Chris: Ann. So glad I found you. Can I talk to you for a minute?
Ann: Um, okay.
Chris: [exhales deeply] I need to ask you a question, and if you're uncomfortable answering it right now, you can take some time and think about it. That would be okay.
Ann: Okay.
Chris: Is tendonitis symptomatic of something larger?
Ann: Really, that's the question you wanted to ask me?
Chris: I'm just very worried. I'm not sure that this doctor's been properly trained.
Ann: You know what, Chris? I'm sorry, but I'm not your nurse, and I'm not your girlfriend and... I thought I was twice, and I was wrong, which was embarrassing. I'm just not ready to be your friend.
Chris: Of course. I'm sorry. I do hope we can be friends before I die.
