Getting On (2013–2015): Season 1, Episode 5 - Nightshift - full transcript
Crap.
I love these...
I just hate having
to unwrap each one.
Mrs. Abbot. Dr. Cho finally faxed
his approval for your sleeping pill.
It's a Trazodone.
You want to wake up
and take your sleeping pill?
Season 1, Episode 5
"Nightshift"
My mama goes down
to her lawyer,
walks away with a check
for $50,000.
Won a lawsuit.
I lent her $5,000 once.
You think I'mma see it?
Hardly.
No. No no, you can't go.
If you go, then who's
gonna look after Maria?
No, I can't come and get her.
I'm at work.
No, I can't.
Adam, darn it,
just... fine.
Um, I'm so sorry, but it's an emergency
and there's no one else to babysit her.
No, go get your life straightened out.
It's a quiet night.
Thank you.
Yeah, I just lost another graveyarder.
Can you send someone else?
No, I'm not in a rush.
Why don't you get out of
here and get yourself
a couple hours of real sleep, you know?
- I'll call you if there are any changes.
- Oh gosh, no.
- You sure?
- Okay. Thank you.
All right.
I'm out of here.
Yeah. Actually, we do have
a free bed.
Have Antoine
bring her over.
Okay, bye-bye.
She's on the night shift.
There's your girl.
♪ Gonna be some
sweet sound ♪
♪ Coming down
On the night shift.
You know that's right. Better than going
nuts in the nuthouse during the day.
That's for sure.
All right, this young lady is Ingrid
Larsen, on vacation from Sweden.
She was admitted for sunstroke, but then
they gave her a stress test and angiogram,
and now she's here to stay with you until
she gets a bypass and a stent on Tuesday.
Oh, what a horrible vacation.
I usually just get diarrhea.
I'm Nurse Ortley and
I'm pleased to meet you.
Disneyland.
...Go to Knott's Berry Farm.
No no, honey. You've got to be quiet.
Everybody's sleeping.
Nobody's gonna
take your bra.
No, I'm not gonna frisk you. I've just
got to get you over here, okay?
I'm gonna need you...
I'm gonna lay you back.
This is gonna be your
bed till Tuesday, okay?
Your hair is pretty.
Come on.
- You good?
- Yeah.
Okay.
A doctor, yes.
- A big doctor hit you in the stomach?
- Yoo-hoo! Hello?
Okay, I'm gonna
be right back.
- Coming.
- Honey, honey.
- Yes, Miss Birdy?
- Could I please have a glass of water?
Yes, ma'am. It's empty. I'm gonna go
refill this and I'll be right back, okay?
- All right.
- Nurse?
- What is it, Sissy?
- My arm is throbbing.
Oh gosh. Okay.
Let me see.
Phyllis?
I need to change
your IV line.
- Phyllis?
- I'll be right back, okay?
Oh, no no no. No no
no no, Mrs. Sullivan.
You have to stay
in the bed, okay?
Let's get back in here.
It's okay.
She'll be back. It's okay.
You know what? Here's her sweater.
How about that? You want
to hold onto her sweater?
I want Darcy.
Okay, ma'am.
The cat ain't here.
Here's his picture.
Okay?
You gotta stay in this bed.
Don't climb back out.
How are things going
on getting me someone?
Yeah, or just an agency nurse.
I mean, anyone.
- I want Darcy.
- Yeah, 'cause I could sure use the help.
Oh my God.
How long has she
been like this?
- I don't know.
- Well, what does "I don't know" mean?
I was just with her.
I don't know.
Get another pole. We need
to start another line.
- Has she had surgery recently?
- She had a colon re-section last week.
- This is not good.
- No shit, Sherlock.
Sissy Bowler.
No no no. Bo-Bowler.
Bowler with a "B."
No sir. Sir, you did her
colon re-section last week.
Hell... Dr. Stickley?
Hello?
I don't know why you felt like you
couldn't just wait in the car.
I'm gonna be two minutes.
I don't know why you're so angry.
He didn't know.
Yes, he did know, Richard.
You were wildly inappropriate.
If you have something on your mind,
just go ahead and say it.
There's nothing
on my mind.
It's just it was
an important dinner to me.
I desperately want
that Cleveland job.
Hector Rabinowitz
is not some idiot,
and you wouldn't stop talking
about my pubic hair.
- He didn't know.
- Yes, he knew.
All I said was we had a huge overgrown
bush in desperate need of trimming.
He thought we were
talking about topiary.
It wasn't funny then,
it's not funny now.
So now that we're here, sit down.
I'll take a look at your foot.
This closet
is your office?
- Tiny lot a little dump, isn't it?
- Yes, it is. Give me your foot.
Ow. Oh, for heaven sakes, Richard.
How could you let it get this ingrown?
- I packed it with cotton.
- Well, I can't do this at home.
I have to do it here. I have to
get my instruments of torture.
I have to resection the nail
bed back to the matrix.
Ooh, Dr. James.
I'm glad you're here.
No no! Jenna, Jenna!
Jenna, come on. J.J., come on.
- Dr. James...
- Nurse Ortley, just ignore us.
My husband and I were out to
dinner, he has an ingrown toenail.
Don't open the door and let him
out no matter how much he begs.
Sissy Bowler is in trouble. She's bleeding
badly. Could you take a look at her?
Yeah. She's Dr. Stickley's
patient, right?
- Did you call him?
- Yes, I think he's drunk.
Is the whole world
drunk tonight?
All right.
Excuse me.
Okay, it's post-operative
hypovolemic shock. You...
Yvonne. Yes, please, can you call
the blood bank? Order six units.
Infuse a liter of Ringer's
lactate in the meantime.
- Got it. Right away.
- Would you please, Raul?
Could you recheck
her warfarin levels?
- Yeah, sure.
- Right away.
- Has an endoscopy been set up?
- No.
Okay, do that as well
for me, please.
- Yep.
- Immediately.
I'm on it.
Has Gastroenterology
been to see her yet?
- No, I called. He's coming.
- Okay.
Call the hospital
as well and alert them
we may have a bounce-back
headed their way.
Bed one is Ingrid Larsen,
visiting from Sweden.
They found
some heart issues.
Welcome to our country,
Ingrid Larsen.
She doesn't
speak English.
Now her son does,
but I can't find him.
Well, I mean, I know
"smorgasbord" and "pepparkakor."
Pepparkakor, a special holiday treat?
Pepparkakor cookies...?
All right. I don't speak Swedish.
I speak a little bit of German.
Do you speak German by any chance?
Willkommen?
- Valkommen.
- So is that Swedish?
See that's very close, so I think
that German might be our best bet.
Yeah...
- Hi.
- Hi...
Hey, you're the one whose husband did
the cement in our driveway, right?
Yeah, I'm...
I'm that one.
Thanks. Darnell appreciated
the work and so did I.
He did a fine job.
No, hey, wait.
Can... can you...
can you let me out?
- Mmm, I don't... I don't think so.
- Come on, please?
Please?
I... I can't breathe in here.
I'm having a medical emergency
from the junk and the mold.
Look, my wife locked me up
because I drank too much,
and I have a big mouth and she's
afraid I'm gonna say something
and embarrass her.
But I won't, I promise.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hey, you wanna know
what we were arguing about?
- No sir, I do not.
- All right, fair enough.
Oh good good good.
You've got someone.
Okay, great.
Thank you.
- Hi.
- Dawn?
- Dawn, what... what are you doing here?
- Oh, the agency just called.
I just... I've been doing
some moonlighting.
- I need the extra cash, but it's okay.
- Dawn, what...
It's okay. God,
Patsy's a complete asshole.
- Dawn.
- He's such an asshole.
- You're drunk, aren't you?
- Okay, we went out,
and he says he wants to be
with me, but not like that.
- Do you know what I mean?
- Shh. Hey.
- You should go home.
- So what is that?
- "What is that?" is what I wanna know.
- Okay, you should go home.
'Cause I wan... I wanna know.
I wanted to know.
- I want you to go home.
- It's not fair.
You know what? I must matter to him
because he talks to me all the t...
- Oh oh oh oh oh oh. Okay.
- He talks to me all the time.
- Okay, come here.
- He wouldn't do that if I didn't matter.
- Sit down. Sit down. Sit...
- I'm fine. I'm fine. Okay.
Down!
- I'll just... I'll get my uniform.
- No. No.
No. I don't need you
to help me do that.
- He does love me. He said he loves me...
- Sit. Sit down.
But he doesn't love me.
What he said is that he's not in love
with me, but that he sort of loves me.
- I'ma call a ca...
- This was like 15 minutes ago.
Okay, Dawn.
- Don't show anybody that.
- Do you know what it is?
- Don't show anybody that.
- Do you know it?
- Okay, no. Stop.
- I wish it was a scratch and sniff.
- Stop.
- So you could smell it.
I mean, if he didn't like me,
then why would he even talk to me?
I mean, he wouldn't talk
to me, would he?
You're gonna
wake everybody up.
I got a lot
of work to do, okay?
Right now
Sissy Bowler bled out.
- I got... I got...
- Oh God, I love Mrs. Bowler.
- Yeah, me too.
- You can't save everyone.
- Okay. Okay.
- You can't.
I'll do it.
I can help.
- No no no. No no no.
- Let me get my... no, I'll do it.
- You don't...
- Sit down. I am in charge of you tonight.
No, I am in charge, 'cause
I'm the head nurse.
- No, dear. No, I am your boss tonight.
- But I'm in charge.
You're an agency nurse tonight.
I'm your boss. I'm on staff here.
You're very
funny.
- Dawn...
- Who's that?
- Dr. James.
- What is she doing here?
Talking about some pepper-cocksucker
cookies or something.
Her husband's over there.
I could really use
something to eat...
Okay, let me do that.
...then I will be a-okay.
- Okay, let me get you something.
- Ready to rock.
What part of "I'll do it"
don't you understand?
- I'll do it.
- Yeah.
Must be
something to eat.
Okay, I'm gonna get you some
coffee and you're gonna drink it.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
You just... you gotta stop being
consumed by all of this.
- I know. Yeah.
- Let him fly away.
If it's meant to be,
you know, he'll come back.
My mama always say you can't keep
a man who don't wanna be kept.
And all this crying
and wai...
Shoot.
Oh Jesus.
Okay, everything is squared away with
Mrs. Bowler and with the Swedish woman.
- Is that Dawn?
- Uh-huh, yeah, umm, yeah.
- What's she doing here?
- Uh, saying hi.
- Oh, look, there she goes.
- She's so strong and fit.
She's like someone's
lovely Swedish nana.
She needs a tight little bun.
- Hey.
- You let him out.
I've gotten rid of four
long-extinct monitors.
No no no no. No, Richard,
don't mess with my mess.
I'm about to take all that pile
of detritus next to you desk.
I don't want
you cleaning out my office.
What is going on with you tonight?
Get off that foot.
You'll get that
even more infected. Oh!
Clearly you need
a little booty.
Nurse, would you mind
getting him a little booty?
Jenna, your office doesn't have
to be some dank stinkhole.
You don't have to try
to prove some point.
- Stay stay.
- Well, maybe it suits me just fine.
All right? Everybody says that
women are vain about shoes,
but men are too,
just as much.
And to the detriment of all of
our toes... male and female.
Just admit that
you wear a size 13.
Oh my.
She is very agile.
My good God.
How are you able
to do that at your age?
Do you practice?
Do you eat chicken?
Or duck and herring?
Salmon? Some sort of fish roe?
You don't know what I'm saying.
I'm going to make you
a famous research subject.
More famous even
than Sabina Spielrein.
May I do
a quick examination?
Hey, Dawn.
- Hey, Richard.
- Hey.
- I won your museum basket, you know.
- I heard.
Hey, is...
is Jenna ever happy here?
I don't know.
I can't get this timer to work.
I'm trying
to do three minutes.
- This just doesn't work.
- All right, here here here.
You gonna do it?
Richard, when a guy says...
How can you love someone
but not be in love with them?
- Who are we talking about?
- Maybe that is none of your business.
- Well, it is now.
- I just don't understand.
Oh, Dawn.
You know he told me
that he doesn't love me.
I'm gonna just
borrow this for...
That's what he said.
But then he says that it's like...
That it's... yes, it's all
on and-and he loves me,
and then it's fucking not.
I mean it's just off.
You know? It's like all these...
all these women in here,
who have
no one in the world,
they have no children,
they have no husbands
and I just do not want to eat
dinner by myself forever.
- I just... I don't want to be alone.
- Shh.
You got your ponytail and your whatnot,
somebody's gonna appreciate all that.
I happen to think
I'm very attractive,
and there's a lot of people
who would agree with that.
Hello!
- Shh shh shh! Calm down, Miss Birdy.
- Anybody there?
Stop shouting.
What do you need?
Can I have
a glass of water?
Oh! I'm so sorry, okay?
- I got it. I got it, Didi.
- I'm gonna get it for you in one sec.
- I got it.
- No no no no. No no no.
You are not even
on duty right now.
I can get a fucking glass of water.
Jesus, Didi.
- Extended Care.
- How are you doing tonight?
Very good.
Oh, hold on a sec. Sorry.
Bye-bye.
Didi, he texted.
He said, "Do you have
my credit card?"
What do you think that means?
I'm gonna text him back.
No no no. No no no no no. Not
on the floor you're not.
Why?
He's still up, isn't he?
- You need to go home, Dawn.
- Fine, I'm going.
- Go home, Dawn. I'm going.
- Fine, I'm going.
Oh good, you got your water.
Patsy, it's me. I know you're there,
because you just texted me.
So I'm just
getting back to you.
I know, um...
Listen, I know
you're gay, bi or whatever,
but I just...
I wanted to say something...
Because maybe we could try
for a baby, because I love you.
I'd really like
to have your baby.
Okay. Bye.
She's 87.
She has the vigor
of an 18-year-old.
She may need a stent,
but she's in here...
she's doing kips and pike layouts
like an Olympic gymnast.
This is a major
major discovery.
Jenna, come on, I'm tired.
I wanna go home now.
Honey, honey, honey, this is major.
There are so many queries
and studies being done right
now on obesity and diabetes
and genes versus behavior.
And here I have Patient Zero of Nordic
fitness falling right into my lap.
- This is an unbelievable opportunity.
- Honey. Come on.
Honey, please, I just
need to make one quick call.
What's going on here?
- Has she been drinking?
- A little.
Nurse Forchette,
I want you off the floor.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- Right now.
- Even socially.
- Mm-hmm.
Hey, Dawn, tell me... where do
you keep the electric shavers?
- Richard...
- What for?
Don't they have to shave the
women's pubis before surgery?
Yeah, they do that
over in the hospital.
I did that once
when I worked in OR.
I don't know why you are so
utterly obsessed with this.
J.J., I'm just joking.
J.J., come on.
I did some pre-op
catheterization too,
and what I really remember is all
the different types of penises.
- Dawn...
- But you just gotta do...
You just do your job.
That's what I do.
Poor Mrs. Bowler.
- Hello?
- Hello?
Oh, Hector.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I thought it would go
straight to voice-mail.
- It's Jenna, Jenna James.
- Uh-huh.
I'm sorry to call so late, but we were
having such a lovely dinner earlier.
And here we have the perfect specimen, yes?
What are the odds?
We form a control group
around her,
study osteo-densities.
The sky is the limit.
Here's what I'm thinking.
Okay, if her matriarchal line
exhibits the same chromosomal makeup
without significant deviation...
Just think of the spectacular statistical
results that we could achieve.
Yeah, may I speak
to Kevin, please?
Kevin, it's Dawn.
I picked up an extra shift, so I'm
down on one, if you wanna drop by.
It's Dawn.
As luck would have it, she's
having a stent put in on Tuesday.
So what I need to do is keep everything
disentangled from Mount Palms,
because everything becomes
just so proprietary.
Hector, it's worse than that.
They've drunk the Kool-Aid.
They are so enamored of all the
trivial bells and whistles.
We're doing "Make Someone Happy."
And it's why I am so eager
to come and join you in Cleveland
where things are as they should be.
- As are we.
- Okay, well, then I'm thrilled
and I'm thrilled
to have reached you.
- And it's late and I'll say bye-bye.
- It's okay.
Oh. Bye.
I know I got
an agency nurse,
but she's busy with someone else...
and I could really use
some backup now.
Can't you j...
Oh God, Big Bird just walked in.
I'll call you back.
Good evening.
Nurse Forchette has communicated
an urgent request
that I need to respond to.
She's not on duty
till tomorrow morning.
Okay, now, Didi, she called me,
all right? So I know she's here.
- Ooh, I...
- Kevin?
- What is this?
- What? What?
- Patsy...
- What the fuck is going on here?
- That was nothing. It was just a friend.
- I don't...
- It was nothing.
- What is happening to me?
I don't even know
who I am anymore.
- Patsy. Patsy. Shh shh shh!
- No.
- Tell him it was nothing.
- No way.
Patsy, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
No.
- Who's talking?!
- Kevin is nothing.
- Oh, don't...
- Don't you...
Who are you and what
are you doing here?
I'm Edvin Larsen. You have my mother.
I demand you give me my mother now.
Shh shh shh. It's 4:00 in the morning.
No no, we...
I went to my consulate and
brought my attaché.
Okay, but I...
I'm just saying we can't...
Honey, wait...
- Edvin!
- Mama!
Shoot.
Excuse me, Dr. James, someone
is here to collect Mrs. Larsen.
It's the... I think it's her son
or some sort of Swedish counsel.
No no.
Sir, you cannot come in
here in the middle of the night.
I want my mother
and I'm taking her.
What's going on here?
Who are you?
- Hampus Nelson, attaché.
- Of what?
Citizens Affairs, Swedish Consulate.
Who are you?
- I am Dr. Jenna James.
- I've gotten this man out of his bed.
- This woman is under my care.
- We don't want it.
I've been trying to free her
from your care for two days.
Well, she's scheduled
for surgery.
We don't want
your surgery.
I want to take her home
where surgery's $50,
- ...Not $300,000.
- All right, yes.
All right, our medical-supply
cartels do charge exorbitant prices
for hips and pins, but we
offer amenities and comforts.
We came to visit Death Valley, now
we're prisoners in this hospital.
"You must post cash bond
to be treated."
"Now pay more
for each test."
"We're sending her here,
sending her there."
I hate your shitty
medical system!
- Okay.
- And I can't afford it!
But if you take her now,
she's... she's just not well.
She's very very weak.
And our cardio unit is top-notch.
Who's doing her surgery?
Nog? Dr. Nog?
- No no no no.
- Going now.
No, I'm sorry. No. You can't
just walk out. Nobody walks out.
- Doctor, thank you.
- She has to be in a chair.
Oh, I'm begging you to reconsider. Just...
I'm... just... oh, please don't go.
Thank you.
You still hold your scalpel
like an artist.
Oh God. Ow! God!
Jenna! Shit! Ow!
- Come on.
- No.
- Patsy, you're not being fair.
- Why have you done this to me?
I haven't done anything to you. What
about what have you done to me?
I saw you. You made eyes
at our waiter tonight.
You are so cruel.
God!
Will the two of you shut up?!
I have had it all night long
with the two of you!
- He says I'm cruel.
- You humiliated me in front of Dr. James.
This is too much. You emasculated
me in front of my nemesis.
- She doesn't know anything.
- No, you know...
- Dawn.
- Did you tell her?
She is out to destroy me.
- Stop it.
- Let me just take you to your car.
- No, don't touch me.
- Let me take you to your car.
- Get him out of here, Dawn.
- Please don't touch me.
Oh God.
No, you made me feel dirty.
Knock it off! I have had it
with the both of you!
You know what?
I've had it with you too!
Why don't you just get off my back?
Fuck it!
Dawn.
- Are you okay?
- Nice one!
Shut up.
Ever feel like you're
on the voyage of the damned?
You can't get off?
I think that you and I are the only two
sober people in the world tonight.
- I don't drink, myself.
- Me either.
- Not for 20 years at least.
- You had a problem?
No, I just like who I am sober
better than who I am when I drink.
Well, it's about life
and how you handle it...
Isn't it? Every day we see
a parade of life choices
passing before us. And early on I
thought, "I will be cheerful and happy."
And by being cheerful, happy and
of the greatest service to others,
I will be a pleasure to all
and a bother to none.
- "And I will be happy."
- My mother is a drunk.
So was my father.
All right. Honey?
Sweetheart. Wake up.
- It's time to go. Honey.
- Mmm?
- Come on.
- My foot hurts.
I know. Well, we have Vicodin
in the fridge at home.
Hey, I apologize if I embarrassed you
in front of Dr. Rabinowitz tonight.
- I didn't mean to.
- All right. I know.
But the thing is...
I don't wanna
go to Cleveland.
- Oh, that's what's going on.
- I like our life here.
Richard, if I get the offer,
I have to take the job.
- It's a horrible city.
- No, it's not.
It's underrated. You're
frustrated at the museum.
Yeah, but they're
offering me a trustee.
Well, what if I shaved?
- You'd do that for me?
- In Cleveland.
You promise? You know,
everybody's doing it.
Oh, just how would you know
that everybody's doing it?
It's common knowledge...!
No, it certainly is
not common knowledge.
- Yeah.
- No no.
And it gives me a rash.
Wake up, Sleeping Beauty.
No no no no
no no no.
You don't look
all that worse for wear.
Your clothes are dry
over there on that chair.
My head.
I'm just gonna stay here,
take a shower over at the hospital.
- Do you have the end-of-shift reports?
- Um, right here.
Mmm. Thanks.
- Morning, Phyllis.
- Good morning.
- How you doing?
- Really great.
Thanks for spelling me.
That sleep was so good.
I dreamed I was in the desert,
peaceful and neonatal.
- So how is Mom doing?
- No change. It was a quiet night.
Well, that's good. Well, wish me luck.
I'm gonna tackle her toenails today.
- So see you day after tomorrow?
- Yup.
Right?
I'm not going anywhere else.
No. Right.
I love these...
I just hate having
to unwrap each one.
Mrs. Abbot. Dr. Cho finally faxed
his approval for your sleeping pill.
It's a Trazodone.
You want to wake up
and take your sleeping pill?
Season 1, Episode 5
"Nightshift"
My mama goes down
to her lawyer,
walks away with a check
for $50,000.
Won a lawsuit.
I lent her $5,000 once.
You think I'mma see it?
Hardly.
No. No no, you can't go.
If you go, then who's
gonna look after Maria?
No, I can't come and get her.
I'm at work.
No, I can't.
Adam, darn it,
just... fine.
Um, I'm so sorry, but it's an emergency
and there's no one else to babysit her.
No, go get your life straightened out.
It's a quiet night.
Thank you.
Yeah, I just lost another graveyarder.
Can you send someone else?
No, I'm not in a rush.
Why don't you get out of
here and get yourself
a couple hours of real sleep, you know?
- I'll call you if there are any changes.
- Oh gosh, no.
- You sure?
- Okay. Thank you.
All right.
I'm out of here.
Yeah. Actually, we do have
a free bed.
Have Antoine
bring her over.
Okay, bye-bye.
She's on the night shift.
There's your girl.
♪ Gonna be some
sweet sound ♪
♪ Coming down
On the night shift.
You know that's right. Better than going
nuts in the nuthouse during the day.
That's for sure.
All right, this young lady is Ingrid
Larsen, on vacation from Sweden.
She was admitted for sunstroke, but then
they gave her a stress test and angiogram,
and now she's here to stay with you until
she gets a bypass and a stent on Tuesday.
Oh, what a horrible vacation.
I usually just get diarrhea.
I'm Nurse Ortley and
I'm pleased to meet you.
Disneyland.
...Go to Knott's Berry Farm.
No no, honey. You've got to be quiet.
Everybody's sleeping.
Nobody's gonna
take your bra.
No, I'm not gonna frisk you. I've just
got to get you over here, okay?
I'm gonna need you...
I'm gonna lay you back.
This is gonna be your
bed till Tuesday, okay?
Your hair is pretty.
Come on.
- You good?
- Yeah.
Okay.
A doctor, yes.
- A big doctor hit you in the stomach?
- Yoo-hoo! Hello?
Okay, I'm gonna
be right back.
- Coming.
- Honey, honey.
- Yes, Miss Birdy?
- Could I please have a glass of water?
Yes, ma'am. It's empty. I'm gonna go
refill this and I'll be right back, okay?
- All right.
- Nurse?
- What is it, Sissy?
- My arm is throbbing.
Oh gosh. Okay.
Let me see.
Phyllis?
I need to change
your IV line.
- Phyllis?
- I'll be right back, okay?
Oh, no no no. No no
no no, Mrs. Sullivan.
You have to stay
in the bed, okay?
Let's get back in here.
It's okay.
She'll be back. It's okay.
You know what? Here's her sweater.
How about that? You want
to hold onto her sweater?
I want Darcy.
Okay, ma'am.
The cat ain't here.
Here's his picture.
Okay?
You gotta stay in this bed.
Don't climb back out.
How are things going
on getting me someone?
Yeah, or just an agency nurse.
I mean, anyone.
- I want Darcy.
- Yeah, 'cause I could sure use the help.
Oh my God.
How long has she
been like this?
- I don't know.
- Well, what does "I don't know" mean?
I was just with her.
I don't know.
Get another pole. We need
to start another line.
- Has she had surgery recently?
- She had a colon re-section last week.
- This is not good.
- No shit, Sherlock.
Sissy Bowler.
No no no. Bo-Bowler.
Bowler with a "B."
No sir. Sir, you did her
colon re-section last week.
Hell... Dr. Stickley?
Hello?
I don't know why you felt like you
couldn't just wait in the car.
I'm gonna be two minutes.
I don't know why you're so angry.
He didn't know.
Yes, he did know, Richard.
You were wildly inappropriate.
If you have something on your mind,
just go ahead and say it.
There's nothing
on my mind.
It's just it was
an important dinner to me.
I desperately want
that Cleveland job.
Hector Rabinowitz
is not some idiot,
and you wouldn't stop talking
about my pubic hair.
- He didn't know.
- Yes, he knew.
All I said was we had a huge overgrown
bush in desperate need of trimming.
He thought we were
talking about topiary.
It wasn't funny then,
it's not funny now.
So now that we're here, sit down.
I'll take a look at your foot.
This closet
is your office?
- Tiny lot a little dump, isn't it?
- Yes, it is. Give me your foot.
Ow. Oh, for heaven sakes, Richard.
How could you let it get this ingrown?
- I packed it with cotton.
- Well, I can't do this at home.
I have to do it here. I have to
get my instruments of torture.
I have to resection the nail
bed back to the matrix.
Ooh, Dr. James.
I'm glad you're here.
No no! Jenna, Jenna!
Jenna, come on. J.J., come on.
- Dr. James...
- Nurse Ortley, just ignore us.
My husband and I were out to
dinner, he has an ingrown toenail.
Don't open the door and let him
out no matter how much he begs.
Sissy Bowler is in trouble. She's bleeding
badly. Could you take a look at her?
Yeah. She's Dr. Stickley's
patient, right?
- Did you call him?
- Yes, I think he's drunk.
Is the whole world
drunk tonight?
All right.
Excuse me.
Okay, it's post-operative
hypovolemic shock. You...
Yvonne. Yes, please, can you call
the blood bank? Order six units.
Infuse a liter of Ringer's
lactate in the meantime.
- Got it. Right away.
- Would you please, Raul?
Could you recheck
her warfarin levels?
- Yeah, sure.
- Right away.
- Has an endoscopy been set up?
- No.
Okay, do that as well
for me, please.
- Yep.
- Immediately.
I'm on it.
Has Gastroenterology
been to see her yet?
- No, I called. He's coming.
- Okay.
Call the hospital
as well and alert them
we may have a bounce-back
headed their way.
Bed one is Ingrid Larsen,
visiting from Sweden.
They found
some heart issues.
Welcome to our country,
Ingrid Larsen.
She doesn't
speak English.
Now her son does,
but I can't find him.
Well, I mean, I know
"smorgasbord" and "pepparkakor."
Pepparkakor, a special holiday treat?
Pepparkakor cookies...?
All right. I don't speak Swedish.
I speak a little bit of German.
Do you speak German by any chance?
Willkommen?
- Valkommen.
- So is that Swedish?
See that's very close, so I think
that German might be our best bet.
Yeah...
- Hi.
- Hi...
Hey, you're the one whose husband did
the cement in our driveway, right?
Yeah, I'm...
I'm that one.
Thanks. Darnell appreciated
the work and so did I.
He did a fine job.
No, hey, wait.
Can... can you...
can you let me out?
- Mmm, I don't... I don't think so.
- Come on, please?
Please?
I... I can't breathe in here.
I'm having a medical emergency
from the junk and the mold.
Look, my wife locked me up
because I drank too much,
and I have a big mouth and she's
afraid I'm gonna say something
and embarrass her.
But I won't, I promise.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hey, you wanna know
what we were arguing about?
- No sir, I do not.
- All right, fair enough.
Oh good good good.
You've got someone.
Okay, great.
Thank you.
- Hi.
- Dawn?
- Dawn, what... what are you doing here?
- Oh, the agency just called.
I just... I've been doing
some moonlighting.
- I need the extra cash, but it's okay.
- Dawn, what...
It's okay. God,
Patsy's a complete asshole.
- Dawn.
- He's such an asshole.
- You're drunk, aren't you?
- Okay, we went out,
and he says he wants to be
with me, but not like that.
- Do you know what I mean?
- Shh. Hey.
- You should go home.
- So what is that?
- "What is that?" is what I wanna know.
- Okay, you should go home.
'Cause I wan... I wanna know.
I wanted to know.
- I want you to go home.
- It's not fair.
You know what? I must matter to him
because he talks to me all the t...
- Oh oh oh oh oh oh. Okay.
- He talks to me all the time.
- Okay, come here.
- He wouldn't do that if I didn't matter.
- Sit down. Sit down. Sit...
- I'm fine. I'm fine. Okay.
Down!
- I'll just... I'll get my uniform.
- No. No.
No. I don't need you
to help me do that.
- He does love me. He said he loves me...
- Sit. Sit down.
But he doesn't love me.
What he said is that he's not in love
with me, but that he sort of loves me.
- I'ma call a ca...
- This was like 15 minutes ago.
Okay, Dawn.
- Don't show anybody that.
- Do you know what it is?
- Don't show anybody that.
- Do you know it?
- Okay, no. Stop.
- I wish it was a scratch and sniff.
- Stop.
- So you could smell it.
I mean, if he didn't like me,
then why would he even talk to me?
I mean, he wouldn't talk
to me, would he?
You're gonna
wake everybody up.
I got a lot
of work to do, okay?
Right now
Sissy Bowler bled out.
- I got... I got...
- Oh God, I love Mrs. Bowler.
- Yeah, me too.
- You can't save everyone.
- Okay. Okay.
- You can't.
I'll do it.
I can help.
- No no no. No no no.
- Let me get my... no, I'll do it.
- You don't...
- Sit down. I am in charge of you tonight.
No, I am in charge, 'cause
I'm the head nurse.
- No, dear. No, I am your boss tonight.
- But I'm in charge.
You're an agency nurse tonight.
I'm your boss. I'm on staff here.
You're very
funny.
- Dawn...
- Who's that?
- Dr. James.
- What is she doing here?
Talking about some pepper-cocksucker
cookies or something.
Her husband's over there.
I could really use
something to eat...
Okay, let me do that.
...then I will be a-okay.
- Okay, let me get you something.
- Ready to rock.
What part of "I'll do it"
don't you understand?
- I'll do it.
- Yeah.
Must be
something to eat.
Okay, I'm gonna get you some
coffee and you're gonna drink it.
- Okay?
- Yeah.
You just... you gotta stop being
consumed by all of this.
- I know. Yeah.
- Let him fly away.
If it's meant to be,
you know, he'll come back.
My mama always say you can't keep
a man who don't wanna be kept.
And all this crying
and wai...
Shoot.
Oh Jesus.
Okay, everything is squared away with
Mrs. Bowler and with the Swedish woman.
- Is that Dawn?
- Uh-huh, yeah, umm, yeah.
- What's she doing here?
- Uh, saying hi.
- Oh, look, there she goes.
- She's so strong and fit.
She's like someone's
lovely Swedish nana.
She needs a tight little bun.
- Hey.
- You let him out.
I've gotten rid of four
long-extinct monitors.
No no no no. No, Richard,
don't mess with my mess.
I'm about to take all that pile
of detritus next to you desk.
I don't want
you cleaning out my office.
What is going on with you tonight?
Get off that foot.
You'll get that
even more infected. Oh!
Clearly you need
a little booty.
Nurse, would you mind
getting him a little booty?
Jenna, your office doesn't have
to be some dank stinkhole.
You don't have to try
to prove some point.
- Stay stay.
- Well, maybe it suits me just fine.
All right? Everybody says that
women are vain about shoes,
but men are too,
just as much.
And to the detriment of all of
our toes... male and female.
Just admit that
you wear a size 13.
Oh my.
She is very agile.
My good God.
How are you able
to do that at your age?
Do you practice?
Do you eat chicken?
Or duck and herring?
Salmon? Some sort of fish roe?
You don't know what I'm saying.
I'm going to make you
a famous research subject.
More famous even
than Sabina Spielrein.
May I do
a quick examination?
Hey, Dawn.
- Hey, Richard.
- Hey.
- I won your museum basket, you know.
- I heard.
Hey, is...
is Jenna ever happy here?
I don't know.
I can't get this timer to work.
I'm trying
to do three minutes.
- This just doesn't work.
- All right, here here here.
You gonna do it?
Richard, when a guy says...
How can you love someone
but not be in love with them?
- Who are we talking about?
- Maybe that is none of your business.
- Well, it is now.
- I just don't understand.
Oh, Dawn.
You know he told me
that he doesn't love me.
I'm gonna just
borrow this for...
That's what he said.
But then he says that it's like...
That it's... yes, it's all
on and-and he loves me,
and then it's fucking not.
I mean it's just off.
You know? It's like all these...
all these women in here,
who have
no one in the world,
they have no children,
they have no husbands
and I just do not want to eat
dinner by myself forever.
- I just... I don't want to be alone.
- Shh.
You got your ponytail and your whatnot,
somebody's gonna appreciate all that.
I happen to think
I'm very attractive,
and there's a lot of people
who would agree with that.
Hello!
- Shh shh shh! Calm down, Miss Birdy.
- Anybody there?
Stop shouting.
What do you need?
Can I have
a glass of water?
Oh! I'm so sorry, okay?
- I got it. I got it, Didi.
- I'm gonna get it for you in one sec.
- I got it.
- No no no no. No no no.
You are not even
on duty right now.
I can get a fucking glass of water.
Jesus, Didi.
- Extended Care.
- How are you doing tonight?
Very good.
Oh, hold on a sec. Sorry.
Bye-bye.
Didi, he texted.
He said, "Do you have
my credit card?"
What do you think that means?
I'm gonna text him back.
No no no. No no no no no. Not
on the floor you're not.
Why?
He's still up, isn't he?
- You need to go home, Dawn.
- Fine, I'm going.
- Go home, Dawn. I'm going.
- Fine, I'm going.
Oh good, you got your water.
Patsy, it's me. I know you're there,
because you just texted me.
So I'm just
getting back to you.
I know, um...
Listen, I know
you're gay, bi or whatever,
but I just...
I wanted to say something...
Because maybe we could try
for a baby, because I love you.
I'd really like
to have your baby.
Okay. Bye.
She's 87.
She has the vigor
of an 18-year-old.
She may need a stent,
but she's in here...
she's doing kips and pike layouts
like an Olympic gymnast.
This is a major
major discovery.
Jenna, come on, I'm tired.
I wanna go home now.
Honey, honey, honey, this is major.
There are so many queries
and studies being done right
now on obesity and diabetes
and genes versus behavior.
And here I have Patient Zero of Nordic
fitness falling right into my lap.
- This is an unbelievable opportunity.
- Honey. Come on.
Honey, please, I just
need to make one quick call.
What's going on here?
- Has she been drinking?
- A little.
Nurse Forchette,
I want you off the floor.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
- Right now.
- Even socially.
- Mm-hmm.
Hey, Dawn, tell me... where do
you keep the electric shavers?
- Richard...
- What for?
Don't they have to shave the
women's pubis before surgery?
Yeah, they do that
over in the hospital.
I did that once
when I worked in OR.
I don't know why you are so
utterly obsessed with this.
J.J., I'm just joking.
J.J., come on.
I did some pre-op
catheterization too,
and what I really remember is all
the different types of penises.
- Dawn...
- But you just gotta do...
You just do your job.
That's what I do.
Poor Mrs. Bowler.
- Hello?
- Hello?
Oh, Hector.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I thought it would go
straight to voice-mail.
- It's Jenna, Jenna James.
- Uh-huh.
I'm sorry to call so late, but we were
having such a lovely dinner earlier.
And here we have the perfect specimen, yes?
What are the odds?
We form a control group
around her,
study osteo-densities.
The sky is the limit.
Here's what I'm thinking.
Okay, if her matriarchal line
exhibits the same chromosomal makeup
without significant deviation...
Just think of the spectacular statistical
results that we could achieve.
Yeah, may I speak
to Kevin, please?
Kevin, it's Dawn.
I picked up an extra shift, so I'm
down on one, if you wanna drop by.
It's Dawn.
As luck would have it, she's
having a stent put in on Tuesday.
So what I need to do is keep everything
disentangled from Mount Palms,
because everything becomes
just so proprietary.
Hector, it's worse than that.
They've drunk the Kool-Aid.
They are so enamored of all the
trivial bells and whistles.
We're doing "Make Someone Happy."
And it's why I am so eager
to come and join you in Cleveland
where things are as they should be.
- As are we.
- Okay, well, then I'm thrilled
and I'm thrilled
to have reached you.
- And it's late and I'll say bye-bye.
- It's okay.
Oh. Bye.
I know I got
an agency nurse,
but she's busy with someone else...
and I could really use
some backup now.
Can't you j...
Oh God, Big Bird just walked in.
I'll call you back.
Good evening.
Nurse Forchette has communicated
an urgent request
that I need to respond to.
She's not on duty
till tomorrow morning.
Okay, now, Didi, she called me,
all right? So I know she's here.
- Ooh, I...
- Kevin?
- What is this?
- What? What?
- Patsy...
- What the fuck is going on here?
- That was nothing. It was just a friend.
- I don't...
- It was nothing.
- What is happening to me?
I don't even know
who I am anymore.
- Patsy. Patsy. Shh shh shh!
- No.
- Tell him it was nothing.
- No way.
Patsy, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
No.
- Who's talking?!
- Kevin is nothing.
- Oh, don't...
- Don't you...
Who are you and what
are you doing here?
I'm Edvin Larsen. You have my mother.
I demand you give me my mother now.
Shh shh shh. It's 4:00 in the morning.
No no, we...
I went to my consulate and
brought my attaché.
Okay, but I...
I'm just saying we can't...
Honey, wait...
- Edvin!
- Mama!
Shoot.
Excuse me, Dr. James, someone
is here to collect Mrs. Larsen.
It's the... I think it's her son
or some sort of Swedish counsel.
No no.
Sir, you cannot come in
here in the middle of the night.
I want my mother
and I'm taking her.
What's going on here?
Who are you?
- Hampus Nelson, attaché.
- Of what?
Citizens Affairs, Swedish Consulate.
Who are you?
- I am Dr. Jenna James.
- I've gotten this man out of his bed.
- This woman is under my care.
- We don't want it.
I've been trying to free her
from your care for two days.
Well, she's scheduled
for surgery.
We don't want
your surgery.
I want to take her home
where surgery's $50,
- ...Not $300,000.
- All right, yes.
All right, our medical-supply
cartels do charge exorbitant prices
for hips and pins, but we
offer amenities and comforts.
We came to visit Death Valley, now
we're prisoners in this hospital.
"You must post cash bond
to be treated."
"Now pay more
for each test."
"We're sending her here,
sending her there."
I hate your shitty
medical system!
- Okay.
- And I can't afford it!
But if you take her now,
she's... she's just not well.
She's very very weak.
And our cardio unit is top-notch.
Who's doing her surgery?
Nog? Dr. Nog?
- No no no no.
- Going now.
No, I'm sorry. No. You can't
just walk out. Nobody walks out.
- Doctor, thank you.
- She has to be in a chair.
Oh, I'm begging you to reconsider. Just...
I'm... just... oh, please don't go.
Thank you.
You still hold your scalpel
like an artist.
Oh God. Ow! God!
Jenna! Shit! Ow!
- Come on.
- No.
- Patsy, you're not being fair.
- Why have you done this to me?
I haven't done anything to you. What
about what have you done to me?
I saw you. You made eyes
at our waiter tonight.
You are so cruel.
God!
Will the two of you shut up?!
I have had it all night long
with the two of you!
- He says I'm cruel.
- You humiliated me in front of Dr. James.
This is too much. You emasculated
me in front of my nemesis.
- She doesn't know anything.
- No, you know...
- Dawn.
- Did you tell her?
She is out to destroy me.
- Stop it.
- Let me just take you to your car.
- No, don't touch me.
- Let me take you to your car.
- Get him out of here, Dawn.
- Please don't touch me.
Oh God.
No, you made me feel dirty.
Knock it off! I have had it
with the both of you!
You know what?
I've had it with you too!
Why don't you just get off my back?
Fuck it!
Dawn.
- Are you okay?
- Nice one!
Shut up.
Ever feel like you're
on the voyage of the damned?
You can't get off?
I think that you and I are the only two
sober people in the world tonight.
- I don't drink, myself.
- Me either.
- Not for 20 years at least.
- You had a problem?
No, I just like who I am sober
better than who I am when I drink.
Well, it's about life
and how you handle it...
Isn't it? Every day we see
a parade of life choices
passing before us. And early on I
thought, "I will be cheerful and happy."
And by being cheerful, happy and
of the greatest service to others,
I will be a pleasure to all
and a bother to none.
- "And I will be happy."
- My mother is a drunk.
So was my father.
All right. Honey?
Sweetheart. Wake up.
- It's time to go. Honey.
- Mmm?
- Come on.
- My foot hurts.
I know. Well, we have Vicodin
in the fridge at home.
Hey, I apologize if I embarrassed you
in front of Dr. Rabinowitz tonight.
- I didn't mean to.
- All right. I know.
But the thing is...
I don't wanna
go to Cleveland.
- Oh, that's what's going on.
- I like our life here.
Richard, if I get the offer,
I have to take the job.
- It's a horrible city.
- No, it's not.
It's underrated. You're
frustrated at the museum.
Yeah, but they're
offering me a trustee.
Well, what if I shaved?
- You'd do that for me?
- In Cleveland.
You promise? You know,
everybody's doing it.
Oh, just how would you know
that everybody's doing it?
It's common knowledge...!
No, it certainly is
not common knowledge.
- Yeah.
- No no.
And it gives me a rash.
Wake up, Sleeping Beauty.
No no no no
no no no.
You don't look
all that worse for wear.
Your clothes are dry
over there on that chair.
My head.
I'm just gonna stay here,
take a shower over at the hospital.
- Do you have the end-of-shift reports?
- Um, right here.
Mmm. Thanks.
- Morning, Phyllis.
- Good morning.
- How you doing?
- Really great.
Thanks for spelling me.
That sleep was so good.
I dreamed I was in the desert,
peaceful and neonatal.
- So how is Mom doing?
- No change. It was a quiet night.
Well, that's good. Well, wish me luck.
I'm gonna tackle her toenails today.
- So see you day after tomorrow?
- Yup.
Right?
I'm not going anywhere else.
No. Right.
