Coming back from vacation

Caine : Vivien! What on earth happened to you?

Vivien : Oh, I had a minor accident during my vacation. It's no big deal.

Caine : No big deal? You're in a wheelchair and you have a cast all the way up your thigh!

Vivien : Well, it's only a small break in my thigh bone so it will heal fast. The other tuk-tuk slammed right into the door on my side.

Caine : A tuk-tuk? Tell me exactly what happened. Give me  the play-by-play.

Vivien : Okay, but there isn't much to it. Christina and I were in a tuk-tuk on our way to the royal palace in Bangkok and another tuk-tuk ran a red light because he saw potential passengers across the road and didn't want to lose them to another driver. It all happened so fast. 

Caine : How's Christina? And what about the drivers?

Vivien : Christina got a big cut on her forehead, but she didn't need to stay in the hospital. Our driver had s dislocated shoulder and the guy who hit us had a concussion and a few broken ribs. 

Caine : That was a really stupid move! He could've killed somebody and himself.

Vivien : Well, as soon as he gets out of the hospital, he'll be going to jail. But I let him know that I forgave him when I was leaving. 

Caine : Wow, that was really big of you. There isn't a chance in hell I would've done the same.
