" Oh, not great." "I, um..." "He's sort of laying low out of shame." "No-one's lived a perfect life." "I told him that." "Anyway, I made an appointment for him to come in." "That hit to the head's given him a headache and made him sort of slur-y." "Hit to the head?" "I thought he only had a sprained wrist." " Did he seem confused?" " Just off somehow." " Where is he now?" " At work, I guess." "Which is crazy, considering his hand." " Show me." "Let's go." " What?" "Let's go!" " Ross!" " He might be round the back." " Ross!" " Ross?" "(ROSS MOANS)" "Just look to me." "Pupils are fixed and dilated." "Eyes are down and out." " Betty." " OK, Ross." "I think you're having an extradural haemorrhage." "Bleeding inside your skull, putting pressure on your brain." "Oh, he's out." "I'm gonna call an ambulance." " HUGH:" "No time for that." " BETTY:" "Oh, hello." "Ambulance, please." "Ah, yep. 16 Runion Street." "Ah, Betty." "Betty Bell." "He's unconscious." "Pray to whoever it is you pray to, Betty." "(DRILL WHIRRS, THEN STOPS)" "This is our best shot." "We need to open up his head or he'll die." "You're gonna sterilise that drill bit with the oxy torch, and then this." " OK." " Find the axial point." "Then hold his head while I do it, OK?" "Betty." "Breathe." "(EXHALES HEAVILY)" "(TORCH HISSES)" "OK." "Ready." "Hold his head very still, OK?" "Gotta drill down to the dura but no further." " Or?" " Or I'll puncture his brain." " (EXHALES)" " You ready?" "(DRILL WHIRRS)" "Perfect." "(ROSS COUGHS)" "I think I just started breathing again." "Alright, I'll tube it." "(PENNY AND BETTY CHUCKLE)" "This is festive." "Yes, well, ever been to a penance party?" " That looks familiar." " (PRESSES BUTTONS)" " Too good not to share." " (PENNY GIGGLES)" "Ross is stable by the way." "I saw him." "Thanks." "Did you hear?" "Betty saved Ross's life." "Not really how Betty's telling it." "I gave you the glory because you seemed to have such a deep need for it." "Yes, well, guess I deserved that one." "Ken tweeted that you're not an organ donor." "Who would want them?" "Do you remember your first transplant?" "Absolutely." "God, I was going nuts waiting for the heart to arrive." "The recipient was a 15-year-old girl - dilated cardiomyopathy." " How did it go?" " Oh, it was terrifying." "But when I saw the new heart beat perfectly inside her chest for the first time, well... my God." "Gary's organs saved eight people." " Eight?" " Wow." "What a champ." "Hugh." "There's two of you." "Well, it's Hugh for the price of one." "I've only got room" " for Whyhope Hugh." " Ah." "And if you ever trash-talk me and this practice again, your nuts will need a ventilator." "Fair enough." "(OIL FRIES)" "Penny's the expert." "Check the technique, people." "What is this culinary delight I have been robbed of?" "This is pretty much my national dish." "This is a misuse of hospital grounds." "It's a peace offering, Ken." "Treating us like country bumpkins?" "Mocking us with our own rituals?" "That's a peace offering?" "Or another gesture of contempt?" "Regardless, I will eat your sandwich but know that there is no peace between us." "Ah!" "So, after this, if you want... ..we could have sex in a bed?" "That's for couples, isn't it?" "."
