DOCTOR POMATTER
Hello, Mrs. Hunterson.

JENNA
Hello, Doctor Pomatter.

DOCTOR POMATTER
How have you been feeling?

JENNA
Fine.

NURSE NORMA
Oh how nice, you brought a pie – What kind?

JENNA
“A Little Wild, Wild Berry Pie”

NURSE NORMA
Thank you, how thoughtful.

DOCTOR POMATTER
Nurse Norma, I’ll take Mrs. Hunterson’s blood, I need you to…
re-weigh Mrs. Morrissey.

NURSE NORMA
But—

DOCTOR POMATTER
Please. Please. Please! It’s important – it’s crucial – She’s coming
Mrs. Morrissey, don’t worry!

NURSE NORMA
I don’t know what the hell this man’s talkin’ about. He ain’t nothin’ but
a country club doctor.

DOCTOR POMATTER
Don’t do that again.

JENNA
What? Bring a pie?

DOCTOR POMATTER
No not that! Of course not that. I meant go away for a full month and not call me.

JENNA
Well I didn’t have any questions or concerns—

DOCTOR POMATTER
Don’t do that.

JENNA
This is craziness, Doctor Pomatter.

DOCTOR POMATTER
Please call me Jim.

JENNA
No, I won’t.

DOCTOR POMATTER
O.K. Don’t. Dr. Pomatter is fine.
So I guess we’re officially forgetting everything that happened between us.

Yes. We officially are.


JENNA
End
DOCTOR POMATTER
I want to apologize for it. I almost called you, I mean, just to apologize. I
want you to know that it will never happen again. From this point on, our
relationship is strictly a medical, professional one.
Jenna…No! Not with the door open.

NURSE NORMA
Mrs. Morrissey still weighs 142 pounds.

DOCTOR POMATTER
Thank you, Nurse Norma. So Mrs. Hunterson, you’re taking your
pre-natal vitamins every day?

JENNA
Faithfully.

NURSE NORMA
Faithfully my ass.

DOCTOR POMATTER
Good. I would like you to come back tomorrow.

NURSE NORMA
Tomorrow?

DOCTOR POMATTER
Yes. Are we on the same page now?

JENNA
We’re on the same page.

NURSE NORMA
We’re all on the same page.
