    Nurse: Miss Janet Henry.

    Ed Beaumont: Tell her to go away.

    Nurse: I can't do that. She knows you're better.

    Ed Beaumont: When are we gonna be alone again?

    Nurse: *Never* if I can help it.

    Ed Beaumont: Then I suppose I'll *have* to see her.

    Nurse: No wonder people *beat* you up.

    Janet Henry: Comfortable here?

    Ed Beaumont: More or less.

    Janet Henry: No fun?

    Ed Beaumont: No fun.

    Janet Henry: Hasn't your *nurse* been treating you well?

    Ed Beaumont: Not as well as I'd like.

    Janet Henry: Poor boy. If I'd known you were being neglected, I would have come sooner.
