schedule's impossible, but...
You know how l feel about you, Jonesy.
- You've been like a father to me.
- And you a son to me.
l always look for the worst in people.
- A piece of you in them?
- Yeah, a piece of me.
And, generally, l find it.
Well, it may take you years, but you'll find it.
Oh, you're cute. You are cute.
lt's looking better. l think we'll move you
upstairs to a private room for a while.
Oh, yeah.
But you'd better rest.
lf you don't , you're in for a lot of trouble.
Oh, l will, doctor.
l promise. l will.
Mr Gideon.
Mr Gideon, what are you doing?
Oh, this? l was just getting rid of it.
l caught someone smoking,
and l told him a man in my condition
shouldn't even be around smoke.
l'm telling ya, Gideon,
l got real insight into you.
There's a deep-rooted fear
of being conventional.
Right.
Your blood pressure is higher than we hoped.
Your cardiograms haven't improved one bit.
Now, if you don't give a damn,
it's hard to expect us to.
Mr Gideon!
l'll leave these menus with you. Please check
off what you want for the coming weeks, OK?
Monday, l'll have roast beef,
Tuesday, chicken, Wednesday, steak,
Thursday, l plan to be dead,
so... l'll just have something light.
Mr Gideon!
She wrote a little note on the back.
She said you'd understand.
" Dear loving, giving, generous" -
underlined four times - " Dad,
l hear nurses are nice people, hint, hint.
Your poor, brotherless daughter."
Joe, what does it mean?
lt means she's inherited her mother's
determination, that's what it means.
Oh, no... Thank you, thank you. No, no...
Y ou're wonderful, wonderful.
The word superstar is greatly
overused in this business.
But for my next guest, the word
superstar is totally inadequate.
Whenever l do a benefit -
and l've done 150, 60, 70, this year,
all for very worthy causes - l can always
count on this dude to be right there with me.
l feel humbled in his presence.
From deep, deep in here, ladies
and gentlemen, let me lay on you...
- A great enteerainer.
- a great entertainer,
- A great humanitarian.
- a great humanitarian,
- And my dear friend for 25 years.
- and my dearest, dearest friend for 20 years.
- You missed by five years.
- Oh, boy, do l hate show business.
- Joey, you love show business.
- That's right, l love show business.
l'll go either way.
l got insight into you, Gideon.
You know what's underneath?
The dreadful fear that you're ordinary,
not special.
Right.
Oh, l think...
l think...
- l'm getting an erection.
- Oh, Mr Gideon, don't do that.
That sex thing, Jesus. Listen,
l wouldn't say you were a faggot,
but you do have a lot
of feminine characteristics, right?
Right.
You are foolishly and childishly
fliering with disaster.
Joey, you're really crazy!
What do you wanna do, kill yourself?
Dr Ballinger told me to get a little exercise.
Everything he does seems
to be a denial of his condition.
Dr Ballinger, every time l've seen him,
l get the impression that
he doesn't care whether he lives or dies.
Yes, l know. But l think he cares a lot.
OK, we'll limit his visitors
to no more than two.
Joe, l wish you could have been there.
9:30 this morning,
before a single review was out,
the line at Cinema One was around the
block. The people know. The people know.
This broke every first-day record.
lt's a blockbuster. l mean a blockbuster.
And those guys in
