TONY
“You look like you’ve been hit by a Mac truck.”

PHILIP
“Feels like it a bit.”

TONY
“What happened?”

PHILIP
“Drug reaction, I think.”

TONY
“Didn’t I tell you to stay away from drugs.”

PHILIP
“It was cold medicine, for God’s sake. I think I had some sort of weird interaction problem.”

TONY
“What happened?”

PHILIP
“I called a friend in New York to go out for a coffee. I thought it was his birthday.”

TONY
“Did you at least tell him happy birthday?”

PHILIP
“I can’t remember. I can’t even remember calling him.”

TONY
“So how do you know you called him?”

PHILIP
“He sent me an email asking if I was OK.”

TONY
“Well you seem OK now. A Mac truck can sure take a lot out of you, though.”

PHILIP
“Very funny. Can I get you a coffee?”
