The plan is in motion
August 5, 1999

 ASA: YOU SHOULD'VE HEARD THAT VEGAS MOB DOCTOR GOING ON TO THE HOSPITAL BOARD ABOUT HOW MUCH HE WANTED TO GET BACK IN HEALING AGAIN.
 MAX: THE PROBLEM IS THE BOARD BOUGHT IT.  THEY VOTED HIM IN, SO THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT HIM NOW.
 SKYE: WANT TO BET?
 MAX: OH, YOU INVOLVED IN THIS, TOO?
 SKYE: YOU'RE QUICK.  ASA, CAN I SPEAK TO YOU ALONE, PLEASE?
 ASA: YOU CAN TALK IN FRONT OF MY SON.
 SKYE: I'D RATHER NOT, IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
 ASA: WELL, YOU SEE, I'M PAYING THE CHECK, SO THE "RATHER NOTS" I GET.  GO ON.
 SKYE: I SPOKE TO MY CONTACT IN NEVADA.  HE GOT INTO THE RECORDS, MADE A FEW ALTERATIONS, AND PRESTO -- DR. DAVIDSON IS PLAIN OLD MISTER.
 MAX: HMM.
 ASA: YOU ARE GOOD.
 MAX: YOU DON'T THINK VIKI'S GOING TO HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS?
 ASA: SO WHAT IF SHE DOES?
 SKYE: WHO'S VIKI?
 ASA: VIKI IS BEN'S GIRLFRIEND, MY SON'S EX-WIFE.  MAX, VIKI CAN SQUAWK ALL SHE WANTS.  SHE'S NOT GOING TO MAKE THEM CHANGE THEIR MIND ABOUT HIRING A DOCTOR WHO CAN'T PRACTICE
MEDICINE.   AND BESIDES, THE TWO OF THEM MAKE ME SICK TO MY STOMACH, MOONING AROUND
AND COOING TO ONE ANOTHER.
 MAX: YOU KNOW, WHY STOP AT GETTING HIM BOOTED FROM THE HOSPITAL?  WHY NOT PUT HIM OUT
OF COMMISSION A LITTLE LONGER?
 SKYE: PLEASE.  EVERYTHING IS GOING LIKE CLOCKWORK HERE.
 ASA: NO, NO, NO.  LET'S SEE WHAT THE BOY HAS IN MIND.
 MAX: WELL, WOULDN'T IT BE MUCH WORSE IF BEN WERE CAUGHT ACTUALLY PRACTICING
WITHOUT A LICENSE?
 SKYE: HOW DO YOU ARRANGE THAT?
 MAX: OH, THE RAPPAPORT-DAVIDSONS ARE WELL-KNOWN BLEEDING HEARTS.  THEY'RE SUCKERS FOR SOMEONE IN NEED.  WE JUST PROVIDE THEM WITH THAT SOMEONE.
 ASA: AND THE SWEETEST THING WOULD BE IF I WAS THE POOR SAP HE WAS TREATING,
BECAUSE DOING HIS GOOD DEED COST HIM HIS JOB AND HIS FREEDOM.  I LIKE THE WAY YOU THINK, BOY.  SKYE, THAT'S A BUCHANAN, THROUGH AND THROUGH.
 SKYE: YEAH, VERY INVENTIVE, BUT NOBODY'S GOING TO BUY IT.
 ASA: OH, MAX! MY HEART!
 MAX: WHAT IS IT?  WHAT'S WRONG?  DIAL 911!
 ASA: NOBODY'S GOING TO BUY IT, HONEY?

SKYE: YOU'LL SEE THIS GETS INTO THE RIGHT HANDS?
 NURSE: SURE.

MAX: ARE WE JUST GOING TO WAIT HERE?  WE'RE STARTING TO LOOK A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS.
 ASA: YOU'RE RIGHT.  THE WAITING'S OVER.  HERE HE IS.  OH!
 BEN: WHOA! WHOA!  GET THAT CHAIR.  THIS MAN NEEDS TREATMENT, STAT.  IN HERE. BRING HIM IN HERE.
 SKYE: ASA, WHAT HAPPENED?  I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO COLLAPSE.
 ASA: THAT'S MY BOY.
