I'm sorry, did you just whistle at me?

I never could resist a man in uniform?

It's the hat, isn't it?

Not everybody can pull this off.

Hi.

Hi.

I missed you.

I missed you too. How was New York?

For the 20 minutes that I was there, very nice.

Terminal H has new carpeting.

Ooh!

Oh.

Chocolates? It's not even my birthday.

Well, it was that or the iHeart New York T-shirt, so.

Hm.

But don't eat too many of those, Willie's really excited,

that you're joining us for dinner.

That makes two of us.

Mrs. Hecht is making risotto.

Ooh!

I was wondering if you had a minute,

if you could take a look at this?

Andie, once you're an attendee and part of the practice,

you don't have to write annual goals any longer.

That ended a year ago with your residency.

I-I know I don't have to,

but a roadmap to professional success

should have guideposts.

And a one, five and 10-year plan?

"Be part of the Peer Review Committee"?

Oh, they discuss the toughest cases,

as a resident, we do patient rounds

with other doctors to keep learning.

Peer review would ensure continued educational growth.

"Eventual fellowship for a subspecialty

in congenital heart disease"?

Well, you've got all the makings to achieve it,

Cadillac education, dedication to the work,

solid support system, you're doing fine.

Come on, there must be something,

that I need to be working on.

Your penmanship, might be worse than mine.

It'll be okay, sweetheart.

I'll see you soon.

Hey, Andie,

he came into the Emergency Room about 30 minutes ago,

we got him up here as fast as we could.

Okay, thanks.

Hey, my friend.

My knight in pale blue armor.

The office said you were on your day off

and Dr. Fisher had to do the procedure.

Yeah, well, angiograms pay a lot

and I got my eye on a new car.

Your EKG shows evidence of some heart damage,

the main artery may be blocked, I'll do my best to open it,

but you may require open heart surgery.

I'm gonna do everything I can

to get you on the other side of this, okay, Oscar.

I know you will, Doctor.

Up first is a little bit of numbing medication, lidocaine,

you may notice a little bit of a burning sensation,

it's gonna be a slight pinch, all totally normal.

We're injecting the contrast.

You're doing great, Oscar.

Where do you feel the pain?

All over my chest.

Blood pressure's dropping, 90 over 60.

Oscar, how long have you and Gloria been married?

52 years.

Wow, congratulations.

Can you tell me a favorite story you have about your wife?

Our 25th anniversary, we spent it on a 24-foot sailboat.

She loves the ocean.

She reminded me of the day we met.

Blood pressure's dropping again.

Alert the surgical team.

Can you tell me anything else

you remember about that day, Oscar?

The boat keels over,

I see my Gloria's face,

hair blowing away in the wind.

Is he okay?

Oscar did great, he's just in postop recovering.

There was almost 100% blockage

in the main artery to his heart.

We were able to get in there and place a metal stint,

that should help keep it open.

Oh, thank God.

He was so pale, I thought.

You did the right thing,

when you called 911, you saved him.

He's going to be a great-grandfather soon,

did he tell you that?

I want more than anything for him to meet that little baby.

He will.

Thank you.

You're welcome, you should be able to see him soon.

Yeah.

Henny, honey.

I'm here.

I got lasagna, meatloaf,

all you gotta do is heat it up.

Thinking three minutes should do it.

Yeah, three minutes should do it.

Right over left, so that the wide part is-

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can do it.

They always make you wear a tie to work?

No, I-I like it.

I talked to Miss Thompson today,

she said you're doing a real fine job.

You like working at the bookstore?

- Yeah. - Are they treating you nice?

Yeah, real nice.

Perfect.

Let me fix your collar for you.

Oh, my handsome boy.

I'm not gonna keep you.

Oh, are we still on for the movies on Sunday, your pick?

"Spider-Man".

Oh.

Again?

Yeah, again.

Okay, fine, fine and I'll get you the big bucket

of popcorn just like you like.

And Milk Duds.

Oh, come on, I never forget the Milk Duds, come here.

Oh, this boy, I love him.

I'll see you soon.

Yeah, bye, Ma.

Come on, guys, get it back, get it back!

What I miss?

Oh, oh, not much, not much, they just put him in.

Let's go, Will, whoo!

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Oh.

It's okay, Will, you got this!

- Come on, bud. - Come on!

You got it!

Yeah!

Whoo, whoo!

Okay, you're gonna have to show me how you do that.

Hey.

Nice work, buddy, big win.

I only played two minutes.

Yeah, but it was the best two minutes of the game.

I don't think I wanna play anymore.

Everyone's bigger than me and faster.

Yeah, but you can do things that they can't.

Yeah, well, I've seen you kick the ball a mile.

Can't kick the ball from the bench.

What's gotten into you today, you feeling okay, pal?

Oh.

Oh, I think someone's coming down

with a bad case of the blues.

Uh-oh, is it serious?

Very.

Well, what's your prognosis, Doctor?

Symptoms could worsen, so I would recommend

a hot fudge sundae from Bennigan's stat.

Really? Can I get three scoops?

Hey, don't push your luck, pal.

Come on.

You know I won't make you do something you don't want to,

but I think you should stick with it.

And for the record, I think you are pretty great

just the way you are.

Oh my goodness, what happened?

We won.

I'd hate to see what losing looks like.

Come on, mister, we gotta get you cleaned up.

- No, but I- - Hey, you heard Mrs. Hecht.

- Think fast. - Oh.

Bath time, buddy.

Fine.

See you, Andie.

- See you. - Come on.

See you, guys, take care.

Come on, mister, let's march, let's go.

I, um, I'd better get going too, it's getting late.

- Okay. - We still on for tomorrow?

I wouldn't miss it.

Henry.

You ready to come back?

I didn't see your mom in the waiting room.

No, because she's at work,

because I don't live with her anymore.

I heard you moved to the Briarwood Park apartments, right?

Yeah, I finished all the workshops at the Adult Center

on how, how to live on my own

and that's what I do now.

That's, ah, that's great.

I bet you're making a lot of friends.

Yeah, I have two friends on my floor

and three friends on the second floor,

Cathy, Roger, Eduardo,

Esther and Louie.

Can you take a few deep breaths for me?
