is Dr Joel Fleischman.
Nice to meet you. Take a seat.
Sorry you're not feeling well.
- Where does it hurt?
- His stomach is upset.
- It started on the plane from Hawaii.
- Ah.
Tell him it's probably just turbulence,
or maybe the airline food,
but I'll poke around, just to be safe.
Tell him that Dr Fleischman is the kind
of enterprising young professional
who's chosen to stake his claim right here
on the banks of the Alaskan Riviera.
Tell him I'm being held against my will.
There's nothing
this young man can't handle.
If you want a Cadillac, go to Detroit.
If you want a doctor, go to New York City.
Say "Ah".
- Ah.
- Ah.
Careful there, son. Those are
valuable glands you're examining.
- What business are you guys in?
- Trucking.
- Trucking?
- And docks.
- Ducks?
- Docks.
- Docks!
- Just let it be, Fleischman.
Let's just say that Mr Masuto's got
a very highly diversified portfolio.
- He's also got wax.
- He's gonna build a resort in Cicely.
- Really?
- If we can agree on the figures.
We can agree on the figures!
Yeah, it's gonna be a state-of-the-art
hotel complex, 1,000 rooms, swimming pools,
riding stable, tennis courts,
18-hole golf course.
- Golf course?
- Yeah.
Would you excuse us
for one moment, please?
Tell him to disrobe.
I want in.
I want in, so I can get out.
- Now just listen to me. Just hear me out.
- What?
A resort this size
will need a highly-paid physician, right?
- What are you drivin' at?
- I will do it full-time, and for peanuts.
- In return for what?
- Um...
A one-year reduction in my sentence?
What's so funny?
You're gonna need someone
to help sell the area.
I'm urban, I'm professional,
and I'm desperate.
You know, you got a point there, son.
Hey, I'm the perfect prototype of
the new and improved modern Alaskan.
The most important thing
in dealing with these people is bonding.
You got to do all you can to break down
the cultural barriers to close the deal.
- Are you ready for somethin' like that?
- Oh, yeah!
I love sushi.
- Shelly, you're agonising.
- I am?
I suppose I am.
But how do you tell your old man
that your pee turned blue?
It really depends on
the type of man you're dealing with.
If he's a romantic, break it to him over
a candlelit dinner and a bottle of wine.
Holling likes draught beer.
Or if he's a musician,
you could take him to a concert.
Or if he's an arrogant, condescending
professional from New York,
you'd probably want
to raise the kid on your own.
But a man like Holling - a gentle man,
a mature man, a man's man?
The direct approach would be the best.
- You mean, like, just say it?
- Just say it.
- OK.
- OK.
Come on, boys!
Never negotiate, never turn your back
on 'em, and never mention Pearl Harbor.
- Right.
- Wine 'em and dine 'em till they drop,
and then stick them with the tab
before they stick you.
Oh, good. Here's our mayor now.
Holling Vincoeur, I'd like you to meet
two very special VIP guests...
It's just an honorary title anyway.
Gentlemen, if you'll step right in,
make yourselves at home.
- What the hell's the problem?
- She's pregnant.
Preggies? Who's preggies?
- Shelly.
- My Shelly?
Mr Minnifield? Mr Minnifield!
Oh, yeah. Gentlemen, please.
What happened? He got angry?
No, he just dropped
what he was doing and left.
- So why's she crying?
- Haven't you ever heard of hormones?
What is this, a pop quiz?
Yeah, I've heard of hormones.
Oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone -
which obviously regulates you.
- Wanna know what I think?
- Do I care?
- Do I care if you care?
- Hey, look, O'Connell...
You made a real mess of things here.
I know.
I never thought of myself
as the marryin' kind, but...
there's no one in the worid
I would rather marry than you.
Shelly, honey, will you marry me?
OK.
Maurice! What are you doin'?!
The guys are gettin' restless.
Sake's not my beverage of choice.
Just take small sips.
If we're gonna bond with these guys,
there's
