Whatever happened with Reid? Did he call you?
Yeah, I can see why you like him.
Too bad he's gay.
What?
Hey, babe.
Hey.
I'm actually using this room for a lesson.
Yeah.
That's me -- Kyle Hunter.
I don't want to go to that party.
'Cause when I go to parties, I get all sloppy.
You just need to be who you are, not who you think I want you to be.
No extra pickles today.
That's what you get for lying to your sister.
Are we still on that? I told you -- I wasn't lying when I said Reid was gay.
I was wrong.
That happens all the time.
So why are you bugging this time?
Because this time, you being wrong ruined my life.
If I'd have known Reid was straight,
I would have put a different face forward, like one that had makeup on.
Hey, if the guy wants ladies to know he's available,
he's got to stop dropping words like "partner" and being all cut.
I mean, seriously, have you ever seen a hetero guy that works out that often?
Doug was his E.
M.
T.
partner, idiot, and just 'cause you're jealous of his body.
Okay.
You should drop it now.
- No, seriously.
- He's right behind you.
- Hey.
Reid.
- Rent check.
I hope you don't mind.
I backed out $60 for your share of the groceries.
Ephram said it was only $20.
It was -- for him.
The only thing that kid ever eats is pasta.
Hey, Amy, I wanted to ask you if you had any plans this weekend.
Okay.
I'll see you guys later.
This weekend? Like, for Halloween? I-I don't think I do.
A bunch of us are volunteering at this haunted house.
The med school's sponsoring it for this charity,
and I think they're gonna set it up in one of those big ag barns over on east campus.
So I was thinking, maybe you'd like to come.
I mean, unless you're not into it, which is cool.
No, no, I'm totally into it.
The kids -- I mean -- or scaring them or whatever.
Yeah? Great.
Then you are officially on the scream team.
I swear to god, that's what they call it.
I didn't just make that up.
I got to go, but I will e-mail you all of the info, okay?
Sounds good.
Saturday night.
Don't forget.
I don't know.
I might be too hungry for a Caesar.
Have you tried their italian meat loaf?
Excuse me.
Come on.
You've had your nose in this all day.
I'm curious.
"Batteries, socks, campho-phenique.
"
It's a shopping list.
I can see that.
"Toilet tissue, insect repellent.
"
I love that you call it "toilet tissue" -- very dainty.
I happen to be going camping this weekend,
and I can assure you once you have endured the agy on of Poison Ivy of the posterior,
you never forget to bring the charmin.
Camping, huh? What's the occasion?
It's tradition -- every year, the Abbott men cast off the bonds of our workaday lives
and escape to the outdoors to rediscover our inner woodsman --
fresh air, nature, father/son bonding.
It's invigorating.
It sounds like fun.
I wish Ephram and I had something like that.
Surely you both have things you enjoy doing together -- Brown family traditions.
No, not really.
Yelling, maybe, or door slamming.
We're good at those.
Lord knows I'm going to regret this, but perhaps you two should join us.
It might be good for both of you.
I don't think so, Harold.
We're city boys.
About the only thing we do agree on is that nature sucks.
What's cracking?
Oh, not much.
Just getting ready for a lesson.
Oh, a package came for you.
Oh, sweet.
Oh, I gotta say, I'm pretty impress with the
how seriously you're taking this whole piano thing.
You got any hottie for students?
No, I've got several wing nuts playing "row row your boat" and I have this kid Kyle who's
actually pretty good so I've been spending all my time on him.
Which is ironic since he's the only one not paying me .
Yeah, here we go.
Right on schedule.
Can you believe this? Just because I never made eagle scout,
he thinks I don't know what to pack.
- Who?
- My dad.
It's the big father/son camp out this week end.
Which means stuck in the woods for 2 days.
Sleeping on rocks and crappy tents with no cable.
Yeah, no, I heard about it.
Your dad invited my dad who invited me.
Oh, sweet.
Well, I'm not going.
You're kidding me.
Why?
Why'd you say no?
I don't know.
Habit?
Dude, you should seriously come.
Have you ever been to savage golf?
There's trails, there's, like, rock climbing, there's this bad *** lake.
Get off it, dude, you just described the week end as stuck in the wood
It was before I knew that you were invited.
Besides it's not that I don't want to go, it's really cool,
it's just you know, the routine it's getting so old.
He's got an itinerary.
- It's actually laminated.
- Yeah.
He hasn't changed it since I was ten years old.
Seriously Dude, you have to go.
You said you and your dad were doing better.
We are -- kind of.
So, take it to the next level.
Bound it up.
Yeah, I don't know if I'm ready to bound in the woods.
I was thinking about maybe going to see a movie or something.
Won't be that bad, we'll just hang out, do a little fishing, cook over a fire.
Come on.
Call your dad back right now, say yes.
I can't.
I already booked all these lessons with Kyle.
I can't cancel now.
That wouldn't be cool.
Whatever.
Guess I won't be woodling you up, letter opener.
It's kinf of embarrasing, I'm not even sure you can do anything about it.
Well, we won't know that until you tell me about it, right? So
Okay.
I guess
Well, basically, I've been wetting my pants.
It started a couple of months ago, whenever I would sneeze ou something,
and it sort of became this thing with my friends -- "Bonnie bed wetter" and all.
But lately it's gotten worse, and it's starting to affect my work.
How's the law business treating you?
Oh, it's fine.
Don says hi, by the way.
And congrats to Irv on the book.
Anyway, I was in court last week, and it happened again, and it was mortifying.
You have kids?
Two boys and the sweetest girl you'll ever meet.
- How old is cheryl now?
- 16.
- Oh, my god.
- She got her driver's license.
Okay, your condition is called stress urinary incontinence.
It's very common amongst women your age who've had kids.
And all it is, is the *** growing weaker with age.
The good news is, I can fix it.
- Really?
- Yep?
I can go in with a laser, do a reconstruction on the muscles.
And you'll be as good as new.
We're talking about surgery?
Well, technically, but it's minor.
It takes about an hour, there's no hospital stay,
and you'll be back on your feet, three days max.
Easy stuff.
Knock, knock.
Just wondering how much longer, do you think?
My botox was supposed to be 45 minutes ago.
Excuse me.
This is a private office.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Are you the one who does the injections?
I'll inject you right now if you don't get out of here.
I do them.
We've just been crazy busy around here today.
So if we're all good here, Edna can get you on the schedule.
Just let me know if you have any questions.
It's nice to meet you.
Right this way, please.
I'm sorry, Bonnie.
- Who was that woman?
- No idea.
They've been coming out of the woodwork lately.
It's a good thing I'm not the one with a needle near her face.
You're rushing again.
Adagio.
Nobody at Juilliard wants to listen to this crap.
It's boring.
Okay.
You got a bug up your ***.
I totally get it.
Sometimes I get frustrated with new stuff, too,
but you just got to work through it.
You got to find the hardest passage,
keeping hammering away until you nail it.
It probably happens to you a lot.
What?
Passages you can't play.
I don't have that problem.
Nice try.
Back to the coda.
We're seriously gonna waste more time on this junk?
Come on, now.
You know what? You're right.
Yeah, you're right.
Let's move on to something else, and let's cancel the lesson for this weekend.
That way you can actually take the time to learn the piece.
I don't want to learn it.
Okay, then pick something else and learn that.
I got some of my own stuff to take care of.
- Are you playing again?
- No.
No, I'm gonna go, uh, camping with my dad.
You think I give a rat's?
What's your problem now?
No problem.
Have fun with your daddy.
Maybe I'll see you next week if you're done bonding.
Let me out of here!
You look like an eskimo.
Unzip me, because my glasses are getting all foggy.
Oh, my god.
Now you look like a mermaid.
I freakin' love mermaids.
What?
I'm not doing anything.
Yes --
- I'm just --
- Oh, my gosh!
- You know what I just realized?
- What?
I'm not gonna see you for three whole days.
We've never done this horizontally before.
I know.
Wait.
Sorry.
It's okay.
What?
No, it's nothing.
It's just, uh
W hat?
You know I don't believe in premarital sex, right?
Huh?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Of course.
I-I knew that.
I thought so.
I just wanted to double-check, just to be sure.
Yeah.
You're obviously religious, so I figured you had those beliefs.
So, are you, like, full-on serious about practicing those beliefs in real life?
I'm just kidding.
Of course you are.
Of course I knew that you were.
Good, good, good.
That's what I figured.
Wait.
So -- so when you say "sex," I mean, what -- what does that mean exactly?
I guess anything that has the word "sex" in it, I'm not comfortable doing.
Oh.
Okay.
Okay.
What about the word "job"?
- Bright!
- I just want to be clear.
I just want -- I don't --
I don't want there to be any confusion when we're navigating around and up and down -- wherever.
We can still make out all the time.
I really like that part -- a lot.
Me too.
Okay.
You know what? We should probably keep packing.
Packing -- that's a good idea.
Okay.
So, I was thinking you should probably take your parka with you.
It's supposed to get pretty cold there at night.
Plus, you know, the wind-chill factor.
Do you have enough socks?
There's only one pair.
I don't get it.
If Ephram hates camping, then why is he going?
I don't know.
But the fact that he's willing to spend time with me is huge.
So, what do you think -- scrabble or trivial pursuit?
Board games? That's how you're gonna win him back?
Good point.
Okay.
What about these? We could play poker by the campfire.
Or is that just too desperate?
Maybe you should just leave him alone.
That way you'll look like the cool one, and he'll want to hang out with you.
That's not such a bad strategy.
Don't be shocked.
I know stuff.
I'll just be more hands-off.
I won't talk to him.
I won't pressure him into doing anything he doesn't want to do.
And if I do have to engage with him, I'll just get in quick and get out quicker.
This family needs so much help.
I didn't sign up for this.
We got files out the ***.
I'm a month behind in reimbursements.
Hell, I can't even remember when I actually took somebody's blood pressure.
We're busier than a cat covering crap on a marble floor, and Jake just keeps piling it on.
"We'll stay open later.
We'll work on saturdays.
"
I'll bet you he hasn't spent five minutes with a patient in the last month,
and that's two minutes longer than a botox takes.
Are you even listening to me?
I hear you.
I tried to take you away from all this.
You could be sitting on a beach in greece now, but you wanted to stick to nursing.
This isn't nursing.
It isn't even medicine.
You ought to see the hussies waltzing in and out of there, like it's some kind of day spa up at Aspen.
I tied tourniquets in nam, for god's sake.
I helped deliver half the kids of Peak County.
Now it's all skin scrubs and face peels and god knows what else.
I got zero interest, let me tell you.
I hear you, pumpkin.
But let me just get your opinion on something.
Which of these pictures do you like better?
Holy hell.
You're one of them.
What are you talking about?
This isn't you.
You haven't looked this good since -- you never looked this good.
Well, they touched them up a little, but that's why I like it.
A little? What is wrong with this world?!
When did everybody become so obsessed with their appearance?
I'm not obsessed.
I just want to look good.
The fact is, people do judge a book by its cover.
My editor's got the market research to prove it.
I don't give a flying flip.
The man upstairs made us the way we are, and it's fool's work to change it.
There's nothing wrong with progress, whether it's medicine or photoshop.
We might as well take advantage of it while we can.
You're a lot of things, Harper, but vain was never one of them.
You ought to be ashamed.
So, you don't like either of these?
Gentlemen, welcome back.
Let's snap to it.
Up.
Let's get those groceries squared away A.
S.
A.
P.
We don't want any scavengers catching the scent of our food.
There's no bears out here, dad.
We just passed a guy watching satellite in his skivvies.
Well, no need to take any chances.
Now, we are slightly behind schedule due to a certain newcomer's lack of facility with tent raising.
But if we get the firewood detail started now, we should -- whoa, whoa, young man,
- what are you doing?
- Helping.
That would be our tent.
Yours is there with your father.
I'm sorry.
I didn't realize there was assigned seating.
That's fine with me if the boys share a tent.
Is that okay with you, Ephram?
I don't care.
Whatever.
- Yes, but
- Harold, it's gonna be fun.
We can tell ghost stories.
I do a great bit with a flashlight.
We don't waste batteries on bits.
Okay.
Whatever you say.
I'm gonna get my pillow.
Pillow?
You know, this is not the four seasons.
I just feel so lucky, you know?
He's the lucky one, Hannah.
He couldn't have been more of a gentleman about it,
even though I know he must have been disappointed.
It's really not that big of a deal.
Can you imagine if I made a fuss over not having fun at that stupid kegger
when he's sacrificing this huge thing for me?
I mean, Bright was like a sex addict before.
The word is "perv.
"
- Amy!
- Well, sorry, but it's true.
I mean, even Bright's not stupid enough to throw away the best relationship he's had over sex.
It wouldn't even be a real relationship if someone wasn't sacrificing something for the other person.
That's what relationships are all about -- sacrifice, compromise, effort.
God, I miss it.
Maybe Reid will be your new boyfriend, and we can all double.
Cart, horse, Hannah.
First I need to find a costume.
What do you think?
Scary witch or naughty pilgrim?
Well, it depends.
Is this an official date, or is it more of a group thing?
It's kind of groupy, but he did ask me in a date like way, so I'm not exactly sure.
But whatever it is, I need to take full advantage because Reid's only seen the pyjama phase,
thought you were gay, so I shared too much version of me.
Last time we were hanging out, I was wearing a baseball cap and sweats.
I think you look cute in sweats.
Well, you have to think that because you're my best friend.
But now that Reid is technically available, I want him to see me as someone that's,
- you know
- Hot?
Yeah.
And let's face it -- he's totally out of my league.
He's a med student.
I'm a freshman.
He's learning to save lives.
I barely have a life.
He obviously likes you, or he wouldn't have asked you out to a saturday-night holiday event.
Plus, he came and found you at work, didn't he?
Yeah.
And his friends are gonna be there, which means he wants to show you off.
Oh, it is so a date.
Maybe you're right.
And if you are, I got to break out the big guns, let him know I can compete on his level.
Oh, yes.
Definitely the naughty pilgrim.
Gentlemen.
We are headed out for a little pre-dinner stargazing if you would care to join us.
The pleiades are out, and orion is rising in an october sky.
Sorry, dad.
We're on chef duty.
It's not cool to leave the fire.
Well, they're just hot dogs.
It's not really a two-person job.
That corn still needs to be buttered and wrapped.
- I could stay and help.
- I will not stargaze alone.
We will be back in approximately 28 minutes.
Brown, let's go.
You don't really expect me to help, do you? 'Cause the only thing I can cook is yogurt.
No.
Listen.
I kind of got to talk to you about something.
Tonight or?
Hannah's not gonna have sex with me.
Oh.
Wow.
Yeah.
I know.
We were making out the other day.
Things got a little en fuego.
She drops the bomb.
She's not gonna have premarital sex until she's married.
That's it? Never mind.
So, uh, what exactly does she mean by "no sex"?
No sex.
Nada.
Everything that's not kissing is off the table.
Can you believe that?
I mean, it's Hannah, so kind of, yeah.
I mean, she goes to church all the time.
- I know.
- It's really not that shocking.
I know.
I know.
It's so weird.
So, basically, we're gonna be like friends who kiss.
I mean, I could have that if she went back to Minnesota.
It would be like phone sex
without the sex.
That is rough.
I'm sorry.
So, I mean, what would you do if you were me?
I don't know.
Okay, well, let's say this isn't gonna change, which it probably isn't -- is it a deal breaker?
I mean, if this is all there is, are you okay with that?
I don't know.
I don't know.
What time is it?
Time, if you recall from our itinerary, to seize the day
and all of the trout in lake chester.
Up and at 'em, Brown.
The rainbow waits for no man.
Yeah.
I'm going back to sleep.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
So, exactly why are you here, doctor?
This trip was supposed to be about bonding with your son.
Thus far, you have spent all of 10 minutes with him since we pulled into the parking lot.
Not true.
We had dinner.
I told the joke about the nuns.
He laughed.
It was great.
I am offering you an opportunity for the ultimate father/son experience here,
so get up, go grab your petulant son, and start establishing some traditions.
We have established a tradition.
It's called "not fighting for 24 hours," and so far, it rocks.
You know what? Fine.
Fine.
You stay here.
See if I care.
But while you are sleeping the day away, my son and I will be down at that lake
making memories to last us a lifetime
or at least until next year, which, just so we're clear, you are not invited to.
Goodbye, Harold.
Happy memory-making.
Hello?
Hello?
- Amy.
Hey.
- Hi.
Glad you made it.
- Pretty cool, huh?
- Funny.
What's this?
Uh, just my costume.
I hope it's okay.
Oh, cool -- pilgrim.
But you won't need it.
We actually have one for you over at the sign-in table.
Thank you.
It's really cool.
You are going to be a scarecrow in the farm of frights.
No.
"Scary crow," get it?
Yeah.
Thank you.
So, this must be your friend.
Yeah.
Amy, this is Alice.
Alice, Amy.
We are in cell bio together.
Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
- Hi.
They have some really great makeup and props upstairs,
so check it out before all the good stuff's gone.
Okay.
Great.
Where should I meet you?
I mean, like, where's our spooky farm?
Oh, oh.
I'm not in your scene.
Alice and I got the "shake and bake.
"
It's so great -- he sits in this fake electric chair, and I get to execute him every 30 seconds.
Ooh.
How fun for you.
Um, so, am I alone or --
No, I think there's someone else in your scene.
- It's gonna be fun.
- It sounds great.
We got to go.
We'll, um, hook up with you later, okay?
All right.
Have fun.
Hi.
I'm Milo, your dead farm boy.
Hi.
I just --
In a few minutes.
Please sit down.
Excuse me.
Let me guess -- botox?
Microderm abrasion.
But do you think I need botox, too?
Because I can have them both done if --
Is there anyone here with an actual medical problem?!
Uh, Edna, my office -- now.
What the hell was that?
I've had it, Hartman.
10 minutes to 12:00, and we're already an hour late.
And I've got a roomful of cackling hens
who wouldn't know the difference between a c-section and a tummy tuck.
This isn't--
Hey! Sit down, shut your mouth, and listen to me for a minute.
I know what's bugging you, so you can get off your soapbox, because, frankly, I'm over it.
Is that right?
You don't know how to help on these new cosmetic procedures, and it's freaking you out.
Oh, give mea big, fat break.
You're feeling obsolete, and you're taking it out on the whole entire world
because you're either too scared or too stubborn to learn something new.
Why would I want to learn this crap?
Because it's your job!
Do you realize how many more cases we could take on if you would learn
how to do a botox or a simple collagen injection?
We wouldn't be two hours behind schedule every day.
This isn't a factory.
It's a medical office.
You'd take a rib out of an anorexic if you thought you'd make a buck on it.
What this is, Edna, is a business.
I'm not gonna apologize for what I do or for being good at it.
Would it kill you to set a broken arm every now and then
or stitch up a cut or two instead of worrying about some ***'s puffy eyelids?
It's not my job to judge my patients, just like you don't get to judge me.
You see, I can't even have this conversation with you because you're so damn defensive.
Don't you get what's going on here?
- You're missing out.
- On what?
On everything.
You should be trying to learn every new procedure you possibly can
so we can take on more and more complex cases around here.
It's like Bonnie --
I'm gonna have to pay a temp nurse because you can't be in the room.
What are you talking about? I told her I'd be right by her side.
You can't, Edna.
You're not qualified on the machine.
That's why I've been trying to get you to go to that laser seminar for the past three months.
I thought that was just for hair removal.
No.
No, there's so much more to it than that.
You have no idea.
There is a greater good here --
cleft palates, skin cancers.
There's so much more going on out there besides botox, and we could be helping so many people.
But right now, I'm drowning,
and you're part of the problem.
I need you to step up, Edna,
or step aside so I can find someone who will.
Hey.
Hey.
You have the padres with you?
No, I can't find them anywhere.
They must be making out.
Man, you have no idea how good you have it.
Your dad has totally changed, huh?
What are you talking about?
Well, he's so chill now.
He kind of goes with the flow, lets you do whatever,
and he actually cares what you have to say.
He doesn't treat you like a kid.
That's 'cause I don't let him.
If you want to change your situation, learn how to say no to your dad.
Trust me, he'll respect you more because of it.
Whatever.
It's not like it matters.
I'm not someone who deserves respect, anyways.
What'd you do?
Did you pee on the campfire again?
I'm gonna break up with Hannah.
Really?
Yeah.
I've been thinking about it nonstop.
I'm running scenarios through my head where we're dating.
We don't make it past the make-out stage.
I just can't see that.
I can't see where it goes next.
That makes sense.
So I'm officially that jerk who breaks up with a girl 'cause she won't sleep with him.
I'm that guy that parents warn their daughters about.
Nah, you're not that guy.
You used to be that guy, but you're not that guy anymore.
You just -- you have different expectations for a relationship.
That's fair.
Dude, come on.
You know this looks bad.
It looks bad, but you can't think about how it looks.
You're just being honest with yourself and what you need.
You've already had sex many, many times.
It's kind of hard to go back and erase that part of yourself.
You wouldn't ask Hannah to do the same thing, would you?
Would you?
I'm sorry.
What?
I'm still thinking about the "many, many times.
"
All I'm saying is if Hannah needed something that you couldn't give her, would you want her to stay with you
or would you want her to find somebody else who could give her what she needs?
I just want her to be happy.
There you go.
Yeah.
I get it.
I still feel like a jerk, though.
I know you do.
Fake.
Fake.
Everything here is fake -- fake guts.
No, thanks.
That's awesome.
I love this place.
I love this place.
Hi, Amy.
Hi, Sam.
How are you?
I need to talk to Hannah for a second, okay?
So can you just come sit right here?
You can hold on to this hand.
What happened to the pilgrim?
You don't even want to know.
What is going on?
This straw is making me all itchy.
Please tell me it's almost midnight.
Well, where's Reid?
I don't know.
He's off doing another scene somewhere with some ridiculously hot mummy chick.
I haven't even spoken to him all night.
He invited you out and he's hanging out with some other girl?
It's not a date, Hannah -- not even close.
- I am such an idiot.
- No, you're not.
Yes, I am.
I totally misread the situation.
He wasn't asking me out.
He was looking for volunteers.
How were you supposed to know that?
Seriously, why would I have ever assumed that he would like me?
He's nice to everybody, and now he probably knows that I like him, which is just humiliating.
Go home, sweetie.
I can't just leave.
Yes, you can.
Yes.
You can take Sam, and I will take your place.
You have had enough.
Really?
It's not a real relationship unless you're willing to make sacrifices, right?
Oh, my god, you are my favorite person.
Back at you.
Okay, go.
Go, go.
All right.
Thanks.
I'll see you later, Sammy.
What am I doing?
Couldn't sleep either, huh?
Uh, no.
Whoever's idea it was to serve rice and beans with Bright around ought to be shot.
I thought there was a frog loose in our tent.
Well, I brought something that might help us pass out
or at least find this all more amusing.
Ah.
Grappa.
Yeah.
It seemed like a good occasion.
So, why'd you ask me out here?
I don't know.
Why'd you say yes?
I asked you first.
You really want to know?
Yeah.
I wanted to spend time with you.
You said you wanted to know.
It's funny, 'cause, you know, it seems like you've been avoiding me lately.
No.
I haven't been avoiding you.
I've just been trying to give you your space.
'Cause you're scared of me?
No!
Yes.
Very much so.
Am I really that bad?
Sometimes.
Not always.
But, hey, here we are --
we got a fire, stars
a bottle of 50-proof italian fruit wine.
Tell me what's going on in your life.
Jeez, dad, get off my back, okay?
Just kidding.
Uh, what's going on in my life? Let's see.
I've got a 14-year-old kid giving me nothing but grief.
It's exciting.
Is that one of your students?
Yeah, this kid Kyle.
He thinks he's god's gift.
He's good, but he's a pain in the *** and a complainer.
Well, please explain.
I can't relate.
Yeah, I know.
I have a lot more respect for all the crap that I put you through.
Well, for all the times that you were a cocky pain in the *** -- and there were many --
there was usually a good reason.
So it's probably the same with him.
Now it's my turn.
I get to ask you a question.
Do I have to answer?
It would be nice if you did.
Why'd you come back to Everwood?
I'm still in love with Amy.
You better pass that grappa.
That's the thing about 12-hour train rides.
It gives you a lot of time to think.
I never should have broken up with her.
You did what you had to do at the time.
That's what I kept telling myself.
The truth is,
she was the best thing that ever happened to me, and I blew it.
I was pissed off at you.
I took it out on her.
Now all I want to do is tell her that I'm sorry, but it's too late for that.
I am glad I came home, though.
Me too.
Beautiful feeling
Everything's going my way
- Oh, what a beautiful morn--
- Dad!
It speaks.
I was beginning to think you'd fallen asleep up there.
Do I detect a touch of so urin your apple on this grand and glorious day?
There's nothing grand or glorious about this day.
What time are we going home?
Just -- can we go a little earlier? I have something kind of important I have to do today.
What could be so important
that it would be worth missing our traditional breakfast at Big Cecil's?
Fresh coffee, self-rising bread, the quirky local tabloids.
I don't want to have breakfast at Big Cecil's today, okay?
I just -- I gotta get home.
Why is that?
I don't want to talk about it, okay?
I don't want to be here anymore.
Didni even want to come in the first place.
I see.
Don't get all offended.
I'm certainly not all offended, Bright.
I simply don't understand where this is coming from.
You have always looked forward to this trip in the past.
Yeah -- in the past.
But now I'm kind of over it.
We do all of the same stuff.
You try to teach me things that you taught me 10 years ago.
I know you think I'm a slow learner, but --
I had no idea that you felt this way.
Let's head back.
Paddle *** the left.
Oh.
Sorry.
I didn't expect anybody to be here.
Look, uh I got a little harsh the other day.
Save it.
I thought about what you said.
You were right.
I haven't been pulling my weight around here,
and, personal issues aside, I'm not too proud of it.
Well, I could have done a better job keeping you in the loop about everything.
We're supposed to be a team.
The point being, I signed up for the course to get my cpsn credential.
It's three days in Denver starting tomorrow.
They were supposed to fax the confirmation.
Really?
That's great.
That'll be really helpful, Edna.
Here it is.
Colorado nurses institute.
Whoa.
$1,200.
Not including hotel.
All the botoxes you've been doing lately, I figured 4-star, minimum.
Plus meals.
Deal.
It's worth it.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm good.
I'm just a little overwhelmed.
As long as we're in the gut-check department, do you mind if I say something?
You don't have to take all those appointments.
What you said about not judging your patients -- I disagree.
A good doc is supposed to exercise discretion.
I'm worried about you, Doc.
You're always here, going a million miles an hour and never taking a break.
If you keep it up, you're gonna stroke out from the stress.
I know it's been pretty busy lately, but it'll slow down.
Maybe.
But try to remember the reason you came to this town in the first place.
When's the last time you had dinner with Nina
or went for a bike ride or just stayed home and did nothing?
Look at you -- it's sunday.
You ought to be out in the park with Sam.
This will all be here tomorrow.
Eyes on the prize, Hartman.
Amy?
She's doing her homework somewhere.
Amy?
Amy.
Wake up, sweetheart.
There's someone here to see you.
- Reid.
- Hey.
Hi.
How are you?
I'm good.
Sorry.
I didn't know you were crashed out back here.
Just, um, just doing some homework.
Contemporary poetry.
Clearly very interesting stuff.
I hope you don't mind.
I asked Bright where you lived,
'cause, um, I was a little worried about you.
- About me?
- Yeah, about you.
What happened last night? Hannah said you got sick or something.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I got, um
I think I ate too much candy corn or something like that.
All that orange dye -- not good for the stomach.
I puke easy.
Well, next time, you should try to find me.
I am a doctor, you know.
Or at least I'm trying to be.
Yeah, I didn't want to interrupt.
You seemed pretty busy with Alice.
Well, Alice had to, um
leave early to be with her boyfriend.
So
Really? That's nice.
- You are funny.
- Not on purpose.
And pretty, too.
Would you mind if I, um
Oh.
I'm sorry.
That's my lab partner.
I got to go.
You, um no more candy corn for you, okay?
Oh, mom, just 10 more minutes.
We got to go.
Uncle Clark's making burgers, and I have the buns.
Hi, Ephram.
Hey.
The kid's on fire today.
See? Five minutes.
Sorry.
We gotta go.
Fine.
I got tause the bathroom first.
Well, somebody's in a good mood today.
Must have had an all-right weekend.
His weekends are always pretty much the same.
He doesn't have any friends, really.
He doesn't do much more than play the piano by himself.
Is that normal?
Well, I don't know if it's normal, but you just described my childhood.
You know, I don't know much about music and I don't know what you guys talk about in here,
but whatever you're doing, it's working.
He looks forward to these lessons a lot.
If he looks forward to this, I'd hate to see him around stuff he dreads.
He's had a tough week.
His birthday came and went, and his dad didn't even call -- not that I expected him to, but
I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
Where is his father?
I don't know.
His dad left me for a diner hostess in Boulder
when Kyle was about 10, and I haven't heard much from him since.
Anyway
I know my kid can be a handful sometimes,
and I feel really bad about not being able to pay you.
So for whatever reason you're doing this, thanks.
When you called earlier, you really made his day.
Mom.
Everything's locked, so we're gonna have to stop somewhere.
Hey, good job today, man.
Do me a favor --
work on the concerto for tomorrow.
Do me a favor.
Take a shower next time, 'cause you kind of stink.
Come on.
We gotta go.
So, how was camping? You know, Delia bet me 10 bucks you'd be home yesterday.
I guess I suckered her right out of that cash.
Teaching my daughter how to gamble -- I'm so glad I leave her in your care.
Please.
I've already introduced her to *** and vibrators.
Gambling's the least of your worries.
How was the weekend? Was it everything you hoped it'd be?
Yeah, and then some.
- Right next to you?
- Yeah.
On the thing.
So he's sitting there, and suddenly he just kisses me.
- Oh, my gosh!
- I know.
Can you believe it?
- And then what happened?
- I can't tell you right now.
My break was over 10 minutes ago,
but I'll call you later.
Oh, hey, Dr.
Brown.
Hi, Amy.
You're back! Hi!
How was it? Was it fun?
I thought you'd be here -- oh.
I thought you'd be back hours ago.
Yeah, it was good.
It was fun.
I want to hear everything.
Come on in.
Oh my gosh! You are never gonna believe what happened to Amy.
It was so crazy.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I'm really happy to see you.
Really?
Hey!
Are you guys gonna play with me, or what?
Well, Sammy, give Bright a second to get settled, okay?
Yeah, Sammy, just give me a second to get settled!
