"You got a problem you want to tell me about?" "Yeah." "A Bobby Flay wannabe husband who's injecting chipotle marinade into sixteen pounds of Boston butt." "Ah." "It's tailgating season, huh?" "Mike is a man possessed." "And you know who else is up in his Weber grill?" "My dad and brothers." "They put "Moist Meat" on their aprons this year." "Jackasses." "My parents are having a prep party tonight." "Come." "We can light them all on fire." "Announcement, everyone." "Some sturgeon from Minsk." "And some honey." "Also from Minsk." "I would like to thank those of you who cared for my patients while I was away." "It's been a difficult time." "Obviously." "But burying my wife in her homeland was..." "Um..." "Thank you for your wishes and kind words." "They were meaningful." "Dr. Harris, if there's anything you need..." "Yes, thank you." "Thank you, Chloe." "Yes, uh..." "Please, everyone enjoy the treats." "For you." "What the hell?" "An invoice for his windshield?" "Three grand?" "Awesome." "Uh-uh." "Veronica, I need to talk to you." "Can it wait?" "No." "I haven't been able to sleep all week." "Try warm milk with a bourbon back." "You'll be surprised how sleep just comes." "I told your brother Ryan about your affair with Chris." "It just..." "It happened during the ride-along." "We were just chatting, and it just slipped out." "And I've been beating myself up nonstop." "But, you see, none of this would have happened if you had just told me directly." "And then I wouldn't have thrown myself at Chris, which made my top five most humiliating moments ever." "So, thank you." "Thank you for that." "Who told you?" "Really?" "You told Chloe?" "Told Chloe what?" "About us." "What are you doing to me, Chris?" "I went out with a friend." "I got drunk." "I'm allowed to talk about my life." "Well, she told my brother." "This is supposed to be a secret." "Look." "It's over." "You have to let me go." "And maybe on some level" "I have to let you go." "Maybe I'm still participating in this thing that we have." "Had." "Right here." "Right now." "Let's just..." "It's time." "Let's just let each other go." "Are you, like, magic?" "Are you a magic fairy?" "No, I am not magic." "I'm trying right now..." "No." "It doesn't work that way, Veronica." "You don't get to decide." "I'm with Mike." "I'm with my husband." "Things are good." "We're trying to have a baby." "And I want you to be happy." "Then be with me." "No." "Hey, Chris, I need..." "Whoa." "Oh." "Sorry." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Did you hear anything that I just said?" "What did you do that for?" "I don't know." "Dan Harris' wife died." "Life is short." "And I'm running out of moves, obviously." "Hey, there, you." "Dan." "How are you?" "I'm fine." "If this is about the invoice..." "No, it's not." "Listen." "I was wondering if I could float with you up here in Oncology for a little while." "I need a change of scenery." "And personnel." "No." "Come on." "I already cleared it with the nurse manager, and my certification is up to date." "Oncology is rough, you know." "Bring me on board." "I will not only pay for your windshield in full, but my cousin, Patty, runs the best auto detail in the Tri-State." "How does a complimentary polymer paint sealant sound?" "Throw in leather conditioning, tire dressing, and carpet shampoo." "Done." "Nice to know we still hate each other, Dan." "It is comforting to know that some things never change." "Bone marrow transplant patient's name is Lucy Morton." "She's been battling acute leukemia for the last three years and we're a week into her conditioning regime." "Brutal." "Very." "The treatment could kill her." "Hundred-day mortality rate is 30%." "What are the launch codes?" "Can't come in without them." "Cadets, step away from the airlock." "Boys, you remember Dr. Harris, the leader of Mommy's space mission." "And this is..." "Veronica." "First Engineer Veronica." "Is it time?" "Whenever you're ready." "Okay, guys." "We are T minus 30 for launch." "You are going to monitor me from mission control at Grandma's." "She's waiting outside." "Remember to flush and use coasters." "Uh-uh-uh-uh." "Kisses." "Only the air kind." "We're germy." "We'll do real ones when I get home." "Promise." "So my mama isn't lonely." "Take good care of her, okay?" "She's pretty sick." "I will." "I promise." "How are you feeling?" "Like each and every fiber of my being died." "Twice." "Well, that's good." "Means the chemo is working." "Veronica, before we start her final round, make sure she gets 12 milligrams dexamethasone and her fluids at 100 cc's." "Today is going to be the toughest day yet." "But you should be okay as long as we keep you hydrated." "Okay." "Are you up for it?" "Hit me." "Okay." "Hello." "How's the new hip?" "Is there any pain?" "The only agony I have is staring right back at me." "I would sell him for a dab of rouge." "Well, how about a touch-up?" "Oh, sweetheart, I would love one." "Could you get me my makeup kit?" "It's over there in the cupboard." "Yeah." "Don't break your back lugging that trunk full of war paint." "All right." "Well, while you're doing your beautification," "I want to try a few ankle flexes." "Okay." "Point your toe towards my hand." "Good." "And back." "That's good." "Mobility looks good." "I'll take her out for a walk later." "Hey." "Forget the walking." "When's the schtupping?" "Joey, please." "The doctor and my sweet nurse here don't need the mental image of you putting the cheese in my Danish." "Wasn't quite that vivid until you stepped it out there, Estelle." "But the answer to your question is four to six weeks." "Are you kidding me?" "Our 65th is tomorrow, so he's pissed off that we're spending it here." "Yeah, we have an anniversary ritual." "Trout almandine at the club, a few foxtrots, then back home and..." "Wow, wow!" "Yep." "Got it." "That's the secret of wedded bliss." "Never let them see you without makeup." "That's the secret to wedded bliss." "You got someone special, Doc?" "Working on it." "Time to blot." "Time to blot." "Are you kidding?" "I've got a blotter." "Here." "Come here, Joey." "That a boy." "Mmm-hmm." "Lean over." "That's my fella." "Mmm." "Yeah." "What are you smiling about?" "My ex-boyfriend Carl just moved to Manhattan and he texted me out of the blue" "and he wants to get together tonight." "Oh, yeah?" "Yes." "It's perfect timing, too." "Because my love life is pretty much a disaster." "You planning on getting a little action?" "Well, I hope so." "I just want to be with someone who laughs at my jokes and desperately wants to take my clothes off." "Is that wrong?" "No." "That's what ex-boyfriends are for." "Thank you." "Oh, I'll bring him tonight to Veronica's." "Do." "I'd like to see this guy." "Okay." "Bye." "Someone reported a lunch bag missing?" "Ah." "Answers to the name of "Empty Carbs"?" "I don't need your lunch judgment, thank you very much." "Oh, Veronica's family is having a party tonight." "Do you want to go together and then end up at my place?" "I do, but I can't." "Some work stuff has come up." "Some work stuff?" "What kind of work stuff?" "Can't really say." "Secret work stuff." "All right." "Well, I'll see you when I see you." "Whoa." "Sorry." "No kissing in the cruiser." "Are you for real?" "I'm a serious person." "This is a serious job." "I'm representing the department." "I can't just make out in the vehicle with my girlfriend." "It's just not done." "No PDA in the cop car." "That said, I'll miss you." "Yeah, you sure will." "I mean, who knows?" "By the time you're done with your work stuff," "I may be leaving my lunch in some other guy's cruiser." "One where kissing's not prohibited." "Are we ever going to talk about this morning?" "I am freaking out." "What are you doing kissing on Chris Sands in the scrub room?" "It wasn't me." "It was him." "Oh, it's all him." "He's doing a one-man show?" "I was in there to try and explain to him that it is over." "I don't think you were clear enough." "You're trying to get pregnant with Mike." "Don't." "Okay?" "I feel bad." "I feel terrible every day." "All of the time." "Do you want to be with Mike?" "Yes." "I thought we were over, but I fell back in love with him." "Things are going really well." "Unless you count the huge thing that I'm hiding." "I think you've got to tell Mike." "I think that is the only way that this nonsense is going to stop." "No." "You told me not to tell him." "Well, I was wrong." "Holding onto this secret has made you a mess." "It's clouded your judgment." "I mean, come on." "Are you really going to hide up in Cancer Land forever?" "You got no business trying to start a family with this guy until this thing with Chris is over." "And the only way to make it over is to tell Mike." "No..." "You come clean, make a fresh start, get everything out in the open." "And you stop kissing on guys in the scrub room." "It wasn't me." "Oh, my God." "He's coming." "What?" "Oh, my God." "What is he doing here?" "I don't know, slick." "Pull yourself together." "Hey." "Angel said you guys were in here." "Hey, hon." "Ooh." "I need my syringes." "Okay." "Hey, Son." "Hey, Mike." "Great." "Oh." "And remember this morning when I said," ""Sweetheart, this is your proof of insurance card." ""Put it in your wallet right now so if you get pulled over," ""you won't get arrested"?" "Right." "Well, you left it on the counter next to your cereal bowl, ding-dong." "I'm putting it in the same slot as your license." "That way, they won't get separated." "Thank you." "Okay, now, you can feel free to rear-end somebody on the way home." "See you tonight, Sonia." "Bye." "Look at the way that guy treats you." "You're a douche." "You're right." "I have to tell him." "Special delivery from mission control." "Max's is an alien." "And Henry painted Joe Biden and Miley Cyrus having a fashion show on Saturn." "My youngest." "He's either destined for politics or a pride parade." "Ah..." "Let him have both." "Okay." "It's all right." "It's okay." "Okay." "The chemo is burning you pretty bad." "I'm surprised you can even talk with those ulcers." "I'll have Dr. Harris up your Fentanyl." "No, it's fine." "Hey." "Don't be brave on my account." "I am no good to you if you're not honest." "I guess I'm not used to dropping the poker face." "For the boys, you know?" "They have no clue I'm sick." "I've been telling them different stories since I was diagnosed." "Swallowing pills is how I smuggle CIA secrets." "And the shaved head?" "It's for a spy mission." "They got so into that one, they wanted to buzz their heads, too." "I don't know, Lucy." "Max is seven." "I think he might be onto you." "Maybe what he doesn't know is scarier than..." "What?" "That there's a good chance that I might not make it out of here alive?" "They handled the truth of a father skipping out on them." "Why hit them with this, too?" "Who does it help?" "You, maybe?" "Yeah, well..." "When the truth sets you free, it usually beats the crap out of somebody else." "Hey!" "Shoo!" "Hey." "No girls allowed." "No girls allowed." "Shoo." "Shoo." "Even princesses." "Go on." "Shoo." "Mom." "Dad and Uncle Mike won't let us in the kitchen." "Oh, Laura, for crying out loud, quit whining." "You're giving Mommy a migraine." "Hey, Timmy." "Are you going to spend any time with your kids tonight?" "I've got to get more Scotch." "Oh, let him out of his cage once in a while, huh?" "What are you talking about?" "He barely knows their names." "Girls, be a help and get Grandma another refill from her special drink box in the basement fridge." "Huh?" "And then, you can go keep playing dress-up in my room." "Ah!" "Sonia, sweetie." "Come here." "Give me a kiss." "Like a second daughter to me, this one." "Ladies, ladies, ladies?" "Oh." "Deviled eggs?" "Ooh." "Heather, honey, want me to get my calorie counter wheel?" "What?" "Just for reference." "Hey, stop." "Don't eat that." "Hey, Jim!" "Hey, you forgot the paprika." "Well, excuse me, Julia Child." "Here you go." "How many has he had?" "I don't know." "It's not my night to count." "Be back in a sec." "When are you going to have the talk?" "What?" "Oh." "Yeah." "That." "I'm not doing that anymore." "This was decided." "Well, I changed my mind." "You're insane." "There was clarity at work today and now you're insane." "The truth may set you free but it usually beats the crap out of somebody else." "Where did that come from?" "My cancer patient." "Telling Mike is only going to hurt him." "Not telling him is the right thing to do." "Well, that is so convenient that the right thing to do just happens to be the easiest." "I know." "Good, huh?" "Think about how many people know." "Then, think about how much those people drink." "Ryan." "What?" "I know that Chloe told you something." "Something about me that is huge." "Oh, your butt?" "Yeah." "Good one." "I wouldn't be commenting on the size of people's butts, if I were you." "And you had better keep your trap shut about the other thing." "Yes." "I will." "God." "What do you think, I'm an idiot?" "Tim knows." "I told Tim." "Oh, my God." "Hey, party people." "This is my friend, Carl." "Hello." "Oh." "In case you're counting, Chloe knows, too." "Secret meeting in my room in 10 minutes." "So, we all know why we're here." "I don't know why I'm here." "Carl." "In this room is everybody who knows about my little..." "Desert liaison." "Oh." "Oh, well, actually..." "Heather!" "Oh." "Get up here!" "Yeah." "I told Heather." "Mmm-hmm." "Your mother just called me fat." "What the hell is going on up here?" "Are you guys smoking weed?" "Laura." "Katy." "Out." "Now." "Okay, is this everybody?" "Seriously?" "I am not proud of what I did." "And I am truly sorry to drag you all into this." "But Mike can't know about it." "It would kill him." "And he would leave me." "And then, that would kill me." "So, please." "Promise me you will keep this to yourselves." "Can you do that for me?" "Hey, Ronnie, look, it was a rough time." "Mike was no saint." "We get it." "Yeah, everybody makes mistakes now and then." "Nobody's perfect." "What the hell does that mean, Tim?" "Babe, it means that she was at war and Mike fooled around on her." "Would you just get off my ass?" "Okay." "No sidebars." "But thank you." "Thank you, Timmy." "Just know" "I'm going to spend the rest of our lives together trying to make it up to him." "Don't worry, Veronica." "We're rooting for you guys." "Thank you." "Oh." "Thanks." "Take mine." "Oh, easy!" "You know, you're cramming a salami into a thimble." "Oh, my God." "Please, no more old people sex." "Ah!" "I know." "Earlier, they invited me to join them for a three-way." "Kidding." "This doesn't work, sweetheart." "Someone in this joint has to explain how my wife gets her stockings on with this." "Well, that is a dressing stick." "I will order you a sock aid." "Are you planning on going anywhere?" "Well, uh, tomorrow is our anniversary." "I already told you that." "I didn't cancel our dinner reservations." "So, you think you can live without me?" "Well, until you can do a lap around the floor on your walker," "I'm afraid to say you're stuck here." "Walker?" "Oh, God." "When I first met this one, she was a hoofer at the State Theater in Newark." "Had the highest kicks of any gal in the line." "We met backstage on our first date." "You know, it was the usual." "We had a little necking." "We had a little Napoleon brandy." "Yeah." "Now it's rheumatism and raised toilet seats." "So, what do you think, kid?" "Time to trade her in for a new model?" "If anyone has the right to trade in for a new..." "Estelle?" "What's she doing?" "Oh, my head!" "What's she doing?" "Can you feel this?" "Stroke alert." "Stroke?" "Stroke alert!" "No." "She's playing." "No, no, no stroke." "She's just playing." "That's what she..." "She's a big kidder." "Hey, honey, stop it." "Get her to CT." "Have the tPA ready." "I want Dr. Carlson in Neurology on standby." "Let's go." "Paging Dr. Carlson." "Stat." "Please bring her back okay." "Our practice is on the Upper East Side, so the teeth are real nice." "No overbites." "No underbites." "Yeah." "That's great." "Um..." "So, are you ready to get the check?" "I'm looking forward to getting out of here, if you know what I mean." "I'm ready for some action, Carl." "Chew faster." "Mmm." "I can't." "I can't spend the night." "Of course you can." "It's fine." "No, see," "I'm getting married." "What's..." "Are you..." "Are you okay?" "What's..." "What's going on?" "Is that the international sign for choking?" "Help." "Help." "Do you..." "Is it..." "Is it out?" "Fireman." "Let me through." "Back up." "Back up." "Chloe?" "Hey, Petey." "Hey." "What's up?" "Same old." "I'm just having some beers with the guys." "Did you hit your head?" "No." "No." "I just had a little fried cheese blocking my airway." "I'm all good now." "No thanks to you, Carl." "You have a medical degree." "You should know the Heimlich." "Why would you come all the way across the river just to tell me you're engaged?" "I just thought it would be better to tell you in person." "That's what e-mail's for, you idiot!" "You just had such a hard time when I broke up with you before." "You didn't break up with me." "I broke up with you." "Okay." "Well, if that's how you remember it." "That's how it happened!" "It was so nice seeing you, Carl, but I'd like you to leave now." "How will you get home?" "I'll drive her." "Enjoy your Upper East Side life, Carl." "Do you know what I love about this place?" "I could have died right there, and no one would have let it ruin their evening." "Well, not on Dollar Domestic Longnecks Night." "So, was that guy your boyfriend?" "Carl?" "No." "Did he used to be?" "Yeah." "In college." "And for the record, I broke up with him." "I believe you." "Guy seems like a pud." "He's not too good in a crisis." "Not too good in bed, either." "No, believe me." "I tried." "It's just pathetic." "Totally." "I meant me." "Do you..." "I know it sounds awful, but in the back of my mind, I guess I always thought that Carl would be there for me." "Available or whatever." "Like an argyle safety net." "Huh." "Now, why would you try so hard to hold on to something lousy when you could have something great?" "Right." "And where would I find that?" "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Trying to get to work." "Hey, what's up with the cop convention downstairs?" "Oh, didn't you hear?" "A team of undercover detectives raided a crack house early this morning." "There was a shoot-out." "Four men were killed." "Who were they?" "Officers." "Just tragic." "What?" "What is it?" "Nothing." "Hey, it's me." "I know you're working, but when you get a chance, give me a call." "I've been calling the station all morning." "No one will tell me a thing." "I talked to my brother." "He's Newark PD." "The detectives were Jersey City." "Their names are being withheld pending notification of next-of-kin." "You expect me to believe that's all Tim knows?" "He's a sergeant." "One of the fallen officers was late 20's, 5'10", medium build, brown eyes, brown hair." "So, basically, Nick." "You don't know that." "Do not jump to conclusions." "Logically, I hear you." "But logic is out the window right now." "My stomach is up in the back of my throat." "I can't see straight." "This isn't how I am, Veronica." "What the hell is wrong with me?" "You're in love with a cop." "Don't say I'm in love with a cop." "If I was in love with a cop, I would know who to call." "I don't have his mother's number." "His best friend is Brian or Scott." "Either way, I never stopped to ask the guy's last name." "So, don't say I'm in love with a cop." "Do you know how many officers in this city fit that description?" "My brother, for one." "I have watched my mother and sister-in-law go on this roller coaster ride more times than I can count." "And there is only one way to get through it." "There are people here who need you." "For now, you put everything into them." "Okay." "Let's go." "Transplant day." "We got a lot to do." "Lucy." "Lucy?" "It's never been this bad." "I know." "But we're almost done." "The new marrow is here." "Come on." "You pulled your IV out." "Code H. Room 623." "We have to get you off the floor." "No!" "Leave me alone!" "I'm sorry." "No!" "Stop!" "I know." "No!" "I know." "Guys, she yanked her IV out." "There's chemo all over the floor." "Here." "I'll take her." "We need re-access the Mediport." "I've got her!" "I've got her." "Get away from me!" "It's okay." "It's okay." "It's okay." "Stop it!" "I know." "Lucy." "Lucy, stay here." "Stay with me." "Stop." "I have to stop." "Think about your boys." "They're waiting for you at mission control." "Tell them the spaceship crashed." "Just tell them Mommy tried." "Lucy, it's going to be okay." "Let me die." "Please." "Please, just let me die." "I have bought two." "Habit, I guess." "Think he'd mind if we, uh, had a nosh?" "How you doing?" "I haven't slept since Dr. Sands came by with an update." "He won't know if she suffered any long-term effects until she wakes up." "Well, the one thing you have on your side is response time." "Guess if you're going to have a stroke, have it at the hospital." "Yeah." "You know the last thing I said to my wife before it happened?" "The last thing I said was, "Time to trade her in for a new model. "" "What kind of husband talks like that, huh?" "Estelle knows that's your way of saying, "I love you. "" "I kind of wish I'd said it like that instead." "Yeah, I did the same thing." "Told the guy that I'm seeing if he didn't watch it, that I'd move on." "I didn't mean it." "Well, you can apologize later." "Might not be a later." "All I can do now is sit and wait." "Have some candy, sweetheart." "We can sit here and wait together." "Where have you been?" "I have been paging you and paging you." "Meeting with my wife's estate attorney." "Dr. Oxnard had charge of my patients." "I need you." "Lucy is in bad shape." "She's out of her mind with pain." "We have to slow down." "Give her a day to get her strength back." "Well, you know as well as I do that a day isn't going to help her." "There's no turning back now." "This is the normal course of treatment." "She's given up, Dan." "She's going to die before your course of treatment can save her." "Do something." "Lucy?" "Lucy, look at me." "Please." "I know." "I know." "I hate cancer." "I hate it." "It's an evil thug." "It's the Gestapo." "It's a genocidal murderer in Rwanda waving a machete." "Cancer is terror." "Unrelenting terror that we are at war with." "Then I surrender." "Lucy, listen to me." "I've used every weapon I have." "Now, it's on you." "You have the ball." "And you and you alone have to carry it in." "And I know you're exhausted." "But you can do it, because you are brave." "No, I'm not." "Yes, you are." "You are the very definition of courage." "You are staring down the scariest thing imaginable, and you're saying, "No." ""You can't threaten me." ""You can't destroy me." ""Not anymore." "No. "" "In oncology, we call the day that you get your donor marrow your birthday." "Because you're being reborn." "Disease-free." "A fresh start." "But it's uphill from here." "You'll scream." "You'll cry." "And you will make it." "I will not let you die, Lucy." "Are you ready?" "Yes." "Administer the marrow." "Nice day, huh?" "Possibly the best day ever." "So, have you seen Veronica around?" "She's up in Oncology." "Oh." "Thanks." "Hey, Chris?" "Yeah?" "Can I say something as your friend?" "Also knowing that whenever anybody says that to me, by the time they're done talking," "I pretty much want to throttle them?" "Don't go up there after her." "Oh." "Okay, well, enjoy the rest of your break." "Listen." "You and I moved to town around the same time." "I thought I knew exactly what my life was going to be like here." "And you did, too." "We were both wrong." "Speak for yourself." "Veronica's completely committed to Mike." "I happen to believe that's not true." "Okay." "Well, maybe you happen to believe that's not true because you don't want it to be true." "Maybe you're holding on to something that was great before, but isn't now." "And if that's the case, I'm sorry." "That's rough." "Trust me, I know." "But I'm telling you, letting go, it can feel pretty damn great." "Is that all?" "Do I get to throttle you now?" "Dr. Sands, are you hitting on me?" "You tell me." "You've got me all figured out." "Oh." "Well, clearly you are." "But you shouldn't, because you've missed your chance." "And now, I've moved on." "Oh." "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Her neurostatus has improved." "Look at her hand." "It's moving." "That's good, right?" "Uh, let's see." "Estelle, you're okay." "I just need to ask you a few questions." "Do you know where you are?" "Do you know your last name or what day of the week it is?" "Come on, my girl." "Say something." "Don't look." "No makeup." "I'm hideous." "No, sweetheart." "You're beautiful." "Oh!" "What's going on?" "I have got a patient sweating it out upstairs, fighting for her life with no white blood cells." "And I am afraid to have a conversation with my husband." "I am so tired of being scared, Sonia." "So go be brave." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Are you going to be okay?" "With Nick and all?" "I feel like if I do not do this right now..." "Go." "Good luck." "You call me when he calls you." "Okay?" "Go." "I've got it!" "I've got it!" "Whoo!" "Yeah!" "Let's go, Giants!" "Okay, okay, okay, you ready?" "Let's get him up!" "Here we go!" "Whoa!" "Open wide!" "Chug!" "Chug!" "Chug!" "Chug!" "Chug!" "Chug!" "Chug!" "Chug!" "Oh, get it!" "Get it!" "Wow!" "Chug!" "Chug!" "Chug!" "Chug!" "Chug!" "Chug!" "Chug!" "Through the uprights!" "Flanagan down!" "Oh!" "Flanagan down!" "Mike, where's the wine opener?" "I don't know, Jeannie." "Geez." "How am I going to eat?" "Uncle Mike?" "Can we have liaison for dessert?" "It's desert liaison, dummy." "Like Aunt Veronica said she had." "Dad!" "Laura told Uncle Mike Aunt Veronica's secret." "Uh, what secret, Katy-did?" "I don't know." "Mommy made us leave." "What's she talking about, Tim?" "I don't know, Mike." "All right?" "All right." "They're just kids." "Would you keep an eye on our children, please?" "What happened?" "I'm standing over there..." "Don't touch me, okay?" "Something happened in Iraq, didn't it?" "She's here." "Hey, sweetie." "Is it true?" "Mike..." "Answer me!" "Mike..." "You had an affair in Iraq?" "Listen, sweetie." "Let's just go some..." "No, answer the question, Ronnie!" "Yeah, it's true." "But I was just on my way to tell you." "Oh!" "I was just on my way to tell you." "Oh, geez!" "Mike." "Mike, stop." "Come on." "Let's go." "Don't." "Can we just talk?" "Don't come home." "Mike." "Get out of the way!" "Hello?" "I thought you were dead." "I thought I was, too." "You were there?" "It was bad." "My, uh..." "My buddy, Sam, was standing right next to me." "He took a bullet in the neck."
