harvey, stop talking please, and open wide. bad timing, i guess. now please say "ah," mr. pekar. shhh. uh-huh. it's not good. harvey, calm down. it's not cancer. you have a nodule on your vocal chords. probably from screaming and yelling too much. and if you don't stop talking and give it a rest, you're gonna lose your voice completely. a few months. see? more of that and you'll do permanent damage. now go home, keep your mouth shut, and hopefully we won't have to operate.
