Doctor: No, actually, we'd like to keep him here overnight for observation, just to be safe.
George: Oh, sure. Sure, anything. Can you believe it? There's nothing wrong with me.
Doctor: Well, I wouldn't go that far.
George: What? Oh my God. What? Is it meningitis? Scoliosis? Lupis?! Is it Lupis?!
Doctor: Have you ever had your tonsils taken out?
George: My tonsils? Yeah, when I was a kid.
Doctor: Well, they've grown back. Your adenoids are swollen too.

Quote from George

Doctor: Anyway, I strongly recommend they come out.
George: What? You mean with a knife?
Doctor: Yes. With a knife. You know, snip, snip. Anyway, you'd be completely under, you wouldn't feel a thing. And when you wake up, you can have some ice cream.
George: Yeah, that's what they told me the last time.
