them up to the register,

and the clerk didn't realize
the cards were still in the box,

and we were in a hurry
'cause it was snowing.

Bottom line... We get home,

we realize the cards are still in there.

We didn't pay for the cards.

So I tell my dad, "We got to go back.

We got to go back and pay for these."

And he looks at me, and he says...

[AS JAVIER] "Mijo, what
are you talking about?

It's cents' worth of notecards.

Who cares? Nobody cares."

But he saw my face,
and he knew that I cared.

He... He put his work boots back on,

and we trudged through the snow

all the way back to Coolidge Corner.

He was complaining the whole time.

But on the way back...

we had the most epic snowball fight

of all time.

Father versus son,

"Beyond Thunderdome."

I mean, we're just pelting each other

with snowballs, right?

And one of my dad's
snowballs sails wide right

and... splat!

Nails the mailman in the face.

And we look at each other.
We're like, "Holy crap!"

[LAUGHTER]

Because the dude is huge!

He must have played college
football or something.

He puts down his bag...

he picks up a snowball...

and he just goes for it.

He's drilling us.

We're getting absolutely annihilated

by this giant postman,

and it was the best.

Yeah, Gene, thank you for your service.

Uh, I didn't fight in the w*r.

That's not what I mean.

I'm in high school, and I'm gay.

And I'm out, and you
absolutely fought for me.

So, thank you.

Oh, hey.

How's Tyrell doing?

He's good. Yeah.

He had an interesting idea, actually.

I was telling him how Val and I are

on separate trucks during the day now,

and that sometimes I get lonely.

Uh, and he thought maybe you would like

to take his place on the food truck.

Me?

Yeah, I know you're still
playing with your band

and I don't want to
take you away from that,

a schedule that works for you.

'Cause I-I could use the extra
help, if you're interested.

I'm interested.

Okay. [CHUCKLES]

Nope. It was mine. [LAUGHS]

The kid can't even buy
his own shower shoes.

- Yeah.

deodorant is mandatory on the truck.

It is a very small space.

Don't say I never gave you anything.

How you doing, Pop?

I'll be okay.

I wonder if that UPS woman is single.

And why not?

She's always bringing you
gifts, right? [CHUCKLES]

I'm gonna ask her what her name is.

Start slow.

I like it.

Speaking of names...

Earlier today, I was telling you

what Maggie wants to name
the baby if it's a girl.

You remember what it was?

Are you testing me?

No, I just... just... just
want to see if you remember.

I'm not taking your stupid test.

- Dad...
- I'm not taking your stupid test!

- Dad...
- I'm not doing it!

[SCOFFS]

[CHUCKLING] You know what?

I went to church every Sunday for you

until I was .

I went to college, never did no dr*gs.

Hell, I even paid for the flowers

you gave [LAUGHING] to Florence today.

You're telling me you can't
do one little test for me?

[PATS THIGH]

Come on, Pop. Take a deep breath.

Get some oxygen to the brain
and see if you can remember.

Please, just try.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

I remember it's the same name

as a famous movie star from the ' s.

Yes, that's right!

What was the actress' last name again?

I don't remember.

Then what the hell are
you giving me crap for?

[CHUCKLES] I love you, Pop.

[LAUGHING] You annoy the hell
out of me, but I love you.

I was just going to
tell you the same thing.

[LAUGHING] Okay. Okay.

[CUPS CLINK]

Wow!

Ah!

Ah!

You almost inherited

a sewing machine and a flat iron.

Well, you say the word, and I will move

all of your stuff into my place.

I know.

You can't.

[DOWN-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]

[MOUSE CLICKING]

Gary...

I am really happy

how your body is responding

to the Tagrisso treatment.

Things couldn't be better.

- Oh, God!
- [LAUGHS]

- Oh, my gosh.
- This is great.

Sorry, uh, about bringing
an entourage, Doc.

It's just our... Our friend group are...

Well, they're very invested
in each other's lives.

S-So, does this mean that Gary's cured?

No, Ed, it doesn't.

When a cancer like this comes back,

it is not curable.

But it is treatable.

And as I said, I'm very hopeful

with the things I've seen today.

But Gary's right,

he's going to have cancer
for the rest of his life.

And we are going to do everything we can

to make sure the rest of that life

- is as long as possible.
- Mm-hmm.

Okay, enough of the long faces.

Look at this.

These are photos of all the kids

my patients have had
since being diagnosed.

Now, there's no reason to believe

that a photo of you with
your child won't be up there.

And with a bit of luck,

a photo of you and your kid's kid.

I love that plan, Doc.

I do.

I promised Katherine this
wouldn't be an all-day thing,

but I have one more request.

Uh, for future reference,
when I'm coming in...

[CLEARS THROAT]

Uh, for results and
you know that they're good,

maybe you could have your nurse, uh,

slip some of that to me on the phone

when I'm making the appointment

because I've been crapping
my pants all morning.

And... and... And we're gonna have

plenty of that soon enough,
when this guy comes along.

Wait, did he say... He said guy?

ROME: He... Did... A-Are
we... Are we having a boy?

No, not... I didn't mean
"guy." I meant like, "Guys!"

No, no. Are we having...

- No, it's a...
- Are we having a baby boy?

- We're all gonna...
- We are having a boy.

- We're having a boy!
- Ohh!

- Hello!
- Yes!

We can still name him Tallulah,

- if you... if you want.
- No. No.

- We can't do the Tallulah.
- Keep in mind

that Mavericks don't get picked on.

- Not the Tallulah.
- Yay!

- Not the Tallulah.
- [LAUGHS]

Boy. Oh!

That it is. That is strong.

"Maverick Mendez" has
alliteration, though.

That is hot. That is hot.

- Man, I love you.
- Oh, buddy.
