"Previously on side order of life..." " Hey.It's me - hi." "Where have you been?" "I'm calling from china." "The minute I get back,I have to see you." "How am I supposed to tell a total stranger " "I don't even know his name,I've never seen him,all we do is talk on the phone -- that I love him?" "Eduardo's the editor in chief of persona mia." "No -- just -- he somehow assumed that you were in love with me." "Can you believe that?" " Hell of an imagination that kid's got." " Yeah,right?" " Hi." " Hi." "I've come to court you." "Hey,dad." "It's me." "Just checking in." "Left you a couple messages and haven't heard back." "Just call me back,okay?" "I love you." "Hi,I'm in china until -- well,I'm not sure when." "And I don't have cell service,so leave a message here that I'll get to, hopefully,in the near future." "Take care." "Hey." "Uh,it's me." "I-I guess you're " " I guess you're still in china." "I'm kind of missing you and, uh,miss talking to you." "I miss... hearing your,uh,unique perspective." "Who are you talking to?" "Uh -- okay,oh,god." "Um,mom!" "Knocking!" "Oh,well,I didn't want to wake you." "Sorry,darling." "That sounded like a pretty intimate message." "Are you having phone sex?" "No,it was a friend." "A very good... friend." "That sounds lovely." "Anyway,you said the key was for emergencies." "I think this qualifies as one." "This is dad's handwriting." "Dear margot,I'm sorry to leave this in a note." "Our time on this earth is..." "Our time on this earth is too brief to waste." "I wish you the best of luck with the rest of... your life." "I hope you can find it in your heart to wish me luck in mine." "Richard." "I-I don't understand." "What,is he -- is he divorcing you?" "Why -- why this now?" "What difference does it make?" "He's gone." "The rest is just paperwork." "Are you okay?" "You seem,uh,calm." "Too -- too calm." "It's waiting for the inevitable that makes you crazy." "I'll scream and cry after I've had coffee." "Oh,by the way,do you have any cash?" "I feel like I should have a funeral for my so-called family." "I mean,all this time,I was the glue that held them together, and I felt so... incredibly guilty." "And now,suddenly,I..." "I miss the guilt." "Jen,you weren't the only reason." "They stayed together because,under the surface,there was a real connection between them." "Yeah." "You do that so effortlessly." "Oh,I took a class on how to apply makeup when you have cancer." "Check out my fake eyelashes." "Will you teach me?" "Nice." "Are you jealous?" "You know,maybe this is good for margot and richard." "They certainly weren't happy for a long time." "And just because the glue that held them together has come apart doesn't mean they're not stuck on you." "Hey,dad." "It's me... again." "Um,look,look..." "I just need to know that you're okay." "I-I read the note you left mom,and..." "I get it." "Believe me,I do." "But what I don't really understand is -- is what happened between us." "It seemed like we were just starting to connect and... ugh." "Anyway,just call me." "Okay?" "I love you.Bye." "What are you doing?" "You're late.Follow me." "When I was little I wanted it all to be like in a fairy tale." "Are you kidding?" "Fairy tales are filled with incredible violence towards women." "Red was eaten by a wF." "Snow white was forced to clean house for dwarves and she got food poisoning for her effort." "Cinderella." "She was liberated from her oppressed life through designer shoe wear." "You're right." "I can see the appeal of that one." "Are you sure you're not gay?" "10% and proud of it." "What's this?" "That is your assignment." "It's actually about a person who can make fairy tales come true." "It's to do a profile on this nurse named celia hutchinson." "They call her the coma whisperer." "The coma whisperer?" "She's known for being able to make people just wake up from comas, people who are,like,written off as hopeless." "How is that even possible?" "That's what I want you to find out." "Okay." "So,right now she is working with this little girl over at L.A.Hospital." "She's been comatose for six months." "Oh,that's so sad." "Yeah,speaking of sad,I'll be joining you and vivy for dinner tonight." "I told her that three was a crowd,but she insisted." "She insisted?" "Well,yeah,after I begged a little." "Excuse me." "Hey,have fun." "Good luck." "I'm dying to know What do you think?" "About what?" "My hair." "Did you change it?" "It's a wig." "No way." "Is that crazy?" "I mean,it's perfect." "Oh,can I touch it?" " Get out." " What am I,a dog?" "Hey,I got it." " When it comes to my girls,money's no object." " Thank you." "Well,it is an object with my suddenly single mother." "Vivy,please do me a huge favor." "Can I bring her by tomorrow?" "You can help me go through her finances." "Sure." "Why?" "'Cause margot's never thought about money in her life." "My dad used to give her envelopes filled with cash once a week." "I don't even think she's been to an atm." "She's got one credit card with this enormously high spending limit, which I'm sure she will max out in no time." "No telling when your dad's coming back?" "Yeah,or if he's coming back." "He literally just dumped margot in my lap." "He hasn't returned my phone calls." "Nothing." "I'm worried and pissed,and I miss him." "He'll be back." "He's just doing the guy thing." "He's getting out on the open road,wind in the hair,bugs in the teeth." "He'll clear his head,and he'll be back." "Speaking of hitting the open road,I'm going to mexico." "What?" "Dr.Rain has got me on these progressive cancer meds, and I'm worried I can't afford them unless I sell my house or knock over this restaurant." "Whoa,how much can it be?" "Thousands." "The insurance is only gonna cover the minimum." "What are you gonna do?" "Well,she has several patients that go over to tijuana and get the same meds for a fraction of the cost, so I am headed for south of the border." " Wait,tijuana.By yourself?" " Sure." "Vivy,you're not going to mexico alone." "Absolutely not." "I'm coming with you." "I'll be fine." "Once you cross the border,there's dozens of pharmacies." "No.Absolutely not." "It will take five hours to get there and back." "I mean,no." "I insist.I'm going." "Okay,rick." "I love you,but I'm a big girl,and I don't need protection." "Okay,first of all,yes,you do." "Second of all,american cancer patients being forced to go across the border to find affordable medication -- it's a pretty good story for the magazine." "Who's gonna write it,you?" "Yeah,me." "Yeah,I'm dying to get back in the trenches." "Okay." "Hey,I'll be right back." "Seriously,I want to do this story." "It means something to me." "Now I can't find her." "Her number was in my cell." "The problem is,I don't know where she works." "I don't know where she lives." "The flight from beijing took forever." "The turbulence was ridiculous." "The phone must have slipped out of my pocket." "I don't even know her name." "Thanks very much." "What's the matter?" "You look like you've just seen a ghost." " It's him." " Who?" "Cellphone man." "How do you know it's him?" "Because!" "It's his voice,and he was tking about -- he lost his cellphone,and he was in china." "Oh,and there was a girl's number that was on the phone that he lost." "What are you talking about?" "And he didn't know her name." "He's leaving.Go,go!" "Go after him!" "Go!" "Oh,god." "Hey,what's a cellphone man?" "Wait!" "Wait,wait,wait!" "Wait!" "That was him." "I just missed my chance." "Not while I'm around." "What's that?" "I grabbed his credit-card slip." "He left his copy." "We have a name!" "It's such a beautiful day out today." "The sun is shining." "Just the perfect day for you to think about going for a bike ride." "Hello,and you are?" "Jenny mcintyre,in person magazine." "You must be,uh,celia hutchinson?" "They told me you wanted to come and see me." "Let me introduce you." "Annabella fyfe,this is jenny mcintyre." "Well,where are your manners?" "Come over and say hello." "Uh... hi,annabella." "I'm jenny." "It's nice to meet you." "I believe she can hear everything we're saying." "Annabella contracted meningitis six months ago,and she's been unable to be roused." "But there's no reason to believe that she cannot comprehend this conversation." "Right,annabella?" "We're talking about you." "We want you up and out of this bed before your next birthday." "That's our plan." "The nurse,diana,is here to turn you now." "Thank you." "So,you're in the -- the business of miracles." "This is not a miracle,and please,please,I would appreciate it if you did not write that in your piece." "Would you mind describing your techniques to me a little?" "I gather all the information I can about the patient's life, and then I bombard them with their favorite music,movies,stories,even the smell of their favorite food." "I try to stimulate their brains." "I-isn't that what families do anyway?" "Of course,but they're pushed to the point of exhaustion -- emotionally,physically." "I believe that a coma is a treatable condition." "Even if it has gone on for months -- which goes against most of the medical community, which gives up hope if a patient is in an extended comatose state." "I'm here to prove them wrong." "I-I understand that you are,uh,paid well for what you do." "Annabella's parents can't afford to pay me anything,which is fine." "My last patient's family was in the oil business,and they paid me very well." "It all evens out." "Well,where are her parents?" "Uh,they're at work." "They'd rather be here,but they can't quit their jobs, or they'll lose the meager insurance they have." "I see." "This is lavender,annabella." "Do you remember how much you love that smell?" "I-if you don't mind my asking -- what kind of life is this for you?" "What kind of life is this for her?" "you look really freaking hot." "Yeah,comes with the package." "This car would make donald rumsfeld look hot." "Are you sure you're okay with the fact that,you know," "I built this car with,you know... with jenny's dad?" " Yeah." " Yeah." "I'm glad you guys got to do this thing together." "I hope someday the man I marry wants to do something cool like this with my dad." "Okay." "I want to talk to you about something." "Are you okay?" "I got an offer today from klein,denton,and kelso in seattle." "Associate partner." "It's nearly twice the money that I make here,and it's an unbelievable opportunity." "Yeah." "But you just moved here." "Yeah." "Then thi offer just fell right out of the clear blue sky." "You're happy,right?" "Of course." "Of course I'm happy for you." "It's a really short flight." "And I looked online,and the flights are cheap." "So,you know,you come up there for a weekend,I come down to L.A.For a weekend." "We meet sometimes in the middle in san francisco." "I think -- it's tricky,but -- but it's an amazing opportunity, and I " " I think we can make it work." "Yeah." "It's only a couple hours,right?" "I mean,hell,I can't get anywhere in L.A.In under an hour, so,yeah,sure." "We can make it work." "I love you." "I love you,too." "You know what I,uh,I really want to do?" "What?" "Drive." " Not a chance." " Let me drive!" " No way." " Come on!" "Okay." "Oh,I wish I could just call him." "He lost his phone." "How you gonna call him?" "I know." "All right." "Um,okay." "Brian fowler." "His name doesn't really have the sexy ring I was hoping for." "Yeah,but he's cute,right?" " You got a good look at him,didn't you?" " Yeah." " Okay." " Okay." "Um... brian fowler,weight loss guru." "Brian fowler,salon stylist." "Just save that for when my hair grows back." "Okay,he's all yours." "Uh,brian fowler -- oh -- import/export." "Okay,that sounds good." "Click on that." "Oh,los angeles-based brian fowler is running a new import/export firm dealing in natural products,blah,blah,blah." "Currently he's setting up distribution centers in india and..." " china." " China.Is there a photo?" "Okay.Uh,yeah." "Read more on brian fowler." "That's him!" "That's the guy from the restaurant!" "Oh,well,here's his work number." "Uh,okay." "Let's see.I'll just... you know what?" "It's -- it's friday." "It's his work number,so,um,you know,I'll just call him,uh,call him monday." "What's wrong?" "I don't know." "I've been living with the dream of cellphone man for so long, and what if the reality isn't as great as the dream?" "Oh,mom." "I always thought it would be so easy to be alone... without him." "You're not alone." "I love you,jenny." "I love you,too,mom." "And they're off." "It's mommy's broke leading the pack,followed by cellphone man." "On the outside is daddy's gone,neck and neck with broken engagement, followed by friend with cancer,and backstabbing becca crawling up the rear." "And they make their way around the final turn." "It's daddy's gone and cellphone man." "Mommy's broke is making a move with cellphone man holding steady." "Friend with cancer is coming on strong!" "And down the stretch they come!" "It's cellphone man and daddy's gone pulling away!" "Daddy's gone and cellphone man at the wire!" "am I broke?" "Uh,no,but you're certainly not free to spend as you please." "I think it would serve you best to be put on a set budget,and seeing the way you spend, it would be good if we set you on that budget A.S.A.P." "Oh,I've never had a head for money." "Then we'll put your head in the game right away." "Maybe I should just go on unemployment." "Uh,you had to have been employed to collect unemployment." "Well,then,I guess it's finally happened." "I've outlived my purpose." "My only skills were those of a well-bred woman from pasadena, and the only job I've ever held is trophy wife." "I'm the last of a dying breed,soon to be extinct, never to roam the malls again." "This is horrible." "I know I'm not supposed to take sides,but come on." "Akhe should call her." "He shouldn't have just disappeared like this." "Don'T." "Even if she begs you,don'T." "It's not good for you." "You can't stop this." "She has to skin her knee." "There's a real value in that for her." "This is how she's gonna grow." "I know." "You're right." "But it's awful to see her in this kind of pain." "So what about you?" "Any more thoughts about calling brian fowler?" "It's saturday." "You know,we only have his work number,so... all right.Take your time." "Bank shot." "So,I'm " " I'm thinking about taking my relationship with becca to the next level." "I thought we were playing horse,not horse's ass." "That's O." "What are you talking about,man?" "Becca's a great girl." "You don't meet a woman like that and let her get away." "If I had a girlfriend like that,I'd get a restraining order." "Good one,potsie." "That's R." "Only if I miss from here,big boy." "Now that's R." "Anyway,she's up for this big job." "Only problem is it's in seattle." "Well,that's good." "A nice dose of geography will make you come to your senses." "Absence can make the heart grow wiser." "I don't want to take that chance." "*********" "Because I can." "But this whole thing -- becca going to the next level " "I got one thing to say to you -- jenny." "What about jenny?" "Let me just remind you that you just got out of a major relationship." "The only rebounding you should be doing is on this court." "Jenny's got nothing to do with this,and my relationship with becca is not a rebound." "Okay,in that case,I got two things left to say to you -- okay,don't screw it up." "If you really love becca,take it slow." "And what's the second thing?" "You heard anything about this guy named cellphone man?" "That's horse." "You can't take her to a nursing home." "She'll be forgotten in a corner." "She needs the level of care only a hospital can give." "The parents have agreed." "They've signed the paperwork." "Make sure you get all of this in your article." "All of it." "Tell your readers the system abandons families just when they need it the most." " Turn that thing off." " No." "Don't fight." "I-I want to sleep." "No,you don'T." "Your mommy and daddy need to see you." "I need to see you." "Don't sleep.Wake up." "Let me hear your voice." "My -- my friend." "Yes." "M-mommy?" "We need to convince annabella to become fully awake and stay that way." "The next 24 hours are crucial." "You think it's possible she could slip back into a comatose state?" "This could all be temporary." "It's not uncommon for a patient to have a cycle of alertness followed by a cycle of withdrawal, which could be disastrous." "It just seems so cruel -- to have her wake up and then lose her again." "But it happens." "We're not even to the open road yet." "Oh,my god,now you're gonna serenade me,too?" "I live to serve." "Oh,and I thought chivalry was dead." "Not with rick purdy." "Viv?" "What's the matter?" "Nauseous." "Hang on.Hang on." "Uh..." "All right." "Okay." "Let me pull over." "You okay?" "Okay,I'm gonna take care of you,all right?" " Hey." " Hey." "I checked movie times." "You know what?" "Forget about the movie." "I got a better idea." "What do you want to do?" "Let's work out." "I thought you just played basketball." "I was thinking about a different kind of working out." " Condoms." " Yeah,right." " They're in the top drawer." " I know." "Don't even think about moving." "Thinking maybe I'd take a shower." "Oh,I like the way you smell." "20 seconds." "I promise." " Almost clean!" " Okay!" " One more thing to wash!" " Okay!" " Toweling off!" " Okay!" " Here I come!" " Okay!" "See?" "17 seconds flat." "I found them." "Three?" "Baby,I just played ball." "Okay,come on." "Ohh..." "I am so sorry." "Oh,don't be." "I was planning to get my interior detailed anyway." "Seriously." "What am I gonna do?" "Dr.Rain wanted me to start on those meds right away and it's gonna kill me to pay these prices." "I'll pay for them." "You don't need to worry about money now,viv." "You need to focus on getting better." "It's not only that." "What,then?" "Come on,you can be straight with me." "It's not just the cost of the drugs." "There was one drug that I was gonna go get that's not fda approved." "But it's been showing great results in clinical trials,but it's only sold -- in the farmacia?" "Give me all your prescriptions -- both illegal and legal." "Why?" "I think I might know somebody who can help." "You're not gonna call your college drug dealer,are you?" "No,and for the record,I was my college drug dealer." "See you later." "Marry me." "What?" " Marry me." " Say it again." " Will you marry me?" " Yes!" "Say it again." "Yes!" "Yes." "Yes,ian denison,I will marry you." "Okay,but only on one condition." "Anything." "I don't think I can take the rain in seattle." "Neither can I." " We'll stay in L.A." " Okay." "But only if it's what you really want." "Marrying you is what I want." "I'm sorry I don't have a ring for you yet." "No problem." "Actually,honey... that is a problem." "That's jenny's ring." " Mom?" " Huh?" "Oh,I couldn't find anything." "Your kitchen is so disjointed and illogical." "So I decided to fêng shui the place." "Mom,I don't think now's the time to be fêng shui-ing anything except maybe the direction of your own life." "Since when did the daughter become the mother?" "Since dad decided to f?" "shui his life and hit the road." "Your father didn't mean to hurt you,sweetie." "He loves you so much." "This is about him and me." "And I don't want to make you the mother." "I want to be the mother... of you." "Okay." "So who's brian fowler?" "Excuse me?" "Brian fowler." " His amex receipt's next to your computer." " Oh,god." "It's a long story." "Hmm,well,I've got time." "Oh,no,no,not that corner." "That corner's bad for money." "I'll be back when you're finished shui-ing." "Eduardo." "Hey,it's rick purdy calling from L.A seÑor purdy." "I must say,this is a surprise." "We haven't spoken since you unceremoniously threw me out of your office." "Eduardo,I genuinely,uh,want to say I'm sorry about that." "I understand." "You feel threatened." "I did enjoy your where are they now?" "Issue." "I had been finding it hard to sleep at night wondering,whatever happened to punky brewster?" "Well,I'm glad you enjoyed that." "So,what secrets of my success can I share with you?" "Well,uh,eduardo,actually," "I found a story that we could both work on together." "Pitch it to me." "It has to do with prescription drugs and their availability,their, uh,price,both north and south of the border, and a friend of ours that we have in common." "Who could that possibly be?" "Vivy." "What's with vivy?" "What's wrong?" "She's sick." "She has -- she's got cancer." "And we -- she could really use your he." "What do you need?" "Dear jenny,the last thing I want to do is hurt anybody,especially you." "This has been a long time coming between your mother and I." "I just need a little space to find my bearings." "I adore you." "See you when I get back." "Love,dad." "Bagel man!" "That is,if you're up for it." "Got any plain ones?" "Uh,they're all plain." "So,to what do I owe this pleasure?" "Well,yours truly just pulled off a minor miracle, and I had to see your face when I told you." "Well,here's my face." "Tell me." "I got all your meds." "What?" " I got all - - no,no,no." "I heard you." "How?" "By swallowing every ounce of pride I have." "That's a lot of ounces." "And by calling,uh,my latino nemesis " " A.K.A." "Your special friend -- eduardo." "Wait -- wait a minute." "You called eduardo?" " S?" " Oh,god." "How could you?" "How couldn't I,vivy?" "You needed that medication." "Why did you tell him the drugs were for me?" "I needed his help." "It wasn't your place!" "You -- you had no right deciding to tell him about my illness!" "So,what,I'm the bad guy now?" "I kicked this man out of my house so that he wouldn't see my hair falling out in clumps just so that" "I could remember the day that someone actually felt something for me without pity!" "I-I-I don't know what to say." "Just don't -- don't say anything." "Okay." "I should probably go." "Annabella's gone." "She regained full consciousness late last night." "She's been moved to a pediatric rehab center for a few weeks,and then she's going to go home." "A-are you okay?" "I get very attached to my patients." "But,I mean,it must be just immensely gratifying." "It is." "But for a while after,it's terribly lonely." "I miss my relationship with them." "I miss them." "I got a postcard from him." "He finally left my mother and hit the road." "So,that's why he gave me the mustang." "I think he's redefining his life,and part of that is giving you the car." "I know how happy it made him." "So how are you holding up?" "I-I'm more upset than I thought I would be." "I mean,you think,I'm an adult,right?" "They're going through some new phase of their relationship." "No biggie." "But your parents just never stop being your parents." "And it hurts like hell that they're finally going through with this." "Redefining a relationship with someone you love is never easy." "That's actually why I wanted to see you." "Okay." "Um What is it?" "There's something that I wanted you to hear from me." "Becca and I -- we're engaged." "I..." "I'm sorry,I didn't -- I didn't see that,uh,c-coming." "Yeah,I know." "It's a lot to digest." "I knew that you guys were,um,you know,in love,and it was obvious." "And I guess I just didn't think it would happen so -- yeah,I know,it seems fast." "And I know it's a lot to hand you, especially on the heels of everything that's happening with your parents, and I'm sorry about that." "And I know everyone's gonna say that it's a total rebound romance." "You know what,ian?" "If this is what you want,who cares what anybody else thinks?" "It's between you and becca." "Thanks for that." "So,what about you?" "What about me?" "Well,I hear you're seeing,uh,cellphone man." "No,I am not seeing cell-- who told you that?" "Rick." "Well -- well,I'm not." "Well,why not?" "I have a very special delivery." "Why didn't you tell me?" "Because it was none of your business." "Did you think I would reject you?" "Did you think I am so shallow?" "I didn't know what to think." "I'm new at this." "You're beautiful." "I'm sick." "No,you're not." "Not to me." "Uh,excuse me." "Oh,I am sorry to -- to interrupt.I -- weren't you in the bank the other night having dinner?" "I-I was." "I noticed you." "I know that sounds incredibly uncool to admit." "No,uncool... works for me." "You seem really familiar to me." "Yeah,you -- you seem familiar,too." "I don't know how to... say this, but I really have to ask you... a question." " Are -- are you - - what?" " Who." " Who." "Are you,um... him?" " I overheard you saying something at the - - that I lost my cellphone." "Yeah." "That's amazing,because that's exactly the moment that I noticed you out of the corner of my eye." " You're the girl..." " on the phone." "Hey." "Viv?" " Hey,you." " Hey." "So,uh,so,rick told me everything." "I'm sorry you didn't make it to mexico." "I'm not." "Mexico came to me." " Special delivery." " What?" "What are you talking about?" "Eduardo showed up at my door all the way from mexico city." "And at first I hated for him to know." "I hated for him to see me this way,but... it was wonderful." "He made me feel whole again -- wh even if it's just for a little while." "He's a good man." "I'll say he is." "So,is he sticking around?" "Well,you know,he lives in mexico city." "His life is there." "His work is there." "So it's better this way for now." "It is what it is." "What about you?" "Oh,uh..." "I did it." "What?" "I met brian fowler,and it's him." "He's cellphone man." "Cellphone man finally has a name!" "I didn't get that much." "He was on his way to a meeting,but we're having dinner." "Tonight." "I hope it's exactly what you want it to be." "Oh,wouldn't that be nice?" "But I did talk to becca,and I know ian told you about their engagement." "How are you?" "It is what it is." "Oh,well put." "Hey,how's our boy rick holding up with the whole eduardo thing?" "Oh,rick." "Okay,whatever you're selling,I'm not buying." "I just thought I'd stop by and tell you about the most wonderful dream I had last night." "And why should I care?" "Because you were in it." "I was a damsel in distress,and you -- you were my knight in shining armor,come to save the day." "You were bold and noble and strong, and I was in such distress that I couldn't see the enchanted forest for the trees." "But that didn't stop the damsel from yelling at the handsome knight,did it?" "No." "No,it didn'T." "I don't recall ever saying anything about being handsome." "Everybody knows that shining armor is a metaphor for handsome." "Okay,yes." "You're right." "I'm sorry." "Me too." "I remember the first day I met you." "It was at registration,and there was this book on macro-economics." "Do you remember this?" "I bought the last one,but you didn't get mad." "You offered to rent mine... ..." "On sundays in the afternoon." "Oh,my god." "And I laughed so hard." "And I thought,not only is this woman a creative negotiator, but she is hilarious." "And that's the first thing that you brought into my life -- laughter." "You should hear how I got my biology book." "Please." "So,this has been..." "a long time in coming." "Amen." " So..." " so." "we're finally here face-to-face,and..." "I don't know what to say." "You don't have to say anything." "Side Order Of Life Season01 Episode10"
