Dr. Brown Bear: Hello. Where’s my patient?
George: [gasps]
Dr. Brown Bear: Open wide and say, “Ahh.”

Dr. Brown Bear: Mm, Peppa, you’re big and brave. Can you show George how to say, “Ahh”?
Peppa Pig: [snorts] Of course. Ahh.
George: [giggles] Ahh.
Dr. Brown Bear: Hmm, George has caught a cold.
Peppa Pig: Does George need medicine?
