THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED
The Doctor
I thought so. [Another long pause.] I’ve been trying to figure out how to make things easiest for Tony. It upset me a good deal. Doctors get shocked more often than you’d think. . . . And a girl like Amy, too. . . . I didn’t know what to do. I guess it’s up to you.
Joe
Poor old Tony!
The Doctor
You might have thought of him sooner—and of Amy, too, for that matter.
Joe
It wasn’t on purpose. It was only once! But—honest to God, we wouldn’t either of us have put anything like that over on old Tony. Not for a million dollars!
The Doctor
You couldn’t have wasted much time about it.
Joe
It was the first night.
The Doctor
Good Lord!
