Doogie Kamealoha, M.D.

Hey.

Hey!

Hmm. That's a good squish.

Bulgogi's almost there.

Have fun out at Uncle's ranch today.

I will.

I just wish Lahela could go with me like when she was little,

but now she's always so busy.

Mm. It's been forever since I've been out there, too.

Can I please buy you a proper bowl,

one that maybe didn't expire in 1989?

No need to spend your hard-earned money on somethin' fancy like that.

This guy works just as good for you, more better.

Oh, I love how your Pidgin really pops when you're passionate.

Hey, you're supposed to be practicing hula.

And you're supposed to be prepping for the SAT,

not using your book as a sun-shield.

I'm in recovery.

Let my muscles regen before the next hula show.

Ooh, that's tight.

No procrastinating.

"Failing to prepare is preparing to fail."

Legendary basketball coach, John Wooden.

Yeah, I'm not into team sports.

Here you go. I wrote my name on the bottom.

Make sure you get it back. That's my best Tupperware.

Oh, the good whipped cream tub. Fancy.

Yes! Nothing like a four-hour cholecystectomy

to leave you jonesing for more.

What's next? Feed the beast. What do we got on the big board?

We got a Canadian tourist who fell off a moped in 1C.

Aw, man. I need something challenging to sink my teeth into.

You should have finished that cholecystectomy in three and a half hours,

because my new case? Sepsis.

You're so lucky.

Organ failure for me. Whoop-whoop.

Hey, I know you love a tough case,

but you don't always need to have a puzzle to solve.

Oh, and I bet you're handling

the same kind of run-of-the-mill cases, too?

Necrotizing fasciitis.

Come on! A flesh-eating disease?

So unfair.

Ooh, flesh-eating disease.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I came to visit you.

Oh, that's so nice.

And to score some of the chocolate chip cookies

they give to the ladies who just gave birth.

Your paycheck.

Oh, wait. But Gail, my checks are always direct deposited.

They switched accounting systems to make my life as difficult as possible.

But if you don't want the check,

I was thinking about upgrading my beer fridge.

Nope. We're good. Thanks, Gail.

We have to spend it. It's a sign.

Like when it was a full moon on my 13th birthday,

which confirmed I'm a tiny bit wolf.

I've never gotten a hard copy check before.

I don't even know what I make.

I'm lowering my expectations.

Anytime my mom's family sends me an envelope for my birthday,

it's always a two-dollar bill.

I mean, it's cool, but it's two dollars.

Okay.

-I'm rich. -We're rich!

CLARA HANNON, MD CHIEF OF MEDICINE

Oh, Dr. Choi, if you have a minute,

I'd love to talk about the Chief of Staff position.

Oh, um, can this wait? I'm in a bit of a rush.

I'm transitioning to the Lakers medical staff.

You know, Los Angeles Lakers.

Yeah, the pro basketball team.

How do you like me now, Greg?

Oh, sorry. Greg was the coach who cut me from the JV team.

Well, uh, I just so happen to have some of my husband's bulgogi with me.

Perhaps later, we can make a reservation at the break room table by the microwave.

I wish I could, but I just don't have the bandwidth.

Hey, Dr. Choi!

Yes! Psyched for our game of hoops.

I'm gonna school you on the court

while you school me on the ins and outs of Chief of Staff.

What do you mean?

Oh, didn't you hear?

I'm going for Chief of Staff, too.

Great.

I'm competing with the guy known for hitting on recent widows.

Hey, you miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take.

Yeah, and at the three-point line,

you miss 100 percent of the shots you do take.

So, um, there's a lunchtime basketball game?

Oh, it's just a friendly weekly game between medical professionals.

That's fun.

So is there any time that's good for us to talk?

Oh, uh, well, between my basketball game and my social calendar,

it's tough. It... Oh...

It's Jason Momoa.

What up, J-Money?

Huh? Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll hold.

He does this.

Hey, what up, J-Money?

Can I listen?

Yeah, sure, sure. I'll be in touch.

DR.About that, well, I...

DR.Oh, yeah? Yeah. Definitely.

Solid shopping spree.

I look iconic,

and you're serving enough Big Robe Energy to power the whole island.

And you're a monocle away from being a sexy Mrs. Monopoly man.

Turns out, I like being rich.

Hey, you know those sneakers I wanted?

Well, I found them online.

But this site called "DripFlip" says they're only available to bid on.

You don't know DripFlip?

I love it when I know things you don't.

DripFlip is a website

where sneakerheads buy and sell limited-edition sneakers and stuff.

Matt Unterberger made 91 bucks on there.

Apparently not enough to get his teeth fixed.

Ooh.

Yeah.

He got some juice in this one.

Whoa, Uncle.

It's always great to come back here to where I grew up.

So many memories.

Your father and I used to camp under that tree.

One of my favorites.

Coming here always recharges me.

The only thing that would make this better is if Lahela were here.

Then where is she?

Ah, you know how it is for teenagers.

Boys, clothes, getting published in medical journals.

We'll get her next time.

Next time? Well, you know how that goes.

I know your father would have liked to spend more time with you.

Come, let's go to the house.

One, two, three.

Oh.

-- So close. -- Looked cool for a miss.

Guys, come on.

This looks a lot like slacking off.

It's not.

There's a geometry section on the SATs, and basketball is basically geometry.

You know, angles and whatnot.

And I burned my hula skirt trying to make pancakes.

There's nothing left of the hula skirt or the pancakes.

What did we talk about?

You have to put the work in to attain your goals.

Well, are you Chief of Staff yet?

No.

I can't get face time with Dr. Choi.

See? You prepared, and you didn't get squat.

So what's the point?

No, you can't think like that.

Pass me the rock.

Come on.

Remember how I said I used to play ball growing up?

Honed my skills at Dr. J Basketball Camp in the Poconos.

He's who first inspired me to become a doctor.

I played in grade school, junior high.

That all led to this.

I'm gonna get in that game, win over Dr. Choi,

and show you fools what happens when you prepare.

Did Mom just call us fools?

Yup.

Oh... Nothing but plant!

This DripFlip thing is tight.

You just buy sneakers and sell them for more money.

It's all math!

I'm out!

I can tell you're Lahela-ing this.

I can think of like eight positive definitions of what "Lahela-ing" would be,

but my guess is you're gonna go negative.

You always need a project or something to work on.

Like a shark. You gotta keep moving.

Actually, sharks don't have to keep moving.

They sleep in caves.

Dr. Eugenie Clark proved that. I like to fact-check Shark Week.

Enough Lahela-ing.

Have fun making sneakers about math. Bye.

Bye.

Boys, check it out.

I found my old b-ball stuff.

Oh, look!

My old senior photo.

Looks like a five-foot wave on top of your head.

And no wonder Dad fell in love with you.

He probably just wanted to surf on your hair.

Oh.

My lucky pumps.

I used to dominate in these.

I was so good, they called me Clarry Bird.

Hey, how's it going?

Hey.

Feel like a little father-daughter hang?

In the mood for a surf?

Oh, this pair now goes for 280 dollars?

-Just an hour ago, it was 240 dollars. -What is this?

DripFlip. It's a resale site for sneakers.

I'm looking for a crispy clean pair of OG Supremes,
