conflict of interest.

This strategy was

brought to my attention

by our colleague,

Dr. Stonehill,

in rather crude terms.

This will allow the sibling trial

to proceed

for its purely

scientific value.

Ah.

Have your desk cleared out

by the end of the day.

Kent, what's with the...

Oh...

I wanted to make

sure you didn't

punch me out before

I could tell you.

Well, um...

...thank you very

much for firing me.

My pleasure.

I never liked you.

Likewise.

Hey, you guys,

bring anything you want extra...

Mom! Mom!

What?

Can I bring the bow and arrow?

Yes, yes.

Hey!

(CHUCKLES)

John, what...

What?

We have a usable enzyme

that's ready for clinical trials.

When? When will it be ready?

Megs and Patrick start their infusions

before the end of this month.

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

John.

Hey, John, Daddy's here.

Oh, hi, guys.

JOHN JR.:
Hey, Dad.

Why is Mommy sad?

Not sad, baby, so happy.

So happy.

Why is Mommy being so weird?

Well, it's because

we got the special medicine

for you, Megs,

and for you, Patrick,

and you're gonna

get it really soon.

(GASPS) JOHN JR.:

That's great!

So, who wants to

push the button?

JOHN:

Megs, Patrick, you ready?

When will we know if it's working?

It'll be a while, honey.

It's not pink.

Excuse me?

Your Uncle Bobby is here.

Huh?

I don't know.

You can go back if you like.

Okay.

John.

Uncle Bobby.

They wouldn't let me in

unless I was family.

Some things for the kids.

Thanks.

Sleeping, huh?

Hey, thanks for coming.

I'm a scientist.

Gotta track the experiment.

JOHN:
I wish your enzyme was

the one that passed the test.

But the one the kids are getting,

it's the right one, right? I mean...

It's gonna help them.

Yeah, you guys have done

everything humanly possible.

We just have to see

what the tests show.

JOHN:

You and I have had our differences,

and I just want you

to know something.

I want you to know that...

Yeah.

Don't interrupt.

Okay.

I want you to know

that I appreciate everything

that you've done

for Megs and Patrick,

and I'm never gonna forget it

for the rest of my life.

Not gonna kiss me, is he?

I will restrain him.

Don't tempt me.

PATRICK:
Daddy loves SpongeBob,

Daddy loves SpongeBob.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

MEGAN:
Stop!

PATRICK:
Daddy loves SpongeBob.

Guys?

(CHUCKLES)

What's going on?

What's so funny?

(CHUCKLES)

What are you laughing at?

What are you laughing at?

Sugar.

It's a sugar high.

The enzyme's breaking down

the sugar in their muscles.

The medicine's working?

Yeah.

John.

Megs!

Hi.

(KIDS CONTINUE LAUGHING)

(CHUCKLING)

(CHANGE THE WORLD PLAYING)

AILEEN:
John, drive safe!

JOHN JR.:
Enjoy the ride!

Rock and roll!

Bye! Have fun.

Bye!

So you could see the truth

That this love I have inside

Is everything it seems

But for now I find

It's only in my dreams

That I can change the world

I would be the sunlight

in your universe

You would think my love

was really something good

Yes!

Yeah! Yeah!

Change the world

Baby, if I could change

The world
