Doctot.I'm afraid Miss Feeney..
Shirley(gasps and holds hands over face).I knew it ! She's gonna die! Oh..Vernie!Vernie!Vernie!Why don't you ever listen to me!
Laverne(moaning). I ain't gonna die!
Doctor.She's right,she's not dying.
Shirley.Then..what?
Doctor.She simply has a case of the mumps.
Laverne.See I only have the mumps.(Startled)The MUMPS?!Doc Ya gotta do somethin' and quick..I'm too old to have the mumps.
Shirley.Calm down Vernie,I'm sure everything will be alright.
Doctor(takes tongue depressor out of bag).I'm glad you feel that way Miss Feeney.Now open up and say "AH!"!
Shirley.Well..Doctor...I'm feeling perfectly fine,it's Laverne we have to worry about.
Doctor.Miss Feeney the mumps can be very contagious,so just humor me.
Laverne.Yeah,humor the man Shirl' after all he is a doctor.(winks)
Shirley.Oh,very well.But I bet this is all going to be for nothing I feel in the pink.
Doctor.Just say "AH!"!
Shirley.AH!
Doctor(looks at Shirley's throat and then feels her face and throat).Just as I suspected you are showing signs of coming down with the same symptoms as your friend.
Shirley.Y'mean I have the mumps?
Doctor.'Fraid so.You both will need to be quarintined for the next couple weeks.So if you have any plans cancel them!
