DOCTOR J. Has he come out yet?
NURSE M. No.
DOCTOR J. Keep watching.
NURSE M. There he is. He's stepping off the curb. He's walking across
the street.
DOCTOR J. Yes.
NURSE M. He's stopping now in the middle of the street. He's turning.
He's looking up at this window. There's a look of ... of ...
_realization_ on his face. He's coming back. (_She screams_) He's been
hit by a car. He's lying on the street....
DOCTOR J. What is it, Nurse Mudde?
Nurse M. (_Reeling_) Everything is ... is _fading_! Doctor Janishefsky,
it's fading! (_Another scream_)
DOCTOR J. Don't be absurd, Nurse Mudde. Look at me. Can you honestly
say that.... (_He stops talking. She cannot honestly say anything. She
is not there. Doctor Janishefsky who is not really Doctor Janishefsky
floats alone in the cosmos in his chair which is not really a chair.
He looks at the chair beside him._) I hope you've learned your lesson.
I'm going to put your toy back but don't you dare go near it. So you're
bored are you? Scalliwag! You just behave yourself or I'll take away
your books too! (_He snorts_) So you made them up, did you? (He looks
around). How about picking them up, jackanapes!
SMITH. (_Who is not really Smith_) Yes, father.
