.
Larry, you okay?
Larry, what's wrong?
I lost a cap.
Look, one of my caps has come loose.
We didn't put that in.
Yes, I know, but I'd like the
doctor to re-cement it, please.
Fill this out.
Don't do it.
Don't. Don't do it.
Oh, God.
Oh, that's good.
Send in the next patient,
please. Please have a seat.
This won't hurt a bit.
You ever been drilled on
before? Would you like some gas?
Open wide. Wider.
You have to stop moving. If
you move, I cannot proceed.
Why are you moving? Why
is everything moving?
Please, sit down. Sit still.
You're moving. Everything is moving.
You've got to sit still. Please.
Somebody.
Doctor's office. Oh, no, Mrs. Sanderson,
put him in for when? Friday, 10:00 AM.
Oh, how's Harold?
Oh, sorry to hear that.
Hope he feels better soon.
All right. We'll see you Friday. Bye.
Hey.
What are you doing with my patient?
Remove this cotton from your
mouth, ma'am, so you don't choke.
What's going on here? What, my...
Here, relax a minute, dear,
while I just take this out.
Oh, Bernice, look after Edna there.
Who the hell do you think you are?
That woman was in respiratory distress.
Respiratory distress?
...doctor... traveling the country,
saving poor souls from
respiratory distress?
I am a dentist.
Well, then, you should know
better than to be poking around
in another dentist's business.
Yeah. Are you going to wash
your hands? How bout some gloves?
Bernice, would you
bring me a box of gloves?
I'd appreciate it if you'd sterilize
your instruments one more time.
Anything else, doctor? Perhaps the
equipment is too old for your liking,
or maybe you miss the music? That it?
You like a little elevator
music with your dentistry?
How bout some Lysol under the cabinets?
Yeah, yeah.
You sure you want me to put in your cap?
You're the only game in town.
Yes, I am.
Okay. Open UP-
There we go.
This is a country practice, doctor.
Granted, it's plain and simple,
but the folks around here seem to like it
just fine, so I'd be obliged, city boy,
if you'd keep your opinions to yourself,
and your fingers out
of my patients' mouths.
God.
Asshole.
Cretin.
Burns.
Burns.
You ain't competent, buffoon.
What are you doing here?
Look at this.
What'd you use, library
paste? You call yourself a dentist?
You stay away from me. Bernice. Bernice.
Oh, Bernice is out to
lunch, more ways than one.
Fill them, fill them, fill them.
That's your philosophy, huh? You
know, you and your ilk, Dr. Burns,
have made dentists the
boogeymen of medicine,
something to be feared,
to be avoided at all costs.
I've worked my entire
career to change all that.
You see, a trip to the dentist should be
pleasant, something to look forward to.
That is, of course, if the
dentist in question is competent.
It's not the cap. You're a fruitcake.
Funny you should mention that.
You're scaring me.
I'm trying to. Now, repeat after me.
"L am an incompetent dentist." Say it.
I am an incompetent dentist.
Now, "I..."
- I...
"Am..."
- Am...
"A..."
- A...
"Boogeyman."
I can deal with this.
Your call is being answered by a
machine. Please leave a message.
Love and kisses from your favorite private
eye. I'm in Grand Junction, Colorado.
No luck so far. Next stop
is North Platte, Nebraska.
UP With people!
Ciao, baby.
Too bad about Doc Burns, isn't it?
Yes. Yes, it is.
Too bad for Paradise.
The answer is no, Jeremy.
Didn't get where I am by
accepting no for an answer.
Hey, buddy, I have a responsibility.
What kind of town would
this be without a dentist?
You won't even consider it?
- No.
Eh, just til we find somebody.
What part of no don't
you understand, Jeremy?
I did not give up a lucrative
practice in Washington
to start from scratch somewhere else.
A sweet deal for somebody. House,
practice, everything for a song.
Promise me you'll at
least think it over.
Afternoon, doctor.
Let me show you around.
Ask me, a little spackle, fresh coat
of paint, maybe some new carpeting,
you've got yourself one
fine little office here.
Come on in, city boy.
I'm going to Dr. Caine
Feinstone the bitch.
No. No. No. No.
Hey.
You're home early.
I wasn't feeling well.
What's wrong?
Little toothache. It's nothing.
I have an appointment Saturday
with Dr. Davis over in Otis.
70 miles away.
May I look at it?
All right.
All right. You want to open for me?
Feinstone her, Dr. Caine
Feinstone the bitch.
Are you okay, Larry?
I'm fine. Just open, open wide, Jamie.
Sensitive?
All right.
It's nothing serious. You just have a,
you have a small cavity
right at the gumline,
and I think that it's
best if we fill it.
Is it going to hurt?
Shouldn't.
Want to open wide?
All right, turn your
head a little this way.
Okay.
That's it? I didn't even feel it.
You're not supposed to.
Are you okay, Larry?
I'm going to have to change this bur.
Fehstone her, Dr. Came.
Feinstone the bitch.
I am not crazy. I am
not going to hurt her.
Is there anything wrong?
No, no, I'm fine. I'm just cleaning
the instruments. Be right with you.
Why's it so scary to
come to the dentist?
Doesn't have to be.
All right.
I will have you fixed up in no time.
Ready?
I did it. I did it.
I'm a dentist. I am the best
damn dentist there ever was.
Well, are you excited?
Excited? Yes, I think I am.
Well, the people of
Paradise thank you, Larry.
Lawrence.
Hey, hey, picture time.
Oh, yeah.
Jeremy. No, I just want Larry in front
of the sign. He's the man of the hour.
Boo.
You know, I could fix that.
Oh, I'm used to it.
Whenever you're ready.
Jamie, let me show you the house.
- Okay.
Now, I haven't really
changed the structure.
I mean, the layout is pretty much
the same. That's what I don't want.
Wow. This is nice.
You've done wonders.
I believe a harmonious environment
is essential to the dental experience.
Well, this one is just perfect.
Perfect? Oh, not quite.
I'm reserving that for the
operatory that I'm creating upstairs.
Coming up. Watch the back.
Well, I can't wait to see it.
You'll be the first.
Ah, well, my first patient.
You look really nice.
All right. See you.
- Okay.
Just a small country practice. I
think I'm going to like it here.
I've got a feeling he's going
to be real good for this town.
Hello?
Hi, Jamie. You still hard at work?
Well, I'm about ready to quit for
the night. How's the filing coming?
Well, at this rate, I should be
done somewhere around the millennium.
That bad?
Worse. Anyway, I just called to say hi.
Hi.
Hi. I'll talk to you tomorrow, huh?
Okay.
- Bye bye. - Bye-
Dr. Came'?
- Yes.
Oh, am I glad to see you. The cab jockey
thought you might be working late.
I thought I'd give it a shot.
My damn tooth is killing me.
Come in.
Oh, you're a ha of
Tamer, doc, a ha of iamer.
Do you think when we're finished,
you could give me a ride to the bus
stop? I've got to catch the 10:40 to KC.
A ride? I am a dentist,
not a cab jockey.
You know, the motel guy said the
only dentist in town was dead.
I had to track you down. You're
kind of flying under the radar, doc.
Kind of like stealth dentist.
Well, sir, you found me.
I guess tonight's my lucky night.
Well, we'll see.
You know, I'm from the left coast, L.A.
Lala land. Swimming pools, movie stars,
boob jobs. I'm on way way to KC.
I'm thinking about doing a
little real estate speculating.
My rental car broke down, and
they started to hassle me about it.
I told them to shove it. You
know, I'll just take the bus.
Have you ever been to L.A.,
doc? Have we ever met before?
God, I swear, you look familiar.
Better open your mouth,
sir. You have a bus to catch.
I'm terrible with names,
but I never forget a face.
Hold still.
Doc, that hurts like a bitch.
You're not going in there dry,
are you, doc? I mean,
I'm not anti-narcotics.
I'll administer an anesthetic.
Good. Hey, you know, just last year,
I picked out a guy at Dodger
Stadium two sections over.
I knew I knew this guy from somewhere,
but I just didn't know where,
and then it hit me. St. Paul, 1983,
footwear expo, floor shine booth.
I went over and checked
it out. It was him.
I never forget a face.
Have you ever been at Dodger Stadium, doc?
No, that's not it, but don't tell me.
Don't tell me. It's coming. You're
definitely southern California.
I detest baseball.
I'm never wrong, doc.
- Could you please sit still?
Have you ever been to L.A. doc? I swear
you look familiar. Never forget a face.
Oh, I'm never wrong, doc, never.
You're definitely southern California.
You did that on purpose.
I know you.
Fishbein, or Feinbein.
Feinberg, the crazy dentist.
Sir, sit back down. I cannot
leave that tooth untreated.
I took an oath.
Get out of the doorway, nutball.
This crazy dentist of
yours, this Feinstone,
would he get out of the doorway?
I'm sorry, man. I got to go.
You still want that ride?
No. No, I'm a walker.
Ah, you just couldn't have your
toothache someplace else, could you?
Insane, deranged, demented, psychotic,
nuts, nutso, nutcase, nutball, loco,
loony, apeshit, whacko.
Oh, I didn't want to do
it. I didn't want to do it.
I tried not to. I tried not to do it.
Okay. Okay. I'm going to make this work.
I am going to make this work. I
will make this work. I am in control.
I am in control. I am not crazy.
I am not crazy. I am not insane.
I am not a monster.
Hello, there. It's
me. Hey, how you doing?
I'll betcha you'll never guess where
I'm off to next. Paradise, Missouri.
Paradise, can you
believe it? See you later.
Back off, Bev.
I know. I just can't get
this image out of my head.
I keep imagining you in this canoe
with this handsome, mysterious stranger,
rushing down a raging river,
waterfalls, boulders, whitewater,
and he's the only one
with a life preserver.
You're an alarmist.
No, I prefer to see myself as a cynic,
and the cynic in me says that the...
Hey-
- Hey-
Hey, Jamie, how are you?
- I haven't seen you in a week.
Yeah, I got a job over in Otis.
I was staying with my cousin.
L got to go-
Bye.
I hear you rented your
cottage to the new dentist.
Mm-hmm, Dr. Came.
What do you think of him?
He's nice.
Hey, I'm scheduled to do
some work in his office.
He's not coming between us, is he?
No. Oh, God, Robbie, you're not
going to propose again, are you?
Jamie Devers, will you marry me?
No.
No? Why?
Because I like you too much.
No, not again.
Enjoy your blueberry pie, sir.
- Ah, blueberry.
You got a minute, sweetheart?
I can give you a second.
Just figured you were the type
that would help out a fellow
human being, that's all.
Give me a break.
I saw a guy in town today who
looked like an old army buddy.
Maybe you could help me track him down.
I'm staying right at the edge of town,
in the Sleep Easy Motel, if you
Hey, Bev, there's a little
guy at the end of the counter,
seems real interested in Doc Caine,
asking all sorts of questions.
Thinks he knows him from the
service or something, from L.A.
What little guy?
You'd be surprised how
people neglect their teeth.
If everybody were only as diligent as
you, Margaret. Some people never learn.
Oh, I'm sorry. Jeremy
needs you to sign these.
Hi, Jamie. I'll be done with
Margaret in just a moment.
Hey, Margaret.
- Hey.
I saw you earlier.
Where?
Oh, in town, by the caf, with some guy.
Robbie?
Robbie, is that his name? Robbie, well,
you didn't tell me about Robbie, did you?
There's nothing to tell.
There's nothing to tell.
That's not what it looked
like from where I was sitting.
He a good kisser?
Did you see the part when he was
on bended knee proposing to me?
Proposing?
Yeah, it's a joke. I mean,
he does this every month.
He proposes every month. It's a joke.
Spit, Margaret.
Robbie is one of my
oldest and dearest friends.
I mean, I've known him
since I was in third grade.
Little kids, babies.
Friends. I mean, that's all it
is. That's all it ever will be.
Friends'?
Friends.
Just friends?
Oh, God.
Excuse me. Hello? Yeah, I'm with
a patient, could you please
Would you stop?
Hey. Hey, hey.
Hey. Hey. I'm with a patient right now,
if you could just give
me 15 minutes or so.
Yeah, in case you
haven't put it together,
I'm the jerk who cut you off the other
day in town, and anyway, I'm sorry.
Hey, no problem, man. I'm Robbie
Mauro. I'm your drywall guy.
Aren't you living in Jamie's cottage?
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
She's spoken of you.
Yeah?
About how you've been friends
since you were children.
I've been in love with
Jamie since the third grade.
Third grade, huh? How about Jamie?
Oh, she's in love with me,
she just doesn't know it.
Oh! yeah?
I'm terribly sorry. I
didn't know it was loaded.
Gotcha.
He doesn't exist.
What are you talking about?
Larry Caine. He has no credit
history. I checked and rechecked.
The man is a blank. He was somebody
else before he came to Paradise.
Bev, this is nonsense.
No, no, there was a guy at the cafe.
He said he was sure he knew him from
Los Angeles, Jeremy, not Washington.
Larry Caine is a valued customer of
our bank, and an asset to our town.
I think you've been reading
too many murder mysteries, Bev.
Well, he could be one of
those Medicare fraud doctors
you see ducking behind
doors on 60 Minutes.
Thank you, Bev.
Dammit, Jeremy, he could be
married with a wife and kids.
Thank you, Mrs. Walls.
Bank of Paradise, this is Jamie.
Jamie, hi.
- Hi.
Listen, I'm standing outside
the office on the grounds here,
and I've been thinking
about you all day,
and I was hoping you'd do me the
honor ofjoining me for dinner tonight
at the most exclusive
restaurant in town.
No, not the Paradise Caf.
Something much better than that.
Hi.
- Hi.
You look great.
- You, too.
I love my dress, but
how did you know my size?
Perfect only comes in one size.
Where are we going?
Oh, Larry, I just love
what you've done out here.
Under the stars, in the dark of night,
silence the... and give love its flight.
Stay. Stay right here.
Don't move.
I should put these in water.
They'll keep.
No, they won't.
I'll bring you more tomorrow.
I want these.
Don't answer that.
Answer what?
Hey, Jamie. I guess you're
not in. Look, my cousin Louis
and his wife are going
to be in town Friday.
I figured wouldn't it be cool maybe
you and me have dinner with them,
you being my future wife and all?
It'll be fun. Oh, yeah, this is Robbie.
Seriously, Jamie, I'd
like to see you more.
Can't seem to get that
Thanksgiving out of my head.
Let's go in my room, Larry.
You know the one.
Anyway, let me know. Bye.
Your oldest, dearest friend
is in love with you, Jamie.
No, he's not.
Mister Drywall is in love with you.
How do you feel about him, Jamie?
I told you how I feel about him.
You didn't tell me about that very
special Thanksgiving, though, did you?
I had just... Larry, I lost both of my
parents in less than six months. I just...
And? And what?
I was invited over to a friend's
house for Thanksgiving dinner.
I mean, Robbie was there. I was
just lonely. Larry, it mean nothing.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, it meant
something. Believe me, it meant something.
You don't get it.
Oh, I get it. Believe me, I get it.
Would you stop cleaning my kitchen?
I'm sorry.
Just can't get enough of those
blue collar types, can you?
Goes by the name of Caine.
The twelfth one is with him.
In review of our membership,
he couldn't be Dr. Caine.
Hello.
Doctor's office.
Who is it?
It's Bev from the bank. She wants
an appointment for this afternoon.
Is that all right?
Yeah.
That'll be fine, Bev. 4:30?
Any other calls? Jamie?
No.
Desert Storm? The Gulf
War was over in 1991.
That would make this
magazine what, Bernice?
The answer is, out of date.
This is an out of date magazine.
How many times did I tell you
to get rid of all of these?
Here. Want me to help you?
I think I'd better go.
Where you going?
Fact finding mission.
Don't forget about tonight.
Oh, I'll be there with bells on.
Bernice.
Dr. Caine?
Hello?
Thanks for being on time, Bev.
Oh, jeez. I wasn't snooping. I just
wanted to look at my file, really.
I've wanted to look at
my file since I was a kid.
Sanderson, Emile. Your file's inside.
First time I peeked in my
files, I was in college.
Now, to more important things.
This discolored tooth of yours.
Oh, it's been that
way since junior high.
Well, it should've been
taken care of. Lean forward.
Let's have a look, shall we?
Open wide for me. Smile. Big smile.
You know, as long as we're bonding your
incisor, that's that discolored tooth,
we could do all your teeth,
make them a few shades lighter,
give you that Hollywood smile.
All of them? You think?
I'd just like them whiter without
anybody noticing that I did anything,
if that's possible.
Anything is possible.
Open.
You ever been to Hollywood, Larry?
I went to Washington, D.C. once.
I bet you miss it, Washington, home.
I mean, it's exciting. It's
our nation's capital. Funny.
What's that, Bev?
There was this guy, passed
through town day before yesterday.
He said he was sure he knew you from
Los Angeles, but that couldn't be,
you being from D.C. and all.
No. No, it couldn't,
could it, Bev?
Well, he was grilling Shawna at
the caf. A little guy, she said.
Oh, this little guy,
does he have a name?
I don't know.
Let's see what you do know.
What are you doing?
What are you doing? No.
Breathe, Bev. Breathe.
Breathe. Yeah.
Wake up, Bev. It's time to go to school.
Five more minutes, Daddy.
What?
Oh my God. What?
Oh my God.
Larry. Larry, you can't do this.
What? Bond your teeth?
Please let me go,
Larry. Please let me go.
This is how we bond our teeth
in Hollywood, Bevvi. Bonding in bondage.
It's all the rage.
Please don't hurt me, Larry.
Oh, sure. You come in here under false
pretenses, you nose through my files,
then you sit there asking all
your little wheedling questions,
and then you beg me not to hurt you?
What world do you live in, Bevvi?
There. Now the nerve's exposed and
we can commence with a little game,
a lie detector test, if you will.
I'll ask a question, you answer it.
If you tell the truth,
I'll pat your head.
If you lie, I shall do this.
Good. I think you get it. Now, the first
question is, what do you know about me?
I only know what everybody else knows.
Oh, Bev. Wrong answer.
Now, the question was, exactly
what do you know about me?
I know that you're not
really Dr. Lawrence Caine.
That I'm not really Dr. Lawrence Caine?
You were somebody else six years ago.
Good. Good. Now, next question.
Why all those clumsy
questions about Washington?
I didn't think you lived in Washington.
You didn't think I lived in Washington.
Good. Good, Bev.
Do you know who I was before
I was Dr. Lawrence Caine?
No.
No.
- No?
Wrong answer.
Somebody help me.
Somebody help me.
Somebody help me.
If you say a word, if you
utter a sound while I'm gone,
I will cut out your vocal cords
with this? Do you understand?
Robbie, what can I do for you?
I got the last of the drywall here.
Well, I'm with a patient right now.
Bev? I noticed her car was out there.
Yes. We're bonding.
Help. Help me. Help.
Novocaine must have worn off.
Now, I'm going to have to
ask you to stay outside.
It's very important
that... Robbie, don't...
Bev.
Robbie.
Oh, Robbie.
No.
Bev, Bev, Bev.
Here we go, two pals, playing
a friendly little game.
The minute I turn my back, you cheat.
Get off me. Get off me. Get off me.
New game, Bevvi. Truth or tooth.
What did you tell
Jeremy about Washington?
I didn't tell. I didn't tell.
Your discolored tooth was a
problem. Not a problem anymore.
Well, I can see that you floss
regularly, Bev. I like that.
Now, Jamie. What did you tell Jamie?
I, uh...
Yeah? Are you sure?
I, uh...
Oh, Bev. You liar.
Ah, dammit, I broke it.
Darn. This is the part I
hate. I don't mind telling you,
Bevvi, pulling teeth is
like, well, pulling teeth.
You're looking much better already.
Would you give me back my drill?
Okay. I got a much better
idea, much better idea.
Oh, Bev, you're going to love this.
We'll cut it out.
The doctor isn't in right
now. Please leave a message.
It's me.
You can speak?
Both of us overreacted last night, and I'm
sorry if I said anything that hurt you.
That wasn't my intention.
- It's too late for apologies.
I'm almost at your office.
You think I wanted to do that to you?
I'm coming for the twelfth rose.
I worshiped you, but then I saw you
with him,
in your mouth.
I couldn't let you keep
your tongue, not after that.
Larry? Oh my God.
Stop it.
Stop.
That was weird.
Who is she?
It gets confusing at times, Brooke.
I think
I should call the police.
Larry?
Larry.
Through all the drama,
whether damned or not,
love gilds the scene,
and women drive the plot.
Come here.
No!
Come here.
No. Let go.
Damn cap just won't stay in.
Jamie. Jamie.
Jamie.
Jamie.
Are you in there? Jamie?
I know you're in there.
No. No.
Jamie. Jamie?
Open the door. Just a crack.
You stay away from me.
Jamie. Open the door.
No.
All right. Have it your way.
Don't you see it, Jamie?
We're joined at the hip.
We're Rob and Lauren. We're peanut
butter and jelly. We're Marge and Homer.
We're green eggs and ham.
We're corned beef and cabbage.
No. No.
Open wide, Jamie.
No.
There we are. Do you have
any idea where you are?
On the cutting edge, that's where.
On the threshold of a new
patient-friendly era of dentistry.
Behold, the dental environment
of the future.
It's an empty room.
It is not just an empty room.
It is a total dental environment.
Bathroom accident is the greatest
cause of injury in the home.
Wisdom teeth? You're here
for your wisdom teeth?
I had my wisdom teeth out years ago.
Well, we'll just have to do
a much better job this time,
won't we? Open wide.
You get away from me.
Jamie?
Brooke?
Jamie, Brooke.
Brooke. Oh, my Brooke.
Jamie.
I know you're behind there. Come out.
Matilda.
I'm not Matilda, and I'm not Brooke.
Can I let you in on a little secret?
Killing is liberating.
You just might like it.
I can kill you with this.
What if it's not plugged in?
What if it is?
Small town girl, nice,
honest, small town little girl.
You're not going to pull the trigger.
I'll tell you what.
I'll give you to three,
then I'm going to get you a new
smile and start to have some real fun.
One, two...
Surprise!
They're new.
I just bought them.
Jamie?
I'm over here.
Are you okay?
Where is he?
Oh, that damn tooth.
Stop, no. Stop, no.
