Summary: Slow dialog: 1:15 Explanations: 2:58 Fast dialog: 12:41 Wei: What’s wrong? You look like you’re in pain. Jason: My stomach is acting up again. Wei: It’s all of this stress. I don’t know how anyone can cope with the pressures you’re under. Jason: It’s nothing. I’ll just take a pill for my stomach. Wei: That won’t solve the problem. Look at you. You look worn out. Are you losing sleep, too? Jason: I have had trouble sleeping. Wei: It’s no wonder. At home, you have the demands of raising two kids on your own, and at work, you’re in a dog-eat-dog environment everyday. Jason: I have to admit that my nerves are shot, but what can I do? Wei: Maybe we can work something out. To start, how about if I watch your kids for a few hours this weekend so you can get some rest? Jason: I couldn’t ask you to do that. You have to take care of your own kids. Wei: So, what’s two more? Jason: If you really don’t mind, I’ll take you up on that. I could really use a breather. Wei: It’s set, then. Here, take one of these pills. If it doesn’t kill you, it’ll make you stronger. Jason: Thanks! Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
