Vera and Rex in “Escape to L.A.”

Can't get rid of you can I, dead man walking?

Rex

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me ask you something; What is this Dead is Dead shit? I've seen posters all over the place.

It's the latest campaign. As if Oswald Danes wasn't bad enough, this one is led by Ellis Hartley Monroe - One of those small-town mayors trying to make a name for herself. Where are you?

Rex

Sorry, Doc, no can say. But if I wanted to know where I could get prescription drugs in Los Angeles, no questions asked, then you could make your own conclusions.

And that's the only reason you called me?

Rex

Well, you are the doctor.

What are you doing in LA?

Rex

I never said I was in LA.

Well, it might surprise you to learn that I haven't got my own private network of drug runners on the West Coast.

Rex

Come on, Vera. You'll find a way. I've seen what you can do with the doctor patient relationship, and the Hippocratic oath, it doesn't cover it.

Ellis Hartley Monroe started the Dead is Dead campaign, and do you know why? She thinks we should treat people who should have died as if they're already dead. And right now, I think she's got a point. I'm busy. Thank you, Rex.

Rex

[grins] You are so gonna call me back.

I am so not.
