rattle and hum.

PATIENT:
[whining]
...And can you fix the head of the bed? It's rattling... see, when I move like this [wiggles around in bed]... See! The headboard sort of rattles! And it's been driving me crazy!

JAMIE:
[envisioning disengaging said headboard and connecting it swiftly with the back of patient's head]
Sir? All the headboards rattle--they're old, and this is a hospital. I'm not sure what you'd like me to do about it.

PATIENT:
[still whining]
But this is important!
