Hackenbush:
Record department. Col. Hawkins talkin'.

Whitmore:
Col. Hawkins, did you get a wire for me regarding Dr. Hackenbush?

Hackenbush:
[Turns on a fan] I'm sorry sir. There's a hurricane blowin' down here, and you have to talk a little louder. Woo! It's certainly the windiest day we ever had! WOO! Certainly is windy!

Whitmore:
I want to find out about Dr. HACKENBUSH!

Hackenbush:
[turns on the intercom, pulling Whitmore away from the phone] Whitmore you have to cut out that squawking! The patients are all complaining! [on the phone, posing as Colonel Hawkins] ...I hope, sir, that's the information that you require.

Whitmore:
I'm sorry, Colonel. I didn't hear it. I was called to the dictagraph.

Hackenbush:
What was that you said sir?

Whitmore:
[loudly] I was called to the dictagraph....I want to find out something about Hackenbush.

[Whitmore is called to the intercom again.]

Hackenbush:

Hackenbush:
You mean, Dr. Hackenbush? Oh no. He's not here.

Whitmore:
I know he's not there. He's here!

Hackenbush:
