**Andy walks in**
Andy: Y'uhright Jane?
Jane: Hiyer Andy.
Andy: Here for my repeat.
Jane: Okay, wait a sec for us.
Andy: Sound...
**Jane walks off to get Andy's plethora-filled bag of medications and returns**
Jane: "Aaand what's your address?"
Andy: "... The Hacienda in Manchester...."
Jane: "Very funny... Have these been holding you Andy?"
Andy: "... Yeah I've been fine"
Jane: "Not using?"
Andy: "Nah I've been clean for months love" **Lying**
Jane: "I'm very glad to hear that" **Smiles at Andy** "Here's you go Andy" **Hands him his meds**
Andy: "Cheers Jane. I'll see you next week."
Jane: "Okay Andy, Bye for now!"
Andy: "See ya..."
Kathy: "He's obviously using on top of all that, don't you think?"
Kav: "Yuuuh he could be.... But what can we do?"
Jane: "Tell him to fuck off and go score?"
Kav: "Don't be fucking stupid Jane. Yes, he may be using ontop..."
Kathy: "He is..."
Kav: "Just shut up Kath. Do you know what his life is like? How his day is? What his mind is going through??? He's on 4 different meds and that's just to help him feel stable!"
Jane: "He's right Kath, we don't know how these people live..."
Kav: "Exactly! So lay off him. Or I'll lock you in a room and administer you Morphine for weeks until you are addicted and then I'll give you nothing...."
Kathy: ".... That's a bit much, don't you think?"
Jane: "Yeah honestly, you sound fucking crazy Kav..."
**Andy walks back in as they forgot to give him his Temazepam**
Kav: "... Sorry about that... Shit's tough with my life and the money problems."
Jane: "Yeah I'm sorry Kav."
Kathy: "We're all having such problems so this is bound to happen... fist-bump and forget?"
**They all nod and fist-bump**
Andy: "Sorry guys, you forgot my Temazepam.."
Kathy: "Owwww I'm sorry Andy - We're all in a bit of arg situation and it's making it hard to keep professional with work."
Andy: "Yeah I sort of overheard you lot, it's alright don't worry about it.... Hmmm..."
Kathy: "Hmmm what?"
Andy: "I..... mayyyyyy.... have a solution to your problems..."
**Kav and Jane's heads pop back from around the corner into view**
Kathy: "Really???"
Andy: "Yes, definitely. It's just a factor of how far you're willing to, shall we say, 'Bend things...'."
Kav: "I'm thoroughly intrigued and slightly worried at the same time..."
Jane: "Ditto..."
Andy: "Okay then, well when you close up for the night, I'll meet you at the Punch Bowl and we can discuss it over a drink."
Kav: "Andy you do know..."
Andy: "Yeeeesssssss I'm not supposed to drink on these meds! But it does make getting pissed a shit load cheaper!" **Winks and chuckles**
Kathy: "... What?..."
Andy: "What do you mean, "What" ?"
Kathy: "You can't drink on the drugs you're on?"
Andy: ".... So this is the employment skills necessary for one to work in a pharmacy?!?! Hahahaha! Fuuuckin hell!"
Kathy: "Fuck off! What're you on about?"
Kav: "Andy can't..."
Andy: "Hang on Kav - I'll tell her: Because I'm on a plethora of CNS depressants, aka. Substances that slow down breathing etc. , I shouldn't be ingesting other drugs that have the same
effect, such as Ethanol, because it could stop me breathing."
Kathy: "So why aren't you dead then?"
Andy: "Because I know my limits.... Infact that's another thing we're going to provide to our "customers" - Harm Reduction advice."
Jane: "... Sooooo THEY don't die."
Andy: "Precisely."
Kav: "A very good idea... I must say, whilst trying not to sound like a condescending prick, you know your stuff, sir!"
Andy: "Thank you very much, you condescending prick..."
**Andy winks at Kav and they both chuckle**
