My Hero2000

[first lines]

Mr Lawrence:
I've, uh, come for my blood test.

Janet:
Oh, Mr Lawrence; shouldn't keep you too long.

Mr Lawrence:
I've been very good. Um, wife and I haven't made love for ten days, as instructed.

Janet:
Instructed by who?

Mr Lawrence:
By your receptionist, Mrs Raven. She said it was vital that we abstain for ten days before my test so that the, uh, my blood doesn't get overheated.

Janet:
Ah, did she?

Mr Lawrence:
Yes, I've been doing the other things as well, you know; having three cold baths a day; running round the garden naked.

Janet:
Right. Anything else she's told you?

Mr Lawrence:
She said it was vital that I get rid of impurities, so she told me to stop eating five days ago.

Janet:
And you did!

Mr Lawrence:
Not a crisp has passed these lips.

Janet:
Right. Right. Well, if you'd like to take as seat.

Mr Lawrence:
Yes, I wouldn't mind; I feel a little faint.
