Strangers with Candy1999

Jerri Blank:
Dr. Trepanning, can you get all the crazy out of my daddy?

Dr. Trepanning:
I can't make any promises, Jerri, but I promise I will. I'll use every tool at my disposal: medication, drugs, *and* pills.

Jerri Blank:
Well how long will it take?

Dr. Trepanning:
What is it, Wednesday? Thirty years.

Jerri Blank:
What? I need him by this afternoon!

Dr. Trepanning:
Jerri, the brain is a delicate and highly complicated organ. I know, I've taken a few of them apart and every time I put them back together, there's always a few extra parts laying around.

Jerri Blank:
Why can't you just drill a hole in his skull to let the demons out?

Dr. Trepanning:
[chuckles] Jerri, drilling a hole in the skull to let the demons out is a pretty archaic treatment of mental illness. Today, we sedate the demons until they become addicted, and then we coax them out with a piece of meat. It takes years.
