" (Renee):" "Have fun." " We won't be back till after five, so" " have lots of sex with your husband." " Marley!" "Hot, steamy, unbridled sex." "(loud laughing)" "Thank you." "You all have fun, Be good for Marley." "(Marley):" "We're gonna be good, Mommy." " No sugar." " Course not." " She said no sugar." " Love you, Mommy." "Take care." "Have fun with her." "Make that magic happen!" " Ready, baby?" " Yes." " What are we gonna do today?" " Go get some sugar." "What?" "!" "Sugar?" "(voice over Marley):" "If you think this is what I want out of life, you know, the whole matrimonial, maternal fairy tale, you're wrong." "It's not for me and that's okay, because this idea that you have to fall in love in order to live happily ever after is just not true." "(Marley):" "Stanley..." "Stanley..."

"Okay, why don't we start, Marley?" " Good morning." " Morning," "I'm sure this town has been pitching the hell out of you, so I won't bother with that." "But I will tell you that you'll never be number one as long as your customer base is 82 percent male." "Yes." "Well, women don't buy condoms." "(Marley laughing) Not yours." "Come on, gentlemen." "As I'm sure you're all painfully aware, it is women, myself included, who dictate when, where, how, with whom and how many times we're going to have sex." "We can't always count on the man to have condoms lying around." "So we actually do go buy them and then we end up in the condom aisle with a choice." "So which brand do we buy?" "Do we buy Trojan, whose very name conjures the essence of penetration with protection?" "Or do we choose the one with the skanky-looking girl, with big tits, skimpy shorts and stripper pumps?" "I'll keep this one," "(champagne popping, ambient sounds)" " Hey!" " Yay!" "Hi, baby." "She had them and their condoms wrapped around her little finger." " Alright!" " To the youngest, the hottest vice president in the history of advertising." "(cheering, toasting)" "You should think about buying a house now." "Yeah, why take the time to stop and smell the roses?" "What you need is a big, fat mortgage like an albatross around your neck." "Okay, in honour of Marley's white-trash taste buds we have..." "Mac and cheese pizza?" "You know what I want for my birthday?" "Your metabolism." "I'll trade you my metabolism for those boobs." "Throw in that necklace and you've got a deal." "Baby, that's a good trade." "Hey, She's gonna have her own boobs soon enough." "Way to keep a secret, Marley." " Are you getting implants?" " No." " I'm pregnant," " You're pregnant?" " Cammie's getting a brother." " Another one." "But we're not ruling out the implant thing." " You're disgusting." " Cheers." "To you, Marley." "To us." " Bye, you guys." " Good luck out there." " Congratulations on the new boy." " May he be happy and healthy." " And may he have a huge penis." " Geez!" "You are just terrible." " Speaking of terrible..." " Speed down."

"Not bad at all." "(Stanley howling)" "Oh!" "(Marley giggling)" "So, does this mean I actually get to spend the night?" "I mean, I love being the first number on the booty call list, but..." "Well, second?" "Sure." "What if I want something more?" "What if I don't?" "Really?" "I thought we made that clear when we met." "That's what people say at first, so no one gets hurt." "Not me." "(Stanley barking, scratching door)" "Oh!" "What?" "Oh, my goodness." "I love you." "I love you." "Real." "That's not real." "Got it?" "Yes." "Real." "Okay?" "Not real." " Fake." " Fake."

"'Congratulations from your best friends forever." "Renee, Thomas and Cammie.'" "Oh, you're so good with words." "Is this the actual gift, or are you setting me up with him?" "The idea is:" "You take him out and you, um, put a real man in it." "(Marley laughing)" "What?" "Like maybe Doug." " Who?" " Ohhh." "Come on." "We all know he wasn't a keeper." " Poor Doug." " No poor Doug." " Ohhh." " Thank you." "Thank you." "Could you tell him that Marley Corbett called?" "Yeah, that'd be great." "Bye, bye." "Okay, I gotta say something." "I think this Vice Presidency is making your tits smaller." "Really?" "Yeah." " Really?" " Hm hum." " Hey." " Hey, Rob." " Think Marley's tits are shrinking?" " Like, right now?" " No, in general." " Uh, yeah." " How are we doing on Coffee Land?" " Great." "Our favourite so far." "'Drink this dark-flavoured spit and it'll make you shit.'" " Tell him the others." " Can't." "He has to be across town at 1, back here for storyboards at 3 and dinner at 6 and after dinner we have drinks with the Home Depot." "That's why I love this woman." "I love you." "Jesus."

"(door closing) (Marley):" "Oh." "You look familiar." " Have we had sex?" " No, um, I'm sorry." "Never mind." "I was just joking." " Marley, I'm Dr Goldstein." " You're Dr" " Goldstein?" " Yes, I'm Jewish, from Mexico." " No." "I mean," "I just expected somebody older, not so-- young." "Take a seat." " So, Marley..." " Hmm." " What seems to be the problem?" " Not so sure." "Hence being here." "Look up." "So you've been experiencing some weight loss, right?" " Umm..." " And you had some blood in your stool?" "Yes, I've been experiencing some of that bleeding you're talking about." "Just lie on your back." "I'm gonna feel around your stomach, okay?" " Just relax." " Okay." "(Marley giggling)" "I'm kind of ticklish, so don't be a wuss," "Don't get all feather-fing..." "(Marley laughing)" "Ow!" "Okay, Marley, we're gonna need to run some tests." "(James Brown music playing)" " Up!" "Time." " Oh, no, no, no." " Pens." " There's still two more seconds left." " What are you doing?" " Down." "Pens down." "Is it weird that I always find the word 'slut'?" "Too bad you only get two points for 'slut'." "Whore gets you three points." "(Marley laughing)" "(timer going off) Time." "It's pink juice time," " Think of it like, like bubble gum urine." " Yummy!" "Bottoms up." "Mmm." "Uh mmm." "(eerie music on TV)" "Isn't this stuff supposed to clean you out?" "Maybe you didn't do it right." "How can she not do it right?" "She drank it." "Maybe she drank it too fast, or, I don't know, too slow." "(Stanley grunting)" "Ooh!" "Aw!" "Yee-ha-ha." "(Peter):" "Let us know when it starts working." "(bathroom door slamming) (Marley):" "Oh, my God!" "(Stanley whining)" " Good morning, Marley," " Oh, really." "Is it?" "I'm about to get a huge camera stuck up my butt." "So I don't know if that qualifies as good." "I just need you to sign this document which states that you understand all the colonoscopy's risks, which include heavy bleeding, uh, infection, perforation, rupture." "On a scale of one to ten, one being 'never' and ten being 'happens all the time', what are the chances of you rupturing my ass?" "Well, not." "The chances are very slim." "It's, uh, more procedural." "Good, well, procedure away, my friend." "This is gonna be fun." "Would you mind rolling onto your left side, please." "(cheerful instrumental music)" "(sound of rubber gloves being put on)" "Thanks." "(sound of air in hose)" "Wait a minute." "Before we go to whatever base this is we're going to, um, shouldn't I know your first name?" "Julian." "Julian." "(Marley laughing)" "Julian Goldstein." "My hero." "(Marley laughing loudly)" "(echo of Marley laughing)" "(instrumental music)" "Where the hell am I?" "(wind blowing)" " Hello, Marley." " Oh, my God." "Wait a minute, Oh, my God." "I mean..." " Are you God?" " Not really." "This is just the way you wanted to see me." "Well, I love Whoopi, so that's probably why." "Yeah, me too." "Oh, have a seat." "Wow!" " I can't believe this," " Guess what?" " You're dying." " I am not dying." "I'm just a little stressed, that's all." "Marley?" "You're dying, but I'm gonna give you three wishes." "Then I want to" " fly." " Okay." "Done." "Wait a minute." "This is for real?" " I want a million bucks." " Alright, but I just have to warn you that that is only gonna be 500,000 after taxes." " Just 'cause I didn't say 'tax free'?" " Even I don't mess with the IRS." "That sucks." "Third wish?" "Okay." "Let me think," " Tic-toc, baby." " Don't rush me." "Jesus." " Hey, hey," " Oh." " Wow." " I'm sorry." " You said it, didn't you?" " Yeah, I did." "Wow." "I don't know." "I don't know what I want." "You know." "You just don't want to admit it." "But I'm pretty sure that if you give it some thought, you'll figure it out." "(God):" "Marley." "(Julian):" "Marley." "Marley, wake up, It's over." "What's over?" "Where am I?" "Where's Whoopi?" "The procedure went fine." "We're going to move you to the recovery room now." "I took some biopsies." "We should get results in a few days." " It's delicious." " I agree." "It's crunchy and chewy." "Peter, I'd like to share mine with you." "Here, Pop." "I'll go." "(Marley laughing)" "(Sarah makes choking sounds) Hey, behave." "Geez, what the hell?" "Okay." "Alright, alright." "I forgot to cook the noodles first." " Ohhh." " There's noodles in this?" "(Peter):" "Do not feed this to Stanley." "Take it." "(Renee):" "No." "I got all this on my plate." "I have cancer." "(everyone continues laughing)" "(sudden silence)" "I went to the doctor last week." "Remember?" "I said I was fine and that I was just stressed, but" " I'm not." " What are you talking about?" "I have, um, colon cancer." "How does one get that, you might ask." "Because I did, And, um," " he said..." " We don't know." "Of course you don't." "Everyone is dying of cancer these days." "Why would you try to figure it out and put yourself out of a job?" "I know this is rough, but we need to talk about what to do next." "I'm going to consult with the head of the oncology department, Dr Sanders." "Can, can, can you just take it out, so I can go on with my life?" "No, unfortunately we can't." "It's already spread throughout the entire colon, making surgery impossible at this point." "And this other guy would have a better idea?" "Dr Sanders, yes." "He's one of the best in the country for-- late stage cancers." "Marley, at this point you only have two options." "Either you start treatment immediately, or you'll die." "Ah." "Okay Dr G., I'm gonna give you a little free advice." "Don't use the 'D' word." "It's a bit of a downer." "And if you're trying to sell me treatment," "I would rethink the 'B' option, because dying isn't an option." "Maybe ty something like:" "'Try our new and improved chemo, because the alternative will leave you breathless.'" "When your 2:30 walks in here and you have to tell him that he's dying, just try it with a little more feeling." "(door slamming) Anyway-- who wants dessert?" "Mom?" "Hi." "Sorry to call so late." "(sobbing)" "Mom, I'm okay." "(blowing nose loudly)" "I'll make sure that you get the best possible treatment." " I don't care how much it costs." " You're going to buy her a new colon?" "I will not have a money discussion." "The gloves are coming off." "Money is the only thing you can talk about." "Marley needs our love and support." "At least pretend to be here for her." "I don't have to pretend." "That's your department." "I'm so glad we got together." "So what did you tell Rob?" " That I have mono." " Right." "And I'm working from home." "I don't want anybody from work knowing." "I got it." "Your butt is your business." "Huh?" "Huh?" " My Dad flew out this morning." " Is your Mom happy?" "So much so she's celebrating by moving here."

"Shouldn't you focus on getting cured rather than getting laid?" "Can't I do both?" "Could you just for once not treat everything like it was a joke?"

" Wow!" " So, what are you doing now?" "Want to get something to eat with me?" " Like, gefilte fish tacos, perhaps." " No, I can't stay." "I'd love to, but it's not doctor protocol to hang around with a patient." "Well, I won't say anything if you don't." "I'm really fun." "How can I say no to that, right?" "Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?" " No." " Why do you not have a girlfriend?" " Is it that obvious?" " Oh, yeah." "Yup." " I practically live at the hospital." " Not much of a life." "Actually, Dr Sanders called me to work here out of more than 2000 applicants." "I can't sacrifice that for a personal life." "Uh-uh." "I guess I'm more of a cake-and-eat-it-too kind of girl." " Oh, yeah?" " Hm." "Then why aren't you in a relationship?" "Because I don't need to be in one to have a personal life." " You're not answering the question."

"Marley, I'm sorry I have to say this, but there's been no improvement." "Wait." "What are you saying?" "The chemo hasn't worked as we had hoped." "And the tumours have continued to grow." "What now?" "What..." "There is one particular clinical trial that's had some success." "Although, typically with patients who had better result from chemo." "Success like people cured?" " Yeah." " What is it?" "It's a series of treatments two times a week." "It's injected into the amected areas." "The objective is to stop or slow down the growth of the cancerous cells." "It's an option." "But you need to be aware that the side effects are very extreme." "There are no guarantees." "Of course." "We have to do it." "So you're going to be a guinea pig?" "It's not an experiment." "It's a clinical trial." "What do you know about this trial?" "What are the success rates?" "He said they're pretty good." "Pretty good?" "And that's it?" "You're going to do it just off of that?" "Actually no, I flipped a coin." "Heads do it." "Tails drop dead." "Look, I'm just saying that we need to make sure this is" " the appropriate course of action." " Excuse me." "We?"

"Don't you feel guilty for leaving me all those nasty messages for missing work?" "Yeah, but I'm..." "You should have come to me sooner." "Why did you keep it a secret?" "Because I didn't want you to look at me the way you are now." "So, have you filed with the insurance company?" "Well, I'm not footing the bill out of my salary." "No, I mean life insurance." "Look, people recover from cancer and, um, however much money you need to make that happen, I want you to have." "There's an option in the company policy that says that anybody who has a" "Life-threatening illness" " can cash out." " Meaning how much?" "A million dollars." "Let me guess." "That would be 500,000 dollars after taxes." "(upbeat music)" "I think my God will be Gucci." " Yeah, definitely." " I think so." " Oh, I love it." " You can fight me for it." "I've got a big G for gorgeous." "Cammie goes to college, or Mommy gets this bag." "(Sarah):" "Love you." "(Peter):" "Okay." "They're fabulous!" "I want you to have these." "Am I making you hot?" "What kind of cologne is that?" "He was flirting with me." " (Marley):" "Oh, boy." " (Sarah):" "You're so weird." "Hey." "There's a maternity department upstairs." "Want to check that out?" "You know" " I'm really tired." "I'm gonna go home and lie down." "Um, thank you so much for today." " I'll call you later." "I love you." " I love you too." "(Sarah):" "I like that." "(Peter):" "Looks like something a stripper would wear." " Is everything okay?" " No." "It's not okay." " She's really sick." " I know." "I'm trying so hard to play along, but I'm terrible at it." "And I" " I just don't want to ruin her day." "That's the last thing I want to do, so-- bye." "I'll take her home." " No!" " It would look so nice on you." " Yes, it would." "If I was you." " A simple 'no' would have sufficed." "I don't need no clothes." "This is for you guys." "Everything you own is swimming on you." " The swimming look is in." " I just want my daughter to look good." "When you look good, you feel good." "I don't need a new wardrobe to feel good." "You also don't need a negative attitude." "You need to wake up and realize I'm not getting any better." " Can we not do this here." " No, Seriously!" "You always bitch about how Dad can't confront anything and here you are walking around in a haze, like protein and a designer dress are going to cure my cancer." "Ahhhh!" "This is the car." "This one." "Thank you." " Was it really that bad?" " I heard you from Jimmy Choo." " It's just that she drives me crazy." " Well, duh!" "She's your Mom." "That's her job." " Thanks for everything." " Thank you." "Ah." "Ow." "Ah." "Marley." "Hey, It's okay," "Just give me a second." "It's gonna be okay." " Is she gonna be alright?" " She's dehydrated." "A couple of bags of saline and she'll be feeling better." "She is right here, people." "'Shop till you drop' is only an expression." "Not bad." "That's the best thing I could come up with." "Dr G." " Ah, hi." " Hi." "Hello." "GI extra ordinaire, Artist extra ordinaire." " Pleased to meet you." " Nice to-- oh!" "I..." "I'm suddenly in the mood for some Jell-O." "Do you need anything?" "Really?" "Jell-O?" " I'm good." "Thanks." " Okay." "Strangely, she's not so good with needles." "Ouch!" " So what happened?" " I don't know." "I just had a" " sudden, searing pain." " Hm." "Come on, doc." "Level with me." "Is all this really gonna be worth it?" "Yeah, um-- well just" " tell me where exactly..." " Ow!" "Sorry." "(Marley sighing)" "Well, there was a pain in my ass, but then I realized it was my mother." "Marley, come on." "Just answer the question." "Is there a woman with a very big needle standing next to me?" "Ow!" "That's my skin you're pricking." "I'm sorry." "I can't seem to find a vein." "Let me try." "Dr G?" "I think I found one." "I don't know how it's doing against my cancer, but this treatment sure is kicking my ass." "Two down, eight to go." "Hey, Marley." "Hey." "Marley." " Hi." " Hi." "Hey, Marley." "There's, um, there's a fund raiser on Saturday-- for patients." " Oh, nice." " Yes, it's for patients, and..." "Sorry." "I'm just going to walk over there where I can still eavesdrop." "I wanted to see if you wanted to come with me." "Not come with me as a date, or anything like that." "No." "It's semi-formal, so I don't know if you like the idea of getting dressed." "I can't tell if you're trying to talk me into it," " or talk yourself out of it." " A bit of both." " I'll see how I feel Saturday." " Oh, good." "Okay." "Thank you." " Sorry." "Thank you." "Bye." " Bye." "Where, besides your life and General Hospital, do doctors look like that?" "I mean-- come on!" "Hello, Marley." "It's your father." "First of all, I don't appreciate you hanging..." "Stanley met a really cute Shitszu today." "I think he had a crush." "I'm not saying you should, but if you let him mate, you'd probably start a whole new breed:" "BullShits." "BullShit Terriers." "(Stanley whining)" "Okay." "Someone needs comfort food." "I'm gonna go home and fix you a really nice Italian dish." "So later on when your doorbell rings, you answer it." "Okay?" "Okay." "Beautiful." "(soft instrumental music)" "(doorbell ringing)" "You Marley?" " Yeah." " I'm Vinnie." "These are for you." "Thank you. l-- whoa, whoa." " I love you." " Bastard." "Ah." "How do you know Peter?" "Who?" "I got a call from work to be here tonight." "Especial Escorts." "I'm really sorry."

" Oh, boy." " Smart." " Full house, baby." " Are you really single?" " I'm the cancer chick, remember?" "Hardly qualifies me for being somebody's dream girl." "Why?"

" You wanna listen to it?" " Yes, of course." "Okay, um, okay." "Why does it suck being an egg?" " I give up." " Why does it suck being an egg?"

"But the-- worst thing is..." "Oh, it's the funny part." "(Marley laughing)" "You are the worst joke teller I've ever met." "Oh, yeah." "Yeah, yeah, that the only person to ever sit in your face is your mother." "You're just hopeless." " Ms Corbett." " Hi, Dr Sanders." "I'll grab an appetizer." " She's a brave girl." " Yeah." "You know she quit the trial." "No, I" " I didn't know that." "It seems to me that your patient's having an easier time keeping emotion out of this decision then you are." "I'm just trying to save her life." "What else am I supposed to do?" "Why did you invite her here?" "Because there's patients, survivors." "It's a fund raiser for cancer." "The line is there for a reason, Doctor." "Not just for the patients." "You'll need to think about what you're doing." " Hey, can I?" " Yes, sir." "Thank you." "What did I miss?" " Do you wanna get out of here?" " Yeah, I know just the place." "First dinner, then a surprise." "Let's go." "What-- a surprise in a dark alley?" " Do you really know where we're going?" " Yeah, I do." "Where are you taking me?" "Come on." "In all the years you've been here, you've never been to a little place called Paradise." "Hey, hey."

"Okay, if you ask me, Dr Julian Goldstein, if I believe in God..." "I mean, I believe in science and in empirical evidence, so, no, I don't believe in a higher power." "But if you ask me, Julian, I'd say I don't know." "Why?" "I envy people who do." "They're so sure that something exists." "What a great way to live." "Without fear." "What are you afraid of?" " No." " Come on." "Come on." "I want to know." " The whole list?" " How about the top three?" "Fine." "I'm afraid if I die my Mom will never recover." "Okay."

"She is a lady who knows what she's talking about." "No, you don't sound crazy at all." "(Marley laughing)" " You don't." " Right." "Coming from a guy with a yo-yo collection." "What?" "You don't like yo-yos?" "You have a problem against yo-yos?" "Well, let me show you." "Okay." "You really are the biggest dork I've ever slept with."
