A little more flatly, a little less generously, with less patience than before: "Don't call me Norm, okay? I worked hard for this medical license, Detective."
The television set continues to return the loud crackle of static; Norman mutters some expression of annoyance under his breath as he continues to tweak the position of the antennae. It seems to be more difficult here—combined with the faint smell of concrete and mildew, and the lack of natural light (though Arthur may not perceive that part, depending on his ability to perceive light and absence thereof), it would seem they are underground.
"Nobody's making me do this except the state medical board. I took an oath to take care of the people in this town. Part of that's being physician to Sweetwater itself. We have to keep the town healthy. Keep it from destroying itself. So we just have to recalibrate sometimes. Why don't you relax, Arthur? You're in capable hands."
decided to just let these run to completion bc it turns out 5 comments isn't very much!!
