Quick Scene: The Emergency Room

  Scene:

Emergency Room.  Aaron, young man, sits on the examining table as the Doctor stands before him.

Doctor
You ate an entire wheel of cheese?

Aaron
Yep, the whoooole thing.

Doctor
What kind of cheese?

Aaron
It was yellow and roundish...

Doctor
Uh huh.

Aaron
... like a wheel, you know?

Doctor
I see.  And why exactly did you eat the entire wheel of cheese?

Aaron
They said I had to clean out the fridge.

Doctor
Uh huh.  And do you always do what the cheese wheels tell you to do?

Aaron
Huh?

Doctor
These voices... do they tell you to do other things... like hurt yourself or other people?

Aaron
No, I think you mis-

Doctor
Anything else in the fridge talk to you?  Tell you what to do?  How about the condiments or produce?  Anything from the meat drawer or the freezer?

Aaron
I beg your pardon?

Doctor
Great, here's Kelly.  Nurse Kelly is going to give you a shot that will make you a little sleepy.  Now, when you wake up, you'll meet all kinds of people who will want to talk to you about your cheese wheel friends.  Okay?  Okay!
