Stars in My Crown Page #7

What do you want?

I've come to say a prayer for Annie.

Mrs. Smith's very ill.

If you really want to help her,

You'll get out and leave her to me.

Parson? Parson?

I'm right here, Annie.

Parson...

It's all over.

No, doctor, it's just beginning.

You can go in now.

The rest of you had better go home.

Here, you,

What have you done to your hand?

Dropped the stove lid

on it 2, 3 days ago.

Don't amount to nothing.

Well, it will amount to something

If it isn't properly attended to.

Why haven't you seen a doctor?

Doc Harris is sick, ain't he?

You call around tomorrow.

I'll take care of it.

Don't amount to nothing.

Dan?

Good night.

Dan, I was thinking of

a saying your father has.

He says if the lord

wants a person bad enough,

It's not up to him to stand in the way.

Mr. Gray,

We'd better get something

straight right now.

I love and admire my father,

But that doesn't mean that

I have to accept his ways.

As long as I'm doctor in this town,

You'll oblige me by asking my permission

Before you interfere with my patients.

I don't know about interfering.

I came out here tonight

Because I was sent for, same as you.

We'll be meeting like

this right along now,

And you may as well get used to it.

Souls don't always enjoy

perfect health, you know,

Any more than bodies do.

Well, I'm not interested

in souls, Mr. Gray.

And when I want a sermon on the subject,

I'll come to church for it.

Good. I'll be glad to preach you one.

Well, that'd be a waste of your time...

and mine.

Good night.

Good night, dr. Harris.

Yes, he's right here.

Someone to see you...

Dr. Harris, this is bobby Sam Carroll.

Bobby Sam, quiet down, dear.

The doctor isn't going to hurt you.

We've had a little accident

With a fish hook.

Yes, where?

Why, at the sunday school picnic.

Oh! Oh, it's caught in his leg.

You see, it won't come out

this way because of the barb,

And it won't come out

this way because of the eye

For the fishing line, you know?

Yes.

Yes.

Bobby Sam!

I'm afraid some of the older

boys have been frightening him.

With stories about me?

Never mind.

Now, john, what did I tell you?

Nothing terrible's going to happen.

John was showing bobby Sam how to cast,

And the first thing...

Dr. Harris!

Let me have one of your hatpins.

Look here, stop that!

Now, look.

This is you,

And this is that fishhook

Sticking into you.

Now here's the eye.

That's for the fishing line, you know.

Now, I'm going to take and cut the eye

Right off that hook like this.

Then I'm going to pull the shank out

With one pull, like this.

See? That's all there is to it.

Now, you're not going to make a fuss

About a little thing like that, are you?
