Episode 8, You're Going to be Fine.
In the first act, Dr. Stewart wants to schedule an operation for a boy named Carl Herrera.
The boy has infected tonsils and we should remove him as soon as possible.
Carl needs an operation soon.
He has been very sick.
He's had so many colds and sore throats recently.
But Carl doesn't want to have the operation.
I don't want my tonsils out.
Why doesn't Carl want to be in the hospital now?
Molly, I need your special talent for handling special matters.
Like what special matters?
Well, I have a scheduling problem.
Yes?
I have three tonsillectomies set for Friday with Dr. Earl.
Yes?
I need to fit a fourth operation into his schedule, and I know you can do it.
Who's the patient?
Carl Herrera.
The boy has infected tonsils, and we should remove them as soon as possible.
Well, I'll try to arrange the schedule, Dr. Stewart, but it's not going to be easy.
I know you'll be able to take care of it.
Oh.
Well, Mrs. Herrera, Carl will be perfectly fine after we remove his tonsils.
Thank you for your reassurance, Dr. Stewart.
He's had so many colds and sore throats recently.
Well, it's a very easy operation, Carl.
You won't feel a thing.
But when do they do it?
This Friday.
But Saturday's my birthday.
Well, we could reschedule the operation, Mrs. Herrera, but I don't want to put it off too long.
No, I think it's important to do it now.
We can have a birthday party for you, Carl, when you come out of the hospital.
But it won't be on my birthday.
But your health is more important, Carl.
Believe me.
I don't want my tonsils out.
Nurse Baker, would you come in, please?
Hello, Mrs. Herrera.
Hi, Carl.
How are you doing?
I don't want my tonsils out.
Come with me, Carl.
You and I will talk this over.
She has a special way with kids.
She sure does.
Carl, does your throat hurt?
Yes.
OK.
Do you want to get better?
Yes.
OK.
We want you to get better, too.
You'll have your tonsils out tomorrow, and you won't get so many calls anymore.
But if I have my tonsils out tomorrow, I'll miss my birthday party on Saturday.
I know.
It's a problem, isn't it?
Let me try to work something out.
What?
You're fooling me.
Oh, I'm not, Carl.
Give me a chance to think about it, and I'll come up with something.
A surprise?
Maybe.
But you just put on your pajamas and robe, and I'll think of a surprise.
Will it hurt?
No.
There are other boys and girls here, and they're having their tonsils out.
You'll meet them.

In the second act, the nurse, Molly Baker, plays a game with the children at the hospital.
The name of the game is Charades.
Six words.
It has six words.
That's easy.
I can play.
But Carl Herrera won't play the game.
I don't like babies.
Dr. Stewart tries to help.
Why don't you want to play?
Because I don't want to be here.
Carl is upset because he wants something else.
What does Carl want?
OK, do you know how to play charades?
Frank, you've never played charades?
No.
Carl, you're sure you've never played?
OK, Betty, Tim, and Frank, we're going to play charades.

Well, they're babies.
You're a sore loser.
Yeah.
No arguing.
Save your voices.
Between now and tomorrow, you're all going to have your tonsils out.
And you won't be able to speak for a while, so save your voices till then.
Hi, gang.
Hi, everybody.
Well, uh...
What's going on?
I sure am glad to see you, Dr. Stewart.
This is a rough group.
I didn't want to play charades, so they're angry at me.
Why don't you want to play?
Because I don't want to be here.
I don't want my tonsils out.
Why not?
Because my birthday is tomorrow.
My mother promised me a birthday party with a clown.
But you can have one when you go home, Carl.
But my birthday is tomorrow.
I'm sorry, Carl.
Carl, you'll have your party when you go home.

You need some rest to help you get better quickly.
