I can erase that man's pain.

He didn't actually use those words.

He actually had an appointment with Warren.

But according to Julie, he did have a bag.

A gas called ether.

...stands aside and says with great sarcasm...

Well, sir, your patient is ready.

Wait a second.

Had he ever tested this?

He claimed to have tried it out on some dental patients and... On his dog, on himself, and on his goldfish.

Nice.

So Morton gets to work.

Morton sets up his gear, fills up the inhaler.

Puts it up to the guy's face.

And actually, because the valve system had just been constructed and he hadn't tested it, he actually literally had to manually operate the valves with every inhale and exhale of the patient.

And just at that moment, Morton turns to Warren and says, You're a patient, sir.

Dr. Warren brings the scalpel down to the patient's neck and cuts.

And really, for the first time in that room, you could hear the scalpel.

You could hear the breathing coming.

No squirming, no moving, no bulging eyes, no clenched fists.
