Lynda:
Ruby Grogan?

Ruby:
Yes?

Lynda:
Sorry, but Spike won't be coming in today.

Ruby:
Oh?

Lynda:
He's a bit off color. Well, parts of him. It's his rash again.

Ruby:
His what?

Lynda:
It's horribly inflamed.

Ruby:
Inflamed?

Lynda:
Horribly, yes. Well you know how it is when his sores start up.

Ruby:
Well, should I go and see him?

Lynda:
What, actually look at him you mean? Oh no, I wouldn't advise that. Anyway, it's contagious.

Ruby:
It is?

Lynda:
Very. You haven't been touching anything of his have you?

Ruby:
Well I sat in his chair...

Lynda:
You'll be alright, I know you will.

[Pushes Ruby out the door of the newsroom, then knocks on the bathroom door. Spike comes out]

Spike:
You told her I was busy?

Lynda:
Yes.

Spike:
Thanks.
