Alice: | Oh no, I feel dreadful. I was throwing up all night long! |

Alice: | Yeah, I saw a completely different side to Paul. |
Michal: | Who? |
Alice: | Doctor Laver. |
All: | Oooh! |
Alice: | Oh don't! Give me a break! |
Tim: | So, was it the good doctor who made you ill? |
Alice: | No, it must've been something I ate. |
Helen: | But we all ate the same things. |
