(Joey just came back from the office break room. )

Hope:

Hey, Joey—You look pale. What’s up?

Joey:

Oh, Hope… you will not believe what I just found in the office fridge.

Hope:

Uh-oh. Let me guess… The infamous three-week-old moldy sandwich that Michael left?

Joey:

Worse than that. It was Michael’s sandwich and we all know that.

Hope:

So, what’s that so appalling to you?

Joey:

Someone left a 保鮮盒 in the fridge. You know that, right?

Hope:

That Tupperware container?

Joey:

沒錯! That Tupperware container. 就是那個保鮮盒. It’s been sitting there for a month.

Somehow, someone shoved it into the corner and it just appeared again.

Hope:

And you don’t know who it belongs to?

Joey:

Nobody! 主人就直接神隱了!

Hope:

So, the owner totally ghosted it!

Joey:

Ghosted it?

Hope:

Right. The owner has completely abandoned it, disappeared, zero responsibility.

Joey:

Exactly. That’s what I want to say, “The owner has completely ghosted it or abandoned it!

Hope:

Perhaps, we can just toss it. No big deal.

Joey:

I tried to. But, you know, the lid was already鼓起來了。So, I thought there was a need to check what was going on.

Hope:

You mean the lid was bulging, and you wanted to do vibe check on it?!

Joey:

對，我得先感受一下那是甚麼情況。I had to do a vibe check on it because the lid was …

Hope:

Bulging!

Joey:

Yes, the lid was bulging.

Hope:

Ew. So?

Joey:

So, I opened it. YOLO, right? You only live once.

Hope:

You did not! So, what happened? Tell me all the details.

Joey:

It used to be chili. 就是辣椒醬。Now, it’s just like a … like a …living thing. 會動的新生命體! 上面來有五顏六色的絨毛。

Hope:

A what? Gross! A new pulsating life form with multicolored fuzz?!

Joey:

Yes. A new pulsating life form with multicolored fuzz. And you would never want to smell it! 那味道簡直就是臭味中的冠軍。Yikes.

Hope:

That’s so disgusting! You mean it was the king of all bad smells.

Joey:

不容置疑的!

Hope:

An Undisputed fact!

Joey:

Yes, an undisputed fact! 不容置疑的事實! So, I stepped back and thought about throwing the whole thing,

the container and all, into the trash can. 那根本就是生化武器, you know. 不誇張.

Hope:

No kidding. It sounds like a biohazard to me, too.

Joey:

Yes. It is like a biohazard. To even look at it, 你需要一顆很強壯的心臟!

Hope:

I bet! You need a strong stomach to look at it.

Joey:

Not a strong heart, but a strong stomach?

Hope:

Right. You need a strong stomach.

Joey:

I don’t know, but if the owner ever shows up, I am going to roast them for life! 就是要好好數落他們一頓。
