T: Just take it slow
OK?
Tad walks in while Liza is doubled over in pain.
T: Liza what is it? What's wrong?
He walks her to her desk.
T: Just take it slow
OK?
L: Any slower and I'll be going backwards.
T: Ok just have a seat here where's your directory?
L: What for?
T: What do you mean what for? For a doctor. They usually come in handy when you're doubled over.
L: I don't need a doctor. I'm fine.
T: Just humor me. Let's call one anyway alright?
L: No it's Marissa Birkstrum's fault.
T: Marissa Birkstrum? You mean the exercise guru?
L: Yes I turned on the television the other day she was exercising her way to a perfect body.
T: Don't tell me you turned into an instant convert?
L: Yes I went to the health club. I did the power cruncher. You know nine steps to a beautiful you? I pulled down on the ab stretcher and snap. Something went.
L: Yeah your common sense.
L: Well I couldn't straighten up and it's been that way ever since.
T: I don't know you weren't doing the quasimoto earlier.
L: I was trying to merge stress and pain management. It's my new passion.
T: Are you sure that's all it is?
L: What you want more?
T: No. It's just that you know. When you walked in it didn't seem like it was something muscular that's all.
L: Are you attending premed on your spare time?
T: It doesn't take a genius to tell when someone's in pain. As a matter of fact, when you're a parent it kind of goes with the lunch, it also doesn't hurt to check.
L: I'm fine. I'll take a couple of aspirin.
T: Ok terrific. I'll call my dad at the hospital to see if he can squeeze you in.
L: No. No. No. I am fine ok? I'm way behind on the school violence series. You can take care of that, I'm on my way to editing.
Liza Leaves
Later Tad comes into Liza's Office
Tad and Rudy
T: Liza I got a piece of dish from the states
T: Where's Liza?
R: You just missed her.
T: What do you mean I just missed her? She's up in editing?
R: No. She went home. I'll tell you I never thought I'd see the day that Liza Colby checked out of this place in broad daylight. How about you?
Tad answers the phone
T: No I'm sorry she's not right here. Can I take a message?
Nurse: This is Doctor Clader's office. Please tell her that if she still wants to move up her appointment or if her symptoms persist, she can call doctor Clader at 555-6861. He'll be picking up his messages.
T: Uh Ok, thank you very much. Listen, is that Dr. Clader, the ob-gyn? Huh Well, listen, I'll make sure she gets the message. Thank you. Why would Liza call an ob-gyn?
