【影片獨(dú)白臺(tái)詞】
Oh, Mrs. Solis, can I talk to you?
If this is about Juanita and the dessert cart. I told you not to leave it unattended.
No, I was reviewing her chart, and I realized we still had a couple of questions.
Is she allergic to any medications?
Uh, not that I'm aware of.
Okay, all her vaccinations up-to-date? -Yes.
And how old was she when you adopted her?
I know it's hard to believe that the little acorn gave birth to the mighty oak.
But believe me, I did.
Okay.
Maybe I'm confused, but the other day when we talked about possible blood transfusions, you told me you and your husband were type-O.
Yeah, we are. So?
Well, your daughter is type-A. Two O's can't have an A.
Oh, never mind.
Oa, whoa, whoa, what~what was that?
What was that "Oh, never mind"?
It's none of my business.
No, no tell me. What are you implying?
Nothing. I'm simply stating that the odds of Mr. Solis being the biological father of a type-A baby are roughly~nil.
Are you suggesting I cheated on him?
I'm simply stating that the odds of Mr. Solis being the biological father are~
Listen, nursie.
I know you spend your days emptying bedpans and shaving the groins of senior citizens, but there's no drama here.
I've been faithful to my husband.
I have nothing to hide.
