• [Doctor Scott has just told Joe that his daughter is pregnant] 

  Joe : She must have been drugged or something. She couldn't have done it by herself.

  Doctor Scott : No, quite.

  Joe : I'll kill him! So help me, I'll kill him! They way I've looked after her. I promised her mother I'd send her to grammar school. And now the first yob that comes along, this happens.

  Doctor Scott : [trying to be reassuring]  Oh come now. It may not have been the *first* one.

• [Christine has collapsed and Doctor Scott has been examining her] 

  Joe : How is she?

  Doctor Scott : She's resting. Can we have a little chat?

  Joe : Well, is it anything serious?

  Doctor Scott : Depends on your point of view, really. Medically she's A1 - she can get up whenever she wants to.

  Joe : Well what's wrong with her, then?

  Doctor Scott : There's nothing wrong with her, really. She's a very healthy girl... Very attractive, too. Damned attractive.

  Joe : [sternly]  Look, you're not here to judge a beauty contest. What's wrong with her?

  Doctor Scott : Your daughter didn't tell me much. Has she got any boyfriends?

  Joe : No.

  Doctor Scott : Well I think she ought to get one, then. She's three months pregnant.
