Now where did you find this little piece of gradue, Boy's Life?
Journal of the American Medical Association. It's a documented phenomenon.
So is psychic surgery, Fiscus. But I wouldn't want to trust my gallbladder to it.
You still want me to repeat the autopsy?
You're damn right. Nightmare death syndrome of all the lame-Why MacArthur ever wanted to return to the Philippines is beyond me.
This is our last operation together, Victor. I don't want you to assist me anymore.
What?
Look, you're a good surgeon, but ever since I came here, you've been nothing but bad jokes.
What do you mean, bad jokes?
Remember your line about Helen Rosenthal and fun bags?
Yeah, that...
When you're not insensitive, you're offensive. So I have just one suggestion to make. Why don't you do all of mankind a favor? Quit medicine. Take up your true calling, professional phony.
Come on, Bob, why do...
Read my mask, pal. You're out of here.
[Caldwell walks away back to the surgery]
All I said was you drink your bath water.
What's up?
Boy, do you look terrible.
Did you call me out here to tell you that?
Wasn't Ehrlich supposed to be on rounds with you this morning?
Yes, he was. I got a message he's not going to be here. He's involved in some research project.
What is it with these residents? Is every day the Fourth of July? I mean, I need him to assist me in surgery. Kiley dropped out just a minute ago.
Any of you know what project Ehrlich is involved in?
Dream research.
Dream res--- Flim flam, pure and simple. Why do these funding people let the wool be pulled over their eyes using hard earned tax dollars for useless research? I don't even know why you let this Ellis woman have space in the hospital.
Mark, I had nothing to do with it.
Dream research. That kind of malarkey really singes my drawers. Yeah, well, Ehrlich just better be enjoying his dreams while he can, because here comes a living nightmare.
[Chandler stands in his way accidentally]
Can't you see I'm in a hurry?
