A Preston-Addison conversation! I always thought they had a good relationship.


Fixed

"Preston, is the coffee-maker working?"

"Does anyone ever use it?"

"Yes, people use it. I'm sure the interns used it all the time until they discovered the hospital café, and I want to feel accomplished today, so I'm making my own coffee, Brian Robeson style."

"Uh-huh. The interns discovered the café because the coffee-maker is broken."

"No it's not."

"Addison, the entire filtering system is shot."

"...Ha. Fixed it."

"That was instant coffee."

"It went through the filter and made coffee, didn't it?"

"Are you seriously going to drink that?"

"No. You have ten dollars? I'll get you one, too."


Reference: Brian Robeson is the brave boy in The Hatchett, by Gary Paulsen, who survived in the wilderness with...um...a hatchett.
