Captain, huh?

Yeah. Yeah.

Man, I'm too young

to be called grandpa

or pawpaw, or f*** that, man.

I can't believe it, man.

The whole time,

I thought I was...

I thought I was shooting blanks.

Hey, look.

The lord works

in mysterious ways.

Amen.

Is my baby gonna be okay?

I can't really say.

I'm the sonographer,

not the doctor.

I'm here to take a picture

of the uterus,

and when the doctor comes in,

she'll interpret it for you.

Oh. All right.

Take a few deep breaths

in and out for now.

Is that it?

Yes, ma'am.

That's your baby.

I can see it.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, thank God.

Thank God.

Thank God.

Thank you.

Not even a f***ing phone call?!

How stupid can you be?

You know how much this sh*t

is gonna cost us?!

I was bleeding.

What was I supposed to do?

Call your f***ing man!

That's what you're...

my phone is spent!

Then use the f***ing pay phone,

like the old days!

All right.

Look, Mel...

Did they do anything for ya?

Can you tell me that?

Did they give you any pills?

Can you tell me?

I got vitamins.

You got vitamins?

Did they actually do anything?

I saw the baby.

It was alive.

Isn't that good news?

Well, that's great news,

but we already f***ing

knew that, didn't we?!

Now we get to pay $1,500,

or twice that amount

if they send it out to a lab

or did some bullshit tests.

All that money down the drain

just to find out what we already

knew in the first place,

is that you're

f***ing pregnant.

You're an a**hole!

Wow! F***ing news flash

on that one!

We already knew that!

Hello!

Hey, you stop this shouting

or I'm calling the police.

We're having a spat.

We'll keep it down.

Spat? I can hear you

all the way down in 4.

Don't make a federal case of it.

Come on.

Where's the girl?

Where's the girl?!

Right here, sir.

You see that?

No bruises, no broken bones.

All right.

Have a good night.

You heard the lady.

Good night.

Just keep it down, all right?

F***ing idiot.

Uh, that's bad for the baby.

So is screamin' and yellin',

dumb ass.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry, Melissa,

but I've been through

the whole hospital system.

You got to be careful.

I know how these

thieves operate, okay?

Just next time, call me.

I hope there won't

be a next time.

I'm not saying there will be.

Are you still bleeding?

No.

Oh.

I printed these out for you.

Edwin put me on graveyard.

Oh, nice.

Yeah.

The work may affect the

amount of your check,

however, we do not count

the first $65 of earnings

in a month, plus 1/2

of the remainder.

This means we count less

than 1/2 of your earnings

when we figure

your payment amount.

Now, you may still qualify

for other work incentives,

and you'll continue

to receive Medicaid.

Now, there are a lot

of job openings

for the handicapped

in high-tech fields.

...empty fields

with piles of dirt,

but in just two years,

this could be the bay area's

premier shopping center.

This development was proposed

for this site

almost 20 years ago.

After calling it quits

four years ago,

developers are ready

to move forward

with plans for the mall

and university town center

in Sarasota County.

And Manatee County

Hendersen Development Company

plan a $315 million mall

similar to the international

Plaza in Tampa.

Melissa Winters?!

How worker's compensation

and other disability payments

may effect your benefits?

Uh, the windfall elimination

improvisation has it.

We also have a publication in

the government pension offset.

You can get these publications

either from our website...

Mr. Barnes?

Mr. Barnes?

Huh?

Do you have high-tech experience?

You mean like, uh, computers?

That's right.

Nah.

I mean, yeah,

I can get on the Internet,

you know, but I can't

fix them or nothing.

I mean, um,

you know what I fix?

I fix, like, television sets,

electronics, stuff like that,

you know?

Mid-tech, I call it.

All right. Well,

I'm sure there are

some classes in there

for you to update your skills.

You look in there.

And I'll see you next month.

Okay?

Thanks.

Just seemed like

a lot of blood.

Well, I've had patients bleed

their whole pregnancy long

and everything was fine.

I hope that's not me.

It's very rare.

It usually resolves itself

after the first trimester.

You said you had a sonogram.

Is that correct?

Oh, yes, ma'am.

See?

It was kicking its little legs

and punching its little

fists the whole time.

I couldn't hardly believe it.

That's good.

All right.

Excellent.

Thanks.

Would you like

to keep a journal?

I sometimes ask my patients

to do that.

In fact, I had one

patient that told me

she used it to write

letters to her baby.

Oh, okay. Thanks.

So...

Should I bring this back

next time I'm here?

Oh, no.

It's not for me, it's for you.

Oh, okay.

I-I'm sorry.

I thought it was, like, some

kind of homework or something.

The only homework you have

is to take care of yourself.

Eat healthy and no smoking.

Oh, yes, ma'am.

The scratch-off game

with the highest prize

payoff percentage ever!

25 people will become

instant millionaires...

Hey, is this yours?

No, it's okay.

You can have it.

So keep

the winning streak alive,

and play the 25th anniversary

millionaire scratch-off game...

Stop it, Rich.

Excuse me?

Leave me alone!

God damn it. Jesus.

So, why don't you take a nap?

Do you realize that

you're falling asleep?

I'm not. I'm reading.

If you fall asleep again,

then I'm... I'm gonna insist

that you take a nap.

You're asleep again.

Hey, how you doing?

All right.

Let me know

if I can get you anything.

Yep.

Take a nap, babe.

I'll watch the store.

Yeah, go.

Go. Sit.

Take a nap.

I got it.

Hey.

Hey, winters.

You and me need to talk.

Right now.

No, just me and her.

Sure thing. Talk.

Well, apparently

you forgot the rules.

Video camera up there's got

pictures of your boyfriend here

waiting on customers while

you're sleeping on the chair.

Hey, hey.

She was tired, man.

It's no big deal.

It's not gonna happen again.

You, my friend, got to go.

Adios. Goodbye. Right now.

Come on, Edwin.

Hey, it's not safe

for a woman here

all alone by herself at night.

Vivian did it.

Well, I can't speak for Vivian,

but it's not safe for Melissa.

All right, look.

Either he goes, or you both go.

What's it gonna be?

What's it gonna be?!

I'll be outside.

You are so full of sh*t.

Yeah, well, I don't know why

you went and put me

on graveyard.

It's bullshit. I've been

working here eight months.

I'm sick of your lip.

Oh, you're sick of my lip?

What about all the nasty talk

I hear coming out your mouth

all f***ing day long?!

I'm out of here.

Hey, you leave,

you ain't never coming back,

you do not have a job.

You get it?

You know, I'm wondering

if they got a camera

in that walk-in,

taking pictures of you

jerking off,

you nasty man!

All right. That's it.

Off the premises, both of you,

or I'm gonna call the cops!

Get off the premises right now,

or I'll call the cops on you!
