(My Friend Lorenzo is written before a studio audience.)
Lorenzo:
I'm sorry. There must be a mistake. The medication I just paid for is Levoxyl, 88mcg. I thought I was picking up a supply of Cymbolic. You see, my doctor up my dose of Levoxyl to 125mcg, so I'm not taking the 88mcg anymore.
Agnes the pharmacy tech:
Okay. Well, it'll be about a 15-minute wait on the Cymbolic.
Lorenzo:
But it comes prepackaged, directly from the manufacturer.
Agnes:
Okay, it'll be about 15 minutes.
Lorenzo:
My I have the restroom key. I don't know why you have to ask for a key to use the restroom here. Sick people come in here and they may have to use the restroom without notice.
Agnes:
The restroom is closed.
Lorenzo:
But people still have to go late at night. I think you can reopen the restroom. And when I get back, you'll have the Cymbolic ready for me.
Agnes:
There is a gas station across the street. They have a restroom.
Lorenzo:
You know, I'll just come back tomorrow.
The next day...
Lorenzo:
I should have a bottle of Cymbolic waiting for me. And, I was just at the doctor's office. He electronically sent over a prescription for Azithromycin.
Belinda, the pharmacy tech:
What's the name?
Lorenzo:
Lorenzo Dunning.
Belinda:
L-A-U-R...?
Lorenzo:
No. L-O-R-E-N...
Belinda:
How do you spell the rest of it?
Lorenzo:
Z-O
Belinda:
Wait a minute. L-A-R...
Lorenzo:
No. L
Belinda:

Lorenzo:
O
Belinda:

15 minutes later...
Belinda:
And how do you spell your last name?
15 minutes later...
Belinda:
And what's your street address?
15 minutes later...
Belinda:
Okay. We have a prescription of Levoxyl waiting for you.
Lorenzo:
No. I was here last night. I don't need another supply of the Levoxyl 88mcg. I need Cymbolic.
Belinda:
Oh. You're the one who left last night because you didn't want to wait for the Levoxyl.
Lorenzo:
No. I left because I couldn't wait for the Cymbolic. I had to pee really, really bad and the young woman who was here last night said that the restroom was closed.
Belinda:
Closed? Are you sure she didn't say it was out of order?
Lorenzo:
Oh, was it out of order?
Belinda:
No.
Lorenzo:
Then I guess she didn't say it was out of order. That's her over there. (Point) She's the one who told me that the restroom was closed last night.
Agnes:
I didn't tell him the restroom was closed last night.
Lorenzo:
Yes you did.
Belinda:
There will be a 15-minute wait on the Cymbolic.
Lorenzo:
I thought Agnes was going to fill it last night so that it would be ready when I came in today.
Agnes:
You didn't tell me you were coming back in today.
Lorenzo:
Yes I did.
Belinda:
Did you want to wait for us to refill the Cymbolic or did you want to come back?
Lorenzo:
But it comes prepackaged, directly from the manufacturer. And I just got back from the doctor. He electronically sent you a prescription for Azithromycin.
Belinda:
We haven't received the prescription for the Azithromycin. Sometimes it takes one to two hours for us to receive electronic prescription requests. So you'll have to come back for it.
Lorenzo:
Have you checked to see if you've received it?
Belinda:
No.
Lorenzo:How often do you check to see if you've received any electronic prescription requests.
Belinda:
Every one to two hours.
Lorenzo:
You know, I'll bet you that you have received my prescription request. Why don't you go check on that?
10 minutes later...
Belinda:
Yes. We received it.
Lorenzo:
That must be the fastest electronic prescription request you've ever received.
Belinda:
It'll be about a 20-minute wait on the Azithromycin.
Lorenzo:
But it comes prepackaged. It's a full course of antibiotic therapy in five daily doses.
Claire:
Lorenzo, did you tell your doctor that you take Axlrose?
Lorenzo:
Uh...actually, I think I forgot to tell him that.
Claire:
Now Lorenzo, when your doctor asks you what medicines you take, you are supposed to....
Lorenzo:
Wait a minute. Don't be so patronizing. It was an honest mistake. I forgot.
Claire:
Now Lorenzo, I would never patronize someone as...capable...as you.
Belinda:
It looks like we have a bottle of Cymbolic prepackaged. And, we have the Azithromycin already in a box. Do you still want the Levoxyl?
Lorenzo:
No! I told Agnes last night that I didn't need the Levoxyl.
Agnes:
You didn't tell me you didn't want the Levoxyl.
Lorenzo:
Yes I did.
