Dorothy: Ma, why are you still here? You were supposed to have your checkup with Dr. Siegel this morning.
Sophia: Oh, you didn't hear about Dr. Siegel.
Dorothy: Hear what?
Sophia: I'm not going.
Dorothy: Ma, you are impossible. Now, this is the third appointment you've missed.
Sophia: At my age, checkups can be dangerous to your health. You know Sam down the block, the one who thinks he's hiding his stomach by wearing Hawaiian shirts?
Dorothy: Yeah, Sam is fine.
Sophia: His brother went for a checkup seven years ago. The doctor said he was great. Three days after the exam, he was dead.
Dorothy: Ma, he owed money to a guy named Face and got thrown off a pier.
Sophia: That was one of the causes.
