A Favourite Scene

    The scene in ‘Hammer Into Anvil’ with Number 2 and the Head of the Psychiatric Department Number 249. Number 2 has discovered that Number 6 had telephoned the doctor, and went to great pains in order to prove it via voice recognition. So having proved that it was Number 6 who telephoned Number 249 all Number 2 needs to know now is why? At one point Number 2 asked the psychiatrist if Number 6 is mad, to which he replied not according to our records, to which Number 2 said then he had a reason for telephoning the psychiatrist,   
    “What was it?”
    “Why don’t you ask him” the psychiatrist suggested.
    “Would you like to sit in that chair?” Number 2 barked out loudly.
    “I was only suggesting.....”
    “Don’t tell me what to do!” Number 2 again barked out.
   At one point Number 2 asked the psychiatrist if he would say if Number 6 is mad, to which he replied “Not according to our records.”
    So there is a psychiatric report on Number 6. He may not be mad, but certainly there is always a reason for what he does, and it’s plain to see what the reason was this time. I wonder what the psychiatric report would read like after the meeting between Number 2 and the Head of Psychiatrics? I’m sure there would be amendments made to it! Number 6 may not be mad, but Number 2 is damned close to being so!


Be seeing you
