Knock on Wood Page #6

I mean, I need a

young and beautiful doctor

and you're just what

the doctor ordered, doc.

- I've had quite enough of this Mr Morgan.

- Now, let's face the facts.

When is the last time a

man held you in his arms?

When is last time a man told you,

you were young and beautiful?

- And you are young and beautiful.

- Mr Morgan, would you please go?

No, not until I finish

what I've got to say.

What are you fighting?

What are you so dreadfully afraid of?

I find it absolutely impossible

to work with you, Mr Morgan.

- So would you please go.

- Alright, I'll go.

But there's a darn side more wrong

with you than there is with me

and I'll prove it to you.

- If you don't mind, my umbrella, please.

- Oop, sorry.

" Sigmund Freud"

"Introduction to Psychoanalysis. ".

Possessively approaches and

hidden in the unconscious and...

Oh good morning. I'd like

to see Dr Nordstrom please.

I'm sorry. This is the

doctor's day at the clinic.

Oh, well I'm sure it will

only take a few minutes.

Oh good morning, doctor.

I haven't reach

Dr Manfred yet, but I will.

So will you excuse me.

Oh, you don't have

to reach Dr Manfred.

I have been up all night

studying your problem,

and I think I've got the answer.

It's very common, it's in all the books.

All you've got is a little

"guilt complex" that's all.

You see, you are a victim

obsessive reproaches,

and obsessive reproaches are

hidden in the unconscious mind.

Do you understand?

As Heinrich Lastvogel said...

Wait a minute!

Don't you understand?

You are regressive.

And regression is a defense

mechanism used against guilt feelings

rationalized again and again for distorted

use of the gratification of the Oedipus.

Listen to me, for just

one minute, please.

Look, forget all those big words.

I don't know what they mean

anyway. But I do know this.

I know that you loved Richard

and Richard loved you.

And when he died, you felt kind of guilty

because it was him instead of you.

Don't you understand?

You're blaming yourself for

something that isn't your fault.

It's like punishing yourself

because you didn't die too.

Don't you see that?

It's true, isn't it?

I just didn't think it showed.

Maybe you will feel

better if you talk about it.

- No, I'm...

- Oh, please.

- I don't...

- It sometimes helps. Just talk.

This is where it all happened.

The town where Richard was stationed,

and hospital where I was a nurse.

I come here every week,

work at the clinic,

visit his grave...

Why don't you keep talking?

Just received a wire, sir. Mr Brutchik

has left Istanbul. He arrives tonight.

- Are you sure you won't have a drink?

- Oh, no, no.

You know what's the funny

thing about me and drinking.

All I have to do is smell the

cork, I fall flat on my face...

Now do you suppose your father's

drinking has anything to do with the...?

This is your patient

not mine, remember?

- Would you like to dance?

- You may be sorry.

I'll probably be all feet.

And with the rest of you, makes

it so worthwhile. Come on.

I never dreamed, but

I've been dreaming lately,

all about you,

Whatever I do,

My thoughts are,

all about you,

You're so caressable,

sweet and blessable,

so unguessable too

that I'm in a spin

because of inaccessible you,

What will I do?

The friends I call, that

I've been calling lately.

I call about you,

And not just a few,

I want to tell them,

all about you.

Is it unbelievable or conceivable,

you care at all about me.

Do you want my arms

as I do all about you.

Is it unbelievable or conceivable,

you care at all about me.

Do you want my arms

as I do, all about you.

Well Mr Brutchik, what do you think?

Very good, very good.

Now show me the second half.

The second half?

This is only the primary mechanism.

There's a triggering device?

- There's a second blueprint?

- Second blueprint? Two halves?

Why of course, that picture in

the paper. The two dummies.

If this is some sort of a game?

Telephone London. Tell our friends

to go to Morgans Hotel immediately,

and get that blueprint from the

other dummy. And I don't care how.

Yes, sir.

Don't worry, we'll

get the other half.

Contact me when you do.

- Oh, it was a really wonderful day.

- Wasn't it, doc?

- I can't remember having a nicer time.

- No?

Oh, it was very kind of you

making me do all those things,

- I haven't done for years.

- I couldn't be more pleased.

Do you suppose I could come back

tomorrow, as a patient, I mean?

- I don't see why not?

- Good.

- Well...

- Yes?

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

What time is my appointment?

I'll be early.

You go to Morgans Hotel now,

tonight, and get the other plan.

And nothing will stop you.

- When do I get paid?

- You will go now.

- Not till I get my money.

- You will go now,

or you will have very

little use for money.

- Good evening, sir.

- Sure is!

Hello.

Where have you been all day? Not a call,

not a word. I've been worried sick.

Boy, have I got news for you.

I have got great news for you.

I'm in love, Marty, really in love.

What?

Yeah, with the most

beautiful doctor in the world.

- Now don't start that again. You're...

- No, this time it's different.

- It's always different.

- But this is, Marty, honestly, it is.

I can't stop it, you can't

stop it, she can't stop it.

I'll tell you something.

Not even Clarence can stop it.

Clarence?

Yeah, I'll get him out

and prove it to you.

Jerry, you can't do that. You're

in no shape to go near that dummy.

Now listen, I'm not dressed. Will you

please come down here and talk to me?

Just talk to me before

you do something silly.

Alright, you're still a nervous wreck,

but I'll come around and see you.

It's quite obvious you won't find what

you're looking for, because we have it.

Just as it's quite obvious that

you have what we're looking for.

Get up!

Where is the blueprint?

Where is it?

Where is it?

You will pay?

You'll be well taken care of.

Where is it?

- Papinek.

- Where?

- Royalton Hotel, room 314.

- How do I know?

- Here... key.

- Key proves nothing.

Get him on the phone.

Please get the Royalton hotel.

Yes, thank you.

What do I say?

Tell him you have the blueprint

and we'll be right over.

Royalton Hotel?

Please, get me room 314.

- Hello?

- Hello... Papinek?

- Yes.

- Gromek.

I have it. I come now.

Walk!

Walk!

Open it!

Clarence!

Terence!

U... mm... murder.

Murder!

Hello? There has been a murder, would

you send the police up here,... body...

Help!

Uh... murder! Help police,

somebody... Murder!

Police...!

don't go away...

Police, murder, help!

Murder, police, police, help!

There has been a murder in my room!

Send for the police! Help!

Murder, here, murder!

Police, help!

...and then I opened the closet and

there was this fella stuck on my door.

- Marty!

- Jerry, what have you done?

What have I done? You don't

think for one minute I had...

Listen to me, I told

you not to go near...

- Marty, don't you believe me?
