“Is there anything I can do to make it more pleasurable?”

Michael Scott calls Oscar Martinez (The Office) into his office to get his advice on an upcoming medical procedure:

“It is a colonoscopy. In your experience, what should I be expecting, in terms of sensation, or emotions? Is there anything I can do to make it more pleasurable for me or Dr. Chaudry?”

I was reminded of this from a 2006 episode of Ricky Gervais’ podcast.
