Playing House (2014) s03e05 Episode Script

You Wanna Roll With This?

I found it.
What about this tweed jammer for the doctor's appointment? - Very Jackie O? - It's too formal.
You know, she had cancer.
I Googled it last night.
Stop Googling.
I'm gonna put a parent lock on your computer.
Why don't you put a lock on this? Hey, does this make you wanna cure my cancer? Go back in there, Arsenio Hall.
Hold on then a second.
Does this change things? If I were just to throw this on casually? Who throws on a beret casually? - Okay.
- Hey, why are we obsessing - about what we're gonna wear? - If she likes me, maybe she's gonna work harder to get the cancer out of me.
- That's not how it works.
- It is how it works.
Okay, this oncologist is no joke.
She was on "Oprah.
" - She was on "Oprah"? - That's right.
This is Dr.
Leslie Rollins.
She is legit the best of the best.
Well, that puts even more pressure on what I'm gonna wear.
You know what, let's stop by T.
J.
Maxx, - get a couple more options, okay? - Hey, hey, hey Maggie, I need an Oprah-level blazer.
All I've got in here is, like, Steve Harvey at best, - maybe Ricki Lake.
- Come here.
I don't know why you don't understand.
I do understand.
Are we losing our mind a little bit? - Little bit.
- Listen to me.
- We got this.
- Are you sure? I don't know if you've seen, uh, my binder.
What? What is that? I made you a little binder, baby girl.
"Cancer, you wanna roll with this?" [chuckles.]
When did you go to Paper Source? Last night while you were sleeping.
Don't worry about it.
There's one in Rhode Island that's open till 10:00.
It's got personalized tabs for appointments or research, or if you wanted to put various pamphlets in, or take notes.
Look at this pen.
I spent $78 on this pen alone.
Cancer ain't got nothing on these tabs.
Okay.
[exhales.]
I just need to figure out what candle to give her.
Oh, my God, you got her a gift? - That's weird! - AB-B-G, Always Be Bringing Gifts.
Okay, that's not the phrase.
Okay, so we've got Scent of Papaya - What? - Whispering Grass, and my personal favorite, Papa's Leather.
- Definitely not Papa's Leather.
- Why not? 'Cause nobody wants to smell that.
Hey, remember when.
All of time stood still? Doo-doo, doo-doo.
Back before we were brittle.
Back before we were brittle.
What do you need? Do you need something? I just kinda feel like I'm gonna throw up.
Okay, I have gingy; I have cashews.
- Maybe you need to eat something? - No, I think I'm okay.
[knocking on the door.]
What's happening in here? There's cancer in those boobs? That's a horrible inconvenience.
Let's get that out.
- [laughs.]
- I'm Dr.
Rollins.
- You must be Emma.
- I am, I am.
I'm Maggie, her, uh, best friend.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah, you too.
Sorry, I don't mean to be crying so soon.
No, no, you no, let the tears flow.
This is a safe place.
This is a little overwhelming, isn't it? I was gonna wear a beret, and then Maggie said no.
- No beret.
- Oh.
[chuckles.]
She's doing good, though, right? - Yeah, she is.
- Yeah.
I'ma tell you one thing.
You're in the best hands, because I've been doing this for freaking ever.
And the even better news is you found the lump, so now we get to do something about it, - all right? - Okay.
I'm gonna tell you what I know.
If I talk too fast, you let me know.
So it looks like the tumor is only about two centimeters.
It does mean we have to do surgery.
Oh.
But we have a couple of options.
We can do a lumpectomy, which means I take just the lump, leave the rest of the breast, or we do a double mastectomy, meaning we take both the breasts.
Okay, um, well, what's gonna keep me the most alive? - Well - 'Cause I have a, um I have a one-year-old daughter, and I mean, she's not my daughter - Yeah, she is.
- She's Maggie's baby, but I have to just - It's okay, it's okay.
- I just wanna, um I need to make sure that I'm here for her.
- Do you understand? - Yes, got it.
Research shows that a lumpectomy plus radiation is just as effective as a double mastectomy.
But what would you do if you were me? Every case is different, but with these results, and your age, and the fact that you have a toddler at home, I would have those boobs off me so fast, my head would spin.
Then take them off.
You don't wanna think about it? - No, tomorrow, do 'em.
- You heard her.
- Let's take 'em off.
- Take 'em off.
- You girls mean business.
- Both: Yeah.
I don't know if you've seen this binder, but it says, "Cancer, you wanna roll with this?" - I like you two a lot.
- We like you.
- We like everything about you.
- I've thrown a lot at you.
You have questions? Maggie, what else do we have? I had all these questions, but she answered most of them.
All right, you know what, forget here, this is my cell.
All right? Call me day or night, anytime, any questions.
And no Googling.
- I'm the Google.
- Okay.
Can you say that one more time? No, okay, I get it.
She's your Google.
No Googling.
Um, I just have one more question.
Yeah? Uh, do you think I'm gonna kick it? - Kick it? - She means kick it, like die.
Um, I think you're gonna kick cancer's ass.
- Really? - Yeah.
You're gonna be there to dance at Charlotte's wedding.
- You think so? - Yes not not that she has to get married.
We're not gonna force those kinda decisions on her.
- [laughs.]
Okay.
- Give me a hug.
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
- Thank you so much.
- Yeah.
- I'm so glad we found you.
- Good.
Hey, FYI, you might to get to keep your nips, right? That's correct.
I do a special nipple sparing surgery.
- Excuse me? - I do.
She's really proud of her nipples.
Oh, my God well they're just the perfect ratio of areola to nipple.
Oh, well in that case, let's go see Dr.
Meredith, to pick out the perfect boobs for the perfect nips.
[gentle guitar music.]
Yeah, they're really not much to speak of.
What? They're wonderful, - except for the cancer.
- [laughs.]
By the time I'm done with them, you're gonna have to sell tickets - Okay.
[laughs.]
- Okay? She's gonna give you the boobs of your dreams.
I really like the sound of that.
Okay, good, 'cause what Dr.
Rollins and I do it's called a one-step reconstruction.
So she's gonna scoop out all of the breast tissue, and then right away, I'm just gonna put in your brand new implants.
I'm the scooper, she's the boober.
- It's like Cold Stone Creamery.
- [laughs.]
Okay, let's put our fingers on some boobies.
This is a[laughs.]
it's a suitcase of boobs.
- That's so weird.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- All right which one of these feels most like your boobs? Um, okay, uh - I don't know.
- Really get in there.
Just really feel it.
I don't really touch my boobs that much, so I don't really know.
- Want me to give it a shot? - Please.
Kay.
Excuse me.
Okay.

- Okay, guys, you heard her.
Let's find some more kitchens.
[phone beeps.]
- What's that? - Oh, it's a game I play.
I'm a lonely troll, and I have to kill orcs in order to get more gold for my clan.

Oh, no, that's an orc attack.
Paul, she doesn't wanna hear about your game.
- She asked.
- Put it away.
But they'll take my village.
Her friend is in surgery.
Put the game away.
I'll never get him out.
Oh, Maggie, if you're hungry, I brought some smoked meats.
Oh, wow, that has a a real scent to it.
Thank you.
I make my own spice rub.
I call it Ian's Song of the South.
You might wanna change that.
You want a taste? It's really moist.
Um, it's tempting.
Uh, I think I'm I'm actually gonna go stretch my legs.
Oh, we can stretch 'em for you.

We'll just hold down the fort then.
- Okay.
- Orc attack? [phone beeps.]
Turn off that turn off that phone.

- Hey, Maggie Hey.
Look, I was trying to find you.
I just dropped in on the operating room, and it's going really well.
- Yes! Are you serious? - Yeah.
She's okay? She's doing okay? Am I shouting? Yes, a little bit.
It couldn't be going better - Okay, good.
- All right? We got her halfway through, and she's doing great.
That is that is a relief.
How are you doing? You know, I'm great.
[chuckles.]
Just chilling.
'Cause this can be pretty hard.
Yeah.
- It's really hard.
- Yeah.
'Cause I I don't know what to say to her, you know, and sometimes, I don't even have an answer, or sometimes, I'll say something, and then I'm like, "Why did I say that?" But I'd like to do something.
I would really like to be able to do something.
So I end up driving to Paper Source at 9:45 at night, buying a $78 pen, and a binder that's only gonna have one pamphlet in it.
And it's about saving your nipples, 'cause her nipples[whimpers.]
are really important to her.
Listen, Maggie, I just wanted to assure you that you're doing exactly what you should be doing, okay? Because you found her the best doctors.
Yeah.
And I know you're saying the right things to her, because I've seen you guys together, and you know her better than anyone else.
- And you caught it early - Yeah.
And you're making sure that she gets treatment straight away, so - Thank God she was so nosy.
- [chuckles.]
- She is a piece of work, right? - [chuckles.]
If you would knew the the lengths that she would go to for me And you for her, clearly.
Hey, come on.
You're gonna be okay.
What is that? - I'm, you know I'm just - [chuckles.]
- Can I have a hug? - Yeah, of course.
[chuckles.]
Yeah.
All right.
- Thank you.
- Mm-kay.
- Okay? - Yeah.
You're getting better at this bedside manner thing.
[chuckles.]
Well, you know, I'm I'm sort of, um, practicing a bit.
Is that so? Yeah, I did, uh, try it on one patient.
- No.
[laughs.]
- Yeah, I mean, she you know, she can't hear, so it's fine.
- [laughs.]
- Maggie? Is this man making you cry? Oh, no, guys, I'm I'm good.
Okay, Doctor, carry on.
Stand down.
Sorry, so you have a police escort? Emma and I taught the police force how to striptease.
- No big deal.
- Of course you did.
[gentle guitar music.]
Mark? What are you doing out here? Hey, what's up? I was just, um, taking a break from checking out these, uh these expired registrations.
- That sounds like a lie.
- Okay, it is.
How how's she doing? Do you do you know anything? Yes, Dr.
Ericson, um, stopped by the operating room, and she's everything's going great.
Yes yes! Okay, that's great.
That's good that's good to hear.
Do, uh do we know what do we know about these these ladies, though? - The doctors? - Yeah, 'cause, you know, I've been I was checking the the police database to see if they had ever been arrested, and they and they weren't, but they they may have aliases.
- That's the thing, so - Okay they are literally the best breast cancer doctors in the whole world, okay? They were on "Oprah.
" Well, yeah, but what what does Oprah know? - Well, a few things.
- They just gotta get it right.
They they they have to really just they gotta get it done.
'Cause I just finally I, you know I got her back, and now I can't I know.
Okay, you know who we're talking about, right? Emma? She's, like, the strongest, most aggressive person that we know.
[chuckles.]
Yeah.
You think that this is gonna take her down? No way.
Not today.
All right, I think you should come inside with me.
No, she made it perfectly clear that she does not want me in there.
You know, you don't have to listen to her, right? Oh, I didn't I was not aware that was an option.
[chuckles.]
Yeah, that's the secret of our friendship is that she just talks for a long time, and then I act like I'm listening, but then I just do whatever I want.
- Okay.
- Yep.
Oh, also, um, they got Shastas from, like, Wait a minute, they got straight Shastas up in here? Straight Shastas.
Straight Shastas.
All right, here we go.
And five, six, seven, walk, and fierce, fierce, squish, squish.
Pop that booty, booty, and move that freaking booty.
- Yeah! - [claps, laughs.]
Oh, nice, Tony.
I'm impressed.
Since our strip show, I've been taking private lessons.
Well it's paying off in spades.
- [laughs.]
That's right.
- Knock, knock.
So we got all the cancer out.
- [cheering, yelling.]
- Yeah! All right! Maggie Maggie, can you can you[clears throat.]
Yeah, yeah.
What's There's one thing.
It's just, um, I underestimated how very small her actual breasts were.
We hadn't seen breasts that small since we operated on an old Sicilian grandmother.
She's gonna repeat that detail.
I had to make 'em a little bigger.
Do you think she's gonna be upset about that? Oh, I think she'll be all right.
They're gonna be bigger, guys! All right! If that's what she wants.
That's what she wants.
She's gonna want it.
Oh, my God, I love you guys so much.
Aww.
[laughs.]
- [giggles.]
- You're welcome.
Hey.
Hey, Mags.
How'd it go? Oh, great.
They got it all out.
- They did? - Yeah, and you're gonna love your new knockers.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
We're gonna have to go bra shopping, 'cause they had to make 'em a little bigger, - but I said that was okay.
- Yay.
[chuckles.]
Hey, do you know where my socks are? I don't think I packed socks, but I I can ask, if you want me to.
No, no, no, no, I need my socks.
- I need the ones that I have.
- Hey, guys.
- Mark.
- Hey, Em.
Hey.
I got bigger boobs.
Well, okay, yeah.
You can show those to me at another time.
Um, I know that you told me not to come - Oh, no.
- But Maggie told me we don't have to listen to you anymore.
No, you do have to listen to me.
I don't think so.
I think I think those are the rules now.
- No, those are not the rules.
- That's right.
Those are indeed the new rules.
- That's correct.
- No listening to Emma.
I have cancer, so you have to do whatever what I say.
But you don't.
You don't have it anymore.
- They took it all out, so now - All out of you.
- Don't make me laugh.
- No? Just go get me my socks, please.
Okay.
Do you know where these socks are? I do.
I have 'em.
I I I know exactly what she's talking about.
- Mr.
Rodriguez to the rescue.
- [giggles.]
- Only three for a dollar.
- Isn't that amazing? - Oh, well, don't go all out.
- That's what I said.
These are just to put on her feet to protect anybody who comes by from her vicious sharp toes.
Stop saying ow.
- Emma Scissor-toes.
- [all laugh.]
- Guys - Okay, we need to let her rest.
Guys, come here come here for a second.
- What, honey? What? - Come here for a second.
- What? - I love you dummies.
- Well, we love you, weirdo.
- I love you too.
Don't move.
It'll hurt.
Get it, C-Tates.
Get it.
God, Channing Tatum is a physical specimen.
His abs should be in the Smithsonian.
- He's also a great dad.
- Oh, yeah.
I heard he likes to change diapers, like, all the time.
- Oh, man, that's sexy as hell.
- Yeah.
Hey, I wonder with my new titties, - if I can get a man like that.
- Hm.
Would that be okay with you, Mark? You know, the moves are good.
The moves are really, really good, but he's no match for DJ Mark of 99.
7.
The Crush.
- No, no.
- He isn't.
[laughs.]
Oh, my God.
You're right, babe, he isn't.
- The doctor wants to see you.
- Char-bar! Give me, give me, give me, give me.
Oh, no, no, you can't hold her.
Okay, okay, just put her down here, though, then, 'cause I gotta get a feel of that sweet, sweet baby skin.
