Transcript For Strip 2161
Panel 1Otto is in a room with two patient beds. He's refilling a cabinet with fresh linens. There's an upset patient in one of the beds, Cesar, yelling at the wall across from him. Here we can see that Cesar has a heart-lung machine installed (waiting for new heart and lungs to be grown). His roommate, Ren, is looking simply grumpy. Ren has some tubes coming out of him but he seems less encumbered.
Cesar: Damn lyin' piece of hog snot!! You should be taken out back and shot!
Ren: {sigh}
Otto: What's wrong, Senhor ...Vásquez?
Panel 2
Angle view so we see Cesar pointing at the 3D Viewtank mounted on the wall across from him. It's showing Jerome Falstaff delivering another report.
Falstaff (electronic): … talks keep hitting one snag after another, while ...
Cesar: That mendacious nit-wit! He's tryin' t' tear the city apart!
Otto: Oh, yeah, Falstaff.
Panel 3
Otto has come over next to Cesar's bed, and is adjusting his pillows. Here we can see that Cesar has a heart-lung machine installed (waiting for new heart and lungs to be grown).
Cesar: You don't believe his garbage, do you?
Otto: Not at all. But Senhor Vásquez, maybe you should avoid his newstreams.
Otto: Your Cardi-Pul machine has a difficult time when you're stressed.
Panel 4
New angle to include Ren in the frame. Now Cesar and Ren are bitching at each other, and Otto is looking nervous.
Ren: That old coot is not happy unless he's angry about something.
Cesar: 'Old coot?' I'm 53 years younger than you, ya bag'o'bones!
Otto: How about I put on a classic sit-com for you guys?
