[speaker001:] Hi, Mr. Smith. I 'm Dr. Hawkins. Why are you here today?
[speaker002:] I thought it would be a good idea to get a check-up.
[speaker001:] Yes, well you haven 't had one for... five years. You should have one every year.
[speaker002:] I know. I figure as long as there 's nothing wrong, why go see the doctor?
[speaker001:] Well, the best way to avoid serious illnesses is to find out about them early. So, try to come at least once a year for your own good.
[speaker002:] O. K.
[speaker001:] Let me see here. Your eyes and ears look fine. Take a deep breath, please. Do you smoke, Mr. Smith?
[speaker002:] Yes.
[speaker001:] Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer and heart disease, you know. You really should quit.
[speaker002:] I 'Ve tried a hundred times, but I just can 't seem to kick the habit.
[speaker001:] Well, we have classes and some medications that might help. I 'll give you more information before you leave.
[speaker002:] O. K., thanks, doctor.
