Parenthood

There was a guy who worked for me for two years

he never said anything.

I didn't know anything about his personal life.

I miss that guy.

I'm not that guy.

He's a very weird, grumpy guy.

Who knows if it will even work out.

I have a doctor appointment,

so I'll just meet you guys there.

Christina Braverman?

All right, so they said the vending machine

was in the hall near the water fountain.

Doritos, baby.

Now, skittles cost 75 cents, and I've got $5,

so I'm definitely getting two packets of those,

and then something else.

This is great.

I can get whatever I want, and no one can say no to me.

Wait, this is where the water fountain is.

- Where's the vending machine? - They took it away last June.

- No. - Aw, man.

No. No, it's not fair!

No.

It's not fair!

How could they do...

No. Man, chill out.

Well, I am so glad I've had the chance to check out

the 2007 December issue of woman's day.

I feel like I've rediscovered my holiday spirit.

I now know five amazing ways to reuse gift wrap.

Well, it's official...

our appointment was two hours ago.

Yup.

- Can you believe that? - Yeah, I know.

I mean, what kind of a way is that to run a practice?

I don't know, Adam. It's just the way it is.

It's a crappy way to run a practice.

It's crap, okay? It's crap.

It's your first time, right?

New kid on the cancer block?

Your hair's a dead giveaway.

Oh.

Plus the husbands stop coming after a while.

- Oh. - I'm Gwen chambers.

- Hi, I'm Kristina. - Nice to meet you.

- This is my husband Adam. - Hi. How are you?

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

So what stage?

- I'm sorry? - What stage?

Oh, I don't know.

We're just here for the first time.

- Oh, I was 2b. - I'm not 2b.

Oh! That is the question.

That's funny.

I had to do a lumpectomy, chemo, and radiation.

The triple crown. Hello medical marijuana, huh?

- Hm. - Wow.

- Gwen chambers? - Oh. One sec, Carmen.

Listen, all this really messes with your head.

You're gonna get really confused, really fast.

Call me. Seriously. That's nice. Okay.

Don't worry, I won't try to get you to take shots

of wheatgrass.

That crap made me more nauseous than the chemo.

I'll bet.

Thank you. Have a good visit.

I can't imagine why her husband stopped showing up.

Adam.

I know you've probably never met a pirate before.

- I've got cancer just like you. - Stop.

- What? - You're just rotten.

I know that this is, like, really last minute.

- Yeah. - But we're desperate.

Our wedding photographer, who we booked a year ago...

hello... has west nile virus.

Oh, my... sorry, it's not funny at all.

It's just you hear about it. No. I know.

It's real.

And our wedding is less than a week away, so...

- oh. - Bad timing on our part.

Right. According to the books, we're free, so we'll... Hank!

This is Dan and Carrie. Hello.

And they're getting married on Saturday, and they are looking

for a photographer... Hi.

For their wedding.

I heard that you did journalistic style?

- Oh, um... - Journalistic?

Yes. Well, he can do so many different styles.

He's so talented.

And, um, so what kind of things were you looking for?

Well, we really want something that's more kind of...

- slice of life. - Yeah, candid.

So, like, pictures of me getting ready

before the ceremony... Oh!

And then the ceremony when we, like, release the doves.

- Doves! - Yeah.

- Hank, could we do that? - Yeah.

Big wedding, huh?

I've been on the paleo diet for, like, eight months.

I mean, obviously it works. I just... you know.

Babe, you look amazing.

Well, you better believe I want my picture taken.

Yeah.

You know, I'm actually booked on Saturday.

No, we're... sorry, he's wrong. We're free. We're free.

Nope.

- Sorry. What do we have? - It's not in the book.

I'm taking a personal day on Saturday.

Can it... can it be another day

for your person?

It's a "me" day.

I can't. It's a...

- it's a "me" day? - It's a "me" day!

It's for me. That's the day that me wants it, so...

Hey, look, I'm sorry.

I can't take your wedding photos.

I'm so sorry.

Even if we were, like, to pay extra?

- Baby, let's go, come on. - I'm so sorry.

- We're really desperate. - Don't worry about it.

- If it changes, please call me. - Come on.

Seriously?

I don't do weddings.

I need help here.

So yeah, there was a vending machine

in the school last year, but they took it out.

Max, give it up. They took the vending machine.

It's not fair.

You're gonna have to learn life is not fair.

Oh, damn, crap, hell!

- Why are you being so loud? - Well, that was our turn.

Hey, don't tell your parents I said any of that, all right?

Hold on here, fellas.

- Whoo! -

- Busted! - Huh?

Oh, crap. Damn it.

- You have to pull over. - Yeah, that's what I'm doing

is pulling over. Oh.

Oh, damn it.

- What's so bad about this? - Oh, he's a young guy.

Why is that bad?

It's bad because he doesn't have any patience, I bet you.

License and registration, please.

Hi. Yeah, so what's the problem here, officer?

Could I have your license and registration, sir?

- Yeah, I'm getting it. - Are we in trouble?

No, honey, everything's fine.

There you go.

Sir, are you aware that your driver's license expired

more than a year ago?

Are you sure?

Oh, that's a mistake.

Hey, listen, officer, I'm with my grandkids.

I mean, you can see that.

Couldn't you just give me a warning this time?

Maybe?

What, are you writing the ticket already?

Hey, uh, let me handle this. Sir, get back inside your car.

Yeah, no... I just wanna talk to you,

just for one second. Do you hear me, sir?

Get back inside your car right now, sir.

I don't think you heard me! I... I...

- you're not listening to me. - Wha... ow! Hey! Easy!

Grandpa! Do you hear me? No! No! No!

It's all right, kids! Just eat your ice cream, kids!

I'm staying still. What, I'm gonna run?

Damn.

When can we get her in?

We have...

Morning of the 26th.

Good. That works.

You can cover up now, Mrs. Braverman.

Mrs. Braverman, I understand that your oncologist

is Dr. Gardner?

Yeah, um, we just met him, so I mean, I guess he is.

He said that your practice was the place to go,

and if his wife had cancer, he'd send her to you.

Mmhmm.

Hey, listen, doctor, if there's anything you could

tell us now, you know, we've been in the dark.

We've been waiting outside for 21/2 hours.

We'd appreciate it.

What? It's fine.

- I'm just trying to find out... - We're here now.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. Well, let's make sure

we get all the results back first

before we jump to conclusions.

I need the results on the braca asap.

Yeah. Well, call the geneticist

at city of hope and tell him

I need it.

- What is he doing? - I don't know.
