You're Goingto Be Fine
Act 1.
Philip: Molly, I need your special talent for handing special maters.
Molly: Like what special matters?
Philip: Well, I have a scheduling problem.
Molly: Yes?
Philip: I have three tonsillectomies set for Friday with Dr. Earl.
Molly: Yes?
Philip: I need to fit a fourth operation into his schedule. And...I know you can do it.
Molly: Who's the patient?
Philip: Carl Herrera. The boy has infected tonsils, and we should remove them as soon as possible.
Molly: Well, I'll try to arrange th schedule, Dr. Stewart. But it's not going to be easy.
Philip: I know you'll be able to take care of it.
Philip: Well, Mrs. Herrera, Carl will be perfectly fine after we remove his tonsils.
Mother: Thank you for your reassurance, Dr. Stewart. He's had so many colds and sore throats recently.
Philip: Well, It's a very easy operation, Carl. You won't feel a thing.
Carl: But when do they do it?
Philip: This Friday.
Carl: But Saturday's my birthday.
Philip: Well, we could reschedule the operation, Mrs. Herrera, but I don't want to put it off too long.
Mother: No, I think it's important to do it now. We can have a birthday party for you, Carl, when you come out of the hospital.
Philip: Nurse Baker, would you come in, please?
Molly: Come with me, Carl. You and I will talk this over.
Mother: She has a special way with kids.
Philip: She sure does.
Molly: Carl, does your throat hurt?
Carl: Yes.
Molly: OK. Do you want to get better?
Carl: Yes.
Molly: OK. We want you to get better, too. You'll have your tonsils out tomorrow, and you won't get so many colds anymore.
Carl: But if I have my tonsils out tomorrow, I'll miss my birthday party on Saturday.
Molly: I know. It's a problem, isn't it? Let me try to work something out.
Carl: What?
Molly: I have to think about it.
Carl: You're fooling me .
Molly: Oh, I'm not, Carl. Give me a chance to think about it, and I'll come up with something.
Carl: A surprise?
Molly: Maybe. But you just put on your pajamas and robe, and I'll think of a surprise.
Carl: Will it hurt?
Molly: No. There are other boys and girls here, and they're having their tonsils out. You'll meet them.
Carl: I don't want to.
Molly: Change your clothes, Carl. Everything will be just fine.

Act 2.
Molly: OK. Do you know how to play charades?
Molly: Frank, you've never played charades?
Frank: Nope.
Molly: Carl, you're sure you've never played? OK, Betty, Tim, and Frank. We're going to play charades. Frank, you can learn as we go. And, Carl, you join in at anytime. OK, let me think. OK, I've got one .All right.

Betty: I got it!
Frank: I got it!
Molly: Carl, now you know charades. Why don't join us?
Carl: I don't like charades. It's for babies.
Molly: Oh, I like it
Carl: Well, they're babies.
Betty: You're a sore loser.
Tim: Yeah.
Molly: No arguing. Save your voices. Between now and tomorrow you're all going to have your tonsils out. And you won't be able to speak for a while. So save your voices till then.
Philip: Hi, gang. Hi, everybody. Well, what's going on?
Molly: I sure I am glad to see you, Dr. Stewart. This is a rough group.
Carl: I didn't want to play charades, so they're angry at me.
Philip: Why don't you want to play?
Carl: Because I don't want to be here. I don't want my tonsils out.
Philip: Why not?
Carl: Because my birthday is tomorrow. My mother promised me a birthday party with a clown.
Molly: But you can have on when you go home, Carl.
Carl: But my birthday is tomorrow.
Philip: I'm sorry, Carl.
Molly: Carl, you'll have your party when you go home.
Carl: But it won't be on my birthday! And you promised me a surprise.

Molly: You'll feel better tomorrow, Betty, believe me. Only one day, and it won't hurt as much. Do you feel like eating? Having some dinner? Oh, don't look so sad. Let me tell you about your dinner. It's ice cream
Molly: Ice cream. All kinds of flavors. Chocolate.
Molly: Strawberry?
Molly: Vanilla?
Molly: Vanilla, too?
Molly: I see you're feeling better already, Betty. So you will have dinner?
Molly: OK, honey, we'll see to it that you have strawberry and vanilla ice cream. Just rest now. You need some rest to help you get better quickly. Hi Frank. How you doing?

Molly: I know it hurts. But it'll be better tomorrow. In the meantime, what would you like?
Carl: Surprise.

Molly: Your birthday is tomorrow, isn't it?
Molly: Well, maybe, just maybe, there will be a surprise. But first you have to smile. I just want to see one smile from you.
Molly: No smile, no surprise . That's the deal. No smile, no surprise. If you want a surprise, then you've got to smile first.
Molly: How you all doing? Well, I'm glad you're feeling better because we have a little surprise for you today. It's Carl's birthday, and we have Popo the Clown to entertain you. And here he is -- Popo the Clown.

早日康复
ACT 1
菲利普：莫莉，我需要你的特殊才能来处理特殊的问题。
莫莉：像哪一类的特殊问题？
菲利普：嗯，我安排工作日程遇到了困难。
莫莉：什么困难？
菲利普：星期五我和厄尔医师约定了三个扁桃体摘除手术。
莫莉：那怎么样呢？
菲利普：我需要在他这个日程表里再插进第四例手术。而……我知道你能代我办妥的。
莫莉：患儿是谁？
菲利普：卡尔•赫列拉。这男孩子扁桃体感染了，我们得尽快给他摘除扁桃体。
莫利：好吧，菲利普医生，我努力把日程安排好。可是怕不太容易。
菲利普：我就知道你能给办妥的。
[莫莉摇头，笑出了声来。]
当天又过了一会儿，在菲利普医生的办公室里菲利普正在和患儿的母亲赫列拉夫人以及她10岁的儿子卡尔谈话。
菲利普：[他看着卡尔的病历单。]嗯，赫列拉夫人，在我们摘除卡尔的扁桃体以后，他会很好地康复的。
母亲：谢谢你使我放心，斯图尔特医生。他最近老是感冒和嗓子疼。
菲利普：手术很容易做，卡尔。你一点也感不到疼的。
卡尔：可是什么时候做手术？
菲利普：星期五。
卡尔：可我星期六过生日。
菲利普：[看了看约诊登记册。]赫列拉夫人，我们可以重新安排手术时间，可是我不想把这手术推迟太久。
母亲：是，我想还是该马上就做手术。卡尔，我们可以在你出院时给你开生日庆祝会。
卡尔：那就不是我过生日那一天了。
母亲：卡尔，你要听我的话，你的健康更重要。
卡尔：我不要摘除扁桃体。
菲利普：[他按响内部对讲机的蜂鸣器，叫莫莉来。] 贝克护士，劳驾请你进来一下，行吗？
莫莉：[她进来了。] 你好，赫列拉夫人。嗨，卡尔，你好吗？
卡尔：我不要摘除扁桃体。
莫莉：跟我来，咱们俩把这事儿谈一谈。[她带着卡尔出去了。]
母亲：她对付孩子很有办法。
菲利普：谁说不是。
在医院里一个地方，卡尔坐在沙发上，他很不高兴。莫莉进来想让他高兴起来，她给他拿来了医院的睡衣和罩袍。
莫莉：卡尔，你嗓子疼吗？
卡尔：疼。
莫莉：好，那么你想病好吗？
卡尔：想
莫莉：好，我们也想让你病好。你明天就要摘除扁桃体了，以后你就不会老是感冒了。
卡尔：可是要是我明天摘除扁桃体，那星期六就不能过生日庆祝会了。
莫莉：我明白。这真是个问题，是不是？让我想个办法解决问题。
卡尔：什么办法？
莫莉：我得好好想一下。
卡尔：你在哄我。
莫莉：噢，卡尔，我不哄你。你给我个机会想一下，我会想出个办法的。
卡尔：是个意料不到的惊喜吗？
莫莉：可能，你先穿上睡衣和袍子，我会想到意料不到的办法。
卡尔：会疼吗？
莫莉：不疼的。这里还有别的男孩和女孩，他们也要摘除扁桃体。你会见到他们的。
卡尔：我不要见到他们。
莫莉：换衣服吧，卡尔。一切都会很好的。

[卡尔摇头，表示没有玩过。]
莫莉：那么好，贝蒂、蒂姆和弗兰克，我们开始玩猜哑谜。弗兰克，我们一面玩，你一面学。还有卡尔，你随便什么时候都可以参加进来。好，让我想一想。得，我有了一个字了。[她在一张纸上写一个题目谜底。她把纸放在桌上，让谁也看不到谜底。] 好。[她做出猜哑谜的动作，谜底是“movie”（电影），假装左手握着旧式的电影摄影机，用右手转动旋柄。]
贝蒂：电影！电影！

费兰克：像no。
莫莉：[用手指摸鼻子] 完全正确，弗兰克。声音像no。好。我们猜到是一部电影，6个字，第一个字声音像no。
弗兰克：Row, Row.

贝蒂：我猜着了！我猜着了！
弗兰克：Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. （《白雪公主和七个小矮人》）
[莫莉把写着电影名字的纸给大家看。]
贝蒂：我猜着的！
弗兰克：我先猜着的！
莫莉：弗兰克，是我猜着的。贝蒂，你也想到了，可是你没说出来。
蒂姆：我刚才心里也知道了。
莫莉：卡尔，现在你知道猜哑谜怎么猜了。为什么不和我们一起玩呢？
卡尔：我不喜欢猜哑谜，那是给小娃娃玩的。
莫莉：噢，我喜欢玩。
卡尔：反正，他们都是娃娃。
贝蒂：你是个输不起的人。
蒂姆：对。
莫莉：不要争了，省着点嗓子吧。从现在到明天，你们都要一个个摘除扁桃体。你们要有一段时间不能说话，所以把嗓子省着到能说话时候再用。[她用手指自己的喉咙。]
菲利普：[他进来了。]嗨，各位。嗨，大家好。你们在闹什么？
莫莉：我看到你真是高兴，斯图尔特医生。[玩笑地说]这一帮孩子真够闹的。
卡尔：我不想玩猜哑谜，所以他们都生我的气了。
菲利普：你为什么不想玩？
卡尔：因为我不想呆在这儿，我不想摘除扁桃体。
菲利普：为什么不想摘除扁桃体？
卡尔：因为明天是我过生日。我母亲答应给我开个生日庆祝会，还要有小丑来表演呢。
莫莉：可是你回家以后还是可以开生日庆祝会的嘛，卡尔。
卡尔：可是我的生日是明天。
菲利普：我很抱歉，卡尔。
莫莉：卡尔，你回家后可以再开生日庆祝会的。
卡尔：那就不是我生日那天了！[对莫莉说] 你还答应我让我有意料不到的惊喜呢。

[卡尔说不出更多的话来，他说话很困难。]
莫莉：你明天过生日，对不对？
[他点头。]
莫莉：嗯，可能，只不过可能而已，会有惊喜的事的。可是首先你得笑一下，我只要看到你笑一下。
[卡尔不笑。]
莫莉：不笑的话，就没有惊喜的事。就这么定了。你要是不笑，就不给你办惊喜的事。你如果想要有惊喜的事，那么你先得笑。
[卡尔终于微笑了。]
