Damaged Goods

When are you gonna fix my sink Bob?

When are you gonna pay your rent?

Amanda.

I don't have time for this Richie, I'm late.

Yeah, tell me about, I've been out here waiting for you.

Okay.

What part of we're through don't you get?

Oh, come on Amanda, don't be like that.

No, don't touch me.

Amanda, it's just, I miss you a lot.

Well, you should've thought about that

before you stole the money from my fridge.

So you're breaking up with me

because I borrowed some money from you?

Borrow?

You didn't borrow money Richie,

you stole my vintage jar, my money.

10 Months worth of tips,

you stole it and you bought a guitar.

Hey, that guitar was a steal. I had to act fast.

I mean, would you have given me the money if I'd asked you?

- No. - Yeah, see.

Besides, who keeps their money in a fridge.

You ever heard of a bank?

I don't trust banks.

Right, yeah. You don't trust banks.

You don't trust boyfriends.

I wonder if you even trust yourself enough to love anybody.

Look, I'm gonna pay you back, I promise.

The band is starting to book some gigs,

so I'll just need to come by your place later

and you know, pick up the guitar.

Don't bother, I'm selling it.

What? No, you can't do that.

Sure I can, I paid for it.

Okay.

Okay, I get it.

I'm sorry.

I should have asked you first and I didn't

and now you're mad at me, but you can't sell that guitar.

It's classic.

No, this is classic Richie.

I'm not doing it anymore.

I'll give you a month,

one month to buy back the guitar and then you can keep it.

- A month? - Yeah.

Where am I gonna find that kind of money

in a month?

I don't know. You ever heard of a bank?

Well, well, well, look who decided to show up today.

I know, I'm sorry.

- Mh - hm.

Would you at least like to hear my excuse?

Oh, I heard it.

You heard that?

- Mh - hm.

But please, I don't need any details

unless you're abducted by aliens.

Were you abducted by aliens?

No.

Lucky aliens, but really though,

this late thing is getting to be a habit.

Keep it up and I'll be forced to fire you.

All right.

But you'd still be my friend right?

Oh sure, I'm not getting fired.

All right. Hold down the Fort, please.

I need you to run this to the bank.

Where's Justin?

On a bakery run.

You know when he does that,

he takes a couple of muffins for himself, right?

Well yeah, but I'll sacrifice a muffin or two

for an employee that shows up on time.

Besides, I deduct the cost from his tips,

he hasn't figured it out.

Okay Mands, the refills are done.

I'll try to contain my excitement.

Stop calling me Mands.

Fine.

Amanda, I'm out of here.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Yep, I'm counting the hours.

Don't even think about it Justin.

Excuse me.

What can I get for you?

Are you Amanda James?

Who wants to know?

My name is Lily Stevenson.

I was wondering if you had a minute.

Unless you're selling tin mints, I'm not interested.

Okay, then I will have a cafe latte with skimmed milk.

Is there a place we can talk?

It's about your father.

I don't know where he is.

Last I heard, he was living somewhere upstate.

I know, that's not why I'm here,

Amanda, your father's dying.

So what?

You're here from some law firm trying to settle his estate?

I don't want it, give it to Goodwill.

How'd you find me here anyway?

The cafe's web page.

I hate the internet.

- I'm not from a law firm. - Hank and I are friends.

You and my father are friends?

Yeah.

Actually, if it weren't for Hank, I would be dead right now.

I was an addict and he got me into AA

and just stood by me through two relapses

until I eventually got sober. He never gave up on me.

Lucky you.

He helped save my life.

Okay. Well, what do you want?

Your liver, just a part of it.

- What are you? - The walking dead.

Amanda, your father has a liver disease

and his only chance is to have a transplant.

Look, I don't know how it is where you're from,

but around here

asking a complete stranger for their internal organs

might be construed as, I don't know, creepy.

I know it's terrible to dump all this on you like this,

but I'm desperate.

He's on the transplant list

and he's running out of time.

And you think since I'm his daughter,

that I'd be a donor match?

He didn't have the guts to ask me himself, did he?

He sent you.

He didn't want you involved.

He would be really upset with me

if he knew I was doing this.

Look, I won't even pretend to understand

what caused the rift between the two of you.

Rift?

God, that's such an interesting way of putting it.

I don't want to be rude, but we're closing.

Yeah.

All right.

I'm sorry for wasting your time.

Hey girl scout, 4.75 for the latte.

Of course.

Here you go.

There you go.

FYI, I never said I wouldn't do it.

What?

I didn't say I wouldn't get tested.

Then you will?

I didn't say that either.

Okay, look, here's the doctor's number

and if you do decide to do it,

then just give them a call and they'll set it all up

and thank you for considering it.

Thanks.

Hey stranger.

Scotch rocks?

Am I that predictable?

What are you waiting for?

Pour.

Haven't seen you in here for a while.

The prices you charge,

I'm surprised I can be in here at all.

Well, you still get me to pour your drink.

I guess it's okay.

Everything okay?

Yeah, why?

Well, for starters,

you're staring at a card from a surgeon.

You tend bars long enough

and you get pretty good at reading stuff upside down.

It's not for me.

It's my dad.

He needs a liver transplant

and they want to see if I'm a match, so.

Sorry about your dad.

But if you're a match,

at least you're giving him a second chance at life right?

Good point.

To second chances.

Second chances.

After the procedure,

the portion of the liver that we remove

will automatically regenerate.

You do this kind of thing all the time?

Not exactly.

You see, most of the patients that we diagnose

with collegial carcinoma are over the age of 50.

So finding a viable donor in time is next to impossible.

To be completely honest with you.

Most people die before a donor can be found.

Oh.

However, having a family member as a potential candidate

does increase the odds dramatically.

So how does this kind of thing work?

Well first, we'll do a test

to make sure that your liver is healthy enough to operate.

You annotated here on your history,

a high level of alcohol consumption.

You say high, I say normal.
