Marie: You might have to go to see a doctor.
Paul: No, I hate doctors.
Cheryl: I wonder what could be wrong.
Bob: Maybe he’s allergic to work.
Paul: I’m not kidding here. I’m in pain.
Bob: I used to want to be a doctor you know. Say ah. Now I remember why I didn’t become a doctor.

Bob: A little acupuncture might help you feel better.
Paul: Stay away from me.

Cheryl: How long have you been feeling this way?
Paul: Oh I got the cold last night and the pain in my back started this morning.
Bob: Want to try a little spiritual healing?
Paul: You’re making me laugh.
