Mary Thorne and Ric in “Unfinished Business”

A sygmoidoscopy?

Yeah, it’s where we put a camera-

I know exactly what one is, you don’t think I got this far without having one?

It’ll help me find the cause of the bleed.

I’ll tell you the cause. I have a tumor the size of a puppy wedged in the middle of my giblets. That much I do know.

If I can find the cause of the bleed, then I might be able to do something about it.

I checked out of hospital, dodged hospice, hid away in a hotel suite, in order to avoid anything medical. You think I’m going to let you stick a scope up my sheriff’s badge? Jog on, Ric- what? What? What’s funny?

I’d forgotten just how funny you are.

And I'd forgotten what a stiff you are. Look: Whack me full of heavy duty morphine and stick me in a side ward. Please.

Nope. Not until I’ve conducted a thorough examination of your bowel.

God. You always were a silver-tongued bastard.
