Basket Case Page #2

Oh, my goodness, I'm sorry!

I just assumed...

Oh, I didn't think you were a patient.

I'm expecting someone to fix

the typewriter this afternoon,

and I just thought, I figured that

was your toolbox or something.

Dr. Needleman is an

old friend of the family.

Is there any chance I could

see him without an appointment?

He'll tell you no,

friend of the family or not!

But as you can see, we have hundreds

of patients waiting to see him.

So we'll just pretend you did call

and have an appointment

for... 11:
30...

You're next!

Thanks!

What's your name?

Duane Bradley.

Oh, but don't write that ...!

I want to surprise him, and he'd

recognize that name right away.

Put down something like... Smith,

Duane Smith.

He'll appreciate this.

He's a million laughs.

Okay and you fill out the rest.

What's in the basket?

Easter eggs?

Just visiting New York or ...?

Yes, this is my first time.

So have you gone to the Empire State

Building yet and the Statue of Liberty?

No, I haven't had time.

Haven't had the time?

What about the Radio City

Music Hall? Or the UN?

- Had time for them?

- No, I...

What about the World Trade Towers?

Or the Trolley-cars?

- It's not that I don't want to, but...

- The Met?

The Cloisters?

Grummans Chinese?

It's just that I don't

know where anything is.

Oh, if you need a Tour Guide

I'd be happy to volunteer...

Or even buy you some 3D postcards

and an "I Love New York" T-shirt.

You're next!

Come in.

Yes, sir...

Smith.

Smith.

All right.

Mr. Smith...

What seems to be the problem?

My chest.

I've got this pain and...

Well, why not you put

whatever that is down,

take off your shirt,

step in there and see.

So, what did he give you?

48 hours to live?

No. We just had a nice chat.

- Was he surprised?

- Oh, yeah. Very.

Anyway. Coming back to what

we were talking about before,

I get off here tonight at 7:00.

Feeling keen?

Well, I'd like to...

But I can't.

Not tonight.

Can't say I didn't try.

- Can I call you tomorrow?

- 233-3000.

He doesn't have hours on Wednesday.

I have the whole day free.

- Where do you live?

- I'll write it down.

It's all the way downtown.

Why are we whispering?

- I don't want him to hear.

- Who? Does the doctor?

I'll see you later.

Lifflander.

Not now.

Not yet.

Save it.

- That was delicious.

- So are you.

Come on, have some more!

No, really.

I've had enough.

Nonsense!

We're just beginning.

Listen, if I have any more,

I won't be liable to...

That's alright, I like you drunk.

You're cute when you slobber.

Sh*t!

Excuse me for a minute, love.

Dr. Kutter speaking.

- This is Needleman.

- Who?

Harold, I thought I made it clear,

you weren't to call me again, ever.
