Irreplaceable Page #5

I'll stay with him a while.

Thank you.

See you, Guy.

You know,

this is a harrowing job.

I feel I've spent 20 years

working with suffering,

with hardship,

with worries...

We mend...

That's it, as doctors we mend.

We mend nature's f***-ups.

We have to face the facts.

What I call nature may be

something else for believers.

But don't tell me

nature is beautiful.

Nature... There are beautiful

things, but horrible ones too.

Nature is a barbarity.

So we continually fight

against a barbarity.

It's good.

Even if we know it

will win in the end.

Because it's not going to end.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad.

You're next, Ninon.

It's best if you wait here.

Of course.

Hold my coat?

Hello.

I haven't been

sleeping well lately.

For how long?

I don't really know.

Three weeks, a month.

I'm not sure.

Do you feel a bit depressed?

Yes. A bit.

Something happened?

I had another abortion.

You don't use contraception?

No, we want a baby.

Your friend asked

you not to keep it?

Yes, but he's right.

I don't know if I

could raise a child.

I blow a fuse at times.

What do you mean, blow a fuse?

For instance, if

he gets back late

at night,

I get angry.

I know I shouldn't react badly,

but I can't control myself.

So he says

it can't go on between us.

He says I'm just a kid

and not mature enough

to have a child.

Do you go out with girlfriends?

No.

He doesn't like me going out.

I don't like going out anyway

I've met a nasty guy like yours.

You have to leave now.

What time was it?

7:
25.

Pass me we sharps box, phase.

Don't worry, we'll

take care of it all.

We've called the authorities.

Get here when you can.

All right.

I have to go.

His daughter will

be here in an hour.

All right, I'll wait for her.

Thank you.

You don't smell the

burning, do you?

No.

You've never smelled it.

No.

Nors told you?

No.

I saw the spots

on your collarbone x-ray.

The arm pivots around you

and we go out.

While we're out,

it pivots to the other side.

Let's go.

All right.

I see nothing.

Nothing?

Look harder.

No, nothing.

Make an effort. Right here.

- Here?

- Yes.

I can't see a thing.

- You're sure?

- Yes.

You're right.

There's nothing.

It's not showing up?

No, it's shrunk a lot.

Dr Werner.

Yes, I'm on my way.

An emergency.

It's white.

It attracts us. We approach it.

We approach it. Come with me.

Now we rest our hands on it.

There.

It's a ball of happiness.

Rest your hands on it.

Let's all turn together with it.

Let's turn with it.

That's good. Now,

we take this ball

and throw it in the air.

It'll rise up and

come back down.

It's coming down!

THE COUNTRY DOCTOR
