Dr. Martin Ellingham quotes from Doc Martin

Louisa Glasson

Don't wake him!

Dr. Martin Ellingham

Smell that. Alcohol.

Louisa Glasson

No. She wouldn't!

Dr. Martin Ellingham

What else does it look like?

Eleanor Glasson

I'll just be off. If ever you need a babysitter, you know where I am.

Louisa Glasson

Did you put something in this?

Eleanor Glasson

Just a few drops of my tonic. He loves it. It's homeopathic - sort of.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

What do you mean "sort of"?

Eleanor Glasson

Camphor, lavender, bit of thyme, apple peel.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

Yeast. Yeast in the apple peel turns the plant sugars into alcohol.

Louisa Glasson

It's alcoholic!

Dr. Martin Ellingham

You have drugged our child.

Eleanor Glasson

Don't you think you're taking this a bit far? I've been taking it for years.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

Haven't you noticed the effect it has on you? I have.

Eleanor Glasson

Never did you any harm.

Louisa Glasson

Just go. Please.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

How was London that time?

Dr. Ruth Ellingham

Noise, crowds, heat, pollution... I loved it.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

Come back to the surgery this afternoon, and I'll dress this wound properly. And you must stay off work for at least two days.

I can't do that, Doc!

Dr. Martin Ellingham

(Brusquely) Fine. Go back to work. Wait till the soft tissue becomes infected - then I'll gladly amputate your hand when it becomes gangrenous.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

What are you doing here?

Louisa Glasson

Surgery is now on session. (Mimicking Martin) What medical complaint do you have?

Dr. Martin Ellingham

What?

Louisa Glasson

"What" is not a medical complaint. Don't waste my time. (Pointing to the door) Get out! Out! Out! Out! (Stops mimicking him) I'm doing you.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

We should make some time later to discuss the child's name.

Louisa Glasson

(She stands up) Right. Yes. (She bows a bit) I'm going to make an appointment. (Leaves the surgery)

Dr. Martin Ellingham

That will not be necessary.

Dr. Ruth Ellingham

(Eating a chicken dinner in Ruth's kitchen) So, who's going to look after the baby while you're at work?

Louisa Glasson

My mother.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

If she remembers to turn up.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

Morwenna!

If you are asking about the ambulance, don't bother. It's not coming. It's not my fault. They annotated the call as from Portwegggan. It has just arrived there.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

Call another ambulance.

I did that. They are trying to find one. Are you happy to wait?

Dr. Martin Ellingham

Of course I'm not happy!

Louisa Glasson

Are you nervous?

Dr. Martin Ellingham

:(Mumbles)

Louisa Glasson

Me too.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

We'll make an appointment to come back in a four days.

What happens if I drop there before them?

Dr. Martin Ellingham

We'll cancel the appointment.
