Yi-jun: Holly, I just heard some terrible news.
Holly: Me, too. I overheard someone say Taylor has a brain tumor 2.
Yi-jun: What? No, I heard that he has stomach cancer. His ex-girlfriend said it.
Holly: That could explain all his stomachaches. He's trying to hide it from us.
Yi-jun: Maybe that's why he didn't show up at the potluck. Have you seen him?
Holly: No, but someone said he was in the men's room puking. Follow me!

怡君跑去找荷莉
怡君：荷莉，我刚听到一些可怕的消息。
荷莉：我也是。我不小心听到有人说泰勒有脑瘤。
怡君：什么？不是，我听到的是他有胃癌。他的前女友说的。
荷莉：难怪他老是胃痛。他想要瞒着我们。
怡君：或许他没去自助餐会，就是因为这个。你有看到他吗？
荷莉：没，但是有人说他在男厕所吐。跟我来！
