Dr. Thorndyke?

Will you be at the Annual Psychiatric

Convention in San Francisco next week?

Yes, I...

I think someone should attend, don't you?

I'd be delighted to have the honor.

I'm sure you'll have a nice time.

Thank you.

Up and down.

Side, side.

In and out.

Side, side.

Up and down.

Side, side.

In and out.

Side, side.

Oh, my God!

"Welcome! The violent ward."

Doc! Is everything all right?

Somebody just threw

an enormous rock through my window.

Jeez!

A guy like that should be put away.

Look at the size of this thing!

Here, let me get rid of it for you. I got it!

I got it!

Brophy, get it tomorrow.

Yeah.

- What was that?

- I don't know.

Come on!

It's coming from Nurse Diesel's room.

Is everything all right in there?

Nurse Diesel! Are you all right?

Yes?

We heard some weird noises emanating

from your room. We were worried.

Weird noises? It was the TV.

Sorry it disturbed you. I've turned it down.

Is there anything else? It is rather late.

No, we were concerned. Good night.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- TV? Well, you could have fooled me.

- Yeah, the TV.

It was probably the TV.

- Good night.

- That was no TV.

- Who was it?

- lt was Thorndyke.

- You're making too much noise.

- I can't help it, you're hurting me.

- You're going too hard tonight.

- Get off it.

I know you better than you know yourself.

You live for bondage and discipline.

Too much bondage. Not enough discipline!

You want discipline?

I'll give you discipline.

Yes!

Yes. I'm sorry!

Yes! It feels so good!

Yes?

Dr. Thorndyke,

Dr. Montague is here to see you.

Please take your hand away

from your nose and say that again.

Dr. Montague is here.

Thank you. Send him in.

Thank you for coming.

I'm sorry I'm late.

It took longer than anticipated

for my rounds this morning.

Please have a seat.

Thanks.

I'm a little disturbed.

Yes, Dr. Thorndyke?

I've studied some of these case histories

and once in a while...

...I come across a patient who behaves

in a rational and normal manner.

Zachary Cartwright IIl, for instance.

It seems his family is paying

$12,000 a month to the Institute.

According to this file

he should have been released months ago.

Well...

These case histories are really so sketchy.

They hardly draw a true picture

of the patient's psychosis.

Cartwright is a perfect example.

One moment he can be

perfectly rational and lucid...

...the next he's a living loony tune.

Do you mind if we examine him together?

He is just outside my door.

Mind? Why should I mind?

After all, you're in charge here.

You can examine anyone you want.

Please send Mr. Cartwright in. Thank you.

Mr. Cartwright, have a seat.
