The Physician Page #2

Have you never looked?

- I can slice you up after breakfast.

- No, I mean like in dead people.

Don't you ever talk about that again.

Never!

Do you know what the church does to

necromancers?

Burn them at the stake.

Stop talking about the side sickness. It

won't bring your mother back.

Not another word. Never.

Pliers!

Open your mouth.

More light.

Hold down on him.

Holy earth from the Mount of Olives.

Stir it in your mead and swallow

it in one gulp.

Have you forgotten how to drink, lad?

I'll remind you.

Like that, boy.

Like that.

The farmer with the tooth.

- Death is coming for him.

- Death is coming for all of us.

Nah, I felt it.

- You felt death?

- Yes.

Death won't trouble him over a toothache.

My apprentice thinks it's the suicide.

When is my husband coming back

from war?

War, not too soon I hope.

What will harvest be like this year?

[villager]That's them, the devils!

You there!

- Murderers!

- You need to give us some answers.

In the morning this poor soul went to

work in the field.

At noon he went to see you to cure

his aching tooth.

By evening, he breathed his last.

[Barber]Run away!

You bewitched this poor man with

black magic.

You trespassed against the Lord and

THE CHURCH!!

You owe my sister a husband.

It might be hard if he's as ugly as

you are.

Get him!

I think you'll live another

hundred years.

I told you to run.

I'll start on the roof tomorrow.

Then what?

- They'll heal.

- Not before we starve.

- You should go.

- And leave you to the wolves?

I can always beg for alms outside

the church.

- Yeah, and in winter?

- I'll make a nice meal for the crows.

At least then this miserable life

of mine would be over.

Then the world would lose a

great barber.

You're not listening boy!

I can't even hold a pair of

tooth pliers.

I could hold them for you.

I've been watching you all these years.

You've also been watching the clouds.

Doesn't mean you can make it rain.

[Barber] I've seen ugly giants.

I've seen greedy dwarfs.

And just the other day I had to fight

a fire spitting dragon...

with me own two hands.

But nowhere, nowhere have I had

the pleasure of...

looking out upon a crowd of prettier girls.

This will stop your wife from bringing

more brats to the world.

- Mother have mercy on me.

- [Barber] Who wants to be healed?

Save me from soiling myself from fear.

Come into the house of wonders. Come in.

Put the lad on the table.

- Bone saw.

- Oh, bone saw.

- All toes gotta come off.

- All toes

He'll lose his leg.

Here. Put this in your mouth, lad.

Bite down.

Iron.

Iron.

- Iron!

- Talking about the iron!

Is it hot?

How many times has your apprentice

done this?
