A scene from Fletch 1985
Dr. Joseph Dolan

So where do you know Alan from?

Fletch

We play tennis together at the club.

Dr. Joseph Dolan

Really? The California Racquet Club?

Fletch

Yes.

Dr. Joseph Dolan

That's my club too. I don't remember seeing you there.

Fletch

Well, I haven't played in a while because of these kidney pains.

Dr. Joseph Dolan

Right. Now, how long have you been having these pains, Mr. Barber?

Fletch

That's Babar.

Dr. Joseph Dolan

Two bs?

Fletch

One. B-A-B-A-R.

Dr. Joseph Dolan

That's two.

Fletch

Yeah, but not right next to each other. I thought that's what you meant.

Dr. Joseph Dolan

Isn't there a children's book about an elephant named Babar?

Fletch

I don't know. I don't have any.

Dr. Joseph Dolan

No children?

Fletch

No, elephant books.
...

Dr. Joseph Dolan

You know, it's an odd name, Babar...I don't recall seeing it on the club register.

Fletch

Well, I don't formally belong. I'm a guest of my aunt.

Dr. Joseph Dolan

Your Aunt?

Fletch

Yes. Mrs. Smith.

Dr. Joseph Dolan

June or Margaret?

Fletch

Uh-huh, right.
...

Dr. Joseph Dolan

You know, it's a shame about Ed.

Fletch

Oh, it was. Yeah, it was really a shame. To go so suddenly like that.

Dr. Joseph Dolan

Ahh, he was dying for years.

Fletch

Sure, but... the end was really... very sudden.

Dr. Joseph Dolan

He was in intensive care for eight weeks!

Fletch

Yeah, but I mean the very end, when he actually died. That was extremely sudden.
...

Dr. Joseph Dolan

Drop your shorts and bend over.

Fletch

No...we don't have to, I mean, maybe I just haven't been doing enough calisthenics...you know, my kidneys feel a lot better now, maybe if I just bent over like this every morning......
[Dolan inserts his finger into Fletch's anus with an audible "pop" sound]

Fletch

[singing]

Moon River......[talking] Whew...ever serve time, Doc?

Dr. Joseph Dolan

Breathe easy.

Fletch

Yeah...breathe easy... Ahh!! Using the whole fist, Doc?!
...

Dr. Joseph Dolan

[After the proctological exam]

Well, I can't seem to find anything wrong with you, Mr. Babar.

Fletch

Well, I'm sure it's not for a lack of looking.
