That One Summer

Diane? Diane, hurry!

Right away.

I need you to apply pressure to his lower right abdomen.

We need to prep him for surgery, stat!

Am I going to be okay?

You're going to be just fine, but we need to work fast.

Is my brother here?

Can you please get a hold of him for me?

Let's worry about that later.

Right now, I just need you to relax and remain calm.

His name is Paul Cooper.

Can someone please call my brother?

Sir, I will look into that, but right now,

you may have internal bleeding and we need to work fast.

Chris, get in here!

What's wrong with this one?

We have another GSW, multiple gunshot wounds

to the lower abdomen and thigh.

Let's get him hooked up to IV fluids right away.

Where's Doctor Leslie?

He's with a different patient.

Please don't let me die.

You are not going to die, not on my watch. I promise.

My brother is the only family that I have left.

Diane, what are you doing? Put the mask on him.

Leet us help you now.

Patient's sedated. Blood pressure is 90 over 70.

He's stable at this time.

Very good.

That's one bullet.

Second one.

Third bullet being a few centimeters

from the femoral artery.

Damn it!

Diane, check his vitals! Where's he at?

Come on!

No, no, no, no, no.

Pulse is faint, it's going in and out.

Systolic pressure is below 60.

He's losing a lot of blood.

Quickly, give me more suction and push epi!

Fluids are infusing. First dose of epi given.

We're losing him!

He's going to hypovolemic shock! I can't find the bleed.

We lost him.

No, no, no, no.

I promised him that he would be okay.

No, no, no. I'm not giving up on him.

Diane.

- Maybe if we- - Diane!

As I told you before, working in this field,

you cannot be attached to your patients.

I know, doctor.

If you know that, then you wouldn't do that

with every patient you come across.

I have eyes, Diane.

Pull yourself together.

These soldiers are fighting for our country.

Let's focus on the ones that are still here.

Alex?

Are we going somewhere?

My spidey sense is tingling.

I have to go save the school.

Try again.

My cat just lost one of their lives.

She's now down to eight.

Hah!

According to my calculations,

that means your cat should be down to six.

Ooh!

I was never good with math. You know that best, Mr. Jones.

Yes. Take a seat.

We still have 19 seconds before your summertime begins,

and I plan on using all of it.

I wonder if all your parents feel the same way.

It's just a phone call. I can make that happen.

Dismissed.

Okay. Okay.

Hey, Jackie!

Shh.

Why are we whispering?

Just a few more minutes,

and I'm in the clear for the rest of the year.

Hey, where do you think you're going, punk?

See you next year, if you're still alive.

Some friend you are!

Sorry! She'll kill me.

Don't you owe me money?

How can I owe you money if you already took my money?

Don't get smart, goggles!

Please Veronica, it's the last day of school.

Don't you have anything better to do

than pick on little old me?

You better get used to it, you little twerp.

We got all summer together.

Veronica, why don't you do yourself a favor

and pick on someone else?

Why don't you do yourself a favor and get lost?

This doesn't concern you.

Just me and this little four-eyes.

Well, I ain't moving.

You're going to have to go through me to get to her.

You dodged a bullet. See you later, chump.

Whew, thanks, girl.

I thought my knees were about to give out.

Don't mention it. You know I got your back, girl.

Do you know where Melissa is?

I don't know if I should crack a joke on you

or call Jenny Craig.

I mean, look at you.

No need to call, Jackass. Your mama got her on speed dial.

Oh!

At least I have a mom.

I have a mom too. She didn't go nowhere, dummy.

Since you want to talk about my mom,

your mom is so dumb and fat,

the only grade she got in school was an "A" in lunch.

Whoa!

Your mom is so dumb, she threw a bird off a cliff.

Oh!

Your mom is so dumb, I said drinks are on the house

and she went to get a ladder.

Oh!

You're so... Um, um.

Listen pretty boy, let's call it quits.

I think the crowd knows what time it is.

No! Let's keep going.

You're so fat that...

Whoa!

Yeah! You were good.

So how'd did I do?

You kicked butt.

I should kick your butt, Franny,

for leaving me in there with Veronica.

And did you change?

I went home.

So what are you doing over here with us?

Oh, nothing. So did you guys hear about Game World?

You guys should sign up. I know I am.

Where's Alex?

At Game World. She got a head start.

I'm not surprised. Why should we compete anyway?

Yeah, don't they always give out like silly grand prizes?

Like stuffed animals?

You guys can compete in one of the new.

Super Vector game system.

Plus a new pair of Reebok pumps

and a new Hoffy BMX bike.

Wait, hold up.

No, stop playing.

I'm serious.

When they start doing that?

Something new, I guess.

I'm winning those Reeboks.

You'll be able to play that new "Slaughter Fight" game

you always talk about at school.

Yeah, you're right. With the Vector game system.

Alright, we're in.

Let's go. We'll catch up with Alex.

Hey girls. I see you're getting ready for the tournament.

You guys excited?

You betcha.

Hi, Miss Diane.

Hi, girls. How are your parents?

Any big plans for the summer?

Just winning in this tournament.

They're fine. And no big plans just yet.

Well, I look forward to seeing both of you

young ladies at the tournament.

Did you all get your registration fee yet?

- What? - Come again?

Sounds like you missed a line.

See? Right here in the fine print.

This is wonderful.

Well, I have to go back to my office,

but I look forward to seeing both of you there.

She creeps me out.

Alex, you forgot to read the fine print.

Damn, I can't believe this.

Right?

Like how are we supposed to get $40

to compete in this tournament?

Well, I'm saying I can't believe they put pepperoni
