Carl and Hospital receptionist in “Unfinished Business”

Hey.

HRHospital receptionist

How can I help you?

I need a liver.

HRHospital receptionist

What's wrong with yours?

It's for my father. His is rotting. It smells.

HRHospital receptionist

Oh, my, that ain't good. Is he on the donor list?

I don't think so. Can I sign him up?

HRHospital receptionist

Your father would have to be seen by a specialist, and then, referred to us, so he can be put on the list.

Then he gets a liver?

HRHospital receptionist

He'd have to wait for one to be available.

How long does that take?

HRHospital receptionist

Sweetie, more than 17,000 people in the U.S. are on the liver transplant list.

That's a lot of dead livers you're gonna need.

HRHospital receptionist

Six thousand people are fortunate enough to get one each year.

What about the rest?

HRHospital receptionist

Doesn't work out for everyone.

What's the point of being an organ donating center if you're not donating enough organs?

HRHospital receptionist

Someone from your family can donate a portion of their liver.

Me. I'll do it.

HRHospital receptionist

You need to be over 18.

My brother and my sister are.

HRHospital receptionist

Well, that's a start. Why don't you find out if they're a blood match with your father?

I already know they are. My father only screwed a Mexican whore while he was with my mom and they can't get pregnant.

HRHospital receptionist

Everyone's blood type is different. Sometimes even if they're related. Take these at-home testing kits. Prick the person's finger, put a drop of blood on the enclosed card. It'll show their blood type.

Okay, thanks.
