Root of  problem: The chinese name - Annie Wan (Anyone) 




Caller : Hello, can I speak to Annie Wan? (anyone) 

Operator : Yes, you can speak to me. 

 

Caller: No, I want to speak to Annie Wan! 
 

Operator: You are talking to someone! Who is this? 
 

Caller: I'm Sam Wan (someone) 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 Noel Wan (no one) was involved in an accident. Noel Wan got injured and now Noel Wan is being sent to the hospital. Right now,  Avery 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! 
 

Caller: You are so rude! Who are you? 
 

Operator: I'm Saw Lee. (sorry) 
 

Caller: Yes! You should be sorry. Now give me your name!!

Apparently, some Chinese names sound like some English words. Since BOTH the caller and the operator are Chinese, they were supposed to use the Chinese language.
