Hey.

G'morning...

Steve Jobs?

What...
oh, hey, I'm trying to look smart, okay?

Just never mind that. I, um...

I have... I have something serious
to tell you, so could you...

you know, wake up?

[EXHALES] Okay.

That sounds bad.

[SIGHS]

Ram kissed me.

Who?

Oh, uh, my client.

Uh, Fronterra?

Wow, don't love that.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, because you guys are going
to this pharma conference today.

Which... it's gonna be fine.

I mean, the work we're doing is so cool.

It's important, you know?
But... [EXHALES]

I dunno, it would be a shame
to quit just because he,

you know, had this momentary confusion,
you know?

Right.

And are we okay?

Yeah. Yeah, we're okay.

- Yeah?
- Thank you for telling me.

I just... I need a cup of coffee

- to go with this punch in the gut.
- Oh no, not your gut.

It's my favourite!

- Well, your d*ck's my favourite.
- Oh, thanks.

I mean,
it's a long list. Where do I start?

NATHAN: Yeah, I mean, Jesus. Oof...

I need to work through this.

Okay. Okay.

You... you have nothing to worry about,
so rest assured.

LIONEL: So, I was thinking,
since you don't seem

particularly invested in
the eight-legged nightmare

that you brought into our life...

How do you feel about...

re-homing her?

What are we talking about?

Tula!

The... the giant spider.

Oh, yeah.

LIONEL: Anyways,
I was talking to Bethany from Rover,

and she seems oddly enthusiastic
about the idea of adopting her.

She's coming over later tonight,
so say your final goodbyes.

Truthfully, I don't even know
why I bought that spider.

LIONEL: Oh, okay. Thank you for
putting me through my own personal

- hell on a whim.
- I'm sorry, it was medical!

- She's coming.
- Oh, okay.

So we're just gonna have a
calm conversation, you know?

We're gonna ask some questions.
We're gonna be cool.

ALICE: I need you to sign this.

It's a permission form for Australia.

LIONEL: Okay,
let's just slow down for a second.

We have some questions about...

This is obviously Seamus' idea!

Why are you letting yourself
be influenced by a dumb boy?

No, it's... it's my idea!

ANNE: To be a farmer?

You get winded loading the dishwasher!

Well, I want to go on an adventure!

You're not going to Australia!

Like, ever!

It is off the table. No, you know what?

It is off the globe!

I'm taking the bus.

LIONEL: Honey...

Well, that went pretty much...

as I expected.

ANNE: Ugh.

I didn't get my first
haircut until I was nine

because I was so afraid of scissors.

I begged my parents to get a divorce

simply so I could have two birthdays.

And, when I was ten,

I put an eraser up my bum on a dare

and I don't remember it ever coming out.

Well, uh...
so these are your big secrets?

And when I was , I got engaged.

We were too young, it didn't last,

and thank God because...

now I'm here with you.

True.

Sorry I didn't tell you sooner,
but that's it.

Those are all the skeletons
in my closet, I promise.

Okay.

Thank you.

So, can I start moving
the rest of my stuff in?

Because it'd be really cool
to feel like I live somewhere.

Yeah, let's do it.

Okay. Your turn.

I want to know everything about you.

Okay.

- I was valedictorian of my class...
- No.

No, no, no.

No, I want, like,
juicy childhood Sloane stuff.

[CHUCKLES]

My childhood was uneventful.

What about your mother?

Honestly,
I-I hate when people talk about

their childhood sob stories

as if it defines them as an adult.

Grow up.

Go to work, come back,
cook your dinner, shut up.

[CHUCKLES] Fair enough.

I guess.

So, where do you keep your cactuses?

I don't have any cacti.

How about, uh...
how about over here, huh?

Yeah, knock yourself out!

PAUL: Okay,
but you've gotta be really cautious

around these things because the second

you stop paying attention...

- [LOUD CRASH]
- Ooh, sh*t!

SLOANE: sh*t... Aah, sh*t!

PAUL: Sorry, here, I'll...
I'll clean it up!

- sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t,

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- Don't worry,

I'll replace it. Or... was it expensive?

Ah, it's not that! It's not about

getting another bottle, it's... it's...

Mm, Ram made some good points, did he?

Hello.

MAGGIE: When you called a notes meeting,

I didn't expect to be going over my bio.

I think it's great.

Well...

Okay...

What are you... what are you thinking?

SLOANE: It's just,
"her passion for writing began

"when she won her
first essay competition

"in the third grade,
thanks to the loving encouragement

"of her teacher, Mrs. Pelletier"?

It's just a little personal detail.

I understand that, but...

nobody cares about your childhood.

JONATHAN: Whoa.

I thought it was sweet.

MAGGIE: Thank you!

No, I-I just don't think
that it matters.

You have all of these amazing
accomplishments as an adult.

Why attribute that to
some childhood trauma?

Well, who said anything about trauma?

Sorry... memory!

Childhood memory.

JONATHAN: Look, these personal details

allow readers to connect,
so I say we run with it.

If that's okay with you, Sloane?

Yeah, of course, yeah.

JONATHAN: Great!
Thank you, Mrs. Pelletier.

MAGGIE: [LAUGHS] She lives another day.

Based on extensive clinical trials,

we've found that the patient's
migraine disappears completely

within a maximum of minutes
after ingesting the drug.

That's not the only thing
that disappears completely.

RAM: Which is why we say, with Horamo,

"It's all gone."

[SCOFFS] Come on!

What?

I'm sorry, is, uh, someone speaking?

ANNE: Yeah! Yeah, over here.

I'm just wondering,
are there any notable

side effects with Horamo?

- Foster, isn't that your friend?
- No.

RAM: Uh, everything is noted
in the research, of course.

- Looks like your friend.
- Just shut up.

So, when you say, "It's all gone"...

that's a catchy slogan, by the way...

are you referring to
when you take the drug,

you essentially black out?

Oh, no, "It's all gone" is referring to

the crippling pain of a migraine.

ANNE: Oh, oh. Are you sure?

Because "It's all gone"
sounds more to me like

"It's all gone, the last hours,

"three days, seven years." Who knows?

RAM: Okay.

Okay...

KATE: [IN A WHISPER] f*ck.

- You need to fix this.
- Okay, yeah.

Okay, Goddammit.

Hi! Hello.

Good afternoon.

Uh, I'm Kate Foster,
public relations for Fronterra.

The... the very best of the best.

Oh, well. [CHUCKLES]

I just want to clarify that
no one from the clinical trial

with an active migraine

experienced any actual memory loss.

- Isn't that right?
- That's exactly right.

As we know, any medication,
taken incorrectly,

can have negative effects.

But when taken as prescribed,
that's a different story.

KATE: Let's just try something here.

By number of hands,

how many migraine sufferers
do we have here today?

That seems impossible, doesn't it, Kate?

Well, Ram, not necessarily.

I'm seeing a lot of men here,

so maybe it is possible,
given that migraines

are actually three times more
prevalent in women than men.

And, as we know,
women's pain historically

has been dismissed,
even when it's debilitating.

KATE:
What Fronterra has accomplished here,

it's gonna change many lives.

Mine included.

I'm proud to be
associated with this drug,

and you should be proud to
prescribe it to your patients

who've been waiting too long
for a drug that actually works.

Please direct any further
questions to Mr. Javeri here.

Thank you so much.
