"My life..." "Is over." "No, it's not." "I know you may feel that way, but, uh..." "Look, I don't think you agreed to couples counseling just for Kelly's benefit." "And I think that most soldiers who are serious about killing themselves, they use their weapons." "So that makes me think that you don't want to die." "You want to talk." "And I want to listen." "You said it was your sergeant, right?" "Sergeant Hamill." "He backhanded me across the jaw." "He knocked my feet out, and then he kicked me to the ground." "He braced one arm against my neck."

"Hey, about this morning, I, uh, I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable." "Well, it isn't about me." "Lucas almost saw you." " But he didn't." " This time." "Maybe you shouldn't have your friend over when you know Lucas is gonna be there." "Well, first of all, I didn't know that Scott was going to be dropping by." "And second of all, seriously?" "I mean, I know this bothers you" "Just keep him away from Lucas." "Hey, Pete." "Hey." "I just heard about Mason and Erica." "How are they doing?" "Erica has a concussion, but no serious injuries." "Mason is pretty freaked out after watching his mother fall asleep at the wheel." "I'm so sorry." "That's awful." "I know." "I'm just, uh, trying to hang on here and." "Are you having more Pete drama?" "Oh, yeah." "It's just silly." "It's nothing, really." "I could use a little silly." "What happened?" "Um, this morning," "Pete walked in on me kissing a guy." "Who's the guy?" "Uh, you know, it's a paramedic." "It's a guy named Scott." "Oh, from St. Ambrose, the young guy?" " He's old enough." " That's-- that's not what I meant." "He's very handsome." "Does he need a booster seat in the ambulance to, like, see over the steering wheel or can he just" " Sorry." "(Chuckles)" "Pete had Lucas with him when he walked in on us this morning." "Oh." "Well, I understand Pete not wanting Lucas to see you doing some guy." "Not do" " I'm-- I'm not doing him." "I'm not-- We're not doing it." "We're just" " We're just, like, fooling around." "(Lowered voice) It's kinda like in high school, you know, when it was all lips and hands and swoony, unconsummated" "Okay, okay." "Did Lucas see you?" "No." "Well, then it's just Pete's ego talking." "I mean, you guys are separated, right?" "Doesn't that mean you get to date other people?" "I don't know what the hard and fast rules are." "I-I mean, what do you think?" "You think it's crazy for me to be seeing somebody else while Pete and I are..." "Whatever we are?" "You know what?" "If it makes you happy, I think it's great." "And I think you should enjoy it." "And I think it's important for Lucas, as an only child, to have someone that he has to share his toys with." "(Laughs) Oh, my God." "(Mouth full) I think I can see your arteries closing up from here." "Totally worth it." "How can you eat like that?" "Just something I do when I go through a breakup." "I eat." "Anything that's not nailed down goes in my mouth." "I don't know why." "The worse the breakup, the more I eat." "When my ex-husband left me," "I actively decided to get fat." "It was my only plan." "Pack it on." "Massive fatness, like, you know, rolls on your back, really big thighs." "(Laughs)" "(Laughs) I don't know, like a layer of..." "Layer of protection between me and the rest of the world." "Oh." "I loved that plan." "Well, did it work?" "I mean, did you get fat?" "No." "I have the metabolism of a marathon runner." "It was very disappointing." "But this bacon cheeseburger" "This is a "Sam Left Me" bacon cheeseburger, and I plan on enjoying..." "(Whispers) Every bite." "Oh, I hear you." "Breakups are hard." "(Laughs)" "What?" "When has a breakup been hard for you?" "I mean, you're usually the one doing the dumping." "Am I wrong?" "Who would dump you?" "Look at you." "You're the definition of a catch." "Okay, look, I-I've never officially been dumped, but I've never had a woman try to get fat for me either, so I can't be that much of a catch." "(Laughs)" "Maybe not." "(Crunches)" "(Laughs)" "Two bedrooms." "No, three." "And at least two bathrooms." "Yeah, I..." "Look, I-I want my house." "Just not my house." "Okay?" "Thank you." "Why is it so hard to understand that I wouldn't want to live there after a man was stabbed to death in my dining room?" "(Sighs)" "(Taps)" "Are you okay?" "Yeah, yeah." "I just need some advice." "(Box clatters)" "I've been treating a male soldier whose sergeant raped him." "He was too ashamed to tell anybody about it." "And he was afraid if he did speak up, nobody would believe him." "Well, that's a valid fear." "You don't often think about men getting raped." "Certainly not soldiers." "Yeah." "I did some digging." "And the number of male veterans who answered yes when asked if they had been sexually assaulted or harassed, it-- it ran into the thousands just last year." " And it's going up." " That's horrifying." "It's hard to know how to approach this." "Well, you've treated rape victims before." "Yeah, but not men." " Well, rape is rape, Sheldon." " Is it?" "You know how hard it is to get a woman to come forward after an attack, but imagine how humiliating it is for a man, let alone one trained to be a warrior." "Okay, well, male or female, the work is the same." "It doesn't feel the same." "Sheldon, I-I'm not sure you're doing him any favors by being overly sensitive to his gender." "No, gender is central to the shame that my patient is feeling." "I mean, he-- he was so overwhelmed by the attack, that his... his nervous system went into a freeze response, his body shut down." "Now if a woman responds this way, most people think that she did what she had to do to make the assault end, right?" "But if a man doesn't fight back, he's gonna question whether or not he's really a man." "And unfortunately, so will a lot of people around him." "Amelia can't excise the tumor?" "No, not this one." "It's too invasive." "Does Mason have any idea what's going on?" "He knows what he saw." "Wait." "You didn't explain the circumstances?" "Well, I'm trying to protect him as long as I can, and Erica doesn't want him to know." "I know he's just a child, but..." "I mean, he needs time to prepare himself for the loss." "Yeah, but does knowing that someone is dying necessarily help you prepare?" "I mean, he is a kid." "It might just make him worry longer." "Cooper, can I have a minute?" "They know." "What did Erica's CT scan show?" "Uh, the tumor's still growing." "Is that what caused the accident?" "Best guess, the tumor precipitated a seizure." "(Sighs) Which is why Mason said his mom fell asleep." "When she refused the treatment, Erica knew" "I mean, we knew that the symptoms could increase rapidly." "It's only gonna get worse." "Can you be more specific?" "Well, uh, most likely," "Erica only has a few months to live, but during that time, as the pressure increases on her brain, it's possible that she could become paralyzed." "She could lose her sight." "She could lose her speech." "I'm sorry, Cooper." "(Monitor beeping steadily)" "Mason." "Is Mason okay?" "He's fine." "Just scared." "(Sighs) And me?" "You're bruised and you have a concussion." "No serious injuries." "You were both incredibly lucky." "A car cut us off." "I swerved to get out of the way, but I just" "I lost control." " Well, that's a lie." " Cooper." "You had a seizure and you blacked out." "Why are you angry at me?" "Because Mason was in the backseat, and you could have killed him." "You think I did this on purpose?" "Well, you've refused chemo, and now your symptoms are..." "Look, you will not drive Mason anymore." " Don't tell me what to do with my son." " Well..." "I'm the one who's taken care of him every day of his life." "You've only been around, what, five minutes?" " And whose fault is that?" " Coop." "Excuse me." "This is a terrible situation, but I cannot let you make it worse." "So I'm telling you right now, if you get behind the wheel and Mason's in the car," "I will have your license revoked." "You want to kill yourself, that's fine, but I will not let you hurt Mason." "(Cries)" "I don't understand." "He'll get through this." "Okay?" "You both will." "Maybe I-I pushed him too hard." "Maybe we're not therapy people." "And the sex stuff, I mean, I can live without that." "I just can't live without Rick." "No, this... (Sighs) This wasn't your fault." "Well, then why did he do it?" "Come here." "(Indistinct conversations)" "Hi. (Laughs)" "We're here for the conference." "Uh, Dr. Addison Montgomery." "Okay." "Is a king bed acceptable?" " Sure." " And your name to put on the room?" "Oh, no, no, no, no." "We're not together." "(Laughs) No, no, we're not together." "But you should have a room for a Dr. Jake Reilly." "There's a meet and greet in the ballroom for all the conference attendees." "Great." "Okay, then." "I will, uh, see you in the ballroom." "I'll see you in the ballroom." "So..." "You're here alone." "Yes, I am." "(Laughs)" "You both agreed to see other people, so that means you don't get to pick her partner." "I don't want to pick her partner." "I just want her to be a little more discreet when Lucas is around." "I get that." "And have better taste." "Come on now." "You slept with another woman." "There's a difference between being with someone for one night who you'll never see again and dating someone that I work with and inviting him into my home." "Well, Violet's home."

"Good, because my son is being hurt, and there's nothing I can do about it." "I'm not sure that's true." "Look, you can be angry and sad and frustrated and a hundred other things." "I don't blame ya, 'cause there's no easy way to deal with this." "There is a hard way to deal with it." "Erica can try to fight." "She may not be successful, but she could do it, with our help." "I tried." "You demanded, but you have to remember," "Erica is angry and sad and frustrated, too." "And maybe what she needs right now isn't someone telling her that she has to fight this fight." "Maybe what she needs is someone helping her understand why she should fight it." "(Kelly) He just..." "He let it happen." "He didn't let it happen." "Your husband is a survivor of a sexual assault." "The first time that I saw Rick, he was on leave, visiting some high school buddies." "And..." "I went to this dive bar with a couple of girlfriends, and... it had a great jukebox." "And Rick was feeding every quarter he had into it." "And when he introduced himself, he said, "I can't dance, but for you, I would try."" "(Chuckles)" "And when I took his hand, I thought, this man would never let anything bad happen." "(Inhales deeply)" "This man would keep me safe." "But that man is gone." "I know that all this..." "Must be a shock to you." "And please forgive me for even bringing this up." "But if you had been raped, and Rick were to blame you..." "When I look at him now..." "I don't feel the same." "(Voice breaks) And I know how bad that sounds." "I just don't know what to do." "Didn't you tell me your father was wounded in Vietnam?" "Yeah." "He lost his, uh, his right leg below the knee." "Well..." "Rick was wounded in Afghanistan." "His injury may not be as visible as your father's, but... it's just as real." "Don't blame him for something that wasn't his fault." "I was impressed." "I mean, if I had been that hungover," "I don't think I could've given such a-a focused presentation." "Well, I was driven by shame and humiliation." "Also the fact that you promised we'd stop for another burger on the way home." " Oh, is that right?" " Yeah. (Laughs)" "I don't remember that part, but okay." "Thank you..." "For being so amazing last night." "I-I really..." "(Chuckles)" "I appreciate it." "No problem." "(Sighs)" " And you're wrong, you know?" " What?" "I've been dumped before." "When I was on that plane to Fiji, and you weren't in that seat next to me" "Oh, you didn't even wind up going." "It still felt like getting dumped." "It felt like you dumped me." "Jake" "No, I'm just saying, if someday I get drunk and show up on your doorstep, fat from bacon cheeseburgers and demanding sex... (Laughs)" "Look out." "(Laughs)" "(Laughs)" "(Typing)" "What?" "(Continues typing)" "What?" "I don't want you seeing Scott anymore." "Well, that's not really your call." "It is when it affects Lucas." "That's not what's really bothering you." "(Scoffs and laughs) I-I just love it when you tell me what I'm really thinking." "You know what?" "You left me." "Do" "Do you even understand that?" "You left me, Pete." "I asked you," "I practically begged you to stop me from walking out that door, but you didn't." "You didn't do a damn thing." "You let me go!" "And now you have the audacity, you have the gall to tell me that I can't see someone else?" "It's fine." "Do whatever you want, Violet." "I don't care anymore." "You didn't care then." "Why should now be any different?" "Go to hell, Violet." "I want to go home." "Let's see how it goes today." "I don't think Kelly will be there." "She hasn't returned any of my calls." "I know that's disappointing." "But even if that's the case, telling her the way you did, you should be very proud." "Your life still has value, Rick." "Hey." "You feeling any better?" "(Monitor beeping steadily)" "Th-this whole thing has..." "Been terrifying." "Yeah." "But there's no way out." "I can't make it better and I can't make it easier and I'm just... stuck in the worst possible place." "It is a..." "Terrible situation for... (Laughs)" "A lot of different reasons." "And look, even though it doesn't take anywhere near the amount of courage for me to ask you this as it does for you to say yes..." "Cooper." "Fight." "Please, Erica." "Please fight." "(Crying)" "Look..." "The odds are long, and it's gonna be miserable, and I can't promise you that you're gonna get enough extra time to make the hell that's chemo or radiation or whatever they do to you worth it," "but I can tell you this" "What you're doing now is not working." "I don't want to let you go." "I don't think you're ready to go." "And most importantly... (Hits bed)" "Maybe we'll get lucky." "(Continues crying)" "Maybe it'll just show Mason how much you care." "Maybe" " I don't-- I just don't know, Erica." "But please, just fight." "(Sniffles)" "(Exhales)" "Okay." "(Exhales)" "Hi." "Hi." "Are you okay?"
