Doctor: (Referring to patient index card) LET ME SEE, THIRD TIME THIS YEAR YOU’VE HAD DIARRHOEA. IS THAT CORRECT? (Looking up). STILL EATING HALF A DOZEN BANANAS EVERY DAY I SUPPOSE? (Pause - shaking his head and picking up his pen). I WANT YOU TO TAKE THIS THREE TIMES A DAY. (Tearing a note off the pad in front of him. He stands up and hands it to the patient). AND DON’T EAT ANY FRUIT FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
(The camera draws back to show a gorilla. It takes the prescription, nods its head, and walks towards the door).
