No, thanks.
Amy
Oh, Doctor!
Tony
Doc, you no drink Tony’s health?
The Doctor
Oh, all right! [He drinks with the others.] Nasty stuff. [He drains his glass. They laugh, all of them.] Off to bed with you now, Tony!
Tony
My leg is hurt too much. I canno’ sleep.
The Doctor
I’ve got something that’ll make you sleep. [He mixes a powder in water and presents it to Tony for consumption.]
Tony
Jes’ Chris’! I canno’ drink water, Doc! [With the Doctor’s consent he adds wine to the draught.]
The Doctor
That’s right. . . . Drink up. . . . .
[The potion is downed.]
