LECTURER'S VOICE
(o.s.)
This so called 'brain stem'
consists of the midbrain, a
rounded protrusion called the
pons, and a stalk tapering
downwards called the
medulla oblongata which passes
foramen magnum and becomes,
of course...the spinal cord.
Herr Falkstein finds a vacant place and sits down.
LECTURER'S VOICE
(o.s.)
Which brings us directly to the
demonstration prepared for today.
Are there any questions before
we proceed?
MEDICAL STUDENT:
(rising)
I have one question,
Dr. Frankenstein.
CUT TO:

Our first LOOK at the famous Lecturer.
FREDDY:
That's 'Fronkonsteen.'
MEDICAL STUDENT:
I beg your pardon?
FREDDY:
My name is pronounced Fron kon steen.
MEDICAL STUDENT:
Oh! I thought it was Dr. Frankenstein.
FREDDY:
No, it's Dr. Fronkonsteen!
MEDICAL STUDENT:
But aren't you the grandson of the
famous Dr. Victor Frankenstein?...
who performed such fascinating
experiments in electricity and
galvanism?
FREDDY:
That's true! But my grandfather,
Victor was, after all, what we
might politely refer to as... a
cuckoo!
Polite laughter.
FREDDY:
I prefer, by far, to be remembered
for my own small contributions to
science. Now if we can proceed to
your questions.
MEDICAL STUDENT:
Well sir... I'm not sure I
understand the distinction between
'Reflexive' and 'Voluntary' nerve
impulses.
FREDDY:
Very good! Since our lab work today
is a demonstration of just that
distinction... why don't we proceed?
Behind Freddy is a PATIENT, lying on an operating table.
CARLSON, an assistant, stands near the Patient, next to
Cont.
12
21 Cont.
FREDDY:
What are we actually talking about
when we use the term, 'Brain'? We
are talking about... a cauliflower!
Freddy turns to Carlson.
FREDDY:
May I have the cauliflower, please!
Carlson hands Freddy a giant cauliflower.
FREDDY:
If we make a small slit, down the
center of this cauliflower...
Freddy turns to Carlson, who hands him the scalpel. Freddy
makes a small slit down the center of the cauliflower.
FREDDY:
...and then, ever so gently,
gently, gently... pull it apart...
Freddy has some difficulty pulling the cauliflower apart.
It begins to crumble, but he goes on, professionally.
FREDDY:
...we should find, with any luck
at all... a stalk of... celery!
There is no celery inside the cauliflower. Freddy flushes
red.
FREDDY:
(to Carlson)
Where did you get this cauliflower?
CARLSON:
From your office, sir.
FREDDY:
Didn't you prepare it with the
celery before my lecture?
CARLSON:
Yes, sir. But I must have taken
the wrong one when we came up.
FREDDY:
(in quiet rage)
Are you trying to make me look
like an idiot?
