Brad: Are you sure it was him?

Femi: I used to date him. Of course it was him.

Brad: You're a nurse at New York General Hospital?

Femi: Yes, on the cancer ward. And Taylor was there. He walked right by me and didn't even see me.

Brad: Maybe he was just visiting someone.

Femi: But you saw how skinny and pale he looks. He has "cancer patient" written all over his face.

布萊德：或許他只是去探病。

費(fèi)　咪：但是你看他的樣子多瘦多蒼白。他就是一付癌癥病患的模樣。
