Whose that author?

When I say impotent, I mean I've lost even my desire to work. That's a hell of a lot more primal passion than sex. I've lost my reason for being. My purpose. The only thing I ever truly loved. … We have established the most enormous, medical entity ever conceived and people are sicker than ever! WE CURE NOTHING! WE HEAL NOTHING! The whole goddamn wretched world is strangulating in front of our eyes. That's what I mean when I say impotent. You don't know what the hell I'm talking about, do you?...I'm tired. I'm very tired, Miss Drummond. And I hurt. And I've got nothing going for me anymore. Can you understand that?...And you also understand that the only admissible matter left is death.

Hey stop needling me!

Well I guess she can't stop. She is doing acupuncture.

That's right I am going for acupuncture this afternoon. I am having them work on my leg and ankle that has been killing me. We are trying to take care of all our physical stuff before we start filming. So in a couple of hours I am going to look like a pincushion.

Which sucks.

Because usually I am the one needling people.

Please Dr. Gannon.

"Please Dr. Gannon I have to get back to work. So many shut-in's and mental defectives are counting on me."

"I'm sorry dear but it was a difficult operation to remove you foot from your mouth, you will need some time to recuperate before you go back to your normal activities."

"Well I guess you are the Doctor, Doctor."

"One thing though."

"What's that?'

"It would be a lot easier for you if you didn't keep going around with your head up your ass...just saying."

Please Dr. Gannon

"I am sorry Nurse but due to cutbacks we are going to have to let you go."
"But what will I do Dr Gannon. I have no skills other than nursing. And I like to write."
"Well then maybe you should do that. And you can still nurse."
"Really nurse what?"
"A grudge. That is really what you do best."

I am sorry Doctor but the lab results confirm it.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

"No get away from me you freak!"

"Wait I promise I heated up the thermometer."
