PHARMACIST: Hello.
May I help you?

Could you tell me what to take for it?

You can take this cold medicine tonight before you go to bed.
It'll help you sleep .. NICOLO: But it's sore right now.

Do I pay here?

In a few hours, your ear will feel much better.
MR.

and night?
That's every twelve hours, at eight o'clock in the
morning and eight at night?

It should take you about a week to finish the medicine.

Thanks a lot.

night.

eaten.
