Curt arrives on Walton's Mountain during the episode "The
Wedding". He drives up while the Walton family and their
friends are celebrating the engagement of Mary Ellen to David
Spencer. The people of Waltons Mountain soon find out that Curt
didn't lie when he tells Mary Ellen that he never did get a very
good mark for his bedside manner. He manages to insult the following
people:
Mary Ellen:
Curt walks into the Godsey store when Mary Ellen is there with
her Grandmother, trying to find matching thread for Esther's old
wedding dress which Mary Ellen plans to be married in. Curt tells
her that: "It looks kind of dainty for a robust girl like
you. I hope you're planning to let it out a little." Not
exactly what any girl wants to hear!
Yancy Tucker:
Curt goes to visit Yancy when Yancy fears that their is something
wrong with his "ticker". Curt tells him that there is
nothing at all wrong with him apart from indigestion which was
caused by VERY STRONG chili which Yancy has made. He adds that
it is a wonder that he hasn't experienced more health problems
though, given the state of hygiene at Yancy's hut, where the animals
are free to roam in and out as they please. Curt suggests that
Yancy clean up his hut and use the chili as disinfectant.
Flossie Brimmer:
He visits Flossie and she tells him that Dr. Vance used to
just write her a prescription for something for the pain. She
has fallen arches. He hands her a piece of paper on which he has
written a diet for her to follow, and tells her to "lose
20 pounds and get shoes with arches." Flossie says to him
as he is packing up to leave: "Dr Willard, you are forward"
to which he smacks her on the bottom and replies "Mrs Brimmer,
you are fat!"
The Baldwin Sisters:
Miss Mamie has brought Miss Emily to see the doctor because
Miss Emily has a case of pneumonia. He goes to listen to Miss
Emily's chest and asks her to unbutton her blouse. The look of
horror on the faces of the sisters is priceless. They are very
shocked and tell Curt that Dr Vance was their doctor for 20 years
and he NEVER asked them to unbutton their garments!
