"That's certainly where I was planning to settle." "Maybe I should go home." "Whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa,whoa." "Let's not overreact." "We can still do this.We just have to be careful." "What do you mean?" "Well,we can keep kissing,but,you know, amish-style with the tongues parked in the barn." "If you need to cough or sneeze,just tap me on the shoulder and I'll cover your face with a pillo and... you can use this." "Nasal spray.Thank you.That's so thoughtful."

"I don't have time,charlie." "But I'm sick.Who's going to take care of me?" "What do you want me to say?"

"Oh,it is." "I hate painting the hooves of this white she-bitch." "what was that?" "Just my delirious fever babble." "Bye,dear." "All right." "I'm on my own." "Maybe a little fresh air and sunshine." "And nighttime cold medicine." "Fresh air,sunshine and nighttime cold medicine." "And scotch." "Fresh air,sunshine,nighttime cold medicine,and scotch." "okay,just nighttime cold medicine and scotch." "Hi,charlie." "Rose?" "I thought you were in england." "I was asked to leave." "A little misunderstanding at buckingham palace." "So how are you?" "Not so good." "I'm sick." "Oh... poor baby." "Isn't anybody taking care of you?" "No,I'm all alone." "Well,that's just not right.I'll take care of you." "You will?" "Of course.Do you want me to make you some soup?" "I would love soup." "I asked everybody to make me soup." "You'd think I was asking for a kidney." "What are you doing?" "Nighttime cold medicine and scotch." "I call it "the drunken hulk."" "No,sweetie." "I have something better." "I doubt it." "Well,this is new." "Just approved in europe." "Ooh,europe,give me." "That's my little man." "Now,I'll go make you that soup." "Thank you." "Okay,europe,let's see what you've got." "That was a great pill.What was in that pill?" "It's a great pill." "Don't you worry about that." "You just get your rest." "You know what else is great?" "You showed up exactly when I needed you the most." "It's like you're my guardian angel." "Hey,you think I can get another one of those pills?" "No,sweetie,one's enough for now." "Just go to sleep." "Okay." "Good night." "Good night,charlie." "Can you hear me?" "Uh-huh." "Listen closely to my voice." "You're very,very sick." "I'm very,very sick." "But don't worry:" "Rose is going to take care of you." "Rose is going to take care of me." "Till death do us part." "I'm going to need another pill." "You know,it wouldn't kill you to thank me for dropping you off and picking you up." "Thank you for dropping me off and picking me up." "Jake,jake,wait." "What?" "okay,listen,I," "I know you're getting to that age where you'd rather be with your friends than with your old man, and it's okay." "It's completely normal for you to want to take your first steps to manhood on your own." "I applaud that." "But,I just hope that... while you're on this path,that every now and then you make an effort to carve out a little dad time." "well,that was humiliating." "Charlie?" "How are you feeling?" "Rose?" "Hi,alan." "What are you doing here?" "Taking care of charlie." "I'm very,very sick." "Go for it." "So,how long are you back in town?" "As long as charlie needs me."

"What are you doing out of bed?" "What do you think?" "let me help you." "Rose,I got this." "Just relax,sweetie." "I said I got it.Let go." "But you're sick.You shouldn't be lifting anything." "All right,I'm done." "Need a shake?" "No,thanks." "Okeydoke." "Now let's get you back into be rose..." "I appreciate you taking care of me,but I'm thinking the worst is over." "That's your mind playing tricks on you." "If you start running around too soon,you'll relapse,maybe get pneumonia." "Pneumonia?" "Your lungs fill up with fluid,you can't breathe, and you end up drowning in your own mucus." "You don't want that,do you?" "I don't want to drown in anybody's mucus." "Of course you don'T." "Open."

"I'm gettin' out of here before she comes back." "Are those comfy?" "'Cause they look really comfy." "Charlie?" "What are you doing up?" "Stay away from me,rose." "What's wrong,honey?" "Don't you call me "honey."" "Charlie,charlie,you need to calm down." "C-calm down?" "Thanks to her,I've been a drooling vegetable for two weeks!" "I was afraid of this." "He's running a very high fever,and he's hallucinating." "I am not running a fever." "Here,feel me.I am not hot." "A little clammy and none too fresh,but not hot."

"Playing anne frank in a bathtub." "Well,I give up." "I can't take care of you if you won't cooperate." "Oh,no,no,rose.Let's,uh... let's not be hasty." "It's been so nice these last couple of weeks." "What if charlie promises to behave himself?" "I am not promising nurse ratched here anything!" "Well,then,I guess I'll just leave." " You're not leaving." " I was bluffing." " Rose." " Sorry." "Well,I hope you are proud of yourself." "All she was trying to do was help you." "No,no,no,that's not what she was trying to do." "This was all a plot." "It started with getting me sick." "Then she drugged me to keep me helpless so she could move in and have her way with me." "Oh,really?" "Yse gotroou sick?" "It had nothing to do with you sticking your tongue down the throat of a flu-riddled bimbo?" "Okay,I'm not saying I know how she did it,but she did it." "Charlie,do you have any idea how insane this makes you sound?" "Uh,charlie?" "Fine,I'll wait outside." "I'm bored.Want to go see a movie?" "Now?" "Well,you got the listings there." "Jake,for the love of god... fine,but don't say I never asked." "You'll see.I have proof." "I didn't swallow the last pill she gave me so we can have it analyzed." "Right.We'll call csi and have them run some tests." "I hid it under my pillow,and... okay." "I don't have proof." "Rose?" "Oh,hi,lulu." "How'd your plan work out?" "Well,you were fine,but I think I may have overplayed it." "Well,if you want to take another swing at him,I think I'm coming down with mono." "Oh.Charlie's already had mono." "Give me a call if you get mumps or whooping cough." "Will do." "Oh,rose." "Oh,god,not another one."
