Patch Adams Page #2
May I come in ?
If you bend your medial
collateral ligaments...
and place one talus
in front of another...
I don't see where
you'd have a problem.
Of course, if there were a news story
covering this event...
The fingers.
What's the answer ?
Oh, you're another one of
who always know the right answer,
is that it ?
Welcome to real life.
How many do you see ?
- There are four fingers, Arthur.
- No, no, no. Look at me.
What ?
Y-You're focusing
on the problem.
If you focus on the problem,
you can't see the solution.
Never focus on the problem.
Look at me !
How many do you see ?
No, look beyond the fingers.
How many do you see ?
Eight.
Eight. Eight.
Yes ! Yes !
Eight's a good answer.
Yes.
See what no one else sees.
See what everyone else
chooses not to see...
out of fear
and conformity and laziness.
each day.
Ah, the truth is,
you're well on the way.
If you didn't
see something here...
besides a crazy,
bitter old man...
you wouldn't have come
in the first place.
What do you see
when you look at me, Arthur ?
You fixed my cup.
I'll see you around...
Patch.
[ Squeaking ]
- Rudy, stop.
You're throwing off
my rhythm.
You'll go blind.
- Please.
- I have to go to the bathroom.
Then go. It's right over there,
- I would, but--
- But what ? The squirrels ?
- How many ?
- There's only one just now.
You can't go to the bathroom
because of one squirrel ?
If I get off the bed,
he'll get the others.
That's not the point.
They're squirrels.
Squirrels, Rudy.
- They're one of the most amiable
creatures on the planet.
- Oh, no, they're not.
On the list of hostile predators,
they're right above the bottom...
just above baby chicks
and slugs.
What could they possibly want ?
Your nuts ?
- Do you think ?
- Oh, Rudy.
- Come on, I'll take you.
- [ Whispers ] Don't move.
- Don't move.
- Another one ?
It's on the end of your bed,
on the rail.
Be careful.
It's gonna jump.
[ Blows ]
- There's one, at the end of the bed !
- Bang !
- There's one runnin'
across the sprinkler !
- [ Imitates Shotgun Cocking ]
- Boom !
- In back of the door !
Back of the door !
- [ Imitating Machine Gun Fire ]
- Coming out of the bathroom !
Bathroom ! Bathroom !
Bathroom ! Bathroom !
- Yea !
Eat lead, fur bag !
Blam ! Ha-ha !
- You're cured-- Aaah !
- You've got one on your shoulder !
- Get it off me ! Get it off me !
- [ Shouting ]
- Get it off me ! Aaaah !
We need more cover !
They're comin' in the back door !
