Hi, honey.
Hi.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Dr. Shapiro to radiology.
Dr. Shapiro,
please report to radiology.
- Hey, Joel. I'm Les, man.
- Pleasure.
Sorry I'm late, man.
Man, these people around here got
Broke your neck, huh?
I was hoping
no one would notice.
That halo's
a dead giveaway, man.
How'd it happen?
Hiking accident.
Damn!
Out enjoying nature.
So, what do you do
for a living, Joel?
I'm a writer.
Is that right?
I'm a Stephen King man myself.
You like him?
He's fast.
Yeah, he's something else, man.
You got your hands?
It's all right, man. Don't sweat it.
They got computers, right?
You can type with your tongue.
Les!
Cincinnati trails 3-1.
They push one run across.
Three-one delivery...
Baby's comin' home
Les!
Be right back, man.
I am!
I am!
I am!
Les, I am!
Les, Vernon's calling you.
Yeah, thanks a lot.
Maybe I oughta teach him your name.
Joel, this is Rosa.
Rosa, this is Joel. Hi, Joel.
Les! See, the way it
works around here...
Is she's got the certificate,
but I really do all the work.
Don't listen to him.
He's always complaining.
Just stating the facts, ma'am.
Just stating the facts.
I am!
Hey, Jimmy, how ya doin'?
Mr. Gibson, hope they
had you up walking.
Oh, you know they did.
Rosita, Rosita,
eres tan bonita.
Victor! Flirting
in front of your wife?
Shame on you.
Um, everybody,
say hello to Joel.
He'll be with us for a while.
I am!
and he sends me
f***ing candy, mom.
They look really
expensive, Bloss.
Did you see the card?
The card is really nice.
Mommy, what do you want? You want me
to send him a f***ing thank-you note?
Les, I am!
I'm here, Vernon.
You'll get used to it.
I'll go get your bed.
Les!
Yeah, look, I just wanna
talk to my woman.
A man has got a right to talk
to his woman, doesn't he?
No, I don't wanna hold!
Sh*t, I'm... sh*t. I am!
I'm gonna f***in' kill you, Vernon,
if you don't shut the f*** up!
I'm gonna slap you silly
if you don't shut the f*** up.
He does it just
to bother me, mom.
Rosa, we got to do something about these
phone people. I can't even call my woman.
I know, Raymond.
Well, it's frustrating.
Rosa! I need you in 57 right now.
Just a second.
If you need anything, just holler, okay?
I'll be back.
Mom. Mom, I'm interested
in stories, okay? What?
I am! I am!
Ready to put you through.
It's about time.
What the hell y'all doing
over there, playing dominoes?
There's no need
for sarcasm, sir.
I am!
Signorelli's pizza.
Gotta put you on hold.
Now this is ridiculous.
Mama, please, look.
Did you get the lawyer?
Well, I tell ya, I tried, Bloss, but I couldn't
get that blond off the phone today.
Did you know she's going out
with that Arthur again?
Yeah, mom, you told me.
I did? I told you?
You told me.
She's sleeping with an army a week,
mom! And she's still
leading the man on.
Mom, look, we gotta get this
lawyer thing arranged, mom.
Les!
I swear to God, Vernon!
Got you in the halo, huh?
Yeah, man, I call that thing
a crown of thorns.
I thought they was gonna screw
that thing right into my brain.
How you doing? My name is Raymond hill.
My friends call me Ray.
Joel. Nice to meet you, Joel.
Nice to meet you.
Oh, this here?
Yeah, well,
crazy man chewed it off
in a fight.
But that was in my lawless days.
Look, Joel, if you need anything...
glass of water, something
from the snack bar, Les!
Anything like that...
you just call on me, okay?
- Thanks.
- All right.
It's a hard knock,
isn't it, buddy?
Yeah, but one thing you got
Is that God got his plan.
Now take me, for instance.
I mean, I got a wife, a beautiful child.
I was treatin' 'em bad, you
know... lyin', cheatin', drinkin'.
I guess God just slowed me down now so I
can appreciate 'em. Know what I mean?
I am, Les, I am!
Goddamn!
Pile of brain sludge!
Les!
Les, I am.
That was not nice.
I should get you out of bed...
And make you apologize
to that poor man right now.
Hey, hey, there you are.
How you doing? Raymond hill.
My friends call me Ray.
Hi, I'm Anna.
Well, it's nice to meet you, Anna.
You two are married, huh?
No, we're friends.
Oh, excuse me. I saw the ring.
And I just...
I'm married.
You are?
Oh, right, right.
How is Donald?
David.
His name is David.
Oh, I gotcha. Yeah, Raymond
hill understands these matters.
Ooh! You're a lucky man
there, Joel.
A very perceptive guy.
Yeah.
Friends, huh?
Well, I like you.
I'm back, gentlemen.
Boy, did we miss you, nursey.
Love you too, Bloss. Hey, we're gonna
have that bed in five minutes.
I won't move.
Mr. Gibson,
ready to get in bed?
Oh, you know I am.
Let's do it.
I went over a couple of chapters, but you
don't wanna start back so soon, do you?
There's not much else to do.
I brought you...
These.
Kinda quiet in here, isn't it?
Yeah, very unusual.
Yeah.
Very unusual.
Be right back.
Thanks.
Sh*t.
Vernon's not breathing.
Call the code.
Pulse?
He's back.
Okay, respiration is spontaneous.
Let's get him to I.C.U.
What are you thinking?
Did you tell Donald?
David?
Yeah, of course I did.
I mean, about us.
I'm going to.
I should go.
It's late. Okay?
Good night.
Anna.
Hmm?
You seem to be taking
all this rather well.
Oh!
Sleep well.
If he died, I mean,
there could be murder charges,
then we'd have to be called
in as witnesses. Bullshit.
It's not bullshit.
That's the truth.
You know this hospital
Take care, beautiful.
Good night.
At least, manslaughter.
Shut up, Raymond.
Well, I think I should be more
depressed than I am, but I'm not.
Why is that?
My mom and my sister came to
visit when I was in intensive,
but I was... I was so high on
morphine, I didn't really notice.
I couldn't really tell who they were, which
pretty much sums up my family, I guess.
It's a nice sweater you've got on there.
Do all shrinks wear sweaters?
I remember Judd Hirsch had a nice
sweater on inordinary people.
I really rely mainly
on my girlfriend in this.
Yeah, she is nice.
She's great.
She's a great girl.
Smart, funny.
Unfortunately, she's married
to someone else, so...
...that he does not know
It's really... it's not my problem.
He's her problem.
And... she's my problem.
And... now there's
this problem, so...
what, uh, what are you
writing there?
Well, you know,
I'm-I'm-I'm hopeful.
I am. I'm hopeful.
Oh, no, no, no.
I'm anticipating a psychological crash.
I have it penciled
into my calendar already.
I think it happens, you know,
next week sometime.
You know, I'm a writer.
That's what I do.
And I don't need to walk
to do that.
So, uh, this is denial,
right, doc?
Hey, Victor.
How you doing?
Bien, bien.
I have five months of this.
Well, it could be worse.
It could be your cooking.
Anna, I never cooked.
I heated.
How we doing, Mr.
Gibson? All right.
