“Hey Phil, did you remember to get me the Advil by any chance?”
PHILIP
“Oh crap! I forgot it again. OK, I give in. Here’s five bucks; you buy some.”
TONY
“Phil, I can wait, you know.”
PHILIP
“Don’t I know it.”
The word from the street
PHILIP
“How goes?”
TONY
“Just to tell you frankly, Phil, I’m feeling like hell, if you know what I mean.”
PHILIP
“Don’t worry, I believe you. What happened?”
TONY
“That’s my birthday for you, I’ll tell you. Folks came by and gave three cakes, one of those pies and I also got this bottle of wine too. So you know what the worst part is? The worst part of it is, you know, I don’t even drink normally, but I went and drank that one and I don’t remember anything about the last night or anything. My headjust feels like I got a whole road crew inside it. Thank God that girl had some Advils for me.”
TONY (to passerby)
Pardon me ma’am, I’m trying to get something for breakfast. Might you be able to spare some change for me?”
PASSERBY
“I’m sorry, I can’t. I would if I could.”
TONY
“No problem. By any chance, would you have any Advil on you?”
PASSERBY
“Oh yes. I’ve been getting a lot of headaches this week.
“Here you go, there’s six of them.”
TONY
“Thanks very much. I’ve got a few already, so I’ll have these for later.”
