- Will you just take it off?

- It looks really cute.

- Come on.

- We should just see it.

- It looks sweet.

- Take it off...

She's gonna do it!

She's gonna do it!

- Oh my God!

- This is so embarrassing!

I'm not watching you intently.

Yes, I am.

Woah!

- Look at you!

- That looks amazing.

- It's so short!

- So what? It looks incredible!

It used to be so long.

But it's not,

it used to be so long though!

I've been hiding it

while it grows back in.

I don't have a problem...

Look if it makes you feel

better, I'll go out like this.

You have to go out like that!

- Okay.

- Oh my god!

It looks way better on you!

I can't believe

that you wear this wig.

I'm just not...

Never again. Never again.

This is so much...

You're beautiful.

You need to continue wearing

that wig, I'm can say that.

That looks amazing on you.

- That is...

- This wig...

- Seriously!

- I have to say...

I love it on him, are you

kidding me! Put it back on!

Someone is getting laid tonight.

Lemme tell you.

- On the safe bed...

- It could be the wig.

In the safety zone!

I'm gonna f*** this wig.

Oh, you're laughing

at that, right?

Yeah, I think

that's the happiness of it.

That's the being alive of it.

Being born again every day...

Well, you're constantly

being born and dying,

and born, and dying, and born,

and dying and born...

I feel like once you lose that

way of looking at the world,

when you lose that sense of

wonderment about

the things around you,

what do you have left?

Well, you've got...

You've got stocks, you've got

bonds, you got shoes, you got...

And you need

more and more of it.

You know,

you ain't got nothin',

but you got a lot of sh*t.

Dad!

Jeff!

Hi...

Lily.

Hey.

How are you?

I'm good, how are you?

Well, thanks.

Good to see you.

Thank you.

Oh...

I made this for you.

- You made this?

- Yeah.

It's not bad.

You cut your hair,

I almost didn't recognize you.

I think you look better

with longer hair.

Thanks.

So it's been awhile.

Yeah.

It's been three years.

Well, you haven't called me.

Well, you could try calling me

too. Works both ways...

When I didn't hear

from you, I just assumed

you didn't have anything to say.

So that's it?

Three years and you don't have

anything else to say to me?

What do you want me to say,

Lily?

I don't know. How about:

"How's your life been?

"What's been going on?

What have you been up to?

"I really wonder what

my only child has been up to?"

Look, I have a lot of stuff

I need to do today.

Oh, okay.

Was there something you wanted?

Why did you come to see me?

I came to see you

because you're my dad.

I'll show myself out.

Great seeing you.

I'm glad you're well.

Thanks.

- Hello!

- Hi!

So?

Done!

Yeah.

And how do you feel about it?

I don't know yet...

I'm not sure.

Lemme take one last look

at the radiation burn.

I hope we didn't damage you

too badly.

I don't think you did.

I was using the aloe

the whole time so...

- Okay.

- I feel like it did okay.

It looks pretty good.

Mild erythema

but no pustules. That's good.

Good.

It's gonna heal

on its own pretty much,

but it's healing well.

- Yeah?

- Yep.

You're young...

Well, are your big plans now?

I guess just take it

one day at a time.

Smart answer.

So we're going to see you

in about six months...

Okay.

You're gonna go to the front

desk and make an appointment.

- You'll be well.

- Thank you.

- See you.

- Thanks.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- How much is it again?

- Eleven fifty.

- Bonjour!

- Salut!

- How was your day?

- Great.

- You must be happy it's over.

- Yeah.

I'll just take my jacket off,

I'll be right back.

I know you don't want

to celebrate, but I thought

maybe we could go out

for dinner tomorrow?

Maybe grab some sushi?

Yeah, maybe.

I got some good news. I was

offered a job for two weeks

in Paris next month.

It's actually great

because I thought we could

make it coincide

with the trip we were planning.

Have you thought more

about our trip?

Lily, have you thought

more about our trip?

Lily?

- Lily, hey, you're back.

- Yeah.

I don't have too much time,

I have some people in the back.

Can I just steal you

for a second?

Sure.

The other day I came in here,

I asked you for a job,

I have no idea

what I was thinking.

That's not what

I wanted to ask you.

I wanted to know

if you would come by

and take at look at

what I've been working on.

I don't know, Lily, you know...

I know I f***ed up.

And I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I just want you to come by

and take a look.

That's it, just take a look

at what I've been working on.

Alright well, why don't you

give me a ring tomorrow

and we'll see if we can schedule

something for next week.

Yeah?

Yeah, let's give it a try.

- Okay, so, next week?

- Next week.

Yay! Thank you Patrick!

Thank you!
