Can't Buy My Love (2017) - full transcript
Lilly, a hard working EMT, is only focused on her job and getting into medical school. So when wealthy slacker Jeff enters her life it throws her off course. At first, Lilly wants nothing to do with Jeff or his sense of entitlement and lack of direction. As she spends more time with him, she starts to realize that you can't always judge a book by its cover.

- Hey! That s not the point.
It doesn t matter.
- Are you the police?
- No.
- Good.
- If there is an emergency,
an ambulance and a fire truck

and they called the tow truck.
- You called the cops?
Who do you think you are?
- Who do you think you are?
What if there had been
an emergency?
- There wasn t one.
- So you... you think
that because
you drive an expensive car,
you don t have to
look for a parking spot
like the rest of us.
- Was there one?
- If there had been
an emergency,
and this is the part that you
can t seem to grasp,
every second counts.
- Nothing happened! And who made
you the parking police?
Now, if you ll excuse me,
I have to go to the impound
to pick up my car.
So my dad is gonna have to wait
for his blood-pressure
medication,
so I hope you re happy.
- That s not the point!
And you deserve to be towed!
Some people are just
unbelievable.
- What happened?
- Just this rich,
entitled guy at the store
thinks he s
better than everyone else
because he has money.
- Jeff, is that you?
- Unbelievable.
- Are you all right?
- No.
- What happened?
- My car got towed.
I had to call Jonathan
to come pick me up.
Why couldn t she just
mind her own business?
- Who?
- This infuriating goody-goody
with nothing better to do
than to call the cops
on someone for parking
in a parking spot.
- I had his car towed.
[both laugh]
- Girl, you don t mess around.
- She s infuriating.

Jeff."
- Oh, he didn t seem that bad

- You ve complained in the past
about dating guys
who didn t put in any effort.
This guy s putting in
some effort at least.
- Okay,
then I ll write him a note
to thank him for the candy.
But I m not going out with him.
- Hey, whoa-whoa.
It s sacrilegious
to chocoholics around the world

- You re welcome to them.
- Mmm.
- Okay.
After the meeting
with the veterans group,
we have dinner
with the president

Jeff?

Veterans group,
animal shelter, got it.
- You know,
Lilly called Veronica
to check up on me?
- That was thoughtful.
- I was extremely impressed
with their professionalism
and their response time.
- We should do something.
To thank the medical center.
- Excellent idea.
- I ll check into it.

So when can we meet?

Lunch?
- Yeah, Megan will be at school
so that works for me.
- Perfect.
I ll see you soon.
- All right.
Bye.
- There you are.
Lilly, Nick.
- What s up, Dr. R.?
- I received
a phone call yesterday.
Thanks to you and Nick,
the medical center is getting
an extremely generous donation.
- That s wonderful!
- That s fantastic news.
- I invited our patron in today
to get a tour of the facility.
May I present Jeff Alexander
of the Rex Alexander Foundation.
We are extremely grateful
for your generosity.
- Well, thank you, Dr. Richwood,
for having me come down today.
Um, we just wanted
to show our appreciation
for the wonderful care
of my father, Rex.
- We appreciate it.
In fact, we wish
we could adequately
show our gratitude.
- Well, I ve never
gone for a ride
in an ambulance before.
It s a childhood thing, just,
it s silly. I, you know...
- Well, why don t you
go for a ride along
with Nick and Lilly this week?
- Oh. I...
[sighs] I couldn t.
- No, I think we could make
that happen.
Right?
- Okay. Fine.
- Fantastic.
- Fantastic.
- I don t think
this is a good idea.
- We re not breaking
any rules or laws
with a ride along.
- In life or death situations,
having a person like Jeff
around...
- Like Jeff?
- He s not trained.
He s not certified.
If we re transporting a patient,
he could get in the way.
- Lilly, let me just remind you
that the Alexanders are
extremely generous patrons
in our community.
If Jeff wants to go
for a ride along,
I don t see the problem
in indulging him.
- Yes, ma am.
- And don t worry, Lilly,
it s only for a few days.
- So we took the G3 to London...
- Uh-huh.
- For this big charity event.
And she asks if
in England the pilot
has to fly on the wrong side of
the sky. [laughs]
Well, that was the end
of Miss October.
- [laughs]
- Miss November?
Completely different story.
She says she can t wear
the Christian Louboutins
because she s not religious.
- [laughing]
- And now this guy
is invading my work life.
- Are you kidding me?
- Dr. Richwood was so impressed
with his donation that she would
let him move into the medical
center if he wanted.
- [laughs]
And this is the guy who
sent you the flowers
and expensive chocolates?
- This is the guy who threw a
public tantrum because he had to
follow the same rules
as everyone else.
You know, nothing annoys me more
than someone who just
pays their way through life.
[sighs]
What are you doing?
- Moisturizing.
Your hands are
a dead giveaway of your age
because the skin is thin
and wrinkles easily.
Come on, now let me
see this guy.
- Okay.
Don t touch my computer.
- Why would I touch your
computer?
Your guy s Jeff Alexander
of the Rex Alexander Foundation?
- You know him?
And he s not my guy.
- They re huge contributors
to the arts programs at school.
- Hm.
- I don t know, maybe you
should give him a chance.
- What, no?
I have worked so hard
to get where I am
and for everything I have.
I have zero respect
for someone who was
given everything
on a silver platter
and therefore has no integrity
and just expects us
all to cater to his whims.
- That s some speech.
- Do you remember
when I was short-listed
for Barnsley Medical College?
- Mm, yeah.
That was your dream school.
You were number one
on the wait list.
- Mm-hmm.
You know why I didn t get in?
Carlton Strand.
His parents made a huge donation
to the school.
- That s so wrong.
- Yeah.
Carlton was 22 on the wait list.
I was number one.
Guess who got in.
It wasn t me.
- Well, I wouldn t mind
the lifestyle.
- I buy day-old bread
and shop the sale racks,
and I have enough student debt
that I won t pay it off
for a decade.
- Mm.
- Jeff Alexander and I
have nothing in common.
- You can always moisturize.
- Yeah, give me some.
- So I m explaining
to the triage nurse,
and she asks me if the patient
had explained to me
what happened, right?
I said, "No, she was just
a little tongue-tied."
- [groans]
- Oh.
- He always tells this story.
You need new material.
- Ah.
- I didn t know you could
cook eggs in a microwave.
- You can cook anything
in a microwave.
- Mm.
- And then there s
the chainsaw guy.
This is a true story.
- Nick!
That is not a breakfast story.
- Lilly s right.
I ll tell you at lunch.
[beeping]
1138. Code 3.
- Oh, whoa...
- Let s go.
- What s a code 3?
- Means we have to hurry.
Are you coming?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Driving.
- I m driving this time.
- Darn it.
Take the jump seat in the back.
- Let s go.
[knocking]
- Where s your mom?
- In the kitchen.
- You did well calling us.
- Hey there.
I m, uh, I m Jeff.
What s your name?
- Carter.
- How old are you, Carter?
- Seven.
- Seven?
Wow.
You re a big guy.
- Is your mom diabetic?
- Yeah.
She s always testing her blood.
- Low glycemia.
Get the D-5.
- On it.
- Hey.
Want to play catch? Yeah?
- Tape.
- Oh.
- Easy does it.
- Oh.
Oh, I started feeling faint,
and it all happened so fast.
- You were lucky
you were wearing
your medical bracelet.
- How did... how did you, uh...
- Your son called 911.
- Where is he?
- You know,
Lilly and Nick helped
my dad when he was hurt.
- Is your dad sick like my mom?
- No. Uh, he s okay.
But when I was your age?
My mom got really sick.
- Were you always
worried about your mom?
Were you always really scared?
- Yeah.
I was always worried about her.
It s tough when you re worried
about the people you love, huh?
- Yeah.
- Go long, all right? That s it.
Ready? Here we go.
Oh, what a catch!
Yes! Come here.
Yeah! Yes.
Hey, come here.
Hey.
- We need to go.
Now, Carter,
your mom is going to be okay.
But we re gonna take her
to a hospital
where a doctor can
take a look at her, all right?
Do you want to ride
in the ambulance?
- Oh. I bet you
if you ask real nice,
Lilly might let you
turn on the sirens.
- Can I?
- Mm-hmm.
I ll even let you
turn on the lights.
- [gasps]
- Cool!
- Hey, Finn.
- Meggers, hi!
- Is Vince in?
- Yup.
- Thank you.
Knock knock.
- Megan?
Uh, hey.
What are you doing here?
- Half day
for teacher conferences.
- Oh.
[sighs]
- I thought I d surprise you
and we could get lunch.
- Um, sorry, babe, I... I can t.
Actually, I m supposed to be
at lunch right now.
I m gonna be
working late all week.
- Yeah. Sure. Fine.
- You re the best, babe.
I ll see you later.
[kisses]
- I owe you an apology.
I understand now
why you were so upset
about me parking
in the emergency zone.
Every second does matter.
I m sorry.
- Thank you for your apology.
- Didn t have to tow my car,
but... [laughs]
Okay. Maybe you did.
What do you say we start over?
Clean slate?
- Clean slate.
- You know, I feel for Carter.
Been there.
- Your mom?
I m sorry.
- Kids shouldn t have to
deal with
adult issues.
- I agree.
- Hey.
We agree on something.
- Apparently.
- How do you feel about sushi?
- Sure, why not?
- [laughs] Hey you.
- Nice car.
- Thank you.
- It suits you.
- You like?
- Mm-hmm.
- [laughs] You ready?
- Yeah, come on.
- All right, let s go.
- You sure about this place?
- Okay. I know it doesn t
look like much from the outside,
but don t judge
until you see the inside, okay?
- All right.
- All right. [giggles]
I got you, I promise.
- I got it.
- Ah, thank you.
Let me get the light.
So?
What do you think?
- Wow.
- [laughs]
Well, I d like to place
some tables over there.
I d like to place
the dance floor here.
And there s a space over there
for a DJ.
- Well, you were right.
This place is perfect.
- I could get you a 15% discount
if we book today.
- Keely?
You rock.
- [laughs]
- I knew you d
find something great.
- It s what I do.
Well, all that s left for us
to do then is, uh,
oh, meet with the caterers.
And we need to book a DJ.
Oh, and I m gonna need
your final invite list.
- This is gonna be the best
birthday ever.
- Yeah, man.
- You did it.
- Thanks, Vince.
- Thank you.
- Let s go eat, my friend.
- [grunting]
I can t believe I let you
talk me into this.
- My money s on Veronica.
- I need a break.
- Water.
- Here you go.
- You got a good workout.
- How s the ride along going?
- Fantastic.
- And the girl?
- We re going on a date
tomorrow night.
What?
What... what s that look for?
- Jeff, you know I love you.
But if you re doing
this because you
want the challenge,
or because your ego
can t handle the rejection...
- What? No.
I... I mean, maybe at first
it was a bit about that, but...
- Just make sure you re doing it
for the right reasons.
- Okay.
All right.
- Let s get juice.
- Why did you agree
to go to dinner?
- He caught me off guard.
I said yes
before I had a chance to
really think it through
properly.
- You look like you re
going to a business meeting.
- You know what?
I m just going to text him
and I m going to cancel
and I ll say that I m unwell.
- You should go,
but not in that outfit.
He probably already
made reservations
and it would be
rude to cancel now.
- I hate it when you re right.
- It s just dinner.
It s not like
you re marrying the guy.
- Is there something else
going on?
- Vince has been
acting strange lately.
He s working all the time,
but when I called his office,
he was out for the day.
Well, has he ever mentioned
someone named Keely?
- No.
Do you want me to cancel dinner?
I can stay and talk.
- No, no.
You re going on this date.
Wear your blue dress.
It s gorgeous.
- Oh.
- Wow.
[soft laugh]
You look beautiful.
- Thank you.
- Jeff Alexander.
So good to see you again.
- Thank you.
[clears throat]
Allow me.
- Thank you.
- I m Harper.
Anything else you need, Jeff,
just let me know.
- Thank you, Harper.
- Wow.
- Looks amazing, doesn t it?
- Looks expensive.
- You know, it s my treat.
Anything you like.
- Thanks.
- [clears throat]
- Right.
- Well, you have to try...
- One, he used to talk,
now he clams up.
Two, he disappears for hours
to do a simple task.
Three, he starts
working overtime.
Four, he lies
or evades your questions.
Five, he buys you guilt gifts.
- Hey, babe.
- Hey.
- I m just wrapping up
here at work right now.
This Tokyo account
is running me ragged.
You want to grab a bite?
- I already ate,
but you can come by my place.
- Okay. All right, great.
I ll see you soon.
- Alcott Elementary.
- Uh-huh.
- First grade.
Matt Smyth fell out of a tree
and broke his arm
and he wouldn t stop crying.
And there wasn t anything
I could do to help him.
- Oh, no. Poor kid.
- Well, I wanted to
be a doctor ever since.
And I ve applied
to some med schools.
LA Medical School
is my first choice.
- My fingers
are crossed for you.
- So do you enjoy
working as a philanthropist?
- Sure. My philosophy is,
life is short so enjoy it.
My job is to help people
enjoy their lives too.
- I ve never heard
anyone describe
philanthropy quite like that.
- Well, a lot of people
obsess over the money.
Money doesn t matter.
- Only someone with money
would say that
money doesn t matter.
- Okay. Fair enough.
It may make life easier,
but money by itself
never made anyone happy.
Doing what you do,
how do you not become
emotionally attached
to every patient you treat?
- Well, if I did,
I couldn t do my job.
But for every paramedic,
there s one or two cases
that stick with you.
Where you wonder
what if the call
had come in a minute earlier
or there d been
a little less traffic.
- It s much easier
to write a check.
I never get to see the faces
of the people we help.
This whole ride-along thing s
really, uh,
it s really opened my eyes.
- I m glad.
- I can t stop thinking about
Carter though.
You know, I know what it s like
to have a sick parent.
- Well, his mom s back home
and doing much better.
- That s good.
But I want to do something
for kids like Carter.
An organization, a foundation,
something.
- That would be wonderful.
- You think so?
- Absolutely.
- So last piece.
I ll, uh,
chopstick-battle you for it.
- Okay.
- Ready?
[clears throat]
- Three, two...
- One, go.
[laughs] Oh, oh.
- Ah!
- Careful... ah.
- Ah! Ha!
- Organic, non-GMO
air-popped popcorn
seasoned with herbs.
- Oh, Veronica.
You re a gem.
Oh. Tonight s your night
to choose.
- Oh.
What do you think about
Lilly and Jeff?
- I think
she ll be good for him.
- I hope so.
But it s only the first date.
- Well, sometimes when you know,
you know.
- Hey, babe.
These are for you.
- Number five.
- Pardon?
- They re lovely.
Thank you.
What s the occasion?
- Does a guy need a reason
to buy his girlfriend flowers?
- You tell me.
- [sighs] Look, I feel guilty.
I ve just been working
such long hours.
- Called your office yesterday.
- Oh, yeah?
- I thought you said you d
be in meetings all day,
but your assistant said you were
gone for the afternoon.
- Oh, you know, I had a couple,
uh, meetings off-site.
- Mm.
That s unusual for you.
- Tokyo guys wanted to see the
town, so I took them on a tour.
Uh, you want your coffee?
- So who s working
on the Tokyo account?
- Ben, Aaron, Jackie, Brad.
Is everything okay?
- Why wouldn t it be?
- [scoffs] I don t know.
- [sighs] I m fine.
We re fine, right?
- Yes.
Of course we are.
Come here.
[kisses]
- Thank you. That was the most
amazing meal I ve ever had.
- Oh, that was the most amazing
chopstick battle I ve ever had.
I had a lot of fun.
- So did I.
- Jeffrey.
- Crystal.
- [kisses]
- Uh, okay.
Um, Crystal, this is Lilly.
- Hi.
Nice to meet you.
- Lilly s been kind enough
to put up with me
at the medical center this week.
- Oh. You re one of
his charity projects.
How lovely.
Both: Actually...
- Jeffrey, we missed your
gorgeous face
at the polo match
for muscular dystrophy.
- I had a previous obligation.
How d it go?
- We raised 500.
I was hoping for 700.
Promise me that
you won t miss my gala?
- Uh, remind me?
- We re raising money for CDH.
Where s your phone?
- Crystal... hey.
I m so sorry.
Crystal, my phone, please?
Crystal, this is not okay.
- There.
Now you can t forget.
- What are you doing?
- Wow.
What is that outfit?
- I m trying out a new look.
I m pretty sure
Vince is cheating on me.
- Vince?
I don t believe it, no.
- I know him well enough
to know when he s lying.
And he was lying about where
he was and who he was with.
- Okay, that doesn t mean
he s cheating though.
You don t know that.
- I m pretty sure
her name is Keely,
and she s probably 22
and does hot yoga
and drinks kale smoothies.
- Have you talked to Vince
about this yet?
- No, I m not ready for that.
What about you?
How was your date?
- It was fine,
but Jeff lives
in this complete other world.
And I don t want to
be a part of it.
I want to just focus on
getting into med school
and that s it.
- You know,
I can always give you
a list of what else we d like,
you know,
if you re gonna provide.
- And what is going on here?
- Perfect. Thank you.
Oh, well, Jeff has
catered breakfast for us.
- Ah.
- Mm-hmm.
- That s awfully kind of him.
- I couldn t take another day
of Nick s microwaved eggs.
- Oh.
- Gourmet as they were.
- I m gonna bring my famous
cold spaghetti pie.
That ought to get us
a steak dinner, you ll see.
- Dr. Richwood to the ER.
- Uh, Nick, come with me.
Will you take that?
- Uh, what are the sirens for?
- Multiple car crash coming in.
- Yikes.
- Lot of people
texting and driving these days,
and not just kids.
- Yeah.
Hey, listen, I...
I had a really great time
the other night.
I was hoping that maybe
we could, uh, tr...
- Uh, welfare call. Code 2.
70s female.
- Uh, what... what s a code 2?
- An elderly woman hasn t been
heard from in two days.
- On scene, over.
[indistinct radio chatter]
- Thanks.
You go that way.
Hello!
- Hello?
- Is anyone home?
- LA County Sheriff!
- Ma am?
- Hello, is anyone here?
- Ma am?
LA County Sheriff!
- Hello?
- Is anyone here?
- Ma am, are you home?
- Ma am, we re here to help you.
- Hello?
Is anyone home?
Is anyone here?
LA County Sheriff.
- Lilly.
- Did you find her?
- No, but I found this.
[laughs]
- This is Charlie 8-12.
70s female has gone on vacation
in the Rockies.
I repeat: 70s female
is on vacation in the Rockies.
She ll be returning March 25th.
Over.
- So this woman is safe
and happily traveling
through Canada.
- Apparently.
- Ha, great.
- We re all good.
- So, uh,
you get many false alarms?
- A few.
I d rather have
a false alarm than a fatality.
- Mm.
- Good morning.
Hey, good morning.
- Hi.
- I am here
to see Vince Rossmore.
I m his 11:00.
- Uh, give me one second.
- Okay.
- Yep.
He s ready for you.
- Perfect.
Thank you.
- Your 11:00 a.m. is here.
- Hi.
- Come on in.
Have a seat.
- Thank you.
- Thank you for coming.
- Well, if the client
is too busy
to come to the caterer,
the caterer comes to the client.
- Yes.
- Voilà.
- Megan loves chocolate.
- I have all the chocolate
choices for her.
[laughs]
Let me see.
Let s start with, uh, we have
a Belgian milk chocolate.
A fudgy chocolate with ganache,
my personal fave, yes.
And a raspberry-filled
dark chocolate.
And, lastly, a coconut chocolate
with cream cheese.
- I m glad I skipped lunch.
- Yeah.
[laughs]
- Did you bring the milk?
- Did I bring the milk?
- Yes.
- What s in my bag of tricks
over here?
Milk.
[clears throat]
- Okay.
I m not even gonna go there.
- It was on sale!
- Yeah. Knowing you...
- Bang for my buck.
Let me get you a fork.
Hold on, let me see.
Okay. Here we go.
- Thank you.
All right, let s see.
Okay.
- [laughs]
- That s the one.
- [laughing]
- That s the one, right there.
- All my clients die
for Becky s Bakery.
- Hey, Finn.
- Hey, Meggers.
He s in a meeting right now.
You can t go in.
Sorry, doll.
- Mmm.
- [laughs]
- Yes!
- Yeah.
- What s going on in there?
- Just a meeting.
- Just melts in your mouth.
- Yes.
- Yeah.
[laughs]
- With whom is he meeting?
- She s not a work client.
Her name is Kelly, Kylie...
- Keely?
- That s it.
- Mmm. That s it.
That s the best.
That is the best right there.
- [laughing]
- Oh, yes!
- Yeah?
[both laughing]
- Don t tell him I was here.
- [grunting]
- Nice form, Pops.
What do you call that move?
- Uh, lunge curl.
- [chuckles]
- What do you got there?
- Oh, it s Veronica s vanilla
milkshake. You want some?
- Ugh, keep that away from me.
[grunts]
How s everything
at the medical center?
- Intense.
I don t know how
they do what they do every day.
- It s a special calling.
- Yeah.
- How s Lilly?
- You know,
I just can t figure her out.
She s impossible to read.
- Son,
I m gonna tell you the secret
to understanding women.
Listen.
- Ow. Okay. I m listening.
What is it?
- No, no, no, no, no.
That s the secret.
A woman will tell you
everything you need to know
if you just listen.
- Ha.
- Morning, Doc.
- 380, copy.
- Copy.
[indistinct radio chatter]
- I can t believe
you re still awake.
- Well, we introduced
solid foods this week
and Everett started
sleeping through the night.
Which happily means
Mommy and Daddy
started sleeping
through the night.
- En passant.
- What was that?
- Look it up.
- Nick hates to lose.
- I do not.
En passant?
- Mm-hmm.
- It s ridiculous.
- I got an email from
the Los Angeles Medical School.
"Dear Lilly Springler...
Inform..."
Wait-listed.
Again.
- Means you still have a chance.
- Yeah, if a buy a new wing
for the hospital.
I... I can t keep doing this.
- Doing what?
- Getting so close to my dream
and then having the door
slammed in my face.
[beeping]
- Charlie 812, pediatric trauma.
1915 North Tamara Avenue.
Support. LAFD on scene.
- Asthma is difficult
to deal with,
but your brother s
gonna be okay.
- Lilly wouldn t tell you that
if it wasn t true.
- That s right.
- I ll go with them.
- I will stay here, and I will
take care of the paperwork.
- I hate paperwork.
She s the best.
- Yeah, so I m learning.
- Got a knack with kids.
- Well, that s because I am one.
- [chuckles] I can see that.
- When was the last time
you were on vacation?
- Um.
I can t remember.
- Or had fun?
- Does the cardiac
science symposium count?
- No, definitely not.
- [chuckles]
- Saw you re off Saturday.
Any plans?
- Laundry. Errands.
Loads of fun.
- Good; get your errands
done early,
cause I m picking you up
at noon.
- What for?
- You ll see.
Trust me.
[knocking]
- What do you think?
- Ixnay on the sneakers.
- Jeff won t tell me
where we re going.
I want to be comfortable.
[phone rings]
Is that Vince?
You know you re gonna have to
talk to him eventually.
- I know.
I just can t right now.
- Are you gonna be all right?
- I m sorry to be such a bummer,
but this is not the way
my life was supposed to go.
By 30, I was supposed to be
a professor,
not a single substitute teacher
living with a roommate.
No offense.
- Peoples lives don t turn out
the way they planned.
But you have family and friends
who love you.
And you have plenty of time to
achieve all of your dreams...
with or without Vince.
- [sniffs] Thanks, Lil.
- Okay.
I can t leave you here.
- [giggles]
- Come with us. Come.
- No. No,
I m just gonna lie here
and contemplate
my wasted existence.
- [sighs]
- I ll be fine.
Just go.
I m gonna be mad
if you don t go and have fun.
- Okay.
- Wow.
You look beautiful, as always.
- Thanks.
- Promise not to have me towed?
- If you park in the right spot,
I won t have to.
- Hm.
You know,
you were my inspiration
for this whole thing.
- What thing?
Jeff, what is it?
- Watching you at work,
you inspired me to want to be
more involved
with the people we help.
So you are standing on
the new Rex Alexander Kid Camp.
- Oh, that s wonderful!
- I mean, when my mom got sick,
I had a hard time
dealing with the sadness.
My dad sent me to Camp Calston
for the week.
At first I didn t want to go,
but then I ended up
having the time of my life.
We swam in the lake.
We camped out under the stars.
Played games.
My counselor
helped me understand
that it was okay
to feel sad about my mom
and still have fun
with the other kids,
that I wasn t alone.
- You were just a boy
when you went through all this.
- [sighs]
I want this place to be for kids
what Camp Calston was for me.
You know, a place for them
to process their grief
and do what kids should be
doing, having fun.
- Well, I m really proud of you.
And it does fit
your personal philosophy,
helping people
enjoy their lives.
- You remembered.
I want you to be a part of it.
- I want to be a part of it too.
- Well, everyone has to
bring something to the table.
- [chuckles]
- What do you got?
- I can teach first aid.
- Mm.
- Knowledge empowers kids.
It reduces their stress
to have an action plan
in case of an emergency.
- Amazing.
Anything else?
- I can make a mean s more.
- Oh, now we are talking.
You are hired.
- [laughs]
[phone ringing]
[phone rings]
- Megan, I don t know
what s going on,
but it would be great
if you would just call me back.
I love you.
- Thank you. Hey.
Sorry I m a few minutes late.
- Fine.
Have a seat.
- You okay?
- My girlfriend, Megan,
is having a tough time
with this birthday.
- Well, 30 is different
for everyone, Vince.
- I don t know why.
It was fine for me.
It s just another number.
- [laughs]
Look. Hey.
Maybe it s not about the number,
but what it means to her
as a woman.
- What do you mean?
- Okay, well, some people have
certain expectations
for themselves,
personally and
professionally, right?
- Of course.
- Well,
if those things haven t
been reached by a certain age,
it triggers a crises.
- Look at you.
- Do you like that?
- [laughs]
- Dropping gems.
[laughs]
- Yeah, I guess I never
thought about it that way.
- Yeah.
I majored in psychology.
Don t ask how that led to
a career in party planning.
- [laughs]
- [laughs] Something went wrong.
- I think throwing her
this birthday party
will probably be the best thing
to do to cheer her up.
- Okay.
Let s go over the final details.
- All right.
Let s do it.
- So we got the place
you wanted.
- All right.
- And if we don t hit any snags,
I think we ll be up and running
by early next year.
But enough about all that.
I ve got something for you.
[chuckles]
- Jeff, what s this?
- You ll see.
Close your eyes.
No peeking.
[laughs]
Ready?
- Jeff!
- I made these myself.
[both chuckle]
Veronica was
a little concerned about
you eating my cooking though.
- Well, I ll go with PB&J
just to be safe.
- Mm.
- Mmm!
They re delicious.
- Ah, success.
I could tell this
medical school thing was
stressing you out so I wanted to
take you somewhere
where you d relax.
- That s really thoughtful.
- I propose a toast.
A toast to enjoying life.
[glasses clink]
You know,
it s true what they say.
The best things in life,
you can t buy.
- I think I owe you an apology.
- Oh?
- I m trained to
quickly assess a situation
and make an accurate
snap judgment.
Lives depend on it.
But I may have judged you
too soon.
- How so?
- Well, I just thought
you were some
rich, entitled,
spoiled, shallow brat
who just bought his
way through life.
- Any more adjectives?
- [laughs]
No, I m serious.
I thought
you were just coasting,
without...
Without care or regard
for anyone else.
- Please, don t sugarcoat
on my account.
- [scoffs]
Now that I ve
spent some time with you,
I can admit that I was wrong.
- Well, maybe not entirely.
Before I met you,
I was coasting, in a way.
You made me
really look at myself.
What I wanted to do,
who I wanted to be.
And it turns out
it s helping kids.
- Uh, thank you for today.
- Uh, my pleasure.
- Well, I ll see you
at the med center tomorrow then.
- I meant to tell you.
Rex has meetings
all next week in London.
And I m traveling with him.
- London?
Nice.
- You know, foundation business.
- Well, enjoy.
- I, uh, I don t know
if you remember
what Crystal said
about the CDH gala.
- I remember.
- I was, uh...
wondering if you d
be interested in going.
- Are you sure
Crystal wouldn t mind?
- I don t mind if she does mind.
What do you think?
- I d like that.
- Me too.
[kisses]
Good night.
- Good night.
- How did it go?
- Uh, good.
And what about you,
are you feeling a little better?
- A little.
But you re right.
I still have plenty of time
to achieve my goals.
And I m not getting
any closer to my dreams
by moping around
or by putting on wrinkle cream.
- That s the spirit.
And what are you working on?
- Grad school applications.
- Megan, that s wonderful.
- Thank you for being
such a good friend.
And for putting up
with my craziness.
- I wouldn t trade your
craziness for anything.

- So, Jeff, tell me about
this new charity of yours.

They do typical camp things

Like, uh, one I wish I had

I m proud of you, son.
Founding your first charity.
Your mom would be proud too.

And how important it is

Oh.

- From now on,

Okay?
- How many times
do we have to tell these kids
that it s more cool
to wear a helmet
than to end up in here?
- They still don t listen.
- Yeah.
- Everett s never leaving
the house without a helmet.
And a full-armored body suit.
Where s our
philanthropist today?

business, but you re like my

- Thought you liked Jeff?
- I do, but he lives in
an entirely different world.
And I don t want to see you
get hurt.

than he seems.
- Hope you re right.
- Look, I appreciate
your concern,
but I know what I m doing.
- Okay.
But if he hurts you?
He s gonna go
for an ambulance ride
and not in the jump seat.
- Okay, deal.
- Megan, this silent treatment
is getting ridiculous.
Would you please call me back?
I need to talk to you.
It s important.

Dude, are you okay?

He already knew I d gotten in.
No.
I refuse to let anyone

But I gave mine to charity.
Mine had a little...
Ah.
It is my old dress!

Lilly here chose my dress

She s wearing my old dress.

- I didn t know that.
- But you didn t.
- Yeah, why is that?
- Because I saw
a heartbroken boy.
And I thought I could add
something to your lives
that had nothing to do
with money or fancy cars.
If Lilly is
the right one for you,
she ll find a way
to close the distance.

Mm.
Huh.

Yeah.

- Vince, what s wrong?
- Well,
today s Megan s birthday,
and I ve been going crazy
for the past three days,
trying to get in touch with her.
Think she blocked my number.
Do you know that Finn thinks
that Megan thinks
that I m cheating on her?
- Excuse me.
- Okay.
Now, I am not at liberty
to speak on Megan s behalf...
- Because that s absurd,

I have never and would never
cheat on Megan.
I...
[breathing deeply]
- Okay.
Okay, come on, sit down.
Come on.
- Now I feel dizzy.
- So you re not cheating?
- No, are you...
Look, I have been planning
a big surprise party
for Megan s birthday tonight.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
Okay, look, all right,
I understand
how my behavior might have
seemed suspicious,
but I was just trying
to keep the party a secret.
- Okay, that makes sense.
But let me ask you something.
Were you going to invite me
to this party?
- Well, I couldn t exactly
mail you an invitation.
I was gonna tell you
at the last minute
so you wouldn t have to
keep the party a secret.
But look,
it doesn t even matter.
There s not going to be a party
once I tell her.
- Leave it to me.
- [sighs] All right.
- What on earth are you doing?
- I m studying for my CSET.
I m gonna ace this thing
and get into UCLA s
education program.
- You re studying

You re even sadder than I am.

According to this,
40 is the new 30.
So I don t have to worry

It s about you.
And I won t take no

- Going.
- Okay.
Go get dressed.
- Look at us, two single girls

Come on, birthday girl.
Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop.

I was always worried about her.
It s tough when you re worried
about the people you love, huh?
- Yeah.
- Go long, all right? That s it.
Ready? Here we go.
Oh, what a catch!
Yes! Come here.
Yeah! Yes.
Hey, come here.
Hey.
- We need to go.
Now, Carter,
your mom is going to be okay.
But we re gonna take her
to a hospital
where a doctor can
take a look at her, all right?
Do you want to ride
in the ambulance?
- Oh. I bet you
if you ask real nice,
Lilly might let you
turn on the sirens.
- Can I?
- Mm-hmm.
I ll even let you
turn on the lights.
- [gasps]
- Cool!
- Hey, Finn.
- Meggers, hi!
- Is Vince in?
- Yup.
- Thank you.
Knock knock.
- Megan?
Uh, hey.
What are you doing here?
- Half day
for teacher conferences.
- Oh.
[sighs]
- I thought I d surprise you
and we could get lunch.
- Um, sorry, babe, I... I can t.
Actually, I m supposed to be
at lunch right now.
I m gonna be
working late all week.
- Yeah. Sure. Fine.
- You re the best, babe.
I ll see you later.
[kisses]
- I owe you an apology.
I understand now
why you were so upset
about me parking
in the emergency zone.
Every second does matter.
I m sorry.
- Thank you for your apology.
- Didn t have to tow my car,
but... [laughs]
Okay. Maybe you did.
What do you say we start over?
Clean slate?
- Clean slate.
- You know, I feel for Carter.
Been there.
- Your mom?
I m sorry.
- Kids shouldn t have to
deal with
adult issues.
- I agree.
- Hey.
We agree on something.
- Apparently.
- How do you feel about sushi?
- Sure, why not?
- [laughs] Hey you.
- Nice car.
- Thank you.
- It suits you.
- You like?
- Mm-hmm.
- [laughs] You ready?
- Yeah, come on.
- All right, let s go.
- You sure about this place?
- Okay. I know it doesn t
look like much from the outside,
but don t judge
until you see the inside, okay?
- All right.
- All right. [giggles]
I got you, I promise.
- I got it.
- Ah, thank you.
Let me get the light.
So?
What do you think?
- Wow.
- [laughs]
Well, I d like to place
some tables over there.
I d like to place
the dance floor here.
And there s a space over there
for a DJ.
- Well, you were right.
This place is perfect.
- I could get you a 15% discount
if we book today.
- Keely?
You rock.
- [laughs]
- I knew you d
find something great.
- It s what I do.
Well, all that s left for us
to do then is, uh,
oh, meet with the caterers.
And we need to book a DJ.
Oh, and I m gonna need
your final invite list.
- This is gonna be the best
birthday ever.
- Yeah, man.
- You did it.
- Thanks, Vince.
- Thank you.
- Let s go eat, my friend.
- [grunting]
I can t believe I let you
talk me into this.
- My money s on Veronica.
- I need a break.
- Water.
- Here you go.
- You got a good workout.
- How s the ride along going?
- Fantastic.
- And the girl?
- We re going on a date
tomorrow night.
What?
What... what s that look for?
- Jeff, you know I love you.
But if you re doing
this because you
want the challenge,
or because your ego
can t handle the rejection...
- What? No.
I... I mean, maybe at first
it was a bit about that, but...
- Just make sure you re doing it
for the right reasons.
- Okay.
All right.
- Let s get juice.
- Why did you agree
to go to dinner?
- He caught me off guard.
I said yes
before I had a chance to
really think it through
properly.
- You look like you re
going to a business meeting.
- You know what?
I m just going to text him
and I m going to cancel
and I ll say that I m unwell.
- You should go,
but not in that outfit.
He probably already
made reservations
and it would be
rude to cancel now.
- I hate it when you re right.
- It s just dinner.
It s not like
you re marrying the guy.
- Is there something else
going on?
- Vince has been
acting strange lately.
He s working all the time,
but when I called his office,
he was out for the day.
Well, has he ever mentioned
someone named Keely?
- No.
Do you want me to cancel dinner?
I can stay and talk.
- No, no.
You re going on this date.
Wear your blue dress.
It s gorgeous.
- Oh.
- Wow.
[soft laugh]
You look beautiful.
- Thank you.
- Jeff Alexander.
So good to see you again.
- Thank you.
[clears throat]
Allow me.
- Thank you.
- I m Harper.
Anything else you need, Jeff,
just let me know.
- Thank you, Harper.
- Wow.
- Looks amazing, doesn t it?
- Looks expensive.
- You know, it s my treat.
Anything you like.
- Thanks.
- [clears throat]
- Right.
- Well, you have to try...
- One, he used to talk,
now he clams up.
Two, he disappears for hours
to do a simple task.
Three, he starts
working overtime.
Four, he lies
or evades your questions.
Five, he buys you guilt gifts.
- Hey, babe.
- Hey.
- I m just wrapping up
here at work right now.
This Tokyo account
is running me ragged.
You want to grab a bite?
- I already ate,
but you can come by my place.
- Okay. All right, great.
I ll see you soon.
- Alcott Elementary.
- Uh-huh.
- First grade.
Matt Smyth fell out of a tree
and broke his arm
and he wouldn t stop crying.
And there wasn t anything
I could do to help him.
- Oh, no. Poor kid.
- Well, I wanted to
be a doctor ever since.
And I ve applied
to some med schools.
LA Medical School
is my first choice.
- My fingers
are crossed for you.
- So do you enjoy
working as a philanthropist?
- Sure. My philosophy is,
life is short so enjoy it.
My job is to help people
enjoy their lives too.
- I ve never heard
anyone describe
philanthropy quite like that.
- Well, a lot of people
obsess over the money.
Money doesn t matter.
- Only someone with money
would say that
money doesn t matter.
- Okay. Fair enough.
It may make life easier,
but money by itself
never made anyone happy.
Doing what you do,
how do you not become
emotionally attached
to every patient you treat?
- Well, if I did,
I couldn t do my job.
But for every paramedic,
there s one or two cases
that stick with you.
Where you wonder
what if the call
had come in a minute earlier
or there d been
a little less traffic.
- It s much easier
to write a check.
I never get to see the faces
of the people we help.
This whole ride-along thing s
really, uh,
it s really opened my eyes.
- I m glad.
- I can t stop thinking about
Carter though.
You know, I know what it s like
to have a sick parent.
- Well, his mom s back home
and doing much better.
- That s good.
But I want to do something
for kids like Carter.
An organization, a foundation,
something.
- That would be wonderful.
- You think so?
- Absolutely.
- So last piece.
I ll, uh,
chopstick-battle you for it.
- Okay.
- Ready?
[clears throat]
- Three, two...
- One, go.
[laughs] Oh, oh.
- Ah!
- Careful... ah.
- Ah! Ha!
- Organic, non-GMO
air-popped popcorn
seasoned with herbs.
- Oh, Veronica.
You re a gem.
Oh. Tonight s your night
to choose.
- Oh.
What do you think about
Lilly and Jeff?
- I think
she ll be good for him.
- I hope so.
But it s only the first date.
- Well, sometimes when you know,
you know.
- Hey, babe.
These are for you.
- Number five.
- Pardon?
- They re lovely.
Thank you.
What s the occasion?
- Does a guy need a reason
to buy his girlfriend flowers?
- You tell me.
- [sighs] Look, I feel guilty.
I ve just been working
such long hours.
- Called your office yesterday.
- Oh, yeah?
- I thought you said you d
be in meetings all day,
but your assistant said you were
gone for the afternoon.
- Oh, you know, I had a couple,
uh, meetings off-site.
- Mm.
That s unusual for you.
- Tokyo guys wanted to see the
town, so I took them on a tour.
Uh, you want your coffee?
- So who s working
on the Tokyo account?
- Ben, Aaron, Jackie, Brad.
Is everything okay?
- Why wouldn t it be?
- [scoffs] I don t know.
- [sighs] I m fine.
We re fine, right?
- Yes.
Of course we are.
Come here.
[kisses]
- Thank you. That was the most
amazing meal I ve ever had.
- Oh, that was the most amazing
chopstick battle I ve ever had.
I had a lot of fun.
- So did I.
- Jeffrey.
- Crystal.
- [kisses]
- Uh, okay.
Um, Crystal, this is Lilly.
- Hi.
Nice to meet you.
- Lilly s been kind enough
to put up with me
at the medical center this week.
- Oh. You re one of
his charity projects.
How lovely.
Both: Actually...
- Jeffrey, we missed your
gorgeous face
at the polo match
for muscular dystrophy.
- I had a previous obligation.
How d it go?
- We raised 500.
I was hoping for 700.
Promise me that
you won t miss my gala?
- Uh, remind me?
- We re raising money for CDH.
Where s your phone?
- Crystal... hey.
I m so sorry.
Crystal, my phone, please?
Crystal, this is not okay.
- There.
Now you can t forget.
- What are you doing?
- Wow.
What is that outfit?
- I m trying out a new look.
I m pretty sure
Vince is cheating on me.
- Vince?
I don t believe it, no.
- I know him well enough
to know when he s lying.
And he was lying about where
he was and who he was with.
- Okay, that doesn t mean
he s cheating though.
You don t know that.
- I m pretty sure
her name is Keely,
and she s probably 22
and does hot yoga
and drinks kale smoothies.
- Have you talked to Vince
about this yet?
- No, I m not ready for that.
What about you?
How was your date?
- It was fine,
but Jeff lives
in this complete other world.
And I don t want to
be a part of it.
I want to just focus on
getting into med school
and that s it.
- You know,
I can always give you
a list of what else we d like,
you know,
if you re gonna provide.
- And what is going on here?
- Perfect. Thank you.
Oh, well, Jeff has
catered breakfast for us.
- Ah.
- Mm-hmm.
- That s awfully kind of him.
- I couldn t take another day
of Nick s microwaved eggs.
- Oh.
- Gourmet as they were.
- I m gonna bring my famous
cold spaghetti pie.
That ought to get us
a steak dinner, you ll see.
- Dr. Richwood to the ER.
- Uh, Nick, come with me.
Will you take that?
- Uh, what are the sirens for?
- Multiple car crash coming in.
- Yikes.
- Lot of people
texting and driving these days,
and not just kids.
- Yeah.
Hey, listen, I...
I had a really great time
the other night.
I was hoping that maybe
we could, uh, tr...
- Uh, welfare call. Code 2.
70s female.
- Uh, what... what s a code 2?
- An elderly woman hasn t been
heard from in two days.
- On scene, over.
[indistinct radio chatter]
- Thanks.
You go that way.
Hello!
- Hello?
- Is anyone home?
- LA County Sheriff!
- Ma am?
- Hello, is anyone here?
- Ma am?
LA County Sheriff!
- Hello?
- Is anyone here?
- Ma am, are you home?
- Ma am, we re here to help you.
- Hello?
Is anyone home?
Is anyone here?
LA County Sheriff.
- Lilly.
- Did you find her?
- No, but I found this.
[laughs]
- This is Charlie 8-12.
70s female has gone on vacation
in the Rockies.
I repeat: 70s female
is on vacation in the Rockies.
She ll be returning March 25th.
Over.
- So this woman is safe
and happily traveling
through Canada.
- Apparently.
- Ha, great.
- We re all good.
- So, uh,
you get many false alarms?
- A few.
I d rather have
a false alarm than a fatality.
- Mm.
- Good morning.
Hey, good morning.
- Hi.
- I am here
to see Vince Rossmore.
I m his 11:00.
- Uh, give me one second.
- Okay.
- Yep.
He s ready for you.
- Perfect.
Thank you.
- Your 11:00 a.m. is here.
- Hi.
- Come on in.
Have a seat.
- Thank you.
- Thank you for coming.
- Well, if the client
is too busy
to come to the caterer,
the caterer comes to the client.
- Yes.
- Voilà.
- Megan loves chocolate.
- I have all the chocolate
choices for her.
[laughs]
Let me see.
Let s start with, uh, we have
a Belgian milk chocolate.
A fudgy chocolate with ganache,
my personal fave, yes.
And a raspberry-filled
dark chocolate.
And, lastly, a coconut chocolate
with cream cheese.
- I m glad I skipped lunch.
- Yeah.
[laughs]
- Did you bring the milk?
- Did I bring the milk?
- Yes.
- What s in my bag of tricks
over here?
Milk.
[clears throat]
- Okay.
I m not even gonna go there.
- It was on sale!
- Yeah. Knowing you...
- Bang for my buck.
Let me get you a fork.
Hold on, let me see.
Okay. Here we go.
- Thank you.
All right, let s see.
Okay.
- [laughs]
- That s the one.
- [laughing]
- That s the one, right there.
- All my clients die
for Becky s Bakery.
- Hey, Finn.
- Hey, Meggers.
He s in a meeting right now.
You can t go in.
Sorry, doll.
- Mmm.
- [laughs]
- Yes!
- Yeah.
- What s going on in there?
- Just a meeting.
- Just melts in your mouth.
- Yes.
- Yeah.
[laughs]
- With whom is he meeting?
- She s not a work client.
Her name is Kelly, Kylie...
- Keely?
- That s it.
- Mmm. That s it.
That s the best.
That is the best right there.
- [laughing]
- Oh, yes!
- Yeah?
[both laughing]
- Don t tell him I was here.
- [grunting]
- Nice form, Pops.
What do you call that move?
- Uh, lunge curl.
- [chuckles]
- What do you got there?
- Oh, it s Veronica s vanilla
milkshake. You want some?
- Ugh, keep that away from me.
[grunts]
How s everything
at the medical center?
- Intense.
I don t know how
they do what they do every day.
- It s a special calling.
- Yeah.
- How s Lilly?
- You know,
I just can t figure her out.
She s impossible to read.
- Son,
I m gonna tell you the secret
to understanding women.
Listen.
- Ow. Okay. I m listening.
What is it?
- No, no, no, no, no.
That s the secret.
A woman will tell you
everything you need to know
if you just listen.
- Ha.
- Morning, Doc.
- 380, copy.
- Copy.
[indistinct radio chatter]
- I can t believe
you re still awake.
- Well, we introduced
solid foods this week
and Everett started
sleeping through the night.
Which happily means
Mommy and Daddy
started sleeping
through the night.
- En passant.
- What was that?
- Look it up.
- Nick hates to lose.
- I do not.
En passant?
- Mm-hmm.
- It s ridiculous.
- I got an email from
the Los Angeles Medical School.
"Dear Lilly Springler...
Inform..."
Wait-listed.
Again.
- Means you still have a chance.
- Yeah, if a buy a new wing
for the hospital.
I... I can t keep doing this.
- Doing what?
- Getting so close to my dream
and then having the door
slammed in my face.
[beeping]
- Charlie 812, pediatric trauma.
1915 North Tamara Avenue.
Support. LAFD on scene.
- Asthma is difficult
to deal with,
but your brother s
gonna be okay.
- Lilly wouldn t tell you that
if it wasn t true.
- That s right.
- I ll go with them.
- I will stay here, and I will
take care of the paperwork.
- I hate paperwork.
She s the best.
- Yeah, so I m learning.
- Got a knack with kids.
- Well, that s because I am one.
- [chuckles] I can see that.
- When was the last time
you were on vacation?
- Um.
I can t remember.
- Or had fun?
- Does the cardiac
science symposium count?
- No, definitely not.
- [chuckles]
- Saw you re off Saturday.
Any plans?
- Laundry. Errands.
Loads of fun.
- Good; get your errands
done early,
cause I m picking you up
at noon.
- What for?
- You ll see.
Trust me.
[knocking]
- What do you think?
- Ixnay on the sneakers.
- Jeff won t tell me
where we re going.
I want to be comfortable.
[phone rings]
Is that Vince?
You know you re gonna have to
talk to him eventually.
- I know.
I just can t right now.
- Are you gonna be all right?
- I m sorry to be such a bummer,
but this is not the way
my life was supposed to go.
By 30, I was supposed to be
a professor,
not a single substitute teacher
living with a roommate.
No offense.
- Peoples lives don t turn out
the way they planned.
But you have family and friends
who love you.
And you have plenty of time to
achieve all of your dreams...
with or without Vince.
- [sniffs] Thanks, Lil.
- Okay.
I can t leave you here.
- [giggles]
- Come with us. Come.
- No. No,
I m just gonna lie here
and contemplate
my wasted existence.
- [sighs]
- I ll be fine.
Just go.
I m gonna be mad
if you don t go and have fun.
- Okay.
- Wow.
You look beautiful, as always.
- Thanks.
- Promise not to have me towed?
- If you park in the right spot,
I won t have to.
- Hm.
You know,
you were my inspiration
for this whole thing.
- What thing?
Jeff, what is it?
- Watching you at work,
you inspired me to want to be
more involved
with the people we help.
So you are standing on
the new Rex Alexander Kid Camp.
- Oh, that s wonderful!
- I mean, when my mom got sick,
I had a hard time
dealing with the sadness.
My dad sent me to Camp Calston
for the week.
At first I didn t want to go,
but then I ended up
having the time of my life.
We swam in the lake.
We camped out under the stars.
Played games.
My counselor
helped me understand
that it was okay
to feel sad about my mom
and still have fun
with the other kids,
that I wasn t alone.
- You were just a boy
when you went through all this.
- [sighs]
I want this place to be for kids
what Camp Calston was for me.
You know, a place for them
to process their grief
and do what kids should be
doing, having fun.
- Well, I m really proud of you.
And it does fit
your personal philosophy,
helping people
enjoy their lives.
- You remembered.
I want you to be a part of it.
- I want to be a part of it too.
- Well, everyone has to
bring something to the table.
- [chuckles]
- What do you got?
- I can teach first aid.
- Mm.
- Knowledge empowers kids.
It reduces their stress
to have an action plan
in case of an emergency.
- Amazing.
Anything else?
- I can make a mean s more.
- Oh, now we are talking.
You are hired.
- [laughs]
[phone ringing]
[phone rings]
- Megan, I don t know
what s going on,
but it would be great
if you would just call me back.
I love you.
- Thank you. Hey.
Sorry I m a few minutes late.
- Fine.
Have a seat.
- You okay?
- My girlfriend, Megan,
is having a tough time
with this birthday.
- Well, 30 is different
for everyone, Vince.
- I don t know why.
It was fine for me.
It s just another number.
- [laughs]
Look. Hey.
Maybe it s not about the number,
but what it means to her
as a woman.
- What do you mean?
- Okay, well, some people have
certain expectations
for themselves,
personally and
professionally, right?
- Of course.
- Well,
if those things haven t
been reached by a certain age,
it triggers a crises.
- Look at you.
- Do you like that?
- [laughs]
- Dropping gems.
[laughs]
- Yeah, I guess I never
thought about it that way.
- Yeah.
I majored in psychology.
Don t ask how that led to
a career in party planning.
- [laughs]
- [laughs] Something went wrong.
- I think throwing her
this birthday party
will probably be the best thing
to do to cheer her up.
- Okay.
Let s go over the final details.
- All right.
Let s do it.
- So we got the place
you wanted.
- All right.
- And if we don t hit any snags,
I think we ll be up and running
by early next year.
But enough about all that.
I ve got something for you.
[chuckles]
- Jeff, what s this?
- You ll see.
Close your eyes.
No peeking.
[laughs]
Ready?
- Jeff!
- I made these myself.
[both chuckle]
Veronica was
a little concerned about
you eating my cooking though.
- Well, I ll go with PB&J
just to be safe.
- Mm.
- Mmm!
They re delicious.
- Ah, success.
I could tell this
medical school thing was
stressing you out so I wanted to
take you somewhere
where you d relax.
- That s really thoughtful.
- I propose a toast.
A toast to enjoying life.
[glasses clink]
You know,
it s true what they say.
The best things in life,
you can t buy.
- I think I owe you an apology.
- Oh?
- I m trained to
quickly assess a situation
and make an accurate
snap judgment.
Lives depend on it.
But I may have judged you
too soon.
- How so?
- Well, I just thought
you were some
rich, entitled,
spoiled, shallow brat
who just bought his
way through life.
- Any more adjectives?
- [laughs]
No, I m serious.
I thought
you were just coasting,
without...
Without care or regard
for anyone else.
- Please, don t sugarcoat
on my account.
- [scoffs]
Now that I ve
spent some time with you,
I can admit that I was wrong.
- Well, maybe not entirely.
Before I met you,
I was coasting, in a way.
You made me
really look at myself.
What I wanted to do,
who I wanted to be.
And it turns out
it s helping kids.
- Uh, thank you for today.
- Uh, my pleasure.
- Well, I ll see you
at the med center tomorrow then.
- I meant to tell you.
Rex has meetings
all next week in London.
And I m traveling with him.
- London?
Nice.
- You know, foundation business.
- Well, enjoy.
- I, uh, I don t know
if you remember
what Crystal said
about the CDH gala.
- I remember.
- I was, uh...
wondering if you d
be interested in going.
- Are you sure
Crystal wouldn t mind?
- I don t mind if she does mind.
What do you think?
- I d like that.
- Me too.
[kisses]
Good night.
- Good night.
- How did it go?
- Uh, good.
And what about you,
are you feeling a little better?
- A little.
But you re right.
I still have plenty of time
to achieve my goals.
And I m not getting
any closer to my dreams
by moping around
or by putting on wrinkle cream.
- That s the spirit.
And what are you working on?
- Grad school applications.
- Megan, that s wonderful.
- Thank you for being
such a good friend.
And for putting up
with my craziness.
- I wouldn t trade your
craziness for anything.
- [laughs]
[upbeat rock music]
♪ ♪
- So, Jeff, tell me about
this new charity of yours.
- It s a camp for kids
dealing with chronic illnesses
within their families.
They do typical camp things
with the added benefit
of having peers
they can relate to.
Like, uh, one I wish I had
when I was a kid.
- I love it.
I m proud of you, son.
Founding your first charity.
Your mom would be proud too.
- Thanks, Dad.
- When that ambulance
came for me,
I remembered how short life is.
And how important it is
to let the people you love know
how much you care about them.
Cause one day
it just might be too late.
I love you, Jeff.
- I love you too.
- I say we go party.
- Jeffrey!
[laughing]
Hi.
- Crystal.
- Thought that was you.
- Hey.
- Hi. [kisses]
- Uh, Crystal,
you remember my dad, Rex?
- Of course.
Lovely to see you again, Rex.
- Always a pleasure, Crystal.
- What are you doing in London?
- Calandre here is starring in a
fashion show tomorrow evening.
- Pleasure.
- Jeffrey is the philanthropist
I ve been telling you about.
- [clears throat]
- Brilliant.
You should come to the show.
- I don t know.
I think we have some...
Don t we have some business
we have to account for...
- Oh, our last meeting s
at 4:00.
- Then it s settled.
- All right.
[camera shutter clicks]
- [chuckles]
- Oh.
- We were you guys headed?
Oh.
- Oh.
- Oh, boy.
- They re everywhere.
- From now on,
wear a helmet, dude.
Okay?
- How many times
do we have to tell these kids
that it s more cool
to wear a helmet
than to end up in here?
- They still don t listen.
- Yeah.
- Everett s never leaving
the house without a helmet.
And a full-armored body suit.
Where s our
philanthropist today?
- London.
- You can say it s none of my
business, but you re like my
sister and I don t want to
see you...
- Okay. What is it?
- Be careful.
- Thought you liked Jeff?
- I do, but he lives in
an entirely different world.
And I don t want to see you
get hurt.
- Jeff is far more down-to-earth
than he seems.
- Hope you re right.
- Look, I appreciate
your concern,
but I know what I m doing.
- Okay.
But if he hurts you?
He s gonna go
for an ambulance ride
and not in the jump seat.
- Okay, deal.
- Megan, this silent treatment
is getting ridiculous.
Would you please call me back?
I need to talk to you.
It s important.
[sighs]
I love you.
- The Tokyo copies you wanted.
Dude, are you okay?
- Yeah, I m fine.
- You sure?
You don t seem it.
What s the problem?
Maybe I can help.
- All right.
Megan won t return my calls,
and I don t know why.
- She did seem quite distressed
last time I saw her.
- When was that?
- You were locked in this office
with that, uh, Kelly, Kylie...
- Keely?
- That s the one.
She thinks
you re cheating, dude.
- She thinks...
Finn, I would never.
- I know, I know.
- Thanks.
- Anytime, man.
Hey, can I wrangle an invite
to that birthday shindig
of yours?
Guess not.
- We re home!
- Welcome back, boys!
How was your trip?
- Boring.

My favorite tea and biscuits.
You remembered.
Thank you.
What about you, Mister,
are you happy to be back?
- Yeah.
I can t wait to see Lilly again.
- You must really miss her.
You should do something for her.
Something that
only you could do for her.
Something she wouldn t expect.
- The patient had a pre-existing
heart condition.
- Hm. Okay.
Then it looks like
this is everything.

"Alexander s
Million Dollar Donation

They made that donation

off the wait list.
- That s why he gave me
the gift basket.
He already knew I d gotten in.
No.
I refuse to let anyone
buy me into medical school,
especially not Jeff Alexander.
It would make me a hypocrite!
I don t want to be
another Carlton Strand,
taking a place from someone
who actually deserves it.
- I don t know anyone
who deserves
to be a doctor more than you do.
Are you still going to the gala?
- Yeah.
I m going to confront Jeff,

He can t lie to my face, right?
Thanks.
- Have fun.
Oh, you girls look good.
Good to see you.
Have a great time.
Name?

But I gave mine to charity.
Mine had a little...
Ah.
It is my old dress!

- It s the funniest coincidence.
Lilly here chose my dress
that I gave

She s wearing my old dress.
- Excuse me.

Lilly, would you stop?
Good afternoon.

- Yes.
I know about the donation bribe.

Lilly, I make
a lot of donations.
You re gonna have to be
more specific.
- Look, I don t need your bribes
or your charity or your pity!

about? This...
- Someone help!
Call an ambulance!
Help!
- Call 911!
- Out of the way.
Move.
Step back.
Everyone, get back.

What s wrong?

She says our worlds

Can t fix that.
- I remember when I first
came to work for you.
I was so overwhelmed
the first day, I nearly quit.
- I didn t know that.
- But you didn t.
- Yeah, why is that?
- Because I saw
a heartbroken boy.
And I thought I could add
something to your lives
that had nothing to do
with money or fancy cars.
If Lilly is
the right one for you,
she ll find a way
to close the distance.

30.

Mm.
Huh.

- Vince, what s wrong?
- Well,
today s Megan s birthday,
and I ve been going crazy
for the past three days,
trying to get in touch with her.
Think she blocked my number.
Do you know that Finn thinks
that Megan thinks
that I m cheating on her?
- Excuse me.
- Okay.
Now, I am not at liberty
to speak on Megan s behalf...
- Because that s absurd,
all right?
I have never and would never
cheat on Megan.
I...
[breathing deeply]
- Okay.
Okay, come on, sit down.
Come on.
- Now I feel dizzy.
- So you re not cheating?
- No, are you...
Look, I have been planning
a big surprise party
for Megan s birthday tonight.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
Okay, look, all right,
I understand
how my behavior might have
seemed suspicious,
but I was just trying
to keep the party a secret.
- Okay, that makes sense.
But let me ask you something.
Were you going to invite me
to this party?
- Well, I couldn t exactly
mail you an invitation.
I was gonna tell you
at the last minute
so you wouldn t have to
keep the party a secret.
But look,
it doesn t even matter.
There s not going to be a party
once I tell her.
- Leave it to me.
- [sighs] All right.
- What on earth are you doing?
- I m studying for my CSET.
I m gonna ace this thing
and get into UCLA s
education program.
- You re studying
on your birthday?
You re even sadder than I am.
- Also, good news.
According to this,
40 is the new 30.
So I don t have to worry
about turning 30
for another ten years.
- Well, that is good news.
Now go and get ready.

- It s your birthday.
I m taking you out to dinner
to celebrate.

especially after everything that
happened at the gala with Jeff.
- Look, tonight is not about me.
It s about you.
And I won t take no
for an answer.
- Okay, boss.
- All right.
- Going.
- Okay.
Go get dressed.
- Look at us, two single girls
hitting the town.
Is this it?
Are you sure you have
the right address?

Come on, birthday girl.
Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop.
