Drake, the requisite horny older man, lives nearby, while Claire the pragmatic nurse busies herself about the entire hospital in a straight-talking manner that forms a perfect contrast to Duncan’s constant upbeat attitude. Everything seems to be going fine (or as well as it can be) until suddenly, at the climax of the sponge bath song, Plumb drops dead on the floor. Duncan, who finds him, is more puzzled than remorseful...
