Man: Hey. What happened? Where's Sarah?
Woman: She just came out of surgery.
Man: What happened? I mean, how . . .
how serious is it?
Woman: Well, one of the witnesses said a
car hit her broadside when it ran a red light [
A red light? ]. A red light, and then her car burst into flames
within minutes of the accident, but the good thing was that some bystanders
pulled her out of the car just in time. She does have injuries though.
Man: So, like what? I mean . . .
Woman: She has a broken leg, a broken arm,
a broken nose, some broken ribs, and third-degree burns to her face and her
arms.
Man: Ah! So, was the other driver on
drugs or something? Where is he?
Woman: Uh, hold on, hold on.
Man: Uh. What do you mean?
Woman: Just settle down. Okay, you need to
calm down.
Man: I mean, settle down? We're talking
about my wife here.
Woman: I know. I know, but I can see
you're really upset, and you've got to calm down for a minute because this is
going to be awhile. Okay, now look. It looks like the woman that was driving
the vehicle
got distracted by something, or maybe she
fell asleep . . . .
Man: Probably using a cell phone or
something.
Woman: We just don't know. The police
don't know yet. They're trying to piece it all together, so . . .
Man: I mean, was the woman drunk or
something? I mean [
I don't know. ].
This is . . .
Woman: We can't jump to conclusions right now. We don't know,
and we just . . . right now, just, we just got to focus on Sarah, so . . . I
don't know.
Man: So, so, what's going on now?
Woman: Okay, right before you walked in,
the doctor talked to me. She had just come out of surgery. It looks like she's
going to be okay. [
Okay. ] She will
recover.
Man: Can I she her now?
Woman: Not yet. She will recover, but she's going to be in in
the hospital for at least a month. It just depends on her burns and how fast they
begin to heal. [
Oh, man. ] But she
is going to recover. You need to realize that.
Man: I mean, why . . . [ It's going to be rough. ] Ah. Why did this have to
happen?
Woman: I don't know. I don't know why.
Sometimes . . . I don't know, but listen, John. I want you to just calm down
for a minute, and I want you to think about something. [
Do you ] see that man over there?
Man: Yeah, that guy?
Woman: Yeah. It's his wife that hit your
wife, and [
Oh, wow. ] she's in a lot
worse shape. She probably isn't going
to make it. They don't know if she'll
make it through the night.
Man: Oh, wow. That's hard.
Woman: She didn't mean to do what
happened. She didn't mean to. Something happened, but your wife will recover.
Man: Oh, that's rough. That's really
rough. [
Yeah. ] Uh.
Woman: So, you know, just, uh, think about
it for a minute.
Man: Yeah, I need to do that, but right
now, I'm going to talk to the man. He probably just needs a friend.
