04x14 - Will They or Won't They?

Post by bunniefuu »

I think you'd have to say that this past year was pretty amazing. My boyfriend proposed to me, and he gave me a huge ring.

Will you marry me?

It's real. I checked. Then I gave birth to the world's cutest baby...

I love you, Leo Castellano.

And got my bikini body back, like, overnight.

Yeah.

Even my new fertility practice started to take off, turning frozen eggs into that dollar-dollar bill. Yep, in many ways, it was the best year of my life... that also contained some of the worst moments of my life.

You are bullying me.

We agreed!

Now you're changing your mind?

I thought we could just go one day without talking about this.

I'm just saying I'd like more kids.

Oh, this is a betrayal?

It's a betrayal.

And as for this year?

Let's say that so far it's been... interesting.

They were mean to Rosie Perez.

I like her.

I had no opinion.

Morning, everyone.

Shh.

Hey.

What?

Oh, nothing, it's just normally when you come in, you burst into tears when you walk past Dr. C's old office.

Morgan, what did we say about mentioning you-know-who?

She asked me. What am I supposed to...

Why are we still getting Danny's Italian "Men's Health?"

He hasn't worked her for months.

Oh, didn't mean Danny.

I mean "Daddy," Leo's daddy.

Damn it. Please don't cry.

Guys, it's fine.

I appreciate you being so careful about the breakup.

Things are okay now between me and Danny.

We're on good terms.

Does that mean he's up for grabs?

No, Beverly. I wouldn't like that.

Are you sure you're okay?

'Cause a month ago, I liked a picture of Dr. C on Instagram, and you poisoned my plant.

And I also said, "You're a traitor; you're fired," the comment that I have since deleted.

I'm cool now. In fact, give me his mail.

I'm gonna see him later tonight.

Are you sure that's a good idea?

Yes, I'm just dropping Leo off.

Relax.

It's not like we're gonna get in some big fight where I call him a greaseball and throw his protein powder out the window; I already did that.

Can I tell you something right now?

I'm proud of you, all right?

Thank you, Morgan.

And when you're ready to get back out there, cousin Lou met some great guys on jury duty.

Okay.

It was jury duty for them.

He is a m*rder*r.

Alleged m*rder*r. Alleged, alleged.

I can't believe that it is finally time for Later Baby Spring Break.

I can't believe you actually convinced a bunch of college girls to give up their spring break so you guys could just poke at their private parts.

Why not?

Instead of passing out at a foam party and waking up with a pot leaf tattoo, these girls can spend eight medically supervised days enjoying The Big Apple, topping it all off with a simple procedure to freeze their eggs.

Giving them the reproductive freedom to date a string of losers until their late 30s.

And on my end, I have set up a tour of the quarry for the girls, and if we're lucky, we might see the scuba team discover a body.

Colette, would you be a dear and go start some toast for me?

[scoffs] Oh, fine.

But I might take a couple bites.

Bye.

Uh, Morgan.

Yep.

I'm afraid you can't be a part of Later Baby Spring Break.

You're a convicted felon.

It just wouldn't feel right.

Oh, it wouldn't feel right?

No.

Unfortunately for you, it's Lahiri Fertility Clinic, all right?

So there's one lady I answer to.

Tell 'em, boss.

I'm sorry, Morgan, you can't be part of this.

Dr. K, can you please reason with her?

This is the guy that has a history of seducing college girls.

I've never seduced anyone.

I've told you that many times.

I'm reformed now.

I no longer dabble in coeds.

The last woman I slept with was a paralegal in her 40s.

Afterwards, I played Xbox with her son.

That doesn't really prove anything, I think, maybe.

I'm sorry. It's already done.

Why am I helping?

This is worse than jail.

We are so excited to have you here.

This week is not just about freezing your eggs.

It's also about learning sizzling life hacks from a sexually active young career woman.

Now, don't worry.

For your safety, we have issued each of you a whistle and handkerchiefs for blotting this city's very greasy pizza.

Yeah, and get ready for a week of good, clean fun.

I'm talking the Museum of Poverty.

I'm talking a tour of New York's female statues.

I've even arranged an autograph session at the M&M's store with the green one.

And look who's got tickets to Broadway's biggest sensation, "Hamilton."

Damn.

Can I sell my ticket?

It sounds boring.

What?

You're not interested in the early history of the U.S. Treasury Department?

No, I thought this was supposed to be spring break.

Jody, can't you take us out?

I want to go to the club where Lil Wayne woke up from his coma.

[chuckles]

Well, it's Dr. Kimball-Kinney, and no, I cannot.

I'm sorry, "Shh-lo."

It's not gonna be that kind of spring break.

Actually, alcohol is not permitted on this trip.

It's really not good for your procedure.

Now, take it away, Tamra.

[whistle blasts]

All right, I'm your chaperone, Nurse Webb.

I ain't never had no power before, and I do plan on abusing it.

Now, let's get into some gowns for your initial exams.

Come on, "Shh-lo."

Hustle up.

Hazing, hazing, hazing!

Let's get these pap smears crackin'.

Come on, ladies.

[jazzy music]

Now, don't forget.


You're chaperoning with Tamra tonight.

You've got to be at the Richard Rogers by 7:30.

If you're late, they won't let you in till after the Revolutionary w*r.

Chill, man. I've been to a play before.

I've seen "Thunder From Down Under" like, nine times.

I just have to drop Leo off at Danny's first.

[elevator bell dings]

[clears throat]

[exhales]

[clears throat]

[clears throat]

Do you want to say something to me?

It's just I've noticed that you and Danny are spending an awful lot of time together for a couple that's broken up.

Okay, all right, we share a son.

And if he spends all of his time with Danny, he's gonna turn on me.

The other day, he knocked a Dorito out of my hand and said, "Mama, no. Just chill it."

A lot of time.

That's all I'm saying.

We can be broken up and still spend time in the same room.

Danny and I are having a modern uncoupling, like Coldplay in "Goop."

Yeah?

Yeah.

That's my boy.

Hey, come on in. Let's go. Thank you.

Oh, some mail came for you at work.

Oh, great. Thanks, appreciate it.

Whoa, is that a lasagna I smell or one of your weight-loss candles?

That is the real deal right there.

Hey, why don't you come in?

Wanna have some and, I don't know, maybe stay for story time with Leo?

I ca... mm.

Come in.

Uh, okay.

Okay.

Great.

All right.

Good night, pal.

Good night, sweetheart.

Sleep happy.

Don't let the bedbugs bite.

Can I just say you are a captivating storyteller?

Thank you.

It's fun to read a children's book to someone who's always surprised by the end.

You know, just make sure...

Leo's asleep.

How was "Hamilton" last night?

It was great.

That is not in "Hamilton" what you're doing right now.

Admit it. You didn't even go to the show.

Okay, you're right.

You're right; I didn't go to see "Hamilton" last night.

I was hanging out with Danny.

But, Jody, he plied me with lasagna.

He wove me these amazing tales of a bear that lost a button, a hat guy, and a monkey.

One thing led to another, and...

I told you this would happen.

He's still got his hook in your mouth.

He just gave you a little extra line so he could reel you back in.

I am not a fish, Jody.

I am a woman, who, yes, one time ate a worm to pledge a sorority.

But what's the big deal anyway?

Wasn't Tamra with the girls?

It was horrible, Dr. L.

They were drunk before Hamilton had even proposed the national bank, which I still think gives the federal government too much power.

They got kicked out of the theater, then they ran around the city cutting dogs loose from their leashes.

They cut who from their what?

Morgan, just give us a moment.

Okay, I'll go, but these girls are sick, and if I had come with you, none of this would have ever happened.

It's the new teen bad behavior trend, "leashing," and I ain't never even heard of it until last night.

Oh, no. Am I old?

It gets worse.

Check this out.

They leashed some pretty prominent dogs.

I'm sorry, if I could just take a quick moment.

Frisbee, if you're listening, I miss you so much.


[gasps]

I can't believe that our last conversation was a fight.

If you come back, I won't ever run the vacuum cleaner around you ever again, because I know you hate that, and as for you, New York, please join me in wearing a gray ribbon until Frisbee is found.

Stay strong, Frisbee. Stay Frisbee-strong, everyone.

We'll be right back with Ruth Bader Ginsburg.


I saw dozens of those gray ribbons on the subway.

I thought it was to prevent old people from driving.

Get your asses in here.

Sit down.

You girls are out of control.

And this is coming from a girl who got so drunk, she fell out of the basket of a hot-air balloon.

Your parents sent you here to freeze your eggs, not wild out.

What's "wild out" mean?

Is that like "slaying" from the early 2000s?

[laughter]

Okay, okay, okay, okay, Tamra, it's not worth it.

I knew it, I knew it; this city has corrupted these girls.

It's corrupted them all.

It's not a surprise, really. It happens to everyone.

Just the other day, I ate with my elbows on the table.

This is supposed to be spring break.

One of my friends is already missing in Aruba.

When you guys came to my college, Jody led me to believe this trip would be a lot more fun.

Hey, it's not Jody.

It's Dr. Kimball-Kinney, which, yeah, is hard to say.

But if we have to say it, so do you.

I'm sorry it's come to this, but I think it's time to implement a lock-in right here tonight at this practice.

Tamra will gather your personal effects from the hotel.

What's a lock-in? Is it like a sleepover?

Sort of.

Yes.

I'm great at sleepovers.

I will do any dare in a Truth-or-Dare.

One time, I snuck upstairs, touched my friend's dad's penis while he was sleeping.

What?

All right.

Dr. Lahiri, I think you can... you can take the night off.

I didn't, like, rub it or anything.

I just touched it.

Your priorities have been made clear.

I'm sorry. Are you trying to kick me out?

I'm just suggesting...

Absolutely not, Jody.

You know why? This is my business.

These are girls are my everything.

They all idolize me.

Come on, squad.

Whoa.

Okay, I stepped in a trash can; it's fine.

Come on, girls.
