The Benefactor

All I see are bedrooms and nurses stations here.

Yeah, well, it's a hospital.

It's a children's hospital! It needs color.

Come on.

Are we partners?

Yeah.

Are we par... We are partners.

I understand, and I get the whole thing.

Your job is to cure these kids, my job's to make them feel better.

We need animal stickers on the windows.

We need sailboats hanging from the ceiling.

We need fun things... He's right.

For once.

Don't encourage him.

Thank you. Thank you.

I'm gonna make you my first board member.

No thank you.

I don't wanna sit on a board.

But thank you. Fine.

Coward.

Bobby? Hmm?

You are the newest member of the hospital board.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations. Mmm-hmm.

You know, you're starting a new life.

You don't wanna take too much from the old one.

Says the guy with no baggage whatsoever.

Yeah, I guess I've kept it pretty streamlined.

Haven't I?

I'm gonna miss you, kid.

You need me, you call me, okay?

Okay. You got it.

Hey, get your own daughter.

I don't need a daughter. I have a poodle.

Well... Hey, hey, hey.

Uh-oh, uh-oh.

I'm starving.

Hey, hey, not in the car.

I'm serious.

Maybe I should just move in.

You are not moving in. Best years of our lives, right...

It's like... It's like college all over again.

But no poodles, no responsibility...

Since when was she your responsibility?

You guys would be lost without me. You know it.

Oh, really? I don't know. Yes, let's be honest.

Maybe not.

I'm just happy. I'm just happy I got my friends back.

Full time, Bobby.

Hey... Hey.

Whoa!

- Yes. - Hi, Franny?

Is that you? Is this Franny?

I'm sorry, who... Who is this?

It's me, Olivia.

Hello? Uh...

What's this about?

It's Poodles. Is it...

Poodles, come on.

A poodle?

Franny...

No, I'm sorry, you have the wrong number.

No, I don't know anything about...

Will you stop.

You fall for that every time. Don't you?

Poodles!

Poo... I can't believe this. It's really you.

Yes.

Holy shit! Did I wake you?

No, wake me? No, of course not.

I'm awake. I was doing some work.

Yeah... So... So...

So, what's going on?

I just got married.

You what? And I want to move back to Philly.

You wanna come home.

I know, exactly.

No, he didn't... He didn't want me to ask you.

He's... He's really sweet, you're gonna love him.

No, it wasn't a big deal.

It was just a stupid argument with this department chair.

Wow, Franny, that's... That's amazing.

Okay.

Talk to you soon. Bye.

You didn't have to tell him all that, did you?

Oh, it's just Franny. He doesn't care.

Wait, when was the last time you even saw this guy?

This guy?

Well, I haven't even met him, have I?

So, what did he say?

Um...

Well, he said, "yeah."

He said, "yeah"?

What does that mean?

He said, "yes, it shouldn't be a problem."

What, for a job or an interview?

I think he just got you a job.

Holy shit, can he... Can he even do that?

There's very little that man can't do.

Really?

Franny?

Morning, Fran.

Hey.

You know, I'm getting really tired of these northern exposures, Jesse.

Oh, do you want me to move you to a suite on the other side?

It's not a problem. No, no, no, no.

Why don't we just...

We'll put it back the way it was before.

I'm expecting guests.

Guests?

She's coming. Poodles is coming. Yeah, it's good.

Whoa!

So, does this mean... Does this mean

we're moving to Philly?

Yeah, I guess so.

And you're sure you wanna do that?

It was my idea, wasn't it?

I like this one. I like the red one.

I'm going with the red.

I'm feeling younger.

I'm feeling so young and fresh.

I'm feeling delightful.

Delightful.

Delightful.

Full of delight.

Hey, how are you doin'?

Hey, hey!

Susan, nice to see you again. Looking good.

Hey, darling. You're new here, aren't you?

Hey.

Hey, bud.

Oh, am I interrupting?

Hey, champ, what's the matter?

I hate it here.

Oh. Hmm.

What can I do?

Get me out of here.

Well...

If that's what you want.

All righty!

Yep. We're gonna get you out of here, partner.

What are you doing?

Making an escape.

All righty.

What are we doing?

We are hiding.

Sometimes when I'm feeling really sad,

I just go and hide somewhere.

You do? Yeah, yeah, sure. All the time.

Everybody does.

Do you ever get found?

Only when there's someone looking.

Yeah.

But you know what?

It's a lot better when you have someone to hide with.

You know that.

You're with me. Got it?

Can I ask you something really serious?

I got an old friend coming home. I'm throwing her a party.

You think I should get a haircut?

Yeah, you look like a wizard.

Yeah... Seems to be unanimous.

All right. Whatever.

So, how do I look?

I honestly cannot remember the last time you looked this good.

You're just saying that. Aren't you. You're just saying that.

No, no, no.

You look good, Franny.

She'll tell you the same.

This will be the first time I've seen him in years.

Really? Is he not usually at the hospital?

He stops in and sees the kids every once in awhile.

Otherwise he's a ghost.

Still haven't met the guy yet.

Not for long, though. Right?

From what I understand, you're Franny's star recruit.

Hired on the spot. I'm just happy to be here.

I guess it's safe to say that things were expedited a bit more than usual

for this young man.

Now, we gotta find something for him to do. Right?

Right.

I'm back.

I didn't die. You're right. Hey, hey, hey.

Nice haircut.

Yeah, you need the haircut.

Wait...

A fresh face in a sea of old farts.

You, you are Dr. Luke.

Yeah. Nice to meet you, sir.

Welcome to Philadelphia, really.

Jesus, you are gorgeous. Wow.

Well, she did good.

Hey, are you really a doctor

or do you play one on TV? I'm kidding.

I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Ah!

The young doctor.

Yeah, I got something for you.

These are cuff links. Come here.

Look...
