"I'll be fine," he says at the door. He's in pain. A not inconsiderable amount, but it's not that bad. Not really.
"Woman, I do not want to have to have to carry you. Get up."
She's bleeding badly. Part of him wants to go over there and help her staunch the wound, to help get it reasonable before he takes her to the hospital. This isn't a terrible idea, she might even accept it more readily. Of course, that means that she wins.
The other part of him wants to have her faint already so he can carry her into the car and get to the hospital. This is also fairly likely, though potentially more dangerous. Of course, that also means she wins.
She's winning in both cases. This is very irritating.
He gets into the car and starts it. Revs the engine.
