Anything for Love Page #5

I'm sure

you're very humble.

I've been meaning

to ask you.

What made you want

to become an obstetrician?

Wait a minute,

I never told you that.

I saw "doctor" on your profile,

and I googled you.

On my profile?

Yeah, and I read

that article

about you delivered

quintuplets last year.

That was amazing.

Reggie...

No, that wasn't...

That was

incredible!

That was...

A medical miracle.

You saved their lives.

No, I don't think

you understand...

That was...

It took a whole team of highly

qualified medical personnel

and nurses who never get

the credit they deserve.

See? You are humble.

Oh, you...

- Hey!

- I should kill you!

This is a hospital.

We save lives here.

We don't wipe them out.

You switched my profile

to tell her I was a doctor!

And this is the way

you thank me?

Thank you?

Yeah, you've got women

coming out of the woodwork.

The way I see it,

you owe me one.

Yeah, but she thinks

I'm that Dr. j. Thomas Cooper.

I had nothing

to do with that.

It's because

of your lie.

Okay, then what did she say

when you set her straight?

I...

I...

Didn't exactly.

Now who's the pot

calling the kettle black?

It is...

I was backed into a corner.

Well, that's when we show

our truest character,

when our backs

are up against the wall,

and we're desperate.

Right,

but it's not my character.

Don't worry,

there are other fish in the sea.

I like this fish.

If it isn't nurse ratched.

Rise and shine.

Hey...

Hey, what did you do

with my game?

Me?

Nothing.

No, no, no,

it was right here.

Night nurse.

Should check with her.

I'm going to report you

for theft.

You can get fired for this.

Get a grip, buddy.

I didn't take

your stupid game.

So what am I supposed

to do now, huh?

Watch reruns

of the price is right?

I could loan you a book

I'm reading.

It's "the catcher in the rye."

Yeah, great.

I probably shouldn't,

though.

Your parents would kill me.

It's filled

with teenaged rebellion

and profanity...

Used to be banned

in some high schools.

Saved my life

when I was your age.

Don't tell anyone

I gave you that.

I can't take

deceiving her anymore.

This weekend, I'm going

to tell her who I am.

And you think that

a roaring fireplace

is going to take

the sting out of it?

No, but I think that it's

going to help her know

how much I care about her.

That's a great idea.

Okay...

So...

You all ready?

I've left you

some instructions.

Okay...

Do not forget to get

my line notes scanned

and to Leon mansard

by 5:
00 P.M...

The loan documents need

to get to first national...

And then we need

to reschedule

the conference call for...

Yup. Thank you.

Yup.

I can't go.

I have too much going on.

I can't, I can't...

He's going

to have to understand.

Everything

will be fine here.

Trust me.

Maybe it's time

you listen to your heart,

and not that big dumb brain

of yours.

In that case,

I'm telling him the truth

this weekend,

if it's the last thing I do.

Okay... yup.

- Debbie!

- Hi!

Yeah.

Right over here.

- Hi!

- Hi.

- Good to see you!

- Good to see you.

I had

an umbrella somewhere.

Okay!

That's roxy.

Hi, roxy!

My goodness!

Hi, Samuels.

It's Charles.

What do you think?

It's... amazing.

It's perfect.

Wow...

Oh, my gosh...

We're here

oh, my goodness...

Jack, this place is great.

Debbie, there's...

There's something

I have to get off my chest.

Okay.

What is it?

The truth...

Is I'm actually...

I'm not really...

Okay, I'm not really good

at expressing my feelings

with my words.

I get tongue-tied

when I'm around you.

So I got you this.

Oh, Jack...

It's not a big deal,

really.

It's just a...

A heart!

I know

it's corny, but...

No!

No one's ever gotten me

a heart before.

It's engraved

on the back.

"Always, Jake."

What? What does it...

Does it say that?

Yeah!

- No!

- Yeah!

No! Oh, they

messed it up!

Yeah!

Okay, I'm taking

it back.

No, no!

Please, no.

- Give it to me.

- No, I like it.

Please don't take it back.

You're not supposed

to be laughing!

Give it to me.

- It's funny! It's funny.

- Give me that.

No. No, no, no!

Give it... whoa!

Oh, wait.

Ooh...

Here's hot cocoa.

Thank you.

Jack...

There's something

you need to know about me.

Okay.

What is it?

Okay, I...

I can't cook at all.

I mean...

Not even popcorn.

Okay.

We can survive on

peanut butter sandwiches

if we have to.

Is there anything else?

I'm...

I'm not...

I'm not...

Okay,

no, no, no, stop.

I don't care

what you're not.

I care what you are...

And you are

what every guy

would dream of.

You're beautiful,

and smart,

and fun.

I'm fun?

But those are just

the obvious things.

What I'm talking about

is all the

undefinable things,

all the little things

that come together

to make up who you are.

Your essence.

Your soul.

Your gist.

My gist?

I'm just saying,

this can't go on.

I'm going to tell her

during breakfast.

You agree with me, right, girl?

You've got to tell him.

Right now.

Good morning,

sleepy head.

I was getting scared

roxy and I

were going to have

to eat this all ourselves.

Jack, I...

Wow.

I don't deserve all this.

No, I was

just thinking

you...

You deserve better.

No, Jack...

Listen...

Should probably

get that.

It's been ringing all morning.

'Kay.

It's my boss.

Got to take it.

Okay.

Hi.

What's wrong?

Don't panic.

The edinger deal.

I knew something was falling

through the cracks.

It's your father.

He's had a heart attack.

What?

He's all right.

It was very minor,

but they just want

to keep him in for a few days

for observations and tests.

What hospital?

Chicago west.

That's Jack's hospital.

Okay, I'm on my way.

Thanks.

I'm so sorry.

I have to go.

My dad's in the hospital.

What happened?

He had a heart attack.

Where? What hospital?

Um...

University of Chicago.

Okay, I'll get ready.

Okay. Thank you.

You didn't tell him yet?

I didn't have

the opportunity.

Well, what happens

when he wants

to look in at your dad

and there's no

"Mr. celvin" checked in?

I lied again.

I told him

we were at a different hospital.

And if he sees

you here visiting?

He is in

labor and delivery.

That's a different wing.

He has no reason

to be over here.

I'm looking for my father,

Edward Benson.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Slow down, honey.

Edward Benson,

please?

He's in room 505.

Oh, daddy.

I'm fine, kitten.

Really, I am.

- Yeah?

- Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry

I wasn't here for you.

Katherine!

We've been frantic

looking for you.

- Where have you been?

- I was...

Out of town.

That's unlike you

to go off without telling us.

Well, enough about me.

What do the doctors say?

They think

it's very minor.

They just want

to keep an eye on him.

I thought it was indigestion.

He's as fit as a fiddle.

He had a heart attack, Charles!

He could have died!

I'm sorry, folks.

The doctor ordered another ecg

to check

Mr. Benson's heart function.

Okay, I'll be here

when you get out, okay?
