WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.210 --> 00:00:03.910
A visiting physician arrives in Dodge City carrying news of
2
00:00:03.950 --> 00:00:08.199
Doc Adams' former medical colleague and an opportunity that puts
3
00:00:08.259 --> 00:00:14.140
Doc's frontier practice in a new light. From June 11th, 1961,
4
00:00:14.140 --> 00:00:21.160
this is Gunsmoke, episode 479, Doc's Visitor. William Conrad is
5
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:25.839
Marshal Matt Dillon, with Howard McNear as Doc Adams, Georgia
6
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:31.329
Ellis as Kitty Russell, and Parley Bear as Chester. Marion
7
00:00:31.390 --> 00:00:34.899
Clark wrote the story under the direction and production of
8
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.799
Norman MacDonald. As Doc's visitor sees the demands of medicine
9
00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:43.560
on the frontier, Dodge City gathers at the Long Branch
10
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:47.840
and in Doc's office. And now, our story begins.
11
00:00:59.450 --> 00:01:02.630
Around Dodge City and in the territory on west, there's
12
00:01:02.689 --> 00:01:05.430
just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers,
13
00:01:05.909 --> 00:01:06.909
and that's with a U.S.
14
00:01:06.969 --> 00:01:09.549
Marshal and the smell of gun smoke.

16
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:32.959
Gunsmoke, starring William Conrad. The story of the violence that
17
00:01:32.980 --> 00:01:36.209
moved west with young America. And the story of a
18
00:01:36.269 --> 00:01:37.340
man who moved with it.
19
00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:42.810
I'm that man. Matt Dillon, United States Marshal. The first
20
00:01:42.890 --> 00:01:45.349
man they look for and the last they want to meet.
21
00:01:46.549 --> 00:01:49.870
It's a chancy job. And it makes a man watchful.
22
00:01:51.430 --> 00:02:19.129
And a little lonely. Just a minute.
23
00:02:19.229 --> 00:02:19.789
I'm coming.
24
00:02:19.909 --> 00:02:20.449
I'm coming.
25
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:25.159
Don't give a man a chance to tend to his business.
26
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:27.360
Oh, yes, sir.
27
00:02:27.500 --> 00:02:28.340
What can I do for you?
28
00:02:28.979 --> 00:02:32.400
I'd like a room. Oh, yes, sir. I have a
29
00:02:32.460 --> 00:02:34.310
nice one on the second floor up front. If you
30
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:36.469
would just sign the register. All right.
31
00:02:41.689 --> 00:02:43.020
There, that's fine.
32
00:02:43.900 --> 00:02:46.699
I didn't mean to sound out of sorts. That's quite
33
00:02:46.740 --> 00:02:47.060
all right.
34
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:49.650
I thought it was one of them cowhands pestering for
35
00:02:49.659 --> 00:02:50.229
something again.
36
00:02:50.650 --> 00:02:56.189
Can you tell me where I can find Dr. Adams? Dr. Adams? Well, sure. Oh, say,
37
00:02:56.810 --> 00:03:00.599
I sure hope you ain't ailing. No, no, I feel fine. Well,
38
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:01.120
that's good.
39
00:03:01.860 --> 00:03:05.020
Doc Adams ain't exactly what you'd call fancy, but, oh,
40
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.439
I suppose he's all right for an ordinary doctor.
41
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.479
Can you direct me to his office? Oh, yes, sir,
42
00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:13.360
I certainly can. Now, you go down to the end of.
43
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.909
The block, across the street and up the stairs on
44
00:03:16.939 --> 00:03:17.990
the side of the building.
45
00:03:18.250 --> 00:03:23.830
There's a sign. Dr. C. Adams, it says. Yes, thank you. Now,
46
00:03:23.889 --> 00:03:25.569
if you'll see that my bag is taken up to
47
00:03:25.610 --> 00:03:32.210
my room... Oh, I certainly will do that, Mr... Webber. Dr. Webber.
48
00:03:33.229 --> 00:03:33.550
Good day.
49
00:03:33.990 --> 00:03:36.110
Yes, certainly, Dr.
50
00:03:36.250 --> 00:03:40.949
Webber. Now, there's a man that looks like a doctor
51
00:03:40.969 --> 00:04:04.280
ought to look. Pardon me, sir. How's that? I wonder
52
00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:06.680
if you could give me some information. What do you
53
00:04:06.699 --> 00:04:10.090
want to know, mister? I'm looking for Dr. Adams. That's
54
00:04:10.129 --> 00:04:12.750
his office up there? Yes, I've just been there, but
55
00:04:12.789 --> 00:04:15.710
he isn't in. He ain't, huh? I was hoping you
56
00:04:15.729 --> 00:04:18.009
might know where I could find him. I ain't got
57
00:04:18.050 --> 00:04:22.160
no use for a doctor. Oh, I see. Well, in
58
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:26.449
that case... We looked in the Long Branch. The Long Branch? Yes. Saloon,
59
00:04:26.529 --> 00:04:29.240
down the street there. Oh, no, no, I haven't.
60
00:04:29.329 --> 00:04:30.519
Doctor's likely to.
61
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.060
Be there as anywhere else. He spends a lot of
62
00:04:33.139 --> 00:04:37.339
time there. I see. Much obliged.
63
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.699
It must be a slow day in Dodge to get
64
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:50.899
both of you in here in the middle of the afternoon.
65
00:04:50.930 --> 00:04:52.490
Yeah, don't tempt fate.
66
00:04:52.579 --> 00:04:54.389
Well, Kitty, you better not talk about it or the
67
00:04:54.410 --> 00:04:55.949
whole town might bust loose.
68
00:04:56.269 --> 00:04:59.089
That happens every Saturday night. Well, I just assumed it
69
00:04:59.129 --> 00:05:01.430
didn't happen on a Wednesday. Me too, Matt.
70
00:05:01.910 --> 00:05:04.990
Patching up a bunch of brawling cowhands isn't my idea
71
00:05:05.009 --> 00:05:06.089
of a quiet weekend.
72
00:05:06.370 --> 00:05:08.750
Maybe we could get Kitty to stop selling whiskey, Doc.
73
00:05:08.970 --> 00:05:11.769
That might quiet things down a little bit. How about that, Kitty?
74
00:05:11.889 --> 00:05:14.209
Well, if you two would guarantee to support me for
75
00:05:14.230 --> 00:05:15.439
the rest of my life, I.
76
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.019
Are you looking for somebody, mister? Yes, I am looking
77
00:05:20.060 --> 00:05:23.829
for Dr. Adams. Well, I'm Dr. Adams. Well, how do
78
00:05:23.850 --> 00:05:28.819
you do? My name is Weber. Dr. William Weber. Oh.
79
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:33.500
Pleased to meet you. This is... This is Kitty Russell. Russell. Hello, Doctor.
80
00:05:33.540 --> 00:05:38.120
Marshal Dillon. Marshal. Doctor. Would you care to sit down, Dr. Webber? Oh,
81
00:05:38.170 --> 00:05:40.230
thank you, Miss Russell. Actually, I have come to talk
82
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:41.490
business with Dr. Adams.
83
00:05:41.850 --> 00:05:44.389
Oh, well, in that case, Doctor, we'll leave the table
84
00:05:44.410 --> 00:05:44.730
to you.
85
00:05:45.269 --> 00:05:47.529
Won't we, Matt? Well, sure, Kitty. Oh, please, no. I
86
00:05:47.569 --> 00:05:48.029
didn't mean to.
87
00:05:48.069 --> 00:05:48.990
Oh, we'd be glad to.
88
00:05:49.029 --> 00:05:52.170
Now, just wait a minute, Kitty. I have an office
89
00:05:52.209 --> 00:05:54.329
of my own. Yeah, you do at that. And I
90
00:05:54.350 --> 00:05:58.430
can conduct my business affairs there. So, you just come
91
00:05:58.449 --> 00:05:58.970
with me, Dr.
92
00:05:58.990 --> 00:05:59.250
Webber.
93
00:05:59.449 --> 00:06:03.819
Certainly, Dr. Adams. Good day, Miss Russell. Marshal. Bye. So long.
94
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.639
Doc sounded kind of happy to me. Ah, he's not happy, Kitty.
95
00:06:09.980 --> 00:06:11.600
It's his professional pride.
96
00:06:11.620 --> 00:06:14.430
He doesn't often get a chance to show it.
97
00:06:36.290 --> 00:06:43.459
Sit down. Oh, here. Thank you. Well, it's.
98
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:49.379
Never easy to learn of an old friend's death.
99
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:51.899
We doctors run into it all the time, but it's
100
00:06:51.939 --> 00:06:54.740
never easy. Yes, I'm sorry to bring the news, Dr.
101
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:58.230
Adams, but Dr. Wilson wanted it that way. You must
102
00:06:58.250 --> 00:07:02.149
have been very close at one time. Yes, yes, very close.
103
00:07:02.610 --> 00:07:05.269
Henry and I went through medical college together. Yes, sir.
104
00:07:06.089 --> 00:07:11.490
Started up in practice, and then the war came. Life
105
00:07:11.529 --> 00:07:17.509
has many dislocations, Dr. Webber. It does indeed. My purpose
106
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:18.329
in coming here, Dr.
107
00:07:18.379 --> 00:07:21.139
Adams, was not merely to bring you the unhappy news
108
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:22.379
of Henry Wilson's death.
109
00:07:24.019 --> 00:07:27.319
It was to outline some of his last wishes... They
110
00:07:27.350 --> 00:07:33.269
concern you. Concern me? Yes, sir. Dr. Wilson wanted your help. Well,
111
00:07:33.310 --> 00:07:35.089
I don't know what you're getting at, Dr. Weber.
112
00:07:35.110 --> 00:07:39.089
It doesn't make sense. A successful man like Henry Wilson
113
00:07:39.310 --> 00:07:40.230
wanting help from me?
114
00:07:40.350 --> 00:07:46.120
It's because of his success. Well, I don't understand. Yes, well, Dr.
115
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.339
Wilson had established a clinic in Philadelphia. Yes, I've heard
116
00:07:49.379 --> 00:07:52.720
of it. That's why I'm here. He wanted you to
117
00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:57.839
take charge of it after his death. He, uh... He
118
00:07:57.860 --> 00:08:02.680
wanted me? He had a high professional opinion of you, Dr. Adams.
119
00:08:04.790 --> 00:08:09.670
We handled some interesting cases together. Very interesting. But even
120
00:08:09.750 --> 00:08:13.189
more than your professional ability, Dr. Wilson respected your judgment
121
00:08:13.230 --> 00:08:15.529
in handling people. I don't understand.
122
00:08:15.550 --> 00:08:19.089
There are some fine young doctors at his clinic, but
123
00:08:19.129 --> 00:08:20.029
he felt the.
124
00:08:20.129 --> 00:08:22.829
Man in charge should be an older doctor. I'm older,
125
00:08:22.889 --> 00:08:23.189
all right.
126
00:08:23.209 --> 00:08:26.120
A man of seasoned judgment as well as professional skill.
127
00:08:26.139 --> 00:08:26.600
A man of.
128
00:08:28.209 --> 00:08:30.870
Varied experience. Well, a man like you, Dr.
129
00:08:30.970 --> 00:08:31.250
Adams.
130
00:08:31.670 --> 00:08:34.590
I see. It would mean a life of greatly.
131
00:08:34.269 --> 00:08:40.340
Increased medical opportunity for you. Advanced methods, research, and it.
132
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:47.860
Would mean a life of greater, well, comfort. That would
133
00:08:47.899 --> 00:08:48.899
be something, wouldn't it?
134
00:08:48.899 --> 00:08:52.899
After all these years, a chance to go back to...
135
00:08:53.500 --> 00:08:56.350
Practice medicine as I started out to practice it.
136
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.299
It would be a position of considerable importance and influence, Dr.
137
00:08:59.419 --> 00:08:59.720
Adams.
138
00:09:00.299 --> 00:09:03.639
And I should think of considerable financial satisfaction.
139
00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:04.340
Dr.
140
00:09:04.379 --> 00:09:07.210
Wilson wanted to be sure the job was attractive to you.
141
00:09:07.830 --> 00:09:13.690
He wanted you to come. Yes, that would be something. Doc! Doc!
142
00:09:13.710 --> 00:09:14.309
Come in, boy.
143
00:09:14.710 --> 00:09:15.190
It's Billy.
144
00:09:15.490 --> 00:09:17.309
Oh! It's his arm, Doc.
145
00:09:17.330 --> 00:09:18.480
Moss said you was to look at it.
146
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:23.559
Oh, well, sure, sure. Come on in, Billy. Thank you. Well,
147
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:25.220
you won't be able to ride that new coat with
148
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.580
a bum arm, will you? All right, then, come in,
149
00:09:27.620 --> 00:09:32.360
come in. It won't hurt you none, Billy. Now then, boy,
150
00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:36.139
let's have a look at it. Oh, yes, yes.
151
00:09:36.820 --> 00:09:38.639
Looks like you're falling off that coat already.
152
00:09:39.100 --> 00:09:41.679
That's right, Doc, he sure did. Well, we'll have to
153
00:09:41.700 --> 00:09:43.399
put this back together for you then, Billy.
154
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:44.419
Oh, Dr.
155
00:09:44.460 --> 00:09:46.700
River, would you mind getting some gauze and splints out
156
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:47.620
of that cupboard over there?
157
00:09:47.899 --> 00:09:51.279
Why, yes, yes, certainly. Now, let's see here, Billy.
158
00:09:52.450 --> 00:09:54.389
I guess the first thing to do is to get
159
00:09:54.429 --> 00:09:55.340
that shirt off.
160
00:09:56.340 --> 00:09:57.120
Here they are, Dr.
161
00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:57.360
Adams.
162
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:03.899
Oh, thank you. All right now, Billy. We'll fix you
163
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:15.690
up as good as new. Thank you, Doc.
164
00:10:15.950 --> 00:10:17.509
Bye. Bye, boys.
165
00:10:20.620 --> 00:10:22.580
The youngsters stood that very well, didn't they?
166
00:10:22.980 --> 00:10:25.100
Oh, they have to learn to scan things when they're
167
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:32.490
young on the prairie. It's a harsh land. Well, you know, Doctor,
168
00:10:32.529 --> 00:10:34.950
if you stop to think of the proposal I brought
169
00:10:34.970 --> 00:10:36.190
with me... I've been thinking of it.
170
00:10:36.870 --> 00:10:39.730
Life wouldn't be quite so harsh in Philadelphia.
171
00:10:41.610 --> 00:10:44.750
Though I must say, little boys break their arms there, too. Well,
172
00:10:44.769 --> 00:10:45.460
they always did.
173
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:45.940
Ahem.
174
00:10:49.090 --> 00:10:54.710
Yes, Dr. Webber. Life would be easy. That's not what
175
00:10:54.769 --> 00:10:59.059
I'm thinking about the most. It's the thought of the equipment.
176
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:03.679
The chance to use the latest method. To talk things
177
00:11:03.779 --> 00:11:04.710
over with doctors.
178
00:11:05.629 --> 00:11:11.590
Be near libraries. I'd have to learn how to act, Dr. Weber. No, Dr.
179
00:11:11.649 --> 00:11:14.370
Wilson didn't worry about that. Henry was an old and
180
00:11:14.470 --> 00:11:18.950
faithful friend. Doc! Doc! Doc!
181
00:11:19.110 --> 00:11:20.529
All right, Chester, all right.
182
00:11:20.929 --> 00:11:23.799
Well, Doc, there's a fellow that was just rung into jail,
183
00:11:23.860 --> 00:11:24.860
and he's been shot, and Mr.
184
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.120
Dillon said for you to come. Was he bleeding bad, Chester? Oh, my, yes,
185
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.080
like a stuck hog. I'll be right there. Now, this
186
00:11:31.179 --> 00:11:35.070
is Dr. Weber, Chester. Hello, Chester. Hi, Doc. Hey. Well,
187
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.710
I reckon I'll get back downstairs. Yeah, but go on, Chester.
188
00:11:37.750 --> 00:11:42.789
Go on. I'm coming out. Here's your bag, Dr. Adams. Oh,
189
00:11:42.830 --> 00:11:45.309
thank you. Thank you. Say, you'd make a good assistant, Dr. Webber.
190
00:11:45.409 --> 00:11:47.730
Would you like to come with me?
191
00:11:48.029 --> 00:11:50.710
I would indeed.
192
00:11:52.950 --> 00:11:56.850
You know, sometimes the gunshot wounds cause a lot of trouble.
193
00:11:58.149 --> 00:11:59.909
Even if they don't hit a vital spot.
194
00:12:00.950 --> 00:12:05.299
You know, bleeding, infection, and constant danger of locked jaw.
195
00:12:05.379 --> 00:12:05.710
Yeah.
196
00:12:06.830 --> 00:12:09.389
A gun can cause many problems. Too many, Dr.
197
00:12:09.450 --> 00:12:12.029
Webber. Dr.
198
00:12:12.129 --> 00:12:13.279
Adams? Oh, hello, Mrs.
199
00:12:13.299 --> 00:12:13.620
Hoffman.
200
00:12:13.659 --> 00:12:15.559
Oh, we're just coming to see you, doctor. It'll have
201
00:12:15.580 --> 00:12:17.240
to be a little later then, Mrs. Hoffman.
202
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:19.080
It ain't that I need you, Dr. Adams.
203
00:12:19.340 --> 00:12:20.340
I just want to thank you.
204
00:12:20.419 --> 00:12:22.639
Why, there ain't hardly anybody who'll believe.
205
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.730
I'm up and around so soon. That's fine, fine, but
206
00:12:24.769 --> 00:12:26.409
we're in kind of a hurry now. And the baby?
207
00:12:26.450 --> 00:12:28.649
You wouldn't know, there's been a bit of trouble about him.
208
00:12:28.669 --> 00:12:30.610
He's eating like he was trying to catch up with
209
00:12:30.669 --> 00:12:30.870
his pa.
210
00:12:30.889 --> 00:12:33.250
Well, that's good, but you'll have to excuse me now.
211
00:12:33.350 --> 00:12:35.600
I just wanted to say a word of thanks to you, doctor.
212
00:12:35.769 --> 00:12:38.860
Bonnie likes to care if you say a thing. Sounds
213
00:12:38.899 --> 00:12:45.580
like a satisfied customer. Previa placenta. That was a dangerous delivery, doctor.
214
00:12:46.659 --> 00:12:47.200
She's lucky.
215
00:12:49.019 --> 00:12:51.899
You can't very well afford to specialize, can you, doctor?
216
00:12:53.659 --> 00:12:59.029
I specialize in dog sitting. Let's see about that bullet wound.
217
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:16.879
Well, it isn't exactly Philadelphia food, Dr. Webber, but it
218
00:13:16.940 --> 00:13:18.320
keeps us going.
219
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:20.600
All doctors learn to eat when they get the chance.
220
00:13:21.070 --> 00:13:24.629
Though I must say, our pace is generally slower than yours.
221
00:13:25.090 --> 00:13:29.950
I guess so. Your morning has been rather full. A
222
00:13:29.990 --> 00:13:33.610
broken arm, a bullet wound, a pair of twinges. Don't
223
00:13:33.629 --> 00:13:36.340
forget the sick horse I read. I'm not likely to
224
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:40.720
forget that. No, seriously, Dr. Adams, don't you think... The
225
00:13:40.899 --> 00:13:43.370
practice I can offer you in Philadelphia would give you
226
00:13:43.590 --> 00:13:47.669
a more productive life. Well, I'm trying to get the
227
00:13:47.730 --> 00:13:51.649
time to think about it, Dr. Weber. I can't deny
228
00:13:51.710 --> 00:13:57.600
that it is an interesting idea. It's very interesting. The opportunities.
229
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:01.600
The opportunities for participating in medical advances would be tremendous.
230
00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:07.539
And I should think most satisfying... And there's something else, Doctor,
231
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:09.679
that I don't wish to sound presumptuous about.
232
00:14:09.700 --> 00:14:12.580
Oh, don't you worry about it. I know. I'm getting older.
233
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:15.299
It's just that life might be easy.
234
00:14:15.340 --> 00:14:15.600
Doc.
235
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:20.759
Doc. It's Mary. She's fainted dead away. I can't rouse her.
236
00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:23.279
Where is she? She's out to the place. I had
237
00:14:23.299 --> 00:14:25.610
a ride to get you. All right, Tom. Go on
238
00:14:25.669 --> 00:14:31.669
back to her. I'll come. Right away, Doc? Right away.
239
00:14:31.690 --> 00:14:34.649
You stay on and finish your dinner, Doctor. Certainly not.
240
00:14:35.529 --> 00:14:48.100
I don't want to miss any of this. Oh, Doc. Doc,
241
00:14:48.419 --> 00:14:53.080
I'm glad you got here so fast. She's, uh, roused some,
242
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:56.629
but it hurts her awful bad. All right, Tom. Oh,
243
00:14:56.620 --> 00:14:59.009
this is Dr. Webber from Philadelphia. Hello. We'll look at
244
00:14:59.029 --> 00:15:03.590
it together. Hello, Tom. Doc? Yes, Tom? You sure this
245
00:15:03.789 --> 00:15:07.470
fellow's a good doctor? I'm sure he is, Tom. Let's go.
246
00:15:07.549 --> 00:15:10.289
Is he as good as you are, Doc? Well, most
247
00:15:10.330 --> 00:15:12.649
people say he was better. I'd want to be sure
248
00:15:12.710 --> 00:15:15.470
before he came married. You can be sure.
249
00:15:15.490 --> 00:15:16.610
Okay.
250
00:15:18.350 --> 00:15:24.100
I'll tell her you're here. Thanks for your recommendation, Doctor.
251
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:28.320
A man wouldn't get far without a... No, they just
252
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:41.720
know me. In here, Doc. Well, hello, Mary. This is Dr. Weber.
253
00:15:41.860 --> 00:15:42.159
Doc.
254
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:43.919
Doc.
255
00:15:45.500 --> 00:15:46.419
Can you help me?
256
00:15:47.460 --> 00:15:53.460
If you'll let me. That operation? I told you, Mary.
257
00:15:53.539 --> 00:15:56.490
You should have had it before. It's the only chance
258
00:15:56.500 --> 00:15:56.879
you've got.
259
00:15:58.190 --> 00:15:59.250
Tom.
260
00:16:00.389 --> 00:16:04.690
I can't say no again, Mary. You just took too bad.
261
00:16:06.370 --> 00:16:09.350
You go ahead, Doc. Would you assist me, Dr. Wilkins?
262
00:16:10.129 --> 00:16:33.179
I'd be proud to, Dr. Adams. Dr. Adams. Dr. Adams. Oh,
263
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:39.080
I'm sorry. I was thinking. I wondered if you'd noticed me. Well,
264
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:42.720
it looks to me like I got an Indian waiting
265
00:16:42.740 --> 00:16:45.830
there by the road. Oh, yes. Yes, I see him. Well,
266
00:16:46.250 --> 00:16:48.190
I guess the best way is to pay no attention
267
00:16:48.210 --> 00:16:52.970
to him, isn't it? No, no. Dr. Adams. He wants
268
00:16:52.990 --> 00:17:02.679
to talk to me. Are you sure you should? Well, hello,
269
00:17:02.700 --> 00:17:09.329
strong bird. I bring room. There you are. That is
270
00:17:09.430 --> 00:17:13.849
a fine robe, Strongbird. You killed a big buffalo. The
271
00:17:13.910 --> 00:17:17.410
robe is for my son's eyes. You didn't need to
272
00:17:17.430 --> 00:17:19.859
bring a gift, Strongbird. I was glad to help you.
273
00:17:20.779 --> 00:17:23.099
White doctor brings sight back to son.
274
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:27.819
Strongbird brings thanks from his people. You tell your people
275
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:40.809
that they're welcome. I thank them for the robe. Strongbird, go. Dr. Webber,
276
00:17:40.990 --> 00:17:46.029
can you hold this rope for me? Mm-hmm. Oh, yes, certainly.
277
00:17:46.069 --> 00:17:56.880
Yes, certainly.
278
00:17:56.890 --> 00:18:01.839
Dr. Adams, you treat Indians, too? Well, only when they
279
00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:10.309
let me, Dr. Webber. Only when they let me. Dr. Adams... Yes?
280
00:18:11.309 --> 00:18:12.369
We have a lot.
281
00:18:12.250 --> 00:18:14.670
Of things to offer you in Philadelphia, but I was
282
00:18:14.730 --> 00:18:15.710
wrong about one thing.
283
00:18:16.809 --> 00:18:18.660
We can't offer you more variety.
284
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:24.359
I have seen some astounding things today. I just watched
285
00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:29.210
you perform a delicate and dangerous operation under the crudest circumstances.
286
00:18:30.130 --> 00:18:32.349
And perform it with as much skill as though you
287
00:18:32.369 --> 00:18:35.549
had the latest equipment. Well, you learn to use what
288
00:18:35.589 --> 00:18:39.670
you've got, Dr. Webber. And I've seen you receive thanks
289
00:18:39.690 --> 00:18:45.390
from the wild Indians. Oh, Indians are people. You know,
290
00:18:46.829 --> 00:18:50.970
I wasn't so sure at first, Dr. Adams. But now
291
00:18:51.029 --> 00:18:54.910
I know. We would be very lucky to have you
292
00:18:54.990 --> 00:19:02.329
in Philadelphia. If you feel you can come. Well, I'd
293
00:19:02.470 --> 00:19:08.410
like to come, but... But you're not coming, are you? No,
294
00:19:09.329 --> 00:19:12.450
I guess I'm not. A man has to stay where
295
00:19:12.490 --> 00:19:16.950
he's needed. I haven't made much of a mark in medicine.
296
00:19:17.970 --> 00:19:20.849
Then maybe I'd have more of a chance of that, but...
297
00:19:21.750 --> 00:19:29.460
But I'm needed here, Dr. Webber. I'm needed here. Can
298
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:32.559
you understand that? I can understand it, Dr.
299
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:32.859
Adams.
300
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:36.599
And I can even injure you.
301
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:38.640
Here's your bag.
302
00:19:49.460 --> 00:19:52.640
Here's your bag, Dr. Weber. Thank you. And here's this
303
00:19:52.700 --> 00:19:57.549
payment for my bill. Thank you, sir. I hope you
304
00:19:57.569 --> 00:20:00.569
had a pleasant stay in Dodge City. Oh, yes. Yes, indeed.
305
00:20:00.970 --> 00:20:03.329
It was certainly a pleasure having a man like you
306
00:20:03.450 --> 00:20:03.910
visit us.
307
00:20:04.789 --> 00:20:05.730
I hope you'll come again.
308
00:20:06.049 --> 00:20:06.430
Thank you.
309
00:20:06.970 --> 00:20:09.170
We don't get a chance to see a fine doctor
310
00:20:09.190 --> 00:20:10.390
in Dodge very often.
311
00:20:13.589 --> 00:20:18.630
Oh, yes, you do, Mr. Dobie. Yes, you do. Every day.
312
00:20:20.460 --> 00:20:51.480
