At the dentist
Dr. Spock: Hello, How are you feeling?
Kirk: Okay. It really hurts though.
Dr. Spock: Well, it’s broken almost in half.
Kirk: Can you save the tooth?
Dr. Spock: I’m not sure. I’ll have to look at the x-ray. Oh oh.
Kirk: Is it really that bad?
Dr. Spock: I’m sorry, but I’ll have to remove the tooth.
Kirk: Is there no way to save it?
Dr. Spock: No. You’d be in constant pain.
Kirk: Okay. How much will it cost?
Dr. Spock: About 200 dollars. Do you have insurance?
Kirk: No, I just changed jobs so I’m not covered yet.
Dr. Spock: Sorry. I’ll give you a shot to freeze you. It may hurt.
Kirk: Ow, ow, ow!!! That really hurts!
Dr. Spock: I haven’t given you the shot yet.
Kirk: You’re standing on my foot.
Dr. Spock: Oh, sorry.
Kirk: Me too.
