The Resident (2018) s04e10 Episode Script

1
Previously on The Resident
I set up marriages between
Indian Americans in Atlanta.
No ring, a faint look of desperation.
You're available.
Patients need to be honest
with themselves
about their prognosis.
ROSE: Based on what I saw this morning,
you will never likely operate again,
but you're honest with
yourself about that, right?
- Just give me another chance.
- KIT: I'm willing to watch
and see how you do,
but I see no place for you at Chastain.
Visa expires next week.
If I go to Nigeria on my own accord,
I could apply to return in the future.
I'm going back to Nigeria.
I'm coming with you.
(PHONE RINGING)
- Good morning.
- Hey.
Are we feeling nostalgic yet?
Nostalgia requires a yearning
for what's already passed.
I'm looking forward to what's to come.
Well, our Nigerian adventure
begins tonight.
11:00 flight.
Mm-hmm. And 12 and
a half hours in the air.
Oh, thank God for neck pillows.
Yeah, that would be me.
I'm your neck pillow.
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah.
Yes, you are.
I'll see you at Chastain.
One last shift and our adventure awaits.
YEE: Man, AJ, you sure
got a big collection of
stuff.
Hey, Dad,
make sure you check in
on my vinyl collection
every once in a while.
They'll be in the storage locker.
What do you want me to
do, talk to your records?
- Make sure they're not lonely?
- (LAUGHS)
Hey, Ma, you all right over there?
I'm fine.
Excuse me a moment.
(EXHALES)
You were so excited for sleepaway camp.
It's all you talked about.
But then you-you spent those two weeks
asking me to come back and pick you up.
(CHUCKLES)
You wrote me every single day.
Yeah.
I was a mama's boy.
And I still am, you know.
I love her, Mom.
That doesn't mean I don't love you.
You know I do. More than anything.
But I'm going.
I really want to.
Weren't you here yesterday?
10,000 hours of practice is
a minimum for greatness.
Hmm.
I'm all in for greatness.
I'm Billie Sutton, by the way.
Fifth-year neurosurgery resident.
- I
- Let emotional irregularity
ruin your career.
I know who you are.
And you're the legendary Barrett Cain.
You could remove a meningioma
in under ten minutes
with no complications.
Or at least you could
before the accident.
Believe it or not, I'm a fan.
(WHISPERS): Damn it.
(SIGHS)
Good morning, Dr. Cain.
How's your hand today?
Did you complete the vessel anastomosis?
Yes. Yes, I did. And the hand
is (EXHALES)
It's perfect.
You've successfully completed
all your prerequisites.
Should I put in a request
to get you back on
the surgical schedule?
Absolutely. I'm ready.
EMT: 16-year-old female. Lisa McBride.
Traumatic neck injury
following a diving accident.
GCS 15. Vitals stable.
Okay, let's get her to Trauma Bay Nine.
Lifeguard nearly drowns.
Add that to my emergency room bingo.
It's tradition for new employees
to jump off the ten-meter diving board.
So you jumped?
Kind of. I splat.
DEVON: Okay, on three.
One, two, three.
I just got hired.
My boss is so mad. I
bet you she fires me.
Let's not worry about all that
until we make sure you're okay.
I just really need this job.
College applications are expensive.
IRVING: BP's dropping. 70/40.
- Spinal shock?
- Could be.
All right, bolus two
liters of normal saline.
- Get atropine on standby, please.
- What's going on?
- Am I dying?
- CONRAD: No.
Sometimes an injury like
this can cause problems
- with your blood pressure and heart rate.
- My legs and arms
they're all tingly.
- Wiggle your toes.
- I
- (BREATHING HEAVILY)
- Wiggle your toes.
Squeeze my fingers.
You feel that?
A little. I don't know.
Maybe not. What does that mean?
Let's get you to CT and find out.
Can someone please call my mom?
Okay, have them prep an OR,
then call her parents and tell them
that their daughter might need surgery.
I was surprised to see your name
back on my surgical board.
- Your board?
- My board.
My hospital. My rules.
Which means you don't touch
a scalpel until I've cleared you.
So then clear me.
I've done everything. Recovery. PT.
Sim lab practice.
If you want to return to the OR,
you will do so under my supervision.
I will be standing with you
for your first surgery back.
I don't need a babysitter.
And I don't need a neurosurgeon
with authority issues.
I look forward to operating
with you, Dr. Voss.
Going to miss you, Dr. Austin.
You know, we never got that
drink we talked about getting.
And we never played racquetball.
Maybe I'll visit you.
We'll play a match in Lagos.
Well, you're welcome anytime, Chu.
Right angle.
I made you a going-away present.
Kristy.
- (CHUCKLES)
- It's an OR cap.
I made it myself.
These are the colors
from the Nigerian flag.
We've had some times together,
huh? (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Indeed we have.
I'm gonna miss them.
I'm gonna miss you guys, too.
Our leaping lifeguard
is headed to the OR
for spinal decompression.
(SIGHS) Poor kid.
Has anyone seen Mina?
How's she holding up?
- (ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
- She may be Spock,
but I'm sure she's just as
devastated as we all are.
- Oh. Speak of the devil.
- MINA: Good.
You're all here.
I have a few borrowed items to return.
A phone charger you forgot at my
Halloween party three years ago.
The blouse you gave me
barhopping downtown.
- Mm.
- Pre-COVID.
And your headphones. Don't remember
when I borrowed these.
You didn't borrow them. You took them.
But it doesn't matter. You keep 'em.
You know, I was thinking
about the time we first met.
Do you remember? I was just finishing up
- with that
- No, no, no, no. Don't do that.
I'm not dead.
People move away all the time.
It's not a Hallmark moment.
No need to get sentimental.
Well, at least we know
that Mina is still Mina.
How am I gonna say goodbye to her?
You'll find a way.
I need to see my daughter Lisa.
Sh-She's a lifeguard.
- Mrs. McBride?
- Yes.
Was your daughter in a diving accident?
Yes, that's her. Is she okay?
Lisa's being prepped for surgery.
You can see her as soon
as she gets out of the OR.
I know how hard this is.
You would do anything for your daughter.
Anything. But right now
you have to let the
surgeons do their work.
She's in the best of hands.
Okay.
Just remember, you're still
in a probationary period.
Follow the rules and mind your manners.
- Consider my manners 100% minded.
- Good.
One wrong move and this poor
girl will be a quadriplegic.
Which is why I'm here
to make sure that doesn't happen.
Dr. Cain is the lead surgeon?
Risen from the dead, it would appear.
Is that a problem?
I'm not sure how fond he is of me.
But the new Billie could learn from him,
so, no, no problem at all.
Dr. Cain,
shall we begin?
10 blade to me.
- Hey, Ma, how you feeling?
- Just a bit of a headache.
She hit the corner of the kitchen sink.
You've been drinking too much coffee
and not enough water. I
think she's dehydrated.
Well, that would explain the dizziness.
We'll give you some IV fluids.
Did you lose consciousness?
No. It's just
my friend Charlene,
she got dizzy, didn't
see a doctor and
turns out she was having a stroke.
Now she walks with a cane.
You're not having a stroke, Mom.
CONRAD: Normal BP and heart rate.
EKG doesn't show anything of concern.
Um, exam was normal.
We're running her bloodwork
now and waiting on a head CT.
S-Scuse me while I
confer with Dr. Hawkins.
- Well, thanks for checking up on her.
- Oh, of course.
I was in surgery when they called.
Whatever you need, man. I'm here.
Listen, she can be a
bit of a hypochondriac.
All right? She came from Maui convinced
that she had dengue fever.
It was allergies.
And it's only gotten worse
ever since I told her
I was going to Nigeria.
You know?
Maybe she's just having a hard
time processing her feelings.
To be honest, we all are.
I want to keep her in the ER for a bit,
make sure she's feeling okay.
And, selfishly, I just
like talking to her.
She has some enlightening
stories about your childhood.
Hey. You keep those to yourself.
(CONRAD LAUGHS)
We'll get you on that plane
with a clear conscience.
- Appreciate it.
- (SIGHS)
(PHONE CHIMES)
- What's up?
- Looks like I got
my first potential date
from my Indian matchmaker.
Ooh. Anyone interesting?
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, wait. Give me that.
Dr. Pravesh?
Your sickle cell patient Rose
Williams's labs came back.
Everything looks fine.
Okay. Cool. Doctor, thank you.
Is something wrong?
Dr. Devi, have you ever used
- a match ?
- Mr. Benson in room 5202
needs an EKG. Can you
handle that, please?
- Sure.
- Thank you.
You are not being helpful.
(PHONE WHOOSHES)
Rose.
That was a cryptic message
telling me to come in.
- Is something wrong?
- Good news, actually.
Your counts are excellent,
and you could never tell
that you had a devastating
sickle cell crisis last month.
- (LAUGHS)
- Oh, that's a relief.
Honestly, I feel healthier and happier
than I have felt in
a long time, but, um
admitting that sends
a wave of dread over me
because I know it's
temporary, and I know
that I'll never escape that,
not for the rest of my life.
Here.
Well what if I told you
that might not be true?
(SIGHS) We've been through this.
Doctors always underestimate
my pain, but it is very, very real.
I know. I know.
But I've been doing some research.
There have been some
developments in gene therapy.
Recent clinical trials
with good outcomes.
There might be a cure, Rose.
I've opened the soft tissue.
Cerebellar retractor.
Maybe less force.
You don't want to make
your closure harder.
Thank you for the advice, Dr. Voss.
Bovie?
(SNAPS FINGERS)
Elevating the paraspinal musculature
off of the periosteal plane.
Sweeping it to the side.
And beautiful.
Dr. Voss? You're needed in the ER.
And you're thinking, I can
waste the rest of my day
babysitting a perfectly capable surgeon,
or I should move on to an
operation where I'd actually
be useful.
I'm fine with either choice.
It's your hospital, your rules.
You seem to have made a
miraculous recovery, Dr. Cain.
Well done.
Dr. Sutton, learn all
you can from this man.
It's good to have you back, Barrett.
How is your mother?
She's fine.
She's likely somatizing her anxiety.
Conrad's doing a workup.
All of this has to be stressful for you.
Well, for everybody.
Turns out you and I are the
Beyoncé and Jay-Z of Chastain.
(LAUGHS) I will stand for nothing less.
You know, I never realized
how us leaving would
have such an impact.
Oh, yeah, the hugging, kissing, crying.
(LAUGHING): Oh, it's nauseating.
Do you regret this?
What?
Moving to Nigeria with me?
Listen to me.
(MINA CHUCKLES)
I regret nothing.
(PHONE CHIMES)
Okay, that's my mom.
Listen, we are good.
Okay.
Anything we need to be worried about?
Based on the test results,
everything looks completely normal.
You see? Everything's gonna be fine.
I am so embarrassed.
Making such a fuss about nothing.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
No, it's more than that.
This is supposed to be AJ's last day.
And here I came and
made it all about me.
People often don't realize
how powerful the
mind-body connection is.
Sometimes, when your heart
breaks, your body does, too.
It's good you came in.
It's important to take care
of yourself, even when things are hard.
(DOOR OPENS)
Especially when things are hard.
Thank you.
Hey. Everything okay?
CONRAD: Labs and CT are normal.
Just to be safe, I'm gonna
set up an appointment
with her primary care physician.
- She'll go in the next couple days.
- Yes.
So she doesn't have to be admitted?
There is no specific
medical reason to admit her.
Please, AJ, I want to go home.
You're sure, Mom?
I'm sure.
(MONITOR BEEPING)
You have to drill down the facet.
Her hyperflexion injury
caused the bones to shift.
We have to shave them down.
That's arterial blood. Vertebral artery.
The bone was tamponading the bleed.
Give me suction. Turn it up. Now.
You'll have to remove bone to
expose and repair the artery.
I know that. Drill.
Dr. Cain?
I got it. Hold on.
Dr. Cain, I don't think you do.
- Let me take over the surgery.
- Give me a second.
If we wait, you won't have to worry
about her walking again.
She'll be brain dead.
- Call Dr. Voss.
- Wait!
Okay, take over.
Suction here. Hold it stable.
Drilling above and below
to expose the artery.
Two arterial ligation clamps to me now.
Hey, can you cover for me in the ER?
- For, like, an hour.
- Yeah, no problem.
Does this have anything to do
with your date with Dr. Devi?
(LAUGHS) Mina told me.
Of course she did.
No. So I have a meeting.
Remember Rose, our sickle cell patient?
Of course. She's been
through hell and back.
Well, I think I may have
found her a clinical trial
using gene therapy.
The founder of one of these
companies running the trial
he's an old college buddy of
mine, and he wrote this paper
about how he's revolutionizing
sickle cell treatment,
potentially curing it.
Well, we both know he'll be incentivized
to publish only the good outcomes
and conveniently leave out the bad.
Like most pharma companies.
Just keep an eye on that.
Look, you know I'm not
going to get Rose involved
in anything that I don't 100%
believe in. You know that.
Of course I do. I trust you.
I just don't trust Big Pharma.
We both love Rose.
Just I want this to work out for her.
Yeah. Me, too.
See you.
(LAUGHS) Would you stop following me?
- I work here, too.
- Yes, on another floor.
Yet every time I turn
around, there you are.
Well, maybe I want to
spend every last second
that I can with you.
Okay, if you're expecting me
to have some emotional breakdown
tears, wailing, and so on
it's not gonna happen.
How about you just
admit that you love us
- and you're gonna miss us?
- I do love you, and I will miss you.
You don't look like it.
What do you mean?
This is my "I love you" face.
You're the worst.
Okay, fine. You know what?
Go back to Nigeria.
See if I care. But I will
get the goodbye I want.
You can count on it.
Phillip, dude, you're still driving
that nasty beater from college,
and this is what your lab looks like?
That car treats me well, man.
We had some good times
rolling around Harvard
Square in that car.
(CHUCKLES) No comment.
(LAUGHS) Look, the way I see it,
you got to put your money into
something that can do some good.
And right now that's here.
I'm proud of you, man.
I always knew you'd be a
great hematologist, but
What? You didn't think I would
cure sickle cell anemia?
Have you?
We've completed our
gene therapy protocol
in a total of five patients.
All are currently leading normal lives.
- No more symptoms, no pain.
- Did you get a chance
to look at my patient's
medical chart that I sent you?
Yes. Keep in mind it doesn't
normally happen this fast.
But we did just have somebody drop out,
and, I mean, Rose is
a perfect candidate.
That said, I mean, these
are uncharted waters.
There is a chance slight
that a patient could come out worse.
They could die.
A lot of hospitals won't
risk hosting our trials.
But you think Chastain should?
Not think. Need.
I know it's a lot to ask.
But if I can convince your CEO
to become a site in this trial,
we would be one step closer
to eradicating sickle cell from Atlanta.
Look, I can probably
get you in the room,
but Kit Voss she's
a different kind of CEO.
If she even suspects, Phillip,
that this is about money or profit
Just-just give me a chance, okay?
I will nail it, and then
you and me, Pravesh,
we'll start changing the world.
Ah. (CLEARS THROAT)
We've taken enough time
on your last day, AJ.
- You don't have to do this.
- Of course I don't have to, Ma.
I want to. You know,
today made me realize
that I've not spent enough quality time
- with you and Dad before I left.
- Oh.
I just want to make sure
you get back, settled safely.
We won't complain about
more time now, will we?
(LAUGHS)
I want to apologize for all day, really.
Mom, you have nothing to apologize for.
Yes, I do.
Ever since you told us
you were leaving, AJ,
all I've thought about is myself.
About my own distress.
About how much I'll miss you.
But I should be happy for you,
about the adventures you'll be having
with your darling Mina at your side.
Can you forgive your mother
for her selfishness?
- Of course, Ma.
- (CHUCKLES)
- (COUGHING)
- You okay, babe?
Mm-mm. (COUGHING)
Take a deep breath.
(COUGHS)
Mom, we need to get
you back to Chastain.
(COUGHING)
(TAKES DEEP BREATH)
You can say the words out loud.
My mother has a tumor in her lung.
AJ, I'm-I'm so sorry.
How could I have not seen this?
CONRAD: When she came into the ER,
the exams and bloodwork we
did would not have caught this,
but now we know.
So we take this one step at a time
and we focus on the
circumstances in front of us.
I'll do the surgery myself.
You know that's not possible.
It's a conflict of interest.
We do the surgery and the
biopsy at the same time.
She'll need a segmentectomy
to remove the growth fully
and maybe a lobectomy.
She needs the best
hands we got, Hawkins.
So let me do it.
Thank you.
Now I have to go tell her.
I don't understand.
A tumor in my lung?
I've never smoked.
And it could be benign,
just a harmless growth,
but we don't know.
And we can't diagnose
it from imaging alone,
so we need to do a
biopsy just to be sure.
- You gonna do it now?
- Yeah, you know, the sooner, the better.
Now, the good news is,
as far as we can tell,
we caught it early.
It looks localized.
AJ.
I need to know
what are my chances?
Mom, biopsy first.
Mina will do it. She
is the absolute best.
So let's get our facts straight,
and then we'll talk about possibilities.
It's going to be okay.
- We are in this together.
- (WHIMPERS)
(SOBBING)
Look, this is not about the money.
And I know when somebody says that,
it is always about the money.
Then what is this about, Mr. Bondman?
You're looking at me,
and you're thinking,
"What is this white guy
from Harvard doing,
trying to cure a predominantly
African American disease?"
Well, I'll be honest with you,
it was a calculated decision.
The technology is here
CRISPR, gene therapy.
There is a badly underserved population.
And if Bio South can solve this problem,
we would have the momentum
and the money to solve others.
Bio South, Phillip Bondman
would become synonymous
with curing people.
I appreciate the honesty.
But does this give Rose
a fighting chance
- at battling her disease?
- Yes, it does.
And not just Rose.
We're a public hospital
now, so we're serving
large sickle cell populations
that can really benefit
from Phillip's work here.
I want a cure, of course.
And Rose deserves nothing less.
But getting into bed with Big Pharma
With all due respect, Bio
South is not Big Pharma.
We couldn't be further from it.
We are small, we're scrappy
and we want to do good.
BELL: So, what did you say?
That I'd consider it.
In a perfect world, there wouldn't be
a financial incentive
to make better medicine.
Yeah, but that's not
the world we live in,
so what harm is there in
giving the guy a chance?
The harm is, history is littered
with examples of dubious
advancements in science
coming at the cost of
a vulnerable population.
The Tuskegee syphilis
experiment, Henrietta Lacks
Yeah, yeah, but in this case,
the patients have the most to gain.
You know, a-a a cure
for an ancient disease
how amazing would that be?
It could also be an opportunity to show
that this is a new Chastain.
One that will go to the ends
of the earth for its patients.
It sounds to me like you've
already made your decision.
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
AJ, if something happens to me, I
Now, don't talk like that, Ma.
This is not our last conversation.
All right? No one is dying here.
I know, AJ.
But I need you to hear one thing.
Please, son, whatever happens to me
I want you to go with Mina.
Be happy.
Live your life. This is important.
You deserve joy.
Thank you, Ma.
Hey, Leela?
- Hey.
- Yes, Dr. Pravesh?
Um
this is gonna sound weird,
but I am working with a
matchmaker, and on her site,
- you-you
- Oh, God.
You saw my photo?
Yeah.
Is that what you were
looking at with Mina earlier?
- (LAUGHS)
- Oh, that's that's embarrassing.
(CHUCKLES) Um, I never go on that thing.
My dad wants me to have
an arranged marriage,
like my parents did,
so I just humor him,
but any time that matchmaker
offers anybody up,
I just say, "No way".
- Mm.
- I don't have time for it, and it's just it's
Oh, wait. Are you
- you looking to get married?
- No, no.
- (LAUGHS)
- No, no. Uh, same as you.
My mom she just keeps
pushing and pushing, you know.
- Indian parents, right?
- Yeah.
Yeah.
- Okay. (LAUGHS)
- Okay.
Later, Dr. Pravesh.
- See you.
- Okay.
There's the mass.
Let's biopsy. Forceps.
Oh, you've come a long way since
our first operation together.
- Ah, seriously, you, too?
- (LAUGHS)
You know, I know I was
never your mentor
more like your tormentor
so it's not my place
to be proud, but I am.
I'm gonna miss working with you.
Who else would have
shown me what not to do?
(LAUGHS)
Let's get that to the lab.
See what we're dealing with.
Can you move your toes for me?
I can't thank you enough.
Well, you have Dr. Sutton here to thank.
She's the one who saved Lisa's life.
Just don't go falling off
any more diving boards.
- (LAUGHS)
- I can't believe I was so stupid.
Ah, don't beat yourself up. We
all do stupid stuff at your age.
(LAUGHS)
But the good news is,
they removed the bone fragments
that were compressing your spine.
With some time and aggressive therapy,
you'll be good as new.
That is wonderful news.
And your boss dropped this off.
It's the first paycheck?
First and last. Um, I got fired.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I thought I knew what this
summer was going to look like.
Make some money, get a tan,
sneak in a couple of
night swims at closing.
Probably sounds silly.
BILLIE: Take it from me.
Even the best laid plans fall apart.
Things change.
You lose a job.
But the people that love
you stick by your side.
They do.
And that's a beautiful thing.
I can't even believe it.
KIT: You'll start the
trial next week. It's fast.
Most people have to wait months,
but there's an opening.
Yeah, and it's gonna be a
long, hard road, and nothing
- is guaranteed, Rose.
- But I have a chance?
Oh, you have more than just a chance.
You have a damn good chance.
Barrett?
KIT: Go.
- We'll be in touch.
- Thank you so much.
You'll never guess what just happened.
I've been accepted into a
gene therapy clinical trial.
That could work.
Chances are slim,
but that could work.
This is a big deal.
Aren't you happy for me?
Yes, of course I'm happy for you, Rose.
I'm happy for you.
Wait. (SIGHS)
I don't know what's going on with you,
but if there's a light
at the end of my tunnel,
there's a light at
the end of yours, too.
And what if there is no light?
What if I just have to face the facts?
Own up to the truth that
I'm not who I once was?
You're more than just a surgeon.
Am I?
Look, I'm gonna go to Waylon's
and eat my weight in
pretzels and beer cheese.
There's a big world outside of the OR.
If you want to see it,
that's where I'll be.
I'd like that.
- (MINA SIGHS DEEPLY)
- Pleural studding,
too small to have been
detected on imaging.
Well, whatever it is,
it's already spread.
(SIGHS) It's much worse than we hoped.
It's adenocarcinoma.
I'm so sorry, Mina.
(CLICKS TONGUE)
(SIGHS)
Well, we can't cut all of this out.
Um, let's close up.
No reason to put her through
the rest of this surgery.
The biopsy confirmed it.
Your mother has stage IV lung cancer.
If she's a candidate for target therapy,
Carol will have years.
Many years.
You and I both know the
average life expectancy
is two years.
She's not average.
She's resilient, strong.
I know that because she raised you.
If anyone could beat this, it's Carol.
Your mother needs you.
In Atlanta, by her side.
You cannot come to Nigeria with me.
(SNIFFLES)
I know.
(EXHALES) I wish things
didn't have to be this way.
I wish I didn't have to leave Chastain.
Leave you.
I will do anything
to be with you through this.
Maybe one day I could come back.
(INHALES)
Yeah. (SNIFFLES)
Maybe.
("ARE YOU WITH ME" BY NILU PLAYING)
Wake up
(SHUDDERS)
Stay with me
Through the flood
(CRYING)
And
Through the fear
Right now I need you here
I need you to stay strong
To remind me where I came from
And where I belong
So wake up
Hi. (SHUDDERS) Can I get
a taxi to Atlanta Hartsfield?
Mm, right away.
- I'm at Chas
- Hey, Mina. Nic's been looking for you.
I think she wants to say goodbye.
She's upstairs in the café.
I never
You okay?
Actually had you
You're not in the dark
Far from the light
And I need to know now
Are you
STAFF: Surprise!
(WHOOPING, LAUGHTER)
Are you out?
Oh, are you in or are you out?
Are you in
Or are you out?
Mina, darling, are you all right?
(BREATHLESS): I'm-I'm fine.
Are you with me?
She just needs a moment.
And maybe a drink?
- Yes, please.
- Yeah, mm-hmm.
(WHISPERS): Here you go.
How are we ever going to replace you?
And AJ. Where is he?
Um (SNIFFLES)
(STAMMERS)
He got caught up elsewhere.
IRVING: Hey, I know what
will cheer you up, presents!
- (CHUCKLING)
- I hate presents.
No, no, no, no, no. No,
no, you'll like these.
You'll like these. They're
a list of online games
you can play with your friends.
You know, in other words, us.
But long-distance. This
way you can still join us.
And maybe AJ will rock charades.
(CHUCKLES)
Thank you. Truly.
This means more to me
than you'll ever know.
Ah, there's-there's
one more from all of us.
Mina Okafor's infamous
one-star Yelp review!
(LAUGHTER, CHEERING)
"Steer clear of Dr. Okafor.
She told me my uterus sucked".
(LAUGHTER)
- It did suck.
- (LAUGHTER)
- Ah, we love you.
- (EXHALES)
We don't want you to forget us.
I will never forget you.
(CLINKING)
- Speech!
- (CHUCKLING)
MINA: Okay. (EXHALES)
I'm not gonna stand here and
give some speech about
how much you all mean to me
and how much I'll miss you,
because that's not who I am.
And based on the shroud of secrecy
surrounding this party
(SUCKS AIR THROUGH TEETH)
you all know that.
You know exactly who I am,
and yet you still care about me.
I haven't had a lot
of those sorts of folks
in my life before.
(GULPS)
(INHALES)
I don't always say this
actually, I've never said it
but
you're my family.
And I love you.
I always will.
I can see the change
Come what may, I won't regret today
I can see the change
Feel the pace of everything
I need you to do me a favor.
Keep an eye on AJ for me.
(EXHALES)
He's not going with you?
His mother.
Yeah.
He has to be here for her.
Through the treatment.
It's the right thing to do.
Yeah.
I'm so sorry, Mina.
I know how much you wanted him there.
When he's falling apart,
call me.
I'm not disappearing for good.
I want to be there for him.
We'll take care of him. I promise.
Of everyone
I'll miss you the most.
Not half as much as I'm gonna miss you.
(CHUCKLES)
(SIGHS)
You are my sister.
And you are mine.
No, it's not for me
Anymore
No, it's not
- Now, that's your "I love you" face.
- (LAUGHS)
(LAUGHING)
Anymore
No, it's not for me
- Anymore
- (SNIFFLES)
Anymore
(LAUGHING)
Standing out
Standing out
So, it's gonna be a, uh
long 12 hours and 27 minutes.
Like a fool does
No neck pillow this time.
Doesn't mean I'll adjust
Standing out
I love you, Mina Okafor.
Standing out
I love you, too.
Like I need you now
Like a fool does
Like a fool does
Let the world adjust
You know, you always said
we'd be doomed from the start.
(SNIFFLES)
I'm always right.
This is
this is not over.
Not yet.
I can see the change
Come what may, I won't regret today
- (ENGINE STARTS)
- I am what remains
Standing here in spite of everything
No, it's not
For me
Anymore
No, it's not for me
Anymore
No, it's not
For me
Anymore
Anymore.
