Conflict Over Public Appearance at Hospital Event
Mayor William Dudley:
I hope you'll change your mind and join us up on the speakers platform, Dr. Whitman.
Dr. Frank Whitman:
No, no, I don't think so. Really.
Mayor William Dudley:
It would look better, you know, the head of a new hospital.
Dr. Frank Whitman:
Well it may look better but I don't think it would sound better. I don't think you'd like what you'd be hearing.
Mayor William Dudley:
Well what's eating you now? You have a new job and the city has a beautiful new hospital.
Dr. Frank Whitman:
That's right, some new hospital. You know, it looks real good on the outside. But thanks to your political favors here and there, see I'm stuck with a patch-up job!
Mayor William Dudley:
Well nothing is perfect. Everything is compromised. Now, if you're the mayor of a big city and you want to get things done, you have to learn to give and take.
Dr. Frank Whitman:
Try talking to a surgeon about compromise during an open-heart operation, huh? (walks away)
Mayor William Dudley:
Dr. Whitman? (Whitman stops and turns around) When I call on you, I expect you to come up and speak.
Dr. Frank Whitman:
Is that a challenge?
Mayor William Dudley:
If you'd like to put it that way.
Dr. Frank Whitman:
Well you just do that Mr. Mayor. I look forward to it.
