Mercy s01e13 Episode Script

Hey, Nick, Did you find my other glove? Uh, no.
All right, well, never mind.
I got to go.
You said it was freezing outside.
Yeah, well, it's either find the glove or miss the bus.
And if I miss the bus, I miss the train, and then I'm an hour late to Short Hills like I was yesterday.
[knock at door.]
Hi, I'm Sarah.
This is Noah.
We just wanted to welcome you guys to the building.
Uh, I'm Nick.
This is Sonia.
Hi.
Good to meet you.
You guys are gonna love it here.
Lots of young couples.
Tons of kids.
Oh, my God, everybody that moves here gets pregnant within six months.
[phone ringing.]
Uh Sorry, guys.
I'm just--I'm late for work.
I got to run.
No problem.
Stop by sometime.
We're just down the hall.
Hello? Sure.
Nice to meet you.
Hey, Nick, have you seen my keys? Your driver's downstairs.
My what? Huh.
Shut up.
Who sends a car for their nurse? [distant phone rings.]
Hey.
Oh, hi.
Uh, what are you doing in here? Do you need something? No, I'm just-- I'm hiding.
Why? I went over to Chris' apartment last week, and I threw myself at him.
Oh.
How did that go? Well I'm in here crouched on the ground, and he's out there with his cute girlfriend.
So not good, then.
He said no.
He looked me up and down, and he said, "no, thank you.
" Hi, I'm Dr.
Briggs.
They have a kitten together.
I'm still talking, actually.
It's my first day here.
I'm trying to check some labs can you believe that? But I.
T.
hasn't given me a password yet.
Can I use yours? No.
The kitten's name is mcat.
Isn't that cute? Their whole life is cute.
But you're cute too.
Again, still talking.
Still without a password.
Look, I hate to interrupt what is undoubtedly a profoundly important conversation, But I need to check a cbc and coags.
I promise I won't edit your match.
com profile.
My match dot Oh, because I'm a nurse, And I mess around on the computer all day, and I have a sad personal life.
Well Chloe.
Okay.
I have never seen you before in my life.
You don't even have an I.
D.
I am not going to give you access to everybody's medical records just because you say you're a doctor, which, by the way, you should know I'm now having doubts about, because you're acting so weird.
What's your name? Veronica Agnes Callahan.
Joe Briggs.
Funny story, I'm the new Chief of the I.
C.
U.
Thanks for all your help.
You can use my password.
It's labradoodle.
Too late, collaborator.
See you met the new boss.
Made your usual, wonderful first impression, I'm sure.
I didn't do anything.
It was her--it was all her.
And thank you.
I am now screwed.
Helen, how about a memo saying we've got a new boss? Who is he? Uh, he's supposed to make a boatload of money for the hospital.
We'll see.
Isn't he a little young to be such a hotshot? No.
We're just underachievers, honey.
Got a 35-year-old woman, moderate hypothermia.
Hiker found her comatose in the woods with a pressure of 100 over 60.
What's her core temp? Jeez.
We got her up to 93 with heated o2, warm saline, and the bear hugger.
She a surgical patient? Just, uh, consulting.
Second-degree frostbite.
She could use a little debridement, but no need for amputation.
Good to hear.
Hang another liter of saline.
I'll update the vitals.
Hey, Beth.
Beth, can you hear me? No, mind leaving that on? It's gonna help you breathe.
I'm Dr.
Chris Sands.
You're at Mercy Hospital.
We're warming you up.
You're gonna be fine.
My son.
What about your son? He's still out there.
Please.
Still out where? In the woods.
Call search and rescue.
Please.
He's only eight years old.
Paramedics can't intubate kids without base contact.
I'll go.
I'll go with you.
We'll find him.
# move forward, fall back # # life is like that # # and we're just getting started # # one thing's for sure # # ain't no remedy # # if you want to get right # # then you better get right with me # # hey, hey # # if you want to get right # # then you better get right with me # # better get right with me # [siren wailing.]
You got the peds airway bags? Can we talk about the gigantic elephant in the ambulance? What? The fact that I came over to your house like a total ass and declared my love.
Oh, yeah, that was awkward.
Okay.
I'm sorry I put you in an awkward position by being honest about my feelings And putting my balls on the line.
Are you okay, Chris? What do you want me to do? One second you're pushing me away.
The next second you're at my house with a boom box over your head.
Do you think it's easy For me to be vulnerable like that? No, I think it probably takes three or four shots of vodka.
Right.
Okay.
I'm an alcoholic.
That's fine.
Take the easy shot.
You told me to move on.
Told me many times, in a mean tone of voice, So I have.
You want to go get the kid, or what? Sure.
[helicopter blades whirring.]
We found the abandoned ranger station where the mother says she left her kid.
His backpack is there and a telescope.
No sign of the boy? I think he set out on his own this morning.
My men found some tracks.
[cheering.]
That's very sweet.
I'm not sure if she can hear, But I thought the familiar sounds might help her feel better.
It's a great idea.
How is she? Well, her--her blood gas is improving.
And her lungs? You should really talk to her doctor about that, But it seems things are looking up.
One more week.
Can't wait to get her off all these machines.
I know they look scary.
But kids with H1N1, they're really responding well to the ecmo.
She's almost there.
So I am a man.
I have, uh, curly hair, like a man poodle.
I can dance.
Craig? What are you doing here? Uh, I, um I was just--I was playing a game with my new friend Sid over here.
Second clue, then.
Um, I'm in the movies, but I'm mostly known for being a popular singer.
Vic Damone.
How the hell should I know? How are you doing? I'm doing good, you know? Cher's funeral was-- was really beautiful, And, um, people have been, like, super supportive.
Are you hanging around the hospital because you're having difficulty saying good-bye? What? No.
No, I'm just--I'm just gonna finish up this game with Sid, who's never gonna get it.
Justin Timberlake.
That is, actually, the right answer.
Bye.
Okay, Sid.
I wish I was in a coma.
Angel, do you remember that guy, Craig, whose wife died? He's still hanging around the hospital.
He's a lost soul.
People can't leave the place where their wife or grandma or whatever died.
We get 'em all the time.
Sad.
That's sad? I have to go disimpact some guy who hasn't pooped in a week.
What about me? [sighs.]
Lauren? Lauren? What are you doing down there? They say you should never smoke in bed.
Let me help you up.
Why? I'm comfortable.
I'm just going to finish my cigarette.
Well, let me get your wheelchair for you.
Where is it? Tipped over by the bathroom door.
Do you need to go to the bathroom? No.
But I will need a fresh change of underwear.
That's no problem.
Okay.
Okay, ready? Easy.
Easy.
Good? Yes.
Okay.
Lift up the knees.
Ready? Yep.
I think it's time to repaint.
I don't know how I ever got talked into this color.
Maybe wallpaper this time.
Wallpaper's good.
Maybe just on one wall.
Yeah.
That's good.
Lift.
Okay.
Something floral.
Flowers are cool.
I like flowers.
All of a sudden, The steering just went totally weird on me.
Well, yeah.
You got a bent tire rod.
You go over a rock or something? Uh, yeah.
A rock.
Or, you know, someone's bike.
Um, can you fix this, or what? Because my brother is going to kill me.
This is your brother's car? Dude, I told you I spent last summer in a tepee.
How would I be able to afford this thing? Let me tell you how you should have opened the conversation.
"hey, Mike, it's Simone.
I need some help fixing my brother's car.
" And then I go, "yeah, good luck with that.
" Click.
Which is why I didn't mention it earlier.
You know what? It's fine.
I'll take care of it.
I owe you one.
What are you talking about? Well, give me a push.
Oh.
Took your advice on that vision quest or whatever.
Only made it as far as Atlantic City, but let's just say that the Gods smiled on me.
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Well, how big of a smile? Pretty big.
I'll fix this later.
Come on.
I'll take you to work, tell you how it went down.
Yeah, um, about work, I, uh Did you get fired or something? Well, you know, "fired" sort of implies this whole, like, power struggle thing that I'm really not into, but whatever.
You know, Jamie is this total stress case, and to tell you the truth, I think he's looking to sell Delaney's.
You're kidding me.
Also, I was late every day.
Come with me.
Okay.
Where are we going? To get your job back.
Eli! What? Oh, my God.
Over here! Cyanotic.
No spontaneous respirations.
Bagging on 15 liters.
No pulse.
Let's get some blankets on him.
Starting compressions.
Code three to Mercy.
Think he's got a chance? No.
Give it a shot anyway.
Let's go.
Need a core temp.
Get me a portable chest now.
How long was he down? We don't know.
Let me take over.
Okay.
On my count.
One, two, three.
Pupils are fixed and dilated.
Core temp is 74.
Surface warmers aren't gonna touch him.
We need to rewarm the core.
The core.
Do you want ecmo? Call the I.
C.
U.
Put a 14 french in the I.
J.
I need ecmo to the E.
R.
Eli! What's happening? Is he gonna be okay? They're gonna put him on heart-lung bypass to warm his blood.
We'll go out the jugular and into the carotid.
Morning.
Hey.
Looks like you had a fun night.
Depends on your definition of fun.
Uh, took some clients to dinner.
And then we went to this after-party in the meatpacking district, and then as I'm leaving, I run into these jackasses I know from Harvard.
Then Okay, yeah, I guess it was a pretty fun night.
And to think some of us Have to work when we go to work.
So that happened.
I know what you're thinking, but don't worry, because it's not cocaine.
It's actually heroin.
That's hilarious.
Your mom had a fall this morning.
What? Is she okay? She's fine.
Well, where were you? Well, I wasn't on shift yet.
The question is: Where were you? Look, it's none of my business if you're partying, but if you're gonna be here, you got to be here.
I am here.
[easy rock music.]
All right, thanks.
# # # people have forgotten # # this thing called love # So is he gonna rehire me? No.
No.
I am.
I'm buying the bar.
Seriously? Just like that? No, not just like that.
I got to put in an offer, go through escrow.
Do you live in the world, or what? Well, I create my own reality.
Well, today I created your reality, Because Jamie's gonna give you your job back until the deal goes through.
So try not to burn the place down.
This is crazy.
You-- You just bought a bar.
I had a sign.
When I was in Atlantic City, The name of my blackjack dealer was Delaney.
Oh, get out.
I swear to God.
So this all happened because of me? Well, I think I deserve a raise.
Mm-hmm.
Venous line's in.
I got a second liter primed.
Hey, it's nurse indignant.
Somebody call for ecmo? We did.
Kid's got a core temperature in the 70s.
Cardiac arrest for at least two hours.
Ecmo's his only shot.
Well, then he's out of luck.
We only have two machines.
One's in a preemie, Other one's an eight-year-old girl, respiratory failure.
Swine flu.
How long's she been on ecmo? Two weeks.
I went over her labs.
Her last gas was good, But she's not out of the woods.
Well, can she come off it for three hours? Off the record, I think she'll be fine.
Then let's ask her parents.
We can't just let this kid die.
You want to have that conversation? I don't.
Okay, then the kid dies.
Where's the cafeteria? I'm starving.
We have to try.
I'll talk to them.
You mind if I come with you? Just to keep up the appearance that doctors actually run this hospital? We are not risking our daughter on some million-to-one shot.
We just need to give this boy a fighting chance.
Well, I'm sorry.
That's just not gonna happen.
What's going on? They want to take Kylie off the machine And give it to someone else.
It's only for a little while.
This is Eli's only chance.
Are you sure that's such a good idea? Chloe.
We're just exploring all of our options here.
Okay, well, she has to be on the machine for another week.
I mean, that's crazy.
Okay, excuse me.
If I may, I'd like to offer a solution.
I could perform a bronchoscopy-- Insert a flexible telescope into Kylie's lungs, and instill recombinant dnas to break up the mucus.
Not only can Kylie come off ecmo, but her lungs should resume almost normal function eithin two hours.
Then why the hell didn't anybody tell us about this before? Because I wasn't here before.
It's my first day.
And the treatment is somewhat unconventional.
Unconventional.
So is she better off with the machine? Ecmo is a fine option, but it does come with bleeding complications.
I think this is a better way to go.
If you got a solution, why didn't you just say so? You set me up in there.
No, no, no, you actually set me up, which is why it worked so brilliantly.
You see, if you hadn't terrified and alienated them first, they never would have been open to my actually more radical solution.
We're like Fred and Ginger.
If Ginger was an angry, bitter nurse.
Is this actually gonna work? Hope so.
Hey, come on.
No nagging.
You're better than that.
She's not, but you are.
Look alive, girls.
Day just got interesting.
[machine beeping.]
Looks pretty good down there.
Almost as good as new.
[machine beeping loudly.]
Oxygen saturation is low.
Bag her up.
Do you want me to call the E.
R.
to check the status of the ecmo? I want you to bag her.
Sats are still down.
Give the surfactant a chance to work.
You should never have given up the ecmo before you knew this was gonna work.
If you're gonna be in here hopping from foot to foot, I can't use you.
Can we at least get the oscillating ventilator for backup? If it'll make you happy.
But I bet you $50 million you don't need it.
[clicks pen.]
[loud beeping stops.]
[laughs.]
You owe me $50 million.
He's still so cold.
Well, that's--that's actually not a bad thing, Beth.
Cold is what slowed his metabolism and protected his organs.
If we warm him up slowly and get his heart started, there's a chance he'll be okay.
Lines are primed.
No bubbles.
Okay, stop the chest irrigation.
Unclamping.
Ecmo on.
Beth, Let's let the machine do its work now.
Angel will take you for your chest X-ray.
He's he's crazy about the stars, you know? Last night, Mars was in oppositi.
Eli wanted to see it, So we went out hiking with his telescope.
And I didn't know that it would get so cold.
And he fell on the ice and he sprained his ankle, and I tried to carry him, but he was so heavy, and and then we saw this ranger station, and and I thought that he'd be safer there.
So I wrapped him in my coat.
And I tried to make it back to the car, but I got lost, and I never should have left him.
Beth.
If you didn't go for help, You both could have died out there.
but he wouldn't have been alone.
I could have stayed with him and held him.
He is not gone.
He's still here.
And we're not giving up, okay? Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
What am I supposed to say? I have no wisdom to offer.
My wife died, I became hysterically paralyzed.
Clearly, I'm not qualified to be anybody's life coach.
Okay, well, I don't know what else to do.
I helped you, now you help him.
Pay it forward.
Craig, hey, um, so I thought you might like to talk to Dr.
Harris.
He's recently lost his wife as well.
Uh Yes, it's true.
I know what you're going through, Craig.
The loneliness.
The despair.
The suicidal ideation.
Indeed, many's the night I've dreamt that I'm lying there in the grave next to Yelena as they throw dirt over us like some strangely comforting blanket.
Exactly.
I've had that same dream.
Okay, this wasn't exactly what I had planned.
Do you find yourself Listening to the last message that she left you over and over again? Oh, my God, yes.
It's the normality of it that's so shattering.
Dan, I don't think you should focus on-- Mine's from before she got sick.
She called to remind me to pick up the dry cleaning.
Oh, dry cleaning.
Mine's milk.
It's her voice.
Just her voice saying everyday words, you know? I do.
Does it get better? Not so far.
Although, people are kind, The sun rises and sets, and occasionally I feel as though I have something to offer the world.
That's the best I can do.
Well, that's something.
[glam rock music playing.]
# soon it will be filled # # with parking cars # Hey.
I'm about to take off.
Do you need anything? # I love to watch things on tv # What am I looking at here, Lauren? You're looking at a woman who's fighting for her right to party, to paraphrase the Beastie Boys.
Which I can, because I'm very, very cool.
So that baggie of heroin in Paul's coat was for you? Don't blame Paul.
I nagged him for months before he gave in.
Back in the early '80s, I had quite a little habit.
Just to cope with Reagan, you understand.
Lauren, you can't self-medicate with street drugs.
If this is a pain-management situation, we can talk about that.
You wouldn't believe the parties I went to when I was your age.
One fourth of July, I threw firecrackers off a roof with John Belushi.
I didn't sleep for years, because I didn't want to miss an instant of it.
And then, one day, you turn around and that whole beautiful carpet has been rolled up.
And there's nothing behind you but a bare floor.
Like none of it ever happened.
So tell me can we manage that? # satellite # # oh ooh # # of love # So instead of, say, I don't know, chicken parmesan, you do a bite of chicken floating in a shot glass full of mozzarella foam.
Huh? I am telling you, it is all about molecular gastronomy in the restaurant world today.
Okay, well, in the real world [grunts.]
People like bread.
There.
Good as new.
Really? Wow.
That is amazing.
Thank you so much.
No problem.
So you want to go back to my place? You mean your brother's place? So your place then.
Wherever.
What? [sighs.]
Don't get me wrong, it's I'm tempted, But I'm trying to grow up a little here.
So what? You can't have a little fun? Oh, I can have fun.
Just not maybe with the sister of the guy who banged my wife.
You see my logic? It could be excellent revenge.
I'm well aware of that, Simone, but I'm gonna walk away.
Okay.
You're a good dude, Callahan.
[chuckles.]
You got a fine v-fib.
Do you want to shock? Not until 88.
What do you think? Can we bring him back? I think that there's nothing in this world As strong as an eight-year-old heart.
Kylie sailed through her bronch like a champ.
That's great news.
How's popsicle boy? You guys need a hand? I'd be happy to take over.
We're good.
Thanks.
You know even if you get his heart back, there's a good chance his squash is toast.
Hey, you're talking about a child, all right? Well, at least you get indignant about something other than the sanctity of your computer password.
How much do we hate that guy? Just stay focused.
[machine beeps.]
Core temp's 88.
Get the paddles.
If we can start his heart, we're halfway there.
Charging 100.
Yeah.
Clear.
Still fib.
Try 200.
Come on, Eli.
Clear.
Come on.
[machine beeping.]
there it is.
We got a flyer.
Now what happens? We wait.
See if he wakes up.
Love it.
Love that one.
I do.
How long has it been since you wore this? College.
Bye-bye.
So at first I thought the drugs were for him.
It turns out he was getting them for his mom.
She was sitting there, High as a kite on heroin.
Oh, yeah, I said heroin.
The big "h".
Smack.
Dope.
Why--why is no one reacting to this? I'm sorry.
I'm just a little distracted by my situation.
I was with Chris.
No.
Sonia, please finish your story.
I'd like to hear the rest of how the crazy rich lady from Short Hills was chasing the dragon.
Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
That's pretty much it.
Rich people are weird.
Whatever.
What's going on with Chris? So I brought up the other night, And he totally shot me down.
What is that about? [stifled laugh.]
Chloe, you been sitting over there making judgy noises for, like, a half an hour.
What's the problem? Me.
Me? I'm your problem? I'm holding up the mirror so that you can look at yourself.
My patient almost died.
You can't take my patient off life support just to give it to your patient who has less than a 1% chance.
You just don't do that.
And you do things all the time, like, you just do whatever you want, and you just don't think about other people.
It's very frustrating! Really? You're using props now? Yes.
Look, it was a tough choice.
No, it wasn't.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
I just I just I couldn't not do anything.
The kid's mother was right there.
I couldn't give up.
Just so you know, the thing with Chris, it's the same.
You're not even remotely looking at his point of view.
You're mean to him for months, and then all of a sudden you're like, "oh, hey, I'm Veronica," And you expect him to come running? Really? Really? Why did you come over if you hate me so much? I don't hate you so much.
I just had pent up anger.
Deal with it.
I'm done.
I'd like to watch Project Runway now.
You wouldn't have gotten that talking to if you would have pretended to be interested in my heroin story.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, give me that.
You bitches can suck it.
Hey, Jillian.
So I heard you stopped by Chris' the other night.
Yeah, yeah.
I was a little tipsy, so, you know.
Whew.
That seems to be your excuse for a lot of things.
Okay, I guess I deserve that.
But you were the one who basically gave me the go-ahead, so So you went ahead.
And he wasn't interested, and it's time to move on.
Come on, Eli.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Is that a new medical technique? You gonna nag him awake? It's been 18 hours, and he still hasn't woken up.
Doesn't necessarily mean anything.
But it would be better if he were awake by now.
Then we'd know if his brain's coming back.
Come on.
You know, a watched kid never boils.
Hey, come on.
Let's take a walk.
I got a better idea.
Are you ready? In my defense, I have actually been out of the hospital before.
I just What am I gonna do out there? Well, I'm gonna go get a burger at Delaney's.
Do you want to come with me? Okay.
Okay.
Here we go.
It's gonna be easy.
We're inside and now we're outside.
Ah, yes, we are.
And it is freezing.
Let's go eat.
All right.
All right.
Hey.
Come on.
Horse.
You and me.
Like the old days.
All right.
I'm gonna destroy you.
What do you say we make it interesting? Okay, how about, uh Case of beer? How about you and me? I win, we get back together for real.
How about a case of imported beer? And if you win, I will leave you alone.
And we can be friends or colleagues or whatever.
Deal? All right.
Just get ready to be friends.
Ha! Ah.
Oh! That's an "h".
It's cold out here.
I'm getting warmed up.
Uh-huh.
Ooh.
Is that a regulation ball? [upbeat music.]
# # Ah.
Ugh.
Oh.
Let me see.
Let me see.
Let me-- [laughter.]
Can't defend me.
It's horse.
# love is a game # # for two to win # From the middle.
[mutters.]
# come on, now # # take a run at the sun # [laughs.]
# play this game # # games can be fun # Okay.
Let me remind you, you got h-o-r-s.
Been an excellent competitor.
Your prognosis is not very good.
Would you like to give up, and you know, I better get serious.
That's a ridiculous shot.
Mm-hmm.
No.
[laughs.]
So make it.
# everybody's gonna die # # have some fun while you're alive # Remember Dubai? What? Yes.
Cheap way to try to win a game.
Who said this was a game? That three-day leave in Dubai was the best three days of my entire life.
Oh, and by the way, we're tied.
Yeah.
Admit it, Chris.
You've never wanted somebody to make a shot so bad in your entire life.
[pager beeps.]
Eli's awake.
To be continued.
[machine beeping.]
Okay, that tube needs to stay in to help your lungs heal.
Okay, little buddy? You won't be able to talk for a while, but I'll be right here.
Eli, can you tell me what two plus two is? Very good.
Go ahead.
Ask him something else.
How many stars are in Orion's sword? He's gonna be okay.
Wow.
Is it true that you saved a little girl with swine flu so Eli could have this machine? It's what we do.
Thank you.
I'm gonna write this case up for publication.
I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna let you be second author.
Who knows? It might even give you an actual career.
Okay.
Come on.
This is a great idea.
Thanks.
No problem.
I think you're gonna be okay.
I know, I know.
It--it'll be good.
No, it'll be great.
'cause today the first day of the rest of my life.
Anything could happen, you know? You okay? You look a little you have really beautiful eyes.
Excuse me? Mm! Oh, my God.
Craig, what-- what are you doing? I'm sorry.
That--that was wrong.
I'm--uh, I'm drunk.
We've only had, like, two beers.
Dr.
Harris gave me these pills for my anxiety, and I took a couple.
They're really taking the edge off.
Would have been good to know that before I took you drinking.
Why don't we just get you out of here? Let's get you a cab, okay? Come on.
Oh, God.
I feel like such an idiot.
That was so inappropriate.
[sighs.]
It's--it's fine.
Let's just not talk about it, okay? All right.
Okay.
Mm! What are you doing? I don't--I don't know.
What is wrong with me? My dead wife would be so mad.
No, I'm--I'm sure she'd understand.
But that window where you're allowed to do all the weird stuff, it's rapidly closing, okay? So just-- Just go wait outside, And I'll call you a cab.
Go.
Bye.
It is cold out here.
What are you doing? What's it look like I'm doing? Golfing.
I guess I jumped to conclusions before.
It's ironic, you know? I mean, when I was younger, I did every drug known to man.
Mom was always on my ass, because she was so militant about being sober.
Now I'm scoring for her.
It's very, very dangerous.
I know that.
But she's my mom, and she asked me.
And she's never asked me for anything in my life, so what am I supposed to do? Look, your relationship with her is gonna change.
You're gonna have to start taking care of her now.
Now, look, tomorrow I'm gonna show you how to get her in and out of her wheelchair.
Okay? Okay.
[quietly.]
bye.
Hey.
You want to try? No.
I got to get home.
And I don't golf.
And it's freezing.
Come on.
Just one.
[sighs.]
Fine.
Just one.
There you go.
Now you're golfing.
Now give me one more.
No, really, come on.
It's cold.
Here.
Come on.
Give me your left hand.
This is ridiculous.
Right there.
Take your right hand.
Like that? Oh.

# # # keep it simple, say it slow # Well I gave it my best shot.
Yeah.
# say it slow # # tell me things I ought to know # # like you love me # You know, I don't mean to be a sore loser, but the game was rigged.
First of all, you are taller than me, and you played in high school, and there were unfavorable weather conditions.
That's not rigged.
That's life.
That's not rigged.
That's life.
That is exactly my point, Chris.
Life is rigged.
I mean, you show up here just as I am trying to get my marriage back together, so I try and do the right thing, and then you just happen to meet this totally awesome girl, who, P.
S.
, I love.
Plus I am actually a really fun girl when I am not half out of my mind with ptsd, And all I really want is to get back to those three days in Dubai with you, because I love you.
But it's not gonna happen.
Plus, I-- # say it slow # # tell me things I ought to know # # keep it simple, say it slow # # tell me things # I didn't get to finish my speech.
Yeah, I just thought you were talking for a really long time.
# like you always will #
