Nurse Jackie (2009–2015): Season 1, Episode 10 - Ring Finger - full transcript

Previously on Nurse Jackie:

They're replacing
me with a Pyxis.

A fucking Pyxis?
Are you kidding me?

I can meet your kid.

We don't have to
keep hiding all the time.

I'll give you a dollar if
you don't go to work today.

Daddy's gonna take you home.

I want the hospital
to burn down.

When I get nervous, I act
out with sexual touches.

It's like Tourette's. It's
completely involuntary.

I was not gossiping.



Oh, my God, I think
of you as a sister.

Think again.

He's a donor? Yep,
I got it. He's a donor.

Where the fuck is Dr. Cooper?

Just give me... Oh, that's nice.

Forget it. You're useless.

Dr. Cooper
certified brain death.

When?

I don't know, before you
guys got here. We good?

Oh, God. Sorry.

It was me. No, it
was probably me.

It was her.

Okay, take five.

Whoo! Ha, ha.

Grace, honey,
this is Mrs. Flynn.

She's in the parish.
We just joined.

She's fourth grade.

Oh, fifth. Your mom and I
went to high school together.

Yes, we did, a
million years ago.

Oh, half a million. Go, Hornets.

She was the homecoming queen.

Yes, I know. I know.

I voted for her. Ha, ha.

Well...

It's a nice parish. You
and Kevin will like it.

Yeah, yeah, I
think we will. Yeah.

We're going to Dunkin' Donuts.

A bunch of us are going.
We'd love it if you came along.

Oh, thank you, but I've
got this thing in the city.

She has to go to work. Yes.

In case you thought I
was going to the opera.

Maybe next week. Okay.

I'm sorry, sweetie. Did you
wanna go out for donuts?

No. No?

Hey, what did Kaitlyn
whisper to you back there?

I mean, unless it's private,
which is fine if it's private.

She said that her mom was
Dad's girlfriend before you.

Oh, please.

She wishes.

Yeah. Ha, ha, ha.

Sunday?

Saturday.

Really? Hm.

It feels like Sunday.

Well, I'm pretty sure.

Yeah, mother-daughter
tap is Saturday.

You take tap with your mother?

I do. And we're good.

I'll bet you are.

What's up with O'Hara?

Who knows?

Usually she says hello.

No, she only says
hello when she's bored.

Or if she's wearing
something new

and she wants someone to notice.

God, you're right.

Those Chanel
pumps are hot, though.

Well, she has taste.

It doesn't mean she
has manners. Mm.

When you have a minute...

Fucking doctors.

Right?

Well, I can't do more
than say I'm sorry

and I promise you it
will never happen again.

I understand.

Clearly, you don't know me well
enough to know that I'm famous

for not making the
same mistake twice.

So whenever you've finished
doling out this punishment,

or whatever it is,

I'm here.

Keep pouting and
your face will freeze.

Ring, Jacks.

Oh, gosh.

Whose stuff? Peace offering.

Hey, Jackie. Eddie, hi.

Hey. I... Brr.

Right? A little...
You need a sweater.

That thing you
wanted, the... What's it?

Oh, yes, for the guy
in... Yeah, for him.

It will be ready in five.
Okay, see you then.

Notification, ETA, three
minutes, cardiac arrest.

Oh, come on.

Uh, no.

Blue team to Trauma Room, stat.
Blue team to Trauma Room, stat.

Okay.

Unknown, 30, male. Found
down at the post office.

Witnesses called 911.

Notification, V-fib, arrest.

Down 30 minutes, nada, zip.

Great.

On my count. One, two, three.

V-fib, continue CPR.

Maintain the airway.

Hold compression.

Still on V-fib. Paddle up.

Is that his phone?

Focus, Zoey.

Clear. All clear?

Nothing. Give him
1 milligram of epi.

Continue CPR.

At the newsstand today, did
you see a ring on my finger?

No. Did you lose
one? Yeah, I did.

Hold compression.

Still on V-fib. Give him
a milligram of atropine.

Continue compression.

Hold compression.

Call it.

Eleven twenty-six.

Do you want us
to...? No, I got it.

Hi. This is a message...

Uh, well, I don't know
who this message is for.

I'm calling from Chris' phone.

Chris is at All
Saints Hospital. Um,

if you are concerned about him

or if you know anybody
who's concerned about him,

please have them come
down to the ER here, please.

This is a critical
situation and, um,

he needs your help,
okay? Thank you.

This is Jackie.

God.

Oh, please.

Ah, fuck.

Jackie.

It's Melissa.

Uh, Fitch's girlfriend.

Oh, sure, right. Uh,
how's your mom?

She's the one who's having
a third of her colon removed,

but I'm the one who's a wreck.

Yeah, well, the flowers are
beautiful. She'll love them.

Oh, no, she doesn't
go in till next week.

They're for Fitch.

Hey, it's my ladies.

Hey.

Hi.

Oh... Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Uh, Medical Records is up my ass

for the paperwork on
a donor I didn't certify.

Regional Transplant says

you said that I
signed off on it.

How...? I... I wasn't even
there. How did I sign off?

They're trying to close the
case for insurance purposes.

It's all an internal
thing. Don't worry.

Where's the chart?
Because legally...

Legally, organs can be harvested
without the family's consent,

so just settle down.

What if a loved one
gets pissed, huh?

What if I get accused of
telling a surgeon to cut a heart

out of his body without
proof of brain death?

That's considered
murder, Jackie.

You're being a little dramatic.

I will turn on you so fast,
it will make your head spin.

Be careful. You're gonna
scare your girlfriend.

Uh, it was nice to
see you, Melissa.

Oh, bye.

I'll bring it right back.

Hey, coming by?

Yeah, five minutes.

Gloves? Uh, urine samples.

Time to delegate the piss run.

What can I say? It's
the highlight of my day.

See you.

Hey.

Do you ever knock? Favor?

Only if you're not
angry anymore.

Oh, please.

You're sure about this?

Positive.

For the record, I'm officially
questioning your judgment.

Duly noted.

How are you gonna explain a
sawn-off wedding ring to Kevin?

I will think of something.
Can't you say you lost it?

Losing it implies that I
didn't care to keep track of it.

And sawing it off is better?

Can you do this, please? Okay.

Hold still. I am. I am.

Hold still, hold still. I am.

Hold still. You're
not, you're jittery.

Oh, c...

Well, when you're
right, you're right.

Oh, Coop is on a tear.

I, uh, cut some corners
with a potential donor.

Did you do anything
illegal? I did.

Could you be fired?
At the very least.

Strangely, I could
live with that.

Okay, then.

What I cannot live with is
Coop holding this over my head.

I'd offer to dress him down
for you, but unfortunately

I suspect he'll get all grabby
and wreck a perfectly good bra.

Besides, you're a smart
girl. You know what to do.

I do.

I do?

If anyone knows how to drive
him around the bend, it's you.

Okay. Hand over.

Now, hold still. Mm-hm.

Speak now or forever
hold your peace.

Hey.

Can I keep these in here?

What's the matter
with your office?

Allergies.

We can share them.

Mm? Yeah.

They look expensive.
Grateful patient?

Girlfriend.

Really? A girl
brought you flowers.

Life of Riley, Coop, shit.

I have no idea what that means.

Life of Riley.

Hey.

You two need a minute?

Ha. Coop's girlfriend
brought him flowers.

Yes, I saw.

Got paperwork for me?

Actually, Eddie,
if you don't mind,

I need a minute with Dr. Cooper.

Yeah, technically,

I'm not supposed to
leave anyone in here.

But I, uh... I tell you what,

I'm gonna lock up and go
grab a cup of soup from the caff.

Appreciate it, bro. Yeah.

Hey, no worries.

I'll keep her away
from the good stuff.

Heh.

You really just said that?

It was a joke.

Yes. No, I realize that.

I was just trying to
lighten the tension.

There is always gonna
be tension between us.

You know, we're very different,
you and me. I don't get you.

I don't get your sense of humor.

And I really don't appreciate
you coming after me

with this donor shit, okay?

You weren't there.

There was this huge gap where
a doctor was supposed to be.

And so I jumped in.

That's what happened.
It's just not a big deal.

It is a big deal. I'm
qualified, you're not.

That's... New York
law says that. Not me.

Either way, that's insulting.

And for you to threaten me
the way you did this morning,

it's just unconscionable.

Do you know what
that means? Heh, yeah.

I have been watching people die

since you were on
the fucking playground.

So knock it off.

I'm so sorry, Jackie. I...

It's okay, it's all
right. Don't panic.

Fuck.

Listen, it's been a shitty day.

Cardiac arrest.

You really did everything
you could back there.

You were really very smart.

You don't need to panic.

Okay? You just need to trust me.

And I need to be
able to trust you.

You can.

You told Eddie I have a kid.

No. No, I didn't.

Yes, I did. I'm sorry.

Which is bigger,

morbidly obese or super obese?

I have it written
down somewhere.

Get back to me on that.

Mo-Mo and I just
cleaned a really big man.

Six hundred pounds.

I don't wanna hear about it.

Anybody ever call
about the cardiac arrest?

No.

Do you think he had kids?

Hope not.

Bad things are 100 times
worse when there's kids involved,

you know?

Yeah. I know.

Mm. Excuse me.

Where is Eddie?

In there.

♪ Never even knew my name ♪

♪ You... ♪

Hey.

I took some valium.

I'm throwing a little
going-away party in my head.

Oh. Can I come? No.

Are you kidding?

Up here, you're already topless

and you look fucking awesome.

And this fully-clothed
thing is a bit of a drag, hm?

Little valium, huh?

Mm-hm. Rocking the
benzos, baby. Mm-hm.

What are they gonna do, fire me?

Where is everybody?

Ah.

I've been waiting
for that all day.

It's super. Ah!

Ah!

Zoey.

Ooh, ah!

Zoey. Close the fucking door.

Um!

I'm so sorry, you guys.

What are you doing here?

Uh...

Super obese is bigger
than morbidly obese.

What makes you think
I wanna talk about that

with no shirt on?

You said get back to me.

It's a figure of speech,
Zoey. Get outta here!

I know, I know. Oh, I know.

Bye, Eddie.

Bye.

Wh... Laugh or cry?

Laugh.

I...

For God's sake. Ugh!

Cómo está, Padre Vicente?

Close the roller clamp.

Check the expiration
date on the new bag.

You and Eddie are
really cute together.

I am not afraid to kill
you in front of a priest.

No.

Okay. Heh.

Soup for you.

Ah. Gracias.

Et voilà.

French.

So he didn't eat
any of the soup?

A little.

I think he's afraid
God will punish him.

Personally, I don't
think God punishes us.

What about you?

No.

Zoey, what you walked in
on was very, very private.

Oh, I know.

Listen, I don't have any
judgment or anything.

I don't care if you do.

I went to second with my
manager at Burger King, so I get it.

See, I d... I don't
wanna know that.

You walked in on me. I didn't
share this information with you.

I don't want you to share
this information with me.

Got it. We're professionals.

Okay, this does
not count as food.

Make sure he
understands that, please.

You want the rest?

No, thank you.

Right, no sharing.

Zoey walked in on me and Eddie.

And I kissed Coop.

Yeah, I thought you'd like that.

Find your ring?

No, I never did.

What's it look like?

It's simple. It's just a ring.

I had it for a long time.

That's heartbreaking.

You know what?

Pray to St. Anthony.

I've lost so much
stuff. Oh, my God.

I'm pretty sure it's gone.

So let me pray to St. Anthony.

You're very sweet. You
do whatever you wanna do.

I want to find your ring

because then I'll have
done one good thing today.

If I can do one
good thing a day,

I feel good about my life.

That's doable.

Believe me, it's
harder than it sounds.

Plus, I got a lot of bad shit
I'm trying to make up for.

I don't believe you, Mohammed.

That's 'cause you're
a good person.

I gotta go, honey.

See ya.

Zoey? Can you, uh,
page Dr. O'Hara for me?

She left. Are you okay?

Uh, page Dr. Cooper
for me, please.

I really appreciate this.

Ah. It's what I do.

Jesus, what did you do?

I'm sorry about this morning.

It's a lot of tension
flying around.

If I was mean, I apologize.

I'm keeping the kiss.

If you tell Eddie,
I'll have to kill you.

How stupid do you think I am?

Don't answer that.

You're not a bad guy.

That's what I've
been trying to tell you.

Hm.

I'm gonna go now.

Okay.

Sorry about your finger.

And the other thing.

It's okay. It's over with.

Uh, I got Father...

I don't remember his
name, but I got him to eat.

Really? Really.

Want me to wait for
you? No. You go ahead.

Good night, Jackie.

Good night.

Hello?

Yes.

Yes, this is Chris' phone.
Um, what's your name?

I'm afraid we have
some bad news.

We don't know too many details,

but apparently his
heart stopped beating,

and we tried to revive him.

No. No, he wasn't in any pain.

He wasn't alone, I
know. So I'm so sorry.
