Lola – I said I’ll tell him later, what happened.

Doctor Rafael – Yes good idea, and you are his.?

Lola – Is it good news.

Doctor Rafale – We’ve run all the test on him, he just had high blood pressure due to stress, which made him feel dizzy, that’s why he fainted.

Lola – How about his blue hand, what’s the matter.

Doctor Rafael – I can’t say, of all the years I’ve worked as a doctor I’ve never seen anything like it. He’ll have to see a specialist as soon as possible, but for now you’re free to go.

Lola – Ok thank you, where is he.

Doctor Rafael – I’ll just send him out to you in a moment.

Stanley emerges from the hospital room and greets Lola.

Stanley – Lola darling.

Lola – Shut up, save it, I’m taking you home.

Lola calls for a Taxi, the taxi arrives, and they make their way home.

Lola – Where’s your apartment keys.
