Sir, please come out.

I don't want surgery.

Sorry.

You need to move to the hallway

and make room for other patients.

You've been here for 6 months.

The doctor says you're fine.

Don't occupy the bed.

Don't look back!

It's bad luck!

I bought food for everyone.

They haven't had lunch.

Don't know how long the surgery will take.

Nonsense.

Throw it away.

Yes, Sir.

Fatty.

Go.

You're lucky.

The bullet went into your head

but didn't do any critical damages.

Your bodily functions are not affected.

But the bullet is a foreign body.

If we don't remove it,

it may cause hemorrhaging,

pus, and infection,

and may kill you.

SIG P250, 9mm Parabellum, hollow point.

Not too penetrating but destructive.

Bang!

I should be a dead man.

How could I have survived?

How could I have survived?

The next 6 hours are critical.

Your condition may deteriorate suddenly.

By then, it'll be too late to operate.

I suggest you do it now.

There was a chicken on a farm.

Every morning, the farmer would feed it,

until it

became fat.

The chicken thought the

farmer was a good man.

One morning, the farmer came as usual.

But he didn't feed it. He killed it.

Because it was Thanksgiving!

The chicken relied on induction.

As a result, it died.

I didn't make up the story.

A philosopher called

Bertrand Russell wrote it

in his 1917 book Problems of Philosophy.

As a doctor,

it's my responsibility to remind you.

But it's your call.

Think it over.

Do we have chicken tonight?

- No!

- Russian chicken?

- No!

- Gourd tonight?

No!

No?

Then I'm dead.

I'll sue you!

I will definitely sue you!

I'll sue you!

I'll sue you!

Quiet down.

What happened?

Settle down...

Take it easy.

It's not good for you.

What are you doing?

Why draw the curtains?

We need to question him.

Why do you need to draw the curtains?

Excuse me,

When a patient is under observation,

it means the nurse

must be able to see him at all times

Excuse me,

I have something important to ask him.

Like what?

His condition isn't stable.

You can't use his statement in court.

Is this your first day on the job?

I'm not taking his statement.

His accomplices are on the loose,

and they are dangerous.

I'm just doing my job.

Thank you, Doctor.

It's called stress!

Greece is the least

happy; followed by Iraq,

then Bulgaria,

Hong Kong scores 6.4 on the happiness

index, fourth from the bottom.

She's having her period.

Where are your buddies?

Don't you remember?

Even when your colleague

put a gun to my head,

I still don't know.

I really don't.

The gun went off accidentally?

Don't you remember?

You resisted arrest,

seized a gun, and assaulted an officer.

My partner shot you in self-defense.
