Sublime

What, George?

What is it, baby?

I was...

I was falling.

It was so vivid.

- Did you ---?

- No.

- You know what they say.

- Yeah.

- If you fall in a dream...

- And you hit bottom...

- ...you'll die.

- ...you won't wake up.

That's why you wake up

before you land.

It's the body-- The brain's way

of protecting yourself, right?

Maybe.

Maybe?

Maybe people who die in their sleep...

...they're actually dreaming of falling...

...and they land.

You know, I mean,

they hit bottom in the dream...

...but they really die.

But you didn't.

No.

I'm alive.

Happy birthday.

It's tomorrow.

You're worried about tomorrow.

No, I'm not.

- It's a routine procedure.

- I know. I know.

- It'll be fine.

- Right. I know.

And tonight...

- What?

- Nothing.

Come on. You know

I'm gonna be miserable. What?

Everyone's coming.

They're coming for you.

You're 40 years old.

"ColoClear."

"Polyethylene Glycol.

If you're drinking the solution

before your procedure...

...you may consume clear liquids,

decaffeinated cola, tea, broth...

...gelatin." Gelatin? Swell.

"Drink one full glass of the solution

rapidly, every 10 minutes...

...until the entire gallon is fin--"

The entire gallon? F***.

"Bowel-- Bowel evacuation

will begin promptly."

All right, then.

Forty.

To you, bud.

Today is the first day

of the rest of your life.

Happy f***ing birthday.

For he's a Jell-O good fellow

For he's a Jell-O good fellow

So rich, so creamy, so mellow

That nobody can deny

All right. Make a wish, George.

Come on.

Count them candles.

Count them again.

- Blow. Blow, baby, blow.

- Count those candles, George.

- Come on. Here we go.

- Making a wish. I'm making a wish.

All right. Come on, dude.

Good luck, Daddy.

- Blow. Blow.

- Come on.

One more, one more.

- Yes.

- Hey.

You've all heard the news.

George has announced...

...that one of you is gonna betray him

in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Andrea, you need to

raise your hands in alarm.

Chloe, you're John. Thomas, lean closer

to Frank as though you're swooning.

Who's Judas?

I'm Judas.

Jenny is Judas.

How are we to interpret that?

- All right, come on.

- Everybody, freeze.

Come here.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

I'm fine.

How about you, Judas?

You gonna betray me, Judas?

Why would I do that?

Wasn't tonight good?

Yes.

Tonight was perfection.

Hello.

Mr. Grieves, I'm Zoe.

- Hi, Zoe, I'm George.

- Hi, George.

If you'll just undress and slip into these.

We're gonna take your temperature,

blood pressure and respiratory rate.

- Okay.

- We're gonna hook you up to an EKG...

...with a couple patches on your chest,

and put a pulse oximeter on your finger.

- Okay.

- Dr. Sharazi will be in to talk to you.

In the meantime, just put your clothes

on the bed. I'm gonna prep your IV.

Go on. Drop your drawers.

I'm sure she's seen it all.

So any problems with your prep?

No. No problems at all. Safe to say

there was nothing left to hit the fan.

That's funny.

I've never heard that one.

- You're kidding?

- No. I've heard:

"Everything came out okay."

Right, because of the-- You know.

Welcome to the Outback Steakhouse.

Nurse.

Thank you.

- So, Mr. Grieves...

- Grieves.

- Grieves.

- I beg your pardon.

Okay, Grieves.

Very good. I'm Dr. Sharazi.

Sorry about that.

Yeah, my hands are a little nervous.

No, no. Don't worry.

It's perfectly normal. Me too.

- Mrs. Grieves?

- Jennifer.

I'm his sister.

Well, there seems to be nothing

but confusion around here this morning.

Well, then, with the first day

of construction on the east ward...

...all the computers are down. We even

had some trouble finding your records.

But as we gastroenterologists

are very fond of saying:

"This, too, shall pass."

- Good one.

- George?

- Do you wanna sit down?

- Sure.

- Let us discuss your colonoscopy.

- Okay.

So a colonoscopy

is a minimally invasive...

...endoscopic examination

of your colon.

Do you understand?

Very simply, we use the endoscope...

...to look for polyps or any other

abnormalities inside the large intestine.

- What's that for?

- This is IV propofol.

It's a fairly short-acting anesthetic.

Don't worry.

We'll be monitoring postoperatively

to reverse the sedation...

...and make sure

no complications have occurred.

Okay. We're all set here.

So any questions?

Well, I'm fine, Dr. Sh-- Dr. Sh--

- Sharazi.

- Dr. Sharazi.

- Sharazi.

- Persian.

That's right. I'm from Iran.

But don't worry.

My degree is from Chicago, not Tehran.

- It was either this or drive a cab, right?

- Right. I mean...

Now, you will be here to drive him

afterwards, Ms. Grieves?

Grieves. And I was kidding.

I am his wife.

- She's not my wife.

- Yes, I'll be here.

- George, you can sit down.

- Okay.

If you wanna wait in reception,

I'll get you when we're done.

Fine.

- Let's get you to the exam room.

- Okay.

- See you on the flip side.

- Yeah.

See you.

Oh, my God. I am so sorry.

That has never happened before.

- I'm so sorry.

- Don't worry. A little flesh wound.

Okay. We will get you some antibacterial.

Zoe, neomycin, please.

- And bill me for it.

- I think this will be on the house.

- Okay, George, you with me?

- No.

I'm against you.

All right. I want you to start

counting backwards from 100.

One hundred.

Ninety-nine.

Ninety-eight.

Ninety-seven.

Mr. Grieve, are you okay?

There was a power outage.

All that construction.

But we're back now, emergency power.

I'm so sorry.

I'm Zoe. My name is Zoe.

Jenny-- My wife, Jenny.

She's downstairs, on six.

Sixth?

The sixth floor?

You were moved here to seven after.

This...? This isn't the same room?

I know. They all look the same, right?

How are you feeling?

Are you feeling any discomfort?

My back.

- Is it sore? Should I raise the bed?

- No. Sweating.

- You don't feel warm.

- My back is sweating.

- My back.

- Let me see.

It's wet.

You're wet.

Let me go tell the doctor.

Would you...?

Would you bring my wife up first?

Of course.

Don't you go anywhere.

Now, we don't have to slice it.

We just want to insert the knife...

...right into the top of the potato.

And look, it's really not

a very big incision at all.

And then you push the ends

of the potato toward the center...

...and look at that!

- Sour cream.

- Yeah.

What the f***?
