Operator: I know u are someone and u want to talk to anyone! But what's this urgent matter about?

 

Wang: Well just tell my sister Annie Wang that our brother, Noe Wang was involved in an accident.  Noe Wang got injured and now Noe Wang is being sent to the hospital. Right now, Avery Wang is on his way to the hospital.

 

Operator: Look if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital from the accident that isn't an urgent matter! You may find this hilarious but I don't have time for this!

 

Wang: You are so rude! Who are you?

 

Operator: I'm Saw Lee.
