SKEETERSAURUS IS CALLING!

ANSWER | DECLINE

"Hey you."

"Hi. Are you busy
by any chance?"

"Not at all. Just
having some lunch.
Have you heard of it?
It's a meal that you
eat between breakfast
and dinner."

"I'm planning to
eat lunch, Keanu.
Don't worry."

"Attagirl! And yes──
I can practically see
you rolling your eyes
at me through the
phone, Skeeter."

"And I can
practically see
your smug grin."

"Well, you're
not wrong."

"Anyway. . .Keanu,
you're a person with
high morals, right?
As in you always
want to do the
right thing?"

"Uh. . .I
try to?"

"Okay. So, let's say
hypothetically you have
this friend who
works in a hospital."

"Uh-huh."

"And, she gets herself in
a situation where she has
a patient who's about to
give birth and her husband
arrives yet your hypothetical
friend recognizes the husband
from a previous patient
who gave birth a few days prior."

"Oh, that's
complex."

"What
should
she do?"

"Just to make
it clear. . .this
is all hypothetical?"

"Yep."

"Well, can't
your hypothetical
friend just tell
the two women?"

"She can't. My friend
took an oath. Specifically:
I will respect the privacy
of my patients, for their
problems are not disclosed
to me that the world
may know."

"Oh. . ."

"I know. It sucks."

"If she took an
oath──and an
oath is sacred──
then I guess she 
should sit this 
one out."

"Hm. . .okay. I'll
go tell her."

"I wish her
the best. Hey,
is tonight still
pushing through?"

"Yeah. . .I'll text
you my address."

"Okay. See you,
Skeeter. You
drive safe, okay?"
