Before the doctor inject some medicine to calm Hong down, Hong give a card to the doctor.
Hong: (the nurses were holding Hong down on the bed) Call my friend and tell him I’m dead.
DR: (look at Hong) Why would I tell your friend your dead when your not?
Hong: Just do as I said! It’s my life, not your.
Dr: Okay.

Neecha: Of course it’s your. Why would I go around sleeping with other men? (look at Tawan with a smirk)
