levels
aren't where they should be.
Let's up the hormone supplement
five milliliters.
How you feelin' otherwise?
I just can't keep
anything down.
That's morning sickness.
It'll pass. Eat crackers.
My nipples are very sensitive.
What?
My nipples...
They feel like, kind of, tingling.
- Tingling like sore or like itchy?
- You surf?
Surf, 'cause I got that
a lot from paddling out.
It's something about the wax
and the salt water. It irritates them.
- You get what?
- His nipples are tingling.
- I don't surf.
- It could be your laundry detergent.
I used to get that when
I used a non-biodegradable soap.
Thank you very much for your concern.
It's very nice.
Or it could be
that polyester shirt.
I don't know how much more
of this I can handle.
You're doin' great. I talked
to my guy at Lyndon this morning.
They saw the initial data.
They are ecstatic.
I'm gonna meet with their C.E.O. at the
convention in San Francisco next month.
What? Cramps?
Come on. Get up.
Let's go walk it off. Let's go.
Let's go.
Look, I don't want to cut back
the hormones altogether.
It'll jeopardize the protocol.
A tingle and tummy ache won't kill ya.
- Okay.
- Dr. Hesse!
- Boy, here she comes.
- Excuse me.
- Excuse me.
- Just what we need.
I know this is none of my business.
I can't help but notice
the lethargy, the nausea...
the little vials you keep
leaving in the wastepaper basket.
Yes?
Do you have
a substance abuse problem?
- What?
- No!
There's nothing to be ashamed of.
I was involved in a study...
in Oxford where it was categoric...
This is serious. I'm very concerned.
It's been going on for nearly a month,
and I think he should see someone.
There is a tragic disease
that afflicts the men...
of his village in Austria.
They even named it after the place.
It's called,
"Gelandensprung Syndrome. "
- Gelandensprung?
- Yeah.
- You've heard of it?
- No.
I'm not surprised. It's endemic
to only a few places in all the world.
Well, what is it?
It's a terrible, debilitating...
relentless, you know,
kind of...
Fatness.
- Fatness.
- Fatness?
Striking young men in their prime,
turning them into big...
- wheezing...
- Strudelhunds.
- Strudelhunds.
- Strudelhunds?
Pastry hounds.
Yeah, that's the...
insult that they hurl upon them.
I'm gonna go get you
some crackers, because...
it'll head off trouble
that's approaching.
He's gonna be all right.
- Banes!
- But you're not fat.
Oh, because I'm taking
a new formula.
I've only nine more weeks
of the protocol.
It's funny how you don't appreciate
somebody until they're gone.
I'm not gone. You're gone.
What do you want to talk about?
It's about our contract.
You got a couple of minutes?
Not really.
I really need to talk to you.
I feel so humiliated.
Don't be. People get sick all the time.
There's no need to be ashamed.
I feel like I lost control
over my body.
Control's important
to you, isn't it?
What do you mean?
Same three shirts,
week in, week out.
Same coat peg,
same wash basin.
That odd little ritual with
the liverwurst and apple every day.
I like order.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing.
It's just an observation.
And I don't like being sick.
Is there anything wrong with that?
No. It's just that men...
-Men what?
-They're pathetic when it comes to pain.
You should try being a woman sometime.
It's a nightmare.
Your body goes peculiar with your period
and doesn't stop until menopause.
It's a lifetime
of leaking and swelling...
and spotting and smears.
Crippling cramps,
raging hormones, yeasts!
And that's if
everything's normal.
- I never wanted to be a woman.
- I'm just saying.
That's perfectly normal.
Not to worry.
Just stay off your feet. Use an ice pack
for a few minutes every hour...
and call me in the morning.
- Larry!
- No, it's okay. That's why I'm here.
- Lar!
- All right. Bye-bye.
Look at this.
Leave 'em alone.
- Don't snap at me.
- Angela, this is my house now.
