• Adam : Oh my God, I'm going to be sick!

  [He heaves. His cheeks puff. Then he stops. He frowns. Puzzled. Strangely calm, he reaches into his mouth, and plucks out a sick-coloured lozenge] 

  Nurse : Special offer, we installed a vomit-o-matic at the same time. Now that turbines have been installed in the lining of your throat, in the event of sickness, they freeze the waste.

• Adam : Sorry. Um, Floor Sixteen? That's um, what do you cover?

  Nurse : Medical. Non Emergency.

  Adam : Right. Yeah. Wrong floor. I'm having technical difficulties. My screen keeps freezing. Blocking me out.

  Nurse : No, that's medical. There must be something wrong with your chip.

  Adam : Yes. Yeah, of course, yeah. I haven't got one.

  Nurse : No wonder you can't get a screen to work. What are you, a student?

  Adam : Yes. Yeah, I'm uh on a research project from the University of Mars.

  Nurse : The Martian Boondocks... typical.

  Adam : Yep.

  Nurse : Well, you still need chipping.

  Adam : So, does that mean like brain surgery?

  Nurse : That's the old fashioned term, but it's the same thing, yes.
