Chloe: So it’s not a date your going on?
Holly: No, he’s just a journalist for the local paper. Would you turn down a free meal at Antonio’s though?
Chloe: I wouldn’t turn down a free bag of crisps at the moment! What does he wanna talk about?
Holly: Just some newspaper thing, they’re looking for the ‘face of the NHS’
(Patrick walks in)
Patrick: (about the clothes) Oh very nice Chloe.
Chloe: Thanks but it’s not mine - it’s Holly’s.
Patrick: Bit over the top for the NHS don’t you think?
Holly: I don’t know, I think it lends a certain glamour to the place.
Chloe: She’s been taken out to dinner tonight . . . don’t you wanna know where?
Patrick: Where?
Holly: Antonio’s.
Patrick: Someone obviously thinks very highly of you.
Holly: Suppose they must do.
Patrick: Or we could just be talking about someone with more money than sense.
Holly: Why?
Patrick: Well Antonio’s has got this great reputation but I don’t rate it.
Holly: Oh you’ve been have you?
Patrick: Over fussy and over priced in my opinion. You might like it. Who are you going with, anyone I know?
Holly: No (to Chloe) Shall I button it all the way up or leave a couple undone?
Chloe: Leave a couple undone . . . to start with!
Holly: Don’t forget, we’re just good friends.
Chloe: Yeah, if you were 'just good friends' he’d be taking you out for a burger!
Patrick: Have a good time!
Holly: I’m sure I will.
Chloe: You could always nominate Patrick as the face of the NHS.
Holly: Nah, I think they’re looking for someone who can smile!

*-*-*-*-*

Patrick: First date huh? Antonio’s is a first date kind of place; it’s where you take someone when you want to impress them.
Holly: You seeing anyone at the moment?
Patrick: Ah well you know.
Holly: So many women, so little time.
Patrick: And here comes one of them now (Walks over to an old woman)

*-*-*-*-*

Patrick: Well go on you might as well tell me.
Holly: What?
Patrick: Who’s taking you out?
Holly: This is really starting to annoy you now isn’t it?
Patrick: It’s just you always seem to go for unsuitable men.
Holly: Just the once Patrick, I learnt my lesson after you. (He looks hurt) All right look, he’s a journalist and it’s not a ‘date’ - just an interview about the NHS.
(A policeman walks up, wanting to talk to Holly)
Policeman: Dr. Miles?
Holly: Arrest this man: he’s annoying me.

*-*-*-*-*

Patrick: Better get a move on Cinderella, you’ll be late for the ball.
Holly: Which ugly sister are you?

*-*-*-*-*

Holly: Barney have you seen him?
Barney: No, sorry.
Patrick: Journalist feller, ‘bout this tall? You just missed him.
Holly: Don’t wind me up please Patrick.
Patrick: Hol, is that him? (Points to an old man)
Barney: Have a nice meal.
Holly: Ta.
Patrick: Listen, if he hasn’t turned up by 10 give me a call and I’ll come pick you up. Can’t have you turning into a pumpkin now can we?
(A car drives up and beeps its horn.)
Holly: See ya.
Barney: Nice car!
Patrick: it’s not a classic.
Barney: you mean it’s newer than yours?
