:21:01
I’d love to.
I can’t afford one.

:21:03
There’s the urine analysis,
:21:05
the chest plates,
the liver function,

:21:07
the blood count,
the electrocardiogram...

:21:09
The Mercedes, the Gucci loafers,
the conventions in Acapulco.

:21:11
I’ve never been to Acapulco.
What are you talking about?

:21:14
As a matter of fact,
you know that...

:21:15
Excuse me. I would
like to ask a question.

:21:18
Would you excuse me?
Thank you.

:21:19
I want to know why, when the
bills come in, it always says:

:21:22
“Make checks payable
to Internal Medicines, Inc.”

:21:25
Or “Surgical Procedures, Inc.”
:21:27
Isn’t there
something peculiar

:21:29
about all these
incorporated doctors?

:21:31
What the hell
is so peculiar...

:21:32
Is it okay to say “hell”?
:21:33
Yes.
You said it before.

:21:34
Thousands of
doctors incorporate.

:21:36
Yes, but...
:21:37
Just one moment please.
Albert Schweitzer didn’t.

:21:39
He was not in our tax bracket.
:21:42
Look, I know that there are
a lot of things wrong

:21:45
with the medical profession.
:21:47
Who said that?
They must be crazy.

:21:48
Believe me,
we are trying to change it,

:21:50
but it must be done slowly
and patiently and tactfully.

:21:54
Tactfully?
Yes.

:21:55
Perhaps you could tell me
what is tactful

:21:57
about a road-traffic accident?
:21:59
If I am smashed to pieces
by a car...

:22:00
That’s very, very provoking.
:22:02
Thank you, Mrs. Atkinson,
Dr. Nichols, Mr. Quinn.

:22:06
Next week,
our program will be

:22:08
Transvestism: Aberration
or Alternate Lifestyle?

:22:13
I didn’t ask
to be born in England.

:22:15
Just as you didn’t ask
to be born in America.

:22:18
What’s left is spiritualism,
or reincarnation, or suttee.

:22:22
What about Indian suttee,
perhaps we could go to India?

:22:25
Your producer friend
was right.

:22:26
You do have a big mouth.
:22:28
Oh, we were just saying
:22:29
you defended
yourself brilliantly.

:22:30
I couldn’t get
a word in edgewise.

:22:32
But when you did,
they were masterful.

:22:34
I wouldn’t go
to masterful.

:22:35
We would, right?
:22:36
Yes, we’ll get
an enormous response.

:22:38
I need more
practice at this.

:22:39
What I need is
a cup of coffee.

:22:41
I’ll buy.
:22:42
Thank you.
:22:46
I’m sorry. I can’t
remember your first name.

:22:49
Ann.
:22:50
I’ve always
liked that name.

:22:51
Thank you, Doctor.
:22:52
Mine’s Charley. Really?
I’ve always liked that name.

:22:55
You’re kidding.
No, it was my mother’s.

:22:58
It’s my own fault.
:22:59
If I hadn’t been
so conscientious,
