The premise

Here’s the bit.

An RAF pilot visits a colleague recovering from a plane crash. His gift of grapes is dismissed with complaints about food intolerances, before the patient casually reveals that he has lost a leg. In the slang of modern teenagers, he recounts his furious reaction to the amputation and insists that a medical note excuses his swearing. When a doctor offers reassurance and a replacement leg, the patient responds with a homophobic insult, turning a kind bedside manner into a threat about the prosthetic.

Highly quotable.

I'm allergic to fruit. I've got this intolerance.

I've only got one leg now.
