Doc Martin · Season 1
(Martin and Louisa are speaking about Eleanor)
I'be managed perfectly alone all these years. I don't need her interfering now.
But you wrote to her about the baby.
Yes, of course I did.
So you must to want to her to have some kind of involvement with him.
I don't know! It wasn't a rational thing, Martin!
(Louisa sighs)
(Listening to James on the baby monitor) He's stopped crying!
Maybe I should go and check.
Martin. She's my mother. I'll be the one that doesn't trust her.
Don't wake him!
Smell that. Alcohol.
No. She wouldn't!
What else does it look like?
I'll just be off. If ever you need a babysitter, you know where I am.
Did you put something in this?
Just a few drops of my tonic. He loves it. It's homeopathic - sort of.
What do you mean "sort of"?
Camphor, lavender, bit of thyme, apple peel.
Yeast. Yeast in the apple peel turns the plant sugars into alcohol.
It's alcoholic!
You have drugged our child.
Don't you think you're taking this a bit far? I've been taking it for years.
Haven't you noticed the effect it has on you? I have.
Never did you any harm.
Just go. Please.
How was London that time?
Noise, crowds, heat, pollution... I loved it.
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!
(Brusquely) Fine. Go back to work. Wait till the soft tissue becomes infected - then I'll gladly amputate your hand when it becomes gangrenous.
(Martin sees Louisa sitting at his desk)
What are you doing here?
Surgery is now on session. (Mimicking Martin) What medical complaint do you have?
What?
"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.
We should make some time later to discuss the child's name.
(She stands up) Right. Yes. (She bows a bit) I'm going to make an appointment. (Leaves the surgery)
That will not be necessary.
(Louisa talks to Martin about Eleanor's meeting with Paul Hale)
I think they have a date. You know the worst thing is? I'm actually a bit jealous. Because while she gets out and funs I'm here at home. With a baby and you. (Martin is eyeing her seriously) But in a good way.
(Morwenna comes in the surgery while Martin is attending to a patient)
I'll knock later. You have to go!
(Morwenna is reluctant to be revaccinated for tetanus because of her fear of needles)
Unless you let me give you that injection, I will fire you.
(Morwenna faints and falls on the floor when sees the syringe in Martin's hand)
I'll do.
(Eating a chicken dinner in Ruth's kitchen) So, who's going to look after the baby while you're at work?
My mother.
If she remembers to turn up.
You went to a loan shark?
That's not what it's called them so!
But you know that what it is!
(Mrs. Dingley comes in Martin's house to be attended)
Are you open?
Dr. Martin Ellingham (Next to the receptionist's desk): Door is unlocked. Most people take that as a good indication.
(Al and Bert Large are asking for PC Penhale's help with their problem with the loan shark, but the police officer is reluctant to give it because that's not a criminal matter, but a civil one.)
I'm saying I can't. My hands are tied ... by the Law.
You know what, Joe? The Law is an arse.
(Martin is expecting an ambulance for Eleanor because of a dangerous hernia to be extirpated)
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.
Call another ambulance.
I did that. They are trying to find one. Are you happy to wait?
Of course I'm not happy!
