Fun Like a Root Canal
"Fraser? Fraser? Hey, you in der, Frase?"
(sound of door opening and closing, then of one Chicago detective's hand hitting same Chicago detective's forehead with a great deal of force)
"Ow! Hey, Fraser, you don't look so good."
"Well."
"Well, what?"
"I don't look so well."
"You said it, Benton-buddy. What's da matter? You sick?"
"Yes, Ray, I believe I am ill."
"Geez, Fraser. Why didn't you say something?"
"I called in sick."
"And didn't da Ice Queen even come and check on you? Dat's cold, man."
"I'll be fine, Ray. It's just a little... a little..."
(Sound of one Canadian Mountie sneezing very loudly)
"God, Frase. I think you just blew away your desk."
"Really?"
"No, I was being sar... sarc... I was joking. You really are sick, aren't ya?"
(Sound of one Mountie being uncarachteristically sarcastic... does that make a sound?)
"No, Ray, I'm just faking it to get out of sentry duty."
(Sound of gears grinding in one Chicago detective's head)
"Frase, being sick really does ugly things to you."
"I'm sorry. I really don't know what came over me. Ray?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm going to be sick now."
(One hurried lunge for the trashcan, a few disgusting noises later)
"Fraser, next time aim *away* from me, 'kay?"
