The Relic

The Relic1997



[Dr. Green takes Lt. D'Agosta to Dr. Frock for questions and answers]

Margo Green:
[Dr. Green knocks on Dr. Frock's door] It's Margo.

Dr. Albert Frock:
Oh, who have you brought me?

Lt. Vincent D'Agosta:
Uh, a policeman. Lieutenant D'Agosta.

Dr. Albert Frock:
Well, how goes the gradual extinction of the human race, Lieutenant?

Lt. Vincent D'Agosta:
Uh, I'm doing what I can to keep it orderly.

[Lt. D'Agosta and Dr. Frock shake hands]

Margo Green:
You and the Lieutenant are kindred spirits. He's very superstitious.

Lt. Vincent D'Agosta:
Well, I don't know about very.

Dr. Albert Frock:
Well, you must excuse Margo, Lieutenant. She believes that science must destroy myth, and as a consequence, she has very little patience with superstitious people like us. Margo, did I ever tell you about my experiences with the Kai tribe in Bechuanaland?

Margo Green:
Yes, more than once.

Dr. Albert Frock:
I haven't told him.

[Dr. Frock smiles at Lt. D'Agosta]

Dr. Albert Frock:
The Kai tribe, Lieutenant, believed that headaches were caused by sorcery, and the kinfolk of the headache victim would identify the sorcerer, and then go off and murder him. Of course, the kinfolk of the sorcerer would feel they had to avenge his death, so they'd go and in turn kill the headache victim, and I'm sure you can imagine how it eventually all turned out.

Lt. Vincent D'Agosta:
What's that?

Dr. Albert Frock:
Well, it's a medical miracle. Everybody stopped having headaches.

[Lieutenant D'Agosta laughs]

Dr. Albert Frock:
Lieutenant, what would a superstitious police officer possibly want with an old fossil like me?
