"We really ought to get an electric drill, Doctor."
"Yaaah, go ahead, deny me one of my few remaining simple pleasures. Mop my brow, wouldja?"
The nurse obediently ran a mop across the doctor's forehead. He continued vigorously working the drill, grunting and heaving as he churned. Sweat poured out of his body.
"Suction, nurse."

A fiery red plume of smoke escaped from the newly-formed hole with a loud hiss. All eyes followed the apparition as it rose to the ceiling.
"Nurse!" the doctor cried. "Suction! For God's sake, suck for all you're worth!"
