It's so crowded in here

Darnell: * pets that big snout affectionately* Thank you, Tony. *digs the ointment out of his bag* I'm going to dig my finger into the holes a little bit. It'll hurt, but I'm not doing it to be mean or because you're in trouble. I just want to make sure the ointment gets down into the wound and not just sit on the surface, all right? *once acknowledged, he'll get to work, going quickly, gentle but thorough*
