What Steve Martin movie is this?

What was that Steve Martin movie?

I was in class the other day and the professor showed a clip from a Steve Martin movie. In the clip Martin encounters an injured/unconscious person and then quite comically gives very detailed emergency instructions to a little girl passerby. The girl of about four is told some contact numbers, which hospital to call, what anesthesiologist to get, what the injured person's medical condition is, etc. and then (for the funny part) repeats it all back to Martin.

What is this movie? The professor didn't mention the title. I asked several of my classmates and they were clueless as well.

IMHO that scene is some of the best Steve Martin fun around.

Ah man. This was going to be the first time I ever answered one of these kind of questions! Beaten to the punch though...

Just count this as another vote for 'Man with Two Brains', then.
