Dialogue Script (2 speakers)

Vet: Hello. Come in. And who is this? Lucy: This is Max. He's four years old. Vet: Hello, Max. So, what's the problem? Lucy: He isn't eating. And he's very tired. He usually loves his walks. Vet: How long has he been like this? Lucy: Two days. Vet: Okay. Let me check him. <short pause> His temperature is a little high. Lucy: Is it serious? Vet: I don't think so. I think he has a small stomach infection. Lucy: Oh, poor Max. Vet: Give him these tablets twice a day with food. Small meals are best. Lucy: Okay. Should I bring him back? Vet: Yes, come back on Friday. And keep an eye on him. Call us if he gets worse. Lucy: Thank you, doctor. Come on, Max!
