Lucy walks up and says, "Let's see . . ."<BR><BR> Linus pulls away and says, "Don't touch it! Don't touch it!" Lucy says, "I'd better go get a pair of tweezers . . ."<BR><BR> Linus stands on a chair and yells, "No! No! It'll hurt! You'll kill me! You'll kill me!!"<BR><BR> Lucy says, "Look, you want to get the sliver out don't you? Well hold still!"<BR><BR> Lucy tries to get the splinter out.<BR><BR> Linus says, "Wait a minute . . . Didn't we forget something?"<BR><BR> Linus says, "While you're opperating I thought I was supposed to be biting a bullet!"<BR><BR>
