Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. (2021) s02e08 Episode Script

Previously on Doogie Kamealoha, MD.
What's there to teach? You
grab a girl and give her a twirl.
Mom, that is the
fourth unhoused person
we've turned away this week.
Look, I don't like it either.
But as Chief of Staff,
it's my job to balance the budget
and I have a board to answer to.
Now that you're my
girlfriend, I'm keeping you close.
Oh, we're adorable!
I already came up with our couple name.
You know, like "Brangelina," "Kimye."
All divorced.
The hottest fires burn the fastest.
Look at you, Miss Shiniest Resident.
Every department wants you to
pick them for your specialty.
I just wanna
choose what I'd be best at.
Girl, you're the
best at everything you do,
you're literally a child genius.
Do you know how hard it is
working with someone
who's never made a mistake?
I've no idea what
I want to do and it is
scary.
My advice is not to focus on
making the best choice.
Just follow what lights you up inside.
You have your whole life ahead of you.
Morning.
Wow. This is a lot of food.
Our drug rep dropped off breakfast.
I figured since Qwezeepin is
spelled out in smoked salmon.
I think we should put away
the lox before it goes bad.
Well, if it does, we can
always take Qwezeepin.
It is the number one
medication for nausea.
What? It's written in gold
leaf in the cream cheese.
Huh. I didn't know Dr. Lee
was all about them gains.
He measures his thighs every morning
and then records it in
his gratitude journal.
Did he feel especially muscle-y
when you were making out with him?
I hope you took Qwezeepin after.
Wait.
You guys know I kissed Dr. Lee?
Charles saw you two, and
then swore me to secrecy.
What? And then I heard
about it in the elevator
the next day from Nurse Jenny.
Oh, well, I may have told some of
the nurses and an imaging tech guy
and the parking lot guys, but just
the day ones, not the night ones.
Those guys cannot keep a secret.
I thought I was done with
high school drama when I was 7.
Were there sparks when
you made out with him?
Do you think you'll start dating?
No way. He's not boyfriend
material. He's not a serious guy.
Well, I bet he could be serious.
What's up, losers.
Why are you dressed like that?
I've been selected as a
finalist on The Bachelorette.
Working out a cool persona for the show.
Doctor Lee, Top Gun Surgeon.
I feel the need.
The need for speedy recovery. Whoo!
Where did you get that bomber jacket?
Oh. Our drug reps. Pretty dope, huh?
Oh, if you need any advice,
'cause I have seen every season
of The Bachelorette,
even the boring ones.
Just kidding. There are no boring ones.
Medical courier en route.
- I need to prep the OR.
- I'll go meet the van.
Go, go, go!
Oh, oh, oh.
Good job, Doogie.
Mr. DeMatteis is on the
table, prepped and ready.
What do we got? Kidney? Liver? Heart?
Butt.
Mr. DeMatteis is getting a brand
new, state-of-the-art badunkadunk.
Come on.
I wanted to become a
doctor to make a difference,
not give rich guys big butts.
Well, now you know
what you don't wanna do,
have you decided on a specialty?
Not yet.
Oh, it's a big life decision.
I mean, peers twice your age
struggle with choosing a specialty.
Mix in being a teen and everything
else you're grappling with,
I'm sure it's it's daunting.
It's okay if you feel a little lost.
Mom, I'm not some hormonal teenager.
You have enough of those already.
- I love your toes.
- I love your toes.
- Aw. Stop it.
- No, you stop it.
Can you both stop it?
You're weirding out my pet lizard.
What lizard?
Great. Scaley took a run for it.
He couldn't handle your baby voices.
Hey, we're not using baby voices.
Maybe a wittle.
- Yeah, just a wittle.
- Just a wittle.
Kai, help your brother find his lizard.
Ugh. Fine.
You okay, Mom? You seem a little tense.
Next week, I'm presenting
my Q2 budget to the board,
and the new hospital CEO,
Max Lee, is gonna be there.
His billionaire dad acquired the
hospital and made his son CEO.
So now I have to beg
for a portable CT scanner
from a guy who started
his own line of vodka.
You're gonna be awesome.
You're super persuasive.
Maybe you can convince Lahela to go
to her 10-year high school reunion.
Save it for Max Lee, Mom. I'm not going.
Why not? I had a great time.
Yeah, because in high
school, you were the BMOC.
King of the Island.
In high school, I was 7.
Okay, here's the thing.
High school can be a cruel
place, but it's 10 years later,
and now all your old
classmates have grown up.
They're all adults now.
We
A 7-year-old in 12th grade
was confusing for them,
but an almost 17-year-old
doctor now that they're 27?
That's impressive.
I hadn't thought of it that way.
You'll have fun.
Liliuokalani High has this tradition
where everyone votes
on reunion superlatives.
Like, most kids or most down to
earth, or most successful alumni?
Most successful alumni? That's cool.
I didn't want to go because I
never fit in and felt like a weirdo.
But if I won most successful alumni,
I mean, everything would be different.
I was voted best body.
We found Scaley!
How about you use your best body
to climb up there and get Scaley?
- You got it, boss.
- Go get him.
Order for Max Lee.
- Mahalo.
- Mahalo.
I went by your office
- and you weren't there.
- Oh.
And so I thought, you did you're
best, you deserve a shave ice,
and now look, here you are.
Moral of the story, breaks are good.
Congratulations on
being named the new CEO.
Oh, that was my dad's idea.
Time to grow up, Maxie.
Can't hide in your
nightclubs forever, Maxie.
We didn't get you into USC
as a fake collegiate
rower for nothing, Maxie!
- I want you to know something.
- Mm.
Even though I'm in charge,
you're really running this show.
Thank you. I appreciate that.
I got a million of these.
- They're very expensive.
- Um-hm.
Oh, one tiny thing.
I'm gonna take a vacay next week.
Could you present your
budget on Thursday?
Oh, that that's in two days.
Oh, it's either that or
having me miss my vacation.
And we already established
that breaks are good.
Um, okay, um, um, sure.
- Fun!
- Yeah!
We make a great team.
Hi, Dr. Hannon.
- Oh.
- I wanted to put in for some time off?
My improv comedy troupe, The
Shahahakas, is going on tour.
I'll be gone for 28 days playing
semi-sold out shows across America.
Oh, Jenny, no.
I can't lose a supervising
nurse for 28 days.
Oh, it's kind of hard to
yes and that, but I'll try.
Yes, you can't lose a
supervising nurse for 28 days.
And I'll make it 27 days.
Thanks! Scene.
- Bye!
- No. Jenny,
- I get
- Dr. Hannon.
Hey, I don't know if you've heard.
But I've been selected as a
finalist to be on The Bachelorette.
I didn't know that.
It's okay, you don't have to pretend.
It's already the talk of the hospital.
I honestly hadn't heard.
Right.
Anyway, as part of the selection
process for the major TV show
you "didn't know" I was up for,
I have to present a sizzle reel.
So is it cool if I have a videographer
just follow me around work?
Oh, I don't think
You don't think that's
gonna be a problem?
- Thanks, you're the best!
- A
- Hey.
- Give me a double.
One double rainbow shave ice coming up.
- Rough day?
- Rough week.
What is your secret for staying
strong during an argument?
But you never had a problem
sticking to your guns before.
I guess it's the enormity
of being Chief of Staff.
I know I can do the job,
but everyone wants a piece
of me and I just cave.
Hey, when I get overwhelmed,
I use my martial arts training
to visualize the argument.
And that works?
Every time.
Huh.
I'll tell you more about it in a second.
- Sir, you can't park here.
- No, no, no. Hey.
I use my martial arts training
to visualize the argument.
I have a permit.
Sorry for troubling you today.
No problem, officer. Have a good day.
Be like Benny.
Oh, babe, do you know what today is?
Yeah. Our two-week-aversary!
That went by so fast.
Because it's two weeks.
We have milk older
than your relationship.
Ugh.
Just remembered my parents
want me to look after him today.
He's gonna third wheel our
celebration and ruin the vibe.
We'll get through it,
babe. We made it this far.
Not far, two Sundays!
Well, I'm going to go
to your sister's room
to get ready for our celebration.
Wait, why don't you
just take the stairs?
Old habits.
- Hey, pretty girl.
- Oh, hey.
Check out this new contour
tip I found on TikTok.
You place a spot on your cheek
where you can feel your teeth
and then use a fluffy brush to
get a soft-looking, high cheekbone.
Love it.
I'll have to wait to try it.
My mom's been borrowing all my makeup
since she lost her purse in the ocean.
Huh.
Okay, I have my 10-year high school
reunion today, and I need your help.
Which one says big-time
doctor with a Roth IRA,
and a diversified portfolio of
limited edition Air Force 1's?
I love the idea of you
going to your reunion
to flaunt your revenge body
of financial assets. But
Denisco, you're not
getting soft on me, are you?
Heck, no!
Revenge is my middle name.
Actually, it's Marie, but when
I turn 18, I'm filing the papers.
I just think that showing
up in your mom's Chevy Impala
isn't going to get you
voted most successful,
but instead most
sensible mid-size sedan.
And that is why I rented
something with a little more wow.
Little more casual than I thought.
No problem. I got this.
I'm fine.
So, what do you guys do?
- I own a Jersey Mike's in Kailua.
- Uh-huh.
What about you, Alison? What do you do?
- I work at a nursery.
- Oh, very cool.
I've spent a lot of time in a
nursery. OB rotation. Babies.
I'm a doctor. Have I mentioned that?
It was the first thing you
said when you walked up.
You know, I still have
to choose my specialty.
Right now, the front runners are
neurosurgery and
interventional radiology.
Have you guys voted for
most successful alumni yet?
Is that a thing?
Yeah, apparently. I mean, it's silly.
But they actually gave me a
ballot when I first got here
and there were, like,
five of them stuck to it.
So here you guys can
each have one of those.
And I also have pens.
You can keep these.
- Qwezeepin?
- It's a new prescription medication.
As a doctor, I get a bunch
of free stuff from Big Pharma.
Code, perks. Am I right?
I had a bagel with gold on it.
Gold.
I wouldn't worry about those guys.
- Kayla, right?
- Yeah.
You made your prom
dress out of duct tape.
Oh, yeah. I still have
scars from ripping it off.
And your date was your
American Girl doll, huh?
Yeah. I still have scars from
that too. Mine are emotional.
Makes sense.
So have you voted for
most successful alumni yet?
Oh, no, I haven't heard of that.
If you vote for me,
you can keep this pen.
Hey, thanks for helping
me in my audition.
No problem. Okay, so the key is
to have an interesting back story.
So let's just, like, ease you into this.
What's the most traumatic thing
that's ever happened to you?
Oh, guy at the gym didn't
wipe the weight bench.
Uh, posing for lots of selfies with guys
I thought were Bradley Cooper.
- No?
- Um
My dad didn't love me?
Now we're talking.
Keep that nugget in your
pocket for Hometowns.
Dr. Lee, I'd like a word.
Oh.
I don't like the sound of that.
Cardiothoracic emergency?
What? No. Are you doing a voice?
Cut. Yota, did we get that?
I lost her coming in.
Damn. All right, back to one.
That means go out and come back in.
No, no! No. You two out.
What's up?
And full disclosure, I'm mic'd up,
so if any of this is usable,
it's going in the montage.
Be like Benny.
Mm. I'm not letting you film your
audition on hospital property.
Why not? It's good press!
It's a violation of patient privacy.
I will blur their faces!
You've got all these lights and cords!
It's an insurance issue.
I'm afraid someone's gonna get hurt.
Okay, fine. You win, shoot's over.
But you just cost yourself
a wrap gift. Big mistake.
You haven't lived until
you've had me on your feet.
Boom.
Kai, babe, this is amazing!
Now, let me just cue up Minions
for Brian Patrick, and the day is ours.
I wanted to watch Lord of the Rings.
I didn't know you
liked Lord of the Rings.
I actually call my mom Gollum
because she covets a ring so badly.
I
You guys wanna watch?
Pass.
You shall not pass!
Well, now we have to watch.
How'd the campaigning go?
Oh, pretty well, although
I could have circulated more
if my heels hadn't kept
sinking into the ground.
Oh, yeah.
Probably why you don't see a lot
of park rangers in Louboutins.
He's about to announce
the reunion superlatives.
Aloha, Class of 2013!
I'm your senior class
president, Bryson Chun!
Now, for the superlative
we've all been waiting for
Best Body.
And the winner is
Peter Huie!
Hey, oh, guys, guys,
thank you. Thank you.
Okay, okay. This next one's a biggie.
Most Successful Alumni goes to
Peter Huie!
Hi, I'm Dr. Lee. And I'm a cardiologist.
- My specialty is healing hearts.
- Welcome back.
But the only one I can't fix is mine.
That's where you come in.
This Maverick is
looking for his co-pilot.
My biggest weakness is loving too hard,
and my huge calves not fitting in jeans.
Oh, yay! I wrote that
loving too hard line.
I could tell by the way
you were mouthing along.
Wait, where are you guys going?
So, what do you think?
Well, I was a little confused because
I thought I was there to watch a video
on continuous-flow left
ventricular devices.
Well, I admit my email might
have been a tad misleading,
but now that you've
seen my audition tape.
You think I should send it in?
Sure, why not?
Well, I I can't be on
the show if I'm with someone.
Oh, right. I mean, that makes sense.
Right. So
What's up with your finger?
Well, I mean, we never got
to talk about that night?
Oh, you mean the night
when we all went to Zippy's
and then you went to the
bathroom and left without paying?
No, I'm talking about that unforgettable
night where your lips touched mine,
and our souls joined
together briefly for a moment.
The the night that we
The night that we kissed.
I know, I'm joking.
Look, I had fun.
But to be honest,
I'm looking for a
Monday-through-Friday guy,
not a Saturday guy.
Huh.
That was rough, man.
- Go again?
- No!
You're still here?
I didn't feel like going home and
explaining why I was back so early.
Well, did you eat?
I've got some leftover
teriyaki bento boxes?
I mean, they're pretty good
for food not made out of gold.
Hm, thanks.
I can't believe I told
everyone I ate a gold bagel.
Yeah. Yeah, that was an odd flex.
Why'd you do that?
I guess I wanted their validation?
Because I'm kind of in
a weird place right now.
I just broke up with my boyfriend.
And there's this other guy that I
really like, but it's complicated.
And I have a major
career decision to make.
And for the first time in my
life, I have no clue what to do.
I mean, you're, like, 17.
You're just now the age the rest
of us were back in high school.
You're not supposed to
have all the answers.
You'll know when you know.
Thanks.
It means a lot.
Why are you being so nice to me?
- I don't remember us being friends.
- You don't?
Don't worry. No, we
barely knew each other.
But I I do remember I was so
nervous for a trig test one-time
and you helped me study for it.
How do you even remember that?
Sometimes a small gesture
can make a big impact.
I like that.
What are you doing with
all those bento boxes?
I can show you. If you give me a hand.
I'd like to talk to you about
moving our meeting back to next week.
What color green is this?
Um, I'm not sure.
- We should change it.
- I'm not doing that.
I just had these walls
repainted six months ago.
We should change it.
Be like Benny.
Well, something needs to be
done to liven this place up.
It should be aspirational.
Like Soho House.
I'm thinking leather wingback chairs.
This is a hospital, not a nightclub.
Fine, Danish modern.
My priority is a new CT scanner.
Your priority should be
keeping your boss happy.
And until your daddy buys
you a hospital, I'm the boss.
And the boss wants to redecorate.
We don't have the budget for that.
Then cut your CT scanner.
I'll run the numbers.
Fun!
I'll see you at the
board meeting tomorrow.
I'll bring donuts!
Thanks for driving.
My bike doesn't have
the best trunk space.
You know, I never got to
ask you at the reunion.
What do you do now?
Well, in high school, I
was really into fashion,
so I always thought I'd be
like a big designer in Paris.
But my life took a different turn.
- It did?
- Yeah.
I noticed there was a growing
unhoused population in Hawai'i.
And I wanted to put my
talents to use closer to home.
So I started an outreach program
to makeover unhoused folks to
get them ready for job interviews.
Wow. That is amazing.
You could have totally
won Most Successful.
Why didn't you tell
anyone at the reunion?
Oh, the people who matter know,
besides wanting to win something
at a high school reunion
it's pretty lame.
Fair.
Mahalo.
There's my beautiful bride!
I tried your trick of beating people up
in my mind, and it didn't work.
I never told you to do that.
Yeah, you did!
To be fair, it did work
on Dr. Lee
but not even a little
on my hospital's CEO.
Because you never beat
a big boss like that.
When I said I use my
martial arts training,
I meant I focus on my
breathing to center myself,
so I don't get overwhelmed.
That's how you win an argument.
- What?
- Follow me.
- Hello?
- Oh.
Can I get my order? That's my
shave ice melting behind you.
Sorry. We were breathing.
- On the house.
- Yeah.
Oh, we're here. Pull over.
- Hey, look who showed up.
- Hi, Clint.
- This is my friend, Lahela.
- Hey.
We brought bento boxes.
- Oh, is anyone hungry?
- Yeah.
Hey, you need some help?
- Yeah.
- Oh, that'd be great. Thanks.
Thank you.
- Hey, Kayla?
- Hi.
I have an interview to be a
receptionist for an insurance agency.
Can I get a makeover?
I keep my clothes and my gear
in a closet at the shelter.
- Do you mind?
- Oh, no, it sounds like fun.
Let's do this.
- Oh, my gosh.
- Well, what do you think?
- Beautiful.
- You look beautiful.
- I love it.
- Wait, it's missing one thing.
Oh, my God. These are amazing.
I can't tell you what this means to me.
I finally feel like my
outside matches my inside.
Oh, and they're both fabulous.
You're gonna crush your interview.
Wow.
I love that movie.
- I just wish it was longer.
- Me too.
And they stayed pretty
loyal to the books,
except the battle between Gandalf
and the Witch-King of Angmar.
Well, I would like to thank you
both for a wonderful date night.
Time to have a nightmare about Saruman.
Why did you let him
watch a movie with us?
I felt like the third wheel.
My mom's gone a lot,
so it's usually just me.
I don't have any siblings.
You know, one of the
reasons I love coming here is
because there's always family around.
I never realized you felt that way.
I'm sorry for being
such a selfish ding dong.
You're not!
And you're nobody's third wheel.
You're my Legolas.
The Orlando Bloom character.
The hot elf that shoots arrows.
Oh, sick!
Thanks for your help today.
Oh, I should be thanking you.
You've turned a crappy day
into a pretty great one.
Felt good to help.
How long have you had that cough?
I don't know. A while, I guess.
Have you seen a doctor?
Doctors don't come around here.
Well, you're welcome to come
see me any time at the hospital.
Lahela's a doctor.
Wow. What kind?
Oh, you know, I've been thinking
about that a lot recently,
and up until today, and getting
to hang out with all of you,
I I didn't know, but
I do now.
I mean, don't keep us in
suspense. What's your specialty?
People.
My specialty is helping people.
Noelani, report
to the hospital entrance.
Noelani, report to
the hospital entrance.
Okay.
What's going on?
I got on The Bachelorette.
- Oh, I am so excited.
- What?
I leave for LA today.
To be honest,
the whole reason I
even applied was to see
if you are actually into me.
But since you're not
Well, I never thought you were serious.
Everything with you is always a joke.
Please, you've made your choice.
But when one door
closes, another door opens
to a mansion with a
hottie in Agoura Hills.
You look just like Trista when
she fell in love with Fireman Ryan.
Is that your girlfriend?
Not yet. I'm playing the long game.
As your Chief of Staff,
I'm submitting for a portable CT scanner
instead of redecorating the ER.
This new machine will
keep our ICU patients safe.
Any questions on the Q2 budget?
Yeah, I'm not sure new equipment
is what this hospital needs
to be investing in right now.
What if the image quality is worse?
They meet ACR standards and even
allow for intra-operative imaging.
Hey, won't this crater Q3 and Q4?
Data from the Cleveland
Clinic says these
machines pay for
themselves in six months.
Won't this require extra training
and time away from patient here care?
This new machine is so simple even
you could handle it, Mr. Ludwig.
Impressive.
During the flight
back on my private jet,
I read an article that said these new
machines increase exposure to radiation.
Now, I thought we were in the business
of helping people, not hurting them.
Focus on your breathing.
Center yourself.
With all due respect to the in-flight
magazine on your dad's private jet,
with standard safety measures in place,
there is no risk of higher
doses of ionizing radiation.
And as Chief of Staff,
the safety of my patients and
my doctors is always top of mind.
Dr. Hannon,
it's my recommendation
that the board approve your budget.
Thank you.
No, thank you.
We make a great team!
With your professionalism
and my attention to detail
Ooh-ho.
I'm good.
I'll put a new chair in the budget.
It's funny.
If you're around someone for long enough
you think you have them figured out.
But, I've come to realize
that people will surprise you.
And sometimes the person that
surprises you the most is
you.
A small gesture can make a big impact.
On the person you're helping
but also
on you.
Mom.
