First, a bit of
the old succinylcholine. . .
:06:06
. . .to permit one to work
without annoying distractions.
:06:12
Then a 3-foot catheter. . .
:06:17
. . .threaded directly into
the inferior vena cava. . .
:06:22
. . .or the superior vena cava.
lt's a matter of taste.
:06:26
Then the tube moves
through the vein. . .
:06:29
. . .under the crease of the arm, into
the vein that leads into the heart.
:06:35
And then you just hold up the legs
and you squeeze the blood manually. . .
:06:41
. . .into the tube
from the arms and the legs.
:06:45
There's shaking and pounding at
the end for the dregs. lt isn't perfect.
:06:50
There's a little blood left,
l'm afraid.
:06:54
But, regardless. . .
:06:56
. . .the overall effect is astonishing.
:07:01
lsn't that really
what counts in the end?
:07:05
Yes, of course. Good show biz,
lieutenant. The effect!
:07:10
And then. . .
:07:13
. . .off comes the head without
spilling one single drop of blood.
:07:19
Now, l call that
showmanship, lieutenant.
:07:24
Then of course, no one notices.
Pearls before--
:07:33
Oh, a few boos from the gallery,
l see.
:07:38
That's all right. l understand.
:07:42
l've been dull.
:07:45
Well, l shall liven things up
for you a bit, lieutenant.
:07:51
The master is throwing me
a scrap from his table.
:07:57
A little reward for faithful service.
