<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picard_theorem">Picard's Big Theorem</a> says that if a function $f(z)$ has an isolated essential singularity at a point $w$, then in every neighborhood of $w$, $f(z)$ hits every complex number infinitely many times, with perhaps at most one exception.

Is there a version of Picard's theorem that goes something like this?

Let $V$ be an open disc (finite radius) such that $f(z)$ is holomorphic on $V - \lbrace w \rbrace$, and has an essential singularity at $w$. Let $0 \leq \theta < \phi < 2\pi$, and define $Cone(w,V,\theta,\phi)$ to be $V \cap \lbrace w + re^{i\varphi} \mid  r > 0, \theta < \varphi < \phi \rbrace$. Think of this as a "pizza slice" of the disc $V$.

Is it true that there exists an $\alpha$ such that $f(z) = \alpha$ for infinitely many $z\in Cone(w,V,\theta,\phi)$?
