to keep it going for the minute.

You spoilsport.

Hm.

I see you...

(WATSON MUMBLING)

(MACHINE BLEEPING)

(WATSON CONTINUES MUMBLING)

WATSON:
I see you.

Jesus Christ.

You scared the sh*t out of me.

I've sort of been

expecting you recently

for some reason, uh, doctor...

Uh, Dr. Faust.

ADAM:
It's good to see you

again too, Dr. Watson.

(CLEARS THROAT)

You know, uh, this whole setup

is a bit unnerving for me.

Wouldn't you consider meeting

somewhere outside the

hospital sometime

instead of just

appearing unexpectedly

like a phantom?

ADAM:

That would require prearrangement.

Yeah, and it would be safer for me.

ADAM:
I like to come to the source.

Besides, the mutual jeopardy

makes me feel safer.

If you'll excuse me.

I don't have any spare time.

Right.

Well, then, let me get

you what you desire,

uh, Dr. Strangelove.

Type O negativo.

Mm-hm.

By the way, that stethoscope

of yours

is for all practical

purposes, an antique.

It's from the 1970s.

Maybe even the '60s.

Is it?

(SIGHS)

Cat gotta be from Cleveland.

(PHONE RINGING)

Yeah.

Adam.

Eve.

Hey, darling.

- I wanna see you.

- I wanna see you too.

What is that? That you scrabbling

about with all your wires

- and knobs, my little pack rat?

- Yeah, one second. I just...

I just...

Hello.

There you are.

Hello, sweetheart.

- What is it? You look tired.

- Do I?

- Hm.

- I guess I am, a little, yeah.

Any supply problems?

No.

So, what is this, then?

Can you tell your wife

what your problem is?

It's these zombies

and the way they treat the world.

I just feel like all the sand's

at the bottom of the hourglass,

or something.

Time to turn it over, then.

Oh, my liege lord.

We've been here before.

Remember?

You missed all the real fun, like

the Middle Ages, the Tartars,

the Inquisitions.

The floods, the plagues.

Well, how about your music?

I seem to be...

(GUITAR PLAYS NOTE)

Writing a lot of

funeral music. Heh.

Oh, my darling. Why don't you

just come here and kiss me?

You used to love Tangier.

You loved the music.

Oh, f***.

All right.

I'll come.

But I can't believe you're

doing this to me again.

It's just the traveling

that's such a drag.

Eve...

I love you so much.

I'll take that for the journey.

(KISS)

(SIGHS)

(PLAYING SOFT ROCK MUSIC)

(SOFT ROCK MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING)

(DOORBELL RINGS)

(MUSIC STOPS)

F***ing hell.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

(CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY)

(CAR DRIVING AWAY)

(SNIFFING)

(PLAYING CLASSICAL MUSIC)

Yes. And is there a possibility of a

night flight from Tangier to Paris?

Yes, that would work.

And then flying the following night

from Paris to Detroit, is that correct?
