Switched at Birth s05e06 Episode Script

Four Ages in Life

1 Previously on Switched at Birth Young Money, baby! That's totally insulting.
You know that, right? So, you're hunger striking? I'm camping in front of the BSU and refusing to eat.
All I can really offer is my support.
Regina: Luca and I are together.
Oh.
Wow.
It's unreal! What is he, like, 25? I think we should take the summer, - see what happens.
- Mingo.
That was the president.
He wants to meet with us to address the rest of our demands.
- Yes! - Whoo! Bay: I've done this before dozens of times.
In another country.
You're not ready for a chair.
Bay: Rip off designs? Some do, but not Noelle.
The first few days, I just had chicken broth, and then I had an apple last night, and my taste buds practically exploded! (both chuckle) Hey, look at that.
It's gotta feel good.
It really does.
Did you hear Dean Peterson resigned? They said he had an opportunity in the private sector, but we all know what that means.
Yeah, they're finally taking us seriously.
There's a lot of work still to be done, but things are starting to change.
(Iris sighs) And then, some things never change.
(Australian accent) G'day, ladies.
Hey, Mingo.
Iris, hey.
- Uh, how are you? - I'm fine.
I I hear you're eating again.
You want me to throw another shrimp on the barby for ya? I have to get to BSU.
I'll see you later.
You okay? Yeah, of course.
It's only my favorite day of the whole damn year.
- The Kangaroo Krawl? - It's an all-day pub crawl.
We go to the best 12 bars, drink two beers at each one all in the name of school spirit.
Totally unsanctioned, of course.
Go Roos.
Last man standing is crowned Kangaroo King.
Everybody has to buy him his drinks for the rest of the year.
So, what do you say? You want in? Oh, pfft, I wish I could, but Professor Marillo hooked me up with a volunteer job at the Student Health Center for extra credit, so I gotta work.
What, on a Saturday? Oh, no, I'm excited.
I'm looking forward to getting back in the trenches.
But, um, hey, we should hang out next weekend.
Yeah, I'd love that, um but I'm actually, uh, going to Georgetown to see Amy.
Right.
But, uh, best of luck with the new job.
Yeah.
Thanks.
See ya.
Toby: I mean, I just figured with all the millions of anchors and dragons that everybody copied off of each other.
No, it's, like, the number one unwritten rule in the ink world.
Stealing someone else's tattoo is a sure way to get your ass kicked.
Besides, Noelle represents herself as being completely original.
She's all about non-conformity.
She never even duplicates her own work.
Well, then I'd say you've got a problem, because these look awfully similar.
What am I gonna do? Well, I guess it's like you said, you gotta kick her ass.
Nurse Reed: Now, I need to remind you, as a volunteer, you are not allowed to touch patients.
Of course.
I understand.
You're here to observe and assist the physician on duty.
In this case, Dr.
Jackson.
Sorry, did you say Dr.
Jackson? Mm-hmm.
He runs a free clinic downtown - and fills in for us on Saturdays.
- (door opens) There he is.
Dr.
Jackson: Daphne, Daphne! Go to the drug lockup.
Get me a tetanus vial and syringe.
No oxycodone was prescribed yesterday, nor the day before.
Did you take it? I will never do anything like that again.
I can't tolerate stealing.
I have to let you go.
(theme music playing) Are you seriously trying to front like I ripped you off? All I'm saying is that they look pretty similar.
So what? You're my apprentice.
- What's yours is mine.
- What? Says who? I've never even heard of that.
One of the many reasons you're an apprentice and not an artist.
"Many reasons"? What reasons? First of all, you're not from around here, and it shows.
Actually, half of my family is from East Riverside.
Really? Well, I grew up here, went to school here.
My first job was at Sam's Thrift Store on Hamilton Avenue.
Do you know it? Didn't think so.
And sadly, your rich girl vibe is cramping my style.
You know what, if I am good enough to steal from, then I'm good enough to have my own chair.
- You really think you're ready? - I know I'm ready.
Okay.
Congratulations, you've got one.
Wow.
Thank you The rental fee is 300 bucks every week.
- Every week? - Every Friday.
Anything you make beyond that, I get 20%.
- Got it.
- And let's be clear, if you can't score any clients or don't make any money, you still owe me 300 bucks a week.
Oh, and when it comes to clients, don't even think about pinching mine.
So your name and date, and make sure you list any allergies.
That's really important.
Miss Vasquez.
I'd forgotten you were going to school here.
- Hi, Dr.
Jackson.
- So, you're our student volunteer? I know what you're gonna say, that you don't want to work with me, but I just want you to know that I got my life Whoa, whoa, slow down.
You've got the wrong idea.
It's good to see you.
But you fired me.
Well, you didn't really give me a choice about that.
Doesn't mean I liked it.
You were going through a hard time.
You just lost your father.
Angelo was it? And now look at you.
You're pre-med.
I'm sure he'd be very proud.
- Thank you.
- So, let's move on.
Now, tell me what you know about this Kangaroo Krawl.
It's a bunch of guys trying to out-drink each other all day long.
I have a feeling we're gonna be slammed.
I need you to bring your "A" game.
(sultry music playing) - (doorknob rattles) - Hey, honey.
Hey, hey.
- What do you want for lunch? - (music stops) I thought you went to the store.
I did, and I'm back.
Okay.
- Did I interrupt something? - Ha! No, no, no, no.
I just, you know, I just checkin' scores, yeah.
Huh.
Okay, lunch.
Tuna salad or BLT? Tuna salad! Great! Tuna salad it is.
So given the current profit margin and the fact that we can amortize some of the costs of running one location by opening another, all the numbers seem to point in the same direction.
Expansion.
I love it.
Duplicate your profits, duplicate your success.
It's a solid plan.
Good, because I've already made an appointment with the bank to talk about a small business loan.
What? I may be able to help you get there a little faster.
Really? How? Uh, I know a private investor who might be interested in getting involved.
- Are you serious? - Yeah.
Yeah, he's been looking for smart investments, and I think your business plan is exactly that.
Want me to get into it? That would be amazing! Thank you! Aw.
- You got it.
- (chuckles) Wow.
(clears throat) That is delicious! What'd you put in there? Tuna and mayonnaise.
Same as always.
Well, it's just fantastic.
It's better today.
(chewing loudly) Okay, John, we're not doing this.
Not doing what? We have been married for 25 years.
We should be able to have an adult conversation about sex.
Honey, I'm not judging you.
It's important to have an active fantasy life.
I'm a herotica novel author.
I literally wrote a book about it.
Okay.
Maybe you interrupted something private and if you insist on talking about it, we can talk about it.
Okay.
Good.
So what kinds of things were you looking at? I take it back.
I can't do this.
(sighs) I I just want you to know You're reading way too much into this, sweetie, okay? We've both been really busy.
You got that new job What does that have to do with it? You have to have noticed we both have not had much time for each other.
Of course I have.
I was just, you know, waiting it out.
Right! Summer's coming and, you know, we'll get back into the swing of things.
John, it's April.
Can we please just not talk about this right now? I'm Dr.
Jackson and this is Daphne Vasquez, our student volunteer.
Hi there.
Hey.
I'm Ally.
I'm just a part-time student.
Is that okay? Yeah, all students are covered.
Ouch.
How'd that happen? This guy came out of nowhere covered in spikes and chains like an extra from a Mad Max movie.
Yet another victim of the Kangaroo Krawl.
And that's gonna need stitches.
Uh, and I don't see a temperature.
Why don't you go ahead and take it? Uh, the nurse said I couldn't As long as I'm supervising, it's fine.
Don't worry, you're in good hands.
The patient's had open heart surgery and is still on blood thinners, so what do we do? Um, we use an adhesive after stitches to - prevent further bleeding.
- Mm-hmm.
Very good.
I learned from the best.
- 98.
6.
- Excellent.
We'll have you out of here in a second.
You know, this isn't the kind of thread I like to use.
Uh, Daphne, will you ask the nurse practitioner to come in and finish up? Of course.
Ally's all stitched up.
- She's good to go.
- Great.
Well, let's get her back here in a week and take them out.
Dr.
Jackson, is everything okay? - What do you mean? - I just your hands.
Oh, that.
Um, I forgot to take my arthritis pills.
When you get to be my age, your medicine cabinet looks like a candy store.
Oh, no.
Hey.
What happened? Uh, you know, we were leaving the Loosey Goosey and somebody got out a rugby ball.
Uh that looks like it could be dislocated.
Does it hurt a lot? No, it's not that bad, actually.
How many beers have you've had? In pints or schooners? Okay, let's get you into an exam room.
Ooh, look at us, back at the scene of the crime.
Remember? First date, - where we lost the, you know - Oh, I remember.
- in the - Yeah, no, shh.
- Mingo, just - All I'm saying is, this place - should give me a punch card.
- I'm I'm working.
So you're talking about a cross-hatching detail like this.
Yes, exactly, but I'll come back tomorrow with one of my boys.
I wanna see if they think it's dope.
Uh, can I be honest? Uh, this is your tattoo.
It only matters if you think it's dope, and I can see it in your eyes.
- You love it.
- (chuckles) Yeah, you're right.
Uh, you you have time right now? Uh, yeah, I think I can fit you in.
- (chuckles) - Kathryn: Hi, honey! John: Hey, there she is! We just got your text, and we wanted to come by and congratulate you in person.
First day with your own chair, - that's a big deal! - (shutter clicks) - Your first day? - No! Well, yes.
Just Can you guys hold on just one second? Um, yes.
It is my first day here at Bombshell Betty's, but before this, I was an established tattoo artist in China.
I've inked hundreds of people.
I I just realized I I'm expecting a delivery and I gotta sign for it.
I'll come back.
[gasps.]
Kathryn: Oh, hello! - You must be Noelle.
- Mom, please don't.
Hi, I'm Kathryn Kennish.
I'm Bay's mom.
Hey, John Kennish.
Got a great place here.
It's so nice to meet you.
Where do you guys live again? - Mission Hills.
- Oh, wow.
I hear it's beautiful over there.
We like it.
I love your wallpaper.
It's so cool.
Honey, our reservation's in 10 minutes.
We should probably go.
- Oh, it's our date night.
- Oh.
Um, okay, thanks for coming by, guys.
- See you later.
Appreciate it.
- Bye, honey.
- John: Bye.
- Bay: Bye.
Okay.
We're so proud of her.
(laughs dryly) Now, which one of them is from East Riverside? (groans, chuckles) Admit it, you miss these guns.
- (crack) - (yelps, grunts) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Good, good.
Ow.
All right, you're gonna be sore for a while.
- You think? - I'm gonna give you a painkiller and an anti-inflammatory, but don't take them until you've sobered up.
Now go home and take it easy for the rest of the day.
Do you want some help getting back to the dorm? I'm not going back to the dorm.
It's down to me and the last five guys.
Mingo, you could've seriously hurt yourself.
It's crazy out there.
It's only gonna get worse.
Okay, spare me the lecture, Red.
You know, not all of us want to work all the time.
College is supposed to be fun.
You're taking it too far.
Yeah, 'cause that's what I do, right? That's who I am.
I'm the party guy.
- What are you talking about? - I'm gonna win this damn thing.
Mingo, wait! There you go.
- Hi.
- Hi.
So many choices.
Well, if you ask me, they're all delicious, but I'm biased.
Latte with soy.
Can I request a specific mug? That's the whole idea.
I'll take the one with the surfboard.
Ah, my favorite in the entire collection.
It's from a sleepy little surfing town called Sayulita.
You can watch the fishermen bring in their haul at the end of the day, sit right down on the beach, and watch them peel your shrimp for you.
The most amazing paletas in the world.
You've been there? Well, I'm from Nayarit.
Oh.
(chuckles) God, why did you let me go on like that? (chuckles) Can you blame me? A pretty woman telling me how much she likes my home state? A Sayulita.
A Sayulita.
You're early.
- You're never early.
- (chuckles) There's always a first.
You two know each other? Regina, this is Manuel.
My father.
Hi.
Why didn't you tell me you were meeting your dad here? This wasn't the plan.
I was gonna tell you everything beforehand, but he got here first.
You could've texted me! I'm sorry.
Okay? I I told him about the Cracked Mug as a possible investment.
- He wanted to see it right away.
- Wait, your dad is the investor? We really should've talked about this first.
I I don't even know how he feels about us.
Well, the thing is, I haven't exactly told him we're dating.
- Why not? - I didn't want it to cloud his judgment about your business plan.
- Well, he's gonna find out eventually.
- No, of course he will, but first I want him to form an unbiased opinion, and once he's done that, I'll tell him all about us.
I I really don't feel good about this.
I need you to trust me.
Look, you asked me to keep our relationship a secret from your family until you felt the time was right.
Now I'm asking for the same in return.
All right.
Bay: I'm so sorry, Noelle's booked then.
Um You know, we have another artist who just started working here, if y You want Noelle.
I get it.
Thanks.
Bye.
Uh, hi.
Can I help you? Yeah, I'm looking to get a tattoo.
Okay.
Great.
Well, do you want to check out some of our portfolios, get some inspiration? No, I I know what I want.
Hm! - It's nice.
- My dad had the same one.
Growing up, he always told me stories about it.
He died in Iraq.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I want it in the same place he had it.
Uh okay.
Y I need to see some I.
D.
You have to be 18.
I'm 18.
I got I.
D.
Says here you're 250 pounds.
I lost a lot of weight.
Look, I I'll pay cash.
Whatever you charge.
(sighs) Okay, let's set you up.
All the couches and tables are from local East Riverside manufacturers.
Dad, I actually gotta run.
Um, Regina can answer your questions.
- Is that cool? - Go.
I'll call you later.
- Bye, Regina.
- Bye, Luca.
Thank you for everything.
The vibe in here is very comfortable.
People must stay all day.
Isn't that bad for profits? Well, long-term loyalty is better than short-term profits.
I mean, that's what I've found.
I understand why Luca sees so much potential in this place.
Thank you.
I'm gonna take your proposal home with me and have a closer look at the numbers.
Please.
That would be great.
Uh I hope I'm not being too forward, but I'd love to take you to dinner.
Oh.
- Uh - Oh.
(chuckles) I'm sorry, I overstepped.
I'm a little rusty at this.
I haven't dated much since my wife died.
No, I'm sorry, um Gosh.
This is I'm actually dating your son.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
Um, we should've told you earlier.
I just think Luca wanted to get your unbiased opinion of the place.
Right.
And even if I was single, I don't think it would be appropriate to mix business with pleasure.
I don't understand.
Well, you're thinking of investing in my business, aren't you? My son hasn't been honest with either of us.
I'm not the investor.
Luca is.
Change the dressing in three hours.
More ointment and then re-cover, okay? Yeah.
Thanks.
Hey, anything blow up while I was away? - What's up? - That's 300.
My week already paid in full.
(doorknob rattles) Hey, Dr.
J.
Uh, this prescription you wrote for Greg Shamingo, isn't Ketalar an anesthetic? - I didn't give him Ketalar.
- I gave him ketorolac.
Um, good catch.
I'll write your friend a new prescription.
Mingo could have ended up in the hospital.
It's a common mistake.
Now come on, we've got a ton of patients to see.
But Dr.
J, if something's affecting your abilities Then what? Then y you need to I don't know, talk to someone.
Okay, now you're out of line.
See, I made one mistake.
It's not the end of the world.
And you of all people should understand that.
Sounds to me like Dr.
J should be thanking you.
Yeah.
I mean, it's a good thing that you were there to catch his mistake.
He's right.
What if it happens again and someone really does gets hurt? He could've told everyone about what I did at the clinic.
He could've ended my medical career right then and there, and now, I might be the one ending his.
Maybe not.
You know, when I decided to be a stay-at-home dad, I thought that I was saying goodbye to music.
But, you know, Carlton and I, we go into the studio and we just jam, and he totally loves it.
And I know it's not exactly the same thing, but But you're still playing your music.
You're still doing what you love.
Exactly.
Announcer on TV: 67 seconds - to make up two points.
- Gotta make that.
Have three guys that can shoot the basketball It's go time! Can they Hey! What are you doing? I'm watching that.
I've got something better for you to look at.
Wow.
You don't think I was gonna let our date night end with you falling asleep on the couch? Ooh.
Well, you know, I Wow.
(chuckles) Hey, sweetie, look, you know, wait, we gotta be careful.
The kids could walk in.
Nope, nobody's here.
I made sure that we have the house to ourselves for the next two hours.
Listen, sweetie, I really want to watch this game.
It's mm! It's Big Ten Pac-12.
Record it.
But it's not the same as live.
- Are you kidding me? - What? Now I know why you felt the need to do your independent study.
Oh, no, no.
Wait a second! - No, that's not it! - I'm throwing myself at you, and you would rather watch TV.
O okay, look, Kathryn, I lately, I've I I've been having a little trouble with my equipment.
Equipment? - Oh.
- When you walked in on me, I was just looking at things, thinking that maybe I could jump-start the engine.
That's it.
- Honey, I'm sorry.
- No, please.
Don't do that, please.
No pity.
I have a plan.
I am gonna start eating more salads, I wanna start swimming again, I wanna get the blood pumping.
And you're gonna see Dr.
Hughes, right? - Um - What? Sweetie, he's a doctor.
Okay? He'll just want to give me pills.
- This can work itself out.
- Let me get this straight, you're having performance issues, which you were all too happy to blame on my new job which is not okay, by the way and you won't do what you need to do to fix it because you're gonna have to talk to another man about your sexual problems? I told you, I am handling this.
Newsflash, John, you're getting older.
We both are.
I crank the air conditioning down to 65 degrees every night because I'm having hot flashes.
It's called menopause.
And unlike you, I can say things.
Out loud.
We're both changing, but I'm the one standing here in a nightgown.
You decide what's more important: your fragile male ego or our marriage.
Luca: When my mom died, I inherited her family's ranch in Mexico.
I sold it off last year.
And my dad advises me on my business moves, so I wanted his opinion.
(sighs) Why didn't you ever tell me? Well, from my experience, it could change the way some people see me.
- I understand.
- Well, just to be clear, it's not never-work-again money.
Just enough for a few investments, which is why I'm taking business classes.
And very smart.
I know you'll make your mother and her family very proud.
Well, I happen to think we will make them very proud.
- Luca - Look, I'm ready to do this.
Let's go into business together.
(chuckles) Thank you.
It's a lot to think about.
I just need some time to think it through.
Of course.
I'm just excited.
You know, the potential here is off the charts.
I mean, just think where we could be in a few short years.
(sighs) Noelle: Bay? You the one who tattooed my 15-year-old kid? I am so sorry.
Your son, who by the way said you were dead, he also said that he was 18.
I I checked his I.
D.
You know how easy it is to get a fake I.
D.
? Actually, yes, I do.
Sir, it's her first day.
Good for her.
I spent my entire life trying to keep him from joining a street gang! Everyone in the neighborhood knows and respects that.
Then you go and tattoo a gang sign right on his arm? A gang sign? I wanna know what you're gonna do about it.
If a rival gang sees this, he could end up dead! She can fix it.
Right.
I can.
Come on.
Sit.
Okay, just hold still.
Okay.
So you can just tattoo that? Yes.
You will never know the gang sign was there.
Do it.
Um (sighs) Okay.
So Dr.
Hughes is going to be in Aruba for the next three weeks? Ugh.
Yeah, okay.
I I'll call back.
Thank you.
- Coach K.
- Hey.
- You catch the end of that Illini game? - No.
Their star forward snapped his Achilles tendon.
Ooh, that is rough.
You know, that's a long recovery period.
Treated a guy in my unit for that.
Took him a year and a half to get full movement back.
- See ya.
- Yeah, that's right, you were a medic.
Luca? Hey, hey, listen, I was wondering if I could get your advice about something.
- Sure thing.
- Lately things have not been going so smoothly down below.
In baseball terms, I've been in kind of a slump.
Slump? Imagine stepping up to the plate, and instead of a nice, solid piece of wood in your hands, you're swinging a garden hose.
Got it.
- Thank God.
- (chuckles) Well, first of all, it happens all the time.
I mean, not to me, but to lots of guys.
A few of the college guys I know swear by this herbal supplement.
- Really? - Yeah! I mean, when you binge drink as much as they do, sometimes you need a little boost to get things going.
- Yeah, yeah.
- I'll text you the name of it.
Thank you so much.
That's great.
No problem.
And Luca? - We take this to our graves.
- (snorts) (knocks) What can I do for you? What's this? Professor Marillo's email.
She has a lot of sway in the science department.
And why do I need it? Sooner or later, you're gonna hang up your stethoscope, but it doesn't have to mean that you're done with medicine.
They're just handing out teaching positions now, is that it? I happen to know the administration is serious about diversifying the faculty, and we have adjunct professors all the time that don't have half as much experience as you do.
It's a nice thought, but I'm 75.
You don't start a new career at my age.
"No one's gonna hand you a ladder.
"You want it bad enough, you gotta build your own.
" Did I say that? Yeah, you did.
Look, I wouldn't be pre-med right now if it weren't for you.
There are a lot of students here who need that kind of inspiration.
I guess sometimes you push a little too hard when you just want to get back to being the person you used to be.
Regina: I have to say I'm shocked he's got money.
Is it possible you're overthinking it? A young man wants to invest in your cafe.
I think you should consider it.
But is it weird that he didn't tell me? If there's one thing I know about men, it's they all think they have a good reason to lie.
- (knock on door) - Oh, hold on.
- Manuel? Hi, come on in.
- Hi.
I'm sorry to just show up.
Luca gave me your address.
I wanted to get these back to you.
Oh, um, Manuel, this is Kathryn.
Kathryn, this is Manuel, Luca's father.
- Hi.
- Hi.
You didn't have to come all this way.
- I was hoping to speak with you.
- Oh.
I think I'll turn in.
- Nice to meet you, Manuel.
- Likewise.
Um, I imagine that you have questions.
Actually, I think investing in the Cracked Mug is a smart business decision.
Thank you.
But as a father, I have very serious concerns about your relationship.
Well, I'm afraid that's up to Luca.
Luca is my only child.
I want him to have everything he wants in life including a family.
But Luca doesn't want kids.
I'm sure he says that now, probably believes it too, but what happens in five or 10 years when he changes his mind? Luca's an adult, and as an adult, he can make his own decisions.
That's true.
But I think deep down, you know I'm right about this.
(door opens) (door closes) (students cheering) Mingo! (cheering continues) What are you doing here? Someone said they saw you coming up here with your bike.
Yeah.
It's down to me and the guy who won last year.
Whoever does the craziest stunt wins.
They call this run The Body Bag.
Come on, put your bike down.
You've had way too much to drink.
Are you kidding me? I'm about to win this thing.
You're about to kill yourself.
You don't understand.
You'd rather have people think you're crazy than think you're racist.
Look, I know you're upset about the Lil Wayne thing, but this is not the way to get past it.
I'm a little dizzy.
You need to sit down.
Come on.
(students booing) People hate me.
Not true.
Guys that have known me for three years cross to the other side of the quad just so they don't have to talk to me.
And then Iris I mean, she moved out of the dorm because of me.
I think an apology might help.
I was trying to.
You asked if she wanted another shrimp on the barby.
I I know, I know, I I just got nervous.
I wish I could take it all back.
But to Iris and to everybody else, I'll always just be that racist guy who dressed up like Lil Wayne.
I don't see you that way.
You're a great guy, Mingo.
Yeah.
So great that when you went to China, you didn't call me for 10 months.
I thought we weren't talking.
(sighs) It doesn't mean I didn't miss you.
Really? I thought about you every single day.
You have a girlfriend.
Maybe I shouldn't.
But you do.
Daphne, you get me.
Like no one ever has.
Are you gonna break up with her? Then we can't do this.
No charge for the extra work.
And here's your money back.
That was crazy.
Some quick thinking on your part.
- Nice save.
- Thanks.
But seriously, never again.
One, you should've known that was a gang symbol, something you learn if you grow up here.
And two, that kid was clearly underage, no matter what his I.
D.
said.
Yeah, it was a pretty bad fake.
You knew? That guy was pissed! - I mean, he could've had my - The pressure got to me.
I needed a client, I had to get your money.
But I I crossed a line, and I'm really, really sorry.
I get it.
You do? Yeah.
You're in a jam, you needed a way out.
It happens.
Same deal when I borrowed your phoenix.
- But you said - Yeah, look, it was a crazy, busy day.
The customer wanted something fresh, and I was spent.
I do the five-hour trek back from Marion every Tuesday before work, but this time, I was just more beat than usual.
What's in Marion? My nieces.
My deadbeat little brother's never met them, but their mum's got her hands full, so I try to give her a little break when I can.
That is really cool of you.
Yeah.
Anyway, I'm sorry about your phoenix.
I'm not proud of it, but Tuesdays can be tough.
It's okay.
Yeah? Cool.
But I still need that 300 bucks by Friday.
(sighs) - Kathryn: Morning.
- John: Hey, sweetie.
You drank all the coffee? I didn't make coffee.
This is tea.
Since when do you drink tea? It's an herbal supplement.
Tastes like it came out of a rain gutter, but it's supposed to help with the (clicks tongue) you know.
Luca told me about it.
You talked to Luca about it? - Mm-hmm.
- You told our daughter's other mother's 25-year-old boy-toy about our sexual problems? He's not gonna tell Regina.
- Right? - He might.
Oh, then I would have to kill him.
Oh, my God, John, you might have to.
(chuckles) Honestly, thank you.
- Well - That couldn't have been easy.
No.
Hey remember when you were in the pros, I used to come visit you on the road, and we'd hole up in those luxury hotels with the thousand-thread count sheets? - Oh, yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
We were unstoppable back then.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, it was frustrating.
I still feel like I am that 25-year-old kid and then I get in front of a mirror.
(chuckles) Hey I still see that 25-year-old kid.
- Mm.
- Mm.
Oh, my goodness, we should go see if this tea is working.
Really? Yeah, 'cause I think it is.
I'll go get the nightgown.
Okay.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I just found out there's a pizza place two blocks from campus that's closing down.
- Okay.
- The square footage is right.
It could be perfect for another Cracked Mug.
Uh Come.
Let's sit.
I was up all night thinking.
Every time I've gone into business, I did it with someone else's help.
But this time around, I think I need to do it by myself.
Oh.
Look, your support and enthusiasm mean the world to me.
If anything, you pushed me to actually make this happen.
But this time, I need to do it on my own.
Well, I can't say I'm not disappointed.
But, um know I'm in your corner every step of the way.
(footsteps) Hey.
Um, Ally, right? Is everything okay? Did you pop a stitch? No.
Um Can I talk to you? Sure.
(sighs) The thing is I know who you are.
I looked you up a while ago.
(sighs) I couldn't believe we went to the same school, but I didn't know you worked at the clinic.
Probably should've said something yesterday, but I didn't know how.
I don't understand.
You know I had open heart surgery.
It was actually a heart transplant.
Stone walls on a heavy ground Two years ago on April 14th.
The donor was a man who died in a car accident.
But our hearts remain Oh, my God.
The loudest sound Yeah.
You have Angelo's heart.
How do we get over this time?
