APAD: Let's get the show on the road

Meaning:

Let's get moving (with an undertone of stop wasting time)

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Again, I heard this first from Doc Martin. Toward the end, his arrogance,

condescenison, artless mien, all symptoms from an autistic and left-out

childhood, came back to haunt the doctor despite of his stellar service to Port

Wenn. The General Medical Council assembled for a hearing where professor

Langan, a former mentor, presided.

 

His jokes failed to enliven the opening. Langan's contenance fell.

 

"No, no. That was small talk. And I forgot you don't partake."

 

Then, the piqued professor menacingly intoned:

 

"Right. Well, let's get the show on the road, then, shall we?"
