01x08 - Talk-Story

[bunniefuu]

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Hey! Sorry you had to wait so long.

I was second scalpel on

a snoozer hip arthroplasty

when a Bovie submarined

the lateral circumflex.

It was a sponge party.

Sorry.

Surgical jargon.

Gotcha. No worries!

Well, I mean, while I waited,

I nailed a double fakie hardflip

into a frontside overcrook,

and then I combo'd a reverse

gInger sn*p into an old-school h*-h*.

And I was like, what?

- Skating jargon.

- (SOFT CHUCKLE)

And really, I don't mind waiting.

You know I'd wait all day for you.

Thanks.

It'd be cool to do normal stuff,

like, meet my skate crew Saturday?

(SIGHS)

But I get it. You're a doctor.

You got weird hours and

you're just doing your job.

Like Big Mo.

Dude won't let me in to use the

bathroom unless I snap my ankle.

It's fine! Walter's my boyfriend!

(SIGHS)

All respect, brah!

So, I do have to work on Saturday,

but I'm all yours for the next

fifty-two minutes?

You wanna go for a walk?

- Feed the feral cats?

- (SCOFFS)

Only if we get to invent

elaborate backstories for them.

- (WATCH BEEPS)

- LAHELA: Crap!

Code Blue, my patient's flatlining!

- That's jargon for

- I think I know what that one means.

- Go!

- Okay.

Your THR patient from this

morning. He's 83 years old, yeah?

Eighty-four. Possible post-op DVT or

pulmonary embolus. Or caught a PJI.

- Poor old guy's on his honeymoon.

- (NOELANI GROANS)

(NOELANI GASPS)

(LAHELA CLEARS THROAT)

Oops.

Bonnie, we've got a crowd!

Your pulse oximeter came off.

We all thought you flatlined.

Sorry. We're newlyweds.

We just can't keep our

mitts off of each other!

(GLENN AND BONNIE CHUCKLE)

(MACHINE BEEPING)

(SIGHS) Gotta say,

not a bad way to spend

the end of your life.

(THEME MUSIC)

(ALL LAUGH)

That was like watching Nana

and Pop-Pop get to second base.

Girl, we doc-blocked them!

I think it's so sweet

they found each other.

It's inspiring to know the

candle of love still burns

so close to the end of the wick.

Oh, barf.

I hope Walter and I are

like that when we're 80.

Poor Walter. He reminds

me of my first boyfriend.

Huh?

I mean, Doogie, you're

16. You're still a keiki.

Trust me, you're gonna meet

guys who are way better fits.

We fit great.

He's my first love.

Ignore that hard-up witch

who's clearly been burnt before

and believe in love, honey.

Like me and Trent.

You know, we're navigating

choppy waters right now,

- but we're destined to be together.

- NOELANI: Hm.

You mean your ex?

In Chicago? Who just

moved in with another man?

I said choppy waters!

Walter and I are great.

I just wish I could see him more.

He asked me to meet

his friends on Saturday,

but that's my regular GI rotation.

Why don't we swap? You take

Monday, I'll take Saturday.

- No prob.

- Really?

Thanks!

Trent and Todd are apple picking

then and are gonna light up Insta.

Can't watch Trent pick

another man's apples.

(LIGHT MUSIC)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(KAI GROANS) How much

longer is Dad gonna be?

(SIGHS DEEPLY) Eternity?

- Hey, Ono Ken, aloha!

- KEN: Hello, brother!

- Guava! A hui hou!

- GUAVA: Hey there, Benny!

(LAUGHS)

How's it, Kamealoha family?

Benny struck gold at Mama

Keona's macadamia stand!

It was (IMITATES expl*si*n) nuts!

What's this noise?

BENNY: Carob chip brownies!

Mama K gave 'em to me

for only seven bucks each!

(CLARA CHUCKLES) You

and the farmers' market.

You always promise to hit it and

quit it, then go in for hours.

It's like Narnia but

with overpriced fig jam.

Oh, come on. It's my chance

to talk story with everyone!

You know, Guava Nohea,

Ono Ken, Smart Ken

(SCOFFS) all the Kens!

(RETCHES)

Diarrhea mouth!

Garbage.

Oh, my cookie cakes would

dunk all over these fools!

Kai! Dad paid seven bucks

for these poop bricks.

With your oven mitts

and my business savvy,

we could get rich off of

eager suckers like Dad!

Totally! The island's

crawling with chumps!

I'm in.

I could use extra money.

But I don't wanna do

any math or money stuff.

Don't worry, pretty boy.

I'll handle the cash.

(CLARA GROANS)

The hospital board wants

employee recommendations

for the Chief of Staff search,

which is great for my

competition, Dr. Lee.

The heart surgeon that ranked

everyone's spouse by hotness?

(GRUNTS)

He drives me crazy, but

he can really work a room.

Like Bill Clinton

if Bill Clinton were half-Malay,

wore cycling shorts to work,

and could recite the entire script

of Cool Runnings from memory.

I love Cool Runnings, John Candy.

I love the hospital!

And I know I can make it

so much better as chief.

But I have to campaign for it?

That's business.

Part of the reason why I left trading.

I do all the crap no one wants to do,

and I'm focused on actually

running the hospital.

But I'm no good at schmoozing.

(GRUNTS) I'm a workhorse,

not a show horse.

Show horses aren't born, they're made.

You have to be a workhorse

at being a show horse!

I have an idea.

You grab some fruit in the market

and lay it out at work with a sign,

"Courtesy of Dr. Hannon.

Your next Chief of Aloha."

That's a great idea.

Then you should sing

to them. From the heart.

But let's start with the fruit first.

Yeah.

You sure you didn't overdo it?

Steph, I wanna make a

good first impression

on Walter's skate crew.

With a shnark-noodle-ree board?

Charcuterie board!

I used meats and cheeses from

six of the seven continents.

It's delicious and conversational.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

Whoo!

(UPBEAT MUSIC CONTINUES)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Why does it smell like a locker

room even though we're outside?

Love it.

Smells like dudes.

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

- WALTER: 'Sup.

- Hey.

Lahela, Steph, these are my boys!

- This is Spyder.

- How's it?

- Goofy J.

- 'Sup.

- And Carl.

- Cool meat.

I'm so happy that you're here. Come on!

GOOFY J.: Hey, look

at those handle nerds!

CARL: Scoots get the boot!

Hey, no hobbies, lifestyles only!

- (LAUGHS)

- They're yelling at children.

Yeah.

Beat it, Fisher-Price!

SPYDER: No, I got ya!

- CARL: Yeah, that was good.

- Come on!

- GOOFY J.: There you go.

- SPYDER: Welcome to the club.

- GOOFY J.: Yeah

- STEPH: Hey.

CARL: You should

come here all the time.

Okay, you left delicious

fruit in the break room

Now's the time to cash in.

Yeah.

Go get those employee recs.

(CHUCKLES)

(SOFT CHUCKLE)

(BREATHES DEEPLY) Oop.

Ahoy, Gail! (CHUCKLES)

All right, that's, um

So, not sure if you saw, but I

put some treats in the break room.

Yum.

Okay.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

- Hey, Joannie! How are ya?

- Good.

You have been a nurse here

for, what, seven years?

Oh, 12. And, actually, it's Jenny.

Oh, my god. I'm so sorry!

Bye.

I need a shave ice.

Make it a double rainbow.

Whoa. What's going on?

My coworkers will never recommend me.

No, they love you!

I just called Jenny, a

longtime nurse here, Joannie!

I mean, wear a name tag

on campus, but still

Oh, that reminds me, I gotta

get a gift for her baby shower.

She said no gifts but

come on, I'm not an animal.

You were invited to her

baby shower and I wasn't?

(CLARA SCOFFS)

I'm so bad at this.

(SIGHS)

And now it's gonna

cost me Chief of Staff.

(DR. LEE YELLS)

(BOTH GRUNT)

- MAN: Hey!

- Oh!

Hey, PS, your wife's still

number one on the list, bruh.

(DR. LEE CHUCKLES)

Oh, hail Gail!

I'm following your account on Insta.

Dear Tabby? Yes, love it! Love it.

Oh, Jenny! Hope people

don't think the baby's mine!

(LAUGHS)

I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Don't call HR.

(BOTH LAUGH)

I'm gonna rec you.

As in "rec"?

Short for recommendations.

Boom! (CHUCKLES)

“Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme!

Get on up, it's bobsled time!”

- DR. LEE: Yeah! Yes!

- (GROANS)

(DR. LEE YELLS)

Dr. Lee is a star.

No wonder Joannie didn't invite me.

Jenny.

You didn't get invited

to Jenny's baby shower.

(IN SOFT VOICE) Right. Jenny.

(SIGHS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

STEPH: Hey.

(STEPH CHUCKLES)

STEPH: No, like, I can

totally, like, shred the gnar.

- SPYDER: Really?

- STEPH: Yeah.

So, like, why do they call you Spyder?

I don't know. But all the

Tarantola men get called it.

Italian! Like-a me-a!

Hey, Lahela. Thanks for

bringing the food plate.

It's cool.

Yeah, Doc. These

little pickles are dope!

I feel like a giant man guy!

(ALL LAUGH)

And I don't know what those tiny

breadsticks are, but they're tasty!

Toothpicks?

Yo, Doc, you ever get to amputate stuff?

Ideally not. But I kinda do it all.

I'm currently in my

gastroenterology rotation,

and it's surprisingly cool.

Gastromony?

Like, butt stuff? (CHUCKLES)

Yo, Doc, you specialize in farts?

I guess you kinda came

to the right place, then.

(BOYS LAUGH)

Okay, let's talk something different.

So, is this what you guys normally do?

Yeah. I mean, if we're

not skating, we're surfing.

Wait.

So you guys, like, never walk?

Walking's for dopes.

The Earth doesn't walk, it spins, man.

Tony Hawk skated so that

we don't have to walk.

Oh, sounds like the

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

of transgressional street sports.

I gotta look her up.

Chicks with three names

are always smokin' hot.

I have three names.

So

(LIGHT MUSIC)

(GROANS)

Dr. Hannon's bribery

guavas have spoiled.

Oh, there she is, lover girl! (CHUCKLES)

So? How was your big

Saturday with Walter?

Hm. His buddies were underwhelming.

I finally get why there's no

dialogue in energy drink commercials.

Hm, well, welcome to the

world of mediocre boyfriends.

I mean, if it's not deadbeat pals,

it's unpaid rent, or a wife,

or one time, surprise back hair.

(GASPS) Brillo-back

Sammy! I remember him.

- He was funny.

- (NOELANI GRUNTS)

Lahela, you are a gorgeous

16-year-old doctor.

Just gotta keep those eyes open, girl.

(GROANS) Walter and I are great. Great!

I gotta go check on our newlywed.

Oh, you know, I'd knock first.

I think they discovered the

handlebars in the bathroom shower.

Hey, yo! What are you doing?

What?

Sorry about the TV.

I couldn't find the remote.

Why don't you tell me who you are?

Right. Sorry, that

was rude. I'm Anthony.

I just started volunteering here.

I read to patients twice a week.

Oh.

- Okay. That's cool.

- ANTHONY: Full disclosure,

it doesn't look too bad

on my college apps, either.

The goal is Columbia for Comp Lit,

and then it's off to

Cambridge for the Ph.D.

Here, if you'd like to

indulge in humanities,

William Carlos Williams

is your on-call poet.

Thanks.

Off to pediatrics! (SIGHS)

Chop-chop, partner! I need 42

cookie cakes by the end of day.

(GROANS) Buddy.

The farmers' market's not for

another couple days. Relax.

Did you not get the

business plan for

Brian Patrick and Kai's Cookie Cakes?

I slid it under your door.

Okay, here's the deal with the deal.

We fly high and fast and force

Keebler into a competitive M&A.

Make those smug little

elves pay through the nose.

Build our own tree mansion.

Eh, sounds intense.

I'll fire up a couple cookie cakes,

but I just wanna make enough to

buy myself a pair of kitchen clogs.

But I thought we were

doing this together?

Not like this.

I make cookies for fun. I

don't wanna bake for the man.

Don't you get it?

We're the man!

Sorry. Can't do it, bruh.

(SIGHS)

Then prepare to face the

invisible hand of the market, bruh.

(GRUNTS)

Ah, think next time,

I'll leave it in the box.

At least Jenny won't have to

put it together. Carpal tunnel.

How do you know more about

my colleagues than I do?

'Cause you don't talk story with them.

You come across as all

business all the time.

You're like a mullet

with no party in the back.

I wish I had time for talking,

but with my life, I

have to always be doing.

You should always be being.

Come to the baby shower and show

your coworkers that side of you.

People respond to that energy.

Not only is it how you

should live your life,

but it'll help you get Chief of Staff.

You're right.

I'll go. (CHUCKLES)

Now, this is the sort

of event that has the

- No booze.

- Yup, that's great.

Awesome.

I refuse to look at pics of

Trent apple-picking with Todd,

but please describe them and be

just to the bitchy side of honest.

Oh, this one looks like

they're in a big fight!

Aw, no wait. They're Lady and

the tr*mp-ing a Granny Smith.

(GIGGLES)

Dr. Kamealoha.

So there's this live poetry reading

at the State Library tomorrow,

if you're interested.

Yeah!

I mean, maybe.

Okay, think on it, then.

Oooh.

Doogie!

I think he's into you.

What? (BLOWS RASPBERRY)

Please.

Girl, come on, she's

in love with Walter.

Lahela, do you really

see yourself at 30,

listening to Boardshorts Wally yammer on

about how he wants to build

a skate ramp in Auntie's yard?

He's not just a skater surfer

dude. There's more to him than that.

Yes, Walter's like the little

black dress of boyfriends.

He's cute, he is versatile,

and you can take him anywhere!

I mean, he'd say yes to a poetry

reading if you asked, right?

A hundred percent.

Okay, as we buy fruit for the baby

shower, you practice talking story.

Yeah.

Play it nice and cool.

Fanny pack?

I'm good.

Okay. Now remember, the goal today is

- Always be being.

- Always be being. Got it.

- (BOTH LAUGHING)

- Let's farm this market.

Cookie cakes! Come and

get your cookie cakes!

- Cookie cakes!

- MAN: No, thank you.

Dang it.

Cookie cakes!

- KAI: Nice and hot.

- There's a nice vendor I can talk to!

Cookie cakes! Come and

get your cookie cakes!

Ones you grew with

your body don't count.

- Oh.

- Good luck, son!

Come and get 'em!

I promise they do not suck!

Cookie cakes!

BRIAN: Trouble moving inventory?

(QUIRKY MUSIC)

Dude, did you made cookie cakes?

You can barely toast pizza bagels.

I repackaged the brownies from Foodland.

700 percent markup!

Where'd you get the sign?

And why is my name on it? And my face?

Alliteration. And you're

easy on the peepers.

Is that your confirmation suit?

Dress for success!

Paper's my religion now.

Hey, there's still time to

climb aboard the profit train.

Forty-nine percent ownership work?

No.

This place is about

supporting farmers and

the sacred rule of

one sample per person.

I can't believe I actually

wanted to work with you.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I'm a little nervous.

I'm so bad at small talk.

Relax and focus on

eye contact and smiles.

Eyes and teeth. Show horse!

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

(CLEARS THROAT)

- Hey there!

- Hey!

So, five pounds of mangos, please.

- All right.

- And, um, where are you from?

Oh, you know, originally

outside Denver

(QUIRKY MUSIC)

Okay, good start with Mango Ken, but

now we add a follow-up question, yeah?

Stay engaged.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

Aloha! (CHUCKLES)

Oh, these avocado look

amazing! (CHUCKLES)

So, how are things going today?

You always want more people, right?

Oh, not at a hospital.

It usually means a

multi-car pileup, so

Have you ever been in an accident?

And the finishing touch touch.

Physical contact.

It lets people know you've heard them.

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

Hit me with seven papayas, my good man!

(LAUGHS)

So, how long you been at this?

Oh, gosh, three years now?

Oh, great! And what did you do before?

I was up in the prison

for stealing a Harley.

(GRUNTS)

Yeah.

Hey! Sorry, you had to wait again.

No worries. I made some

progress with Big Mo!

Turns out, we're both

distant relatives of The Rock.

Oh.

So, I was thinking, maybe we

try something new tomorrow.

Like, a poetry read?

(LAUGHS)

Sorry. I thought you were kidding.

Um, you know, I'd love to,

but Spyder and I are gonna wear

GoPros and skate the dead mall.

You should come! We're

gonna grind down the old

Seriously?

I mean, is that what you

wanna do with your life?

Uh, I don't know. I guess I

haven't really thought about it.

Yeah, that's the problem.

I didn't realize that

there was a problem.

Look, I'm sorry that I didn't plan

out my life at the age of seven,

or however old you were in 11th grade.

Code Blue. I gotta go.

(SOMBER MUSIC)

- (CHUCKLES)

- Okay, baby shower time!

I'll assemble pop-up tents,

you be your amazing self

and win employee recs.

Always be being.

Yeah. You were great

at the farmers' market.

I just hope nine cubic feet

of fruit salad is enough.

(BOTH LAUGH)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Oh, my!

Hi! Benny, Dr. Hannon, welcome!

Hi, Jenny! Where is everyone?

Oh, god, was there a tsunami warning?

Oh, no, no!

Grace and I wanted to keep it small.

Just family, you know?

- Family?

- Family.

Benny's always been so nice

to me, he's practically ohana.

Practically ohana.

Oh, that's so sweet.

Could you just give us one sec?

Just wanna talk for a sec, yeah.

(LAUGHS)

This is like the world's

smallest baby shower!

I kinda hope she goes into labor

because, at least then,

there'd be more people here.

Come on, this'll be fun.

Benny, it's her family and us.

That's a little weird!

See, this is the problem with

your "always be being" mentality.

We end up in these awkward situations.

What's awkward about a baby shower

with just the couple's parents

and the guy they buy shave ice from?

(GROANS) I have so much work to do,

and I wasted all that time

at the farmers' market.

BENNY: You weren't wasting time!

You were putting out good vibes

so that it comes back to you!

Positive energy?

Okay, I'll try it.

Great, I'll go get the tents.

Okay.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

WOMAN: her barky

sinews anchor to soil,

pulling down, down, down.

Until deafening silence.

(APPLAUSE)

Hey, thanks for bringing me.

I don't usually do stuff like this.

(BOTH CHUCKLE SOFTLY)

So, I'm in the middle of my

college application process,

and it's (CHUCKLES)

…intense.

You know, I was thinking that a letter

from the world's only teen doctor

would really help me get over the top?

Cool.

Here, I already wrote something up.

You're gonna do is

sign at the sticky tab.

WOMAN: the

beginning of a new day

Whoa. I'm not gonna sign

something I haven't read.

Or actually wrote.

(APPLAUSE)

What's the big deal?

I mean, in what way am

I not an integral part

of the hospital ecosystem?

- MAN: Ice, ice, some ice!

- (PHONE BUZZES)

LAHELA: It's the hospital.

There's an emergency with Glenn.

I'm really sorry, I gotta go.

Can you drive me?

Now? Yeah, I would, but

he's my favorite poet.

- So

- (SCOFFS)

Well, I have a patient who needs me.

MAN: Rock. Rock rock!

(GRUNTS)

Every rideshare car is

over 20 minutes away!

God, I hate tourists.

(DEEP SIGH)

Walking's for dopes

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

Ma'am! Ma'am!

I'm commandeering your skates

for a medical emergency.

A life is on the line!

(LIVELY MUSIC)

Oh! Sorry. Sorry.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(LIVELY MUSIC CONTINUES)

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- (WOMAN YELPS)

MAN: Whoa.

(TIRES SCREECHES)

(ENGINE REVS)

(UPBEAT MUSIC)

(WHOOSHING)

The things I do for science.

(SOFT CHUCKLE)

Hmm. Yum.

Well, these mangos are outstanding.

Oh, thank you! I got them

at the farmers' market.

The guy, Ken?

He grew up in Denver. (CHUCKLES)

- Oh, I love Colorado!

- Oh.

I'm actually a big skier.

That's my go-to fun fact

for Two Truths and a Lie.

- (BOTH LAUGH)

- What, skiing? How'd you get into that?

My mom's from the mainland,

and we would always go visit my

grandparents in the Pocono Mountains.

- In Pennsylvania?

- I'm from Philly!

- (SOFT CHUCKLE)

- When someone went missing,

they would always find the

body in Big Pocono State Park!

- It's amazing!

- What?

Small world!

(BOTH LAUGH)

I be being.

I'm sorry. I know we don't get

to talk much at the hospital,

but did Benny say you're

going for Chief of Staff?

Yes, I am. Yeah.

Would it be okay if I recommended

you to the other nurses?

What? Of course!

I would be honored!

Oh, I know you'd be great!

Benny always says how amazing

you are when we talk story.

You know, you're always

so busy at the hospital.

It's really nice to see

this other side of you.

Aw. (SOFT CHUCKLE)

It's funny because this

is the only side I see.

And I love it.

(CLARA LAUGHS)

Glenn is out of surgery

and doing very well.

Textbook thrombectomy.

Cleared that clot right out.

He'll be up and kissing in no time.

Thank you, doctor.

Good work, Doogie.

I don't actually want to

see them necking again,

but it's comforting to know they can.

So, how'd it go with Anthony?

(SIGHS) Terrible.

I mean, he made a library no fun.

Maybe Walter and I don't

share any interests,

but Anthony's only interest is himself.

Excuse me.

Really, dear. Thank you.

- I was so afraid I'd lose him again.

- Again?

Glenn was my first love.

But we went our separate

ways, lived different lives.

We only just recently

reconnected online.

Let me guess, on the Facebook?

On Hot2Trot.

It's like Tinder but for seniors.

And way more aggressive.

But thank God we found each other again.

Because there's no one else in

the world I'd rather be with.

And when you find that, you hold on.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

I'm both grossed out and wanna cry.

I just (SOBS)

And she (GASPS)

I need some air. (SIGHS)

(CHARLES SOBS)

Anthony wouldn't even

drive me to the hospital.

But Walter would wait all day

(SCOFFS)

just to see me for 15 minutes.

I think I blew it.

LAHELA: I shouldn't

have been so hard on him.

No.

I blew it.

I got in your head.

What?

God, it must be so hard

to be 16 and a doctor.

And you never let on. (SOFT CHUCKLE)

And (SIGHS)

Yeah.

I wanted to be a big sister to you,

- and

- (CHUCKLES)

I just ended up dumping

all my love baggage on you.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

(CHUCKLES)

Isn't that kinda what big

sisters are supposed to do?

(BOTH LAUGH)

Plus, I mean, if Bonnie

found love 65 years later

(SCOFFS)

then there's hope for us, too.

(CHUCKLES)

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

Yeah, there's always hope

when it comes to love.

Just ask Walter.

(GENTLE MUSIC)

Lahela, I bailed on skating

the mall with Spyder.

I've been texting you all day.

I'm so sorry for lashing out at you.

I just, I didn't know what to say

when you asked what I

wanted do with my life.

No, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have put that on you.

It's great that you love

having fun with your crew.

That's high school.

It's just hard for me sometimes

because my life's been so different.

Brought a plate of continental

cured meats to a skate park.

That plate was everything!

I mean, you got Goofy J. to

eat, like, ten toothpicks!

(CHUCKLES)

I do love how determined you are.

I mean, my dream's

being paid to surf.

I don't even know

if that's a real thing,

but I love that you care about

what I wanna do with my life.

Because I want to share it with you.

I love you, Lahela.

I love you, too.

(ROMANTIC MUSIC)

Okay, you believe in love.

Say it.

- Fine.

- (LAUGHS)

I knew it!

So you think I should get

back together with Trent?

I think we find you a new Trent.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Sorry.

(BOTH GIGGLE)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

You're not selling Brian Patrick

Presents Kai's Cookie Cakes?

Nah, the vendors weren't very welcoming.

Based on the body part they

spray-painted on my sign.

Here.

We shook hands, so I owe you

50 percent of all my profits.

Enjoy your clogs. Or clog.

This is only gonna cover one.

Sweet.

You know, you're all right, BP.

A little off, but you're all right.

Wait, Mom, are you going in?

We're going in. (EXHALES DEEPLY)

Don't wait up.

(BOTH GROAN)

As a doctor, you learn all there

is to know about the human body.

How blood flows, how muscles contract,

how the ileocecal valve can fail

and allow colonic reflux

to overwhelm the sphincter.

Sorry, I'm on my GI rotation

and it is fascinating!

But what's harder to figure

out is how two people,

who seemingly have nothing

in common, can fall in love.

(SOFT CHUCKLE)

But when you're in it,

and you hear those words

for the first time

(SOFT CHUCKLE)

…it's the most amazing

feeling in the world.
