David's wife bursts in pleading 'give me back my five gold bars' for cancer surgery. David refuses, saying marriage made her assets his and treatment pointless. He admits arranging for Kelly to take her college spot and taking her parents' jade pendant to help 'me' approach them, so 'those two old fools never got to meet their real daughter.' She curses and collapses in pain. At the door someone calls, 'Corey seems to have a fever—can you come help?' David must choose between answering that call and helping his collapsing wife.
