1. Yesterday,
Laverne was in a car accident.
Copy !req
2. It was all we could think about.
Copy !req
3. How's she doing?
Copy !req
4. Major head trauma.
Copy !req
5. We had to place a CVP bolt
to relieve the pressure on her brain.
Copy !req
6. Now we just cross our fingers and wait.
Copy !req
7. Everyone deals
with heartache differently.
Copy !req
8. Some of us did something
life-affirming.
Copy !req
9. What is that, like, four times?
Copy !req
10. Let's see.
Copy !req
11. Five.
Copy !req
12. I'm still sad. Again.
Copy !req
13. Others resorted
to childish mischief.
Copy !req
14. I love mailbox baseball.
Here comes his house.
Copy !req
15. I've been wanting to do this
for six years!
Copy !req
16. Nice try, Turkelton,
Copy !req
17. but Enid kept taking out the mailbox
with the motor-home,
Copy !req
18. so I had it reinforced with titanium.
Copy !req
19. Beautiful morning.
Copy !req
20. And some people just needed
to do something impulsive.
Copy !req
21. There. Nobody liked my haircut,
so now they can all just suck it.
Copy !req
22. Yeah, you win.
Copy !req
23. God, I can't believe
I'm getting my C-section today.
Copy !req
24. Did you forget to tell anyone?
Copy !req
25. No.
Copy !req
26. I told the nanny to stay overnight,
Copy !req
27. and my mom booked a flight
for next week,
Copy !req
28. and I'm meeting the O.B.
at the hospital in two hours.
Copy !req
29. - No...
- Did I not tell you?
Copy !req
30. You did not.
Copy !req
31. I could have sworn I texted you.
Copy !req
32. Well, it's for the best,
Copy !req
33. 'cause if you knew, you just would get
all panicky and annoying.
Copy !req
34. And this way you only have to freak out
for a couple of hours,
Copy !req
35. most of which I'll be unconscious.
Copy !req
36. Kind of like our honeymoon.
Copy !req
37. Except this time when you wake up,
Copy !req
38. you're going to have
a baby girl in your arms
Copy !req
39. instead of the Bolivian limbo champion.
Copy !req
40. Oh, Marco! What a cheeky monkey!
Copy !req
41. How come we don't travel any more?
Copy !req
42. Carla had the difficult job
of talking to Laverne's family.
Copy !req
43. So there's a chance
she may never wake up?
Copy !req
44. Well, Lester,
we just don't know that yet.
Copy !req
45. I wish there was an easier way
to break bad news to people.
Copy !req
46. So, what's wrong with me, Doc?
Copy !req
47. Mr Gubard, I think it would be best
if we brought in the Bad News Robot.
Copy !req
48. Hello, random patient.
You have cancer.
Copy !req
49. Press "one" for a reassuring pep talk.
Copy !req
50. Press "two" to give up.
Copy !req
51. You pressed "one"
for a reassuring pep talk.
Copy !req
52. You are strong, you can beat this,
Copy !req
53. beat this, beat this, beat this, beat...
Copy !req
54. Stupid robot!
Copy !req
55. Ow!
Copy !req
56. I'm so sorry, but your father's
had a massive systems failure.
Copy !req
57. Oh, daddy, no!
Copy !req
58. It started in his hard drive and then
worked its way to all the other circuits.
Copy !req
59. I know this is a very difficult time
for you and...
Copy !req
60. Sure, disintegrate the messenger.
Copy !req
61. Dude, I need to talk to you.
Copy !req
62. Dr Wen kept referring to her
as "the patient,"
Copy !req
63. and I was like, "That's not 'the patient,'
that's Laverne," you know?
Copy !req
64. I know.
Copy !req
65. Dude.
Copy !req
66. You've taught me so much
over the years, Laverne,
Copy !req
67. like how to place an IV without bruising
Copy !req
68. or how to get lab results back faster
Copy !req
69. or the fact that when white people
come in out of the rain,
Copy !req
70. we smell like wet dog.
Copy !req
71. We do.
Copy !req
72. We really do.
Copy !req
73. I went to your desk
and got you your favourite makeup.
Copy !req
74. You're such a beautiful woman, Laverne.
Copy !req
75. You always deserve to look your best.
Copy !req
76. Thank you.
Copy !req
77. Checking in on her?
Copy !req
78. I just want to make sure
she knows how much I care about her.
Copy !req
79. As long as you're not saying goodbye.
Copy !req
80. I mean,
people have come back from worse.
Copy !req
81. Remember Mr Chuang?
Copy !req
82. Slipped into a coma in 1984,
woke up last month.
Copy !req
83. Hey, ladies, where's the beef?
Copy !req
84. I'm just saying let's keep the faith.
Copy !req
85. Yeah.
Copy !req
86. Don't let her put
no more makeup on me.
Copy !req
87. I look like a street-walker.
Copy !req
88. Say, Bob, how's Laverne doing?
Copy !req
89. No change, she's still unresponsive.
Copy !req
90. Are you on call tonight
or will you be busy fighting Superman?
Copy !req
91. - You look like Lex Luthor.
- I get it.
Copy !req
92. - Sylvia!
- Yes!
Copy !req
93. We've got some super-secret news.
Copy !req
94. - Hit me!
- Sugar plum?
Copy !req
95. They're scooping
the baby out of me today.
Copy !req
96. - You guys...
- Don't say it.
Copy !req
97. Congratu...
Copy !req
98. Don't even think it.
Copy !req
99. He's in my head. I love it.
Copy !req
100. I'm only telling you this
because we need a favour.
Copy !req
101. Anything. Just three quick questions.
Copy !req
102. Did you do that to your head
Copy !req
103. so your baby will think
everybody looks like that?
Copy !req
104. Can I be the godfather?
And why is this a secret?
Copy !req
105. I'm going to answer the first two
with the same sentence.
Copy !req
106. Stop making dumb jokes.
Copy !req
107. And it is a secret because Jordan had
pre-natal surgery for hydronephrosis,
Copy !req
108. and we want to make sure
everything's okay with the kid
Copy !req
109. before we start spreading the word.
Copy !req
110. You guys,
your baby is going to be just fine.
Copy !req
111. Thanks, now all our fears are gone.
Copy !req
112. Here's what I need you to do.
Copy !req
113. Oh, my God, Dr Cox
is letting me into his inner circle.
Copy !req
114. He wants... No, he needs my help.
Copy !req
115. If you do this right,
next stop, godfather.
Copy !req
116. Wait, what did he say?
Copy !req
117. We're ready for you.
Copy !req
118. Can you manage that?
Copy !req
119. Ask him to repeat it.
Copy !req
120. No, no, no,
then he'll know you weren't listening
Copy !req
121. and he'll never trust you again.
Copy !req
122. I'm on it, Perry.
Copy !req
123. What's going on? I mean...
Copy !req
124. You can't be a ghost, you're not dead.
Copy !req
125. - Damn right, I'm not dead.
- Then why are you here?
Copy !req
126. Sugar, you're the one imagining me.
It's up to you to figure that out.
Copy !req
127. - Dr Cox, nice head.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
128. This may be a strange question, but...
Copy !req
129. Have you ever had the memory
of someone follow you around,
Copy !req
130. kind of like
Copy !req
131. a ghost?
Copy !req
132. No.
Copy !req
133. But, then again, I'm a sane person.
Copy !req
134. Okay.
Copy !req
135. Liar.
Copy !req
136. Hi, Dr Cox! I got pregnant in heaven.
Copy !req
137. Who knew that could happen?
Copy !req
138. Come on.
Copy !req
139. I figured Dr Berman,
Copy !req
140. the hospital audiologist,
could help me.
Copy !req
141. Hey, Ed.
Copy !req
142. I read once that audiologists
can read lips. Is that true?
Copy !req
143. Actually, yes.
Copy !req
144. It's surprisingly easy to learn
if you just...
Copy !req
145. I don't need your life story, Ed.
Copy !req
146. Can you help me reconstruct
what someone said
Copy !req
147. if I remember
what their lips looked like?
Copy !req
148. I'll give it a shot.
Copy !req
149. Okay, let's remember his mouth.
Copy !req
150. Now, let me get into character.
Copy !req
151. Hating the world, clenching my jaw,
wishing I could love J.D. a little more.
Copy !req
152. Well, I think what he said was...
Copy !req
153. For a minute there
I was in real trouble.
Copy !req
154. I would have to
kiss being godfather goodbye,
Copy !req
155. which reminds me of that time
my godfather kissed me goodbye.
Copy !req
156. He always had crumbs
in his soul patch.
Copy !req
157. Wait, has he been talking
this whole time?
Copy !req
158. I'm sorry, could you repeat that?
Copy !req
159. I said, I think it's,
"Pick up some film for my camera."
Copy !req
160. Good work, Ed.
Copy !req
161. You know,
she once told me I'd have a happy life,
Copy !req
162. and she said it with a straight face.
Copy !req
163. You were the one woman I'd never do,
Copy !req
164. because I respect you too much
and you're kind of a big gal.
Copy !req
165. But if doing you right now could help,
I would.
Copy !req
166. I'd like to say something in private.
Copy !req
167. - I love you.
- Okay. Yeah, it's all right.
Copy !req
168. I probably should have said this
to you before,
Copy !req
169. but you always impressed me,
Copy !req
170. your compassion, your faith.
Copy !req
171. And you didn't get mad at me
when I insisted
Copy !req
172. that I should be the lifeguard
at your above-ground pool party,
Copy !req
173. even after I made it painfully obvious
that I'm not a strong swimmer.
Copy !req
174. If you see your dog up there,
please tell him I'm sorry.
Copy !req
175. What are you doing?
Copy !req
176. I wanted to share a few words
Copy !req
177. before she passed through
the golden doors of Valhalla.
Copy !req
178. What now?
Copy !req
179. I converted to the Norse religion
a few years ago.
Copy !req
180. It just made sense.
Copy !req
181. That's it! No more goodbyes, okay?
Copy !req
182. She's not getting any better,
but she's not getting any worse, either.
Copy !req
183. No more!
Copy !req
184. Mmm, mmm!
Copy !req
185. I sure love it
when you get your sass on, girl!
Copy !req
186. - There. There's my girl.
- How is she? How's the baby?
Copy !req
187. We got your daughter into the NICU,
and her lungs look great.
Copy !req
188. Like we discussed, she'll need
another surgery in a couple of months,
Copy !req
189. but all in all, everything is better
than we could have hoped for.
Copy !req
190. Listen, Doc, we're not comfortable
Copy !req
191. letting people see
our emotional moments,
Copy !req
192. so if you just turn around for a second,
that'd be great.
Copy !req
193. Okay, we're good.
Copy !req
194. Nurse Roberts.
Copy !req
195. You were always one of the good ones.
Copy !req
196. - What the hell?
- We did it once.
Copy !req
197. Twenty-some odd years ago,
before Mr Roberts.
Copy !req
198. - Did I not tell you that?
- No!
Copy !req
199. He love him some brown sugar.
Copy !req
200. - That look only works for black guys.
- Then why are you sporting it?
Copy !req
201. - How'd it go?
- Everyone's doing well.
Copy !req
202. Though you'd prefer
to give him a full body hug,
Copy !req
203. just go with a slight nod.
Copy !req
204. And now the coup de grâce.
Copy !req
205. I got you some film for your camera.
Copy !req
206. Thanks, I guess.
Copy !req
207. Did you pick my son up at daycare?
Copy !req
208. Oh, God, no.
Copy !req
209. "Pick up my son from daycare."
Copy !req
210. Damn it, it fits!
Copy !req
211. - Taken care of, Per-Per.
- That a boy!
Copy !req
212. Luckily, I can walk
and text simultaneously.
Copy !req
213. It's game time!
Copy !req
214. All right, Newbie,
it is time to tell the masses.
Copy !req
215. Do me a favour, try not to tear up.
Copy !req
216. Sometimes even the best news
can be disrupted by a stupid chart.
Copy !req
217. Is that Laverne's latest CAT scan?
How's it look?
Copy !req
218. And when that chart
has the worst news of all,
Copy !req
219. there's only one thing left to do.
Copy !req
220. Bye, Laverne.
Copy !req
221. That can't be good.
Copy !req
222. Laverne was brain dead,
Copy !req
223. so when her family
decided to take her off life support,
Copy !req
224. all we could do
was wait for her body to give up.
Copy !req
225. I couldn't help but think of
the first time I had dealt with death
Copy !req
226. and how Laverne had been there
for me.
Copy !req
227. No way anyone could have caught it.
Copy !req
228. - Anyhow, you have to pronounce him.
- But why didn't anybody page me?
Copy !req
229. Could you just pronounce him
so I can go home?
Copy !req
230. You can finally go home, Laverne.
Copy !req
231. He did not just say that. Too cheesy!
Copy !req
232. Hey, Carla,
I can get someone to cover for you
Copy !req
233. if you want to take some time
to say goodbye.
Copy !req
234. I've got stuff to do.
Copy !req
235. Per, I am drugged up on pain killers,
Copy !req
236. I've ironed my hair, I've got that
brand new picture of the baby.
Copy !req
237. I am ready for the flood of well-wishers.
Copy !req
238. Buttercup, this is not our child.
Copy !req
239. Yeah, ours still looks like a lizard.
Copy !req
240. I got this off the Internet.
Copy !req
241. I think it's some baby
that Luke Wilson had with a hooker.
Copy !req
242. Fantastic.
Copy !req
243. I'm going to go spread the word!
Copy !req
244. Look at you, squish-nose.
Copy !req
245. Okay, the fastest way
to spread the news
Copy !req
246. is to tell the gals in Radiology,
Copy !req
247. because you know
how Joanne and Rhonda are.
Copy !req
248. "Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Copy !req
249. "Oh, there's Dr Dorian, he's so hot."
Copy !req
250. "I agree!"No, you don't, he's mine!"
Copy !req
251. That's Rhonda, by the way.
Joanne, horse face.
Copy !req
252. I'm not telling anyone
that my daughter has been born.
Copy !req
253. But you just told Jordan
that you were going to.
Copy !req
254. Yes, and that's what we call a lie
Copy !req
255. or, when you're married, communication.
Copy !req
256. Come on, Newbie, you and I both know
Copy !req
257. Laverne's not going to be around
a whole lot longer.
Copy !req
258. And I know this reasoning's
about as rational
Copy !req
259. as your parents actually thinking
they could raise you as a boy, but...
Copy !req
260. I don't want the birth of my child
to be forever associated with her death,
Copy !req
261. and that's why
I'm not going to tell anybody anything
Copy !req
262. until after she passes.
Copy !req
263. Now, I...
Copy !req
264. I just got to figure out
how to stall Jordan.
Copy !req
265. I can help.
Copy !req
266. What, like you helped pick up my son?
Copy !req
267. He got home, didn't he?
Copy !req
268. Some say speed metal
can be very soothing.
Copy !req
269. Since I already know about it, right,
Copy !req
270. why don't I go in there
and make a big show,
Copy !req
271. give her some J.D. razzle-dazzle,
some jazz hands.
Copy !req
272. That way she'll forget all about
how no one's come to congratulate her
Copy !req
273. on the arrival
of little baby Jennifer Dylan.
Copy !req
274. - Why that name?
- I just think it's pretty.
Copy !req
275. And she'd be "J.D." forever.
Copy !req
276. You know, Laverne,
if this were a horror flick,
Copy !req
277. I'd be so scared that I was next.
Copy !req
278. They always kill the black folks off first.
Copy !req
279. No, I'm not really worried about it,
Copy !req
280. 'cause there's still
Snoop Dogg Resident
Copy !req
281. and Leonard the security guard and...
Copy !req
282. You know, when you think about it,
this is a white-ass hospital.
Copy !req
283. I'm going to miss you,
Copy !req
284. so you take care, okay?
Copy !req
285. Turk, Carla's really having
a hard time with all this.
Copy !req
286. I think she needs help.
Copy !req
287. Okay, let's go.
Copy !req
288. But this is going to suck so,
since you're her best friend,
Copy !req
289. you should do all the talking.
Copy !req
290. Turk, you should do it.
Copy !req
291. Oh, no, I'm just her husband.
You guys are way closer.
Copy !req
292. Could you just do me a favour
and go away?
Copy !req
293. I'm an extension of your psyche.
Copy !req
294. All you have to do
is close your eyes and think me away.
Copy !req
295. Okay.
Copy !req
296. I can see you
crouching under the table.
Copy !req
297. Damn.
Copy !req
298. Hey, baby?
Copy !req
299. Laverne's getting weaker by the minute
Copy !req
300. and we thought
you might want to come back up.
Copy !req
301. I don't know.
Copy !req
302. You know, Carla,
Copy !req
303. when I was 12 years old,
I had this math teacher, Mr Creighton.
Copy !req
304. Anyway, he used to give us
these pop quizzes all the time.
Copy !req
305. Not about math. They were literally
quizzes about soda pop.
Copy !req
306. So, once, the question was,
Copy !req
307. "What was Mountain Dew's
original name?"
Copy !req
308. So, I wrote Mountain Mist,
Copy !req
309. and then my best friend,
Cindy MacNamara,
Copy !req
310. cheated off my paper,
Copy !req
311. but it was the wrong answer,
because it was a trick question.
Copy !req
312. Mountain Dew
was always called Mountain Dew.
Copy !req
313. Although, little known fact,
Copy !req
314. Mr Pibb, originally called
Señor Brown Water...
Copy !req
315. The point is,
Cindy got the answer wrong,
Copy !req
316. she failed the course and
she had to go to a dumb-girl school.
Copy !req
317. I never even got to sign her yearbook.
Copy !req
318. Okay! I'm just guessing,
Copy !req
319. but what I think Elliot's saying is,
Copy !req
320. you should probably say goodbye
to the people you care about
Copy !req
321. when you have the chance.
Copy !req
322. Yeah.
Copy !req
323. Maybe that's why
you imagined me here,
Copy !req
324. because you don't want to do that.
Copy !req
325. I'm just going to shut up.
Copy !req
326. All right, you want to seal
the godfather deal?
Copy !req
327. Make Jordan feel like she's
the first woman to ever give birth.
Copy !req
328. Congratulate hard or go home.
Copy !req
329. That's French for
"Is there a mama in the house?"
Copy !req
330. Wow, do you look hot
for a woman who just got gutted.
Copy !req
331. Can you believe it, Per?
Copy !req
332. Are you with me? You are! I know I am.
Copy !req
333. What's that smell?
That's the sweet scent of after-birth.
Copy !req
334. Jordan, I am so happy to be in your life
and these are for you.
Copy !req
335. You are in the zone.
Copy !req
336. Now, bring it home
with an emotional voice crack
Copy !req
337. to show the depth of your love.
Copy !req
338. I am so happy for you.
Copy !req
339. Bravo!
Copy !req
340. When are the people I actually
give a crap about showing up?
Copy !req
341. You.
Copy !req
342. I am officially screwed.
Copy !req
343. Don't sweat it.
There's one more way I could stall.
Copy !req
344. And now, shadow puppet theatre.
Copy !req
345. - I'm a dog!
- Lame.
Copy !req
346. Come on, I'm just getting started.
Copy !req
347. Gang, places!
Copy !req
348. Pearl Harbor, December 7th, 1941.
Copy !req
349. It started as a peaceful day,
Copy !req
350. and then...
Copy !req
351. Aggression from the Japanese!
Copy !req
352. This is totally unexpected.
Copy !req
353. Banzai to you, my friend.
Copy !req
354. Ted! There were no alligators
at Pearl Harbor.
Copy !req
355. - Oh, man! Battleships are so boring.
- Back to work!
Copy !req
356. We can also do
the Battle of Gettysburg
Copy !req
357. or the first act of Miss Saigon.
Copy !req
358. What the hell am I going to do?
Copy !req
359. Unfortunately for Dr Cox,
Copy !req
360. that's when Elliot walked by
and showcased her oddest talent.
Copy !req
361. Somebody just had a baby.
Copy !req
362. - How do you know?
- My uterus is glowing.
Copy !req
363. My mom had a uterus.
Copy !req
364. I lived in it.
Copy !req
365. Oh, my God! It was Jordan, wasn't it?
Copy !req
366. Listen carefully, Barbie,
if you mention this to a soul,
Copy !req
367. - so help me, I'll...
- Save it!
Copy !req
368. Not even a killer threat coupled with
that new psychopathic alien head
Copy !req
369. could keep me from telling the world.
Copy !req
370. Congratulations! Oh, Perry!
Copy !req
371. Yes! - And there it was.
Copy !req
372. The birth of Dr Cox's baby
Copy !req
373. would forever be associated
with Laverne's death.
Copy !req
374. And the next time
Dr Cox walked into the ICU,
Copy !req
375. he'd be greeted by a sea of sad faces.
Copy !req
376. Thank you, Bob.
Copy !req
377. - That a boy.
- Janitor.
Copy !req
378. - Congratulations!
- I knew before everyone.
Copy !req
379. In your faces! I knew! Tell them, Perry.
Copy !req
380. It was a long saga...
Copy !req
381. How...
Copy !req
382. How's she doing?
Copy !req
383. - She's hanging on.
- Yeah...
Copy !req
384. You jerk! Why didn't you tell us?
Copy !req
385. Well...
Copy !req
386. Because we all love Laverne
very much.
Copy !req
387. And I know this is going to sound
selfish and crazy,
Copy !req
388. but I didn't want everyone
thinking about her dying
Copy !req
389. every time my daughter has
a birthday party.
Copy !req
390. And by everyone,
Copy !req
391. I mean the three of you
I would actually invite to such an event.
Copy !req
392. No.
Copy !req
393. A baby is a blessing.
Copy !req
394. Besides, when it's time
for something to happen,
Copy !req
395. you've just got to let it happen.
Copy !req
396. And sometimes it takes a little while
to realise that.
Copy !req
397. Yeah.
Copy !req
398. Big dog!
Copy !req
399. And that's when Carla knew
what she had to do.
Copy !req
400. Go on, girl.
Copy !req
401. You can do it.
Copy !req
402. Wow, I'm still not ready to do this.
Copy !req
403. It's going to be so weird
not having you by my side every day.
Copy !req
404. Making fun of the doctors,
going on and on about Jesus.
Copy !req
405. Man, I hope he's real
or you're going to be pissed.
Copy !req
406. Remember my first day,
Copy !req
407. when that patient came in
and started bleeding out on me
Copy !req
408. and I was so shocked
I could barely move?
Copy !req
409. But you stood by my side
and you guided me through it.
Copy !req
410. And then you did
the most amazing thing of all.
Copy !req
411. You made me laugh.
Copy !req
412. For the last 15 years,
you've been my role model,
Copy !req
413. but most of all, you've been my friend.
Copy !req
414. And I don't know
what else to say except
Copy !req
415. I'm really, really gonna miss you.
Copy !req
416. Goodbye.
Copy !req
417. Come here, baby.
Copy !req
418. You can ask any doctor.
Copy !req
419. Sometimes it seems
like patients just hang on
Copy !req
420. until everyone's
had a chance to say goodbye.
Copy !req
421. - Here, boys and girls.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
422. Truth be told, they're on that guy.
Copy !req
423. Friends have a way
of helping you move on
Copy !req
424. even if it's as simple
as changing the subject.
Copy !req
425. Dr Cox, I cannot wait
to see that little baby of yours.
Copy !req
426. Yeah.
Copy !req
427. It must be such a madhouse
with everyone visiting Jordan.
Copy !req
428. What?
Copy !req
429. I only told you guys
and you guys are all here.
Copy !req
430. What's the worst that could happen,
right?
Copy !req
431. They're probably just
forming a line outside
Copy !req
432. to make sure they come in one by one.
Copy !req
433. Screw it. You know what?
You're the godfather.
Copy !req
434. Yes, yes, yes! In your face!
Copy !req
435. - Can you name her Jennifer Dylan?
- Sure, what the hell.
Copy !req
436. And, finally,
there was only one thing left to say.
Copy !req
437. To Laverne.
Copy !req
438. Dr. Cox, I cannot wait
to see that little baby of yours.
Copy !req
439. Yeah.
Copy !req
440. Must be such a madhouse with
everyone visiting Jordan.
Copy !req
441. What?
Copy !req
442. I only told you guys,
and you guys are all here.
Copy !req
443. Eh. What's the worst
that can happen, right?
Copy !req
444. They're probably just forming
a line outside
Copy !req
445. to make sure they come in
one by one.
Copy !req
446. Screw it.
Copy !req
447. You know what?
You're the Godfather.
Copy !req
448. Yes! Yes! Yes! In your face!
Copy !req
449. Can you name her Jennifer Dylan?
Copy !req
450. Sure, what the hell?
Copy !req
451. Ahhh!
Copy !req
452. And finally,
Copy !req
453. there was only
one thing left to say.
Copy !req
454. To Laverne.
