during the next 24 hours

as the jet stream heads south into the gulf.

These temperatures will be highly unusual.

Hello? Rose?

Lucky?

I got something for you, Rose.

Rose?

And now let's give a banging

welcome to our very sweet

but very naughty Scarlet.

Merry Christmas, Scarlet.

Yeah.

Oh, the werewolf

the werewolf

Comes a stepping along

He don't even

break the branches where he's gone

Once I saw him

in the moonlight

when the bats were flying

I saw the werewolf

and the werewolf was cryin'

Cryin' nobody

nobody

nobody knows

nobody knows

how I loved the man

as I teared off his clothes

Cryin' nobody, no

nobody knows my pain

when I see that it's risen

that full moon again

For the werewolf

the werewolf

have sympathy

For the werewolf

Somebody like you and me

And only he goes to me

Man, this little flute I play

All through the night

Until the light of day

and we are doomed to play

For the werewolf

For the werewolf

Have sympathy

For the werewolf

Come on!

Come back.

Where you going?

Well, let's hear it for Scarlet.

She is just waiting for that big bad wolf.

And it might as well be you.

Dancers only.

I need to talk to Rose.

To Scarlet, I need to talk-

Which part did you not understand?

I need to talk to Rose.

I need to talk to Rose, come on!

Why'd you leave?

You didn't even leave a note.

Men usually leave me first.

I was just trying to save you the trouble.

Well, you're wrong about me.

Why did you come today?

I came for you.

I'm a single mother with a kid in a coma,

and I make my living by

taking my clothes off.

I'm a klutz, and I spill everything.

I work with the dead.

I play with puppets.

I've never had a real girlfriend in my life,

and I get nervous around

people, which triggers my asthma.

Don't do this to me.

I'm trying not to.

Just promise me one thing.

When tomorrow comes,

everything's gonna be okay.

Everything's gonna be okay.

I'm not playing games with you.

Fine, I'll get it myself.

Give me my money.

Tell me how I look.

Because I am feeling so glamorous tonight.

Give me my money.

Give me my money!

You're no fun.

Go and sit down.

Sit down.

I want you to...

take your wig off.

Just do it.

Now...

I want you to wipe off your makeup.

Just wipe it off.

I like where this is going.

Don't I look beautiful?

Tell me I look beautiful.

You said you wanted to be flawless.

With this-

this money, you can make that life-

that part of your life- perfect.

Give me the gun.

What?

Give me the gun.

You want to die, right?

I can help you.

I understand what you want.

Please.

Give me the gun.

I want to help you.

That night when you asked

me to take your life,

I didn't understand why.

Now I do.

I understand everything now.

I found that picture in your car.

And I couldn't help but think about you,

how lonely you must

feel inside without love.

Do you want love in your life?

Yeah.

Then open your heart.

Hey.

What are you doing?

You know...

I used to love a man once.

And I gave him my heart.

I gave him my soul.

I gave him my love.

But that wasn't good enough for him.

That piece of sh*t wanted a real woman.

He wanted me to give him something

that I could never give him.

So he left me.

Who's gonna love me, big daddy-o?

God!

At your service, ma'am.

Does it fly?

Faster than the speed of sound.

Wonderful.

I will take a one-way

ticket to Paris, please.

All right.

- Here we go.

- Okay.

Come on.

Whoo!

Whoo!

Did you get all your

Christmas shopping done?

Oh, no, I'm gonna be shopping

at the gift shop tonight.

Well, then, there's that.

But the holidays kind of get you down

when you see something like this.

Yes, they do.

Poor kid.

Doctor's don't hold much hope for him.

I don't even know how

she's gonna pay for all this.

I mean, come on. She's a stripper, you know?

They call it exotic dancer.

Get the doctor now.

We moved him to the code room.

Heart rate was climbing fast.

Oxygen saturation well below 90%.

This sounds like pulmonary hemorrhage.

Call pulmonary and see

if they can do a scope.

What do we have?

Looks like massive PE,

and his right ventricle

is starting to give out.

Tell blood bank we need 3 units now.

Sir, you can't be in here.

Wait, wait, what's going on?

- Sir, are you a relative?

- Yeah, he's my grandson.

You need to go down to the waiting room.

It's down the hall to the left, please.

Wait, wait, is he gonna be okay?

We're trying everything we can.

- Trust us.

- Did you contact his mother?

We are trying to locate her right now.

Please. A doctor will be right with you.

Nurse, will you take

him to the waiting room?

We're doing everything we possibly can.

Why are you doing this to me?

Why?

My only sin is love.

We do not quit until

his condition stabilizes.

- Am I clear?

- Yes, doctor.

Increase dopamine to 15.

Someone pick up the damn phone.

ICU.

He's in V-tach.

They can't find his mother.

Taxi, taxi, wait!

Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Hey, stop!

Please, I need a ride. It's an emergency.

I got to find my daughter. Please wait.

Stop, stop!

Stop, please, I got to find my daughter.

I got to find my daughter.

Please, please, it's an emergency.

I need to help her.

Go to 120.

Okay, 3, 2, 1, clear.

For I believe.

Helped by unbelievers.

Go to 240.

Rose!

Rose, where are you?

Rose.

Rose!

Clear.

Again.

Clear.

I guess it's not coming after all, the rain.

I was looking forward to it.

Mind if I join you?

If you wish.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Were you expecting someone?

No, I just- I just like sitting alone.

Most of us have forgotten

how pleasurable it can be.

What is your name?

Diana.

Charlie.

Nice to meet you, father.

No, please.

Could you just call me Charlie?

Is that how we first met?

Exactly.

I was even wearing this red coat, remember?

How could I forget that?

You looked beautiful.

Charlie.

Yeah?

It's not your time yet.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'll be right here waiting for you.

My God, I love you.

I never stopped loving you.

Father?

Father Bishop?

Father Bishop, what are you doing here?

Are you returning to us?

God bless you, sister.

God bless you.

I didn't call last night because I-

I wanted to believe

that everything was gonna be all right.

I'm so sorry, baby.

I love you, sweet pea.

Let it go!

Hey!

There it is.

Rose? Thank God I caught you.

I need you to sign this.

It's the receipt for your hospital bill.

Everything's been paid for.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, a gentleman came in last night

and paid all the hospital bills.

He wanted to remain anonymous.

I'm sorry about Billy.

He left this for you.

So you have any room

left for a slice of pie?

No, sorry, I'm

- I'm full.

I have to say,

you look really good this morning.

Thanks.

You might want to know

that my ex-husband and I,

we tried to talk, but who were we kidding?

And I don't know if you have plans tonight,

but I've got a brand-new

dress and nowhere to go.
