Synopsis: Leaping from one woman to the next, Sam is having himself a good ‘ol time! Sam is seated at a microphone and is being asked a sex question via a speaker in a soundproof booth in a radio station. Being the prude his is, he is shocked until he glances up at a mirror and sees DR. RUTH! ‘OH BOY’! He tells Al that he has to get him out of here. Hummm … where have we heard that before? This would be a heavenly job for Al. But he is too busy in the waiting room talking with Dr. Ruth, or Dr. Ruthie as he is so affectionately calling her. She is helping him work through his problems with women. Doug, the announcer, and Debbie, the producer, are constantly arguing. Dr. Ruth says they are perfect for each other, and that’s why Sam is there. But Sam says he’s there to help Annie? Neither one of them know the real reason. Annie is a secretary for a law firm in Manhattan; someday she wants to be a lawyer. Her boss is trying to make a move on her and she is keeping him at bay. She calls Dr. Ruth … ahhh … Sam to get some advice. Her boss, Jonathan, eventually assaults her. Sam and Al come to her rescue.

Are you there? … (Do you want me to repeat the) question?" SAM: "No! Don’t repeat it I heard it just fine. The mans … size of his foot … you know … clowns wear really big shoes." Woman Caller: "The guy I’m dating has very small feet." SAM: "Well … ahhh … my feet … [laughs] … of course I would do … who would want to know about Dr. … Ruth’s feet. But I have a friend who has … n … could we go to the next caller please?" Man Caller: "This is Tony from Lindenhurst. I really dig your show." SAM: "Thank you Tony." Man Caller: "I got this problem with my girlfriend, no matter where we go she always puts her hands on my crotch." SAM: "Hummm … ahhh … have you tried just holding hands." Man Caller: "Well she does it when I’m driving on the turnpike!" SAM: "Make her sit in the back seat! NEXT!" [Sam is getting very agitated and just throwing answers left and right that make no sense … LOL] Debbie: "What has gotten into her?" Doug: "I think it’s funny." Debbie: "You think balancing a spoon on your nose is funny." Doug: "Yah …" SAM: "Yes … what is your problem …" Woman Caller #2: "Well I get orgasms so incredible and overwhelming that I end up pushing my husband out of bed. The last time he got all bruised and scraped. Is there any answer for me?" SAM: "Kneepads! NEXT!" Debbie: "Commercial!" Doug: "She’s on a roll!" Debbie: "I said commercial!" Doug: "Well be right back with Dr. Ruth Westheimer after these important messages." Debbie: "Are you all right Ruth?" SAM: "I’m … I’m fine … don’t worry about me!" [You hear the IC door open] AL: "Kneepads? … Kinky!" SAM: "Ahhh … have you been here Al … listening in?" AL: "Yah … I’ve heard a little of it." [Smiling] SAM: "I’ve gotta get outta here fast!" AL: "Why? This sounds like a great leap to me! You just sit here and ya talk about sex!" SAM: "NO!" AL: "Sam, look at it … as a learning experience." SAM: "It may sound like fun to you … but it’s not for me! They’re asking some very embarrassing questions!" AL: "Sam, sex is not dirty. It’s a very natural thing. Being frank about it and educating your children to be morally responsible and safe … is better than … sweeping it under the rug." [He says this line with a weird accent – I have now idea what he was trying to do here???] SAM: "That’s a … pretty mature attitude … coming from someone like you." [Looking at Al with his mouth open and a quizzical look on his face] AL: "Oh it’s not coming from me, its coming for the real Dr. Ruth in the waiting room. But you remember it until Ziggy can figure out … why you’re here." SAM: "No Al you can’t leave! You’re … you’re an expert on this kind of stuff! You gotta help me answer these questions!" AL: "No you’re doing fine." SAM: "No I’m not doing fine! You gotta stay here and help me answer these questions!" AL: "Oh hey … you know the question about the shoe size?"
