Dirk is seeing to a sailor in his surgery. It looks like toothache. DIRK: Yes, it'll have to come out Corporal. Easter, how are we placed for dental equipment? EASTER: Well, we've got a pair of pliers sir? DIRK: We must have a pair of dental forceps somewhere, surely? EASTER: Well, they're rather old fashioned like. How about a bit of string and a doorknob? DIRK: Oh Easter, don't be an idiot. How are we off for anesthetic? EASTER: Got some ether. CORPORAL: Doctor, ether makes me sick. AND NO-ONES GOING TO USE IT ON ME! EASTER: Well, what about medical comforts? CORPORAL: That I'm in favour of. They all swig down some whiskey. CORPORAL: Come on Doctor, let's get cracking. DIRK: Yes. Open....Wide....Wider! Now. DIRK grabs the tooth and a strange noise eminates from the Corporal. DIRK: Hold on. Hold on. TROUGH enters the surgery. TROUGH: Am I interupting the Doctor? EASTER: We're extragating a molar. DIRK: Oh, come in Trough, come in. You don't mind the sight of blood do you? TROUGH: Blood? No, not a bit. DIRK: Good. Come along. Try again. There is much grabbing and screeching going on. DIRK: I'm sorry. This is going to hurt you a bit I think. DIRK: Easter, can you apply a little counterpressure to his shoulders please? DIRK: Come on, hurry up! They dance about the surgery, tugging and pulling. EASTER: Put your knee on his chest Doctor. DIRK: What? EASTER: Your knee on his chest. Now your elbows aginst his shoulders. Now pull! DIRK: Well how can I you blithering idiot? DIRK: I'm sorry. Once again. Open up. They grab and dance and eventually fall to the floor. CORPORAL: I'm sorry Doc. I hope I didn't hurt you. DIRK: No, not at all. Look. He holds up the troublesome tooth. DIRK: Now Trough, what can I do for you? TROUGH: Oh quite all right Doc. Much better, much better. TROUGH runs out the door. TROUGH: Thought I had a slight toothache. All gone! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
