And now I'm taking it slow.
BEN: No. Not like that.
Did you know that Joey
was volunteering today?
Looks more like he was voluntold.
Oh. [CHUCKLES]
From that dad energy, I'm guessing
that he totaled Warren's car.
After running over the family cat.
Hey!
Warren looks pissed. Any
idea why his kid is here?
Well, shouldn't you know that, Captain?

Cold or otherwise.

The directive was quick and simple.
Considering dietary
restrictions and allergies,
we have peanut butter and jelly,
just jelly, ham and cheese,
just cheese, just ham,
and gluten-free lettuce

After all this time, you

Put that coffee down.
Coffee is not for dropouts.
Coffee is for honest students

- Yeah. Yeah, of pre-med.
And the school of common sense.
Don't you roll your eyes at me, boy.
Somebody didn't expect his father
to have a doctor's appointment today
and be home late enough
to catch him loafing.
Why go to class when the
world is a dumpster fire?
BECKETT: Sounds like somebody
made it to the lecture
on doom and gloom.
You know, Joey?
Nothing cheers me up
like a day spent in the service
of our community.

Emergency patients went to hospitals,

Sitting at home, watching women on TV,
talking hot topics won't

And these people need a doctor.
I just think it would be better
if you stayed at home and rested.
And is that your expert opinion?
Because mine is that
I'm the doctor here,
and I have patients to see.
No, no, no.
I'm okay.
Joey. Come with me.

Grab that.
So I heard you didn't like pre-med.
You okay checking vitals today?
Yeah, I-I guess.
So, can I ask you something.
So, how are things with
