High Anxiety Page #2

He was going to make

some very big changes around here...

...and then...

Did you see your view outside?

Oh, it is spectacular.

I've been meaning to, but I've been

so busy unpacking I haven't had a chance.

Unpack another time.

Come, Richard, I insist.

You come and see right now!

If you insist.

Come, Richard, this will be

a treat for you. Come, Ja.

Is this not the perfect time

of the day? Look!

- Very nice.

- Come over here. Here you can see better.

- Come.

- lt's beautiful.

Come here to the edge

and you can look down. Look down!

Richard!

My boy, are you all right?

Come back inside, my goodness!

Come over here, sitzen Sie. Goodness me.

Thank you, Professor. I'm sorry.

I don't know what came over me.

I know what came over you.

High Anxiety, you've still got it.

It's probably the excitement and tension

of taking over this new post. I'm...

...sure it will pass.

Bullshit!

These things do not let go.

High Anxiety can be a dangerous enemy.

If left unchecked,

it could cost you your life.

Tomorrow...

First thing tomorrow, we have

our first session of psychoanalysis.

My boy, I have not had you on the couch

for a long time.

My boy, I promise, we will beat this thing.

Goodbye.

But, Professor, it is really nece...

It is "nece." I know what is "nece."

Don't tell me what is "nece."

I tell you what is "nece."

Yes, as I was saying,

it came to my attention that...

...just before Dr. Ashley's untimely death...

...he was planning to make some

very big changes here at the Institute.

Do any of you know specifically

what those changes might be?

Well, for one thing he wanted to change...

The drapes.

The drapes?

The drapes.

He wanted to change the drapes

in the psychotic game room.

That was the extent of the big change?

The drapes?

Yes, Dr. Ashley felt that color...

...has a lot to do with the well-being

of the emotionally disturbed.

To some extent that is true, I imagine.

Only 30 seconds late.

You're so strict.

Gentlemen...

...and Nurse Diesel...

...may I propose a toast?

To our new leader:

Dr. Richard H. Thorndyke.

Long may he reign.

I thank you.

Yes, that's an excellent brandy.

You can tell by just sniffing the aroma.

It's much better

than the brandy we used to have.

Dr. Montague, I'm curious.

What exactly is the rate of patient recovery

here at the Institute?

Rate of patient recovery?

I'll have that for you in a moment.

Once in a blue moon.

Once in a blue moon.

Dr. Thorndyke.

Unfortunately...

...the rate of recovery in the classroom...

...is much higher than it is in real life.

We're dealing with sick people here,

you understand.

Dangerously sick people!
