but for me, it's really noisy,

I'm trying to work towards

a deadline, I can't concentrate.

Do you think

you could kill the noise?

Yeah, sure!

- I really appreciate it.

- Great, okay.

Hey listen, how ya doin'?

- I'm doin' good.

- You feeling alright?

Yeah, I feel good.

Have you heard about

this new research they're doing

on nanotechnology?

Is it for cancer?

Like, yeah.

No.

You may wanna look into it.

It's pretty innovative

and I think it could be

helpful to you.

Okay.

Listen...

If there's anything you need...

If I can help you with

anything...

I'm your downstairs neighbor,

and I'm there for you and

happy to help you in any way

I can if you need it, so...

Okay, that's nice...

Just knock on the door, let me

know.

- I will.

- Okay.

Anyway, listen, I gotta go.

But best to Aaron alright?

Okay, take care!

- Okay!

- Bye.

- Lily!

- God!

- Hi!

- Rochelle!

- How are you?

- How ya doin'?

I'm good.

I haven't seen you in so long.

I know.

I haven't been out in forever.

So what's been going on?

What have you been up to?

This, the show.

Awesome, and it looks great.

It's so cool.

Hey, did you happen to ask them

if they're hiring?

I did,

and there's still nothing,

but as soon as

something comes up,

you're the first person

I'm gonna let know.

Okay, Lily, it looks like you

are positive for the BRCA2 gene.

So, we generally recommend

a prophylactic mastectomy.

Okay, that's not really an

option.

It's totally understandable.

It won't prevent

the other cancers

from developing.

But what it does mean is that

we need to increase surveillance

of the development of breast

cancer. And the other cancers.

So that you need to do a monthly

self-examination, okay?

You need to visit

your doctor every six months,

for them to examine you

to look for

any lumps or abnormal tissue.

You'll need an annual mammogram.

And you'll probably need

a pelvic ultrasound

to screen for ovarian cancer.

- Okay.

- Okay?

The BRCA2 status

does not mean that

you are destined

to develop cancers.

It does increase your risk of

developing a second cancer

quite significantly.

So what we do recommend,

we want to make sure that

all at risk family members

are aware of their status or

the possibility of their status.

So we know that your mother,

when she was diagnosed

with breast cancer,

she got the BRCA testing

and she was negative?

Right.

So this means that you inherited

the gene from your father.

Okay? So we do recommend

that you inform him

and other family members

of the possibility that

they may be BRCA positive.

And especially him because we

know that he is positive.

I don't know...

My dad and I don't really

talk all that much.

Okay, it's totally

understandable.

We do offer a generic letter

notifying family members

of the possibility

of their BRCA status.

The reason why we recommend

it strongly in this case

is that the risk in men

is also significant

for developing

male breast cancer.

Earlier onset prostate cancer,

and pancreatic cancer.

And male breast cancer

often goes undiagnosed

I've been listening to that tape

you gave me all the time.

Yeah? You like it?

Yeah, I love it, it's awesome.

- It's cool, right?

- Yeah.

I feel like it's great.

Yeah, I've been spending

a lot of time at home

labeling all my old tapes

and trying to figure out

which ones are my favorites.

I don't know, I'd like

to do something with them.

I think they're cool.

Well, guess who I ran into

the other day?

Who?

Patrick.

He asked about you.

He did?

Does he know...?

Yeah, he does.

I think that

you should go see him.

Yeah,

but I kind of screwed him over.

Yeah, you did!

You're not the first artist

ever to f*** up, I don't think.

- I'm not?

- Chances are!

Other people f*** up besides me?

What are you doing on Friday?

- On Friday?

- Yeah, at night.

Night? Oh! Night time, no.

I'm really busy.

Seriously, there's a movie

coming on I wanna watch

and I bought some new jammies,

I really wanna break 'em in.

Dylan's having people over

and I think you should come.

- Aw, Dylan!

- Yeah.

- I haven't seen him in forever.

- I know.

And he loves you...

He's a great guy.

I was trying to get Lily to come

to Dylan's party on Friday.

- Yeah, you should go.

- Are you going?

No, but I doubt your boyfriend

would have a problem with it,

seeing as how he's tucked

in about eight every night?

John!

I'm not supposed to...

Don't listen to him!

No, he's not that...

you're not that far off, yeah.

8:
30, it's a Friday night.

Give him some credit.

That's when "Golden Girls"

is finished.

- Yeah...

- Okay, that's enough!

- Okay I'm done!

- That's enough.

- Leave us alone please!

- I'm will.

Bye! So great to see you!

I'm sorry.

- Hey, no...

- He has some problems.

You know, I like mysteries.

I don't know whether you know

or not, but these guys know.

I really like mysteries and

this library down here

on the corner...

One day I was wondering, why

are there so few mysteries here?

I have some of my favorites:

Simenon, Ruth Rendell,

P.D. James, those people...

And I realized, I was looking

through Literature one day,

those same names

are showing up in Literature!

Why do you have a P.D. James

that was published in 1980

in Mystery, and one that was

published in 1983 in Literature?

It doesn't...

she's the same writer.

And they don't seem

to know anything about it

or how it got that way...

Now there's a case to be made

that some writers

wrote better books than...

Graham Greene

wrote entertainments.

And maybe they're a little less

than some of his bigger books

but...

I don't think they deserve

a different classification.

Yeah...

- Frustrating.

- Yeah, yeah.

I don't know, it's useless

to talk to them, they don't...

So congratulations

are going to be in order soon.

Your treatment's almost over,

correct?

That is correct, sir!

Aaron, any big plans

for this young lady

when she wraps things up?

We talked about maybe

going away next month.

What did you do, Nell when

you finished your treatment?

Gosh, let's see...

I think that we just had

a nice quiet evening at home?

Neil?

I don't remember.

Oh Neil, I couldn't help

but notice the plants

in the corner of the room.

Really livens this place up...

That was

your mother's contribution.

I let her have that corner

for herself.

Oh wow, you got a whole corner!

Your mother's very expressive.

Yes, I am.

I think they just really add

so much life to the room.

I'm thinking about putting some

over in that window area.

- Two, I thought...

- Wow.

I think this is enough for now.

Well, we will see about that.

Won't we?

Would anyone like

some more coffee?

I'm good. Thank you.

- I'll have some, thanks.

- Okay.

Be right back.

Yeah?

Let's see whatcha got.

We were able to retrieve

five eggs during the procedure.

As I explained last time,

we like to get 15 eggs,

but five viable eggs is great.

Okay?
