:25:04
If I did actually barf my brains out...
:25:10
it would be a great loss to my discipline.
:25:13
Of course, many of my colleagues
would be relieved...
:25:15
to say nothing of my students.
:25:19
It's not that I'm controversial.
:25:22
Just uncompromising.
:25:33
False alarm.
:25:41
If the word went around that
Vivian Bearing had barfed her brains out...
:25:46
first my colleagues,
most of whom are my former students...
:25:50
would scramble madly for my position.
:25:53
And then their consciences would flare up.
:25:56
So to honor my memory,
they'd put together a collection...
:25:59
of their essays about John Donne.
:26:03
The volume would begin
with a warm introduction...
:26:06
capturing my most endearing qualities.
:26:08
It would be short but sweet.
:26:13
Published and perished.
:26:18
Now, watch this.
:26:22
I have to ring the bell.
:26:27
How you doing, Miss Bearing?
You having some nausea?
:26:30
- Yes.
- Okay, I'll be with you in a second.
:26:35
Someone has to come and
measure this emesis...
:26:39
and record it on a chart
of my intake and output.
:26:43
This counts as output.
:26:54
It's about 300 ccs.
:26:58
Is that all?
