Okay.

Sorry I can't walk you out.

Okay.

Thanks a lot.

Okay, thank you.

Bye. It was nice to meet you.

Bye, Frannie.

Ever want to watch Law & Order,

you know where I am.

Bye!

Bye.

Hey...

That was good, right?

: You did great.

Okay.

Great.

All right.

Bye.

She's really pretty.

Mm-hmm.

She is nice.

Good. I'm glad you think so.

Yeah, that was good to meet her.

I'm happy you suggested it.

In sickness and in health.

Hmm?

You never really think about it,

but I got to see you...

What you would be like.

It's nice.

I love you so much.

I love you too.

But don't you agree that that's

what is happening?

Like, everybody's gluten-free.

What happened?

All of a sudden

there's like some thing

where all the wheat

in the world has gone bad?

I'm going to test your reflexes.

You have nothing.

You're dead.

Good. That's really good.

That's progress.

Right? That's good.

But, um, you...

You don't have a...

A time frame.

Oh, no, no. It's okay.

Oh, no, no. I don't have that.

Day by day.

That's all I can tell you.

That's all you should

concentrate on.

Right?

I'll race you down the block.

Dr. Leonard!

What?

The comedy is free.

I only charge for this.

Okay, well, you guys take

no-fault insurance, right?

So...

Wait, wait, wait.

When she bought this from you

you took no-fault insurance,

and now, weeks later you just...

What, you just don't anymore?

Okay. Yeah.

Uh, you know what?

Do you have any idea

if there's anybody near you

who sells a model like this that

does take no-fault insurance

that I might be able to call...?

Hello? Did you hang up?

Mother...

Hey, Devon?

Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?

It'll relax you.

Pull.

Oh!

Oh, crap. You win.

Okay, let's do it again.

Pull.

Just lower.

That was lower.

Oh!

How many fingers

am I holding up?

Here, you want to do it?

Come on.

Yeah, I mean,

I think I could do it.

I'm going to get it...

I really...

Don't... Isn't this fun?

Okay, ready?

Come on.

Aah!

So close.

Okay, do it again.

Yeah.

My God, you know what

I would do? I would...

What?

Oh, my God.

That was so awesome.

So good.

Pull.

Oh, sh*t.

I need my hair washed.

I'll do it.

What?

Yeah, why not?

Wait, wait, wait.

Really? For real?

Yeah.

You can't wear

those glasses though.

You... It's not...

That's...

Can we... Oh, God! Jesus!

Sorry. I'm sorry.

Okay. Can I...

Can I just have a...

Yeah.

Thank you.

Are you looking at my b*obs?

No.

Yes, you are!

Jesus Christ!

No.

Such a perv.

Okay, will you just...

Okay, here's what

I'm requesting.

Will you just, like,

scrub a little?

Yeah.

And massage, if you will.

Yeah.

Can you scrub a little harder?

Harder? Okay.

Yeah.

Like I'm at the salon.

This is so dumb.

Holy sh*t.

That feels so good.

Good.

Hi.

Hi.

What?

I need to talk to you.

Oh, my God. What?

I hated being sick.

Well, yeah. Duh.

No.

No.

There was no life lesson,

and I didn't become

like this wise person

who cherishes life.

It was just this hell

that I had to live through.

And I hated it.

It's kind of why I hate my mom.

Because it's still with her.

But...

...I want her

to know you better.

That would be great.

We can Skype her this weekend.

Okay. Okay.

Hey, hurry!

Come on, it's on!

No, I'm cleaning up.

You said you wanted to watch it.

It seems stupid.

You seem stupid.

I...

I got to go.

What?

Um...

if it's okay.

What do you mean?

It's been, uh...

I'm pretty tired.

Oh.

I mean, if it's okay.

It's been a long week.

Sure.

You're all set for the weekend?

Yeah.

No, Mom.

Tilt... Tilt the camera down.

We can't really see you.

She's okay.

Okay.

If you turn on a light...

Ready? This is a little

present for you. Look at this.

Aah!

Yes. Yes!

Hello?

Hey.

How was the weekend?

It was great.

You know, I got to see

some friends, and...

How was yours?

It was good. Yeah.

It was, um...

It felt long.

Yeah, it was long.

And how have you been feeling?

Um, I...

I mean, my... It's...

It's been acting up

a little bit,

but it's... It's not...

It's not terr...

It's not bad.

Okay.

You hungry?

Can I make you some eggs?

No, I'm...

I'm going to make you some eggs.

I want to tell you

something right now.

Please tell me, what do you got?

Since you've driven in here...

Yes. Yes.

Yes.

I'm going to start

calling you Estelle.

Estelle!

Estelle Getty?

Listen, it's not...

It's not my fault that...

Where the f***

did this come from?

Fallon.

Fallon.

That was good point.

By the way, I want to thank you,

because that wheelchair

that she first got me

was a hot mess.

I was like... I ran over

my own toe.

I'm just...

I'm so bad

I just don't even

have to look anymore.

I'm just turning.

I'm just looking at you

and I'm not even looking

at anything else.

What are you doing?

I'll just cover it back up...

You refuse to look at it.

I'm not looking,

but I can play piano.

Shut up!

Eat.

It's so pretty.

That's all right.

Don't eat all the broccoli.

You're going to dinner.

Oh, my God, that's so good.

Good, I'm happy.

Yeah.

It's too hard.

It's no good.

You know, um...

you were right.

About what?

I am a better person

because of you.

I'm never saying that again.

So lock it up in the old brain.

Doesn't matter.

I heard it once.

Never going to live it down.

You're never going

to live that down.

Now you just got

to bend the knee.

Slowly.

I'm going to help you.

Oh. Oh, my God.

You're doing it.

Oh, my God.

Right?

Oh, my God. I'm going to cry!

That's incredible.

Oh, yeah.

I just don't understand.

What happened?

I just... Ah.

I went to the...

The sink for some food.

And I banged it.

I don't know why

you insist on walking around

when I'm not here.

I've asked you not to.

I was hungry, and I just needed

to get out of the bed.

And I'm just... I'm going crazy.

Okay, okay, all right.

We got to go to the emergency

room and get this checked out.

No, no, no, no.

No, you're in pain.

Oh, my God.

I need to just...

Just... To just wait

for the...

The pills to kick in, okay?

Okay, no, you may have actually

reinjured yourself.

I would really like for somebody

to take a look at this.

God, you're like my sister.

Wow.

I'm not going to the emergency room.

Low blow.

Your sister? Really?

Okay, look, I am sorry.

I've just...

I've been in this...

couch... thing... bed

for six weeks.

I know, I know.

But please, don't take that

out on me.

Oh, my God, like you were all

sunshine and lollipops.

No, I was horrible to you.

I was horrible to you.

I don't know how

you put up with it.

I want to run screaming

from this building right now.

You don't even have to worry

that I might die.

No. God know. This is a total

cake walk for me.

And I can't even handle this.

I was so terrible to you.

I was so... I was so angry

and I was so scared.

And I just...

I didn't doubt for one minute

that you wouldn't

be there for me.

And I just...

I can't explain.

How do you even begin to thank

someone for doing that for you?
