I’ll kill him. Tell me now, Maple.

Maple

We are all in agreement, right? Doctors are evil?

D

Why are you at the doctor’s? Please don’t tell me you fell down the stairs again. I swear you need a keeper.

Maple

No one is up to that job.

J

Are you okay???

Maple

I’m fine! Well, I’m pretty sure I am. I’ve been feeling a little lightheaded, so I’m probably deficient in some vitamin and need to go get a blood test. It’s probably the stress of exams.

D

You eat like a toddler that has no self-restraint. Of course you’re deficient in vitamins.

Maple

I occasionally eat a salad.

D

Not good enough.

Maple

I even drank a smoothie the other day!
