" Hey." " Hey." "No, you're back." "Damn it." "Just the welcome I dreamed of." "No, I meant to call you." "I'm so sorry." "You got held up." "It's totally all right." "So, you took a taxi." "How was the, uh, flight and your dad and the wedding?" "Yes, I did take a taxi, it was a little bit turbulent, and it's a long story." "You know what?" "You look so busy." " Here." "Let me." " I am." "You know what?" "It's bananas around here this morning." "Really?" "Let's just catch up a little bit later on." "Sure." "Here." " You got me a present?" " Yeah, I did." "Joel, you've never gotten me a present in your entire life." "What are you talking about?" "I've definitely... you know, you don't deserve it." "I know I don't, but I want it anyway." "Wow." "Too much?" "No, I love them." "Thank you." "Hey, can I buy you a drink later?" "It's the least I can do for leaving you stranded at the airport." "Deal." "Okay." "Why am I getting a page?" "I'm not working today." "I told you." "Bananas." " I'll see you later." " Okay." "Jewelry phase." "I'm gonna have to start apartment hunting." "Mm, slow down, Maggie." "We're not even close to there yet." "Yet." "Okay, listen." "Study group has to start on time and end on time for once today." "Someone's got a hot date." "I saw everything." "So did Charlie, by the way." "Have you, uh, told him about Joel?" "Not yet." "But I will." "Good luck with that." "I'm late for rounds." "Katz is gonna kill me." "Meow." "You do know I'm not supposed to be here today, right?" "Believe me, I would not have paged you if she hadn't made me." "She's very insistent and a little insulting." " Who is she?" " Selena something?" "Selena." "Yes, well, this is her elbow." "Could be dislocated, but it's hard to tell." "She's got a bump on the right occipital." " Here we go." " Dr. Goran." "How are you doing?" "Finally we can get things moving around here." "It's all about who you know, right?" "No, actually, it's not." "I'm surprised you didn't just stitch yourself up." " What happened?" " I fell off my bike." "And got the door prize." "And now the slowest doctor in the free world is keeping me from my patients." "Good news for you, you do not have a dislocated elbow, but you have a nasty bump here on your head." "You're definitely gonna need a C.T." "No, no, no." "I'm fine." " I'm fine." " No, no, no, no, no." "You are not fine." "I need to get to work." "Okay, just sit still, okay?" "We all have to get to work." "Yes, sir." " Who are you?" " I am a doctor." "She works at City Health." "Oh." "A do-gooder." "Yes." "And all my back-ups are busy, so if I don't go, my clinic doesn't open." "You have to stay here and get a C.T." "Let me open up for you." "I'm sorry." "You're gonna open the clinic up for me?" "Yeah, why not?" "I'm not working today." "I don't know." "Ow!" " Come on." "What's the worst that could happen?" " Does that hurt?" "I mean, I guess a guy could pull a knife on me again." "Again?" " Well." " Are you sure?" "It's just that Mondays are total chaos." "I'm the king of chaos." "Plus I run a pretty tight ship here, don't I, Zach?" "Aye, aye, Captain Chaos." "Or I could just go home, go to bed, go to sleep." " It's your call." " Sold." "With gratitude." "Take care of my patients, please." "I will do that." "Are we done here?" "Sit still." "Between rounds and all this extra call," "I'm working full time, I'm studying full time." "I don't know how anybody manages this schedule." "You want a practice question?" "Seriously?" "Well, if you don't have time, don't waste it." "Hit me." "25-year-old midwifery patient laboring at home presents at 39 weeks with a cord prolapse after spontaneous rupture of membranes." " What's your plan?" " Stat section." "Or two doughnuts and call me in the morning." "Ha ha." "Examine to confirm prolapse, notify O.B., anaesthesia, peds, ensure constant decompression of cord until delivery, which will be a stat section under general anaesthesia." "Yeah." "Stat section." "That's what I meant." "Okay, let's calm her down." "Get her some fentanyl and some midazolam." "I'm already on it." "Open fractures, both legs." "Ankle fracture in the left, tibial shaft to the right." "Please don't die." "Please don't die." "This is Milo, Tatum's brother." "I'm sorry." "It's all my fault." " Tell me what happened." " She fell into the pool." "It was just like her bones were gonna fall off of her legs and the pool was full of blood." "It's okay." "Just slow down." "Slow down." "It's all right." "I..." "I just wanted to stop the bleeding." "I'm sorry." " She fell into the pool?" " She jumped off the garage and missed the pool." "How high was the garage?" "I don't know. 15 feet?" "Okay, she landed on her feet?" " On concrete?" " Yeah." "Yeah." "I thought she drowned." "I just... just please don't let her die." "I'm so sorry." "I'm sorry." "It's okay." "She's lucky you were there." "Sounds to me like you saved her life." "Nurse, let's get him some scrubs!" " Okay, good news." " Clear." "No free fluid in the abdomen." "Okay, Milo, here's what we're gonna do." "I'm gonna line up your sister's ankle bones using my hands." "Alex, I need you for counter traction." " You got it." " Okay." "On three." "One, two, three." "Oh!" "Okay, gauze..." "lots of it." "Gauze." "Okay, now I'm gonna do the other leg, then we're gonna get her to surgery and we're gonna fix her up for good, Milo." "Milo, where are your parents?" "Uh, Croatia." "They're flying back tonight." "Is she gonna be okay by then?" "Your sister's in the best possible hands." "Reid and Harris... you got the dream team." " Hey." " Hey." "You coming in on this with me?" "No, I've got an appendectomy." "I think you have Larouche." "Okay." "You're my witness." "I had 10 going in." "Listen, Charlie, I need to talk to you about something." "Sure." "Uh, excuse me." "Dr. Harris?" "Uh, I just want to let you know that, uh, you don't need to worry about me, sir." "You mean I'm not gonna get Larouched?" "I'll talk to you later." "Okay." "Nicking Dr. Reycraft..." "I'll never live that down, huh?" "Hey, you ever hear of something called the Harris reduction technique?" "Are you kidding me?" "I've read like six articles on it." "Wait, is that you?" "Mm-hmm." "Now, you ever hear of Harris hands?" "Uh, no, sir." "See, that's when a resident named Charlie Harris manages to drill through his own hand during surgery." "You did that?" "Oh, yeah." "See, every doctor spends his residency trying not to have a complication named after him." "It doesn't mean you won't have a procedure named after you someday, too." "The Larouche maneuver." "You never know." "I like that." "Yes, sir." " Hey." " Hello." "Where's Selena?" "Uh... just give me a second here." "Okay." "You're welcome." "So..." "Selena?" "Would you like to take a seat?" "I see the bench, and I'll sit if I feel like it." "Suit yourself." "Okay, listen up, everyone." "Um, I'm Dr. Goran." "Unfortunately, uh, Selena won't be coming in today." "Doctor... yes, we know." "Shh." "Unfortunately, she had a little bit of an accident, but she's gonna be fine, nothing serious." "But I'm here and I'll do my best to take care of you today." "The pleasure's all ours, Chief." "Now, who's first?" "Well, it's sort of a first come, first serve thing." "So, ma'am, would you like to..." "You got to be kidding me." "I got a bus to catch." "Can you still see the bench?" "Symphysis-fundal height is appropriate." "FHR is auscultated and regular." " You got that?" " Yep." "So I finally got the room painted." "I hired this guy who did a terrible job." "But I..." "I did get the, um, car-seat/stroller/sleeper combo." "Not that I'll ever be able to figure it out." "What color did you paint the nursery?" "Green." "Your little one will be our guest in the NICU for a few weeks before you can take him home." "He's clicking his heels right now." "Feel." "Two more weeks." ""All things are ready, if our mind be so."" "I'm trying." "Hey, what do you think about, um... milk banks?" "I think whatever's best for you is best for your son." "Yeah, but it's a stranger's breast milk." "I just picture it being in these giant vats, all mixed together." "Dr. Lin." " They're bloodshot." " Get Melanda." "Everything okay?" "Okay." "I don't understand you." "Still don't understand you." "Does anybody here speak Arabic?" "Please?" "Any takers?" "No?" "What are you..." "Okay." "Sorry about the wait." "Okay, so, look, I got a bus today at 2:00." "Selena was gonna write me a script for some methadone to carry." " What do you mean, "to carry"?" " Like, in my hands." "Like, not drink it in the drug store." "My grandfather died, okay?" "So I've got to go to Fredericton for the funeral and I can't get my script filled there, so you got to get me some to go." "You know what I'm saying?" "Okay, well, how about I write you a script" " for tomorrow's dose?" " No." "No." "The funeral's tomorrow." "I won't be here tomorrow." " You with me?" " For anything else, you might just have to come back and see Selena." "I got to be there for five days." "I can't just have nothing." "I got to bury my grandfather." "He raised me." "And I'm very sorry for your loss, but..." "What is your name?" "Teddy." "Teddy." "Teddy, Teddy, Teddy." "What are you doing?" "I'm just running this by Selena." "What?" "You think I'm lying?" "No, I don't think you're lying." "Yeah." "Go ahead." "Call her." "She's gonna be pissed." "Hassling her while she's hurt." "I don't want to do the wrong thing here, do I?" "She'll take my head off h... hello, Selena." "Uh, yeah." "No, no, everything's fine here." "I got a gentleman..." "Teddy?" "Hang up." "And it's lady, not gentleman." "You're just gonna use the extra methadone to sell on the streets, weren't you?" "Yeah." "Good for you." "You got me, Chief." "I also have a dozen or so patients out there." "One of them might be able to use that gauze in your pocket more than you." "So if you wouldn't mind." "Thank you so much." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, it's just a headache." "I get them all the time." "Don't worry about me." "Look, I'm sorry I couldn't be more help." "Yeah, I bet." "Charming." "Intracranial pressures have increased dramatically." "I've adjusted respiratory and ventilation settings." "Blood pressure is normalized." "We'll want I.V. hydration to improve the fetal heart rate." "You're gonna want to get a move on." "Maggie, book the first available O.R." "Y... you can't keep shutting me out of things." "You need to tell me what's going on." "Lara suffered another bleed to her brain." "What?" "This can't be happening again." "How is this happening again?" "!" "We're moving her into the O.R. as soon as possible." " What?" "To operate on her?" " No." "We were gonna wait to deliver at 32 weeks." " What happened to that?" " We can't wait, David." "We're seeing signs of fetal distress." "The baby may not be getting enough oxygen." "So, wait, Lara is g... you guys are... you're gonna deliver the baby..." "Today." "You're gonna meet your son today." "The flame sign." "See, but I..." "I didn't see the posterior malleolus fracture on the X-ray." "No, it's pretty subtle." "But, um, you did notice that the ankle wasn't congruent, which is very thorough." " Mm." " She's a lucky kid." " Yeah." " Kid?" "Me?" "What?" "That's me?" "Left something back there?" "Uh, no." "Yes, that is me." "What..." "See, my plan would have been to flip her prone." "Never would have thought about firing the screw from the front." "If I'm in there, what am I doing here?" "Uh... it's complicated." "I get it." "I get it." "I'm starting to..." "I'm starting to come around to this whole orthopedic bone thing." "Don't tell me." "I'm dead, right?" "I'm dead, and this is... tell me this isn't heaven." "Heaven blows." "Nice work, Larouche." "Thank you, sir." "Hey, I'm not..." "I'm not... a kid." "I'm 13, you know?" "Yep." " Am I dead?" " No." "You're not dead." "You're, um... you're kind of a... sort of..." " Ghost?" " Yes." "Kind of a ghost." "You see ghosts?" "Ish." "It's a long story." "Listen, um..." "Do you have any allergies?" "Did you take anything?" "Any, um... drugs?" "Nope to dope." "Okay." "Are you in any pain?" "No, I don't..." "I don't feel anything." "Wait, so you're the only one who can see me." "That's insane." "Yeah, it definitely feels that way sometimes." "Invisible, but not dead." "So just like high school, basically?" "Basically." "Listen, I need you to focus for just a second." "'Cause, um, we need to find out why you're here like this." "Grady." "He came." "Hello?" "Just one sec." "What c... what can I do?" "Are you cold?" "Here." "Take my hoodie." "Isn't he perfect?" "Hey." "Hey!" "What are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "No." "You keep that covered." "Leave her alone!" "Leave her alone!" "Hey, what's going on here, guys?" "Hey!" "Leave her alone!" "Hey, hey, hey!" "Everybody calm down a second." "What is..." "Teddy." "Hey!" "Teddy, can you hear me?" "Can you hear me, Teddy?" " What's happened?" " You're the doctor." "You tell me." "So, have you ever had a seizure before?" "Well, I'm pretty funky on the dance floor, but no." " This was the first." " And what about the headache?" "Do you still have the headache?" "Okay, I think I should take you to a hospital." "No, no." "I told you." "I've got a bus at 2:00." "Okay, what have you taken today?" "You got something wrong with your memory?" "You wouldn't give me nothing." "Okay, when was the last time you used?" "I mean, did you use last night?" "Man, you don't listen." "We ran out." "When was that, Leo?" "I can't remember." "Not yesterday." "Okay, so this is potentially withdrawal, right?" "If I'm not high, I'm in withdrawal." "That's how it works, Chief." "Okay, I think I have some lorazepam on me." "Oh." "Just a little something to take the edge off, eh?" "Yeah, a little something to take the edge off a 14-hour flight, Teddy." "Now sit up for me, would you?" "Listen, I can give this to you, but you got to stick around so I can keep an eye on you." "Now we're getting somewhere." "All right." "Leo, give me a hand." "Think you can stand?" " Yeah." " All right." "Let's go." "Hemoglobin is okay, blood gas is normal, coagulation, normal." "You should be waking up." "I can't believe he came to see me." "Do you think he looked sad?" "Oh, my God." "I'm gonna barf." "I'm the most epic fail of all time!" "I hate that stupid diving board." "Wait a second." "I thought you jumped off the garage?" "No, it wasn't just me." "Those girls were doing it." "But I hit the deck, and then fell right into the diving board." "Didn't Milo tell you that?" "No, he didn't." "Wow." "That's weird." "At least I didn't land on my face, though, right?" "Who are you calling?" "Uh, someone who can hopefully save your life." "Nice." "Hey." "I was just looking for you when I got your text." "She should be awake now, shouldn't she?" " Yeah, we missed something." " What?" "She landed on her abdomen before she fell in the pool." "The ultrasound was clear and her brother said she landed on her feet." "Yeah, I don't think he's the most reliable witness." "Now, since it's not blood in her abdomen, could it be something else?" "If the pancreas was damaged, it wouldn't show up." "The bruising wasn't there before." "I'll book a C.T. and get her in as soon as possible." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Milo in trouble?" "You're a list-maker." "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans, right?" "Baby's doing great." "He's the only one." "Washing machine..." "I got to fix that." "Cloth diapers... what was I thinking?" "Have you picked a name yet?" "I don't know." "We're thinking maybe Dylan or Ezra, maybe?" "Ezra Zarb?" "I know." "Too many Z's, right?" "But still, Dylan?" "Mm, I was Devon for four weeks before my mom decided I was a Margaret." "You'll have time." "We're gonna keep him in the NICU until you're both ready to go home, so..." "And then that's it." "What do you mean?" "Well, for Lara." "I have to say goodbye." "I mean, I know she's already clinically, but..." "I thought maybe we'd have some time to..." "What?" "I don't know, just after the baby was born..." "I thought maybe we'd get to spend some..." "No, you can say goodbye." "However you want." "You just... you let me know how you want it to go." "Do you have a sec?" "I need your advice." "Just suck it up, say you're sorry." "She's only trying to help." "It's not life or death." "Yeah, it is." "It's life and death." "His baby is gonna be born today, and his wife is about to be taken off life support." "How do you help someone with something like that?" "Oh, you're talking about David Zarb." "Mm-hmm." "Help him stay focused on life." "Thanks." "Uh, who am I supposed to apologize to?" "Uh, check your e-mail." "And, Maggie." "Mm?" "Don't get sucked into the shame." "Okay." " You were right." " Pancreas?" "Grade III injury with a huge hematoma." " So she's been leaking fluid?" " For hours." "We're going in now to patch it up." "Good catch, Dr. Harris." "Nice work, Dr. Reid." "I am literally..." "I am freaking out about these boards." "For the next three months, it's all work and no play for this guy." "Oh, my God." "Speaking of play, do you know what I heard?" " Is this about me?" " No." "Alex and hot, hot Dr. "G."" "Everyone knows about that." "Alex is sleeping with Dr. Goran." "Like, they've been doing it." "Just look at Grady." "He's just so sweet." "Where's my sister?" "I thought you were finished with her legs?" "We were hoping we could see her." "Oh, God, no." "No, no." "You can't let Grady see me like this." "I am so gross." "Your sister's back in the O.R." "Her condition is, uh, more serious than we thought." "Now, you guys want to tell me what really happened?" "What do you mean?" "She jumped off the roof..." "And landed on her stomach." "Well, I..." "I didn't see it." "I was supposed to be watching her, but I..." "I wasn't." "Was she drinking?" "No." "Definitely not." "Well... a little." "What?" "I'm so stupid." "She was following me around, asking for sips." "You gave my little sister alcohol?" "Well, she was driving me nuts." "She wouldn't leave me alone." "You said I was cute." " What did you do?" " I..." "I'm sorry." "I told her to do it." "I saw those other girls up on the roof jumping into the pool, and I told Tatum..." ""Bet you could do a way cooler jump than any of them."" "I just wanted to get rid of her." "I didn't mean for any of this to happen." "I..." "I'm so sorry." "He wanted to get rid of me." "If she dies, it's your fault." "I'll never forgive myself." "Okay, this isn't broken, but it is badly bruised, all right?" "So we'll just keep it taped up like this for a few days." "This should heal up very nicely." "You're done." "No more flipping the bird for you." "You gonna let her talk to me like that?" "So, you feeling better?" "Oh, I'm good now." "You're a right miracle worker, aren't you?" "You got my last miracle." "That's all you're getting." "You'll be in my prayers." "I'm sure I will." "Get out of here." "Hey, I'm Dr. Goran." "Hey, Chief." "What is it?" "What'd you do to my arm?" "What, are you in pain or?" "And my leg." "It's all zooey." "What are you..." "Hey!" "Teddy?" "Careless answer, unprofessional demeanor." "You read my e-mail." "It's so humiliating." "You sent it to Dr. Bell, Dr. Hamza... every single staff surgeon in the hospital." " Why would you do that?" " It's my job." "So "Dr. Lin is in no way prepared to sit her surgical board"?" "Which is true." "It was one question." "You gave a two-word answer and made a joke out of it." "That's not acceptable." " You know me." "I knew the answer." " Well, you didn't give it." "If you answer your exam questions like that, you'll fail." "It's my job to teach you." "Don't take it so personally." "You're teaching a person." " I have feelings." " Yeah, about that." "I'm gonna ask you to keep Mr. Zarb company while I'm operating." "What is that teaching me, exactly?" "To keep your feelings out of the O.R." "So really see if you can grip them." "Okay." "So it's just weakness down one side of your body?" " Yeah." " Okay." "Now try to smile for me, Teddy." "That stuff you gave me..." "it only half worked, Chief." "I'm not complaining." "I loves me my lorazepam." "Hi, Selena." "No, it's not Selena." "I'm calling a neurosurgeon." "The chief of the chiefs." "Shahir." "Yeah, I..." "I need your help." "Can't diagnose from a distance, Joel." "Okay, listen to me very carefully." "I've already called an ambulance, because initially this was just a withdrawal thing." "I got a patient here." "She's already had a seizure." "She has a persistent headache and numbness all down one side of her body." "She needs a C.T." "Is her headache getting worse?" "Well, it's difficult to tell, man." "I can barely understand what she's saying." "I don't like guessing." "Could you please try?" "Worst-case scenario, she has an intracerebral bleed." "Okay, so what can I do about that?" "You can't do anything." "I can fix it if you bring her here in time." "Before the deficits become permanent, right?" "Well, if it's what you're describing, she'll be dead in an hour." "Okay, I'm gonna get her to you asap." "Okay, the ambulance should be arriving pretty soon." "Where's Teddy?" "Leo, where did Teddy go?" "Has she gone to the bus station?" "Hey, listen to me." "I'm not playing games here." "Tell me where she's gone." "That bus left years ago." "The funeral?" "Her grandfather died and she never went, and she's been messed up about it ever since." "Listen to me very carefully." "She's extremely ill, okay?" "If you care for her, you will talk to me." "Now  where could she be?" "Check the train bridge at South Street." "Is that where she lives?" " Yeah." " Thank you." "Teddy." "Hey." "Teddy?" "Teddy, it's Dr. Goran." "Can you hear me?" "I'm gonna get you out of here, okay?" "No." " Can you sit up for me?" " No." " Yes." " No." "It's all right." "I'm gonna get you out of here." "I'm gonna get you to Fredericton, okay?" "Come on." "I'm gonna get you to Fredericton." " 2:00, right?" " Mm." "All right." "Rian, hold the stomach up while I get into the lesser sac." "Yeah." "There's a huge hematoma back there." "Yes, there is." "Okay, get the suction ready." "We're gonna get into some serious hemorrhage." "Retractor." "Look at that pancreas..." "fractured and bleeding." "What about the spleen?" "That'll be re-sectioned, too." "Metz." "That's not all gonna fit in there." "Her guts... there's too much swelling." " You can't close." " I agree." "We leave the incision open, wrap her, finish tomorrow." "We do that and we risk a whole host of complications while she sits with her abdomen open overnight." "It's the safe choice, Dr. Reid." " Airway pressures are going up." " She's young." "Her fascia's healthy." "It's safer to close now than put her through another operation." "I agree with Rian." "I think we should wrap." "Enough!" "Someone needs to make a decision." "Should we get a staff surgeon in here?" "Yes." "Call Dr. Harris." "She's his patient." "I'm literally freezing." "You are literally in surgery." "I wish I had Grady's hoodie." "Wait a second." "What?" "Why was Grady trying to get rid of me?" "Maybe because you wouldn't stop talking." "And where was Milo?" "Why wasn't he watching me?" "Maybe he didn't think you'd do anything stupid." "You know what's stupid?" "Kissing Tag." "Those girls started it earlier and I don't know, maybe Milo..." "Was chasing girls instead of watching his annoying sister?" "Milo?" "No, never." "He doesn't like girls." "Oh." "Oh." "Wait, that's it." "Grady was trying to get rid of me so he could be with Milo." "Oh, he gave him his hoodie." "How could I not have seen it?" "Charlie... just hold that thought." "Staple." "What's going on?" "There's more swelling than we anticipated." "Dr. Harris, I think we should wrap the abdomen and send the patient up to ICU." "She's getting cold." "Which is why we need to finish." "Charlie, I have a gut feeling about this." "We should close right now." "I look like an exploded burrito." "The organs are too swollen." " Let's go, people." " I'm getting dizzy." "Dr. Harris." "Alex, it's your call." "We should close." "Okay." "Close her up." " Wait." "That's it." "You're leaving?" " No, I'm scrubbing in." "Get me the fish." "Fish?" "What, you're gonna put a fish in me?" "Char..." "Charlie?" "Okay, one milligram lorazepam, nothing else that I know of." "Okay, O.R. 3." "I'll take it from here." "She's conscious, but the whole right side of her body is..." "I'll keep you posted." "Okay, well, I'm not going anywhere, Shahir." "Okay, my guts are hanging out all over the place." "Do they even know what they're doing?" "Sometimes there's more than one way to proceed, so they just needed someone to help them choose." "The pretty one's the best, though, right?" "Her name is Dr. Reid, and they are all excellent doctors." "Okay, well, if Dr. Reid had said to do the other thing, you still would have agreed with her, though, right?" "I'm right, aren't I?" "You need to get your priorities straight, young lady." "Okay." "She's holding on." "Time to close." "It's time to push down." "Suture." "Airway pressure is still climbing." "Almost 30." "It's getting hard to ventilate." "Push down right there." "Put that back in!" "Come on, Rian." "Put your back into it." "Yep." "Like you're packing a suitcase." "Push." "40." "You okay?" "Yeah." "You're almost there." "Here we go." "Take the fish out." "Voilà." "Dr. Boyden?" "Pressure's stabilizing." "You did it." "Here you are." "They're looking for you." "We're about to take Lara into the O.R." "I know." "I should be pacing the halls, puffing on a cigar, right?" "Somehow I just don't feel like it." "What's all this?" "The day she found out she was pregnant, she started packing this bag." "Socks." "She thought her feet might get cold in the stirrups." "Smart." "Lara's grandmother knit this blanket." "She brought her mother home from the hospital in it." "Then her mother used it when Lara was born." "And Lara wanted to use it for our baby, too." "For Ezra." "It's amazing that she kept it." "Meant a lot to her." "Family." "Who is this guy?" "That's mine." "His, um, name is Mr. Weezaloops." "Little dude has seen it all." "Has he ever seen a baby being born?" "I thought I wasn't allowed in there." "No one said you can't watch through the door." "I bet he's tougher than he looks." "Come on." "I'm never waking up." "Why should I?" "I mean..." "I'm in love with a gay man." "And I ruined my brother's life." "God, I'm a study in tragedy." "You are so young." "There's gonna be plenty..." "A few quality boys in your future." "It's not puppy love." "I hate that." "It's real." "Well, real love with someone who loves you back... that's gonna happen for you someday." "You promise?" "I'm sure of it." "And it won't hurt like this, right?" "Oh..." "I can't promise you that." "Do you have a pen?" "What?" "I need you to do something for me." "Where's your... your pen and that little pad thing you write on?" "Yeah." "Come on." "I need it." "I have an idea." "So, the heart rate monitor will say if he's in trouble, right?" "Yeah, and Dr. Katz is watching it very carefully." "That's the pediatrician." "And those people?" "The NICU team." "They're gonna put him in the incubator?" "In the humidicrib, yeah, to keep him warm." "But he could be just fine, right?" "I mean, I know he's gonna be small," " but he could..." " Absolutely." "I can't see anything." "What's happening now?" "Dr. Katz is about to make the incision." "Okay, come on, Ezra." "They're gonna hold him up, right, when they take him out?" "You know what?" "You should be in there." "You should not be shut out of this." "Gown them." "Thank you so much." "Oh, uh..." "I've never been so scared in my life." "My pleasure." "She's a tough little lady." "I'll check on her in a bit." "Thanks for having my back in there, Charlie." "Well, it was a good call, and you did great, as usual, Alex." "Oh." "He's coming." "Charlie, do it now." "Hey." "Uh, I heard she's gonna be all right." "What are you still doing here?" "I just came back to get my hoodie." "Sorry." "She's gonna need a lot of recovery time, but she's young." "She's gonna bounce right back." "He read it, Charlie." "We got to..." " And I need to go." " You got to... yeah, we got to go." "I feel the same way about you." "What?" "I got your note." "I love you, too." "You have terrible handwriting, by the way." "Yes!" "It worked!" "Yes!" "I knew it." "Holy moly." "Who is that?" "Oh, no." "No, hey!" "Go to your body!" "Go!" "Welcome, little one." "Mr. Zarb, would you like to do the honors?" "Come on." "Right here." "Congratulations." "Okay." "He's all yours." "Why isn't he crying?" "Right on cue." "The basin." "We'll deliver the placenta now." "Where am I supposed to be at?" "I don't know where I should go." "I think he's calling your name." "Go be with your son." "Okay, but Lara." "Her vitals are all over the place." "I can't stabilize her." "Wait, what's happening?" "What... what's going on?" "There's no time." "You have to say goodbye now." "What?" "No." "I..." "I'm not ready." "This is not how it was supposed to go." "I know." "I know." "Here." "Thank you." "I thought you might want to be together as a family." "What I wanted." "This is all happening earlier than you expected." "I'm sorry." "I came to see her every day." "And the baby was growing." "And all along, even though I told myself not to  I was hoping she'd wake up." "I was waiting for a miracle." "This is your miracle." "Right here." "I was looking for you." "You were playing Tag." "It's dumb, but I knew you were it, and I was hoping..." "I was looking for you, too." "You're it." "You guys are the cutest couple ever." "You were hard on me today." ""All things be ready, if the mind be so."" "Who said that?" "Shakespeare." "Or Yoda." "So, what, you're just toughening me up?" "I like you, but I'm still your boss." "You're a hard ass." "I'm into that." "Obstetrics isn't for babies." "You were great with Mr. Zarb." "I might have been hasty in sending that e-mail." "Thanks." "It was a good day." "Hi." "Want some?" "I know about you and Joel." "What can I tell you?" "That's, um..." "Well, it's a nightmare." "I..." "I wish that I could... explain it, but..." "Don't explain it." "I don't want to know." "That's none of my business." "I've been trying to find a way to tell you." "But..." "We were getting along so well and..." "It was good." "Yeah, it was good." "I guess I just need to accept that that's all it's gonna be from now on." "I..." "I don't understand." "I mean, what we had, it was everything to me." "And the fact that it's just... just gone for you  and that you can just move on with... with him." "It's like I don't even know you anymore, and it..." "And it breaks my heart." "I don't want to break your heart, Charlie." "Well, you can't." "Because you are my heart, Alex." "My whole heart." "You're it for me." "What can I do?" "You can buy me out of the condo." "Okay." "Because the thought of you there with him is just..." "That was our home." " If that's what you want." " It's what I want." "Deal?" "Deal." "You don't have to wait." "Shahir said it could be awhile yet." "No, no, it's okay." "I want to be here." "Thank you for calling." "Freaking Teddy." "Nearly lost her." "Joel, you found her." "Listen, you did way more than most people would  a thousand times more than I expected of you." "Selena, um..." "That was for Teddy." "Every time that you're bored you want something new, you want something better." "That is not fair." "It's happening again." "Go out on a limb." "That's where the fruit is." "Are you married?" "It's complicated." "Yeah, it's complicated." "Why don't you move in with me?" "Come up to my room."
