اتصل الصيني الأمريكي (سام وان) بالشركة التي تعمل فيها أخته (آني وان) وطلب من السنترال أن يعطيه أخته (آني) ليكلمها بأمر مهم يتعلق بالحادث الذي أصاب أخاهما (نو وان). فدار بينه وبين السنترال الحديث التالي الذي لو تمت ترجمته لفقد معناه. وقد حصل سوء تفاهم بسبب الطريقة الصينية في لفظ اللغة الإنجليزية.

Operator: Yes I understand you want to speak to anyone. You can speak to me. Who is this?
Caller: I'm Sam Wan. And I need to talk to Annie Wan! It's urgent.
Operator: I know you are someone and you want to talk to anyone! but what's this urgent matter about?
Caller: Well, just tell my sister Annie Wan that our brother Noe Wan was involved in an accident. Noe Wan got injured and now Noe Wan is being sent to hospital. Right now, Every Wan is on his way to the hospital.
Operator: Look, if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, then the accident isn't an urgent matter! You may find this hilarious but I don't have time for this!
