06x06 - Everybody Loves Ray, Man

[bunniefuu]

HANK:
Previously on Royal Pains...

Well, if you don't
like our new rates,

then of course you're free
to use another facility.

You have the only imaging and
lab facilities in the area.

Yeah.

This could be the last
summer of HankMed.

You poached my nanny?

Typical new-mom mistake.

Never introduce a great
nanny to a desperate mother.

So, now, tomorrow, I'll have to
spend all day interviewing nannies.

The ironic part being that, while
I'll have 12 nannies in your kitchen,

I'll have no one to watch
over Sashi.

Hey, what's the score?

I've got to get
a picture of Ricky.

You're probably not going
to get much for that photo.

Oh, I was just going to put it on
Instagram for my friends back home.

I thought you were going to try
and sell it to SnarkHampton.

How did, uh,
SnarkHampton get it?

I guess someone sold it to them.

Paige found us a new patient.
Ray Mazzarino.

The Mob guy?

I need rugs, tables,
pictures, the works.

And I want the best.

What's this? A down payment
on a HankMed retainer.

You take cash, right?

I wish we could start
our own hospital.

Anyway, Section Four, it states that
reimbursement to Berger and Lawson

for any items purchased for your house
is to be paid within three days.

That is, if three days
sounds reasonable?

I'm also sorry things got so far

without us ever meeting
to discuss the terms.

You know?
Here you go, Uncle Ray.

That's not how we do business normally.
I find that it...

Anyway, Section 4-A
discusses non-payment.

An event, of course, which I doubt
I'll ever live to see. Uh...

Which is not to say that I think
anything's going to happen to me.

You know, that was kind
of just a figure of speech.

You don't like what
my designer picked out?

Uh, no, I love
the Italian accents.

It's just, you've created such a
strong Novecento motif in there,

it makes the Baroque pieces
feel a little heavy.

Bottom line, loves the Italian.

So moving right along
to Section 4-B...

Can you find me something to replace
it with that works? By tomorrow night?

There's an estate auction
in Sagaponack in the morning.

Which would require a
completely separate contract.

My wife, Olivia, is
coming to opening night.

This is a big step
towards winning her back.

Table for two,
her favorite Barolo.

I need everything to be perfect.

How fast can you show
me something?

I have the book in my car.

Yes, which we should look at
after we finalize the terms.

Hi, Paige.
Hi, Hank.

Bye, Paige.
Bye, Hank.

Ray, I just got your text.
What's going on?

My cabinet's Baroque.

Don't say it, Henry...
Then, fix it.

Yeah, because if it's
Baroque, then you fix it.

I'm sorry about him.

Wait. Evan, how do you
know my doctor?

Passaic, thirty-something
years ago.

My parents brought him home from the
hospital, and I still can't get rid of him.

Doesn't help that
he's the CFO of HankMed.

You're the guy, huh?

I wouldn't go that far.

Art baron, medical exec.

You came out here to the Hamptons,
got everything completely wired.

Well, kind of, yeah. And you keep
your business in the family.

I respect that.

Okay. What about you, Ray?

How's your energy level been
since you left the hospital?

Oh, I'm fine.
I called about my chef.

Oh.
Um...

Hey, Passaic.

Draw up whatever terms you need.

I'll check 'em over later.

I trust you.

Take a break, Franklin. Let Dr.
Lawson check you out.

Oh, yeah, sure. I could take a break.
No problem.

Or I've got an idea. Why don't you come
over here and urinate in my consommé?

Your consommé is
going to be fine.

Fine? Oh, good.
Okay, good.

We're striving for
"fine" around here now.

Was Beethoven's Ninth just fine? I don't
think so. I think it was perfection.

But then again, why would I
expect a restaurant owner to get

that a hundred different ingredients,
like musical notes, can blend together

to form something greater?
Something transcendent.

You're transcending my patience.

Not to mention wasting time
working with one arm.

Now, move it.
Whatever. All right.

Hector, come here.

Stay on my consommé, all right?

Hi, I'm Hank.
Let me take a look.

All right. Yeah,
it's a little tender.

Okay. Wow.
What happened here?

Injured in the line
of duty. Mandolin fight.

I've had worse.
I've got the scars

and the cabinet full
of antibiotics to prove it.

Huh. It's not
clotting on its own.

No. Do you have any
cornstarch here?

Yeah, right over there.

Okay. Just hold
that for me?

What are you going to do? You
going to cure me with gravy?

Sort of, actually. Cornstarch
is a natural clotting agent.

Oh.
Give me your arm.

Yeah. I didn't know that.
Yeah.

So, this mandolin fight. Was it more
boxing match, or drunken brawl?

Oh, very good. Very good, Ray.
That's clever.

That's his super subtle way of asking
if I was loaded when I did this.

Oh, really?
Why would he think you were?

Not so long ago, in a far
off land called Manhattan,

there was a young, hot chef
who had lines out the door.

He had a book deal on the hook.

He also liked to drink
a little too much.

Anyway, long story short,
downward spiral this,

irreversible professional
damage that,

and here I am, a changed man.

A little clumsy,
but totally bum sober.

Good for you.
Thank you.

Well, would you
look at that? Holy cow.

I've got a whole new
respect for cornstarch.

I like this guy, Ray.

What the hell is he doing
hanging out with you?

Hoping you'll stop talking
and get back to your soup.

It's not soup, Ray. It's consommé.
I think you heard me.

I never met an owner who
knows a gratin from a glaze.

But, you know, Ray's a good guy.

He was the only one who was willing
to give me a second chance.

So, I've just got to stay clean.

Sounds like a good plan.

[NATE HUMMING]

Hi, Nate.

Hi. She's ready
to fall asleep.

We had a really big day.

We had tummy time, song time.

Wound down with
a little baby massage.

And I'd keep your phone on these next
few days, 'cause I've got a feeling

this little girl's going to
start crawling any minute.

Well, I will certainly try.
I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay.
Oh, Miss Katdare?

Um, before I started last week,

I put my name in for a
childhood development class

that meets two nights a week.

Today, I found out I got a spot.

Um. I really
enjoy this job,

and I don't want to
jeopardize it.

Like, at all.

So, if that doesn't work for
you, I totally understand.

Um, but you're usually home most
nights by 7:00 anyway, so...

I thought I'd ask.

I'll think about it.

Uh, yeah.

[SIGHS]

Hi, Sashi. Mommy missed
you all day long.

Um...

Hey. Ready to go check out
the future site of HankLab?

I think this one's
going to be it.

I don't think it is.

No, I can feel it
in my bones, Jeremiah.

Bones we'll soon be able to image in the
diagnostic wing of HankLab. I'm so excited.

No, I just spoke to
the real estate agent.

Apparently, the square
footage is insufficient.

Okay. That's fine. You know what?
That's great.

Let's just go check out that other place.
That place in Montauk.

Unfortunately, that's even more expensive
than the place we saw yesterday.

Which places aren't too
expensive or too small?

Like, what the heck? We're on
Long Island, for God's sakes.

It's a... It's a long island.
There's got to be something.

HankLab was supposed to be
the solution to our problems.

Get us out from under the thumb of stupid
Symphony and their stupid new rates.

Now, it's just turning
into a freaking disaster.

Disaster?
What's the disaster?

Just some high-class
problems, really.

HankMed's looking to grow,

and we're having trouble finding
the right space, that's all.

Well, I've grown a business or
two against some long odds.

[PHONE BEEPING]
Maybe I can help.

Come find me inside.
We'll talk.

What do you think?

I mean, decorating his
house is one thing.

But should we really be...

You know, going inside
with this guy?

We should at least hear
what he has to say.

If we can't find a place, we may need
to devise a new strategy for HankMed.

If we can't find a place,
there won't be any HankMed.

HANK: Hey. What you doing?

Uh, just girl stuff.

[CHUCKLES]
Oh.

I mean, not that I can
afford any of this.

But, dare to dream. Right?

Yeah.

DIVYA: Thank you so much

for the clothes
you sent, Lorena.

Do you think Sashi
will wear them?

[CHUCKLES] I'm sure that

when she's old enough
to play soccer,

she'll never take that
tiny uniform off.

Don't forget.

My granddaughter
is half Argentinean.

She must wear the white
and the blue.

You send more pictures, and
I'll send you more clothes.

Oh. You drive
a hard bargain, Lorena.

But you know what?
You've got a deal.

Adios.
Adios.

Seems like you and Lorena
are getting close.

She's been wonderful to Sashi.

And it's been nice for me,
too, as a mother.

Everything I want now,
I want as a mother.

And what I want for Sashi
is for her to feel

the presence and the
tradition of her family.

Her whole family.

Yeah.
Of course you do.

[SIGHS]

I mean, really.

Who would have thought
that I, of all people,

would be craving
family tradition?

Actually, I would have
thought that.

The Divya I first met three
years ago was running away

from expectations,
trying to find herself.

And there's no question
you've done that.

I mean, you're confident,
successful.

The most independent
woman I know.

So, now, you have room
in your life for tradition.

Without feeling
suffocated by it.

It makes all the sense
in the world.

Especially for a mother.
A wonderful mother.

Thank you, Hank.

I don't know what I'd do
without you and your wisdom.

Well, yeah. That's
the other amazing thing

that's happened in your life.

What would be really amazing would
be if I could find an amazing nanny.

I'm going to have to take
another day off

to do another round
of interviews.

I thought you liked number five.

He was a better cook
than one and four,

though not quite
as neat as three.

Or was two the neat one?

He's the one who's already got
one foot out of the door.

You know, and things
are hard enough.

But I absolutely refuse to be b*rned
again by one of these nannies.

Hey, hey, hey.
Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm fine. I'm sorry.

I think I'm frustrated.

Look, this is the person you're
counting on for the care of your child.

Of course it's not
an easy decision.

You just take all the time
you need.

Are you Divya?

Yes. I am so sorry.

This is the fifth garage door
I've tried before finding you.

How's your father?

Like every crew chief
preparing for a time trial.

Except mine has a history of
cardiac arrest and a pacemaker.

And you're worried because...

He's usually working on the
engine, carrying the tires.

Every time he tries to
use his left hand, he can't.

And I know that left arm weakness can
have something to do with your heart.

Don't be mad,
but I called a doctor.

Come on, Ash.

Carl Edwards' guys could
be here any minute.

So could Carl Edwards.

How's it going?
You must be Ashley?

[STUTTERS] I am.

This is my father, Dave.

Hi. Nice to meet you.
How are you doing?

Don't be so mad at her, Dave.

It seems like she's just
looking out for you.

See? See? But how do
you know who I am?

Well, I keep my eye on the
next generation of racers.

We're always looking for
top talent to mentor.

Plus, your name is right
here on your race car.

[CHUCKLES] You think I would
have figured that out.

I mean, it's really
a newbie mistake.

My first six Sprint Cup Series races,
I actually drove the wrong car.

Oh, really?

No. No. You should...

You should listen to your dad. Your
friend here seems a little bit gullible.

Plus, I'd really like
to see you win.

So, good luck.
Thanks.

DAVE: Nice to meet you, Carl.

You see that, baby?

Carl Edwards is pulling
for you. This is it.

And since the only thing around here
that needs tuning up is her engine,

can we get on with this, please?

Hey.

Gentlemen, welcome to one of my
latest real estate acquisitions,

and the future of HankMed.

It will be fully wired for
electric at 110 and 220.

Zoned AC with optional
counter-flow units

and upgradable modular plumbing.

The landlord will even install
whatever flooring you choose.

I hear he's a great guy.
And very handsome.

Wow.

EVAN: This is big.

There might even be room
for a fluoroscopy suite.

No, I mean,
like, "Big."

If we can go beyond
our own needs...

Think about it. If we can offer
affordable prices to other practices,

Jeremiah, this could be a
huge opportunity for growth.

I love the way you think, kid.

Always looking for the upside,

but never losing
the personal touch.

Clearly HankMed is not just a
business to you. It's a way of life.

Ray. I could totally
hug you right now.

Um, but I'm pretty sure the rental
price is going to actually k*ll me.

So, just tell me what
it is really fast.

Oh, Passaic, a good relationship
should not have to hurt.

Unless you're into
that sort of thing.

[LAUGHING]

Right?

I think the healthcare industry
is poised for massive growth,

and I'd like to learn
the economics.

So, why not cut you
a break on the rent?

To me, it will be an investment
in knowledge capital.

Ray? I am ready
for that hug now.

Let's not.
What is that sound?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[PHONE BEEPING] Oh, that's
just the place next door.

Oh, yeah?
What place is that?

Yeah?

Okay.

This is, uh...
This is okay.

HankMed can't open its diagnostic
center next to a place where women

take off their clothes.

Well, I'm not a doctor,

but technically, our patients will
also be taking off their clothes.

Look, I've done
my research, okay?

Ray's a major player in construction,
import l export, and urban services.

The guy's smart, Jeremiah.
He knows what he's doing.

And he thinks we
can put a lab here.

Besides, we need this.

We're talking the
future of HankMed.

Yes, we are. And that future shouldn't share
a wall with women in their underwear.

Well, I don't know what to say.

You're the medical director,
I'm the CFO.

What do you propose we do?

We should take this to Hank.

Yeah.

Hey, Ray.
What seems to be the...

What did you do to your hand?

Oh, I'm not the patient.

Look at him. Drunk as a
skunk on opening day.

I cooked skunk one time.

Tasted like chicken.
Like smelly, smelly chicken.

Ow. Ow. Ow.
Okay. Okay.

You broke his nose.
Well, I warned him.

Tonight's about Olivia.

Ray, I need you to leave.

Are you seriously trying to tell me
what to do in my own restaurant?

I'm a doctor, treating a patient
injured in your restaurant by you.

So, yeah, seriously, go.

Mmm. Take a hike, Ray.

Is it broken really?

It's really broken.

Oh, for crying out loud.

On a scale of one to ten,
how severe is your weakness?

Honestly, I haven't even
thought about it.

This time trial's too important
for things like that.

Today's all about Ashley.

Uh, hold your arms up like this, please.
And push up against my hands.

Thank you.

Excuse my ignorance, but a time trial
doesn't even sound like a race.

Well, races come and go. This is
the opportunity of a lifetime.

Carl Edwards' team is looking
for a new driver.

So they brought together
all these top amateurs.

Whoever clocks the fastest four laps is
going to get their sh*t at the big time.

Well, I'm happy to report your
EKG is completely normal.

But your left arm is weaker
than your right arm.

Which is most likely
musculo-skeletal in nature.

Anything from
a strained ligament,

to an irritated nerve,
to a muscle tear.

But to be safe, I'll keep an eye on
you until the time trial is over.

Great. In the meantime, can I get
back to fine-tuning machines

instead of being
hooked up to one?

Yes...

In a second.

I barely had anything
to drink. I didn't...

A couple sips of wine with
the pairing menu. That's it.

Okay, just look straight
ahead for me.

Drunken behavior can sometimes be a
sign of neurological impairment.

That's why I want to make sure
we're not missing anything.

Uh-huh.
Stand up for me.

I want you to walk a straight
line just like I am right now.

Okay, I'm putting one foot in
front of the other. All right.

Yeah. I must
have been impaired to

work with a guy whose idea of high culture
is putting the yogurt on top of the fruit.

Okay, good. So, get yourself
cleaned up and get off my terrace.

Don't worry about it, Ray.
I'm going to leave, all right?

Just as soon as this guy tapes
my nose back onto my face.

Okay, Franklin, have a seat. No, no, no.
You're going back in the kitchen.

I don't have time to find another chef
before tonight. Let alone a sober one.

I'm telling you, man,
I had, like, two...

I had, like, maybe three
sips of wine, maximum.

Tell him, Hank. Okay, okay.
You are a little off-balance.

But otherwise,
neurologically intact.

So before we do any further workup, I'm
going to order a blood alcohol test.

Sounds good to me.

I just... I don't understand.
You're just...

You're concerned about
a 17-year-old girl because

she was not shopping
on the Internet?

The more I get to know Emma, the more
I sense that she wants something...

Something bigger.

When she helped me with that
patient at the barbecue

and didn't bat an eye
at all that blood,

it just... It really felt
like she was my sister.

You know?
And as her brother,

I want to be there to
expose her to things.

Help her get everything
she wants out of life.

Like you exposed me to accounting when you
didn't like where life was taking me?

You wanted to be a movie star.
Life was not taking you there.

Then why did the Passaic High
Courier say my turn in Pippin

quote,
"Breathed new vitality..."

Because you wrote that review.

Yeah.

I want to talk to her.
You know, I actually, um...

I picked up some brochures
from a few local colleges.

Which one?
Hello, gentlemen.

Hello.

Have you dined with us before?

No, we have not.

Any recommendations?

Remember the Alamo.
Speak truth to power.

Be the change that
you wish to see.

Nice. You've been waiting all day
to use that one, haven't you?

Yes. Also, the halibut
is really good.

Here, I'll get you guys
some menus.

MAN: Waitress?

It's a thank you.
From Oz.

Uh, the Oz that
runs SnarkHampton?

Thanks. But I only
gave him one photo.

Oh, no, no. This is for the next one.
And so is this.

Oz thinks that you might be of some value.
You work at the right place.

And that picture
of you from this morning?

That will get you into
all the other right places.

[CELL PHONE BEEPING]

That guy just gave her
a hundred bucks? Yeah.

Yeah, she's slumming here, Henry. You
definitely better go expose her to more.

That's not my point.
Speaking of exposure.

Ray's lab space?
Great. Like, amazing.

There's just one little
adjacent business issue...

See, Emma is a bright,
confident young woman.

I want her to know that there's more
to life than some job where people

think they can slap down some
cash and get whatever they want.

Oh, my God, exactly.

Sorry. Sorry. You were saying
something about Ray's space?

Hmm? No. No, that's...
That can wait.

Hey, there.

You're not working.

I am.
Just inside my head.

Oh.

And you've barely touched your water.
Is something wrong?

To save my business we have
to find a new location

where we can offer
expanded services.

But the only place we can afford
is directly adjacent to an...

[STUTTERS]
Adult establishment.

Um... Which, for a medical
practice, is obviously...

Not ideal.

So, what, are you the
manager of this practice?

No, I'm actually
the Medical Director.

You're a doctor.

Hmm.

So, tell me, Doctor.

Why is an adult establishment
not ideal?

It's inappropriate.

Because of the whole...

I mean, the people
that go there...

I mean, the people
that work there...

They're, you know...

Have you ever been to one?

No.

Why?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

You're right.
This is not distasteful.

Of course it's not. These are regular
women trying to make a living.

Like, take a look
at this beautiful girl.

I don't think you're
allowed to...

Jeremiah, meet
my neighbor, Hope.

Hey, I guess now
she's your neighbor, too.

Nice to meet you. Make sure you
take care of my girl here.

[COUGHS]

MAN: Hope, you're up.

HOPE: Excuse me. I have
to go back to rehearsal.

She seems nice.

She is nice. You know,
most of the girls here,

this is their first job.

I mean, you didn't wake up one
day just being a doctor, right?

Hmm? Oh, no.
No?

How did you get your start?

Eyeball courier.

What?

Eyeball courier.

Eyeball courier.

In med school, when there were local
accidents that involved a fatality,

I would be called in
to harvest the corneas

and pack them in a special cooler
to be sent for transplant.

How did you get that job?

I had the cooler.

[LAUGHING]

What was the worst
job you ever had?

Um, tending bar
at the Summerhouse.

Maybe you've heard of it?
[CHUCKLES]

You won't work there forever.

No, no, no. I've always
had the idea of

helping people who are in pain.

So, once I iron out
a couple of problems,

I'm going to get my physical
therapist license.

What kind of problems?

Nothing I can't handle.

But if it doesn't work out,
do you still have that cooler?

[LAUGHING]

Hey. Whose turn is it to
go first with Bob today?

And what are we going
to talk about?

Um, the fact that my husband
gets dressed up for therapy?

What? No. This might be my
last chance to get changed

before dinner at Ray's tonight.

Guys like him appreciate
business attire.

Okay. Two days ago, you
were warning me about Ray.

The guy gives you one
compliment and suddenly

you're rolling over to let
him scratch your tummy.

I'm... What?

Nobody's scratching anybody. Just turns out
we come from the same people. That's all.

People who wear a cravat
on weeknights?

Okay, here's the thing.

You know who never
conquered the Hamptons?

Mmm... The Dutch?
Genghis Khan?

[GASPS]
Cheesecake Factory?

Very good guesses.
But no.

People who work for free.
That's who.

What?

You and Russel bought pieces for
Ray's restaurant without even

looking over the terms
of the contract.

He said he would sign it this afternoon.
Is that a problem?

Yes, it could be, if he starts
seeing you guys as pushovers.

Excuse me. Pushovers?

Yes. Nobody wants to hire someone
who looks too eager, Paige.

People will want to hire us
because we're good at what we do.

The reason we're working for Ray
is because he respects our taste.

Okay, he may like your taste.

But that's not what this is about.
It's about leverage, Paige.

Leverage. That's what guys like
me and Ray respect. Leverage.

Oh, yeah.
Guys like you and Ray.

Yeah. Movers and shakers.
You know, self-made men.

All right.
You ready to go to Bob's?

Uh, yeah. And I am
definitely going first.

Don't...

I'm wearing that thing.

Hey. Hey, Doc. Let
me borrow your nose,

since mine is
still out of service.

Okay. [SNIFFS]
It's perfect.

You should stick to doctoring.
Hector.

A pig couldn't find the truffle in here.
Come on. Snap to it.

Well, you seem to be doing better.
Yeah.

But I need you to be
honest here.

Did you drink more today
than you claimed?

No. It was just those
few sips. All right? Why?

Because I got your blood alcohol
level back. It was off the charts.

Come here.

I did feel drunk earlier. And on Tuesday.
And on Sunday.

It was twice. Maybe three times. I
don't even know. But the point is,

I used to be able to drink a
bottle before breakfast. Okay?

And I could still cook
a Michelin-rated lunch.

And now, I can't even
have three sips, I'm wasted.

What's happening to me?

There are several
possibilities, okay?

It could be liver disease.
Oh, my God.

It could be chronic
kidney conditions.

So, things that I did to myself.

Well, not necessarily.
The list is long.

Yeah, well, so is my list
of bad decisions.

I was young, thought
I was bulletproof.

Like, who thought it was going to
wreck my career and my health?

Look. We don't know
anything yet. Okay?

For right now, I don't want
you drinking another drop.

Yeah, obviously.

Then, tomorrow, I'll take you in
for a series of scans and tests.

And once we know what's going on,
we can make a plan of att*ck.

All right.

DAVE: All right. All right.

You've got to tick sooner.

They're b*ating you
by two tenths.

Dad, I'm on it. You're
giving me a good sign.

Hey, Dave, you okay?

I'm fine. I'm fine. It's these
corners I'm worried about.

Come on, sweetheart.
You got this.

That's it, Ash.

There you go.

She's got the lead.
Two laps to go.

[GASPING]

Dave.

How am I looking?

Okay. Okay.
Your airway is clear.

Dave, I need you to remain calm.

ASHLEY:
Dad, are you there?

Where are you?

Dad? Dad. Somebody tell
me what's going on.

I'm right here with him.

Divya. Divya, put him on.
Let me talk to him.

DIVYA: I can't.
Let me talk to him!

I can't, Ashley.

Dad!

Okay, Dave.

All right. What...
What are you doing? What.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Dave. Just let me
breathe for you, all right?

I think I know what's happening.

Dad. Dad, what's going on?
He's having a heart att*ck.

No. It's his pacemaker,
Ashley. Hold this.

Hold this here.
Squeeze.

Um, where's your
father's magnet?

Um, in his pockets, usually.

Good. I'm going to use
this to reset his pacemaker.

After this, he should be fine.

It's not working.

I'm going to have to
use an anesthetic.

I'm going to have to make a small incision.
All right, Dave.

You're going to feel
a little pinch.

All right.

Just breathe.

Okay, that wasn't so bad.

I'm not quite done yet.

What is that?
His pacemaker.

Oh.

Okay. You can stop now.
He can breathe.

Okay.

Pacemakers aren't tied down.

They sit loose in a pocket
just under the skin.

And those wires, they're
supposed to be in your heart.

Okay, you can sit up now. You're
going to feel much better.

Okay.

Dad.

You fidget when you're nervous.

And as you can see, today,
you fidgeted with this enough

to wrap the wire around
it like a yo-yo.

Is that why he couldn't breathe?
Yes.

Once he pulled the wire
tips out of his heart,

they stimulated
everything they touched.

Including the nerve
to your diaphragm.

We refer to this habit
as Twiddler's Syndrome.

So, it wasn't a heart att*ck?

No. Just concern
for your daughter.

Ashley, I'm so sorry
about the trial.

Divya had it under control.
You didn't have to come in.

Of course I did. I don't care
about my time. I only...

For as long as I can remember,

the one thing that I could always
count on was hearing your voice.

No matter where I was, or what I
was doing, I knew when I heard it,

you were right there
with me, and I was safe.

And then, when I was out there
and I didn't hear you...

And you couldn't...

[SOBBING]

EMMA: So, I've been
doing some thinking.

Hmm?

There is a big,
wide world out there,

with so much new to explore.

Yeah.
Yeah.

And I know that if you don't reach for your
dreams, they could be gone in a heartbeat.

Totally.

And that's why I think that
you should go back to college.

You think...
You think I should...

Wait a second.
What are you...

You left these in the kitchen.

And I mean, no offense, because I
really do appreciate the thought.

But, uh, you barely know me.

So, let's not do this.

You know what? You're right.
I do barely know you.

All I know is that everyone needs someone
to bounce things off of now and then.

So, I guess all this was just my way of
volunteering to be that person for you.

Thanks.

But, I mean, you're that
person for everybody.

So, I guess I'm curious. Who
do you bounce things off of?

Oh. Um...

Okay. Well, then, this is me
offering to be that person for you.

I accept.

Good. Um...

Yeah, and I don't want us to
hide things from one another.

Your fancy new phone.

Oh. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, a 17-year-old
girl's got to text, right?

[GIGGLING] Lol!

Oh, LOL. Right. Got it.

LOL.

Hey. So, I just want to talk to you about
a little wrinkle with Ray's lab space.

Okay? We know it's a problem.
About that.

You know Ray broke
Franklin's nose, right?

I just... I'm fine with
him as a patient, but,

do we really want to do business
with someone so impulsive?

We're not, like, doing business with him.
We're just renting his space.

Look. The only real conversation
point here is that it's next to a...

Well, it's a, uh...
It's a burlesque club.

But it's very clean inside.

And we can put up soundproofing
and use the back lot for parking.

And the women employed there work for
a living, just like everyone else,

and shouldn't be judged.
So, we shouldn't judge them.

Sounds like you guys have this
all under control. Great work.

Oh, boy. Don't tell me. The
food is terrible. I know.

So, the big sh*t chef
comes through after all.

Franklin, your cooking
is magnificent.

Your nose. Well, it was
not great to begin with.

It won't happen again.

But, here. Come.
Please, eat.

Oh. Yeah. No, thank you. That's
great, but we're still open. So...

Are you refusing to eat with me?

Hey, it's your
restaurant, right?

Boss man tells
me to eat, I'll eat.

Let's do it. Come on.
Put her down.

Whoa, this looks good.

Oh, my God. That is good.
Who made this?

You did.
I did this?

Excuse me.
Are you Paige Lawson?

Cat Greenleaf.
I am.

My husband and I
are buying a summer home.

And I love the things you found for
the bar. Do you have a minute?

Yeah, of course.
Great.

And if you liked those, there's
this neoclassical set...

You know, that's probably a discussion
better left for your initial consultation.

So, she's actually booking,
like, two weeks out right now.

Why don't you just give
us a call? Okay?

Or why don't you tell her when she's
ready to talk, to give me a call?

All right. Sure.
Okay. Thanks.

Ah?

What?

Listen, Passaic. I know
you're trying to help,

but Russel and I don't
want to build an empire.

So, go take over the
Hamptons for someone else.

I'm going to run
my business the way I want.

Paige.

Who is it?

Who is it?

[GIGGLING]

I guess she didn't
roll over today after all.

So, you didn't miss anything.

Yeah, I did.

Thank you.

In fact, thank you
for all of your help.

Sashi and I are very lucky
to have you, Nate.

One more thing.

I think that you should
take that class.

Really?
Mmm-hmm.

That's awesome.

Uh, thanks.

I'll see you in the morning.

Yes? You want this?
You want this? Okay. Oh.

Mama... Mama was twiddling
with your nannies.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah. I thought it was because
I disapproved of them.

Yeah. But turns out, it was
because they got to be with you.

But I've made a decision.

I'm going to start
working part-time.

Yeah.

Now, all we have to do is, uh,

work out how to tell Uncle Hank.

And Aunt Evan.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

She didn't come.

Your wife.

Not even a call.

I'm sorry.

Eh. It's my own fault.

See, when Olivia and I
were together,

I paid more attention to
my work than I did to her.

She wanted out of our Jersey
life, out of my life.

And I didn't...
I just didn't listen.

And now...

Well, I'm sure she appreciates
how hard you're trying.

Look at all these beautiful people
here on this beautiful night.

You're so beautiful.
[LAUGHING]

Oh, my God. You know what's
missing in this restaurant, Ray?

It's the... The music. Why
is there no music in here?

Franklin, why don't you get back to
the kitchen? What are you doing?

Get off the table.

He's right, Franklin.
Come on down.

It's okay, because I
brought my own band.

[MAKING TRUMPET SOUNDS]

What are you doing?

Come on, man.

[FRANKLIN GROANING]

Franklin.

[LAUGHING]

[GRUNTS]

Oh, whoever's foot that is,
that's got to hurt.

I can't find a pulse.

Franklin, you've fractured
and dislocated your ankle.

It's compressing the artery
and the skin is tinting.

If I don't reduce it now to re-establish the
blood supply, you could lose your foot.

Uh-oh. Oh.

Okay. All right,
this is going to hurt.

[CHUCKLING]
Or not.

Oh! Oh! Oh, yeah.
[LAUGHING]

[BONES CRUNCHING]

Good?

Okay. I've got a pulse.

Oh.

I have auto-what?
Auto-brewery syndrome.

And that's a thing?
That's a thing.

It's an overgrowth of yeast in
your stomach that turns carbs,

like those in bread and
pasta, into alcohol.

We'll need cultures to confirm it,
but I suspect it was caused by

your excessive use of antibiotics from
all your previous kitchen injuries.

I wasn't getting drunk on wine,
I was getting drunk on food?

That's right.

I'm like a walking home brew
kit is what you're telling me?

That's what I'm telling you.
Oh, man.

And after a few weeks of
antifungal pills, you'll be fine.

Although your ankle might
take a little longer.

Yeah. But I can
go back to work?

Yeah. Ray says it's fine with him.
Especially since you can't dance.

Are you talking about now,

or are you commenting on my table
dancing skills from earlier?

Oh, no, you had some moves.

Recognize.

Ah.

You know, what we've
got here, Hackensack,

is something great.

You and me...
[SCOFFS]

Those Symphony people think
they're going to bury us.

They're not. We're going to bury them.
You know why?

Because we know what
matters, you and me.

Roots, hard work, and family.

Am I right?

Damn right, you're right.
[CHUCKLES]

In fact, I was just
thinking, Passaic.

Forget about these lease terms
and deposits and contracts.

Let's make this easy.

Do it as partners.
The whole lab.

You and me. Fifty-fifty.

Clean, easy, simple.

Yeah, that's great.

Partners. Uh...

I mean, extended ownership,
it's a pretty big step.

Especially while we get our finances
in order with the equipment rentals

and the regulatory guidelines

but yeah, that's definitely
something we should plan on

having a discussion about
in the future. For sure.

Evan.

We just had the discussion.
