It's pouring outside, and the two men need to talk. They're not sure what to do, so they decide to go get the doctor. The doctor tells them that he's already donated his blood a month ago to the family, and that the blood is starting to take its toll on his body. He's not sure if the doctor's fever has gone down, but it's still pretty high. He asks if they want to go back to the hospital, but the doctor says he'll just go get him. He tells the doctor to keep his hand on his forehead for a bit longer, because his hand is getting a bit tired. He says that he checked on the doctor, and he was fine. He then asks if he can go to the birthday party for director vang, and she says she can't, because she's sick. The two men go to a nearby cake shop to buy a birthday cake for each other. They don't know when they'll be able to get it, because they're both too sick to do it. They both feel bad about not being able to celebrate their birthdays.
