Mulcahy informs Cab that he has compiled all the columns written over the past four months and handed them over to Dr. Courtney, a psychiatrist. This suggests that Mulcahy is concerned about the content or the author's mental state, possibly seeking professional insight or intervention.

Cab responds with surprise and skepticism, calling Dr. Courtney a "wacko" and mentioning rumors about the psychiatrist’s unusual obsession with animals like ducks and geese. The exchange hints at underlying tension and the possibility of problematic behavior or eccentricities associated with Dr. Courtney, raising doubts about his reliability or stability.
