"Suatu malam seorang pria memukul kepalanya dengan pistol las. Dia berlutut. Dia berdarah seperti babi, darah mengalir keluar. Jadi saya menghentikan garis sebentar dan berlari untuk membantunya. Mandor menyalakan telepon lagi, dia hampir menginjak orang itu. Itu hal pertama yang selalu mereka lakukan. Mereka bahkan tidak memanggil ambulans. Pria itu berjalan ke departemen medis - itu sekitar setengah mil - dia memiliki sekitar lima jahitan di kepalanya. Mandor tidak mengatakan apa-apa. Dia baru saja menghidupkan garis. Anda bukan siapa-siapa dari mereka."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

One night a guy hit his head on a welding gun. He went to his knees. He was bleeding like a pig, blood was oozing out. So I stopped the line for a second and ran over to help him. The foreman turned the line on again, he almost stepped on the guy. That's the first thing they always do. They didn't even call an ambulance. The guy walked to the medic department -- that's about half a mile -- he had about five stitches put in his head. The foreman didn't say anything. He just turned the line on. You're nothing to any of them.
