Deal or No Deal Doctors

-There's no cereal.

-Have an apple.

I need dinner money.

You'll have to come home again.

HE TAPS HIS FINGERS

JADEN!

Sorry.

SHE KISSES HIM

Are you OK?

Should have used a spreadsheet.

Actually, I did think about it.

I'm joking, Julia! There 's no way you'll get that lot done in a day.

-Watch me.

-I bet you've forgotten something.

No, I haven't. It's all on there.

What about the stationery order?

Ah. That's done. You need to email them by ten.

Budget stats?

I shall finish by 11, then I'll do that report for Heston.

Paperwork for Zara's maternity leave?

There.

Ah, but you see, you've got the medical rep at 12.

Ah well. I shall just tell him what I want

and what I'm prepared to pay for it. Done and dusted, 20 minutes tops.

Shopping?!

-You've got time for shopping!

-I've planned what I've got to get and where I've got to go get it.

Does that say meringue?

Yeah, Valerie's coming to dinner tomorrow night and it's her favourite so I need eggs.

Do you know, I am loving the Wonder Woman act, I do,

but you can buy meringues.

Yeah, I know, but shop ones are never as nice, are they?

I'm redundant. Looks like you've got everything covered.

SHE GASPS

Marlin's present!

-Ha ha ha!

-No, no, no.

I have phoned around every toy shop to track this down

and Japers are holding the last one for me and it has to be red.

Marlin's birthday present.

It's a nightmare parking at that end of town. Good luck.

Oi!

-Don't ignore me.

-He's late.

Yeah and so are you.

I'm sorry. I can't pay this week.

-If you let me carry it over...

-Again?

..I'll definitely have it all by the end of the month. Please.

-No more credit.

-But...

I'm calling in your debt in full.

You said I could pay in instalments.

-And you haven't!

-You can't do that!

-I can do what I want.

-So?

-I've got nothing on me now.

But I can get it, I swear.

You'd better.

Couple of hours, I'll be round to collect.

Boo!

HE LAUGHS

Let's go.

May I ask, are you ensuring that you eat regular hot meals?

Mrs Tembe, I appreciate your concern...

You should look after your health after a period of great stress.

-Absolutely and I am.

-Not just your physical wellbeing,

but your spiritual health is also crucial.

How are you really feeling?

Test results.

Do you mean you have come to collect some?

That's what I said.

What is your name?

Alfie Burnett.

I saw Dr Cassidy. She said to come back today.

Just give me one minute.

I can't hang about here all day.

-They do not seem to have come through yet.

-I'll make a call.

-Chase them up.

-No need to trouble yourself.

No trouble at all. If you'd like to take a seat.

-Where's Dr Cassidy?

-She's not at this surgery today.

Well, I'm not having him.

-I beg your pardon?!

-That waste of space. I've seen him before.

-I can assure you that Dr Carter is the finest.

-Whatever.

You should consider yourself lucky to be treated by that...

I've told you, I don't want him.

Sorry for the delay, Mr Burnett,

they're calling me back.

Erm, if you'd just like to take a seat...

Good.

Morning.

-Hiya.

-How are you?

Listen, Freya. I know that it's probably going to seem a bit

-of an uphill struggle for you here right now...

-Sorry?

..and I do understand you're probably feeling a bit hard done by.

But you'll get past it, you're doing a great job.

Just have a bit more self-confidence.

I realise losing Dean must seem very recent to you but...

you've been using these sleeping tablets on and off now

-for nearly nine months.

-I don't need them all the time.

So you can cope without them?

I'm just having a bad patch at the moment.

-Any particular reason...

-I'm sorry, I have to be somewhere soon.

-Are you doing nursing shifts?

-When I can get them.

It must be tough, managing alone with Jaden.

I told you, Dean left me a lot of debt. I've got no choice.

More worry to keep you awake?

The ONLY worry that keeps me awake.

Remember we talked about debt counselling? Do you not think that might help?

What would help would be a good night's sleep.

To be honest, Lizzie, I'm very concerned.

You seem to be needing an increasingly regular dose.

Well, it's only temporary.

Long term, these tablets are potentially highly addictive.

-If they've become a problem too...

-If I'd been able to pay off what I owe, I wouldn't be here asking.

-Really?

-You don't know what I'm facing every day.

Letters, phone calls, collection guys knocking on my door at all hours.

It's too much. If that was gone, sleep would be a doddle.

I will get it sorted.

I just need a little help.

You've been screened positive for Hepatitis C.

Do you know what that, erm...?

Some sort of blood thing, isn't it?

It's a virus carried in the bloodstream. Erm...

Yup, that'll give you some initial facts.

I'll be OK though?

Well, there are a lot of very good treatments but...

if you have been diagnosed late, which I suspect you have...

could be quite serious.

When you say late?

I do understand how it feels.

So you'll prescribe?

If sleeping without tablets is becoming this serious an issue,

you need drug counselling.

I don't need counselling!

It might help you see what your real problem is.

My problem right now is you!

Sitting here in your cushy job,

raking it in, judging me, making out I'm some kind of junkie.

I never said that, Lizzie. I'm trying to help you.

Yeah? Well, you've failed.

Lizzie...

Here's my mobile number. Call me...

anytime you need me.

Well, did I have it when I came to see you last?

You said I had flu! You packed me off home!

OK, let's see. Ah, right. Yes. Here we are.

-How come you didn't pick it up then?

-"Symptoms indicate influenza.

"Patient recommended to return should they persist."

You made me feel a complete time-waster! Why didn't you realise?!

It's not always easy to tell on...

Don't fob me off again!

-I am not.

-Dr Cassidy wouldn't have cocked up like this.

She actually listened to me instead of trying to send me packing.

-Mr Burnett, I can assure you...

-If she hadn't run these tests,

you'd never have picked it up, would you?

Do you have any idea how you contracted this?

I've not a clue. How do people normally get it?

Intravenous drug use, shared needles, that sort of thing.

Are you calling me a junkie?!

No, no.

First you throw this bombshell at me, then you accuse me of being a smackhead!

No, of course not. I'm just saying.

Well don't! You've said enough.

BEEPS HORN

Hey!

Don't make me blow your house down.

So...where's my money?

I just need...

No, no more time.

I...I've got some stuff I can sell.

Yeah?!

Like what?

Why don't we just cut to the chase, yeah?

-What do you mean?

-I mean...

if you be nice to me...

everything will work out.

Hiya, love.

So...

where were we?

Oh, yeah.

-Not here.

-What?

I'll come to yours later. I promise.

I get what's mine today.

Don't show...

..he'll be meeting me at the school gates.

Am I clear?

What does he want?

-Nothing.

-I can't find nothing to eat.

Run back and get a school dinner. Tell them I'll settle next week.

And when the bell goes at home time, you wait in the playground.

-Why?

-Just stay by the teacher till I come and fetch you. You hear me?

What are you doing?!

She tried to steal my purse!

Dr Cassidy!

No, no, no. I've just come from there.

They were supposed to be holding their last one for me but...

You do?! That's fantastic! Yes.

Oh, do you have any in red?

No, it has to be in red.

Right. OK. Erm, could you suggest somewhere else that I could try?

Right. Thank you.

What's happened?

I'm sorry.

-You sounded desperate.

-I am!

Get in. I'll give you a lift home.

No. I've been to your store, they're out of stock.

Right. So can I get it online or not?

Lizzie, what's actually going on here?

You call me sounding like it's a matter of life and death.

I'm sorry. I need cash.

Really badly.

When I said you could call me...

I wouldn't ask if I wasn't desperate, I swear. You're my last hope.

Lizzie, you know what the answer is.

Please. I will pay you back every penny.

It's not the solution, nor is stealing.

-I can help you in other ways.

-I don't have time for other ways.

-How do you mean?

-I need to pay him now otherwise...

Otherwise what?

Are you being threatened?

Jaden!

-Jaden! I told you to wait at school!

-I forgot.

-Anything could have happened to you!

-I walk home every day.

-Get inside!

Who's threatening you? I mean it, Lizzie, either you tell me

what's going on right now or I'm calling the police.

Can you stay with Jaden? Lock the door.

-No, Lizzie. Wait!

-I won't be long, promise.

Lizzie!

No.

No, no, no. This isn't happening.

No, no, no, no.

-Yeah, police, please.

-Excuse me.

I'd like to...

Hello? Look, I'm terribly sorry. That was a false alarm.

Thanks for your time.

Who the hell are you?!

Martin Miller.

Where's my car?

Oh, it's perfectly safe. We just had to move it a bit.

You moved it? That car is my property! You have no right...

Actually I do. This is my garage and my forecourt

I can't afford to lose trade because some housewife decides to pop in to the shops

and get her hair done.

-How dare you!

-How dare I?

I parked here because I was in a hurry...

Late for your cut and blow dry?

For some very important meetings, actually. I am Practice Manager of The Mill Health Centre.

Well, your hair looks very nice.

Those shopping bags full of important documents, are they?

Look I'm sorry I parked here - I didn't see the sign.

No harm done. It was unlocked by the way.

I really am in a very big rush and...

Slow down, relax. All this rushing around causes accidents.

Makes you forget things.

I want my car.

No problem, although you should be aware that

one of your tyres has got a tear in it.

-A tear?

-Yeah. You must have hit a kerb or something.

No, it drives fine.

I'd feel a lot happier if you let me change the tyre.

-Why don't you sit in my office? I'll get someone to bring you a nice cup of tea.

-Um...

I insist. Mates rates.

I am not your mate. I want my car back. Now.

OK, but you're looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Yes. Lizzie Clarke.

I don't know, but she's definitely at risk of harm.

So you already know the address?

Yes. She definitely implied her son has been threatened too.

There you are, it's at the back there. Safe and sound.

-It's not too late to change your mind.

-Oh!

Ha-ha-ha!

HE GUFFAWS

I am so sorry. Here.

Let me give you a hand.

Oh! Ooh!

What do you think you are doing? Put me down. Put me down!

Now. Put me down.

Health and safety.

I don't do business on my doorstep.

Don't forget to bring your dry-cleaning bill on Thursday.

-It's the least I can do.

-Thursday?

Yeah, I've booked us a table at the Champignon for about eight.

You do know that you are rude, arrogant, and obnoxious, don't you?

That's a yes, then?

That's a yes, you can ring back and cancel.

Oh, careful with the clutch - it's a bit tight.

Er...I've just spoken to a friend and she's going to lend me the cash.

On my life. She's coming round after work.

OK?

Stay away from me.

Too late.

You're going nowhere.

Get off me!

Shut up. Pay day!

-Stop it. Get off me!

-Shut up!

SCREAMING

Shut up!

Shut up!

Shut up! Shut up!

BANGING ON DOOR

Open up, police! Police, open up!

BANGING CONTINUES Police! Police!

Police!

-Come on.

-Oh, get off, get off!

-Get off!

-Hand it over.

Don't ask. I have just had to deal with the most unbelievably

insufferable man, you couldn't possibly make it up.

I promise you, I could quite happily have throttled him without batting an eyelid.

-I know the type. Are you OK?

-Yeah.

Get Marlin's present?

You know what, I went to Japers and they had sold the last one

which they had promised me they would keep for me

so I had to go around all the other stores in town to see if

I could find another, and thank goodness I did, but it was not easy.

What?

I thought it had to be red?

I understand, Mrs Turner. I could ask one of the doctors.

I need to see him!

Do you mean...?

-Dr Carter! Now!

-If you will give me one second.

He knows it's urgent.

If you would like to take a seat. Please!

I do apologise, Mrs Turner.

Are you all right?

I'm sorry. I didn't feel I had any choice but to call them.

No, thank you, and for staying with Jaden.

Apparently the police have been watching the flat for a while anyway.

You know, Lizzie, whatever mess you've got into, there's a way out.

You're not on your own.

OK. Take care, both of you. Bye, Jaden.

Could I come in to see you? Just to talk.

Of course. Like I said - any time.

See you then.

I will speak to one of the doctors and get back to you.

Goodbye.

Mr Burnett! You cannot go through there!

There's no-one in here!

I am so sorry, Dr Carter. I tried to stop him.

I'll take it from here, Mrs Tembe. Thank you.

-Thanks for this(!)

-Did you read it all?

Enough to know that if you'd done your job properly to start with, my chances would be way better now.

-I did tell you to come back if the symptoms persisted.

-Always someone else's fault.

Your disease is no-one's fault.

Um...can we start again, Mr Burnett?

-I think we got off on the wrong foot earlier.

-Listen,

I don't take drugs, all right? I never have and I never will.

Did you have that done recently?

What?

Was it done professionally?

No

A friend, or...?

I don't want you making more flipping judgements, right?

Of course not. There is a valid reason for asking.

I had it done when I was inside.

I did a short spell for aggravated burglary.

-I'm not proud of it.

-Right.

But it was a mess at first.

There's a very good chance that that is the source of infection.

You're joking? A poxy tattoo I had done while I was banged up?

If the implement wasn't properly sterilised

I don't believe this! I've done my time! I've been punished

I know, it is incredibly bad luck.

Like you care anyway!

Look at you - you're rolling in it. Your posh house, big fat pension.

What have I got? Where's my future?

Don't get this out of proportion.

According to this, I could die.

Is that out of proportion?

Listen to me.

Look, I'm not saying your disease isn't serious.

And in the worst case scenario, it can cause cirrhosis and other complications.

-Like cancer?

-Like cancer, possibly. But there is a scenario

-where it doesn't cause further illness.

-Really?

And they're working on new drug therapies all the time.

They'd better get a move on.

I'll get on with that referral to the hospital

and you should have an appointment with a specialist in no time.

If they don't come back to you, get on to myself or Dr Cassidy and we will chase them up.

-OK.

-And if you have any questions, don't hesitate

to make a second appointment and come in. Is there anything else?

OK. So don't worry. You're not on your own with this. OK?

-Thank you.

-Take care.

Right, OK?

Mrs Tembe, if you could make sure Elaine gets this ASAP.

-I'd love that cup of tea when you have a moment?

-Right.

-KNOCK ON DOOR

-Come in.

That was quick. Did you order a red one online?

No.

"I'll pick you up after work at six.

"Looking forward to a cracking time. Martin."

Kiss, kiss!

Are you looking at my breasts?

I beg your pardon.

It's my word against yours.

Je suis faim de femme.

Would you mind if we do this in English?

What?

First eggs, now flowers.

I can't live without him.

I love him. I love him. I love him!
