The Man with Two Brains Page #3

Synopsis: Recently widowed Doctor Michael Hfuhruhurr, the world's greatest neurosurgeon, injures Dolores Benedict in a car accident. He operates on her and saves her life using a technique of his own invention: cranial screw-top brain entry. As Benedict recovers, Hfuhruhurr falls in love with her and they are soon married. However, Benedict is only interested in Hfuhruhurr's money and Hfuhruhurr still yearns for his previous wife. They travel to Vienna to attend a medical conference where Hfuhruhurr finally divorces Dolores, meets a mysterious Doctor Alfred Necessiter and becomes entangled in a series of murders committed by The Elevator Killer.

I shouldn't have gotten up.

But I wanted to surprise you...

...and walk into your arms

tonight when you came home.

You walked, you walked, you walked.

I love you so much.

Who is that man out there?

Juan. He works for Ramon.

He frightened me.

He's just a big,

good-natured bag of muscles.

There's just something about him

that makes me quiver.

- Is he here often?

- Just one day a week.

- What day?

- Tuesday.

Is he ever alone?

I mean, does Ramon ever go off...

...and leave him here alone?

- Sometimes. Why?

I'd like to know.

Please, tell Ramon to warn me...

...when he's going to leave me alone

with that Juan person.

All right,

if that'll make you feel better.

That'll make me feel much better.

Frightened little mouse.

I'll tell Ramon.

Don't worry about Juan.

Ramon?

- Michael. How is married life?

- I don't know!

I'm sorry. I've been on edge

the last couple of weeks.

I don't know what I'm doing.

Michael!

See? That's a perfect example.

God, I almost peed in the scrub basin.

I don't know why I've been so tense.

Maybe it's your coffee.

No.

When a woman who's just had

major brain surgery...

...tells you she has a headache,

you've gotta listen.

Patience. A recently married woman

and an eager young husband...

It won't be long before

you hear her say:

"Take me, take me."

Take me.

Take me.

You're through.

- I don't think I am.

- Not you.

- By the way, I fired Ramon yesterday.

- Ramon? But...

Ramon is such a fine man.

What did he do?

He came up behind me,

and he grabbed my breasts.

What?

I haven't even done that yet.

I know. I told him that.

- You told him?

- He said he had to measure me...

...for a new dashboard ornament. He

told me he had to measure Rebecca...

...a lot before he got her right.

Oh, you're upset.

So am I.

I want to be everything to you

Rebecca was.

I want to give you everything

she gave you.

Do everything she did.

- When can you start?

- How soon can you get home?

Well, I have two operations.

But I can do them fast,

they're just brain operations.

Let me get my hat

and my briefcase.

Would you walk me to the door?

What's he doing?

Two brain operations

at the same time.

Number eleven blade.

- Ten-blade scalpel.

- Ten blade.

Ready the bone wax.

- Metzenbaum scissors.

- Metzenbaum scissors.

- Get that cat out of here.

- Yes, sir.

We're ready to close.

Cranial Screwtops.

Check for stripping.

Take them to SICU.

- You're so early.

- Yes.

Take off your coat.

And your paper hat.

I'm chilling some wine for us.

Why don't you open it?

Yes.

Does this do anything for you?

- Oh, yes.

- Good.

I want our first night together

to be exciting.
