MR. CROFT: | Good morning, nurse. I want to see the dentist, please. |
NURSE: | Do you have an appointment? |
MR. CROFT: | No, I don't. |
NURSE: | Is it urgent? |
MR. CROFT: | Yes, it is. It's very urgent. I feel awful. I have a terrible toothache. |
NURSE: | Can you come at 10 a.m. on Monday, April 24th? |
MR. CROFT: | I must see the dentist now, nurse. |
NURSE: | The dentist is very busy at the moment. Can you come at 2 p.m.? |
MR. CROFT: | That's very late. Can the dentist see me now? |
NURSE: | I'm afraid that he can't, Mr. Croft. Can't you wait till this afternoon? |
MR. CROFT: | I can wait, but my toothache can't! |
