"Thanks." "Finally writing that novel?" " I'm trying to write a speech." " For?" "My father's receiving a Bernard Taylor Innovation award tonight" " and I'm introducing him." " He really racks those things up," " doesn't he?" " Four times now." " This one's for his stem cell research." " Okay, let me have a look." " "Doctor Barret Goran is my father."" " That's as far as I got." "Okay, well, I hate public speaking and I've written maybe three speeches in my life..." "But it seems a little short." " I have no idea what to write." " Just write something nice about your dad." "Like what?" " Well, he's very charming." " Did I mention he abandoned my mother" " and humiliated my family?" " Yeah, I wouldn't put that in the speech." "That's probably not a good idea, right?" "O... kay." "Speak of prince charming." "Hi, dad." "Yeah." "Got to pick him up, hotel." "Good luck." "Yep!" "Sorry." "I can't lift my arm past there." "Isn't that right, darling?" "Okay." "And you're torn your rotator cuff how many times now?" "Twice." "Tennis is all I have, besides Cameron of course." " And Cameron's your... ?" " He's my grandson." " He lives with me." " Right." " Can you feel that?" " Yep!" "Mm-hmm." "Okay." "Okay, why don't you grab a seat." " This wasn't a tennis injury." " No, no." "I just sort of spaced out and I fell in the living room." "I really wrenched my shoulder awfully." "You know, it's a small miracle" "I didn't hit my head on the coffee table." "Mrs. Pratt, I hate to be the one" " to tell you this but..." " If you're gonna tell me" "I have to give up tennis for good I'll die." "Sorry." "He hates it when I talk about death." "Mrs. Pratt..." "Please, call me Iris." "Iris." "Uh..." "I'm gonna get an X-ray to confirm this but, um, my guess is that three time's a charm and you're gonna need a shoulder replacement." "You see, gran?" "I warned her." "Doctor, if I have this surgery, who's gonna look after Cameron?" "Well, that's not really my department, but um..." "Once you're admitted here he could stay with you." "Thank you very much." "Yeah." "I'm sorry." "I'm gonna come back a little later." "Joe!" "Let me just get some pants on." "This is Marion, by the way." "Your dad is a loyal customer." "Yeah, I'm sure he is." "You look like you could use some..." "Shiatsu." "I make house calls." "Yes, I'm sure you do." "She's the best, Joe." "Patient's 33 weeks pregnant and complaining of severe back pain." "You thinking appendicitis?" " I'd like to rule it out." " What about the baby?" "Fetal heart rate's normal and the cervix hasn't begun to efface." "Okay, so this isn't pre-term labour." "No, which is a relief." "The baby has CDH." "Congenital diaphragmatic hernia?" "I'm impressed." "CDH is rare." " Well, I'm pregnant." "I surf the Internet." " Don't do that." "CDH causes the baby's intestines to push through the herniated diaphragm, preventing the lungs from developing." "Unless they've had a lifesaving balloon placed in their trachea until the lung's develop." "Now I feel so much better." "It must be a little weird being up here among all the pregnant women and their complications." "Mm, I'm a doctor, it's a hospital;" "Just trying to do my job." "Oh God, thank God you're here." "Her pain is getting much worse." "Ruth." "My wife has a flare for the dramatic." "I'm fine." "Ruth, Neshema, this is Doctor Reid." "She's a general surgeon." "Hi there." "Hi." "Mazel tov." "What?" "Oh, right." "Thank you." "First, let me put you at ease about the baby's herniated diaphragm." "I've paged the staff OB to come and answer any questions you might have." "Yes, please." "I have questions." "Of course you do." "This is..." "The baby's mouth, throat, and this is the balloon and her trachea." "Doctor Hodges placed it perfectly." "The baby's fine." "Neshema, can I feel your back, please?" "Sure." "You should not have left Montreal." "Doctor Hodges told us to stay close to his clinic just in case I go into premature labour." " Sensitivity there?" " Yeah." "But it was my Zadie's unveiling and she didn't want me to miss it." "Ruth's family has just been so great to us." "What do you see, Doctor Reid?" "Should I take a look too?" "Ruth, just leave the doctoring to the actual real doctors." "It's difficult to see anything near your appendix Neshema because there's too much gas in the region." "So do Ruth and I try to get on our train back to Montreal, then?" "With the amount of pain you're in I wouldn't recommend it." "I'll send you up for imaging after Doctor Katz arrives to get a better picture." "Doctor Katz?" "Our staff OB." "Right on cue." "Sydney Katz?" "Neshema." "That's your Doctor Katz?" "Over my dead body she comes near me or my baby." "You get her out of here." "Now!" "So you and Neshema know each other." "She hates your guts." "She just doesn't want me treating her, that's all." "Yeah, but..." "It's a patient's right to choose their practitioner." "Well, we'll take it from here." "She's just off the case?" "Doctor Hodges has been treating her baby's CDH, you're a general surgeon and, Doctor Lin, you're a talented OB." "I'm not needed here." "So I take it that was an actual masseuse?" "Yeah, she was, and an extremely effective one." " She rubbed me..." " Honestly," "I don't want to know the details." "Thank you." "Where do you want to go for lunch?" "Well, wherever we went when I was here last time..." "We didn't go anywhere last time." "You canceled on me." "Well, you pick." "Okay?" "I'll have to come back for a nap before the ceremony." " I didn't sleep much last night." " Dad." "I don't want the details of this." "It was jet lag." "Okay." "Well, I'll bring you back so you can have a nap." " Okay." " So how's the speech coming?" "Do up your shirt, dad." "So your grandmother's gone to imaging." "Sorry." "I didn't mean to startle you." " You didn't." "It's okay." " Okay." "I wanted to talk to you privately." " Why?" " Well..." "Your grandmother, she's been straining herself more than usual lately?" "She's always running for the phone." "I don't know how many times I've warned her, I've told her," ""if you run for that stupid phone again you're gonna pay."" " And that's how she... fell?" " I warned her." "She was asking for it." "Sounds like you warn her a lot." "Yeah." "Hi." "You supposed to be on the pediatric ward?" "Okay." "You stick with me." "You can smile." "I'll get you where you need to go." "No?" " Hi!" " Hi." " That's was kinda weird." " Yeah, kinda." "I didn't know I could do that." " Uh, yeah, that's because you're, um..." " Invisible." "Kinda awesome." "Yeah." "Kinda awesome." "Will you still help me get back where I belong?" "Yeah, of course." "What's the last thing you remember?" "I'm not dead?" "Well, that's good." "That's a good start." "So we just need to find your body, then." " Yeah." " Okay." "I mean, it's got to be around here somewhere." "Okay, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do." "See those nurses there?" "When they clear out, I'm gonna jump over that counter and I'm gonna look in their computer and find out what room you're in." "So what's your name?" " Henry." " Henry what?" "I can't remember!" "Why can't I remember?" "I don't know, Henry." "Um... it doesn't matter." "Not too many kids named Henry nowadays." "I know three kids named Henry and they're all in my class too." "Or everyone's named Henry..." "You know, one or the other." "Uh, I'm Charlie, by the way." "Charlie, wait!" "I think I found me!" "Okay, thanks for your help and everything, Charlie." "Uh..." "Yeah, I don't mean to burst your bubble but, um..." "This kid's name is Josh." "I could have sworn that it was me." "Yeah, well, um..." "First of all, he doesn't really look like you, and..." "You probably wouldn't be here with me like..." "A spirit or whatever if, uh, you were awake like that." "Henry!" "Okay, what do we have?" "She's been vomiting and she's running a high fever." "Her appendix burst, didn't it?" "Ruthie, please." "Just go for a walk." "Neshema, we're gonna get you in for surgery right now." "We'll do a minimally invasive appendectomy totally safe for pregnant women." " I love you!" " It's okay." "It's okay." "Okay, let's go." "Alright." "I'm just gonna cinch the loop." "No need to put in a drain?" "No." "Her appendix wasn't perforated." " I'm not worried about her getting an abscess." " Okay." "Just checking in." "We're just finishing up here." " How's the baby?" " No signs of distress." "Baby's fine." "Good to hear she's out of the woods." "What is that about?" "We'll never know." "She is a mystery wrapped in a long dowdy skirt." " Appendix is out." "How's the baby?" " Baby's show." "Let's close." "So how is my 26-year-old stepmother?" "She didn't want to come." "What has happened?" "She's filing for divorce." "Look, it's amicable, there are no hard feelings." "Which is distinctly less hysteria than with your mother." "Hey, dad, let's leave mom out of this." "Congratulations, anyway, that's a quintet of failed marriages." " Hey, what's going on?" " No, I'm just dizzy." "What... are you feeling sick?" " No... no, I'm fine, I'm fine." " Dad, you're obviously not fine." "Give me this." "Where's the Insulin?" "I don't use Insulin any more." "I'm cured." "What do you mean, you're... hey!" "Taxi!" "Over here, ladies." " You got my page?" " Yes." " That's great." " Aaron, it's nice to see you again, I'm sorry you're not feeling well." "Let's start an IV and push some fluids." "Let's get him some insulin, too, he's diabetic." " No, no, no insulin... it's just jet lag..." " You're being ridiculous, stop it." "It's a little more acute than jet lag, okay?" "We're going to do a blood sugar test." "Let's draw some blood and send for a CBC, electrolytes, LFTs, ***s." " Let's get him a catheter too." " Oh come on!" "Look I understand, but it's necessary." "Put in a Foley, please." "I've got to be out of here by 7:00." "The Bernard Taylor awards." "Congratulations." "Alex, you're expecting?" " I am." " You look absolutely beautiful." "I just wish Joe hadn't screwed things up..." "Alright, that's enough." "That Charlie Harris is a lucky man." " Have a word for a second?" " Yes." "I didn't mention the pregnancy to dad for obvious reasons." "Absolutely, I understand." "Okay." " Multiple fractures everywhere." " Looks like elder abuse." " Should probably report it." " Eh, let me talk to the grandmother alone before I freak her out with a case worker." "Yeah, fair enough." "Doctor Ortega to Orthopedics," "Doctor Ortega to Orthopedics." "Hi." "Cameron, um, I need to speak with your grandmother." "Could you give us a few minutes?" " He can stay and listen." " Yeah, how private can shoulder surgery be?" "It won't take long." "Actually, there's a great little coffee shop down on the first floor, if you want." "No, that's stupid." " I'll just go outside the door." " Okay." "Thank you." "So..." "Iris, um..." "I took a look at your X-ray." "Actually, I saw a picture of your entire skeleton." " How macabre." " And, uh, what bothers me is all the hairline fractures I'm seeing." "What's that mean, my bones are breaking?" "I don't think this is news to you, Iris." "Now's the time to talk about it." "I..." "I..." "I just seem to be falling down all the time." "How does your grandson treat you?" " I mean, overall?" " Oh, like gold." " He helps out around the house." " All right." "Does he ever get physical with you?" " When he's angry, or frustrated?" " No... no, never." "Pushes you, shoves you, throws you," " anything like that?" " No." "Never." "You don't know him." "No, you... no one understands..." "Look, do you have a phone I can have, I need phones for my grandma," "I need phones for my grandma, give me a phone, look, I need it for my grandma, do you have a phone..." " Cameron, stop." " Grandma, I got you a phone!" "Good, that's good." "You don't need to use the phone anymore because..." "No, no!" " Leave my boy alone!" " Iris, Iris..." " I know how to..." " It's okay, it's okay!" " Please..." " Gran, gran!" " It's okay." " Gran, gran!" " They won't hurt him." "They won't hurt him." " Gran, gran!" " Page Doctor Dey!" " Gran, gran!" " Cameron!" " They're not going to hurt him." "It's gonna be okay, alright?" "Is it bad news?" "Severe pancreatitis." "I ran an IV contrast." "Look how black his pancreas is." " It's necrotic." " And infected." "If you see all the bubbles there, that's from the bacteria." " So you have to operate?" " Yes." "I'm going to take him into the OR, try to get rid of as much bacteria as possible." "We don't want to risk him going into septic shock." "And it's strange..." "His blood sugar levels are normal." "Isn't he diabetic?" "Yes, he's been taking insulin for years." "You know, he mentioned something, actually, to me, on the way here." "He said that..." "That he'd cured himself." "No one can cure type 1 diabetes." "I mean, are we sure that the lab got it right?" "We've done a finger-stick test every 15 minutes, and his blood glucose levels are normal." "God, I hate him." "He's right there." "He's sleeping, Alex." "And you don't hate him." "You resent him." "This boy's definitely not me." "No, he's someone else." "I thought for sure that I would be in here." "Come on, keep your chin up." "Maybe I'm dead." "Maybe I died and I didn't even know it." "Does that happen?" "I mean... if you were dead, would you really want to know?" "You've got to be pretty brave to handle news like that." "My dog died and I was only 5." "I was really brave." "I cried, but I went to school anyway that day." "Yeah, that's pretty brave." " Why don't you come with me?" " Where are we going?" "You'll see." "Okay, we'll keep you for a few more hours, monitor you and baby, and then you can make your way home." " Doctor?" " What?" " Doctors?" " Okay, uh... alright, Neshema, your water just broke." "What?" "That's not supposed to happen." " You're in labour." " What?" "No, no, no, she can't be in labour, the baby's lungs aren't ready... the balloon, it's still in her trachea." "So we're going to unplug, we're going to go in, pop the balloon, deliver, and ventilate baby." "Breathe, Ruthie, breathe." "Try to stay calm, alright?" "We're just going to check the incision." "Pauline, I need nifedipine for Neshema." "I need to delay these contractions until we've deflated the balloon." " Get Doctor Katz." " No!" " Incision's fine." " Can I speak to you, privately?" "I'll be back in just a second, okay?" "I know Neshema hates her, I don't know why," " but we need Doctor Katz, don't we?" " Yeah." "She's the only OB with experience in this kind of fetoscopy." "Then can you bring her in?" "I'll deal with my wife." "Okay." "So I'll be awake for the whole thing?" "You'll be awake but sedated." "You can watch or you can keep your eyes closed, if that makes you feel more comfortable." "Doctor Lin, you've been filling Neshema in on the procedure?" "What is she doing here?" "Neshema, I had to ask Doctor Katz to take the lead on this, okay?" "No, I want Doctor Hodges to come." "I'll pay for his flight." "We absolutely cannot wait for Doctor Hodges to fly in." " You'll just have to settle with me." " Stop, where's Ruth?" " I want my wife." " She's scrubbing in, Neshema." "I want to talk to my wife." "There has to be another option." "There is no other option." "We have to do this now." " We don't have time." " Your baby's life's at risk." "I'm all you've got." "Okay, this is the last one." "So... if you're not in here, we're going to have to look somewhere else, alright?" "Wait!" "Something's happening." " Something... ?" " Good." "It's like I feel my heart beating." " Well, that's good, right?" " Yeah." " Do you love your parents?" " Yeah." " Do you have lots of friends?" " Two best friends," " and a few really good ones." " Okay." " Well, get ready to see them again." " How?" "That's how." "So you're saying Cameron suffers from mental illness?" " Yeah, he's in a manic phase right now." " Is he on meds?" "According to his medical records, he's on lithium." "Okay." "Well, my patient has multiple fractures." "Well, my patient has no history of violence." "You say tomato, and I say call Social Services." "I'm not sure separating Cameron from his grandmother is wise," " if that's what you're thinking." " No, I'm thinking I need to look after my patient." "That's what I'm thinking, bottom line." "Right." "Well, Cameron needs a stable home..." "And I'm needed in surgery, so," " we'll discuss this afterwards?" " Sure." "They're coming to prep you for surgery in a second." "Well, I'm going to have to finish writing my speech first, and you're going to have to collect the award for me." "No, I don't think so." "Just skip your introduction, and read out my acceptance speech." "That's what they've come to hear anyway." " It would mean everything to me..." " Dad, cut it out!" "Honestly." "Look, I've won this award three times, but having you there..." "Stem cell research." "How's that coming along for you?" "Well," "I've just won another award for it, yes, so it's working out rather well." "I meant you've been injecting yourself with the cells, haven't you, dad?" "It cured my diabetes." " It'll cure others." " And you volunteered for your own trial." " Yeah." " And all in the name of compassion and a" " benevolent desire to help others, I suppose." " Of course." "You know as well as I do that it takes mavericks who are willing to risk everything" " in the name..." " In the name of winning yet another award." " Don't be obtuse." " Your arrogance is just so unbelievably staggering." "Dad, do you understand why there are government restrictions" " on stem cell research?" " Because they're cowards." "Because it's experimental!" " These cells you are injecting yourself with..." " Transplanting." "They are dangerous, and they can mutate!" " They can save lives." " You went too far." "Would you ever let a patient of yours get this sick?" "You sound just like your mother." "Don't you dare mention my mother!" "You don't get to talk about her." "If Alex can't remove all of the infection in your pancreas, all of your other major organs will progressively fail and you will die." "You'd have done the same thing." "You were a risk-taker, too." "Okay, I'm just going to remove the humeral head." "Before we continue, I want to get a closer look." "Kocher?" "Yeah, the inside of the bone is spongy, and the outer shell is thin." "Reamer." "Way too soft." " Osteoporosis?" " I'm thinking not." "Um, let's do a tox screen, test for everything." " Okay." " And let's get Doctor Dey down here." "Isn't this a little outside of his purview?" "Page Doctor Dey." "Okay, there's a blood vessel on the right to watch out for." "Just a little." "Neshema, we've given you something for your contractions, so if you feel the urge to push, don't." " Doctor Lin?" " Yeah?" "I love my wife." "She saved me." "She's my family." "But there's something I haven't told you, Ruth." "It was Sydney Katz who told my mother." "Neshema, it's a very delicate procedure." "We need you to stay still, okay?" "Syd caught me kissing a stupid girl." "Okay, let's talk about this after, okay?" "She's so much more frum than the rest of us." "She ran straight to my mother and told her I was a lesbian." " Do you remember that, Sydney?" " Okay," "I need you to be very still, please." "I'm in the baby's neck." "The trachea." "I'm just about there." "Done." "The balloon's deflated." " Amazing, nice work." " It's okay?" "Is the baby okay?" " Will you check the dilation, Doctor Lin?" " Yeah." "4 centimetres." "She'll be fully dilated before we know it." "Let's prepare to deliver." "No." "I don't want you to be the first one to touch my baby." "Alright." "Doctor Lin, you're up." "Hello, Barrett." " Just the woman I wanted to see." " Oh, I'm flattered." "Will you go to the ceremony tonight and accept the award and read my speech?" "Isn't that something you should ask Joel?" " Oh, I did." " Oh." "When the great hero Odysseus returns from the Trojan war, he's reunited with his son Telemachus, who's grown to be as wise, resourceful and courageous as his father." "I was aiming for a sage but humorous tone." "I can see that's where you were going." "Yeah, it's a great myth about an archetypal father-son dynamic." "Joel was very upset with me." "You're extremely sick." "He's just worried." "No, I think he's officially done with me." " We've got to get you up to the OR now, alright?" " Yeah." "I want you to have this." " What is it?" " It's a cheque." "I saw the way Joel looked at you when you talked about your baby." "I don't want your money." "Gorans don't make good fathers." "Take it from me, he won't do anything for you." "You might as well have it." "So, what are my chances?" " This surgery?" " Yeah." "Very hopeful." "Doctor Harris?" "My suturing's a little rusty, so..." "Want to hand Doctor Dey the patient's chart, please?" "Now, can you list off to me all the medications Mrs. Pratt is currently taking?" " She doesn't seem to be on any medications." " Exactly." "Is there something I'm missing here?" "Check the results of the tox screen we just did." " Lithium." " Causes bones to lose their density, makes them easier to break." "The grandson's been giving her his lithium." "That would explain her clumsiness and her falling." "I'm not saying he's been doing it on purpose, but..." "He shouldn't be living with her." "I'll call Social Services." "Excuse me a moment." "You came." "You came." "Yes, your father asked me to read his speech for him." "And how is he doing?" "Well, I was able to remove as much of the dead tissue as I could." "Yeah, it's not the most glamorous of surgeries." "Thank you for everything." "You'd do the same." "I told him he was potentially going to die and then I walked out of the room, so no, that's not quite the same." "Oh." "I kind of feel like running away and hiding in a ditch someplace." "Is that weird?" "Yeah, I guess we have to take our seats." "My dad gave you an envelope." " Yes, he did." " It was money, wasn't it?" " For the baby." " Yeah, it's the Barrett Goran solution to all problems." " Well, I'm not going to take it." " No, I know that, I'm just disappointed," "I guess." "Okay, speech time." " Come on, you're terrified of public speaking." " I'm well aware of that." "I will do it." "Joel, you're not going to like it." "I'll do it anyway." " Let's go to our table." " Okay." " Can you feel a foot, either of the feet?" " No." "Neshema, I need you to stop pushing, okay?" "Breathe through the contractions." "The baby's breach." "I'm trying to reach her feet." "A baby's heel bone, it's harder than a hand," " so go by feel." " Yeah, I know, it's just really, really hard to tell." "Baby's in distress." " I'm trying, this is insane." " No, this is taking too long." " Neshema, I have to step in." " No!" " Neshema, stop this." " No, no, no, no, no, no!" " Okay, okay, I have a foot." " Okay, good." "Oh, God." "It's a hand, Syd, I need your help." " Neshema..." " No!" "I am sorry for how much you lost, but this baby isn't going to die today, okay?" "Okay, Doctor Lin, move." "They sat Shiva for me." "You know what my father said on the box?" "They consider me dead because of you." "I'm sorry." "I was 17, I didn't know how much..." "I miss my mother..." "More than anything." "When I was scared, my mother used to sing numi numi." "Did your mother ever sing that to you?" "Okay, sing the lullaby with me, Neshema." "Okay." "♪ Numi, numi yaldati ♪" "♪ numi, numi, nim ♪" "Okay, keep going." "♪ Numi, numi yaldati ♪" "♪ numi, numi, nim ♪" "Okay, feel the feet." " I feel the feet." " Okay, now let go." "Alright, I'm going to pull your girl out now." "I want you to push on three." "Ready, Neshema?" " Yes." " Okay." "One..." "Two... three." "Is that her?" "It's a her, it's your girl, she's here." "Sydney." "Thank you." "Hi, Charlie." "Henry!" "Hey, how you doing?" "I thought you went back to your body." "No, I'm in there." "Yeah?" "Let's go take a look." "Um," "Henry?" "That's a girl." "That's a girl." "Three times unlucky, eh, pal?" "But I feel it." "I can feel my heart beating." "There!" "Hey, what kind of surgery you got going on in there?" "Heart transplant." "Lucky girl." "Went well." "What does that mean?" "That..." "That means that you are... an organ donor." "So, I'm dead?" "Donors have to be dead, right?" "So, I'm never going to see my mom and dad again?" "And..." "I'm never going to see my friends anymore?" "Hey." "I'm your friend." "But I'm never going to do anything great in my life, like Derek Jeter." "Buddy, you already did the most amazing thing that anybody could do," "way better than Jeter." "Because I gave her my heart?" "Yeah." "So, obviously..." "Thank you." "Obviously I'm not Barrett Goran." "Unfortunately, he couldn't be here tonight." "He's quite ill." "And these are his words:" ""When the great hero Odysseus returns from the Trojan wars, he is reunited with his son Telemachus, who is... "" "I think I must have been about 7 years old when I asked my father about his work, and my father's response was to take me to the hospital, and" "I just couldn't believe my eyes." "My father was so attentive and generous to each and every patient that he met that night." "He sacrificed... so much, you know?" "He... he risked almost too much sometimes." "Well, he was a great hero of mine for a long time, and..." "I hope that I can honor that example." "So, he's... he's told me to tell you that he's very honored to receive this award..." "And furthermore he would like to dedicate all of the award money that accompanies this prize to the establishment of a new street clinic at Hope Zion Hospital." "And Doctor Selena Quintos, founder of the clinic, can't be here today, but she thanks you as well." "I think this is a testament to how truly generous my father is." "Thank you so much." "Bye-bye." "Iris, there's something we need to discuss." "Is this about my operation?" "No, this is about your grandson." "Where... where is he?" " Where is my Cameron?" " He was admitted to the psychiatric ward." "No." "Yeah." "We believe he was... giving you his lithium." " What?" "!" " Now, is that possible?" "Did he give you medication of any kind?" "Of course not." " Oh, my." " What?" "He just got fixated on nutrition." "I... didn't want to stop him." "He would make me smoothies every couple of mornings." "He must have put them in there." "He was delusional." "He probably thought he was helping you." " I want to see him now." " No," " Iris, you need to focus on your own recovery." " You don't understand." "His mother cannot handle him." "He's got no one." " He's doing so well living with me." " I'm sure he is." "He needs structure, and I give him that." "He has jobs at home, he does laundry." "You can't force him out." "Can you?" "No." "No, we can't do that." "Alright." "Well, then that's that." "I am not abandoning my boy." "You just let me know when he can come home." "What would your family do if you weren't marrying Herschel?" "You don't understand, Maggie." "You're out of your depth." "Our kiss... threw me for a loop." "But I see now that it may have caused you pain, and I'm sorry." "I'm sorry for harassing you about Herschel and..." "I'm orthodox." "I live with a whole host of expectations." "This isn't about just our kiss." " No, I understand that." " No, you don't." "Once I'm married, when my husband wants to have sex with me, he throws his yarmulke on the bed." "That's dark." "I had a huge crush on Neshema when we were teenagers." "You saw her." "So, when I caught her kissing a girl," "I ran and I told Neshema's mother." "Not just because Leviticus condemns homosexuality, but out of..." "Do you know what it means... that her family sat Shiva for her?" "I as much as killed someone, Maggie." "So, don't you dare think this has anything to do with you, okay?" "This is my life, it's my burden, and you will never understand." "Do you get that?" "Neshema's happy." "Do you get that?" "Nice speech." "Yeah, just a little bit shorter than the one dad wrote." "With a slightly more generous twist." "Well, he probably would've donated those funds to stem cell research or something anyway." "I just..." " Ad-libbed a little?" " Yeah." "You know, he tries." "He's just not good at being a parent." " My parents weren't either." " That's the thing." "What?" "I'm frightened that I might not be good at it when..." "I'm sorry, if... the time comes." " Joel..." " I want this." "I want to try." "You know?" "I want an opportunity to be better than my father was at this, okay?" "I want to be this baby's father." "The award, Odysseus." "How did the speech go?" "It went." " Look, you can't stay mad at me forever, Joel." " I'm not mad at you, dad." "How could I be?" "I mean, you just donated all of the award money to the development of a street clinic right here in this very hospital." "Yeah, you're my son alright." "Yes, I am." "I like girls." "There." "I said it." "Now, I asked you all here today because..." "We all share something or someone in common." "Organ donation is pretty confidential, but..." "I can tell you that..." "I met the boy who died last night, and... we couldn't have asked for a better donor." " What was his name?" " I can't tell you that, but I can tell you that he was beautiful... and... that his idol was Derek Jeter." " Come on, Buster Posey." " I have his kidney." "I mean, not Buster Posey's kidney." " And I have his other kidney." " I have his heart." " I wish he didn't have to die." " Yeah, me too." "But I think he'd be really happy, knowing that all of you guys thought of him as a friend." "Yeah, well, who knows how to play Go Fish?" "Okay, I'll deal to start." "Oh, you have to move in just a little bit." " I'm going blind!" " She could die." "We can't wait." "Are you seeing something I'm not?" "CTV next Wednesday..." "I saved her life." "Yes, but how?" "The truth exposed." "The whole hospital is liable if she sues us." "I can't stand up and defend this." " The secret..." " I look crazy." " ... revealed." " Well..." "I see things that... other people don't."
