At The Pharmacy
Hello sir, how can I help you?
Yes, I need this prescription please.
Let’s see. Okay, so 50 mg of Prozac, would you prefer this in capsule or tablet?
Capsules are fine.
Okay, you should take 1 capsule 3 times a day. Be sure not to take it on an empty stomach, and also, don’t ever mix it with alcohol!
Yes, I know. It’s not the first time I’m taking this! Don’t worry, I won’t overdose!
Okay, anything else I can get you?
Oh, yes, I almost forgot! Can I also get some eye drops and um, some condoms?
Sure. Darn condoms aren’t registered in our system.
Oh, well that’s okay, I’ll get some later, thanks... Really it’s no problem.
Just hang on there a sec. Can I get a price check on ” Fun Times Ribbed Condoms” please!
