Your Practice is all about patience.

I could have told you about patiences.

Um, should have been a doctor.

No, you've should have

finished high school.

Good point.

- Excuse me, one second.

- Um hmm.

- Every thing's perfect.

- Yeah?

Yeah. You did a fantastic job.

- Thank you.

- No, thank you.

You kidding? I couldn't have

never done this without you.

Not true. You think everyone is

enjoying themselves?

I think so.

Where you in on the surprise?

Absolutely! I think you have the

most awesome guy ever.

Yeah, I do.

- You OK?

- Can she be more obvious?

Oh, please. She's my new assistant.

She was like, all over you.

She did a lot of work putting this whole

thing together, alright?

You should thank her.

Aaaaaggghhhh!!!

Hey! Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, what's wrong? What's wrong?

- She was here!

- Come here.

It's alright, I'm right here.

Every thing's fine, she's OK.

I'm telling you, I'm telling you, Brad,

someone was there.

Alright, she's not here right

now. Look at me.

- Shhhee'ss.

- She's not here now, OK.

Thank you, Michael.

I can't believe you're doing this right

now. The house is full of people.

How dare you treat me like a child,

in front of everybody!

That was not my intention, OK?

Look, I'm doing the best I can right

now, OK? But this is really hard.

These hallucinations that you're having

are becoming more frequent.

Oh, really? What about you and Molly?

OK...

You're being paranoid. There's nothing

between us. That not the issue right now.

Then what is the issue, Brad?

That you're not well enough to cope!

You bastard.

Men...

...impossible.

Do you remember me?

I was Lilly, and you were...

...Daisy. Yeah...

You're very beautiful.

We played together.

We would run outside...

Together.

You're my friend. You helped me...

...when your Dad got mad. When

he yelled at your Mom.

We were best friends.

We still are.

I was your secret.

You're still my secret.

Let me be with you, OK?

It's me, Emma, I'm the person

you've always trusted.

You're not... You're not real.

I'm as real as you want me to be.

No...

...I don't need you...

...I don't want you.

I'm really sorry.

And...

...I lost my temper.

OK?

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

I'm sorry.

I know this is hard for you.

No...

You sure liven up the party a little.

Get some sleep, come on.

Emma, these images...

...these dreams you had as a child...

...how real do they seem?

As if they weren't dreams...

You could talk to her?

Yes, we would play together.

And, when would she appear?

Whenever my Dad yelled at

me, or hurt my Mom.

Whenever I was alone, and I

needed a friend.

And, would she appear after

your parents died?

When you Father killed your Mother,

and then killed himself?

I wondered why my Father didn't

kill himself first.

I don't want to falsely diagnose this. You

have to know I'm not judging you.

I'm here to help you.

Do you have visions now?

Sometimes.

The same little girl, I assume?

Always.

Are you embarrassed by me?

I mean if I were like ugly, or scary,

or bleeding from the eyes.

That would be different. I'm not.

That's the great thing about

an imaginary friend...

...I can be whatever you want me to be.

Hey!

Hey.

You want... you want something

special for dinner tonight?

I'll make dinner.

- You OK?

- I'm fine.

Is... is there someone here with

us, right now?

No!

I've actually had a really good day.

Did you take your medication?

Brad, I'm fine. This is nothing.

It will go away.

Nice. "It will go away?" Now

I'm just a "it"?

By the way, I am loving this dress.

B*tch.

What did you say?

Nothing.

Emma, Emma, come here, come here.

Listen, this is the worst it's ever been...

I don't think you have this under control.

Don't you dare say that.

I can not give you the help

that you need.

Then don't, because this is not helping.

What... what I need, right now,

is some support.

And all you seem to want to

do is commit me.

Nice support. Screw you.

What do you want?

I'm here because you want me to be.

Then make me go away.

Not working, is it?

You need me.

I here because you can't

make it without me.

You're very good.

Thanks.

No, I mean it.

You're really talented.

Where do you get your ideas?

Where they've always been. In my head.

Everyone thinks I'm nuts.

Are you?

- What?

- Nuts.

That's funny.

My imaginary friend wants to

know if I'm nuts.

I can't believe you cooked.

Don't be so mean.

Well I... I just don't know what to say.

Well, you could start by saying that...

...I'm a great chief, and you love me.

Emma, you're a great chief,

and I love you.

How original.

You seem like you're in a better mood.

Your medication must be working.

Yeah, I've had a great day.

It's not just about the medication though.

Doctor.

No, it's only because of the medication,

Emma. You can't do this alone.

I'm not.

Ah... God, you're awesome.

So are you.

How's Emma doing?

- I'm surprised you asked.

- Why? I don't hate her.

Um... Yeah, I need to get this.

OK.

Jonathan?

Yeah, I've been trying to get hold of you.

Yeah, well we need... Emma needs the

power of attorney signed.

That's great. Yeah, I know she'll really

appreciate your help...

...Jonathan. I'm going to call her up right

now and set something up, alright?

OK.

Bye, bye.

See, my Mom was afraid to scream,

because she didn't want to scare me.

So, did she leave him?

Sort of, he killed her.

Em... That must have been

so hard for you.

It's alright.

I'm sorry.

Your touch is just like I remember.

You OK?

I'm fine. Why do you always ask me

that? I'm your wife, not a patient.

Because I care how you feel.

I just want to know that

you're doing better.

I'm better.

How are you still having hallucinations?

Your medications are suppose to be

helping, but it's not, it's not working.

I'm fine.

Yeah? I think you're just too

scared to admit it...

...because you're afraid of what

that might mean.

Shut up and take it, while you can get it.

You can do it.

He always says I may embarrass

him. I'd freak out in public.

That's why you're going

out without him?

You're gonna prove him wrong.

I would like to prove him wrong

about a lot of things.

Go on, it will be easy.

Maybe some, right?

Exactly.

No, you don't need me.

You can do this.

I know you can.

"God, it's like

talking to a moron!

"I asked you one simple question, one

simple thing. In one ear, out the other.

"Call the restaurant, make a reservation.

"God damn it, Grace, I asked

you one simple thing!

"Can you get anything right?"

Mrs. Turner? It's been a long time!

I've been away, but it's... very

nice to be back.

Well, it lovely seeing you again. I

never forget our best customers...

...you're a... still a size 2.

- Uh...

- I have always admired your figure.

So, come on, let me show

you a few things.

I've always wanted to cut it for so

long. What do you think?

I love it.

Uh, I just... I had so much fun!

It's been so long since I could go out...
