Dr. Mark Craig : Well, it's funny, right?
[laughs]
Dr. Ben Samuels : Well, I'm glad you see the humor in the situation.
Dr. Mark Craig : [laughs] The humor? Are you kidding? It's hysterical. I mean, when I think of the pages on the intercom, and the phone messages.
Dr. Ben Samuels : And the ping in the cylinders.
Dr. Mark Craig : And the name-Barnum. I mean, really, the name.
Dr. Ben Samuels : P.T. Barnum. You get it?
