'No, Mr. Simmons, your MR images aren't in yet. We have older equipment, which takes a little longer to process.'

"Hang on. Mommy's just checking to see if she's still relevant to the outside world."

You're next, Mr. Kimble - right after his apple danish.

'Sorry the doctor is running behind. You can keep today's appointment or I can fit you in tomorrow...whichever comes first.'
