Brute Force Page #3

Good day.

Doctor.

I'll see you to the gate, sir.

I've been warden here

for such a long time.

I wouldn't know where to go...

what to do.

- The place looks so nice now.

- Oh, that's swell.

- I got flower drapes and big chairs...

- The boy doesn't know anything about it.

- Fine, fine.

- And if he did...

- She loves to come to see you.

- It's good she's so young.

She thinks it's such fun, like a holiday.

Over there. Your attorney.

- Ruth?

- She won't go through with it.

- But she's got to.

- I've had three different doctors to see her.

They've all tried to explain how

important an operation is, right away.

But she keeps saying no,

not unless you're there.

Nothing matters to Ruth without you, Joe.

Not even her life.

How long has she got?

I don't know.

Let me tell her you're here.

- No.

- She loves you, Joe.

- She'll understand.

- No.

Okay. I guess you know

what you're doing.

Go back and talk to her. Try to make her

go through with it. Keep tryin'.

- All right, Joe.

- Wait.

- Get some cash. Keep it in your office.

- What are you going to do?

There's not much I can do, is there?

I'm not trying to interfere.

I'm just saying that if you send Roberts

back to the drainpipe, I won't...

All right, Munsey, have it your way.

- Doc.

- Joe.

They letting you run around loose?

I'm waitin' to be reclassified.

Munsey'll find another job for me.

He always has.

Well, sit down.

Be with you in a second.

Glad you dropped in.

A patient of mine, old Pat Regan,

wants to see you.

There's a pass to the infirmary

right there on the table.

Thanks.

- Doc.

- Yeah?

How quick will cancer kill somebody?

Well, that's the wrong way

to put the question.

These days, cancer doesn't

have to mean death at all. Why?

Well, uh, how about

if they have to operate?

Even so, it depends entirely on the case.

The important thing, of course,

is the time element.

- Somebody close?

- Yeah.

By the way, what time is it?

- About 10:
30.

- Are you sure?

To be exact, it's 10:27.

Why?

Wilson, 10:
30.

Wilson, 10:
30.

Wilson, 10:
30.

Did I ever tell you about

that last limousine of mine?

Beautiful... and roomy.

Listen, that car was so long, when I picked

up the phone to talk to the chauffeur...

I had to call long-distance.

Strangely enough,

had this same number on it.

Keep movin'.

Wilson, 10:
30.

Wilson, 10:
30.

- Where are you goin'?

- Just to get a drink, Wilson.

Hey!

Help! Help!

He made me do it!

He made me do it!

No, don't! Stay away from me!

Captain Munsey made me do it!

You guys would have

done the same thing!

Please!

Dr. Walters.

Yes, Warden.

What?

Yes, yes. I'll be right over.

Warden, when did it happen?
