High Anxiety Page #4

You know Dr. Montague, don't you?

- Hello, Dr. Montague.

- Hello, Zack.

Tell me, do you know

why you're here at the Institute?

Yes, I was brought in two years ago.

I was suffering from nervous exhaustion.

I used to get sharp pains in my neck

and dreamt about werewolves.

- Werewolves?

- Werewolves.

And in the two years you've been here,

do you feel you've made any progress?

I never get those pains anymore...

...and it's been 6 months

since I had a dream about a werewolf.

your last dream about a werewolf.

Tell me frankly. If you were

returned to the community today...

...could you function in a happy,

healthy, normal and productive manner?

I think so. I feel pretty good.

- What's the matter?

- That pain just came back.

See how unpredictable he is?

Help him to the couch.

Sit right here. Put your head back.

Breathe deeply. Try to relax.

Easy.

I'll try.

This pain that you haven't experienced

in such a long time...

...has suddenly reappeared for no reason?

- I don't know what it is.

- This is such a strange experience.

- The pain is going away.

- Good. Breathe deeply.

I feel perfectly fine.

What is it?

- Cartwright, is it that same pain?

- Yes!

- Let me examine you.

- No!

I just want to help you!

- I don't understand.

- I don't understand it, either.

Relax, take it easy.

Take it easy!

Go away!

- Montague, what are we going to do?

- I don't know! Take it easy, Zack.

Cartwright!

His feet.

Got him.

Take him back to his room.

Give him a sedative.

Make it a big one.

Sad. I've never seen anything

quite like that.

- And he was doing so well.

- I know.

- lt is sad, tears your heart apart.

- Yes.

- There's that flashing again.

- Flashing?

It started this morning and here it is again.

It seems to be coming from somewhere...

- ...up there.

- Yes, the North Wing.

Room 35, I'd say.

It stopped. Who's in that room?

A patient named Brisbane.

Brisbane.

- Arthur Brisbane? The industrialist?

- Yes, I think that's the one.

- How long has he been here?

- About 18 months.

I didn't come across his name in the files.

It must be an oversight.

I'd like to meet him.

But he's hopeless.

You don't want to meet him.

I'd like to meet him right after lunch.

All right. As you wish.

- I'll arrange it for you.

- Thank you.

Nurse Diesel? Dr. Montague here.

Dr. Thorndyke would like to meet

Arthur Brisbane right after lunch.

Good.

Ou-yay ow-knay at-whay o-tay o-day.

Et it-gay?

Everything will be taken care of.

There it goes again.

Falling.

Mamma! Falling!

Fight it, Thorndyke. Fight it.

You must fight it, do you hear me?

Fight your fears.

The only way to overcome High Anxiety

is to fight it.
