[Matsunaga is slumped in a chair, his hand bandaged up. The doctor brings him a glass of water. Matsunaga drinks and starts coughing. The doctor looks at him, but goes back to what he was doing]
Matsunaga:
Gimme something for my cold, too. Can't seem to shake it.
Dr. Sanada:
Your high living substantially increases your risk of tuberculosis.
Matsunaga:
I'm hardly the type.
Dr. Sanada:
There's no type. Don't kid yourself into thinking there is. Athletes get it all the time. TB can creep up on anyone. Trouble with tuberculosis is that you don't feel a thing. By the time the fever and coughing start, it's too late.
[He studies Matsunaga, who is lighting a cigarette]
Dr. Sanada:
You scared?
Matsunaga:
Scared? You talking about me?
[He scoffs and flicks his cigarette away]
Matsunaga:
I'm no coward! You're really full of yourself. I hate doctors! All you do is exaggerate to make more money.
Dr. Sanada:
Oh, yeah. A doctor with five TB patients is riding a gravy train.
[Matsunaga coughs again. Dr. Sanada scoffs. Matsunaga storms over to the doctor]
Matsunaga:
Fine. Let's have a look, then. See if it's TB or not.
Dr. Sanada:
But with what?
Matsunaga:
What?
Dr. Sanada:
It's pointless to use a stethoscope. That's all mumbo jumbo. Doctors only do that to look professional. But I'm happy to set your mind at ease.
[He throws back Matsunaga's shirt, and thumps on his chest. He puts on a stethoscope]
Dr. Sanada:
But if anything shows up in this exam, you've had it.
[He turns Matsunaga around and listens from his back. Sanada's eyes look serious and he looks at Matsunaga's back, then drops his eyes and takes off the stethoscope]
Matsunaga:
[impatiently]
How am I?
Dr. Sanada:
Get some X-Rays.
Matsunaga:
I asked you how I am.
Dr. Sanada:
I need to see an X-ray to be sure, but you've got a hole this size.
[Matsunaga is stunned]
Dr. Sanada:
Ignore it, and you can't last this long.
[Matsunaga leaps to his feet and grabs the doctor]
Matsunaga:
I'll kick your ass if you're lying!
[He throws Dr. Sanada onto the table and tries strangling him]
Dr. Sanada:
I'm not lying. Cut it out.
Matsunaga:
You're lying!
Dr. Sanada:
You jerk, I'm not lying!
[Dr. Sanada's nurse appears in the doorway. Matsunaga gets off the doctor and buttons up his shirt. He walks off]
Dr. Sanada:
Idiot!
[He throws a pillow at the gangster]
