VIRAL:

...cases were confirmed today,

according to state-run...

...quarantine alert and mobilized

a national epidemic prevention...

...showing signs of

the contagious illness

will receive special

treatment here.

...the Department

of Health has issued

a nationwide quarantine

and mobilized a national

epidemic prevention plan.

With concerns

that chinese authorities

may not be telling

the whole story,

American officials are

tightening screenings

at all points of entry

to the United States.

We'll hear about

the political pressure

around this issue later,

but first, Julia... begins

our coverage from Dallas.

...believed to be caused by

a small, wormlike parasite,

the public is calling

the condition "worm flu."

Symptoms include

increased appetite,

fever, bloody cough and,

in some cases, seizure.

While this is scary,

it's not like the common cold.

Worm flu can only be spread

through the transmission

of blood.

Nevertheless, U.S. officials

are on alert.

President Barack Obama issued

the following address

this morning.

We will continue to closely

monitor the situation.

We're also going to be working

on protocols, to do additional

passenger screening both at the

source and here in the United States.

All of these things

make me confident

that here in the United States,

at least, we...

the chances of an outbreak,

of an epidemic here

are extraordinarily low.

You creepin'?

-No.

-Do you have food?

-I don't know. Maybe.

-Please?

Yoink!

-Help yourself.

-I cannot stop eating today.

I polished off a whole row of

Double Stuf this morning.

It's ridiculous.

-Hey.

-Hey, Evan.

"Hey, Evan."

-I didn't say it like that.

-Yeah, you did, though.

Seriously, you better step it

up before you lose your, like,

-new girl glow.

-Really? How?

Well, like, show

some boob, like...

-I don't have any b*obs.

-You don't.

Maybe's, like, an ass guy.

It's not that big of a deal.

We're gonna be late, come on.

God.

God...

Now, you supposed to be

Little Miss Biology.

Don't tell me you afraid

of a dead frog.

Get him, girl.

God.

It looks like it's throwing up

-from its neck.

-Come on.

Em... do it.

I can't do this.

That is nasty.

You know what helps me

when I'm feeling squeamish?

Gum.

I'll leave it right

there for you.

Thanks.

Gum.

Lucifer?

You and the devil

on a first-name basis?

Unfortunately, yes.

Hey.

Em...

Thanks for getting me

in trouble again.

Calm down.

Em, wait up.

What?

You're the bestest sister

in the world.

If that's the hand that just

touched your vag,

I'm gonna kill you.

It was this one.

Dude!

All right, I'll see you.

-Bye, Emma.

-Hey.

-So you're Stacey's sister.

-Yep.

I'm Emma.

So... I am CJ.

-I've heard about you.

-That's tight.

What happened to your foot?

Yeah.

I broke it.

How'd you break it?

Shark attack.

It looked a little something

like this.

Come over later?

-Yeah, I'll try.

-All right.

Emmalicious, stay vivacious.

Thank you.

Peace out.

Real class act.

Just mixing with the locals.

You should try it sometime.

-Hey! What's his name?

-Evan, why?

-Evan!

-What are you doing?

Be a good neighbor.

Offer him a ride home.

-Don't!

-You want a ride?

-Taking the bus.

-Yeah, 's taking the bus.

It's, like, the last

stop. It's gonna take forever.

We insist. Don't we, Em?

Yeah.

Of course.

Why are you being such a b*tch?

'Cause you don't have balls.

I have balls.

-Hey, Dad.

-You guys ready?

-Shotgun.

-Hey.

-Hey.

-No way.

Dad, we're giving Evan

a ride home.

-Hey, honey, you're on speakerphone.

-Hi, kids!

-Hi, Mom!

-Hey, Mom.

When are you coming back?

I have a meeting

in Kansas City tomorrow.

-Hopefully, the day after.

-I thought we were gonna

finish unpacking this week.

Please, Michael,

let's not get

into this right now.

All right. Fine.

I love you.

-Gotta go.

-Bye, Mom.

Bye.

You liking it? Here?

Shadow Canyon?

Yeah, I guess. It's different.

From Berkeley? Yeah, I'll bet.

You know, they say that moving

is supposed to be the third

most stressful life event,

after death and divorce, so...

Hey, Evan...!

-Seriously?

-Girls, stop it.

-She kicked my seat.

-Stop being a jerk.

Well, mind your own business

and maybe I won't have

-to kick you.

-You guys just cut it out, please.

Seriously,

why are you being a jerk?

She's being a jerk.

Just cut it out, all right?

You are!

Just leave me alone!

Stacey...

Hey, Mr. Toomey.

Hey, Stacey.

I'm Stacey; she's Emma.

Shoot.

It's gonna take me

a couple of minutes

to get all that down.

Well, it's easy to remember.

I'm the pretty one.

Mr. Drakeford,

thanks for the ride.

Any time, Ev. Take care, bud.

Bye, Emma.

Bye.

Hey, Evan?

Tell your dad I put

his pliers in the mailbox.

It's not my dad, but okay.

Alan?

I can't find my car keys.

Hey, there.

I better go

before she has a breakdown.

Have a good one.

-All right. Bye-bye.

-Bye.

Good luck.

Stacey...

what did I tell you

about texting at the table?

Do you see me typing?

I see you looking at your phone.

Okay, you want to play

"happy family"?

How are things with Mom going?

You're excused.

Thanks.

You okay?

No, my mom's been, like,

coughing in my face.

That sucks.

All right, you should have it.

Okay, lady in an elevator.

Watch.

This is some chinese sh*t.

My God. What's doing?

Just coughed blood on her.

Like, I feel like

that's super rude.

Is that real?

Hold on.

What are you doing?

Emma, did you really

just leave me

because I said I feel gross?

Hang on.

Emma!

-Don't be a jerk friend.

-I gotta go.

Emma!

Crap.

Where are you going?

I'll be back in a minute.

Why are you calling me

when I'm three feet away?

Your note said to call you.

-Okay.

-Could we make this quick?

I'm on a really

limited call plan.

Yeah. Sure.

Hello? Emma?

She hung up on me.

What have we got here?

Hey...

Bill, this is Emma.

She lives right here.

We just... we live right here.

It's nice to finally

meet you, Emma.

Likewise.

Now I can see why Evan's got

a little spring in his step.

Okay, Bill.

I'll be in in a minute.

Looks like

I'm getting the boot.

Hey, now don't go breaking

this little baby's heart, okay?

He is... Look at him,

he is sensitive.

-He is a...

-An a**hole.

Yeah.

Kind of, yeah.

Good night.

Government officials

do not believe there is a threat

to the United States,

in spite of medical exp...

Good night, Dad.

Night, sweetie.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah.

Is everything okay

with you and Mom?

Things just seem

pretty weird lately.

I'm sorry.

I get laid off,

I go from teaching PhD

candidates to high school kids,

and, no offense, it's just...

I know it hasn't been easy

on you and your sister.

Right?

New school, new friends,

new house.

Things will be fine,

sweetie, okay?

Yeah, I guess.

Come here.

I love you, kiddo.

I love you too.

Good night, sweetie.

Good night.

That does hurt!

Okay, what is it

on a scale?

-What is it on a scale?

-It's just a six.

-Nasty.
