Plot[]
Jason has a dentist appointment with Dr. Payne, but his appointment is interrupted by a phone call from the irate mother of a child named Kendall who refuses to pay for her child's tooth extraction because the wrong tooth was pulled, and it is also suggested that a lawsuit may ensue. It is suggested that Dr. Payne is really Jane Smith when Jason overhears Dr. Payne tell her patient to "rub a monkey's tummy with her head." This suggestion is confirmed when he looks at Dr. Payne's dental certificates.
