Enamel is formed by what cells?

-Ameloblasts.
-Bang!

-Correct.
-Okay.

-After central, before canine?
-Um, lateral incisor.

-You go, girl.
-Wow. Wow.

-Dentistry seems hard.
-Yeah, it's rough.

I look at someone's face now,
and all I see is teeth

-and what can go wrong with them.
-Oh.

-Okay, it's 1:00, so you gotta go.
-Okay, yes. Yes, yes, yes.

Okay. You've had coffee,
you've had water.

-Coffee.
-I've packed you a little snack.

Oh! Thanks, babe.

Mwah.

-See you guys. Thank you.
-Bye.

-Good luck.
-Thanks.

What a woman.

-Samy, you're so supportive.
-It's crazy. I'm like good at boyfriend.

You guys ever been good
at something? It's awesome.

-Okay, I got hash browns and bacon...
-Thank you. It looks good.

-...pancakes...
-Oh, my God. Delish!

-Thank you.
-and some grilled cheese.

Vladi, you're a technician.

Oh. You think so?

Have you considered sushi?

I see this for you.
Raw is the new cooked.

And I have always said that.

I will think about it.

"Raw is the new cooked"?

Yeah.
That's something that I say.

Anton, you have to think
before you say sh*t.

Oh, my God. No one actually
cares what I'm saying, okay?

I'm just filling the silence.

Oh, Anton.
Oh, my God. I did it.

Oh!

-What is that?
-Remember? You said, "A bare thigh"

-is a wasted opportunity."
-thigh is a wasted opportunity. Yeah.

-Yeah.
-Yes, I remember that.

And I have always said that.

Mm-hmm.

I-I do fear that's
a little infected, my love.

It should not be so mossy.

You should probably cover it.
Yeah.

-Yeah, it's beautiful, though.
-It's gorgeous.

I'm so over this.

-What? The work stuff?
-Yeah.

"Dear sir.
Yours faithfully." Billie.

Come on. This is why you can't
use AI to write your networking emails.

-What? I wrote this.
-Oh.

Why do people keep saying that
about the things that I write?

God, this is so annoying. I
mean, it's been, like, three months

and I haven't even gotten
an informational.

It sucks.

What do you think I should do?

Me? Oh, no, sorry.
No, I don't... I don't give advice.

-What?
-It's too much responsibility.

Unless it's like,
"You go, girl."

But where you go,
that's totally up to you.

Okay, Paul Baker,
you've got like six jobs.

Can you help me get one?

Okay, fine.

Okay,
I would add more personality.

Like... Like spice it up a little bit.

Well, I did spice this one up.
I said, "Yours in service."

-Yeah, it's not spice.
-It's a little spicy.

-That's not spicy.
-Hey, guys.

-Oh, hey.
-Hey.

How was the Endo midterm?
Was it good?

-You ace it?
-Um. Oh, yeah. Good. I'm glad it's over.

-I-I have something to tell you.
-Okay.

Or, actually, everyone's here,
so I'll tell everyone.

Okay, everyone. Guys.
Carly has an announcement.

-Sit, sit.
-Sit?

-Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Oh, my God.

I think we got an interview
at Stony Brook.

We got a real shot there
for residency.

-"We"?
-Ah! Okay. I'm nervous.

Um, I've decided to...

...get into music.

-Aw!
-Yeah!

I know it sounds weird, right?

I feel like
I just maybe need an outlet.

I-I feel like I'm 25 already, right?
Like, I'd regret it if I didn't try it.

-Yeah.
-Yes, Issa.

I took voice lessons
for eight years.

Great.

So, um, wait.

You guys wanna hear
my first single?

-There's a single?
-Yeah.

I'm just hearing about this,
and there's already a single.

-Yes.
-Yeah!

-Yeah, man.
-Yeah!

So, the-the song, it's called "Hiccups,"
parentheses, "Body Go Crazy."

-Huh.
-Yeah, yeah.

Okay, I hope you don't hate it.

It's Carly.

thoughts and, you know,
feelings or reactions?

Well, I can...
I'll just start if that's all right.

-Jump in. Yeah. Go for it.
-Yeah, yeah.

If that's fine.
What genre was that?

-Mmm.
-Good question.

-Mmm.
-Yes.

Oh, um.
Well, it's K-pop.

-Wow.
-Duh.

-Obviously.
-Is Carly Korean?

She f*cking better be.

I'm... I'm just like... like...
like where did this come from?

Just because, like, I know you have
that little keyboard in your room, right?

So, did the little keyboard
do this?

No. I was actually talking
to Anton.

Sorry, Anton? Ha!

Hmm? Anton? Me?
I'm sorry, what did you say?

I was... I was somewhere. I
was still thinking about your song.

Remember, Anton,
I was saying yesterday that,

like, I don't know, should I
dream bigger than dentistry?

And then I told you that growing up,
my childhood dream was to be a singer.

And then you told me that

a dentist is just a singer who
hasn't grabbed a microphone.

-Oh.
-Hmm.

Well, okay.
I've always said... that.

Samy, come on. Be honest.

What do you think?

What do I think?

I think you're
going global, mama.

-What?
-Yep. Pop star.

Oh, my God.

-There she is!
-Yay!

You're going global, mama!

-Aah!
-Oh, my God!

Anton? Anton, can I talk to you
upstairs for a second?

-Upstairs?
-Please.

Why upstairs, Samir?

-I can connect you with people.
-It was really good.

-Like really... People.
-Oh, my God. Really?

Maybe not at your level, but
when you're at the next level.

-Ow. Ow, Samir!
-What did you do?

-What did you do?
-Okay, what?

So, she made a song, Samir. God
forbid a girl in her 20s has a dream.

Yeah, but I'm the boyfriend
who has to support that dream.

-Okay.
-Okay? Did you hear that song?

It sounds like
a stroke wrote it.

And by the way, why K-pop?
How did we get to K-pop?

Okay, I didn't specify K-pop,
for the record.

I don't know
where the K came from.

-Okay? Is she K?
-She's Filipina. She's F.

Can you do K if you're F?

-It's not that bad, Samir.
-It is that bad, Anton. Okay?

You turned my focused, stable
dentist girlfriend into a-a pop girlie.

We went to college with girls like
that. We made fun of girls like that.

Who's gonna go
to a pop-girlie dentist?

Just be honest with her, Samir.

You just said you're good
at boyfriend, right?

I'm good at back rubs and
putting little toppings in her yogurt.

I've never had to crush her
dreams, but still be a good guy,

but support her,
but don't support her.

Do you understand how
f*cking high-level this is? Okay?

It's like I'm good for Triple-A, and
you're sending me to the major leagues.

-Baseball?
-Baseball.

Samir, I know it's hard, okay?

But nothing tests a relationship
like a dream unexpected.

And I've always said that.

-Stop it.
-Ow, ow.

Stop just saying
sh*t. -Ow.

-Hi.
-Hey.

Okay, so I know that
you hate giving advice.

Mmm.

But I think
you might be incredible at it.

-Stop. You got a bite?
-Yeah!

Okay, so he's a consultant
at a think tank,

and he says
I can pick his brain.

Okay, let's f*cking go, Billie!

You're gonna pick
the sh*t out of it.

Wow.

-What?
-You just really, really spiced it up, eh?

-Yeah.
-Like a lot, though.

-What?
-You said "hey" with two Y's.

-Yeah.
-And then ended it in "he-he."

-What's wrong with "he-he"?
-"Ha-ha" is for work, "he-he" is for sex.

-What?
-Yeah. Oh, and the tongue emoji.

Well, no, that's
self-deprecating. That's like...

Or it's like...

Oh, no, no. So you think
he thinks it's a date?

I don't know. Maybe.

-What time did he say to meet?
-Seven o'clock.

Uh, that could go either way.
Is it drinks or dinner?

-Small bites.
-f*ck small bites. It's inconclusive.

So what do I do?
I-I-I can't not go, right?

I-I've got a fish on the line.

Yeah. But does the fish
want to hire you or f*ck you?

Oh, no.
I don't wanna f*ck a fish.

Yeah.

Speaking of fish, though.

Dragon roll with ranch?

Vladi's been experimenting.

Ugh. f*cking Anton.

I think maybe
it's because it's cardboard.

Okay, so, um...

Matt Brown's restaurant failed,

Katie Park has never sold
any of her jewelry line.

Did I just steer all
these people's lives to sh*t?

-Don't make that face.
-I'm not.

-You are. Don't make that face.
-I'm not making the face. I'm not.

Anton, it's not your fault.

Man, you're just one of those people
where everyone cares what you think.

It's true. Dude, I-I sure do.

-You do?
-Yeah.

Remember when you told me to
join the Homeowners Association?

-Ugh. No.
-What?

-Anton, I'm on the mulch committee.
-That's great.

Yeah,
that's definitely an A-sharp.

Is there any encouragement
you wanna offer me, Anton?

-Clean your glass? I-I don't...
-Anton.

You told...
Carly to be a singer

when here I am with this voice
and these t*ts?

Okay, Issa, please.

-Oh, please, what?
-Anton. Anton. Please, please.

-You have to help. You did this.
-Samir.

Look at me, I'm
a f*cking boom guy. All right?

This sh**t costs six grand. Okay?
That money should be for her tuition.

And they aren't even
sh**ting efficiently.

Oh, my God. She's not doing
any of her reading,

she's barely studied
for her prosthodontist exam.

T-That's bridges
and crowns, Anton.

Okay.

Oh. She's so sweet.
Her heart is so big.

I just don't want her
to get hurt or embarrassed.

Okay, so just tell her how
you feel about all this, man.

Oh, yeah, and then I'm the one
who's hurting and embarrassing her?

We've only been back together
for five months. All right?

That is not
dream-crushing territory.

Okay, Samir, you are
making this all about you.

This is about her and what she needs to
hear from someone who cares about her.

-Huh.
-Hey, baby.

We need an extension cord
for the fog machine.

sh*t.

Flying it in, babe.

Good luck.

-Oh, wait. Evan Gallagher.
-Hmm?

Tenth grade,
I told him to try UFC,

and now he's in a coma.

-Oh. Oh.
-Oh, God.

Boom, dude.
Roundhouse kick to the face.

You're okay.

-Hey.
-Hi.

-Oh, can I get some of that?
-Yeah. For sure.

-How did it go with that guy last night?

-Oh, with my informational?
-Yeah.

Oh, yeah, it was great. It was awesome.
And it very much was an informational.

-Good.
-So...

-Ooh.
-What?

You have a hickey.

-You have a hickey, Billie.
-No, no, no, no, no.

You know what happened,
actually?

Uh, I got punched in the neck.

-Yeah.
-By a cop.

-Billie.
-f*ck. Okay, fine.

He thought it was a date.

Okay, but I turned it
into an informational.

And then I f*cked him.

Billie! That's not good.

No, no, no, no.
Okay. It is good.

Do you know how hard it is
to make career connections?

And then apparently
people actually write back

-when they think that sex is on the table.
-Huh.

So I can have it all.

I'm having sex
and I'm networking.

-I'm sex-working.
-Oh.

-Oh, no.
-No.

Oh. I just got an email from the
VP of a medical sales company.

You wanna work in medical sales?

I could wanna work
in medical sales.

[♪♪ "Bye Bye" pla Wow. She really promoted
the sh*t out of this, eh?

-Yeah.
-A lot of merch.

She used the rest
of her tuition money, so...

-Oh.
-Yeah.

So this is my life now.

I'm a boom guy.

-Congrats.
-Yeah.

-Hi.
-Hey.

Hey, Billie.

I'm gonna go get
some of that yellowtail.

Oh, great. And when you're back, I wanna
hear more about your work-life balance.

Mmm.

-Billie.
-What?

-It was the only night he could do.
-Oh, my God.

And he's cute. And he's a CEO.

-Of what?
-Glue company.

You wanna work in glue?

-I could wanna work in glue.
-She could wanna work in glue.

Scott Ritger. How are you?

-Scott Ritger. Pleasure.
-Hi.

-Pleasure's mine, really.
-What was it, sorry?

-Your name? Nice to meet you.
-Scott. Ritger. Nice to meet you.

It's a pleasure.
You got a good handshake.

Can you guys just, like, hold it
down for me for a second here?

-No.
-I gotta... I gotta go check something out.

-Quick story.
-Oh.

-Delta Sky lounge. You ever been?
-No.

I don't know what's going on. It
was a zoo when I was there last time.

Hey. Hey. Hi. What's going on?

Hey. Um, I don't know.

-I'm feeling kind of crazy right now.
-Okay.

Can you be honest with me?

Is this, like, a big mistake?

Or, ugh, I think I'm just nervous
because my grandpa flew in.

-Oh.
-Yeah. He's 96.

My mom said this might be
the last thing he sees.

Mm-hmm. That's...
Wow. You know...

Yeah.

-What?
-Wow.

-Is it too much?
-No, I think it's just like...

It's like exactly what
I thought I was gonna see

-when I turned around.
-Okay, yay.

-Could you just give me one second?
-Okay.

I'll be right back, okay?
I'll be back.

Anton. Anton, I need your help.

-No, no help. No.
-Yes.

I've sworn off that, okay?

My powers are a curse,
my wreckage has been wrought,

etcetera and so forth. No.

Bro, I'm panicking, okay?

I'm trying to be supportive,
and it's not working.

This whole thing's gonna be
a f*cking sh*t show.

Sorry, Samir. My advice...
It's a disaster. So...

-Anton, her grandpa flew in.
-Great.

I brought a man
from the Philippines to die.

I can't give you what you need.

I am not asking you for a
f*cking quip or a whimsical motto.

That is not why I'm friends with
you. I wanna know what you think.

I wanna know
what you actually think.

What do I do?

Yeah, I'll be home
around 10:30. Okay?

Yeah, honey.
Sorry I missed dinner.

All right, I love you too. Bye.

Hey, Scott, quick question. Uh,
who the hell was that?

My wife, Christine.

-Your wife, Christine?
-You okay, Bills?

Uh. No, actually.

Scott "the pervert" Ritger
over here is married.

-Wow.
-Yeah.

And he was gonna f*ck me
like a sociopath

and then go home
to his loving wife, Christine.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa.
-Shame on you.

-Shame!
-Actually, you know what?

You're lucky this is empty.

Yeah. Good-bye, lottery ticket.

Are you out of your mind? I
wasn't gonna have sex with you.

I was here to offer you a job.

Your email made it sound like
this was a networking thing.

You even sent the little thing
with the tongue out on the side.

It's self-deprecating. That's
a work thing, not a sex thing.

...for this sh*t...

-Okay, so no more of that.
-Yeah, thank God.

You know,
I did learn a lot, though.

-Yeah?
-Yeah, like, uh...

Oh, did you know
that locksmiths get pensions?

You wanna be a locksmith?

-I could wanna be a locksmith.
-You go, girl.

-Carly.
-Hey, hey, hey.

-Hey.
-Whoa, what's wrong?

I'm sorry. I should've
said this to you already, but...

I do...

I do actually think
this might be a mistake.

What? What do you mean?

Look, I wanna be that guy that roots
for you in everything that you do, okay?

But, like, if any part
of you wants an out,

like, now's the time.
Like, tell me.

Like, we can figure it out. Hey,
I'll-I'll sh*t my pants on stage.

I'll sh*t my pants
everywhere for you.

But, like, if this is what you want,
like, this is what you truly want, then...

then I'll-I'll be here
for that. Okay?

Hey, I'll be your boom guy.

And I've always said that.

I just need a second.

-All right.
-Okay.

So that went horribly,
but I am crying.

Ladies and gentlemen,

-put your hands together for Carly.
-sh*t, stall, Anton.

-Please. Stall, please stall.
-Stall? Me, right now?

-Yes. Now, now.
-Okay, okay, okay.

Stay here. Okay, okay.

-Excuse me. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Issa.
-Mmm.

Issa, Issa, please.

I know you're mad at me, but
we really need you on that stage.

I'll do it.

Oh, my God, were you
wearing that the whole time?

Can you relax?
I'm a dance teacher.

Then why do you have
a microphone?

Because I was always
gonna sing at this.
