Mrs. Tishell quotes from Doc Martin

Dr. Martin Ellingham

Have you noticed an increased demand for diarrhoea remedies lately?

Mrs. Tishell

Yes - in fact you could say there's been a *run* on them.

Mrs. Tishell

Have you had this medication before?

No.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

No. And why is that, Mrs Bollard?

Don't know, Dr. Ellingham.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

Yes, you do. You've already damaged your liver and, until you get your alcohol consumption under control, Diclofenac will make it worse.

The new doctor said I could have some for my ankles.

Dr. Martin Ellingham

Well, she's wrong. Put it back.

Eleanor Glasson

Have you got any avocado oil?

Mrs. Tishell

This is a pharmacy, not a voodoo store, Eleanor.

Eleanor Glasson

Sally! I didn't recognise you. Sea air is *really* harsh on the skin, isn't it?

Mrs. Tishell

You're back.

Eleanor Glasson

Yes, for Lulu.

Mrs. Tishell

Yes, that will be a nice change for Louisa.

Eleanor Glasson

Not before time, thank God. Poor thing's swamped. And that man of hers - total waste of space.

Mrs. Tishell

(Indignantly) Doctor Ellingham is one of the finest human beings I have ever met.

Eleanor Glasson

(Cattily) Well I don't suppose you meet that many. Never really heard the call of the wild, did you?

Mrs. Tishell

I heard the call. I just chose not to listen. I leave that to the likes of you.

Eleanor Glasson

Life's adventuress.

Mrs. Tishell

That wasn't quite the word I had in mind.
