A Million Little Things (2018–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - I Dare You - full transcript

Previously on "A Million Little Things"...

I can't to lie you. This is your baby.

Sophie and Danny and
Theo... there's just...

It's too much.

- They would never...
- I know.

The baby has to be Jon's.

Anybody at school that you like?

- There is this one person.
- Who is she?

This new kid at school... Ella.

You ever want to tell
me that Ella's a boy,

I'm glad to hear that.



I spent so much time
trying to figure out

why you've done the things you've done,

and I realized what I need to figure out

is why don't I feel like I deserve more.

I can't be your therapist

and your friend at the same time.

That's not how it works.

Okay, wait a minute. Please.

Do... Do you have any idea

what it took for me to come here today?

I-I don't have the courage to
talk to anyone else about it.

Please.

You wanted to enjoy every
moment of life, right?

Here comes some life.



Whoa!

What is with that
thing? Oh, my God, Colin.

Who still has a clock radio anymore?

I do. I've had it
since the seventh grade,

- thank you very much.
- Well, Gary,

you have a phone with
so many ringtones...

- Ah, yes.
- ...and beautiful, twinkly, soothing sounds

- to wake up to.
- Yes.

♪ You can never
know what it's like ♪

- Please don't sing.
- ♪ Your blood like antifreeze ♪

- ♪ Cold as ice ♪
- Your blood like what?

- Antifreeze.
- No, it's not.

It's "blood, like winter,
freezes just like ice."

What? Excuse you.

Blood is not a season.

- It is a liquid...
- No.

- ...kind of like antifreeze.
- Not antifreeze.

Antifreeze doesn't even
freeze. It's in the name.

♪ If you want to know
while I'm standing ♪

Here it comes. ♪ And
don't you know that ♪

- ♪ I'm still standing ♪
- Remind me to never go to karaoke with you.

Remind me not to bring a fact-checker
to a karaoke bar with you.

No! No!

No, no!

Why would you do that to Sir Elton?

Oh, I love Sir Elton.

It is this Rocket Man

that is making me crazy.

Colin, someone is not a morning person.

...another one without
even a card from my father.

That's on you, Susan.

What you let happen is what will happen.

What you let happen

is what will happen.

Ugh, that woman is such a crock.

All she does is oversimplify everything

and then hang up.

Someone should call
her and tell her that.

Maybe you should call
her and tell her that...

That she's a disgrace
to your profession,

- that she's a con artist.
- Eh.

She's like a depressing fortune cookie.

So call. Hey.

What are you waiting for?

You don't have a lot of time left.

Gee, thanks!

Hey, you're the one
who's refusing treatment.

I'm just... I'm employing gallows humor.

Yeah, I would call,

but I don't think it would
be very dignified of me.

Dignified? What do you
care about dignified?

Call her and tell her the truth.

Make her blood run cold like antifreeze.

Oh, no.

Hey.

I dare you.

Well, you know I love a good dare.

I know what else you love!

Where are you going? No!

Rome?

What is this?

You are my life,

and I will not lose you.

Baby?

You... You okay?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

No, you're not fine.

What's wrong?

Just some stomach pain.

I didn't want to say
anything after last night.

Please don't get worried, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Who are you texting?

I'm meeting a friend at
the arcade after school.

Are you asking me or telling me?

- Telling you.
- I can't drive you this afternoon.

I'm sorry, but I'm... I'm busy.

Don't worry. I got it covered.

"Don't know whether to
call it a date or not."

Ah! Seventh grade is so hard!

Uh, "It's not a date.

It's just hanging out
with your friend Elliot."

Gina? Hi!

Hi.

Hi. You okay?

Yeah. Fine. Just...

Rome has a stomach bug,

so I think I should stay here with him.

I'm sorry. I-I don't think
I can go to your ul...

Oh!

Danny, sweetie, I finished
packing your lunch.

Sorry. Was I on speaker?

You were. We're good.

It's... It's fine. I can go by myself.

I just... I really didn't want

you to go to your ultrasound alone.

Don't be upset. It's...

- It's not my first time at the rodeo.
- No, I know,

it's just it's your first
time without Jon, and...

I'm just really woied about Rome.

I'm sure it's just a
stomach thing, right?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

- He'll...
- Are you okay?

Mm-hmm, he'll be fine. Just c-call me

when you're... When you done.

Okay, yeah.

Okay, great. Great.

Colin, what are we gonna do about Danny?

What's wrong with Danny?

He just needs a little help. That's all.

He doesn't want you to
do another one of those

elaborate lemonade stands, does he?

The bamboo straws alone made
it impossible to turn a profit.

I cannot picture you
at a lemonade stand.

It's mortifying.

I'm next. I'm next.

You're next? She's next.

Don't follow me. Stay here.

No! I don't want you making faces at me.

Stop. Stop.

Where are you going?

Cory texted me.

He loved my set last night.

Like, "fist bump emojis" loved.

Of course he did 'cause you're the man.

- I am.
- Who's the man?

- I'm the man, right?
- That right. Yeah.

I'm gonna go to the club,
see if I can bump into him.

- Get him. Do it.
- I'm on!

Whoa, what? This is
it! This could be epic.

Do yourself a favor and get to your car.

Ha! It's show time.

You, remember, she's kidding.

Okay? Just a fake question...

to get her on the show.

Hello, Margaret.

You're on with Dr. Stacy.

- Margaret?
- Yes, hi, Dr. Stacy.

That's... That's coming back.

Um, so, I have a bit of a dog issue.

It's not that I don't like dogs. It's...

It's just that I don't like his dog.

- Like I said, kidding.
- Um, he climbs

- in the bed with us. Bleh.
- You guys have spooned.

- Maybe you're mad at your boyfriend, Margaret.
- Ooh, "boyfriend."

- Did you hear that?
- And you're taking it out on his dog.

Because that's what it is.
That's what you call it.

"Boyfriend," that's
great. Um, first of all,

who said anything about a boyfriend?

How do you know that we're not just

"the word you can't say
on the radio" buddies?

Are you asking him to
give up his dog for you?

My God, that is so glib.

You... Okay, you do not know anything

about me or my friend or his dog.

What if I told you
that my friend is blind?

Blind?

Is he?

No.

Okay. Well, excuse me,

but I don't think
this is why you called.

Oh, great, okay, excellent.

Please, tell me, why did I call?

I'm saying this has
nothing to do with the dog!

You're afraid to fully give
yourself to this relationship.

- Ooh.
- That's your professional opinion?

You could fit that in a fortune cookie,

okay, lady? You know,
y-you're telling me

that it's my fault that...

That... that I have intimacy issues?

That is... Oh, my...
Do you know what you do?

You jump to conclusions,

and you shame people in
between toilet-paper ads.

What kind of...

Wha...

Uh, she cut you off at "fortune cookie."

Oh.

That wasn't as fun as
I thought it would be.

No?

Maybe it's because she hit
a little too close to home?

Hm?

- Just saying.
- I'm not talking about this anymore,

and, by the way, you...

...are it.

- I'm it?
- Yeah.

Oh, you didn't think you could dare me

and not get dared back, did you?

A dare game?

- Yeah.
- Is that what this is?

It is now.

It's your turn to seize the day.

And, uh, how exactly do I do that?

Oh, you are going

to check your text messages.

And while you're at it,

pick out a ringtone
for tomorrow morning.

You're kidding me.

And I want a picture!

Carter, your standing
desk finally arrived.

Well, you know what they say...

Sitting is the new smoking.

Are we loving it yet?

It's a lot.

- I believe in you.
- I wish you were my father.

Well, look what arrived.

- Hunter.
- Looks great.

Make me an offer.

- She busy?
- Ah, she's swamped, but go on in.

Go on in.

Hey, I don't want to alarm you,

but Carter said
sitting's the new smoking.

Carter's back to his
old desk by Wednesday.

You want the over or the under?

Ooh, tough call.

How long did he keep the core ball?

Four business days.

But it took him two to inflate it.

Uh, hey, Henry called.

He wants us both working
on the City Planner case.

Well, he could put four lawyers on it.

- It's a losing case.
- Yeah, they were overbudget,

there's clear negligence,

and a paper trail a mile long.

Take a look at my motion.

I think we can get the
judge to throw it out.

You're unbelievable.

You know, when you win this case,

Henry's gonna make you a partner.

Might even buy you a standingMiesk.

Hey, it's Rome.

I'm sorry to bother you, but, uh,

I'm in a lot of pain.

What's going on?

No, no, not that kind of pain.

Physical pain. Physical pain.

It's kind of all over,
but mostly in my stomach.

You think the meds might be causing it?

Uh, th... that's highly unlikely.

Anti-depressants aren't really linked

to any kind of...

Oh...

Oh! God!

Rome. Rome?

Rome!

- What's happening?
- Hello?

Rome, what... what's going on?

Rome! Hello?

Hello? H-Hello?

Who's this? Hello?

Who is this? Ma...

Maggie?

Hel-Hello?

Yeah, Gina, Gina, what's
going on over there?

I don't... I don't know.
Something is wrong with Rome.

I d... I don't... I
don't know what to do.

- It's really bad.
- Gina, listen to me.

You need to take him to Boston General.

- I'll meet you there, all right?
- Okay, okay.

Baby, we got to go.

Hey, kid.

Yes.

How about some lemonade, huh?

Forget about the sign.
It's... It's free.

Forget about the lemonade.

All I need is a picture
for my non-girlfriend.

Here, will you just take... take one?

Oh, come on. What, that sounded weird?

I'm s... Come back.

Kid, don't go.

Oh, God.

Oh, hello, Margaret.

Look, I don't have a good
picture yet, all right?

A selfie's not gonna capture

the insanity of what
I'm dealing with here.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Allergies?

No. Yes. Uh, Penicillin.

Any recent hospitalizations?

No.

Medications?

He's on anti-depressants.

Who prescribed them again?

Dr. Heller.

Um, Sertraline.

Two times a day.

He tried to take his own life.

A while ago, I mean.

Have you taken anything recently
that might have caused...

No, no.

Have you still been
having these feelings?

Excuse me, ma'am, could
I speak to him alone?

But he's my...

Okay.

Regina. Hey.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Where is he?
- He's in... in there, I think.

They, uh, asked me to leave.

Hey, I'm sure they're...
They're taking good care of him,

You know, that's
standard. They're just...

trying to make sure that
the patient can speak openly.

Rome tried to kill himself.

Is that... why he's here?

No, before.

I see.

I'm so sorry, Gina.

- Excuse me, Mrs. Howard.
- Yeah.

The doctor would like to
order activated charcoal,

and we're hoping...
- - I'm sorry.

It can absorb drugs in the gut.

We typically don't pump
your stomach anymore.

- Oh, my God.
- Do you think that he took something?

He insists he didn't,
but he's in a lot of pain,

and his history suggests

we should err on the side of caution.

He's refusing right now.

You're his wife,

and we'd like your
permission to be able to...

What... What... What... Mine, why?

It's Massachusetts state law.

If there's a suspicion of overdose

- and he's a danger to himself...
- Can you say with certainty

he didn't ingest anything dangerous?

I-I don't know.

I only found out last
night that he tried...

...to ki...

Um...

He was in the bathroom this morning.

He doubled over in pain, so...

uh...

Just do what you have to do, okay?

Please help him. Okay?

It's okay. Yeah.

- Hello?
- Eddie, hey, man.

- It's Cory.
- Hey, Cory, yeah,

I got your fist bumps.

Uh, sorry, I was gonna stop
by, but something came up.

Oh, it's cool. It's cool.

Hey, it was really nice
seeing you up there again.

Yeah, it was great being up there.

- Listen, that first song, you write that?
- Yeah, uh,

writing was unexpected,

so I called it "Unexpected."

I was just thinking your song,

it could be huge, man.

I just keep hearing, uh,

KC's voice singing that bridge.

KC?

Yeah, he wants to record it.

Wow. Uh...

This could be big for you, man.

Yeah, but...

Cory, this is my song.

- I wrote it.
- Exactly.

You could make a lot
of money selling songs.

KC is on the verge.

Okay, here's the deal.

I don't know how, but...

I got up on that stage last
night, and I had a blast.

You can tell KC he
can write his own song.

I got more important things
to worry about right now.

My God, this is disgusting.

I can't drink any more of this.

I am telling you, it looks
and tastel like driveway.

I'm sorry, dude. You're drinking it.

- Let's go.
- No, I'm begging you.

Seriously, I'm literally begging you.

Just dump it in the toilet.

You're not the boss of you anymore.

- Says who?
- According to this chart,

Regina.

Hey. Guys, what's going on?

Tell me. What is that?

- What is that? Is that charcoal?
- Room-temp lava.

I knew a guy... Sax player.

Took so much molly once, he...

Whoa, no. Dude, did
you do something stupid?

- Dude, did he...
- No, no, man, no. This is ridiculous.

I can't believe Gina's
making me do that.

Really? I can.

You tried to kill yourself, dude.

Maybe if you'd told her that
before she found your note,

she'd be more inclined to
believe you when you say things

and not in the waiting
room, scared out of her mind.

So, bottom's up.

Rome, I swear, I will pin
you down like I pin Colin down

to give him his doggy arthritis...

Ooh...

God.

What is wrong with him, anyway?

I don't know. Just, like, some kind of,

- like, stomach pain, man.
- It's a kidney stone, okay?

I'm telling you. I've had one myself.

It's the worst pain I've had in my life,

but too bad. Doctor's orders.

- Drink up.
- I hate the both of you.

- Just do it.
- I really do.

- I hate you both.
- Imagine it's chocolate milk.

You... You pretend it's chocolate milk.

- Here, take it.
- You pretend you're not a big, bald baby.

How about that?

- Who's our big boy? Yeah.
- Attaboy.

Okay, finished it.

Ah! See anything? Huh?

- You happy?
- I'm happy.

He's gonna be okay.

- Right?
- Yeah.

Regina, I've been talking to him.

Not as a therapist because
if I was his therapist,

I couldn't be telling
you this, but as a friend.

He came to me after Jon's funeral,

and I couldn't turn him away.

Wait.

Talking to him about what?

About everything.

Uh...

I'm the one that referred
him to Dr. Heller.

He's been trying so hard to get better,

and I have been holding my
breath waiting for you to know

because as much as I hope
I've been helping him,

I know that the person he
really needs to talk to is you.

I'm so sorry, Gina.

Look, I understand if you're angry.

The thing is, I don't
have time to be angry

because I need to use all of my energy

to make sure that my
husband is gonna be okay.

It's just an amazing...

...noodle place, dude.
I've been there twice.

I've done takeout so many times

I know the delivery guy's name is Mako.

- Why are you telling me this?
- I am trying to distract you.

- It ain't working.
- Well, that's on you.

Oh, God. Did Eddie go to find Gina?

Yeah.

I need to talk to her, man.

How could he tell Maggie
and not his own wife?

What does that say about us?

Jon didn't talk to me at all.

You're asking the wrong person.

He drank it all.

Seems okay.

Said he wanted to talk to you.

Okay.

You should go.

What's more important than this?

Your ultrasound.

Go.

Thanks, Eddie.

She's right.

These screenings are
important. You should go.

I'll take you.

It's not just in my stomach, you know?

It's... It's like all over.

I'm telling you, it is a kidney stone.

Or you're pregnant
and the baby's breech.

Don't make me laugh, please.

Ah!

I was beginning to feel better
about everything, you know?

Not great,

but better.

I promise you

I didn't need to drink that charcoal.

- I just did that for Gina.
- I know.

I don't want to die.

Okay, I'm gonna leave you guys to it.

You look uncomfortable.

I wonder why.

You should leave.

I don't think you should be here.

This...

This can't be our baby.

Delilah,

if you and I at least can't
be honest about this...

...I think that I will go crazy.

Delilah. Hi.

I'm Dr. Mathers.

Dr. Cohen was called
out for a delivery today,

so I'll be seeing you.

Okay.

Number seven! Pho!

What I can't believe is that

we were keeping the same
secret wabout the same pern

while we were having sex twice a day.

I don't think that Dr. Stacy

would be very happy with me.

Oh, are you kidding, Margaret?

Talking to Rome... Far more professional

than anything that
charlatan does all day.

I mean...

admitting that you're crazy
about your non-boyfriend,

I could have told you that one.

The only thing I am crazy about

- is this ramen.
- It's insane.

- Ah!
- It's insane.

- God!
- These are the best noodles I've ever slurped

in my fricking life.

Yes?

You were right. They
just did an ultrasound.

- It is a kidney stone.
- I knew it. I mean,

I'm not board certified
or anything, but I knew it.

- Is that him?
- Y-Yeah.

He's just trying to pee it out.

Well, I'm with Maggie, and
I will tell her everything.

Oh, she probably already knows.

Oh, God!

Tell her... it's okay.

I'm... I'm not mad at her.

What? What's going on?

It's a stone.

And she's not mad at you.

So, it's all good.

Babe. Babe, who is it?

- Your therapist.
- Dr. Heller?

Nope. The one that's my friend.

I know I handled it in
the worst way possible,

but we were just talking.

Now they're just talking to each other.

It's not that you were talking to her.

It's that you weren't talking to me.

I know, but...

Gina, if I'd have told it to you,

it would have made it too real.

Oh, God!

- Oh, my.
- Yeah.

Oh, God!

Well, it sounds like he's making
some real progress over there.

Yeah. His best day ever.

Ooh-hoo-hoo!

Rome?

Rome?

I think he just passed it. I have to go.

Do you need me to come in?

Hey.

It came out.

You want to see it? It's so small.

How could something so
small cause so much pain?

Don't ush it. They want you to save it.

Are you crazy? That thing's
going straight to the harbor.

I don't want to see that thing again.

I so sorry, babe.

I am sorry for everything, Gina.

I know.

They're gonna be okay.

It's gonna take a little time.

Mm-hmm.

You're it, by the way.

What? No.

I didn't see a pic.

No, no, no. No pics.

Look, I did it.

You know I did it. It was weird.

No! A picture... That was the deal.

And if there is anything
that you and I know about,

it's a deal.

I'm not doing another lemonade stand.

Number 7!

You called into the radio,

I scared a small child. We're square.

Number 24!

Ugh, enough with the microphone.

Number 24!

I have a good idea.

I dare you to go steal her mic

and sing "I'm Still Standing."

Your version,

wrong lyrics and all.

Go on, Rocket Man. What
are you waiting for?

Hey, I don't have that
much time left, remember?

Number 27!

What are you so afraid of?

Perhaps you've forgotten...

I'm only scared of heights
and public bathrooms.

Oh, get up, 'cause
you're coming with me.

- No, I'm not.
- Oh, no,

this is a duet

because I dare you to sing backup.

Come on. That's right.
We're in this together.

Uh, pardon me.

- I, uh... I ordered the microphone.
- Excuse me?

Don't you know the
customer is always right?

That little flutter is the heartbeat.

It looks like a butterfly.

Would you like to hear it?

The heartbeat?

Can we?

We can arrange that.

Heartbeat's perfectly normal.

I'm sorry.

I need a minute.

Dads are always emotional.

- That's a winner.
- Yeah.

- Thank you.
- Take care, guys.

All right, well,

technically, now you're it.

Stop. Can we just enjoy
our 15 minutes, please?

All right, we were
fierce. I'll give you that.

Whoa, what is that?

- Oh, it's a bruise.
- Did I do that?

- I know I can get a little rowdy...
- Oh, no, no, no.

It was just... uh... It's
been there for a few days.

I'm gonna bruise more easily.

It's, you know,... The
disease messes with your blood.

I know what it does.

- This is really happening, isn't it?
- Hey,

Gary, I feel fine.

- Okay.
- Come on. Don't go soft o me.

We have a deal.

You know, I dare you
to show the world...

I don't feel like it.

I dare you

to show the world that
you are not afraid...

of anything.

How do I do that?

I don't know.

You're gonna have to figure that out.

Cute kid.

Could definitely use some arms and legs,

but give him some time.

I'm so sorry, Eddie.

- May-Maybe...
- Don't be.

This is amazing.

And I just want what's best for you.

Pretending you're not the father,

I know it's unbearable.

It's got to be the hardest
thing I've ever done in my life.

But sometimes you don't get to do...

the fun thing, the thing
that makes you happy.

You have to do the right thing.

I'm gonna say this,

and I'll never say it again.

Whatever we did, whatever happened...

...we also created a life.

- I want to snuggle...
- I want to marry...

Look at...

Hey.

Eddie!

You want a beer?

Oh, that's right.

You don't drink. He doesn't drink.

So, you gonna sell me
that song or what, man?

'Cause it's a pretty good song.

- Yeah, I am.
- You are?

You're lucky.

You caught me on the exact right day.

Great, 'cause I want to screw with it

just a little bit. I mean,

I think the bridge definitely needs

a little somethin' somethin', right?

- Yeah. Do whatever you want.
- My man.

- Yeah.
- Hey, thank you. Seriously, bro.

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

Hey.

Yeah, listen...

You know what? You might
make it big one day.

But I suggest you put down that bottle.

Because you don't want
to end up like me...

Forced to sell a great song to...

someone like you.

Thanks, man.

All signed out and good to go.

We can go home.

Let's go home.

I'm glad you're better,

but I'm still playing catch up, okay.

I just found out about all this today,

and apparently, everyone
else already knew.

I don't know what I
would do without you.

You know that, right?

- Really?
- Yeah.

How was I there for you?

I didn't even know what was going on.

Gina, if it wasn't for you,

I would have been dead a long time ago.

The scary thing is, I believe that.

I want you to get beer.
I want us to be better.

I-I-I know that you love me,

and I love you, too, baby, but I...

Right now, I need to
figure out who we are

because I don't know anymore.

Can you tell I'm nervous?

No.

It's perfectly normal to
change your shirt 15 times

before going to play video games.

I really like him.

A lot.

You know what Dad would say?

"You have to play life on your terms."

Yeah, well, he'd be right.

Collar up or down?

Up. It's very "Risky Business."

Wait in the car.

"Risky Business." It... Did I see that?

Why do we bother with Movie Night

if you're just gonna fall asleep?

Wow. You built the Taj Mahal
in less than a week, honey.

I still have one spire left,

and Dad didn't help me one iota.

How was swimming?

Wet, but fun.

Are you still in your bathing suit?

- Maybe...
- Hey, have her call me

as soon as she settles the LEGO case.

Okay, I have to go, honey.

I'll call you later to say good night.

Okay. Bye, Mommy. I love you.

I love you, too.

What did Hunter want?

Mm, probably just to look at you,

but the excuse was these documents.

You think he likes me?

No, I know he likes you.

I'm flattered, but I have
other things to worry about.

No one's asking you to worry.

It's actually in the fun
section of the program.

Uh, between work and
Theo, I'm too busy for fun.

Great motto, but before you
shell out money for that tattoo,

can I just offer some
unsolicited advice?

When is it ever solicited?

The best way to take care of Theo

is to show him how to live a full life.

You can't worry so much about tomorrow

that you forget to live for today.

- Be here.
- I am here,

- and I'm working.
- Oh, boy.

I meant be here, as in be present

in the large, interconnected
sense of the moment.

Lady, you need to bone up on your Zen.

I see you thinking about it.

- You sure she's coming?
- She's coming.

I don't want to be late.

Does she like what you like?

Elliot and I like all the same things.

Pretty much.

We disagree over some stuff.

- Like what?
- Grown-up stuff.

Why don't you worry about your own date?

- I thought it wasn't...
- It's not a date.

It's not.

She's here.

Okay, get back in the car.

- Good luck.
- Watch and learn, kid.

Good luck.

I hope this is worth the trip.

- Oh, it'll be worth it.
- I'll be the judge of that.

I've done something crazy.

Oh, what, parking illegally?

Hi, Danny!

Ooh, alleyway.

Mmm... nice.

Okay, look up.

Where?

Oh!

That...

is 15 stories,

165 feet, give or take
a recessed ceiling.

It scared the hell out of me.

It also happens to be very illegal.

Criminal Code Section 126A...
Anyone who intentionally,

willfully, or wantonly paint...

I love it.

Well, I did it all for you.

It's pretty amazing, isn't it?

Oh, wait, you're the one

- who's supposed to say that.
- It's perfect.

It is exactly what I want the
time I have left to feel like.

"I was here, damn it, until I wasn't."

Thank you.

All right, it's your turn.

Dare me to do anything,

and make it really hard

because you outdid yourself.

I dare you to get chemo.

- What are you doing, Gary?
- You said make it really hard.

No, don't. Don't do that.

- That's not fair.
- None of this is fair.

That's the whole point, right?

I mean, you don't deserve to die.

Game's over. I'm... I'm done playing.

Okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- I-I take it back.
- No, you can't.

We made a deal, and I was very clear

about what I needed from you.

- Look, I saw the bruise.
- Okay, so what?

It's a bruise!

What... What are you gonna
do when it gets really bad,

when I have sores all over my body

and I lose half my weight?

That doesn't have to
happen, and I know it.

So, I'm sorry. Th-Th-That's
the way that I feel.

Well, I don't want you to feel that!

I don't want you to feel anything!

Just...

accept what's happening.

That is the whole point.

I'm sorry. That... That's up to me.

Okay?

Dr. Stacy was right.

You...

You're so scared.

Of course, I am.

I thought you, of all
people, understood that.

I can't expect you to do this.

You're sure this kid
knows to meet you here?

Yeah. We texted like 10 times.

He's not coming.

Do you think he doesn't like me?

I don't know.

Relationships are complicated, pal.

Men and women, men and men,

boys and boys, it...

It's not worth the hassle.

She didn't like your graffiti, huh?

She did like the graffiti.

She didn't like what I said afterwards.

You know what life's really about?

- I'm 12.
- Friendship.

You and me.

Right here, dude.

Yeah. Us.

That's what it's about.

Oh.

What's up?

Ahh!

- Hi.
- Hey.

- I'm Elliot.
- I know who you are, kid.

- It's good to meet you.
- It's good to meet you, too.

Okay, let's go.

Okay.

You want to go on a
date with me sometime?

A date?

Yeah.

Maybe.

You should probably know...

...I'm married.

Really?

Well, I am, too.

My name's Rome, by the way.

Regina.

Nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you, too.

Hey, Uncle Gary.

You want to play with us?

- Oh...
- This place is awesome.

It's awesome.

Okay, well,

prepare to be crushed in "Frogger."

- We'll see about that.
- Will we, then? Okay.

- We'll see about that.
- Okay.

Pretty good, huh?

- It's not bad.
- Oh, well, thank you.

Quite a compliment, coming from you.

Dinner's in 10 minutes.

You're really not gonna tell
me anything about the arcade?

Did you have fun, at least?

Yeah.

We played video games, obviously.

Obviously.

Hey, Mom?

Mm-hmm? What?

It's, uh...

What are you looking at?

Baby pictures of you guys.

These rollies.

Why?

Because, I...

just love remembering my babies.

Mom! Come on. Stop it.

What, did you put product in your hair?

- No.
- What is happening?

- I don't know.
- Oh!

- What?
- You're blushing.

- No, I'm not.
- Yes, you are.

Hi.

Uh, we just came in for a bite.

Seems like a good dude.

We're working on a case together.

Well, I hope you win.

You deserve to be happy, Katherine.

I would rather keep the
life that I have right now...

...than waste it

fighting for a future that
I probably won't even get.
