Louisa Glasson : I heard you on the radio.
Dr. Martin Ellingham : Oh. Which time?
Louisa Glasson : Does it matter?
Dr. Martin Ellingham : Yes, some were more painful than others.
Louisa Glasson : Really?
Dr. Martin Ellingham : No, they were all awful.
-
Dr. Martin Ellingham : Well, Caroline, it seems to me you have about a thousand locals who do nothing but talk about themselves. Why don't you interview one of them?
-
Dr. Martin Ellingham : Elaine. It is *not* your job to give medical advice over the telephone.
Elaine Denham : It was bellyache. That's not medical advice, it's common sense.
Dr. Martin Ellingham : Can *I* please decide who comes to my surgery?
Elaine Denham : No.
Dr. Martin Ellingham : No?
Elaine Denham : If they have bellyache or diarrhoea, I have them wait. If they've got something serious I get them in straight away.
Dr. Martin Ellingham : Thank you, I'm familiar with triage.
Elaine Denham : Right, so I want an apology. If is wasn't for me you'd have had a dozen diarrhoeas since yesterday.
Dr. Martin Ellingham : How many?
-
Dr. Martin Ellingham : I try to remain current - I find I kill fewer patients that way.
-
Dr. Martin Ellingham : You know, when I told my father that I wasn't going to follow him into the navy, we didn't speak for three months.
Bert Large : Yeah, but now you're older, you can understand his point, can't you? I mean, that's what I was trying to say to Al.
Dr. Martin Ellingham : No, we still don't speak actually.
-
Bert Large : So I've given everyone the runs?
Dr. Martin Ellingham : Quick as a flash.
-
Caroline Bosman : [interviewing the Doc on the radio] What was your first impression of our village?
Dr. Martin Ellingham : It's windy.
Caroline Bosman : And the people?
Dr. Martin Ellingham : The people?
Caroline Bosman : The people of Portwenn.
Dr. Martin Ellingham : What about them?
Caroline Bosman : Well, the people of Portwenn are a rich and diverse culture - I bet you've been struck by certain individuals?
Dr. Martin Ellingham : It's early days yet.
-
Dr. Martin Ellingham : Have you noticed an increased demand for diarrhoea remedies lately?
Mrs. Tishell : Yes - in fact you could say there's been a *run* on them.
