:11:00
Of course. And I am puzzled
by your delay in bringing her here.

:11:05
Her illness was grossly neglected,
I don't understand why this occurred.

:11:10
We didn't know she was so sick.
:11:13
I think normal powers of observation
night have suggested it to you.

:11:20
Rose hid it from us.
She's afraid of the hospital.

:11:25
Afraid of the hospital?
:11:27
Deathly afraid. Her people are poor
farmers, she doesn't know medicine.

:11:33
That girl is a product
of the hookworm and pellagra belt?

:11:39
Yes. She's from a poor dirt farm.
:11:42
I find that unbelievable.
:11:44
Aside from her illness at the moment,
she is very strong.

:11:48
and a splendid specimen
of a young human female.

:11:53
And a comely one.
:11:56
She has the figure of a Venus do Milo.
:11:59
She definitely got protein as a child.
:12:02
Rose is an amazing girl.
:12:05
We took her to our dentist.
She had perfect teeth. No cavities!

:12:10
Just so.
:12:11
You don't get perfect teeth
eating sorghum syrup and hoecake.

:12:16
She had protein. Which also accounts
for her superb aeriferous endowment.

:12:21
Her what?
:12:24
Lung capacity, sir.
:12:26
That's why I believe she will survive,
despite delay in medical treatment.

:12:32
That's all I want to know.
:12:34
Thank you for your discourse, Doctor.
Very interesting, I'm sure.

:12:38
Now let's get out of here
before I get the epizootics myself.

:12:44
Thank you, Doctor.
:12:46
I beg you pardon..."Epi-zoo-tics"?
:12:49
You mean "Epi-zo-o-tics"?
An animal epidemic?

:12:52
No, I mean epi-zoo-tics.
:12:59
Telling me about epizootics!
They oughtta hang that polecat!
