A conversation with my dentist

"Can you not do that?"
"No, I have to."
"You have to?"
"Yes."
"They taught you one way to do it."
"It's how it's done."
"It hurts."
"I know."
"Do you? I doubt that. I'm not being rude. I'm just saying I bet you take awesome care of your teeth. You've never had to go through what you're doing to me right now. You have no way to empathize. How could you? I mean, kudos to you for having perfect hygiene. But I'm suffering here."
"Open."
"Did I mention about the hurting?"
"You did."
"Nothing you can do?"
"No."
"You can't gas me? A little bit?
"No."
"A shot."
"If you demand it, I can give you a shot."
"Then I demand the shot."
"It'll hurt."
