Becker · Season 3

Dr. John Becker and Richard Hatch in “One Wong Move”

[Becker's patient is Richard Hatch, winner of Survivor: Borneo]

Dr. John Becker

[checking his clipboard] Okay, uh, Mr. Hatch. I'm Dr. Becker.

[he and Richard shake hands]

Richard Hatch

Hey, Doc. Want me to take my clothes off? 'Cause that's no problem.

Dr. John Becker

Uh, why don't we just talk first.

Richard Hatch

Okay.

Dr. John Becker

[checking his clipboard] All right. It says you're here for... stomach distress. Any, uh, recent changes in your diet?

Richard Hatch

No, but, uh, several months ago, I was out of the country.

Dr. John Becker

Oh, yeah, I've seen that before. Mexico?

Richard Hatch

Dr. John Becker

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop. What the hell's wrong with you?

Richard Hatch

Hey, some of the other people there ate rats.

Dr. John Becker

Rats? Well, why in the world would anyone do that?

Richard Hatch

It was for "Survivor."

Dr. John Becker

"Survivor?"

Richard Hatch

You know, the contest? The show? It was on television.

Dr. John Becker

Television? Oh, my God! You know, what is this world coming to? People are eating bugs and rats on a stupid television show? I swear to God! You know, TV has become nothing more than the... the Petri dish where this country grows its idiots! Don't they have better things to do than to debase themselves coast to coast?

Richard Hatch

Well, I won.

Dr. John Becker

Oh, yeah, won. Yeah, please. I mean, what could you possibly have won that would make up for your loss of self-respect?

Richard Hatch

A million dollars?

Dr. John Becker

Now, h-h-how could I get involved with something like that? Is that something that any... just anybody...

[the scene fades out]
