 C.: Can I take an aspirin from the bathroom, Peter?

 P.: Yes, of course. What's the matter? Headache?

 C.: No, a terrible toothache.

 P.: Would you like me to make an appointment for you with our dentist?

 C.: Well, I don't really want to go to a dentist here. I'd rather wait until I get back to France.

 P.: Why? Why wait?

 C.: Well, you wouldn't like to go to a French dentist, would you?

 P.: That's not the point. Our dentist is really very good.

(Talking to the dentist's receptionist)

 C.: Good afternoon. My name's Corinne Leblanc. I have an appointment with Mr. Winslow at quarter past three.

 R.: Pardon? Can you say your name again, please?

 C.: Corinne Leblanc.

 R.: How do you spell your surname?

 C.: L.E.B.L.A.N.C.

 R.: Oh yes. Well, would you like to take a seat in the waiting room?

Better the devil you know (than the devil you don't know).
