The Merv Griffin Show Season 9, Episode 6

Doctor

Oh, we're discharging the squirrel. We think he'll be better off at home.

George

He has no home. He's a squirrel.

Doctor

Hmm-hm. Your home, Mister Costanza. Just make sure he gets his medicine six times a day and keep his tail elevated. (exits)

Jerry

Maybe it'll be fun having a pet.

George

It's not a pet! It's a wild invalid! And it knows that I tried to kill it. As soon as it gets better, it's gonna gnaw my brain out in my sleep!
