- Yeah.
[laughs.]
'sup, Lils? - Hey.
- This is a courtesy visit.
Hospital policy is to keep you guys isolated.
I-I can't sleep in here with my girl? - No, you can't.
This is a hospital.
You need to rest in your own rooms.
Give your immune systems a chance to fight this off.
- Ten minutes.
Okay, guys? All: Okay.
- Okay.
- That poor girl has no idea That her boyfriend is nailing her roommate.
- [whispering.]
I know.
Two-timing boyfriend, girls macking on girls.
It's like the real world: Cancun.
- Uck.
Dummies.
I'm so glad I am a grown-up.
- Oh, my God, really? You're gonna tell me you don't see it? - See what? That those three kids Are a mirror image of you, sands, and ladypants.
- Excuse me, I'm not macking on ladypants, So there goes your theory right there.
- Yeah, not yet.
- I'm not participating in this conversation.
- But you are participating in a love triangle.
- No, I was participating in a triangle, With Mike and Chris.
But it was dismantled.
So now I'm just, you know, I'm a dot.
I'm a dot.
A mature, responsible dot.
Gillian and Chris, they're a line.
They're a line, but that line Has nothing to do with my dot.
So, you see, no triangle here.
- Wow.
The fact that you got really defensive and weird Really convinced me.
- Good.
Good.
- What about can't help falling in love? Elvis is good, right? - He's fine.
- Fine means you don't care.
- Hi, um, we have to choose a song for our first dance.
Craig is being difficult.
- No, fine means fine.
Right? - Actually, I think it means stop talking.
How 'bout I got you, babe? - That is a great idea.
- How about no song? I shouldn't be dancing in public anyway.
It's just embarrassing For everyone.
- [coughs.]
- Uh, I understand that you fainted During your dress fitting.
- Took a header right off the platform.
I'm good, but the wang knockoff needs a few stitches.
- [chuckles.]
it's a medical pun.
- Plus, I have, like, And Craig here still hasn't gotten his suit fitted.
- Your--your blood work shows an elevated white cell count.
- Okay, doctor time.
- Now, the--the high fever, Coughs, aches, dehydration, This is all consistent with the flu.
But I think we're going to keep you here overnight, Just so we can keep an eye on you.
Okay, mystery solved.
I have to check on the florist.
Give me the binder.
- Uh-uh.
- Craig.
- Are you having abdominal pain? - Oh, no.
It's nothing.
I just am a little bloated from this new diet, so - Bloated? Honey, you've lost like 20 pounds.
- Why don't I just take a closer look? Excuse me.
Okay.
Let's see.
Well, we have a little fluid buildup.
Let's schedule an ultrasound.
I'd like to take a closer look.
- Okay, fine.
But you are going to the men's wearhouse, buddy.
No excuses.
[velcro rips.]
- Your pressure's dropped.
The infection's getting worse.
You're gonna have to go back on your medication, Harold.
- No, I don't.
If I want my hand to turn purple, Wither, and fall off, you can't stop me.
This is America.
- We can't just amputate a limb Just 'cause somebody doesn't want it.
- Oh, really? So if somebody sewed Hitler's head to your body, You'd be okay with that? - I really don't think that's the same thing.
- Answer the question, Hitler head.
- First of all, there's no such thing as a head transplant.
Second, if I'm really forced To continue taking this question seriously, I think Hitler's head's decomposed by now.
- Oh, but putting those two things aside, You'd be fine? - Let me ask you a question Harold.
Are you a child molester? - No.
- Well, there you go.
- I read the police reports.
- Harold Why would you do that? - Because I had to know, I Look, I'm just a regular guy, okay? I don't think about, like, energy or whatever.
But I know this hand is bad.
And I lie awake at night and I think about The things that it's done And the children that it hurt.
And I imagine that it's infecting me.
- Where's your wife in all this? What does she say? - She didn't have to say anything.
I could see it in her face.
We separated three weeks ago.
Do you understand now? - Yeah, I guess I do.
- Then help me.
- The one is sleeping with her roommate's boyfriend.
The roommate has no idea.
Campus sounds like an absolute petri dish.
And the way they carry on, It's a wonder how anyone makes it out of that university With a functioning immune system, right? - YeahIt's a real soap opera over there.
- So, uh, what about the girls? I heard that they were, you know - God, seriously? That's so predictable.
- I got a patient walking around With the hand of a child molester.
I'm allowed the image of a girl-on-girl kiss If only to cleanse my mental palate.
- Wow.
- Chris, we are not at the stage yet Where you can say slightly creepy things in public, [whispering.]
and I have to play along.
- Believe me, sweetie, it gets a lot creepier.
- [laughing.]
- Guess who! - Um - [laughing.]
- Simone! - Hi.
- What are you doing here? Ohh! - I was in the city with a couple of days to kill, So I figured I'd surprise you.
- Um, uh, this is Simone, everybody.
This is my sister.
- Oh, my God, you must be Veronica.
I am so happy to meet you.
- Oh, no, this is Gillian.
Dr.
Jelani.
That's Veronica right there.
- [whispering.]
triangle.
- Oh.
Oh, I am so sorry.
- No, no, no, no, no.
Hi! - Hi.
- I'm just on my way to go file some charts.
But it is so good to finally meet you.
- You too.
- Just, uh, here I go.
- Okay.
- Uh, we were about to grab some lunch.
You wanna join us? - Oh, I would love to.
I am starving.
- So the beaches in Biarritz are amazing.
It is the surfing capital of France.
Chris, you have got to go.
- I have got a job, so - Okay, do not let this whole Responsible doctor act fool you.
He did time, you know.
- Hmm? - Stole a car.
- I didn't steal a car.
I rode in a car that was stolen by her.
- Legally, it doesn't matter.
Because if I held up a liquor store And murdered a guy while you were waiting in that car, You would have gone down for murder too.
I was engaged to a D.
A.
For a minute - See, that's what she does.
She says that kind of stuff and it doesn't make sense, And then all of a sudden you're giving her 3,000 bucks, And she's gone.
- So, uh, Simone, What is your plan now that you're back? - I took cooking classes while I was in Paris.
- Really? I have always wanted to do that.
Ever since I saw Sabrina.
- Right? Oh, my God, anyway, I had a total vision one night When I was walking along the Seine.
I'm gonna open my own place.
Oh, come on.
Don't do that.
It's gonna be good.
All right, a pastry chef specializing in cupcakes.
- Cupcakes? Don't you think cupcakes are a little played out? - Not mine.
I've got a different take.
Anyway, guys, this lunch, it's on me.
- What? I just-- You just watched me pay at the cash register.
- Oh, right.
Thank you.
- Hey, Chris, can I grab you for a second? - It's great to meet you.
- So let's talk all about - I'm not gonna cut a guy's hand off.
- Why? What's it to you? - Because it's functional.
At least there's no reason to believe it wouldn't be If he would take his meds.
- It's like this thing that he never asked for.
And it's got all this weird baggage.
And it's ruining his life.
And he doesn't want it.
Can't you understand that? - Yes.
Yes, I can.
All right, screw it.
We'll cut off the sister.
The hand.
- All right, so this is gonna be a little cold.
- [coughing.]
- Sorry.
On the iliac bone, lower.
- SoHow many people are in your wedding party? - Oh, god, like seven.
Is that obnoxious? - No.
- Craig and I are from Arizona, And everybody's coming in next week.
- Great.
- Show me the ovaries.
[ultrasound echoing.]
- What color are your bridesmaid dresses? - Um, apple green.
- There.
- I'm having second thoughts, though.
I mean, it's a really springy color.
What? What is it? What are you looking at? - We're looking at Several growths here.
- Wow.
Is there any reason I shouldn't start freaking out right now? That means cancer, right? - We don't know that.
- We would have to do a biopsy to be sure.
- Okay, let me ask you something.
Have you ever seen growths like this And had it not be cancer? - I'm sorry.
- Um, m-maybe we should call Craig.
- So how was lunch? - Uh, great.
She's a lovely girl.
- Hey, Lily, you okay? - Uh, yeah, I'm fine.
Nothing to see here.
- Good God, they're mating.
- Don't you guys like, uh, knock? - What are you doing? You are both very, very sick.
- We're sorry.
It's just that we're stoned.
- You're stoned? How are you stoned? - Shh! Shh.
- Once I have already said it, You can't say "shh," Nathan.
The words already happened.
Like these words right now are happening.
- Hey, can we order falafel? - Um - Do you realize that your girlfriend Is right next door? - Quiet down, loud talker.
- We just figured If there is a chance that we could die, We might as well go out with a bang.
[chuckles.]
- Maybe you should think about Going out with a clear conscience, - Are these hospital cupcakes? - [laughing.]
- Well, they are in a hospital.
- Ooh, good one, stoner.
Where did those cupcakes come from? - [laughing.]
uh-oh.
- I know where they came from.
[heart monitor beeping.]
- Buyer's remorse, huh? - He has his reasons.
Scalpel.
- Dr.
Sands, stop.
Step away from the hand.
- Harold, this is Mr.
Hightower.
Mr.
Hightower represents Stipe Memorial.
- Oh, good.
Maybe he can explain Why it's so damn important to them That I keep this monstrous hand.
- You signed a contract To refrain from post-operative behaviors That would compromise their ability To track the efficacy of the procedure.
- What are you even talking about, you pompous blowhard? You sewed a child molester's hand on me! - Chief among these banned behaviors Is refusal to take your anti-rejection medication.
- Fine! Sue me! - Well, Harold, the thing is They say that they're gonna sue the hospital too If we cut it off.
- They can't do that, can they? - Our lawyers are looking into it.
I think--I think you're stuck with it.
Just for the time being.
- Well, they can't force me to take the drugs.
I'll go home, and I'll let the hand rot.
- You'll die if you do that.
- I don't care! - Orderly! - Just wait.
- The patient's made a clear suicidal threat.
You're obligated to place him under a psych hold.
- Psych hold? What's that mean, "psych hold"? - It means they won't let you go home.
- The results of your biopsy came back.
The cancer's late stage and aggressive.
- I don't understand.
How could we have missed this? - Ovarian cancer is very rare in women of Sharra's age.
It's easy to overlook.
- Does this mean I can't have children? - Probably so.
- I wanted kids.
We talked about that.
- What do I need a kid for? Everybody says they ruin your life, right? Look, we'll adopt.
It's okay.
Just need you to get better, okay? - Sharra, one of your tumors Is impinging on your aorta.
If it continues to grow, it could be deadly.
I want to have it removed.
- You mean surgery? - Well, the problem is, Your oxygen saturation is It's 89% because of the flu.
It's very low.
It raises the surgical risk To an unacceptably high level.
- Listen, I'm gonna do everything that I can To clear your lungs and get your pulse ox up to 100.
As of right now, you're my only patient.
- Take that stuff away.
- We still need a song.
- Craig, it's over! - Okay, you may want to try, like, Just a quarter of that and see how that goes for you.
- Hey.
Just what the hell do you think you're doing? - What are you talking about? You said I could hang out.
- Selling pot cupcakes in the hospital Was not part of the deal.
- Well, excuse me.
I am not selling anything.
These bad boys are samples.
- Are you insane? - What are you--since when are you against a little weed? - Those kids have meningitis.
This is no time for them to be getting high.
- Okay, what am I, a doctor? - No, which is exactly why you shouldn't be Giving them drugs in a hospital.
And not to mention it's illegal.
I can't believe I actually have to explain this to you.
- I was just trying to make people feel better.
Look, they're natural.
They come from the earth.
How much of your life comes from the earth? - I have a lot of degrees, Simone, But I have no idea how to answer that retarded question.
- Okay, wait, wait, wait.
- You need to go now.
Bye.
- Well, could you at least recommend a good bar? Because these things make me thirsty.
- What are you doing up here? - [sighs.]
I'm depressed.
I have a 26-year-old patient with late-stage ovarian cancer.
- Oh, that's rough.
- Yeah.
And she's lovely.
She's about to get married.
And she's my age.
We could We could be friends.
- Try and keep a little distance.
You'll be more help to her that way.
Also, if you don't cry every time you look at her.
- I know, I'm not crying.
I ju [sighs.]
I just came up here to clear my head for a second.
And find out the latest on the show.
So [chair squeaks.]
What's the latest? - WellThey were totally doing it in there.
- Nathan and Lily? My God.
Poor Samantha.
I feel so bad for her.
- Why? She's young.
She'll meet someone else.
Lily and Nathan are meant to be together.
They met first during the presidential campaign.
They totally bonded going door to door for Obama.
- Aww.
- See, but Lily hadn't broken up With her high school boyfriend yet.
So Nathan didn't think That he'd ever get a shot at her again.
So he ended up going out with Samantha, Who turned out to be Lily's roommate.
- No.
- [whispering.]
I know, right? - WellI'm on team Lily, 'cause, you know, she's you, right? - No, she's not.

God, she's such a pain in the ass.
- Chris, take it easy.
She's not even here.
Besides, you told me in iraq you thought she was fun.
- We were having an affair.
I didn't want to seem like an angry guy.
[siren.]
- Do you hear those-- you hear those sirens? that she's involved.
[chuckles.]
She's probably driving the fire truck.
It's not all her fault, though.
Our house wasn't the easiest place to grow up.
I think, uh I think, when I left for college, It was hard on her.
I wish I had been there.
- Well, you're here now.
Right? Anyway, I will see you later.
Hey.
- Hey.
- Do you mind if I take this one for a test drive? - That was nice, what you did.

- I started life right-handed.
Took me a long time to learn to write with this one.
- People can get used to anything, I guess.
- I relearned most things, But there was one thing I could never do.
It's kind of an overrated custom, don't you think? - Thank you.
- Hey, you think that wedding reception's still going on? I could eat an entire sheet of cake right now.
- Probably gone already.
That marching band looked ravenous.
- Yeah, probably.
It has been, like, five hours, And I can still smell that gunpowder on me.
- It's in your nose.
Gets on the hairs in there.
[running footsteps.]

Some things, you just can't live with, you know? - Yeah, I know.

This isn't something we want to rush.
Get them started on acyclovir, And check the pcr results.
- How did we even get this? - It gets in through your lungs, mucous membranes.
So you could have gotten it Through sharing a lipstick or a drink.
- Or by making out at that warehouse party On Saturday night.
[laughter.]
- Okay, this is us.
So, Lily, I have to ask: Besides Samantha, have you been intimate with anyone else? - Do I have to tell you that? - There's someone else that can be infected.

And the infection appears to be spreading.
Isn't this something that his transplant team Should look at? - Yeah, they're in Louisville.
Stipe Memorial.
I already put in a call.
- Don't call them.
- Well, we need to find out Why your body's rejecting the hand.
- I can shed some light on that.
I stopped taking the drugs.
- Why would you do that? - 'cause I don't want it.
- Am I missing something here? You're one of, like, Who have this.
You should be grateful.
- I was grateful to have a hand again.
I was so grateful, I wanted to thank the donor's family.
That's when I found out he had a record.

[laughs.]
'sup, Lils? - Hey.
- This is a courtesy visit.
Hospital policy is to keep you guys isolated.
I-I can't sleep in here with my girl? - No, you can't.
This is a hospital.
You need to rest in your own rooms.
Give your immune systems a chance to fight this off.
- Ten minutes.
Okay, guys? All: Okay.
- Okay.
- That poor girl has no idea That her boyfriend is nailing her roommate.
- [whispering.]
I know.
Two-timing boyfriend, girls macking on girls.
It's like the real world: Cancun.
- Uck.
Dummies.
I'm so glad I am a grown-up.
- Oh, my God, really? You're gonna tell me you don't see it? - See what? That those three kids Are a mirror image of you, sands, and ladypants.
- Excuse me, I'm not macking on ladypants, So there goes your theory right there.
- Yeah, not yet.
- I'm not participating in this conversation.
- But you are participating in a love triangle.
- No, I was participating in a triangle, With Mike and Chris.
But it was dismantled.
So now I'm just, you know, I'm a dot.
I'm a dot.
A mature, responsible dot.
Gillian and Chris, they're a line.
They're a line, but that line Has nothing to do with my dot.
So, you see, no triangle here.
- Wow.
The fact that you got really defensive and weird Really convinced me.
- Good.
Good.
- What about can't help falling in love? Elvis is good, right? - He's fine.
- Fine means you don't care.
- Hi, um, we have to choose a song for our first dance.
Craig is being difficult.
- No, fine means fine.
Right? - Actually, I think it means stop talking.
How 'bout I got you, babe? - That is a great idea.
- How about no song? I shouldn't be dancing in public anyway.
It's just embarrassing For everyone.
- [coughs.]
- Uh, I understand that you fainted During your dress fitting.
- Took a header right off the platform.
I'm good, but the wang knockoff needs a few stitches.
- [chuckles.]
it's a medical pun.
- Plus, I have, like, And Craig here still hasn't gotten his suit fitted.
- Your--your blood work shows an elevated white cell count.
- Okay, doctor time.
- Now, the--the high fever, Coughs, aches, dehydration, This is all consistent with the flu.
But I think we're going to keep you here overnight, Just so we can keep an eye on you.
Okay, mystery solved.
I have to check on the florist.
Give me the binder.
- Uh-uh.
- Craig.
- Are you having abdominal pain? - Oh, no.
It's nothing.
I just am a little bloated from this new diet, so - Bloated? Honey, you've lost like 20 pounds.
- Why don't I just take a closer look? Excuse me.
Okay.
Let's see.
Well, we have a little fluid buildup.
Let's schedule an ultrasound.
I'd like to take a closer look.
- Okay, fine.
But you are going to the men's wearhouse, buddy.
No excuses.
[velcro rips.]
- Your pressure's dropped.
The infection's getting worse.
You're gonna have to go back on your medication, Harold.
- No, I don't.
If I want my hand to turn purple, Wither, and fall off, you can't stop me.
This is America.
- We can't just amputate a limb Just 'cause somebody doesn't want it.
- Oh, really? So if somebody sewed Hitler's head to your body, You'd be okay with that? - I really don't think that's the same thing.
- Answer the question, Hitler head.
- First of all, there's no such thing as a head transplant.
Second, if I'm really forced To continue taking this question seriously, I think Hitler's head's decomposed by now.
- Oh, but putting those two things aside, You'd be fine? - Let me ask you a question Harold.
Are you a child molester? - No.
- Well, there you go.
- I read the police reports.
- Harold Why would you do that? - Because I had to know, I Look, I'm just a regular guy, okay? I don't think about, like, energy or whatever.
But I know this hand is bad.
And I lie awake at night and I think about The things that it's done And the children that it hurt.
And I imagine that it's infecting me.
- Where's your wife in all this? What does she say? - She didn't have to say anything.
I could see it in her face.
We separated three weeks ago.
Do you understand now? - Yeah, I guess I do.
- Then help me.
- The one is sleeping with her roommate's boyfriend.
The roommate has no idea.
Campus sounds like an absolute petri dish.
And the way they carry on, It's a wonder how anyone makes it out of that university With a functioning immune system, right? - YeahIt's a real soap opera over there.
- So, uh, what about the girls? I heard that they were, you know - God, seriously? That's so predictable.
- I got a patient walking around With the hand of a child molester.
I'm allowed the image of a girl-on-girl kiss If only to cleanse my mental palate.
- Wow.
- Chris, we are not at the stage yet Where you can say slightly creepy things in public, [whispering.]
and I have to play along.
- Believe me, sweetie, it gets a lot creepier.
- [laughing.]
- Guess who! - Um - [laughing.]
- Simone! - Hi.
- What are you doing here? Ohh! - I was in the city with a couple of days to kill, So I figured I'd surprise you.
- Um, uh, this is Simone, everybody.
This is my sister.
- Oh, my God, you must be Veronica.
I am so happy to meet you.
- Oh, no, this is Gillian.
Dr.
Jelani.

- [whispering.]
triangle.

- You too.
- Just, uh, here I go.
- Okay.
- Uh, we were about to grab some lunch.
You wanna join us? - Oh, I would love to.
I am starving.
- So the beaches in Biarritz are amazing.
It is the surfing capital of France.
Chris, you have got to go.
- I have got a job, so - Okay, do not let this whole Responsible doctor act fool you.
He did time, you know.
- Hmm? - Stole a car.
- I didn't steal a car.
I rode in a car that was stolen by her.
- Legally, it doesn't matter.
Because if I held up a liquor store And murdered a guy while you were waiting in that car, You would have gone down for murder too.
I was engaged to a D.
A.
For a minute - See, that's what she does.
She says that kind of stuff and it doesn't make sense, And then all of a sudden you're giving her 3,000 bucks, And she's gone.
- So, uh, Simone, What is your plan now that you're back? - I took cooking classes while I was in Paris.
- Really? I have always wanted to do that.
Ever since I saw Sabrina.
- Right? Oh, my God, anyway, I had a total vision one night When I was walking along the Seine.
I'm gonna open my own place.
Oh, come on.
Don't do that.
It's gonna be good.
All right, a pastry chef specializing in cupcakes.
- Cupcakes? Don't you think cupcakes are a little played out? - Not mine.
I've got a different take.
Anyway, guys, this lunch, it's on me.
- What? I just-- You just watched me pay at the cash register.
- Oh, right.
Thank you.
- Hey, Chris, can I grab you for a second? - It's great to meet you.
- So let's talk all about - I'm not gonna cut a guy's hand off.
- Why? What's it to you? - Because it's functional.
At least there's no reason to believe it wouldn't be If he would take his meds.
- It's like this thing that he never asked for.
And it's got all this weird baggage.
And it's ruining his life.
And he doesn't want it.
Can't you understand that? - Yes.
Yes, I can.
All right, screw it.
We'll cut off the sister.
The hand.
- All right, so this is gonna be a little cold.
- [coughing.]
- Sorry.
On the iliac bone, lower.
- SoHow many people are in your wedding party? - Oh, god, like seven.
Is that obnoxious? - No.
- Craig and I are from Arizona, And everybody's coming in next week.
- Great.
- Show me the ovaries.
[ultrasound echoing.]
- What color are your bridesmaid dresses? - Um, apple green.
- There.
- I'm having second thoughts, though.
I mean, it's a really springy color.
What? What is it? What are you looking at? - We're looking at Several growths here.
- Wow.
Is there any reason I shouldn't start freaking out right now? That means cancer, right? - We don't know that.
- We would have to do a biopsy to be sure.
- Okay, let me ask you something.
Have you ever seen growths like this And had it not be cancer? - I'm sorry.
- Um, m-maybe we should call Craig.
- So how was lunch? - Uh, great.
She's a lovely girl.
- Hey, Lily, you okay? - Uh, yeah, I'm fine.
Nothing to see here.
- Good God, they're mating.
- Don't you guys like, uh, knock? - What are you doing? You are both very, very sick.
- We're sorry.
It's just that we're stoned.
- You're stoned? How are you stoned? - Shh! Shh.
- Once I have already said it, You can't say "shh," Nathan.
The words already happened.
Like these words right now are happening.
- Hey, can we order falafel? - Um - Do you realize that your girlfriend Is right next door? - Quiet down, loud talker.
- We just figured If there is a chance that we could die, We might as well go out with a bang.
[chuckles.]
- Maybe you should think about Going out with a clear conscience, - Are these hospital cupcakes? - [laughing.]
- Well, they are in a hospital.
- Ooh, good one, stoner.
Where did those cupcakes come from? - [laughing.]
uh-oh.
- I know where they came from.
[heart monitor beeping.]
- Buyer's remorse, huh? - He has his reasons.
Scalpel.
- Dr.
Sands, stop.
Step away from the hand.
- Harold, this is Mr.
Hightower.
Mr.
Hightower represents Stipe Memorial.
- Oh, good.
Maybe he can explain Why it's so damn important to them That I keep this monstrous hand.
- You signed a contract To refrain from post-operative behaviors That would compromise their ability To track the efficacy of the procedure.
- What are you even talking about, you pompous blowhard? You sewed a child molester's hand on me! - Chief among these banned behaviors Is refusal to take your anti-rejection medication.
- Fine! Sue me! - Well, Harold, the thing is They say that they're gonna sue the hospital too If we cut it off.
- They can't do that, can they? - Our lawyers are looking into it.
I think--I think you're stuck with it.
Just for the time being.
- Well, they can't force me to take the drugs.
I'll go home, and I'll let the hand rot.
- You'll die if you do that.
- I don't care! - Orderly! - Just wait.
- The patient's made a clear suicidal threat.
You're obligated to place him under a psych hold.
- Psych hold? What's that mean, "psych hold"? - It means they won't let you go home.
- The results of your biopsy came back.
The cancer's late stage and aggressive.
- I don't understand.
How could we have missed this? - Ovarian cancer is very rare in women of Sharra's age.
It's easy to overlook.
- Does this mean I can't have children? - Probably so.
- I wanted kids.
We talked about that.
- What do I need a kid for? Everybody says they ruin your life, right? Look, we'll adopt.
It's okay.
Just need you to get better, okay? - Sharra, one of your tumors Is impinging on your aorta.
If it continues to grow, it could be deadly.
I want to have it removed.
- You mean surgery? - Well, the problem is, Your oxygen saturation is It's 89% because of the flu.
It's very low.
It raises the surgical risk To an unacceptably high level.
- Listen, I'm gonna do everything that I can To clear your lungs and get your pulse ox up to 100.
As of right now, you're my only patient.
- Take that stuff away.
- We still need a song.
- Craig, it's over! - Okay, you may want to try, like, Just a quarter of that and see how that goes for you.
- Hey.
Just what the hell do you think you're doing? - What are you talking about? You said I could hang out.
- Selling pot cupcakes in the hospital Was not part of the deal.
- Well, excuse me.
I am not selling anything.
These bad boys are samples.
- Are you insane? - What are you--since when are you against a little weed? - Those kids have meningitis.
This is no time for them to be getting high.
- Okay, what am I, a doctor? - No, which is exactly why you shouldn't be Giving them drugs in a hospital.
And not to mention it's illegal.
I can't believe I actually have to explain this to you.
- I was just trying to make people feel better.
Look, they're natural.
They come from the earth.
How much of your life comes from the earth? - I have a lot of degrees, Simone, But I have no idea how to answer that retarded question.
- Okay, wait, wait, wait.
- You need to go now.
Bye.
- Well, could you at least recommend a good bar? Because these things make me thirsty.
- What are you doing up here? - [sighs.]
I'm depressed.
I have a 26-year-old patient with late-stage ovarian cancer.
- Oh, that's rough.
- Yeah.
And she's lovely.
She's about to get married.
And she's my age.
We could We could be friends.
- Try and keep a little distance.
You'll be more help to her that way.
Also, if you don't cry every time you look at her.
- I know, I'm not crying.
I ju [sighs.]
I just came up here to clear my head for a second.
And find out the latest on the show.
So [chair squeaks.]
What's the latest? - WellThey were totally doing it in there.
- Nathan and Lily? My God.
Poor Samantha.
I feel so bad for her.
- Why? She's young.
She'll meet someone else.
Lily and Nathan are meant to be together.
They met first during the presidential campaign.
They totally bonded going door to door for Obama.
- Aww.
- See, but Lily hadn't broken up With her high school boyfriend yet.
So Nathan didn't think That he'd ever get a shot at her again.
So he ended up going out with Samantha, Who turned out to be Lily's roommate.
- No.
- [whispering.]
I know, right? - WellI'm on team Lily, 'cause, you know, she's you, right? - No, she's not.
I am an adult.
We are all adults.

Yeah, it'll come back.
- That's good, right? - Well, that depends on what she remembers.
- Let's get you back to your room, Lily.
- I screwed everything up.
I guess I thought that me and Nathan Were supposed to be together forever.
But that's not true.
I stirred up all this drama, And now samantha's really sick.
- Excuse me.
- Okay.
- Now, sharra, repeat after me.
From this day on, I choose you, Craig barrow, To be my husband.

All: I wanna know would you be my girl hey hey, baby I wanna know would you be my girl [piano jazz.]
- Hey.
Good cake.
- Is there any marijuana in it? - No, I banished my sister from the hospital.
- Ah.
- She would totally do that, though.
She'd make a pot cake, and then she'd dose it To some unsuspecting doctors while they're on duty.
God, she's such a pain in the ass.
- Chris, take it easy.
She's not even here.
Besides, you told me in iraq you thought she was fun.
- We were having an affair.
I didn't want to seem like an angry guy.
[siren.]
- Do you hear those-- you hear those sirens? that she's involved.
[chuckles.]
She's probably driving the fire truck.
It's not all her fault, though.
Our house wasn't the easiest place to grow up.
I think, uh I think, when I left for college, It was hard on her.
I wish I had been there.
- Well, you're here now.
Right? Anyway, I will see you later.
Hey.
- Hey.
- Do you mind if I take this one for a test drive? - That was nice, what you did.
- It was nothing.
Is she gonna die? - I hope not.
Oh, reverend.
Would you mind taking these beverages? Chloe, would you like to dance? - Oh! No, no.
I don't know how.

- I started life right-handed.
Took me a long time to learn to write with this one.
- People can get used to anything, I guess.
- I relearned most things, But there was one thing I could never do.
It's kind of an overrated custom, don't you think? - Thank you.
- Hey, you think that wedding reception's still going on? I could eat an entire sheet of cake right now.
- Probably gone already.
That marching band looked ravenous.
- Yeah, probably.
It has been, like, five hours, And I can still smell that gunpowder on me.
- It's in your nose.
Gets on the hairs in there.
[running footsteps.]
[clatter.]
- What's going on? - Some dude just locked himself in o.
R.
Three, And I guess he won't come out.
- Harold! Don't! Harold, don't! Please, stop him! [pounding on door.]
- Harold? [saw whirring.]

Crowd: hey hey, baby - Try to make me look good.
All: I wanna know would you be my girl hey hey, baby I wanna know would you be my girl [piano jazz.]
- Hey.
Good cake.
- Is there any marijuana in it? - No, I banished my sister from the hospital.
- Ah.
- She would totally do that, though.
She'd make a pot cake, and then she'd dose it To some unsuspecting doctors while they're on duty.
God, she's such a pain in the ass.
- Chris, take it easy.
She's not even here.
Besides, you told me in iraq you thought she was fun.
- We were having an affair.
I didn't want to seem like an angry guy.
[siren.]
- Do you hear those-- you hear those sirens? that she's involved.
[chuckles.]
She's probably driving the fire truck.
It's not all her fault, though.
Our house wasn't the easiest place to grow up.
I think, uh I think, when I left for college, It was hard on her.
I wish I had been there.
- Well, you're here now.
Right? Anyway, I will see you later.
Hey.
- Hey.
- Do you mind if I take this one for a test drive? - That was nice, what you did.
- It was nothing.
Is she gonna die? - I hope not.
Oh, reverend.
Would you mind taking these beverages? Chloe, would you like to dance? - Oh! No, no.
I don't know how.
- Well, chloe, I'm so good that you don't have to know how.
Besides, it's a wedding.
We should dance.
- why, oh, why - Oh! Whoo! [laughing and squealing.]
- can I keep you close to me - Oh! [cheers and applause.]
- I started life right-handed.
Took me a long time to learn to write with this one.
- People can get used to anything, I guess.
- I relearned most things, But there was one thing I could never do.
It's kind of an overrated custom, don't you think? - Thank you.
- Hey, you think that wedding reception's still going on? I could eat an entire sheet of cake right now.
- Probably gone already.
That marching band looked ravenous.
- Yeah, probably.
It has been, like, five hours, And I can still smell that gunpowder on me.
- It's in your nose.
Gets on the hairs in there.
[running footsteps.]
[clatter.]
- What's going on? - Some dude just locked himself in o.
R.
Three, And I guess he won't come out.
- Harold! Don't! Harold, don't! Please, stop him! [pounding on door.]
- Harold? [saw whirring.]
Harold! Put it down.
[saw whirring.]
- Harold, stop it! - Uhhhh! - Harold! - Aahhh! - How you feeling? - It hurts.
[swallows.]
Even with the morphine, I can tell it's gonna be a bitch.
- Haircuts and surgery.
Things we don't do to ourselves.
- We'll get through it.
- I had to do it, you know.
- You could have bled out.
- I thought I could be okay with it, but I couldn't.
Some things, you just can't live with, you know? - Yeah, I know.
[loud music playing.]
- Anyway, I've been mugged before, And I can take care of myself.
