(Paul is not feeling well,
and Cheryl, Marie, and Bob try to give him suggestions.)
Cheryl:
Let’s get Ms. Novak’s tickets ready. She may be stopping by this afternoon.
Marie: Paul, are you OK?
Paul:
No. I feel awful.
Cheryl:
What’s wrong?
Paul:
I’ve got this horrible cold. I’m sneezing, and my back is killing me. I’ve got
this pain in my hip. My neck has been bothering me all day. And I have a stomachache.
Marie:
You may have to go 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 “Ahhh.”
Paul:
Ahhh-choo!
Bob:
Now I remember why I didn’t become a doctor.
Cheryl:
Paul, you really must get some medical help.
Bob:
A little acupuncture might help you feel better.
Paul:
Stay away from me.
Cheryl:
Cr. Anderson is meeting Mr. Evans downstairs in the café. Should we ask her to
come up? She may be able to help.
Marie:
Great idea. I’ll go get her.
Bob:
You might prefer an herbal remedy.
Paul:
Stop it.
Sheryl:
How long have you been feeling this way?
Paul:
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.
Bob:
Laughter is the best medicine, you know.
Paul:
But it hurts!
