(Maggie and Joel) Anyways, everybody knows that size has nothing to do with performance. It's the quality of the equipment that counts, little lady. (Maurice to Shelly, on Holling's bigger TV dish) You are single, you are heterosexual, you are a doctor, you are Jewish. Alaska is wide open for you and I was right. Believe me, I will be out there.

(Shelly confesses her addiction to Chris) You look familiar. Well, I should look familiar, Fleischman. You've only known me for eight months. (Joel to Maggie, dressed as Elaine) Sex should be wild. Unfettered and free. We're animals, aren't we? And, basically, we're all wolves in sheep's fur. I always wanted more. Not frequency, I am not talking about frequency; although that would have been great, too. I wanted more intensity. I wanted to be out there, outside myself, outside my skin. I wanted sex to be like robbing life out of the jaws of death! Wow... Are you okay? Why? Well, it's 20 below out, and you're breaking a sweat. (Joel to Maggie)

2.02 The Big Kiss Storylines --------- Chris loses his voice to a beautiful woman. One Who Waits helps Ed search for his parents. Quotes ------ They say dreams are the windows of the soul--take a peek and you can see the inner workings, the nuts and bolts. (Chris on the air) They put in extra parts just to make you crazy. What IS this?? This look like a tibia to you? No, it looks like the tailbone of of an orangutan. How many teeth do you think this thing has? 30. I counted them. What happened to 32? This guy go to a dentist before he came to me? (Joel holding up a human skeleton) It's important to begin a search on a full stomach. (One Who Waits advises Ed) Here's to your voice, son. May it come back soon. If not, look for work. (Maurice to Chris) A teakettle is better company than you are, son. (Maurice to a voiceless Chris) Where's Rick? He had to fly a bunch of old guys up to Valdez to try and prove the whole thing didn't happen. (Chris and Maggie) Sometimes when you look back on a situation, you realize it wasn't all you thought it was. A beautiful girl walked into your life. you fell in love. Or did you? Maybe it was only a childish infatuation, or maybe just a brief moment of vanity. (Maurice on the air, remembering his days with Shelly) Each man told you a story of the tribe. A history. They didn't expect you to remember everything. They just wanted you to hear the words. When they finished, they picked you up and handed you man to man so that you would know each one of them was your father. These are your stories and those men are your fathers. (One Who Waits to Ed) There's an old saying that if you come back to the place where you became a man, you will remember all those things you need to be happy... That saying never made sense to me, but I thought it was worth a try. (One Who Waits to Ed) Have you heard one word I've just said O'Connell? Every word Fleischman. I think you've been reading too many freshman psychology textbooks. (Joel to Maggie, about Ed's spirit friend) That smile of yours makes the Mona Lisa look self-doubting. (Joel to Maggie) Do I detect a note of jealousy, Fleischman? Jealous? Me? Of what? Why would I be jealous? I was thinking how Rick might feel...remember him? Big guy with landing gear for brains? (Maggie and Joel) There he is now...the only man alive who can pitch woo without talking. (Joel to Maggie, describing a voiceless Chris) He's not just going to talk, Fleischman; he's going to SING! Like Pavarotti! (Maggie promises to bring Chris's voice back) I'm tired, Ed. I think I'll go to sleep. You sleep? Not really. I just close my eyes and lie on my side. Old habits are hard to break.

(Maurice to Joel, on Maggie's encounter with Chris) After my recent brush with voicelessness, I though I'd share with you a few thoughts about speech. Don't take it lightly me friends. If music is the pathway to the heart as Voltaire suggested, then speech is the pathway to other people. Live in silence and you live alone. (Chris on the air) We all carry around so much pain in our hearts. Love and pain and beauty. They all seem to go together like one little tidy confusing package. It's a messy business, life. It's hard to figure--full of surprises. Some good. Some bad. (Chris on the air)

2.03 All Is Vanity Quotes ------ Hmm. Hmm what? Your thing. What about it? It looks funny. (Shelly and Holling) Be careful, there's some ice over there. You could offer to help, Fleischman. You, our own Calamity Jane? Our torch-bearer of the pioneer spirit? I wouldn't presume to insult you. Why were you born, Fleischman? A mosquito has more utilitarian value! (Joel sees Maggie unloading her truck) My neck was a little stiff last week. Once in a while I get a tick right here under my eye. I'm thinking about getting circumsized. And every now and again, my knee pops out. What? My knee pops out. (Holling visits Joel's office) I hear it's also more ... in style. In style? Like pleated pants, or an earring? (Holling tries to justify circumcision to Joel) Are you circumcised? Yes, but that's irrelevant. I'm Jewish. It's in the contract. (Holling to Joel) You don't know your own patient?

(Maurice, Joel, Marilyn examine the dead man) I don't suppose you have an undertaker either. Milt. Milt...Wyman? He's a taxidermist. Well, that makes him eminently qualified I'd say.

Oh, Holling, nobody's every done something like this for me before...this is so incredibly macho. (Shelly reacts to Holling) Out here, food takes precedence over human remains. (Maurice to Joel, why the body is kept outside, not in the freezer) Why is seven degrees in Alaska colder than seven degrees anywhere else? (Joel) How many guys would get their Johnny peeled just to show his babe how much he cared? (Shelly to Joel, about Holling) What kind of boyfriend are you? You wouldn't think we had a close, caring relationship; that we've been intimately involved for the past six months. What kind of impression is that going to make on my dad? My dad! Who's come all this way to meet you, my boyfriend, the doctor, who I've written so many wonderful letters about. (Maggie to Joel, in front of her Dad) You've been listening to the adagio from Beethoven's 7th Symphony. I think Ludwig pretty much summed up death in this one. You know, he had lost just about all his hearing when he wrote it, and I've often wondered if that didn't help him tune into the final silence of the great beyond. (Chris on the air) Me? The person you describe as manipulative, self-centered, sub-human? The person who just a few hours ago you compared unfavorably to a tapeworm? Why would you do such a twisted, perverted thing? (Joel reacts to being Maggie's boyfriend) It's all such a mystery...No matter how hard I try, I just can't figure it out. (Ruth-Anne's view of life) You know, you should wear a dress more often. Let people see this dynamite figure of yours. Why should I be the only lucky one? (Joel to Maggie, in front of her dad) Sports, me? What do you play? Well, in the winter, it's luge...in the summer, I'm really into bungee jumping. I've grown really tired of contact sports. I mean, you can break an ankle, you can tear up a knee...but can you DIE?! Can you die?! Where's the fun in it all if defeat is nothing more than six months in traction? (Joel describes himself to Maggie's dad) Scalpel... Uh oh... Can you fix it? (Joel and Shelly in Holling's dream about circumcision) A man should not leave this earth with unfinished business. He should live each day as if it was a pre-flight check. He should ask each morning, am I prepared to lift-off? (Maurice watches the frozen body) I can't do it. I can't, I cannot put you at risk. I know how much you want this, Holling. I feel terrible. You come to me with a simple request; one simple little request. What do I do? I fail you. Do you know how that makes me feel? Impotent. Like a failure. (Joel saves the day for Holling) I live in Alaska, I fly a plane, my boyfriend's name is Rick, I don't cook, and I hardly ever wear a dress. (Maggie lays it out for her dad) The fact that we don't know this man, isn't important really. Cause his experience is our experience, and his fate is our fate. Vani tass, vani tatum, et omni i vani tass, says the preacher. All is vanity I think that's a pretty good epitaph for all of us. When we're stripped of all our worldly possessions and all our fame, family, friends, we all face death alone. But it's that solitude in death that's our common bond in life. I know it's ironic, but that's just the way things are. Vani tass, vani tatum, et omni i vani tass. Only when we understand all is vanity, only then, it isn't. (Chris speaks at the funeral) Sometimes I have trouble following his train of thought. (Maurice to Ed, commenting on Chris) Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove. O no, it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wand'ring bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come. Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out ev'n to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. (Maggie reads Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 at the funeral)

2.04 What I Did For Love Music ----- 1. Sinead O'Connor, You Do Something to Me (Maggie listens to a tape at the end) Quotes ------ This is stupid, O'Connell. You can't play the game of CLUE with two people. It is obviously Colonel Mustard with the candlestick in the library! (Joel to Maggie in a dream) I mean, when you come right down to it, what's the point of coming back here at all? You'll get thrown in the slammer for breach of contract. Okay. There's a point. (Joel to Ruth Anne, about his upcoming trip to New York) Well, thanks Fleischman. That's...that's sweet. Oh, I appreciate it, I do. It's just that I have this Pavlovian response to you and I can never really express my appreciation. To you, that is. Because you're sneaky and duplicitous and self-serving and I always think you have a hidden agenda. You're welcome. (Maggie and Joel) That's right, tomorrow's Founders' Day, when we all get together down at the church and mark that special day back in 1932 when Cicely and Roslyn stalled out here on the cusp of the new Alaskan Riviera and had to make the best of a bad situation. That's a damn lie! Now nobody really knows for sure what happened in that stalled car out in the woods with Cicely and her very special friend Roslyn... Damn it! I told him to lay off that lesbian angle! (Chris on the air, Maurice in the Brick) I've got nothing against Sapphic love! I've been to some erotic movies myself! (Maurice in the Brick) Where do you want the chair? Over in the corner. Ah, yes, underneath the memorial shrine. I think scrapbooks are cliche. (Joel helps Maggie) Those are the black fedoras; symbolizing...well you know. Death? Right. And what does the glued on macaroni symbolize? Man's inhumanity to man? (Maggie and Joel discuss the dioramas) Let's not tell him about the Anchorage-New York plane crash. If he finds out he's dead, the evening will be a total drag. (Mr. Streisand to Maggie during CLUE) This may come as a shock to you, but not every Jew in New York knows every other Jew in New York. We're not like the Masons, we don't have a secret handshake. (Joel on the phone) Dr. David Ginsberg. B.A. City College, M.D. Columbia University. Do I know guys like him? I AM guys like him. He's going to love Cicely, Alaska. (Joel to Marilyn, about his replacement) Now, all kinds of people love all kinds of people. None of it makes any sense. But when you get right down to it, love just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I'll tell you why. Half the time you're either trampling on somebody's heart, or half the time it's your heart that's got the footprints. Now usually it's another man or woman who does the trampling, but in the case of our beloved founders, Cicely and Roslyn, it was that two-fisted cross-dresser Mortality who did the damage. (Chris practices his Founder's Day sermon) If a person has a premonition that some other person is going to die... But you're not really close to the someone or anything. Is it the premonitioner's moral obligation to warn the premonitionee? (Maggie asks Chris) Your history with men being what it is AND a black fedora? (Chris about Maggie's dream about Joel's death) You're my replacement? You're Dr. Ginsberg?! Please. I can't handle this "Doctor" stuff. He likes to be called Dave. (Joel, Dave, and Marilyn) Ed, what do you think of Dave? He's nice. You base that conclusion on what?? His niceness. Plus, he's an excellent doctor. How do you know that? Well, he's Jewish, and he's from New York. Jewish? Give me a break. What Jew looks like that and fixes heaters? Michael Landon. (Joel to Ed, about the replacement doctor) And while our mental gears are shifted into memory; I'd like to call a little attention to a fellow that we've gotten pretty attached to here in the last few months. A guy that we refer to as Dr. Fleischman. Well, he might just go away for two weeks...well, how many people know about Maggie's dream? Wow. Okay. All right. Sure. He can come back. And true, even if he doesn't, we still have Dave...but I'd like to take a little time now to pay our respects to Joel while we still can. (Chris at the Founders' Day meeting) I feel really bad about Elaine breaking up with him. I can't help but think had she known about the plane wreck, she might have gone ahead and waited until he was dead. I think that would have been the tactful way to handle it. (Ruth Anne "remembers" Joel) I always wanted to be at my own funeral. The way you can see what people thought about you. (Ed to Joel) This is Grandpa Jim. He's dead. If you see him, tell him Grandma is only marrying Mr. Skinner for his microwave. (Little boy to Joel) Joel, we're talking sex here, pure and simple. It may be a lot of things, but it's not sweet. What Ingrid and I have is comparable to a fully loaded X15, firing at 57,000 pounds of thrust. (Maurice to Joel) Okay, okay. You win. I'm spooked. I admit it - I'm officially unsettled. I give up! It's not worth it. I have my pride, but I'll be damned if I'm going to die for it. (Joel to Marilyn) Look, I know how much you like it here, and how great everyone thinks you are, but there has been a change of plans. I don't know how to spring this on you, but we've run into a little scheduling problem. I'm only sorry you couldn't stay longer. I'm sure there's a doctor in Yellow Knife or something who will need a substitute. Well. Take care. If you find yourself in Cicely, don't be a stranger. Bye, Dave! (Joel ushers Dave out of the office)

2.05 Spring Break Storylines ---------- Holling tries to pick a fight. Sexual tension is high. Sgt. Semanski investigates stolen radios. Music ----- 1. Lindsey Buckingham: D.W. Suite (Go Insane) (Scenes of melting snow, Running of the Bulls) Quotes ------ If we go, go insane We can all go together In this wild, wanton world We can all break down forever... (Lindsey Buckingham song) That's a song we can all relate to this time of year. Spring is about to spring. Persephone is coming back and here in Cicely, the ice is groaning, about to break with the exquisite and deafening roar. It's a time for madness; a time for our fangs to come down and our eyes to glaze over so that the beast in us can sing with unmitigated joy. Oh yes, ecstasy, I welcome thee! (Chris in the morning) It seems the meltdown causes some criminal insanity; but it's only temporary. You're saying someone got spring fever, so they stole my radio? Yeah. Last year it was hair dryers. ... Joel, aside from this one annual deviation, Cicely is crime free. (Maurice to Joel, after Joel's radio is stolen) If you bring in cops, I guarantee you're going to get robbers. Hey, don't get zen on me. I have been violated! (Maurice explains to Joel why they have no police) Holling sure is cute when he's out to kick butt. I'd like to jump his bones, but I've got this thing ... What thing? (Shelly shows Marilyn _The Rainbow_ by D.H. Lawrence So, now what? Let's do it! Here? Now? In the middle of my subconscious with all the lights on? You're shy... No, I'm extremely self-conscious. Better? Yeah, if I can just get my pupils to dilate. Where are you? (The lights go out in Joel's dream) Listen, "Inarticulate, he moved with her at the marsh in violent, gloomy, wordless passion, almost in hatred of her 'til gradually she became aware of him, aware of herself with regard to him. Her blood stirred to life, she began to open towards him; to flow towards him again. He waited 'til the spell was between them again, 'til they were together within one rushing, hastening flame." What's that all about? Sex. (Shelly reads from "The Rainbow" to Joel) Thank you, Mr. Sendak, for reminding us that we should never lose touch with the wild and untamable spirit within us all. Mayhem has gotten a bad rap and chaos has taken it on the chin in these pathologically normal and rational times. Even up here in Alaska, we're turning our back on the beast. We've opted for the zoo, where the lion can't eat you instead of the jungle, where he can. Quelle Dommage. What a drag. (Chris, after reading "Where the Wild Things Are") I need to cause some pain. I need to feel my fist smashing into a mouthful of teeth. I need to hurt somebody. I'd like to help you out Holling, but I've got a five hundred dollar deductible on my medical insurance. (Holling to bar guest, trying to pick a fight) Look, why don't you call me Maurice? And Sergeant Semanski is an awful mouthful...what's your first name? Officer. (Maurice tries to befriend Sgt. Semanski) When that thief stole into my house, took my property, I felt personally violated. You see, I've always been a pilot, not only in the physical sense, but in the metaphysical, spiritual sense as well. I've always lived my life as if I were on one long sortie with me and only me always in control. But, suddenly, I've got this need to take a back seat and turn the controls over to you, Barbara. (Maurice comes on to Barbara) It's a random pattern. That's the pattern. (Ed to Joel, the the pattern of radios stolen) Well, spring sprang. We've had our state of grace and our little gift of sanctioned madness, courtesy of Mother Nature. Thanks, Gaia. Much obliged. (Chris on the air) Just tell me why you did it. Wildness, Ed. We're running out of it, even up here in Alaska. People need to be reminded that the world is unsafe and unpredictable, and at a moment's notice, they could lose everything, like that. I do it to remind them that chaos is always out there, lurking beyond the horizon. That, plus, sometimes, Ed, sometimes you have to do something bad, just to know you're alive. (Ed & Chris, on the stolen radios) Let me give it to you straight. I could never respect a man who did my ironing. (Barbara is cool to Maurice) I'm with a patient, I see your thigh! I'm driving to work, I want your toes in my mouth! You told me it was going to stop when the ice broke! (A sexually exasperated Joel to Maggie) You don't smoke! You hate smoking! You always get onto me when I light up. I smoke sometimes...especially after a good conversation. (Maggie to Joel, after relieving themselves of the tension) You're going to run out that door, down Main Street out to Highway One, in front of God and everybody in near freezing temperatures with absolutely nothing on?! (Joel learns the truth about the running of the bulls)

2.06 War and Peace Storylines ---------- Ed romances Lightfeather Duncan. Nikolai visits Cicely. Quotes ------ This is considered a spectator sport? I've had more fun watching slush melt. (Joel on chess) Should I compare you to my Harley Hog? You are more lovely and powerful too...Your chrome dual exhaust, the curve of your fenders, the muscle in your engine. I want to ride you over mountains, through blizzards, across sandy deserts. I want to feel your hot, roaring, fuel-injected machinery under me. I want to ride you, ride you, ride you forever. (Lightfeather to Ed, reciting the letter) You know, when I was a kid, I broke my leg and had to have a cast on for six months. It itched like crazy. I was always sticking this stick down there, you know, to itch it? I thought THAT felt good. (Ed on sex) When was the last time you knew a guy who was willing to get his brains blown out over nothing? (Shelly to Joel, admiring Nikolai) It's time I broke out and did the wild thing, like Tolstoy. (Holling to Shelly, planning to kill a moose) I want the WORDS...I thought a motorcycle was just a motorcycle. (Lightfeather to Chris) Why don't we go on to the next scene? It's a pretty good one. (Marilyn, at the duel) I didn't need to go out there and kill anything, I just needed to go out there. (Holling to Shelly, returning from his hunt) Are you flirting with me? No! I'm just merely saying that beneath that whiny, abrasive exterior of yours I sometimes get a glimpse of the teensiest, eensy bit of something...almost manly. (Maggie and Joel)

2.07 Slow Dance Storylines ---------- Rick "leaves" Cicely. Ron and Erick move to Cicely. Quotes ------ Today, a belated apology to the much maligned chicken little. It turns out you were right--the sky is falling. The National Space Administration informs us that Uncle Sam's Com-Sat 4 satellite is in a rapidly decaying orbit. That's their way of saying a ton of angry space trash is heading back home at fifteen thousand miles an hour. What does that make me think of? Makes me think of a triceratops, innocently munching a palm frond when out of the sky, whammo, a meteor sucker punches old mother Earth. Next thing you know, that triceratops, along with a hundred and seventy-five million years of dinosaur evolution, is nothing but history. To that unsung triceratops and all its kin, here's a song for you... (Chris on the air) No offense, but I personally prefer to fly with a pilot that can see the full spectrum of colors, much in the same way if I were having neurosurgery I'd like to have a doctor with ten fingers. Still, you gotta wonder. If O'Connell would do that to a boyfriend; what would she do to someone she kept her clothes on with? (Joel to Rick, on Maggie flunking Rick) Just for my own curiosity, as a physician with an interest in aberrant psychological behavior, now why would you do such a thing? (Joel to Maggie, on why she flunked Rick) I get it. It's the dead boyfriend thing! The jinx, the curse, they all croak on you. You think Rick's doomed! (Joel to Maggie) It's like Rick and the satellite, they, they.... merged, fused, combined into one. (Joel and Maurice find Rick) Boy, Rick sure was lucky. Lucky? He's dead! Yeah, but how many people get to get hit by a satellite. I'll bet he makes the Guiness Book of World Records. (Ed and Joel observe Rick) It's kind of hard to tell where Rick stops and the satellite begins. (Ed) Rick crawled up on the roof... (Joel tells Maggie about Rick, in a joke) Reminds me of Abe Kellogg, when he got caught in the machinery at the cannery. They had to recall 100 cases of salmon. I'll never forget that funeral, watching them lower all those little baby cans into the ground. (Anita and Holling share memories) When I heard about Rick, the first thing I thought was, "Klaatu, Barada, Nikto," those immortal words that toggled off the robot gort in "The Day the Earth Stood Still". When that movie was made, robots were just the stuff of fiction. But hey, not any more. Artificial intelligence, robotics, bio-implants...Not only are we making smart machines, we're becoming smart machines. So what's that got to do with Rick, you say? Well, I'm thinking he might just be the next step in this evolutionary process. Yesterday, when that sweet flower of NASA's imagination married Rick, he crossed the line between man and machine. He became the future, homo novus, the new man. Rick, here's one for you--"Telstar" by the English Tornadoes. (Chris on the air) Maurice Minnifield has never had an impure thought about another man in his life. Well, there was one unsettling dream where I was wrestling with David Niven; but I swear to you - NOTHING happened! (Maurice to Chris, on homosexuals) They thought you were gay? Then you had better hold on to this stuff. The thing is, you don't want to appear to be overreacting. You want to present an image of a man who's comfortable with his sexuality. It's a cliche, Maurice, but men who are freaked by homosexuals, well, they usually have some tendencies in that direction themselves. (Chris to Maurice, on homosexuals) A funeral is more for the survivors than anybody else. In this case, that's Maggie, who's been a survivor more times than she'd care to count. I know you all remember Rick's predecessor Dave. He fell asleep on a glacier and froze to death. But before Dave there was Glenn, and Glenn and his Volvo took a wrong turn and ended up on a missile test range. And then there was Bruce, victim of a terrible fishing accident. And then there was Harry. Remember Harry? He died when he was out...uh...umm...how was it? Picnic. At a picnic. Picnic. Right. Potato salad. You know, some people could look at this string of five deaths and say, "Hey, this is weird. Something's going on here." But I want to say, Maggie, on behalf of us all: we don't think it's your fault. We don't believe in any curse. Right everybody? Come on, you can do better than that. Right everybody? (Chris leads the funeral) There is a lot more to life than nookie! (Shelly to Holling) Are you suggesting that Bill and I have an affair? Well, the truth is, Maggie, I can't stand to look at him. You want me to kill him? Just date him - let nature take its course. (Maggie reacts to a woman's suggestion) I don't want somebody just to talk to. Good Lord, Shelly, two people can only talk so much. Then what? There's got to be more. Something to do after you're done talking. I don't care about your mind. I want you for your body. (Holling to Shelly) As a doctor, as a man of science, I can tell you there is no such thing as curses! Everything just happens as a question of probability. The statistical likelihood of a specific event. For instance, if a man falls asleep on a glacier, it is highly probable he will freeze to death. Likewise, if a man sits on a mountainside, there is some probability, albeit slight, that he will get hit by a satellite. Your having a relationship with those men is inconsequential; it simply does not enter into the equation. (Joel to Maggie) If you don't dance with me, O'Connell, you know what you are doing? You're turning your back on reason, on mankind's struggle to pull itself out of the mire of ignorance and superstition. You are saying "yes" to witchhunters and inquisitors; you are slamming the door on enlightenment, and you are inviting back the Dark Ages. Now I am not doing this for you, O'Connell, I am doing this for civilization. What do you say? Pretty please? (Joel invites Maggie to dance)
