Chasing Life

Previously on "Chasing Life... "

- (Reporters clamor) - I'm dying

and the only cure is an interview with you.

You reporters are crazy, you know that?

I don't think she's drunk. Did you put something in her drink?

You think I drugged her?

This is exactly what we were concerned about

when we decided the girls should stop seeing each other.

- Don't you have class? - I don't feel like going.

Now that I'm not dead, I have no idea

what I'm gonna do with the rest of my life.

You want a sad cancer story?

Either you deliver the story I ask for or you go back to research duty.

- (Phones ring) - (Chattering)

Hey, I'm Julian.

Hi, Julian.

- I'm Ap... - April Carver.

I've seen you at the North End support group a couple times.

You, obviously, haven't noticed me.

I won't take offense.

And, uh, I've read some of your articles for the Post.

That's an interesting perspective.

Wow, thank you. That means a lot.

So, uh... can I take you out sometime?

Uh... sorry.

That's really sweet, but I'm sort of dating someone.

Okay, I got it.

I can't say I'm surprised.

- (Chuckles) - So you're in for leukemia, right?

Yeah. You?

Uh, nut cancer.

Yeah, kids can get it too.

Oh my God, I'm so sorry. That's...

Humiliating? Yeah, I... I know.

- Nurse: April Carver? - Sara: Oh, I'm sorry I'm late.

- I lost my keys. - That's okay, they just called me.

Your mom comes to your checkups?

Yeah, doesn't yours?

No.

Still cancer free.

Whew!

Two whole months since chemo and it hasn't come back.

It's got to mean something, right?

It means we're still in remission.

- (Sighs) - Okay, let's get out of here.

Yeah, you're boring me with these stable blood counts.

Give me some real work to do.

Oh, actually, Dr. Hamburg, can I ask you a question?

- Um, privately? - Oh, uh, I'll be outside.

Well, I just didn't want to ask you this in front of my mom.

- Because it's about sex. - How did you know that?

I've been doing this a while. What's up?

Um, well...

Leo and I haven't really done it since before treatment.

- So... - Well, studies show

that chemo and comas can do that to a couple.

Well, now we want to, so I guess I was just wondering

if there's anything I need to know about.

Like I know I had fertility treatments,

because chemo makes people infertile,

- but does that meant that... - Just some people.

I would still use protection.

Of course, but other than that,

any medical risks I need to know about?

Well, this far out of chemo the only risk

would be a loss of sex drive.

But if you're telling me you got your groove back,

then I say, "go for it."

Great, thank you.

What was that about?

Oh, I was just asking how it's going

with the new guy she's dating.

Isn't Dr. Hamburg married?

- Yeah. - (Gasps)

Is she cheating on her husband?

Yeah.

She's like the heartbreaker of Mass Medical.

This place is totally "Grey's Anatomy."

It's like the second she said I was still in remission,

she flipped a switch.

I have so much energy.

I want to kick ass at work.

And did I tell you she said I can have sex?

Yes, it's the first thing you told me last night...

- And today. - Sorry.

It's just ever since Leo and I got out of the hospital,

we haven't had any privacy.

He's got that live-in nurse and my family's always around.

It's just now that I know it's okay,

I am like, "bring it on!"

Okay, well, good,

'cause I brought you these condoms.

Morgan left them at the apartment when she moved.

Dude.

Yeah, she loves Costco.

Why can't you use them?

Hmm, Graham's allergic to latex.

Oh, how delicate.

What do you guys use, flower petals?

- Silk scarves? - Uh, I hate you.

- (Chuckles) - Here.

You're welcome, by the way.

That's not gonna fit.

Sorry.

Insert sex joke here.

Insert!

Wow, yeah, you're out of control.

All right.

- All right. - (Laughing harder)

It's really hard to get these in here.

"Hard!"

Ford: Okay, new game.

Let's start with... Sneaker-wedge girl.

- I'd rather look like me. - Yeah, me.

What about hippie girl?

- Me. - Her.

You want to look like you don't bathe?

She's still really pretty.

Ooh, purple hair, she must be new.

- I'd rather look like her. - You can't even see her face.

Yeah, but I can already tell that she's a badass.

- (Chuckles) - Oh. Okay, wait.

So is this for, like, a tennis match?

'Cause, like, purple's like our school color?

Our school colors are maroon and grey.

- Oh. - I just felt like a change.

Are your parents freaking out?

They've been out of town.

I figure if they're gonna be out of my life this much,

then they don't really get a say.

Morning.

Cool ring tone.

Now answer it.

There's no service in here.

But it's ringing.

You know what I mean.

If I pick it up, we're just gonna get cut off.

If you're not answering 'cause it's Leo,

- this only makes it weirder. - I don't know who's calling.

- (Ringing continues) - What if it's an emergency?

- What if your identity was stolen? - What if your whole family

was abducted by kidnappers

who gave them one phone call before they

were all buried alive and they picked you,

but you didn't even answer your phone?

Your whole family's dead.

My tacos!

How long was the line at the truck, Joshy?

Oh, like, two hours.

That's crazy. Where's my change?

I didn't get any change.

Okay, okay.

Um, he you go. Here you go.

I'll forgive your debt

if you do 20 pushups without stopping.

And not girl pushups. Go.

This isn't a fitness center.

Uh... uh... I know, but he...

No, your knee touched the ground. Start over.

This isn't how we use our interns.

Hey, go make some copies or something.

Okay.

By the way, I'm getting scoop on Richie Miranda.

Yeah, his contract's up soon. I'm hearing trade rumors.

- What's your in? - Richie's best friend

owns the Newbury House. It's a new-members club.

It's having a grand opening tomorrow night.

And I know Richie's gonna be there to help his buddy out.

- So... - I know... sorry.

I know Richie Miranda. He's given me scoop before.

I was actually his first interview out of rehab,

so I'm sure he'd remember me.

- I could talk to him. - But he's sports,

- and you're cancer. - Aaron, I'm not like

"cancer girl."

Well, you're not "sports girl."

No, but I am a good journalist.

And I'd be a real asset to the story.

Okay, okay. Doesn't matter.

It's up to Carey if he wants your help.

Carey, do you want April to help?

Nope.

Can you make a fresh pot?

So, um,

my mom is taking Brenna to the movies tonight.

I'm sorry, is that code for something?

Yeah, it means they won't be home

and grandma's at her high school reunion,

so we'll be alone.

- We should take advantage. - Ooh, yeah, we should.

Just to be clear, we're talking about

prank phone calls and raiding the fridge,

- stuff like that, right? - Hm-mmm.

Hey, that's the kid from the hospital,

the one who asked me out.

- April: Hey, Julian. - Hi.

You didn't tell me he was your boyfriend.

Oh, don't worry. He's still in P.T.

Way too weak to kick your ass.
