W:Could you give me something for the pain? I didn't get to sleep until three o' clock this morning.
M:Aspirin is the strongest medication I can give you without a prescription.
W:That isn't strong enough, and I don't have an appointment with my dentist until next week.
M:Who is your dentist?
W:Dr. Williams.
M:Doesn't he have his office on the corner?
W:Yes, he does.
M:Are you a regular patient?
W:Yes.
M:Oh. Then I can call him if you like. Dr. Williams will give you a pain prescription over the phone.
W:I'd appreciate that very much. Do you think that he'll still be in the office?
M:Sure. It's only four-thirty. He should be there until five.
W:Good.
M:Too bad you can't get your appointment sooner.
W:I know. Dr. Williams is always booked up though. I was lucky to get in as soon as I did.
M:In the meantime, be careful not to eat or drink anything too hot or too cold.
W:I really don't feel like eating or drinking anything at all.
M:Well, I'll give Dr. Williams a call and we'll see what we can do for you.
