we can do to show

our appreciation,

please call on us anytime.

By all means, do.

Thank you, I will.

Good luck to you both.

Fellas, I can't add a thing

to what you already know.

What about the rumor

that Tuttle's brother

will replace

Dr. Schratt?

Quote, nobody could

be better in his job

than Dr. Frank Schratt,

unquote.

That's all, boys.

Will you excuse me now?

Sure, doctor.

So far, so good.

Hiya, doc. My name's

yocum, herbie yocum.

I freelance for a livin'

with my little brownie here.

Came up on my own on spec

to do a picture story

on Donovan's death.

Well, where do I fit in?

He died at your house,

didn't he?

Look, doc,

I'd like to get a shot

of the operating table

where he kicked off.

That's a little gruesome,

isn't it?

Delicious.

The Sunday supplement's

eat this stuff up.

I got some shots of

Donovan in the morgue.

What happened to his head?

It was a plane crash, remember?

He had extensive injuries.

Oh, come on, doc.

Give me a break.

If you do, I'll take

some shots of your kids.

All right, yocum.

Do you want to follow me

in your car?

Are you kiddin'?

The finance company

took it 4 payments back.

Doc, you're my chauffeur.

I just added 5 ccs of serum,

and there was

a small deviation...

We'll talk about it later.

Hey, good lookin' lab

you got here, doc.

Oh, a heart, huh?

Hey, a brain.

All right, yocum.

This is where Donovan died.

Take your picture

from over there.

Yeah, sure, doc.

And include us out.

Got it?

One more, just in case.

Hey, how about doin'

a story on your stuff, doc?

You know, it might be worth

a couple of hundred dollars,

and I'll split with you.

No, thanks. Uh...

What do you think you're doing?

Oh, doc, you're rushing me.

That one slipped.

You know, I just lost 6 cents.

That's what these bulbs

cost me wholesale.

This one ought to do it.

All right.

Take him back to town,

will you, please, Frank?

Well, thanks, doc,

and if you're ever in Hollywood

and need a favor, look me up.

Yocum. Y-o-c-u-m.

The only one in the phone book.

Bye.

How did you ever happen

to allow a thing like that?

He wanted some pictures

of where Donovan died.

He'd already taken

pictures in the morgue,

and I was afraid

he'd get suspicious

if didn't let him come here.

What were you saying now

when we came in

about a deviation?

Well, it was at 4:40.

I was checking the voltage.

Here comes another one.

This like the 4:
40 one?

Yes.

Huh.

2 identical deviations.

Looks like a beta frequency.

Oh, it is.

The brain must be

thinking systematically.

Darling, you watch the screen.

I want to try something.

It's another deviation,

a bigger one.

Jan...

I feel we are about to stumble
