DOCTOR
I'd like you to do me a sample, just pop into the toilet next door for a minute. (Hands the patient a sample bottle, who then walks out of the consulting room)
A FEW MINUTES PASS AND NO SIGN OF THE PATIENT RETURNING.
THE DOCTOR GOES AND KNOCKS ON THE TOILET DOOR
Mr Allen, is everything ok in there?
MR ALLEN
Almost done.
THE DOCTOR GOES BACK INTO THE CONSULTATION ROOM TO WAIT.
ANOTHER FEW MINUTES PASS. NO SIGN OF THE PATIENT.
THE DOCTOR RETURNS AND KNOCKS ONCE AGAIN ON THE TOILET DOOR.
Mr Allen?
MR ALLEN
Almost done.
DOCTOR (flustered)
If you can't manage it that's alright, you can take it home with you and bring it back later Mr Allen.
MR ALLEN
Almost done.
THE DOCTOR GOES BACK TO THE CONSULTATION ROOM, HE LOOKS AT HIS WATCH, TAPPING IMPATIENTLY ON HIS DESK.
A FEW MORE MINUTES PASS. HE CHECKS HIS WATCH ONCE AGAIN THEN JUMPS ANNOYED FROM HIS SEAT AND HEADS FOR THE DOOR...MR ALLEN MEETS HIM IN THE DOORWAY.
HE THRUSTS THE COFFEE BREAK PUZZLE PAGE FROM THE DAILY MAIL INTO THE DOCTORS FACE
Done it! I didn't want to take it home and bring it back again.
I might have forgot and reception don't like you taking the newspapers anyway.
DOCTOR (fuming)
And the sample?
MR ALLEN LOOKS AT THE EMPTY SAMPLE BOTTLE CLUTCHED IN HIS OTHER HAND.
Shit (he heads for the door)
I won't be a minute doc….
