I'm here to introduce myself. I'm Carl, the landlord.

I'm honored. I'm Dr. Alloisius Shpak, a physician.

You must've heard about me. The entire city did!

Really? Did you just get here?

What are you famous for?

I'm not one to pat myself on the back. I was just doing my duty!

Of course I heard.

Sorry, this is a demanding job.

ASK ABOUT PRESCRIPTIONS
Depends on earlier choices
You

My wife asked me to ask you if you could write a prescription so she doesn't have to go to the hospital.

Reply

Sorry, but I can't prescribe medication. I... You see...

I'm a famous cardiosurgeon. I perform surgeries, but I have no license for prescribing medicine. This is, of course, a huge mistake…

It'll be fixed soon. I can't help, although I'd be glad to assist you in any other way.

Do you want to talk?

I have a request. A very private one...

Due to the demands of my profession, I have no time for personal matters.

Saving people 24/7 is my civic duty!

I know it's hard to believe that looking at me, but...

I'm very shy around women.

I'm confused and blushing, and every inch of my extremely gifted self is sweating profusely!

You

And what can I do? Get you some deodorant?

Reply

Your wife is amazing, Carl. You clearly know a lot about dealing with women.

I'm lonely. Find me a woman, Carl.

She'd be a good woman to have in the bedroom and the kitchen!

I'm on the verge of perishing. Make her go away. She disappointed me!

I don't want to scare you, but Martha isn't well. She has bibasilar rales in the lower half of both lungs...

Don't expect a miracle on the first day. The medicine needs to accumulate in your daughter's system, and even then, it's unlikely it will fully heal her.

You can decrease the risk of a lethal outcome.

Does that mean she'll need something else? Another treatment?

Reply

Probably. But now you must provide a warm place and good nutrition for your daughter.
