Accidental Love
Thanks.
That's good for business.
Thank you.
Excuse me!
That's a hell of a move, darling.
I never get tired of it.
- Thanks, Mom.
- Maybe take your hair down.
- Why?
- Scott came to see us yesterday.
What does that have to do with my hair?
Did he come and get his belt sander?
No. He came to get our blessings.
What?
Wow.
Hi, Scott.
He is so awesome. What a dreamboat.
You get everything.
Nobody gets everything, Brenda. You hang in there.
- Vintage Cruising Night looks great.
- Yeah, it does.
You notice anything... different?
Maybe how you're feeling today
or how I'm feeling today?
Nah, I got the... got the...
Oh, you got the new Bluetooth Oakleys.
Oh, that's exciting.
It is exciting. But guess who had to pay
for them? Me. Can you believe that?
- Oh, that's so not right.
- Well, it's the principle.
We shouldn't have to pay to do our jobs.
80% of police authority comes
from controlling eye contact
like I'm doing here right here with you. See?
Anyway... I wanna talk about tonight.
- OK.
- I'm taking you to a special dinner.
Got your shift covered. Don't worry
about it. I already talked to Bobby.
- Right now?
- Right now.
- Where we going?
- Only the best restaurant in town.
- No way.
- Yeah, The Fancy Gondola.
- So cool.
- It's right there.
All these people, most of them are like lawyers,
- and professionals, and judges, and stuff.
- Wow.
Alice...
This was voted best alfredo in
Smith County three years in a row.
- We've been dating for... what, eight months now?
- Yeah?
And I will never forget the first
day you skated up to my motorcycle.
And our eyes met.
Excuse me, do you know how long it's gonna be?
Yeah, about 25 minutes, tops.
- I don't mind if you eat while I work.
- Let's just move to another table.
No, no, we're not moving. They
don't have anything else.
This is the best table. It's the Gondola table.
- It's the Gondola table.
- It's romantic.
- It's very romantic.
- Took me two weeks to get it.
Or I would have been doing this two weeks ago.
Alice, I love you for who you are.
For richer or poorer. In sickness and in health.
- You are my precious honeycomb cluster.
- Excuse me, sir. Is there an issue?
- The ambiance is a little nail gunning.
- Right.
I planned this with your restaurant. I
don't know why this is all happening.
Who's the genius who decided to do
construction during all of this?
This is outrageous. I can't-I
can't believe this. This is...
- My whole marriage proposal's ruined.
- No, it's not, Scotty. Go, go.
Alright, we're very sorry, sir.
Just bear with us another minute.
Oh, it's too tight.
I mean, it's perfect. I mean, my finger's too big.
The honeycomb cluster does have large knuckles.
Yes, yes, I will marry you.
From the bottom of my heart...
it would be my honor to be...
It's imbedded deep in the forward
part of the left front lobe.
Two inches below the scalp.
We have to be extremely careful, or
she could be brain damaged, for life.
Wait! She has no insurance. Shut it down.
Thank you, Arlene. You're an angel.
Oh, I'm starving. Where'd those hamburgers go?
You have to operate. This is an emergency.
Emergency. That's a very interesting word.
A gunshot wound, or the belly is
bleeding, that's an emergency.
This girl's not bleeding. She can
get up and walk right out of here.
Might be an emergency, in a week
or a month, but not today. Also...
I am sick and tired of uninsured
25-year-olds coming in here,
and expecting our services, for free.
Plus, we're liable, which means
we could end up paying you.
Why don't you just file a lawsuit
against The Fancy Gondola?
With the courts and all, it
would take years to collect.
Wait. How much could this cost, anyway?
How could it be $150,000 to pull a nail out?
It's brain surgery.
It's stuck in the sesamoid bone that's
behind the nose. It's deep. It's not good.
Maybe we could get married and
then I can be on Scott's plan.
OK, then the nail would be a preexisting
condition and the insurer won't pay.
Well, what if we just leave it in there?
You know, I-I think I-I feel like
I've seen this on the Internet.
You know, some rocker dude has nails
in his head and he's fine. I could be fine.
It depends on where it is. And
yours is in a super unlucky place.
OK, how unlucky are we talking, Doc? I
deal with odds on a daily basis, OK?
That's my job. What are the odds of
Alice being completely messed up?
She could lose mouth motor
control, have slurred speech.
Have a lifetime of heavy drooling.
Not a fun wife.
Well, our love is stronger
than that, right, Scotty?
Scotty? Scotty?
Let's just s-see what the doctors have to say.
Another option, if the nail
shifts within the lobe, uh...
then she's likely to lose
all kinds of inhibitions.
- Oh, that's really good, right?
- Yeah, that could be good.
Frankly, that's, uh... kind of a pain in the ass.
Might be good for sex.
Wow! Now, maybe I can finally have an orgasm.
OK, honey. So, private.
I already told you that 50 to 60% of women
don't have orgasms from intercourse.
What about you starting gentle like I asked?
And then taking it at the
angle that I really like?
Anyway, so.
The nail in this lobe, um, could actually
cause her fits of panic, um, unpredictable moments
- of wrath, rage, anger.
- Ah, yeah, I read that same article.
And she could start speaking, uh...
fragments of a foreign language
that maybe she was exposed to as a child.
It's crazy, but it happens.
I've seen it once before.
Oh, my God. Remember Portuguese
Jimena, my babysitter?
I wanted her to be in the bridesmaid.
Yeah, yeah, Jimena...
- yeah, the babysitter.
- What are you doing?
Needs to be resized, right?
Well, are we still engaged?
- Let's just...
- We are, right?
Let's focus on fixing your head, right now.
And take it from there, OK?
This will give you good luck for now.
Did you just exchange her
engagement ring for a chicken foot?
OK, first of all, it's a hawk talon. It's
very meaningful to me. Alice knows that.
It's brought me great luck over
the years... 90% of the time.
How's my baby?
- Oh, Mom. Dad.
- Oh, baby.
Will you please pay for my surgery?
- Well, sure we will.
- Hawk talon's working already.
- How much is it?
- 150,000.
150,000?
We don't have that kind of money.
I thought I was on your health plan.
Oh, no, baby. That stopped
when you were 22, remember?
We gave you the choice to have
basic healthcare or a credit card
- that Daddy would pay up to 500 a year.
- Yeah. I remember.
At the time, I thought the
credit card sounded more fun,
but now I think insurance sounds like more fun.
That's the way it goes.
Bob, we could take out a second
mortgage on the house to pay for this.
- Yes.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no. We already have a
second mortgage on the house.
Well, didn't somebody get engaged today?
- That's... that's on... hold.
- What?
- Yeah.
- Oh, no. Oh, no, no.
- You are still engaged.
