I was climbing at my bouldering gym a few weeks back and watched someone fall and break their ankle.
The bone didn't break through the skin, so my first reaction when the EMT showed up with a stretcher was, "Oh, fuck, that's going to be expensive. I would have called a cab."
A version of that could be a scene in a black comedy.
Guy #1 falls off the wall and after he hits the ground he howls in pain.
Guy #2 runs over and says "Are you okay?"
"No. I'm not okay. My ankle!"
Guy #2 puts his hand on guy #1's ankle. "Does that hurt?"
"Fuck yes - it hurts!"
"But The bone didn't break though the skin. Do you want me to carry you to my car and give you a ride?"
"What? Bro, I mean... No..."
"Okay. But the ambulance will cost $2,000 for a one mile ride."
"That much?"
"Yeap." He holds up his phone. "Carry or call?"
"Fuck it. Carry me. Never been carried by a man before."
Guy #2 just similes.
