Monster Volume 3 : Kinderheim 511 Chapter the Twenty-Second Petra and Schumann - Page 131 - Chapter 22 : Petra and Schumann - Page 132 - Schumann: Petra!! Open up, Petra!! I AM taking you this time, Petra!! Petra: Be quiet!! I told you, I'm not going!! Don't think I'll give in, you quack!! Schumann: QUACK?! Who do you think I'm coming all this way for?! Petra: Nobody called you!! I'm not lettin' a demon like you cut me up with a scalpel!! Schumann: Don't be ridiculous. Now, let me examine you!! Petra: Hah!! YOU'RE the one who cut open Clara over on Sontag and killed her!! - Page 133 - Schumann: I was too late to save Clara, and I don't want you to turn out like her, so COME OUT!! Petra: I don't want to turn out like her either. That's WHY I'm not coming out!! Schumann: That's enough, you obstinate old cow!! Petra: A cow, am I?! How dare you call me that, you mutilator!! I've never seen a doctor about this shoulder since I was born, and I'm perfectly fine!! Now leave!! Schumann: Rrrgh... Man: Doctor!! Dr. Schumann!! That drunk Finck is at the clinic... Schumann: What about Finck? Man: He got hit on the highway and someone carried him in!! - Page 134 - Schumann: How do his injuries look?! Is he conscious?! Man: Ah dunno. But the guy who carried him in is helping him. Schumann: What? Man: This guy who was jus' passin' through is examining Finck. Schumann: Why? Man: Ah dunno. - Page 135 - Schumann: What happened here? Nurse: When I said you were out on a house call... Schumann: He treated him?! You let a man you know nothing about... Nurse: I... I'm sorry. I DID stop him once, but... He said the patient was choking on vomit and suffocating, and that he would clear out the respiratory duct... Schumann: Hmph! Who is he?! Nurse: I don't know... he left without telling me his name... Oh, but he did write something on the form here... Schumann: Hmm, "Use suction tube to remove vomit, then perform endotracheal intubation..."! Huh? - Page 136 - Schumann: "Furthermore, the patient has no money, and repeatedly told me not to take him to a hospital..." "Please use this money to pay for treatment..." Son of a bitch!! Nurse: Oh... doctor, where are you going? Schumann: To find this so-called good samaritan. Give me some personal features! Nurse: An Oriental man, with a young boy... Er, what about Mr. Finck...? Schumann: Just let him lie on the bed! Nurse: B... but the other man only performed emergency care... - Page 137 - Schumann: How could that be emergency care...? Nurse: Huh? Schumann: That was perfect. Tenma: Hey, Dieter... Honestly, you shouldn't be following me... - Page 138 - Tenma: Like, what about school? I won't be in one place, which means you can't go to school. And how will you make friends? You can't have fun and play soccer without any friends. Dieter: I do have a friend. Tenma: Who? Dieter: Tenma. Tenma: Listen, Dieter. Schumann: Was it you? - Page 139 - Tenma: Huh? Schumann: Are you the one who marched into my clinic and acted like it was your own?! Don't patronize me! I don't run a clinic to make money!! I know Finck is a penniless drunk. I can't imagine taking any money from him! Tenma: Uh... Uh... no, I... Schumann: Well, it's nice to see an elite doctor from some five-star hospital showing mercy on his vacation time. Officer: Heya! - Page 140 - Tenma: Let's go, Dieter! Schumann: Hey, wait 'til I'm finished talking to you! Tenma: I'm very sorry. We've overstayed our welcome... And we're very busy... Officer: Finck was in a hit-and-run. I'm looking for any witnesses. Hello, Dr. Schumann. How does Finck look? Schumann: It won't be fatal. I'm more worried about his drinking problem. - Page 141 - Officer: Who's that? Tenma: Er... I, uh... Schumann: Dr. Chan... a fellow grad from my university. He's just stopped in town on his vacation. Officer: Dr... Chan? Have we met before...? Schumann: He took care of Finck for me today. While I was out on house call... and where do you think I went? Officer: Huh? Schumann: To your mother's house, Heinz. Heinz: My mom... Schumann: You should tell her to come in as well. She may need treatment very soon. - Page 142 - Heinz: Not gonna work... She doesn't listen to nobody. Schumann: What... you won't even try? Heinz: It's okay. She won't die that easily. Schumann: Wha... Heinz: And look how far she's raised me. I don't she has anything to regret. Schumann: WHAT?! Wait, damn you!! This is PETRA'S life we're talking about!! Wait, Heinz!! - Page 143 - Tenma: Why did you lie to him...? Schumann: About you being from my university...? My thanks for saving Finck. If you hadn't treated him so swiftly, he would have died. Tenma: Thank you. Schumann: If you turn that pale from seeing a policeman... Then you must... Oh well, at least I know you're not a super-elite doctor from a first-class hospital. Tenma: You have truly saved me... How can I thank you...? Schumann: Thank me...? Actually, I think there IS something you could help me with... Tenma: Huh? - Page 144 - Man: Atatata... Tenma: Your cast was slightly off, so I fixed it. Just stay off this leg for the next two weeks. Man: I got some nice apple brandy, doctor. Don't you wanna drink? Schumann: Shut up, ya cripple! I'll outdrink you all you want once you're better! - Page 145 - Tenma: You're progressing well... You'll be back in the fields in just five days. Schumann: Isn't that great, Mr. Schone...? Schone: Take some potatoes, doctor, they're good this year!! Schumann: Potatoes are my favorite. Maybe I should come by in a truck and help myself to a mountain of them. Hahaha! Thanks a bunch. My specialty is internal medicine, so anything besides that is nearly impossible for me to do... There's one more town we're going to, on the other side of the mountain. I can't possibly help all of them myself... Tenma: Wonderful. Schumann: Yeah, it's not much, but it's a carefree town, at least. Tenma: No, not that... The people here love you... I was talking about the love you show for all of them... - Page 146 - Schumann: Bah! Love... I lost all higher emotions like that long ago... Tenma: What do you mean? You save the lives of so many people by yourself. Schumann: Of course I do, I'm a doctor. I'm just doing my job. Now, just one more house. She's a tough nut to crack! Tenma: Huh?! Petra: My God, you're persistant!! Schumann: Yes, and I'll keep coming, as many times as it takes!! - Page 147 - Petra: And I'll keep telling you the same thing!! Get lost, quack!! Schumann: You see? This is that policeman's mother. Tenma: You said she collapsed three days ago? Schumann: Yes. She felt ill during her farmwork... I tried to get her into my clinic, but she said she was fine and came back here. Tenma: That is troubling. Schumann: Yes... Tenma: Shall I try to reason with her? Schumann: It might be the same way. Petra: Why are you still loitering outside my house?! Schumann: I can loiter wherever I damn well please. Tenma: Please, if you yell like that, NOBODY would want to come out. Schumann: I WILL take her to my clinic!! I won't lose my reason for living!! Tenma: What? - Page 148 - Schumann: I... I mean, I won't have anyone to argue with. And... I won't be able to eat her goulasch anymore... Dieter: Your face is all red, mister. Schumann: Wha... Why, you little brat!! Tenma: Petra! Please open up, Miss Petra! Petra: What, ANOTHER doctor?! Schumann: I told you!! Only a bomb could make her open that door!! - Page 149 - Tenma: Why do you hate doctors so much? Petra: Why... well!! They poke around with people's bodies, and act as though they're God, of course...!! Tenma: God... Sometimes I think it would be nice to be God. We try our best, ma'am, but everyone makes mistakes... If only we had the ability to perfectly heal people, just like God... When I examine patients, my heart is always trembling in fear. Please, at least let me get a look at your face. - Page 150 - Tenma: Huh? You're making goulasch. Smells nice. Petra: What... do you love goulasch or something? Tenma: Yes, but Dr. Schumann says that the goulasch you make is his favorite. Petra: What? That's the first I've heard. He always eats it without saying anything... He could have just told me if he liked it so much! Tenma: He's shy, you know. Oooh, this DOES look good! - Page 151 - Petra: Ah... if only my shoulders weren't so stiff... I have to prepare for dinner. Tenma: Stiff shoulders...? Petra, can you touch your chin to your chest? Petra: What? Of course I can. Look... ow! Tenma: Pardon me! {I can fit four fingers in...} - Page 152 - Petra: What kind of charm was that? Tenma: Oh, nothing... Schumann: How does she look? Tenma: I think... it's an SAH. Schumann: WHAT?! PETRA!! - Page 153 - [Stuttoilm Police Station] Chief: Hey, Heinz! We got a fax about a murder suspect... go copy this thing! How's your mother?! She fell unconscious three days ago, didn't she?! Heinz: Yes... thanks for your concern. But she won't die, even if you kill her... Tenma: 72 hours since the first spasm... - Page 154 - Tenma: This is a critical period. She needs operation immediately!! I don't know if we can make it in time by calling a helicopter...!! Schumann: Can... can you do it? Tenma: Huh? Schumann: Please, if you can perform the surgery, you must do it. Or else... Or else I'll lose someone I love again because of my own mistakes!! - Chapter 22 Owari -
