- Dr. Joe Early: [a little boy walks up to Dr Early in the hallway and tugs on his sleeve] Yes.
- Steve: Are you a doctor?
- Dr. Joe Early: Yes. What can I do for you, son?
- [Steve reaches into his pocket and pulls out some coins]
- Dr. Joe Early: So, you've got seven cents.
- Steve: I'd like to buy a bandage.
- Dr. Joe Early: What for?
- Steve: My friend Pete. He's outside. He fell.
- Dr. Joe Early: Oh. Why don't you bring Pete in? I'll bandage him myself.
- Steve: He won't come in. He's afraid.
- Dr. Joe Early: But you're not.
- [Dr Early kneels down in front of Steve]
- Dr. Joe Early: Listen, son. I'll tell you what. You tell Pete if he comes in and lets me bandage him, I'll do it for nothing. It's free. You guys can keep the seven cents. Okay?
- Steve: No tricks?
- Dr. Joe Early: No tricks.
- Dr. Joe Early: [a few scenes later, Pete sits on a bed in an exam room while Dr Early places a bandage on his knee] There, Pete. That wasn't so bad, was it?
- [Dr Early picks Pete up and stands him on the floor, then sits down in front of the boys]
- Dr. Joe Early: I'll tell you what. You guys come back in a couple of days, I'll look at it again. Okay?
- Pete: No thanks.
- Dr. Joe Early: How come?
- Pete: Cuz this is a scary lookin' place.
- Dr. Joe Early: It is?
- Steve: [Pointing to Dr Early's chest] Like that thing. What's it for?
- Dr. Joe Early: A stethoscope? That's for listening. You wanna try it?
- [Steve backs away and Dr Early gently pulls him back in toward him]
- Dr. Joe Early: Come on, Steve. Don't be chicken. Come on. It won't hurt you.
- [Looks at Pete]
- Dr. Joe Early: Tell you what, Pete. Steve is going to listen to your heart and after he finishes, you're gonna listen to his heart. Okay?
- [Pete nods yes and Dr Early places the stethoscope ear pieces into Steve's ears]
- Dr. Joe Early: Those fit in your ears alright.
- [Dr Early pulls Pete's shirt down a little and places the stethoscope against his chest]
- Dr. Joe Early: Do you hear anything?
- [after a few seconds, a smile comes to Steve's face]
- Pete: Let me try.
- Dr. Joe Early: Okay.
- [He takes the ear pieces out of Steve's ears and places them in Pete's]
- Dr. Joe Early: There you go. That side in your ear.
- [Turns to Steve and reaches for his shirt]
- Dr. Joe Early: Pull that zipper down a little bit.
- [Places stethoscope against Steve's chest]
- Dr. Joe Early: There you go.
- [Turns to Pete]
- Dr. Joe Early: Do you hear anything?
- Pete: That's his heart?
- Dr. Joe Early: That's right.
- [Takes the ear pieces out of Pete's ears]
- Pete: Doctor, if I put it against his head, could I hear what he was thinking?
- Dr. Joe Early: [chuckles] It's not that sensitive. I'll tell you what. If you come back in a couple days, we'll do some more listening. We'll do some more talking. Alright?
- Steve: Sure. We'll be back. Why not?
- Pete: Yeah, we'll be here. Same time.
- Dr. Joe Early: Good. Good enough.
- [Dr Early walks the boys out of the exam room]
- Steve: Thanks. Bye.
- Dr. Joe Early: Bye boys.
