Burr DeBenning: Dr. Asa T. Logan

Quotes 

• Dr. Hiram Baker : [packing up his office as Dr. Logan moves his things in]  I brought all the patients' records up to date. Complete histories, medications, prognoses, it's all there.

  Dr. Asa T. Logan : Is there much to do around here?

  Dr. Hiram Baker : There's plenty of work, don't worry about that.

  Dr. Asa T. Logan : Actually, I was referring to the social life.

  Dr. Hiram Baker : Oh. Well, there's the usual church socials, some dances, that sort of thing.

  Dr. Asa T. Logan : How's the hunting?

  Dr. Hiram Baker : If you can find the time, there's plenty of game. There's one patient I'm particularly concerned about: Mrs. Novack. I'd like you to drive out there and see her as soon as you can; she's expecting.

  Dr. Asa T. Logan : [examining the hunting rifle he just removed from its casing]  Remember, Doctor, you're retired.

  Dr. Hiram Baker : Of course. But she's already lost two babies.

  Dr. Asa T. Logan : Thank you, Doctor. I'll keep an eye on her.

  Dr. Hiram Baker : Well, I guess that's it. Except to say goodbye and good luck.

  [retrieves his hat] 

  Dr. Asa T. Logan : Aren't you taking any of this with you?

  Dr. Hiram Baker : It's all yours now, Doctor.

  Dr. Asa T. Logan : Except this, of course.

  [retrieves Dr. Baker's medical bag] 

  Dr. Asa T. Logan : A doctor's bag, after all, is as personal as his clothing.

  Dr. Hiram Baker : Or his conscience.

  [takes the bag and exits his now-former office, stopping to remove the "H. Baker, M.D." sign from the outside wall] 

• Dr. Asa T. Logan : [opening supply closet, only to be pelted by falling apples previously given to Dr. Baker in lieu of payment]  Rotten apples! This place is more like a barn than a doctor's office!
