schedule right here,

I can be in Topeka tonight.

- You will be taking a train.

- Perfect...

Second class.

And this is not a full time job offer,

it is a one shot consultation.

- See you soon.

- Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Topeka!

On behalf of the

Veterans Administration

and the Winter Hospital staff

I'd like to welcome our newcomers.

Men, we have lots of telephones...

You have to take this.

... encourage you to stay in touch

with your loved ones and

they are free at cost.

If you have any questions about

your compensation or your disability

let us know and we'll

help to the best we can.

We have incoming mail at 8

and mail goes out at 4.

There is a bus definitely twice a day.

If you have any questions,

my door is always open.

Feel free to come and we'll take

care of whatever issues you have.

- What the f***.

- Come on.

- Come on, get him off!

- Take it up!

Somebody call the duty doctors.

A chance for your light?

That kid scared you

a little, didn't he?

I don't know what I'm doing here.

I can't say grobal.

Boilermaker, please.

Can I see your ID?

If the cops show up, you're Mexican.

So, where were you?

Army, Navy?

Army.

You're at the hospital

for busted heads, right?

I'm in the dark there.

Nobody tells me a f***ing thing.

You a Pawnee?

Can't be.

'Cause I'd know you.

What you doing in Topeka?

I have never seen an Indian

nurse at the Winter Hospital.

You must be a labourer.

10 o'clock curfew?

Baby got to go to bed?

Rise and shine!

What's the matter boys?

Time to clean up.

Wakey! Wakey!

Was it necessary?

The alcohol and the tranquilizers.

I couldn't take that chance.

Do Indians commit suicide?

I don't know.

The ticket, please sir.

- Your ticket.

- Uh, of course. Where did I put that?

This?

No. Here it is.

Welcome to the Wild West!

It's good to see you again, Devereux.

Your client is no piece of cake.

He hasn't spoken one

word in two weeks.

Yesterday he went into town and

came back dead drunk,

with a bottle of liquor.

Which have been to closest to war...

- He was violent?

- Oh no.

The guy was very quiet.

Behold our Indian brave!

You already know Dr. Jokl,

our psychiatrist, and Dr. Holt.

This is Dr. Devereux.

Good morning.

He came from New York just for you.

To record, push down.

Oh thank you.

I don't think we will need it.

Have a nice chat.

You can have a seat if you wish.

May I introduce myself.

I am the hospital anthropologist.

I am interested in Indians.

And if you don't mind,

I'd like to find out

a few things about you.

What is your Indian name?

Oh-Gunidep-Puyop.

Oh, I don't speak Pikunni.

May I ask you what it means?

"Everybody talks about him."
