Small Town Girl Page #7

So-So? Will you get my wife up on deck?

Yeah. Fresh air.

Now see what you've done.

Are you going or not?

Yes. I go.

I go.

Ohhh.

So-So?

Oh, so-So!

Do you have any sense at all?

That's a sure way to get sick.

I didn't call for you.

"Dr. Ben's home remedy. "

Please go away. I'll be all right.

Yeah. That's what you think.

You look like somebody

who's been carried

From a pyramid right now.

Then you needn't look at me!

Come on. On deck for you.

Oh, I can manage.

Well, then, come on. Manage.

Oh. My-My robe.

Ooh.

Yeah. Yeah. You can manage.

Come on.

Oh.

Ooh!

You needn't be so smart.

Somebody has to be.

Oh! Oh!

There.

If you had listened to

me in the first place,

This wouldn't have happened.

Breathe deeply, and you'll be all right.

I'll be all right if

you would just go away

And leave me alone.

Don't worry. I'm going.

You might at least get my slippers

So I won't catch cold.

All right. Here.

Oh, I don't want those. I want my own.

Listen. You'll take these or nothing.

When I get back to bed,

I'm gonna stay there.

Oh, I hope you stay there

For the rest of the trip.

That's a good idea.

Thanks.

I'm in the mood for love

Heaven is in your eyes

Bright as the stars-

Excuse me. I thought I was all alone.

I was just taking a

turn around the deck.

Oh, that's all right, Mack.

Uh, you feeling better, ma'am?

Oh, yes. Thank you.

You look a little cold, doc.

No, no, no. I'm all right, Mack.

Well, I guess, uh-

I guess when you're in love,

You don't notice those things, huh?

Nice here, isn't it?

Mmm. Lovely.

It's a lovely night, and the moon

And the stars and the dipper.

Kind of-Kind of does something to you.

Well, I guess when I get back to port,

I'll dig up the wife.

Well...

good night, doctor.

Good night, Mack.

Good night.

Ooh, my feet are freezing.

Oh, here. Take these.

I can't walk in them anyway.

I'm sorry.

Ooh.

Ooh.

Oh! Don't you dare!

Quiet. You want the

whole boat to hear you?

What are you going to do?

I'm gonna take you to your cabin.

I'll walk there.

I won't let you carry me.

You'll be carried and like it.

Oh, let go of that. Come on. Let go.

Let go. Ooh! Ouch!

Oh! Ooh!

Ooh.

There. It serves you right.

I hope you broke it.

Your breakfast, Mr. Dakin. Coffee good.

No, you ape.

Can't you see that I'm ill?

Get me some brandy.

Ah, you catch a cold, huh?

You carry missy doctor up one deck

Without coat, huh?

Oh, I don't want any of

your brilliant conversation.

Get me some brandy.

Oh. Bad here in chest.

Hey. It really sounds

terrible, doesn't it?

Cough again.

Oh, bad. You bad.

Well, I would be a good Samaritan.

Close that port and bring

me some brandy. Quick!

Call missy doctor?

No! Don't call missy doctor!

Don't. Don't call missy doctor.

So-So, get me some lemons

and grapefruit and hot water-

Plenty of it.

I no think he like a lemon water.

Get it. Please.

Yes. I go. I go.

Missy doctor send.

That's nice of her.

I'll have the brandy.

She say she send more.

Delightful. We'll open a fountain.

Put it down there.

Pudding down there?

Put it down there!

Oh, put it down there.

He sent me to tell you no more.

That's too bad.

Just leave it in his room.

He say he no want a woman's touch.

That's too bad.

Yes. That's too bad.

Put it down?

Listen. Take that carvel remedy and-

I go!

Yeah.

I think I'll go, too.

Ohh.

Eh, I'm licked.

I'll drink it.

I'm tired of being a grouch, aren't you?

I never was,

But I was getting to be.

Forgive me?

Of course.

Our doctor at home

always makes us take this.

Well, he knows his business.

I could probably sweat

this out of me by morning.

How do you feel?

Oh, much better, thanks.

Good.

Yep, Kay, as long as

we got to put on a show,

We might as well be

comfortable doing it,

And this boat isn't big enough

For a cat-And-Dog

fight, is it?

No, it isn't.

I'm glad you're not angry anymore.

I'm glad you're not angry anymore.

Eh, you're all right, Kay.

Yes, uh, you take your troubles

Like a gentleman and a scholar.

You're all right.

Pris and I drink to you.

You better finish this.

Hmm?

Better finish it.

Oh.

Don't put the steaks on till we

get back, so-So. About half an hour.

All right.

Whoop. Steady as you go.

Still feel the motion of the boat, huh?

I guess I do.

Well, we'll get the

kinks out of our sea legs.

Say, this isn't hard to take, is it?

You have no idea how much-

Hey, what's that?

It's a deer.

Oh, it's caught on the wire.

Oh.

Oh! Stomach's cut.

Stop wailing. That won't do any good.

Take it easy, young fella.

Run back and tell so-So to get my kit

From the boat, will you?

All right. So-So!

Now, mister,

Looks like we're gonna have

to do a little patchwork.

Shouldn't you have given

him ether or chloroform?

No.

He doesn't feel a thing

with the Novocain.

Ether would've made

him groggy for 24 hours.

Some dog could've run him down.

Oh, he's so brave.

He hasn't made a sound.

Yeah. Wild things take their troubles

With a little dignity.

It's only civilized folk

that put up a squawk.

Hand me that retractor, will you?

Which?

That thing over there that

looks like a baby pusher,

Only you use it in reverse.

Thanks.

I'll make a surgery

nurse out of you yet.

Well, this is a little different

From our last operation.

What was that?

A young kid at the clinic.

He'd been fooling with his dad's gun,

Blew off part of his skull.

Ooh. And you mean he lived?

Sure. Yeah, we replaced the

bone with a silver plate,

Grafted some skin.

He'll be going back to

school in a few months.

But it's almost like magic.

One of my more dependable

moments, I assure you.

I'll be darned interested to see

How young jimmy's getting along

When I get back.

Now, a little iodine to grow on.

A nice big beauty mark

That'll probably itch like the devil

When the hair starts to

grow in underneath it,

Which you'll probably scratch off

On the first log you come to.

All right.

Off the table.

Oh, he's fine.

Sure he is. Case discharged.

As a matter of fact, the

entire digestive tract

Could be taken out of a person,

And he could still live

by being fed intravenously.

How do you mean, uh, intra

- What is it?

Intravenously. Food injected

into the bloodstream.

It doesn't seem possible...

you can do things like that.

Well, that's nothing

to what will be done,

What's being studied now.

See, modern medicine and surgery

Is the youngest of the sciences-

Only just begun.

You see, uh-

What's the matter?

I've been sitting here

blowing my own horn

For the last two hours.

Please go on talking.

I love to hear about those things.

Really?

I think you're a very clever girl

Or a funny little kid.

I don't know which.

No. But just the thought

Of feeling you're able

to take poor, sick bodies

And put them together

And have them put all their trust in you

When they're scared

and clinging to life.

That's a marvelous thing.

I guess you're just a funny little kid.

That's the nicest thing
