Careful (Slow) Pronunciation

JOE: My tooth's driving me crazy.

GEORGE: Then you've got to make an appointment with a dentist.

JOE: I've got to find one first. I don't have a dentist.

GEORGE: I have to go downtown. Come on. Let's go to my dentist.

JOE: I can't. I have to study.

GEORGE: Are you going to go to the dentist after that? Your tooth has to be taken care of.

JOE: I know it has to be taken care of. But I've got to get some gas.

GEORGE: Then are you going to go to the dentist?

JOE: Well, no. After that, I have to go to the bank.

GEORGE: Okay, but after you go to the bank, you've got to go to the dentist!
