PHARMACY - INT - DAY
A WOMAN enters the shop, shaking off the rain from her umbrella and raincoat.
WOMAN
(coughing)
Can you help me with my cough?
PHARMACIST
Dry?
WOMAN
(coughing, looks at brolly)
Does it look like it?
PHARMACIST
Ticklish?
WOMAN
(coughing)
I am as a matter of fact - but about this cough...
WOMAN undoes her raincoat to reveal a larger figure.
PHARMACIST
Chesty?
WOMAN
(coughing)
I beg your pardon?
PHARMACIST
Expectorant?
WOMAN
(coughing)
No - but I'm trying to lose weight. Now, can you give me something for my cough?
PHARMACIST pauses.
PHARMACIST
A fiver?
WOMAN
(coughing)
Done!
PHARMACIST takes five pounds from the till and hands it to WOMAN.
WOMAN
Thanks!
WOMAN turns to leave.
PHARMACIST
(coughing)
Only doing my job!
(cough)
END.
