Well I merely want 14:54.260 --> 14:59.780 you to transfer the data from the sheets and I intend to check the reports before they're filed. 14:59.780 --> 15:09.140 I believe the handbook is quite specific in the matter. Oh confounded Parker. It is now eleven 15:09.140 --> 15:16.580 thirty one so if there is nothing else doctor I'll finish recording those daily charts. I expect to 15:16.580 --> 15:24.580 complete them at one o'clock seven at which time I presume you'll have additional work planned. 15:27.380 --> 15:32.420 Well that's quite an efficient nurse you've acquired doctor. Efficient Jimmy, she's a human 15:32.420 --> 15:38.660 handbook topped off with a bundle of rules and a stopwatch. Not much like the good old days when 15:38.660 --> 15:45.060 Parker was here. Dad, she'd still be here if she wasn't so bullheaded. Well I've got to run along, 15:45.060 --> 15:50.260 better start planning some more work though. You have to face that fireball in the arena again at 15:50.260 --> 16:05.380 one o'clock seven. I've known Leonard Gillespie for a good many years Dr. Kildare and I'm telling 16:05.380 --> 16:10.260 you when he gets on one of his stubborn streaks nothing can move him. I know Molly. Gillespie, 16:10.260 --> 16:15.460 the greatest diagnostician in the world today and yet here he is acting like a spoiled child. 16:15.460 --> 16:21.140 If only Karoo hadn't butted in. He always brings out the contrariness in Leonard. Why as far back 16:21.140 --> 16:27.380 as I can remember. Wait a second, that might be an idea. I'm afraid I don't see it. Well something 16:27.380 --> 16:32.180 has to be done. Gillespie's upset, his work's suffering, Parker's unhappy and the longer it 16:32.180 --> 16:45.940 goes on the less chance of working it out. So? So I think I'll go up and have a talk with Dr. Karoo. 16:45.940 --> 16:50.100 Well I must say I'm afraid I really don't understand you Dr. Gillespie. 16:50.100 --> 16:55.380 Precisely why are you congratulating me? Oh you're being far too modest Dr. Karoo. Of course I 16:55.380 --> 17:00.180 realize you weren't looking for a personal credit. That your only concern was to increase the 17:00.180 --> 17:05.940 efficiency of Dr. Gillespie's work but nonetheless your handling of the matter was very effective. 17:05.940 --> 17:13.780 Oh I see. And just how much of my little plan have you been able to penetrate Dr. Gilder? 17:13.780 --> 17:19.380 Well you must have decided on the plan as soon as you realized that Miss Parker was no longer 17:19.380 --> 17:24.580 an efficient nurse. She wasn't? But you also realized that Dr. Gillespie would probably balk 17:24.580 --> 17:30.100 at any direct attempt to replace Parker with someone more efficient. Yes, yes he certainly 17:30.100 --> 17:35.140 would all right. So you skillfully maneuvered Gillespie into thinking he wanted her replaced. 17:35.700 --> 17:41.380 That left the field clear for Miss Ebbetson. My my my. Oh I know Miss Ebbetson was supposedly 17:41.380 --> 17:46.580 assigned by Molly Bird but it's easy enough to see through that. Really? Yes, yes indeed, 17:46.580 --> 17:52.340 yes indeed. How clever of you Dr. Ilya. Of course I didn't want any credit for it. Naturally. 17:53.220 --> 17:58.100 In a way though it's too bad Dr. Gillespie gives all the credit for the assignment to Molly Bird. 17:58.100 --> 18:03.140 Doesn't know you were really the one behind it. Then he's satisfied with the change. I mean he 18:03.140 --> 18:08.420 he does realize that I was only considering his interests in the matter. Oh I think he's already 18:08.420 --> 18:14.820 quite aware of Miss Ebbetson's efficiency. Well I might just drop him a little hint. We can't hide 18:14.820 --> 18:20.020 all our light under a bushel you know. That's right. Dr. Gilder this is really amazing. Your 18:20.020 --> 18:27.380 suggestion, your guesses were so close to the actual details of my little scheme that it's really quite frightening. 18:34.580 --> 18:40.100 Confounded Jimmy you've been sitting there staring at me for five minutes now. Go say something. 18:40.980 --> 18:48.740 Oh I'm sorry Dr. Gillespie. I guess I was thinking about our poor old Parker. No doubt blaming me for 18:48.740 --> 18:56.340 the whole business. Oh no no it's just one of those things I suppose. Yeah well what about poor old 18:56.340 --> 19:02.340 Parker? I was wondering if there wasn't some way we could help her financially I mean. Oh she must 19:02.340 --> 19:08.260 have money. She's bound to. I don't know. Of course she did work very very hard around here for so many 19:08.260 --> 19:14.580 years. She never was paid very much. Well she'll she'll she'll have a choice of a dozen jobs better 19:14.580 --> 19:20.100 than this one. She hasn't so far. I understand she isn't working yet. Well confounded it isn't my 19:20.100 --> 19:26.580 fault. The old battle axe had any understanding at all but she hasn't. I can't help it if she wants 19:26.580 --> 19:32.980 to act like a stubborn idiot. No I suppose not. It is too bad though because there's a possibility 19:32.980 --> 19:40.580 of course that you may have been been used by somebody. You know taken in. What? Look suppose 19:40.580 --> 19:46.420 Dr. Carew decided he wanted Parker replaced by a more efficient nurse. Now if he were really smart 19:46.420 --> 19:51.460 wouldn't he go about it by pretending just the opposite by by provoking you into getting rid 19:51.460 --> 19:58.260 of Parker? By the great horns. Of course he would and that's exactly what he did too. Well I don't 19:58.260 --> 20:03.460 really know that's what happened it was only an idea. Jimmy I thought right along there was 20:03.460 --> 20:10.980 something behind this. I knew somebody was to blame for it. What that conniving underhanded little 20:10.980 --> 20:18.100 pipsqueak. Well good afternoon gentlemen. Why Dr. Carew we were just talking about you. About me? 20:18.100 --> 20:23.540 Oh dear nothing I shouldn't hear I hope. Well to be more exact we were talking about the replacement 20:23.540 --> 20:29.140 of Miss Parker with this new nurse. Ah yes yes indeed and has Miss Ebbetson proved herself to be 20:29.140 --> 20:36.660 efficient Dr. Gillespie? Obnoxiously so. What a delightful way to put it. She is probably the 20:36.660 --> 20:41.700 most efficient nurse I've ever been given the opportunity to work with. Yes it would seem that 20:42.260 --> 20:48.180 that Molly Bird made an excellent selection. Ah me such is life. So it's Molly Bird who's getting 20:48.180 --> 20:54.500 all the credit in this little affair. And is somebody else responsible Carew? Well since you're 20:54.500 --> 20:59.620 about to ferret me out I suppose I may as well make a little confession. Good then I won't have 20:59.620 --> 21:05.620 to use torture. It wasn't Molly Bird at all. I'm the one who planned the whole thing. Carew? 21:06.420 --> 21:14.580 Yes Dr. Gillespie? You phony fat-headed imbecilic little poppinjay. Police. How many times have I 21:14.580 --> 21:19.700 told you never to interfere in my department. But but but but I thought you were I mean I. 21:19.700 --> 21:25.380 Butting in here and firing the best nurse I ever had. I fired her? I ought to walk out of this 21:25.380 --> 21:31.140 hospital and stay out of it. But but but but but but. Hey there. Phone Parker and have her get over 21:31.140 --> 21:37.860 here right away. She's as much a victim of the schemer as I am. Oh dear oh dear dear dear dear. 21:37.860 --> 21:42.340 Well it's too bad Dr. Crew but that's the way things go sometimes. The best laid plans are mice 21:42.340 --> 21:49.940 and men you know. I still think it was a clever idea. 22:01.460 --> 22:09.300 Well there's the whole story Miss Parker. Neither you nor I were to blame at all. We were merely 22:09.300 --> 22:15.700 victimized by the underhanded machinations of a sly scoundrel. Can you imagine it Dr. Gillespie? 22:15.700 --> 22:21.380 Why I've never heard of such a two-faced scheme before in my life. Yes it does seem a little odd 22:21.380 --> 22:27.700 all right. Yeah odd. Why that's the way Carew's mind works Jimmy. If you can call it a mind. 22:28.260 --> 22:33.300 I suspected something right from the start. But I had to go along with it you know. Give him enough 22:33.300 --> 22:40.420 rope. Naturally I was forced to say a few things that I didn't mean. Oh of course I understand. 22:40.420 --> 22:44.260 Well Parker since everything seems to be settled you may as well dig up a uniform and get back on 22:44.260 --> 22:51.060 the payroll. Oh well I wore one under my coat. I just knew things would turn out all right. Yes 22:51.060 --> 22:56.100 yes. Well it would never have happened in the first place if Carew hadn't started it Miss Parker. 22:56.100 --> 23:02.260 Oh I know. He's such a horrible man. Yes. Well as long as things are back to normal I'd better get 23:02.260 --> 23:07.540 some of my own work done. Dr. Gillespie. Oh no. I would just like to add one thing to what I said 23:07.540 --> 23:13.380 earlier. Dr. Carew I was just coming to look for you. Oh all right but wait first. How fortunate 23:13.380 --> 23:18.180 you were looking for me at the same time. I wasn't. I really now Dr. Killdeer. Watch the door now. 23:18.180 --> 23:24.100 There we are. This is most irregular Dr. Killdeer. Yes I know it is but I wanted to remind you of 23:24.100 --> 23:30.020 something. Oh of what? Last year over a million dollars in donations came into this hospital as a 23:30.020 --> 23:36.180 direct result of Dr. Gillespie's great reputation. Ah yes quite so. I wasn't sure what you might be 23:36.180 --> 23:42.020 going to bring up in there so well to a man of your intellect Dr. Carew need I say anything more? 23:42.020 --> 23:48.020 I'm sorry. 23:48.020 --> 24:10.020 In just a moment we will return to the story of Dr. Killdeer. 24:18.020 --> 24:46.420 And now once again the story of Dr. Killdeer starring Lou Ayers as Dr. Killdeer and Lionel 24:46.420 --> 24:56.340 Barrymore as Dr. Gillespie. Well good morning Dr. Killdeer. Oh hello Molly heading the same way I 24:56.340 --> 25:01.540 am. I'm going down here to Gillespie's office if that's. Oh my let's go. Well I suppose things 25:01.540 --> 25:06.340 have settled back to normal now between him and Parker. Not so sure. We're getting along all right together 25:06.340 --> 25:12.340 but I'm such a politely formal basis that it's it's like walking on eggs. Oh no. Sure they spend half 25:12.340 --> 25:17.860 their time exchanging compliments he's still calling her Miss Parker. That's sort of a basis 25:17.860 --> 25:22.580 one wrong word from Carew could blow the whole thing sky high again. Yeah isn't much like the 25:22.580 --> 25:26.180 rough and tumble set up they've always had before. Yeah maybe things are. Here we are. 25:27.540 --> 25:34.500 Well confounded Parker don't just stand there like an idiot. Wait a second Molly. Even a moron would 25:34.500 --> 25:38.900 know better than to do a thing like that. Well I guess everybody makes mistakes sometimes. But you 25:38.900 --> 25:45.300 are the only human being I ever saw who managed to make them all the time. Oh horrible man. 25:47.540 --> 25:51.780 Oh well Molly I think we can stop worrying everything's going to work out all right. 26:00.500 --> 26:05.460 You have just heard the story of Dr. Killdeer starring Lou Ayres and Lionel Barrymore. This 26:05.460 --> 26:10.740 program was written by Les Crutchfield and directed by William P. Russo. Original music was composed 26:10.740 --> 26:15.700 and conducted by Walter Shuman.
