..l don't know. I won't know until I have the meeting with the kid. Look, Jack, he's a suicidal patient. He's not suicidal. lt was a call for help, ifanything. You're not suggesting that we let him go, are you? No, I'm not suggesting that. First thing Monday... we have to get thejudge over here for a hearing. Also on Monday... we'll have to transfer him to another therapist... because that's your last day, Jack. Bill? You think you're up to it? lf he's on medication, I could. He'll be on medication. All right. I'll give him... l don't know. A hundred milligrams of Mellzac, q.i.d. And Bill can begin to decrease it... once his anxiety lessens about being attacked by his patients. Could you tell him to stop? lf he refuses, do we restrain him and give it by injection? I'll get him to take it, for Christ's sake. What's the big concern here? He hasn't been assaultive. Anyway, I've got to go. No, no. There's one other piece of business. OK! We're ready! For he's ajolly good fellow... For he's ajolly good fellow... For he's ajolly good fellow... Which nobody can deny! ''Today is the first day ofthe rest ofyour life.'' Come in ! I am Doсa lnez... the mother of Don Juan DeMarco. May I come in, Don Octavio? Please. I came as soon as the archdiocese... told me that my son had called them. What exactly is wrong with him? Well...l am... I am very grateful, Sister, that you've come... at this strange moment in time... because there is so much crucial information... that I need in order to help your son. How can I help? For instance, is it a fact that your son grew up... with you and your husband in Mexico in a small town? San Luis Coatzacoalcos. lt's not very far from lzucar de Matamoros. Have you heard of it? Well, not many have. lt's very small. ln order to help your son... I have to have some information. I need to know about Don Alfonzo... about his father, Don Antonio... and about your relationship with both ofthem. I think it would be best... ifyou would discuss these matters with my son. My vows to God do not allow me to talk... about certain aspects of my past. I don't think, Sister... that I'm making myselfclear. I've been to see your son's grandmother... and she tells me that neither you nor your son... have ever lived in Mexico. She said that you metTony in Queens, New York... and, until recently, she said she only saw her grandson... once in her life, when she was in Phoenix, Arizona. She also said thatfive years ago... that your husband died in a car crash. Now, in addition... I'm sorry, but you must understand, Sister... that I need to know the truth. The truth is inside you, Don Octavio. I cannot help you find that. lsn't she exactly as l described her, Don Octavio? Exactly. Doсa Julia has become a nun at the same convent. So it seems. I told my mother she could go back today... but I will miss her. She really has a way of putting me in touch with what's real. Why are you so certain... that your mother was not having an affair with Don Alfonzo? My mother was not having an affair. Well, I think you can understand... how the thought might have occurred to me... when you told me how your father died. lt's never been clear to me what... what your mother meant when she cried out... ''l will lose both ofthem !'' Did she mean both her husband and her son... or both of her lovers? My mother... was not having an affair. Do you understand why it's necessary-- Shut up! You think I don't know... what's going on with you, Don Octavio, but I do. You need me for a transfusion... because your own blood has turned to dust... and clogged your heart. Your need for reality... Your need for a world where love is flawed... will choke your veins until all the life is gone. My perfect world is no less real than yours, Don Octavio. lt is only in my world that you can breathe, isn't
