The owner of a medical hall from across the street, Lau Hao Tsui, comes over to discuss probable business collaboration since they share a common pool of customers and they settle between themselve how much they would each receive in commission. The people whom Mrs But engages to pretend as patients arrives but asks to be paid more. Just then, a real patient arrives. Mr But writes his prescription in code form and instructs the patient to purchase his medication from the medical hall after charging a hefty sum of consultation fee.
