Doctoring Unidentified Hunter #1: Shit, Dick! You shot him in the face! Cheney: Fuck! Oh fuck ... We need a spin-doctor, STAT! Unidentified Hunter #2: He needs a medical doctor. Jesus, Dick, you just shot the man in the face. Cheney: No! I refuse! There will be absolutely no face-time with the press until at least Monday. Quail: Excellent! A decoy! I'm freedom-flying, baby! Woooooo! Check me out! Cheney: Get me a spin-doctor, STAT! Unidentified Hunter #1: Stop saying that. Cheney: Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe I am overreacting. Hey Whittington! Walk it off! Unidentified Hunter #2: He's bleeding quite a bit. Cheney: We'll get him a purple heart, or something. Unidentified Hunter #1: I've got the White House on the line. They want to know which doctor you want--the one you played golf with last month or the one you swung that Baghdad deal with. Cheney: Let's go with Baghdad. The bastard owes me. Unidentified Hunter #1 speaks into his cell phone: Give us the Baghdad guy. What? Oh, that's too bad. Dick, the Baghdad guy is a podiatrist. Cheney: Right, and a damned good one. Unidentified Hunter #1: But we need a doctor who deals with trauma. Cheney: Who's talking about trauma? There's no trauma here. L.L., you feeling any trauma? L.L.: Not really, no. Cheney: There's no trauma here. But send the golf guy. Hey L.L., you got the ... ? You know? Should be in your coat there, right? L.L. Oh right. Here. Unidentified Hunter #2: Is that a flask? L.L. Canteen. That's a canteen. Cheney takes a big swig from the "canteen." Unidentified Hunter #2: Who's that supposed to be shaped like? That canteen? Is that Marilyn Monroe? Cheney: That sir, is my wife. Unidentified Hunter #1: That doesn't look like-- Cheney takes another swig. Cheney: That sir is my wife filled with apple juice. L.L.: An apple a day keeps the doctor away! Cheney: Well it appears to be working. Get that doctor here STAT. Unidentified Hunter #1: No offense, Mr. Vice President, but I just called. They said he'd be here in fifteen minutes. He had to be pulled away. He was right in the middle of a procedure. L.L.: A procedure? Was he in surgery? Unidentified Hunter #1: He and his wife have the spa package at Tilden. He was right in the middle of a hypercolonic. Cheney: He doesn't seem to be moving much. Whittington! Whittington! Cheney throws a stone at Whittington's head. Unidentifed Hunter #2: Um Mr. Vice President, I don't think that's a good idea. Cheney takes yet another swig from the "canteen." Cheney: Maybe we should cover him up a little ... with some leaves. Unidentified Hunter #2: Why would we do that? Cheney: It's just ... Well it just occurred to me that he might be cold. Some leaves, a few branches might keep him ... warm. Unidentified Hunter #1: Here. I'll put my jacket over him. Cheney: And maybe some ... dirt? Unidentified Hunter #1: Mr. Vice President?

Couldn't Cheney just rough them up a little? Smack them upside their tiny tufted heads? Who knows. I don't know. Maybe they're wily and mean enemy combatants. In that case, it's lucky Cheney was so vigilant. And in the end, what's one human casualty in the War on Dainty Game Birds? Posted by Melissa Price at 01:03 PM
