  Jeff: That kind of mix is really popular in the States right now.
Sylvia: Really? Americans know about stuff like acupuncture and Chinese herbs?
Jeff: Of course. People just eat stuff like that up. And feng shui is very popular, too.
Sylvia: No kidding. Maybe I should tell my doctor friends to go work in the States.
Jeff: They’d have a lot of competition, especially in California!
Sylvia: You know, back when she was comatose, the doctors almost donated away Liu’s organs.
Jeff: Damn good thing they didn’t. She’d wake up without a heart. [the door opens]
Sylvia: It’s Mr. Green. Quick! If he catches us watching TV, he’ll donate our organs, too!

杰夫:他们会有很多竞争对手,尤其在加州!
席薇雅:你知道吗,当初她昏迷时,医生差点把刘小姐的器官捐出去了。
