Captain Newman, M.D. Page #6

My ward and all the others

are shorthanded, too.

Well, I'll tell you what.

We'll make a deal.

The very next orderly

that checks in...

You'll let us have him.

Now what could be

fairer than that?

The next two.

A deal?

A deal.

I'm due back.

Oh, Corum, I wouldn't stew

about that Leibowitz thing.

You'll get the next

orderly that comes in,

if I have to deliver

him to you personally.

A pair of them are

due in the morning.

Mmm-mmm.

They're arriving at

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Call on me anytime.

Did you get

Haskell's lab report?

I sent Arkie for it.

You know,

this stuff is A, B, C.

I don't know why they make

such a big thing about it.

Leibowitz, since when does

a corporal send a sergeant

on an errand?

Don't answer that.

Since Leibowitz

came to Ward 7.

What do you mean,

A, B, C?

You went to

medical school for this?

Well, it helped

fill in some time.

I was small for my age.

You see, Captain,

it's simple,

if you're good with people.

You see, I was always

good with people.

Even in the fifth grade

the kids used to open up

to me.

"Jake, what should I do?

"l feel lousy,

I feel great, I feel funny,

I'm all mixed-up.

"Jake, what's

happening to me?"

You see, in my group,

I was the unofficial couch.

Captain, I could

write one of these.

Will you autograph me

a copy of the book when

you get around to it?

Sarcasm is for children.

From a psychiatrist

I expect honestness.

"Honesty," Jake,

not "honestness."

So flunk me in English.

Get Lieutenant Corum

in Ward 4 on the phone.

You want me to phone?

Yes, if you're not

required in surgery.

(SWING MUSIC PLAYING)

I hope you're thirsty.

Mmm-hmm.

Ordered it in advance.

Here, I'll do that.

Thank you very much.

Thanks.

Since when does

the Blue Grotto serve

imported champagne?

Since Leibowitz

came to Ward 7.

I don't know

where he got it,

and I've learned not

to ask any questions.

You want this now?

Oh, my goodness.

How beautiful!

There we are.

Thank you.

It's a little silly,

I suppose.

I read somewhere

that a girl never

forgot those flowers

once she'd been

to the lslands.

It's true.

How did you know

I was stationed

in Honolulu?

Well, I heard it

somewhere.

The Officers' Club,

I suppose.

I thought maybe you

pulled my 201 file.

That would be

an invasion of privacy.

It's a compliment,

in a way.

Anyway, it would have

said that I'm single,

my blood type is B.

NEWMAN:
B.

And that I wear a size...

A size 10 dress.

Your blood type is A,

and you were

in the glee club

at Farragut High School,

you have an appendix scar

right about here,

maybe a little farther over,

and you did your

residency at Tulane.

You read my 201?
