hello   i   would   like   :   somebody   joan   has   a   rather   strained,   but   professional   relationship with   (   publisher,   marketing   representative,   magazine   editor,   etc.   )   visiting   her   in   the   hospital   after   an   accident, strictly   out   of   obligation,   and   being   surprised   when   they   actually   manage   to   have   a   nice   conversation with   her.   bonus   points   if   this   becomes   a regular   occurrence.   extra   bonus   points   if   it   features   joan   desperately   trying   to   cover   up   the   fact   that   nobody   else   has   come   to   see   her.
