Royal Pains s06e06 Episode Script

Everybody Loves Ray, Man

Previously on Royal Pain Well, if you don't like our new rates, then of course you're free to use another facility.
You have the only imaging and lab facilities in the area.
Yeah.
This could be the last summer of Hankmed.
- You poached my nanny? - Typical new mom mistake.
Never introduce a great nanny to a desperate mother.
So now tomorrow, I'll have to spend all day interviewing nannies, the ironic part being that while I'll have 12 nannies in your kitchen, I'll have no one to watch over Sashi.
Hey, what's the score? Gotta get a picture of Ricky.
You're probably not gonna get much for that photo.
Oh, I was just gonna put it on Instagram for my friends back home.
I thought you were gonna try and sell it to Snarkhampton.
How did Snarkhampton get it? I guess someone sold it to them.
Paige found us a new patient, Ray Mazzarino.
The mob guy? I need rugs, tables, pictures, the works.
And I want the best.
What's this? A down payment on a Hankmed retainer.
Uh You take cash, right? I wish we could start our own hospital.
Anyway, section 4, it states that reimbursement to Berger & Lawson for any items purchased for your house is to be paid within three days.
That is, if three days sounds reasonable.
I'm also sorry things got so far without us ever meeting to discuss the terms, you know? Here you go, Uncle Ray.
That's not how we do business normally.
I find that Anyway, section 4A discusses nonpayment Move that inside.
An event, of course, which I doubt I'll ever to live to see, which is not to say that I think anything's gonna happen to me.
You know, that was kind of just a figure of speech You don't like what my designer picked out? No, I-I love the Italian accents.
It's just, you've created such a strong Novecento motif in there, it makes the baroque pieces feel a little heavy.
Bottom line, loves the Italian.
So moving right along to section 4B Can you find me something to replace it with that works by tomorrow night? There's an estate auction in Sagaponack in the morning.
Which would require a completely separate contract.
My wife Olivia is coming to opening night.
This is a big step towards winning her back.
Table for two, favorite Barolo.
I need everything to be perfect.
How fast can you show me something? I have the book in my car.
Yeah, which we should look at after we finalize the terms.
- Hi, Paige.
- Hi, Hank.
- Bye, Paige.
- Bye, Hank.
Ray, I just got your text.
What's going on? My cabinet's baroque.
- Don't say it, Henry, don't - Then fix it.
- I because it's broke, - You could fix it.
I'm sorry about him.
Wait, Evan, how do you know my doctor? Passaic.
my parents brought him home from the hospital, and I still can't get rid of him.
Doesn't help that he's the C.
F.
O of Hankmed.
You're the guy, huh? I wouldn't go that far.
Art Baron, medical exec.
You came out here to the Hamptons, got everything completely wired.
Well, kind of.
And you keep your business in the family.
I respect that.
Okay.
What about you, Ray? How's your energy level been since you left the hospital? Oh, I'm fine.
I called about my chef.
Oh.
Um Hey, Passaic, draw up whatever terms you need.
I'll check them over later.
I trust you.
Take a break, Franklin.
Let Dr.
Lawson check you out.
Oh, yeah, sure, I can take a break, no problem.
Or I got an idea.
Why don't you come over here and urinate in my consomme? Your consomme's gonna be fine.
Fine.
Oh, good okay, good.
We're striving for fine around here now.
Was Beethoven's ninth just fine? I don't think so.
I think it was perfection.
But then again, why would I expect a restaurant owner to get that a hundred different ingredients, like musical notes, can blend together to form something greater, something transcendent? You're transcending my patience, not to mention wasting time working with one arm.
Now, move it.
Whatever.
All right.
Hector, come here.
Stay on my consomme, all right? - Hi, I'm Hank.
- Hey, Hank.
- Let me take a look.
- All right.
- Yeah, it's a little tender.
- Okay.
- Ow.
- Wow, what happened here? Injured in the line of duty.
Mandolin fight.
I've had worse.
I got the scars and the cabinet full of antibiotics to prove it.
- It's not clotting on its own.
- No.
Do you have any cornstarch here? Yeah, right over there.
Okay, just hold that for me.
What are you gonna do? You gonna cure me with gravy? Sort of, actually.
Cornstarch is a natural clotting agent.
Oh.
- Give me your arm.
- Yeah.
- Didn't know that.
- Yep.
So this mandolin fight, was it more boxing match or drunken brawl? Oh, very good, very good, Ray.
That's clever.
That's his super subtle way of asking if I was loaded when I did this.
Oh, really? Why would he think you were? Not so long ago in a far off land called Manhattan, there was a young, hot chef, had lines out the door.
He had a book deal on the hook.
Also liked to drink a little too much.
Anyway, long story short, downward spiral this, irreversible professional damage that, here I am.
Changed man, a little clumsy but totally bone sober.
- Good for you.
- Thank you.
Well, would you look at that? Holy cow, I got a whole new respect for cornstarch.
I like this guy, Ray.
What the hell's he doing hanging out with you? Hoping you'll stop talking and get back to your soup.
It's not soup, Ray.
It's consomme.
I think you heard me.
I never met an owner who knows a gratin from a glaze.
But, you know, Ray's a good guy.
He was the only one who was willing to give me a second chance, so I just gotta stay clean.
Sounds like a good plan.
- Hi, Nate.
- Hi.
She's ready to fall asleep.
We had a really big day.
We had tummy time, song time, wound down with a little baby massage.
And I'd keep your phone on these next few days, 'cause I got a feeling this little girl's gonna start crawling any minute.
Well, I will certainly try.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Okay.
Oh, Ms.
Katdare, before I started last week, I put my name in for a childhood development class.
It meets two nights a week.
Today I found out I got a spot.
Um, really enjoy this job.
And I don't want to jeopardize it, like, at all.
So if that doesn't work for you, I totally understand.
I'm usually home most nights by 7:00 anyway, so I thought I'd ask.
I'll think about it.
Um, yeah.
Hi, Sashi.
Mommy missed you all day long.
Um Hey, ready to go check out the future site of Hanklab? I think this one's gonna be it.
I don't think it is.
Oh, I can feel it in my bones, Jeremiah, bones we'll soon be able to image in the diagnostic wing of Hanklab.
I'm so excited.
No, I just spoke to the real estate agent.
Apparently the square footage is insufficient.
Okay.
That's fine.
You know what? That's great.
Let's just go check out that other place then, that place in Montauk.
Unfortunately, that's even more expensive than the place we saw yesterday.
Which places aren't too expensive or too small? Like, what are what the heck? We're on long island, for God's sakes.
It's a it's a long island.
There's got to be something.
Hanklab was supposed to be the solution to our problems, get us out from under the thumb of stupid symphony and their stupid new rates.
Now it's just turning into a freaking disaster.
Disaster? What's a disaster? - Just some high - Class problems really.
Hankmed's looking to grow, and we're having trouble finding the right space, that's all.
Well, I've grown a business or two against some long odds.
Maybe I can help.
Come find me inside.
We'll talk.
What do you think? I mean, decorating his house is one thing.
But should we really be, you know, going inside with this guy? We should at least hear what he has to say.
If we can't find a place, we may need to devise a new strategy for Hankmed.
If we can't find a place, there won't be any Hankmed.
Hey.
What you doing? - Uh, just girl stuff.
- Ah.
I mean, not that I can afford any of this, - but dare to dream, right? - Yeah.
Thank you so much for the clothes you sent, Lorena.
Do you think Sashi will wear them? I'm sure that when she's old enough to play soccer, she'll never take that tiny uniform off.
Don't forget.
My granddaughter is half Argentinean.
She must wear the white and the blue.
You send more pictures, and I'll send you more clothes.
Oh, you drive a hard bargain, Lorena, but you know what? You got a deal.
- Adios.
- Adios.
Seems like you and Lorena are getting close.
She's been wonderful to Sashi.
And it's been nice for me too as a mother.
Everything I want now I want as a mother.
And what I want for Sashi is for her to feel the presence and the tradition of her family, her whole family.
Yeah, of course you do.
I mean, really, who who would have thought that I, of all people, would be craving family tradition? Actually, I would have thought that.
The Divya I first met three years ago was running away from expectations, trying to find herself.
And there's no question you've done that.
I mean, you're confident, successful, the most independent woman I know.
So now you have room in your life for tradition without feeling suffocated by it.
Makes all the sense in the world, especially for a mother.
A wonderful mother.
Thank you, Hank.
I don't know what I'd do without you and your wisdom.
Well, yeah, that's the other amazing thing that's happened in your life.
What would be really amazing would be if I could find an amazing nanny.
I'm gonna have to take another day off to do another round of interviews.
I thought you liked number five.
He was a better cook than one and four, though not quite as neat as three, or is two the neat one? He's the one who's already got one foot out of the door.
You know, and things are hard enough, but I absolutely refuse to be burned again by one of these nannies.
Hey, hey, hey.
Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
Fine.
I'm sorry.
I think I'm frustrated.
Look, this is the person you're counting on for the care of your child.
Of course it's not an easy decision.
You just take all the time you need.
- Are you Divya? - Yes.
I am so sorry.
This is the fifth garage stall I've tried before finding you.
How's your father? Like every crew chief preparing for a time trial, except mine has a history of cardiac arrest and a pacemaker.
And you're worried because He's usually working on the engine, carrying the tires.
Every time he tries to use his left hand, he can't, and I know that left arm weakness can have something to do with your heart.
Don't be mad, but I called a doctor.
Come on, Ash.
Carl Edwards' guys could be here any minute.
So could Carl Edwards.
How's it going? You must be Ashley.
- I-I-I am.
- Nice to meet you.
This is my father, Dave.
- Hi, nice to meet you.
- How you doing? Don't be so mad at her, Dave.
It seems like she's just looking out for you.
See? See? But how do you know who I am? I keep my eye on the next generation of racers.
We're always looking for top talent to mentor.
Plus your name is right here on your race car.
You'd think I would have figured that out.
I mean, it's really a newbie mistake.
My first six sprint cup series races, I actually drove the wrong car.
Oh, really? No.
No.
You should you should listen to your dad.
Your friend here seems a little bit gullible.
Plus, I'd really like to see you win.
So good luck.
- Thanks.
- Nice to meet you, Carl.
See that, baby? Carl Edwards is pulling for you.
This is it.
Since the only thing around here that needs tuning up is her engine, can we get on with this, please? Hi.
Gentlemen, welcome to one of my latest real estate acquisitions and the future of Hankmed.
It'll be fully wired for electric at 110 and 220, zoned A/C with optional counterflow units and upgradeable modular plumbing.
The landlord will even install whatever flooring you choose.
I hear he's a great guy and very handsome.
Wow.
This is big.
There might even be room for a Fluoroscopy suite.
No, I mean, like big.
If we can go beyond our own needs, think about it.
If we can offer affordable prices to other practices, Jeremiah, this could be a huge opportunity for growth.
I love the way you think, kid.
Always looking for the upside but never losing the personal touch.
Clearly Hankmed is not just a business to you.
It's a way of life.
Ray.
I could totally hug you right now, um, but I'm pretty sure the rental price is gonna actually kill me, so just tell me what it is really fast.
Oh, Passaic, a good relationship should not have to hurt, unless you're into that sort of thing.
Right? I think the health care industry's poised for massive growth, and I'd like to learn the economics.
So why not cut you a break on rent? To me, it'll be an investment in knowledge capital.
Ray - I am ready for that hug now.
- Let's not.
What is that sound? It's just the place next door.
Oh, yeah? What place is that? Yeah.
Okay.
This is this is okay.
Hankmed can't open its diagnostic center next to a place where women take off their clothes.
Well, I'm not a doctor, but technically our patients will also be taking off their clothes.
Look, I've done my research, okay.
Ray's a major player in construction, import/export, and urban services.
The guy's smart, Jeremiah.
He knows what he's doing.
And he thinks we can put a lab here.
Besides, we need this.
We're talking the future of Hankmed.
Yes, we are, and that future shouldn't share a wall with women in their underwear.
Well, I don't know what to say.
You're the medical director.
I'm the C.
F.
O.
What do you propose we do? We should take this to Hank.
Yeah.
Hey, Ray, what seems to be the What did you do to your hand? Oh, I'm not the patient.
Look at him.
Drunk as a skunk on opening day.
You know, I cooked skunk one time.
Tasted like chicken.
Like smelly, smelly chicken.
Ow, ow, ow! Okay, okay.
You broke his nose.
Well, I warned him.
Tonight's about Olivia.
Ray, I need you to leave.
Are you seriously trying to tell me what to do in my own restaurant? I am a doctor treating a patient injured in your restaurant by you, so yeah, seriously, go.
Take a hike, Ray.
Is it broken, really? - It's really broken, my friend.
- Ah, for crying out loud.
On a scale of one to ten, how severe is your weakness? Honestly, I haven't even thought about it.
This time trial's too important for things like that.
Today's all about Ashley.
Hold your arms up like this, please, and push up against my hands.
Thank you.
Excuse my ignorance, but a time trial doesn't even sound like a race.
Well, races come and go.
This is the opportunity of a lifetime.
Carl Edwards' team is looking for a new driver, so they brought together all these top amateurs.
Whoever clocks the fastest four laps is gonna get their shot at the big time.
Well, I'm happy to report your EKG is completely normal, but your left arm is weaker than your right arm, which is most likely Musculoskeletal in nature, anything from a strained ligament to an irritated nerve to a muscle tear.
But to be safe, I'll keep an eye on you until the time trial is over.
Great.
In the meantime, can I get back to fine-tuning machines instead of being hooked up to one? Yes.
In a second.
I barely had anything to drink.
I didn't a couple sips of wine with a pairing menu.
That's it.
Okay.
Just look straight ahead for me.
Drunken behavior can sometimes be a sign of neurological impairment.
That's why I want to make sure we're not missing anything.
- Uh-huh.
- Stand up for me.
I want you to walk a straight line just like I am right now, okay? Putting one foot in front of the other.
All right.
Yeah, I must have been impaired to work with a guy whose idea of high culture is putting the yogurt on top of the fruit.
Oh, good.
Good, so get yourself cleaned up and get off my terrace.
Don't worry about it, Ray.
I'm gonna leave, all right? Just as soon as this guy tapes my nose back onto my face.
Okay, Franklin, have a seat.
No, no, you're going back in the kitchen.
I don't have time to find another chef before tonight, let alone a sober one.
I'm telling you, man, I had, like, two I had, like, maybe three sips of wine maximum.
Tell him, Hank.
- Okay, you are a little off - Balance, but otherwise neurologically intact, so before we do any further workup, I'm gonna order a blood alcohol test.
Sounds good to me.
I just I don't understand.
You're concerned about a 17-year-old girl because she was not shopping on the Internet? The more I get to know Emma, the more I sense that she wants something Something bigger.
When she helped me with that patient at the barbecue and didn't bat an eye at all that blood, it just it really felt like she was my sister, you know? And as her brother, I want to be there to expose her to things, help her get everything she wants out of life.
Like you exposed me to accounting when you didn't like where life was taking me? You wanted to be a movie star.
Life was not taking you there.
Then why did the Passaic high courier say my turn in pippin, "breathed new vitality" Because you wrote that review.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
I want to talk to her.
You know, I actually I picked up some brochures from a few local colleges.
- Which ones? - Hello, gentlemen.
Hello.
Have you dined with us before? No, we have not.
Any recommendations? Remember the alamo.
Speak truth to power.
Be the change that you wish to see.
Nice.
You've been waiting all day to use that one, haven't you? Yes.
Also the Halibut's really good.
Here, I'll get you guys some menus.
Waitress.
It's a thank-you from Oz.
Uh, the Oz that runs Snarkhampton? Thanks, but I only gave him one photo.
Oh, no, no, this is for the next one, and so is this.
Oz thinks that you might be of some value.
You work at the right place, and that picture of you from this morning, that'll get you into all the other right places.
That guy just gave her 100 bucks.
Yeah.
Yeah, she's slumming here, Henry.
You definitely better go expose her to more.
That's not my point.
Speaking of exposure, Ray's lab space? Great, like, amazing.
There's just one little adjacent business issue See, Emma is a bright, confident young woman.
I just I want her to know there's more to life than some job where people think they can slap down some cash and get whatever they want.
Oh, my God, exactly.
Sorry, sorry.
You were saying something about Ray's space? Hmm? No, no, that's that can wait.
Hey, there.
You're not working.
I am, just inside my head.
Oh.
And you barely touched your water.
Is something wrong? To save my business, we have to find a new location where we can offer expanded services, but the only place we can afford is directly adjacent to an an adult establishment, um, which for a medical practice is obviously not ideal.
So what? Are you the manager of this practice? No, I'm actually the medical director.
You're a doctor.
Hmm.
So tell me, doctor, why is an adult establishment not ideal? It's inappropriate because of the whole I mean, the people that go there.
I mean, the people that work there.
They're you know - Have you ever been to one? - No! Why? You're right.
This is not distasteful.
Of course it's not.
These are regular women trying to make a living.
Like, take a look at this beautiful girl.
I don't think you're allowed to Jeremiah, meet my neighbor, hope.
Hey, I guess now she's your neighbor too.
Nice to meet you.
Make sure you take care of my girl here.
Hope, you're up.
Excuse me.
I have to go back to rehearsal.
She seems nice.
She is nice.
You know, most of the girls here, this is their first job.
I mean, you didn't wake up one day just being a doctor, right? - Hmm? Oh, no.
- No.
How did you get your start? Eyeball courier.
What? Eyeball courier.
Eyeball courier? In med school, when there were local accidents that involved a fatality, I would be called in to harvest the corneas and pack them in a special cooler to be sent for transplant.
How did you get that job? I had the cooler.
What was the worst job you ever had? Um, tending bar at the summerhouse.
Maybe you've heard of it.
You won't work there forever.
No, no, no.
I've always had the idea of helping people who are in pain.
So once I iron out a couple of problems, I'm gonna get my physical therapist license.
What kind of problems? Nothing I can't handle.
But if it doesn't work out, do you still have that cooler? Hey.
Whose turn is it to go first with Bob today? And what are we gonna talk about? The fact that my husband gets dressed up for therapy? What? No.
This might be my last chance to get changed before dinner at Ray's tonight.
Guys like him appreciate business attire.
Okay, two days ago, you were warning me about Ray.
The guy gives you one compliment, and suddenly you're rolling over to let him scratch your tummy.
I'm what? Nobody's scratching anybody.
Just turns out we come from the same people, that's all.
People who wear a cravat on weeknights? Okay, here's the thing.
You know who never conquered the Hamptons? Mm, the Dutch? Genghis Khan? Cheesecake factory.
Very good guesses.
But no.
People who work for free, that's who.
What? You and Russel bought pieces for Ray's restaurant without even looking over the terms of the contract.
He said he would sign it this afternoon.
Is that a problem? Yes, it could be, if he starts seeing you guys as pushovers.
- Excuse me, pushovers? - Yes.
Nobody wants to hire someone who looks too eager, Paige.
People will want to hire us because we're good at what we do.
The reason we're working for C.
F.
O.
Is because he respects our taste.
Okay, he may like your taste, but that's not what this is about.
It's about leverage, Paige.
Leverage, that's what guys like me and Ray respect, leverage.
Oh, yeah, guys like you and Ray.
Yeah.
Movers and shakers, you know, self made men.
All right, you ready to go to Bob's? Yeah, and I am definitely going first.
No I'm wearing that thing.
Hey.
Hey, doc, let me borrow your nose, since mine is still out of service.
Okay.
It's perfect.
Yeah, you should stick to doctoring.
Hector, a pig couldn't find the truffle in here.
Come on, snap to it.
Well, you seem to be doing better.
Yeah.
But I need you to be honest here.
Did you drink more today than you claimed? No, it was just those few sips.
All right? Why? Because I got your blood alcohol level back.
It was off the charts.
Come here.
I did feel drunk earlier, and on Tuesday, and on Sunday, it was twice, maybe three times.
I don't even know, but the point is, I used to be able to drink a bottle before breakfast, okay, and I could still cook a michelin-rated lunch, and now I can't even have three sips? I'm wasted? What's happening to me? There are several possibilities, okay? It could be liver disease.
It could be chronic kidney conditions.
So things that I did to myself.
Well, not necessarily.
The list is long.
Yeah, well, so is my list of bad decisions.
I was young, thought I was bulletproof.
Like, who thought it was gonna wreck my career and my health? Look, we don't know anything yet, okay? For right now, I don't want you drinking another drop.
Yeah, obviously.
And tomorrow I'll take you in for a series of scans and tests, and once we know what's going on, we can make a plan of attack.
All right.
All right, all right.
Gas a tick sooner.
Beating you by 2/10.
Dad, I'm on it.
He's giving me his inside.
Dave, you okay? I'm fine.
I'm fine.
It's these corners I'm worried about.
Come on, sweetheart.
You got this.
That's it, Ash.
There you go.
You got the lead.
Two laps to go.
Dave.
How am I looking? Okay, okay.
Your airway's clear.
Dave, I need you to remain calm.
Dad, are you there? Where are you? Dad! Dad? Somebody tell me what's going on.
I'm right here with him.
Divya, Divya, put him on.
Let me talk to him.
I can't.
Let me talk to him! I can't, Ashley.
Dad! Okay, Dave.
Whoa, whoa, wait, wait, what are you doing? What okay, okay, okay, okay.
Dave, just let me breathe for you, all right? I think I know what's happening.
Dad, dad, what's going on? He's having a heart attack.
No, it's his pacemaker, Ashley.
Hold this.
Hold this here.
Squeeze.
Where is your father's magnet? In his pockets usually.
All right, use this to reset his pacemaker.
After this, he should be fine.
It's not working.
Okay, I'm gonna have to use an anesthetic.
We're gonna have to make a small incision.
All right, Dave.
You're gonna feel a little pinch.
Ready, Dave? All right.
Just breathe.
Okay, that wasn't so bad.
But I'm not quite done yet.
What is that? His pacemaker.
Oh.
Okay.
You can stop now.
- He can breathe.
- Okay.
Pacemakers aren't tied down.
They sit loose in a pocket just under the skin, and those wires are supposed to be in your heart.
Okay, you can sit up now.
You're gonna feel much better.
Okay, good.
Okay.
Over here, over here.
Dad.
You fidget when you're nervous, and as you can see today, you fidgeted with this enough to wrap the wire around it like a yo-yo.
Is that why he couldn't breathe? Yes.
Once he pulled the wire tips out of his heart, they stimulated everything they touched, including the nerve to your diaphragm.
We refer to this habit as twiddler's syndrome.
So it wasn't a heart attack? No.
Just concern for your daughter.
Ashley, I'm so sorry about the trial.
Divya had it under control.
You didn't have to come in.
Of course I did.
I don't care about my time.
I only for as long as I can remember, the one thing that I could always count on was hearing your voice, no matter where I was or what I was doing, and when I heard it, you were right there with me, and I was safe.
And then when I was out there and I didn't hear you, you couldn't So I've been doing some thinking.
- Hmm? - There is a big wide world out there with so much new to explore.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
And I know that if you don't reach for your dreams, they could be gone in a heartbeat.
- Totally.
- And that's why I think that you should go back to college.
You think you think I should Wait a second.
What are you You left these in the kitchen.
And I mean no offense because I really do appreciate the thought, but you barely know me.
So let's not do this.
You know what? You're right.
I do barely know you.
All I know is that everyone needs someone to bounce things off of now and then.
So I guess all this was just my way of volunteering to be that person for you.
Thanks.
But, I mean, you're that person for everybody.
So I guess I'm curious, who do you bounce things off of? Oh.
Um Okay, well, then this is me offering to be that person for you.
I accept.
Good.
Um Yeah, and I don't want us to hide things from one another.
Your fancy new phone.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, a 17-year-old girl's got to text, right? LOL.
Oh, L-O-L, right, got it.
L-O-L.
Hey, so I just want to talk to you about a little wrinkle with Ray's lab space, okay? - We know it's a problem.
- About that You know Ray broke Franklin's nose, right? I just I'm fine with him as a patient, but do we really want to do business with someone so impulsive? We're not, like, doing business with him.
We're just renting his space.
Look, the only real conversation point here is that it's next to a, uh Well, it's a, uh It's a burlesque club.
But it's very clean inside.
We can put up soundproofing and use the back lot for parking.
And the women employed there work for a living just like everyone else and shouldn't be judged, so we shouldn't judge them.
Sounds like you guys have this all under control.
Great work.
Oh, boy, don't tell me.
The food is terrible.
I know.
So the big shot chef comes through after all.
Franklin, your cooking is magnificent.
Your nose, well, it was not great to begin with.
- Won't happen again.
- Ha.
So here, come, please, eat.
Oh, yeah, no, thank you, that's great.
But we're still open, so Are you refusing to eat with me? Hey, it's your restaurant, right? Boss man tells me to eat, I'll eat.
Let's do it.
Come on.
Put it down.
Oh, this looks good.
Oh, my God.
That is good.
Who made this? You did.
- Yeah.
- I did this? Excuse me.
Are you Paige Lawson? - Cat Greenleaf! - I am.
And my husband and I are buying a summer home, and I love the things you found for the bar.
- Do you have a minute? - Yeah, of course.
- Great.
- And if you like those, there's this neoclassical set I had my eye on You know what? That's probably a discussion better left for your initial consultation, I think.
So she's actually booking, like, two weeks out right now.
Why don't you just give us a call, okay? Or why don't you tell her when she's ready to talk to give me a call? - All right.
- Okay.
- Sure.
- Thanks.
Huh? What? Listen, Passaic, I know you're trying to help, but Russel and I don't want to build an empire, so go take over the Hamptons for someone else.
I'm going to run my business the way I want.
Paige.
Who is it? Who is it? I guess she didn't roll over today after all, so you didn't miss anything.
Yeah, I did.
Thank you.
In fact, thank you for all of your help.
Sashi and I are very lucky to have you, Nate.
One more thing.
I think that you should take that class.
Really? - Mm - Hmm.
That's awesome.
Uh thanks.
I'll see you in the morning.
You want this? You want this? You want Okay.
Oh.
Mama.
Mama was twiddling with your nannies.
Yeah.
I thought it was because I disapproved of them.
Yeah.
But turns out, it was because they got to be with you.
But I made a decision.
I'm going to start working part-time.
Yeah.
Now all we have to do is, uh, work out how to tell Uncle Hank and aunt Evan.
She didn't come.
Your wife.
Not even a call.
- I'm sorry.
- Eh It's my own fault.
See, when Olivia and I were together, I paid more attention to my work than I did to her.
She wanted out of our Jersey life, out of my life.
And I didn't I just didn't listen.
And now Right? Well, I'm sure she appreciates how hard you're trying.
Look at all these beautiful people here on this beautiful night.
You're so beautiful! Oh.
You know what's missing in this restaurant, Ray? It's the the music.
Why is there no music in here? Franklin, why don't you get back to the kitchen? What are you doing? Get off the table! He's right.
Franklin, come on down.
It's okay, because I brought my own band.
What are you doing? Come on.
Oh! Oh, God! Franklin.
Oh, whoever's foot that is, that's gotta hurt.
I can't find a pulse.
Franklin, you fractured and dislocated your ankle.
It's compressing the artery, and the skin is tenting.
If I don't reduce it now to reestablish the blood supply, - you could lose your foot.
- Uh-oh.
Oh.
- Okay.
- All right, this is gonna hurt.
Or not.
Oh! Oh! Oh, yeah! Good? Okay.
I've got a pulse.
- I have auto what? - Auto-brewery syndrome.
- And that's a thing? - That's a thing.
It's an overgrowth of yeast in your stomach that turns carbs like those in bread and pasta into alcohol.
We'll need cultures to confirm it, but I suspect it was caused by your excessive use of antibiotics from all your previous kitchen injuries.
I wasn't getting drunk on wine, I was getting drunk on food? That's right.
I'm like a walking home brew kit, - is what you're telling me? - That's what I'm telling you.
- Oh, man! - And after a few weeks of Antifungal pills, you'll be fine, although your ankle might take a little longer.
Yeah.
But I can go back to work? Yeah, Ray says it's fine with him.
Especially since you can't dance.
Are you talking about now, or are you commenting on my table dancing skills from earlier? Oh, no, you had some moves.
Recognize.
You know what we've got here, Hackensack, is something great.
- You and me? - Pfft! Those symphony people think they're gonna bury us.
They're not.
We're gonna bury them.
You know why? 'Cause we know what matters, you and me.
Roots, hard work, and family.
Am I right? Damn right, you're right.
In fact, I was just thinking, Passaic, forget about these lease terms and deposits and contracts.
Let's make this easy.
Do it as partners.
The whole lab, you and me, 50-50.
Clean, easy, Simple.
Yeah, that's great.
Partners, uh I mean, extended ownership is it's a pretty big step, especially while we get our finances in order with the equipment rentals and the regulatory guidelines, but yeah, that's definitely something we should plan on having a discussion about in the future, for sure.
Evan We just had the discussion.
