01x02 - Bean There Done That

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on Best Medicine

Famous heart surgeon

from Boston.

I'm curious about

your interpersonal skills.

I take people who are sick

and I make them well.

I have never, never!

You're a real charmer,

aren't you?

This town and all the people

in it are very dear to me.

- I'm keeping my eye on you.

- Get out of here. Go.

And, Sarah

What's it like me back now

after all these years?

I find the people here

irrational.

I'm about to be a YouTube star.

Far too chatty.

Louisa dumped me two weeks

before our wedding

and demanding

Does blood freak you out?

- Mm-hm.

- But you're a doctor!

This place won't let you hide,

and that's a good thing.

Out!

Elaine, I'll see

my first patient.

Elaine, are you there?

Who will hold the spoon

on their nose the longest.

Guess in

the comment section to win

a free coffee at

the Salty Breeze.

Elaine, what are you doing?

Shh. Hosting a game show,

we're live.

Excuse me?

People text me

their game suggestions,

I use whoever's here.

Elaine, that's highly

inappropriate.

You know what it's called?

"Try my patience."

How about

"Try doing your job?"

- That's not as fun.

- Spoons off.

Now.

Okay if I cut the line?

Gotta get to work.

Just need a minute.

Fine.

So what seems to be the problem?

Nothing.

Fit as a fiddle.

That was quick. Goodbye.

Huh. Well, hold on.

I do need your help.

I need a prescription

for some vitamin V.

You know, some "hard candy."

Ah. Sildenafil.

- Viagra.

- Bingo.

- Hm.

- Not that I need it.

You know, just thought I'd have

some on hand, just in case.

Since Louisa and I

are now kaput,

I plan on being very active.

A bad boy.

Ladies, take a number.

I'll have to get

the penicillin ready.

Are you aware of

the possible side effects?

Like having fun, loving life,

and feeling foxy?

No.

Headaches, nausea and priapism?

A painful

and prolonged erection.

Cool.

It's just in case there's,

you know, a little stage fright,

Louise is the only one

I've been with

for eight years, but

Let me tell you,

there were no problems there.

Right. Got it.

Healthy sex life.

Any history of

heart disease, stroke,

low blood pressure

or eye disease?

Nope.

I mean, more than healthy.

- Like, our sex life was like

- Stop talking.

Elaine, next.

Women say that they want

that nice guy, but they don't.

They dump the nice guy.

The nice guy ends up

taking his mom

to Cancun for his honeymoon.

That is not going

to be me ever again.

There's a new sheriff in town.

Good. I wasn't that crazy

about the old one.

Yeah!

- That's a good one, doc.

- Elaine.

Uh, it's

the Browntail Moth rash.

Happens every year.

I just need a prescription

for hydrocortisone cream.

You're awfully young to have

graduated medical school.

I know everything about it.

It's from the hairs of

the moth. They're toxic.

They embed in the skin

causing dermatitis.

This is the season.

He's-he's right.

Half the town gets it.

- He just needs the cream.

- Well, this is fun.

Would you like to help with

an open heart surgery later?

I just need to get to work.

I If I could get

the prescription,

we'll be on our way.

Does an uncontrollable cough

come with

the Browntail Moth allergies?

It's probably just

a coincidence.

Hm. How scientific.

Well, I prefer to actually

examine him.

Okay.

I need you to just take

a deep breath.

I'm gonna need a skin sample.

Now expedite an answer

from the lab,

but in the meantime,

keep Peter out of school.

Looks like this might

be contagious.

- What?

- Out of school?

For the Browntail Moth?

- I have a job!

- So do I.

And in my professional

medical opinion,

it's presenting differently than

just a common insect reaction.

Half the town is about to

come down with this

and you're gonna send them

all home?

Are you nuts?

Let's go.

What a waste of time.

This is insane, doc.

Prepare to be enemy number one.

Wow.

You're on a roll!

All right then.

Who's next?

Just doing my job is so boring.

Harriet.

I cut myself on

a broken pipe, stupid thing.

Well, come in then.

Hey, do you need any help, doc?

None at all.

Okay, let's take

a look at the wound

and see what you have.

Oh, uh

Please, can I help?

If you insist.

Clean up on aisle nine.

Dr. Reese let me

help out all the time.

- Right, Bert?

- Yep.

Like a regular

Florence Nightingale.

Is there anything you can't do?

Not a singles bar. Out.

Okay, wound is

all cleaned up, doc.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Mm.

Okay, looks like three

butterflies will do it.

Just, uh, keep the wound

clean and dry.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, do you want to go to

the Baked Bean Supper with me?

No. Are you insane?

That's so public.

Might as well announce

we're engaged.

- Never mind.

- Leave.

No, not that

I just, I-I don't have time

for that kind of stuff

right now.

I'm concentrating on my career

and getting out of Port Wenn.

You-you want to leave Port Wenn?

Of course.

There's nothing for me here.

- Done!

- I'll wrap him up!

Like, like leave

Port Wenn for good?

Do I need to call the police?

All finished.

- Here we go.

- All right. Thanks, doc.

- Thanks, Elaine.

- Yeah.

I was very helpful.

One can say, almost invaluable.

- Out.

- Yes.

- Get out.

- Yes. Yep.

Another dinner alone,

Dr. Worst?

That's the saddest thing ever.

That's me in 60 years,

just k*ll me.

Dr. Best?

- Hello.

- Hello.

Uh, I'm just getting some dinner

to go. If you wanna

- Me too. Yeah.

- Oh.

- So how was your day?

- Unpleasant.

Seems the inmates

want to run the asylum.

Well I heard

about Peter Cronk.

Okay. You may not know this,

but the Browntail Moth

is a very common

Louisa, Martin, your dinners

are coming up.

Doc, glad you're here.

We haven't gotten your RSVP.

- For?

- The Baked Bean Supper!

Right. Because I'm not going.

I think you're adorable.

- Oh, wait, wait, wait.

- Oh, are you serious

You're serious, no, no, no.

You don't understand.

Everyone goes

to the Baked Bean Supper

unless you're dead or in

the hospital and even that.

Lorraine with the oxygen tank.

- Maybe. Hey.

- Mm-mm.

It's the time

when feuds are dropped

and phones are put away

and we all feel less alone.

It's such

a-a wonderful opportunity

to really connect with people.

I mean, even after

all of these years,

I I still find that

I find out something

new about someone.

Well, as this town's doctor,

I feel all I do is learn

something new about someone.

Well, I don't mean

to like, it's not really

Uh, George, why are you

standing like that?

I'm sorry, sweetheart, just

don't look out at the patio.

Hey. What?

George, what are you

Oh.

Jeannie.

She's my, uh,

she's my teaching assistant.

Uh, I'm-I'm-I'm gonna

Hi. We'll be quick.

Just need some cortisone cream.

It's the, uh,

Browntail Moth rash.

- Really?

- So

You know, I think

I'm just gonna take a nap.

Put my stethoscope,

my prescription pad,

and a bowl of Percocet

by the door,

and everyone can just

help themselves.

I didn't mean anything by it.

- It-it just happens.

- Every year.

No. I'm-I'm well aware.

May I dare ask, does Mallory

have any other symptoms?

Well, actually

- Um, I have squirts. Yeah.

- Yes.

So, it's all just coming out.

Like

Me too, actually,

just like that.

Just like

I assume we're talking about

a case of diarrhea?

Yeah.

And then kind of like

Oh.

Do you go to school with a boy

named Peter Cronk by any chance?

He's in my class,

he's really smart.

And was he in school

yesterday afternoon?

We played tag.

Elaine, push back my

appointments for the next hour.

Excuse me.

And please keep Mallory

out of school.

Whoa. Good job.

Yeah. Okay.

- Hi.

- Oh. Hello.

Let's hope it's not weird.

- Mark and I.

- Yeah. Hmm.

Just so you know, I tried Hinge.

Only eligible man

was a 75-minute drive.

And then a ferry.

Of course.

I wish you both the best.

- That's such a relief.

- No

Oh, my God.

Lindsay, Georgia,

he is not a wishbone.

- Hello.

- Oh.

Hello.

Uh, how was your dinner

last night?

I left before Obviously.

Steamed fish.

Very nice.

Good.

Peter Cronk, is he here?

Yes, um, he's inside right now.

And are you aware

I told his mother

- he shouldn't be in school?

- Yes, I am.

But it's not that big of a deal.

It's only the Browntail Moth.

How do you suppose

I can be the town doctor

if no one will do what I say?

Well, it's just

the Browntail Moth.

Does the Browntail Moth

give you diarrhea?

Or a hacking cough? This could

be something very contagious.

And Mrs. Cronk put

a lot of people

Now listen,

there are some people here

with certain

financial hardships.

Okay, part of you

being a doctor here

is knowing your patients.

No, no, my only responsibility

is keeping everyone safe.

Now you tell Mrs. Cronk,

the other teachers

and your principal that

that boy cannot be in school.

Yeah, I'm sure as

a big city doctor,

you're used to having

the last word.

Not sure it works

that way around here.

Oh, I don't need the last.

You kids keep digging!

You gotta stay on schedule.

Eeyore!

Eeyore!

Hey, Eeyore?

Hey, it's me.

Glendon, remember?

When we were kids on the beach?

Nope.

Aw, come on, you're always

moping around like a sad sack.

I had to lighten things up with

a little ribbing, remember?

Actually, I have no idea

what you're talking about.

Hey, I heard you were coming up.

What's the deal?

Big city surgeon

now bandaging knees.

It's actually

none of your business.

Well, I've done very well

for myself.

This is my house.

I did an extension,

putting in an in-ground pool.

Everyone's just loving

coming by.

Kids especially.

Home improvements, never

understood all the hysteria.

Well, you heard about

the Baked Bean Supper?

Impossible not to.

Yeah, it's nothing,

but I'm the sponsor.

Your mother must be so proud.

Hah! Still a sour puss,

just like the old days.

Hey, come by the house

any time you want to, Eeyore.

Well, I'll give you a tour.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Oh!

Whoa! Hey, okay.

Hey, doc,

fancy meetin' you here.

Uh-huh. Okay, okay, let's put

down the hedge trimmer now.

You feeling all right?

Whew!

- I'm fine, doc.

- You sure?

Yeah, no need to make

a fuss about.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa!

Ah. I don't know

what's going on.

I've just been feelin'

little dizzy this week.

That happened

because you got dizzy?

Why didn't you tell me?

Well, with Al standing

right there?

No, t-that's not the way

it's supposed to work.

I'm the dad. I'm supposed

to worry about him.

Well, you seem to have some

form of vestibular neuritis.

Should fix itself with

a simple medication.

I'll call in the prescription

of Sally's,

just fill it

as soon as possible.

And do not work until

it's cleared up, okay?

Do not work? Doc, what are you,

crazy? I-I got bills to pay.

- Fine. You're right.

- I am?

- Really?

- Sure.

Dizzy spells and power tools

go great together.

Take the pills and do not work.

Do you hear me?

Fine.

You two, okay,

you got it, you got it.

Okay, you two, go,

try, try, try.

I won! I won!

We have a winner!

Elaine?

What's this?

Today's game is Chubby Buddy.

And how many of you are here for

the so-called

Browntail Moth allergy?

Something is not right.

You'd better fix me up quick.

I can't go to

the Baked Bean Supper like this.

How in God's name can you be

thinking about Baked Beans now?

It's not like we could miss it.

Rain or shine,

there's always the supper.

There must have been at least

one year it was canceled.

Year? It's every month,

and never.

- Every month?

- Mm-hmm.

And it still makes you

all weepy.

Mm-hmm.

Life is uncertain.

Traditions give us the illusion

of a future that we can

look forward to.

Well, bad news,

not this month. Mnh-mnh.

No dinner is worth

a whole town getting sick.

The Baked Bean Supper

is canceled.

Hello.

My mom says you're

the A-word, the B-word,

the S-word, and

the F-word with the A-word.

Well, thank you so very much.

What am I supposed to do now?

Don't blame me, I just came

to invite you to dinner.

Martin, everybody's

very pissed off at you

for canceling the supper.

I'm just doing my job.

- It's only the Browntail Moth.

- Stop!

Just not another word. Do you

want to come to dinner or not?

No, thank you,

I'd rather eat alone.

Not you too.

If you must know, I look forward

to the supper too.

Because of the sacredness

of tradition

or the cozy warmth of community,

or do baked bean fairies

just come and fly and moonlight.

It's George's brown bread.

It's miraculous, and he only

makes it for the supper.

Which means, I'll have

to wait another month!

Hm.

Oh, you met him?

Well, he's definitely

the F-word with the A-word.

Yes, once a bully,

always a bully.

What do you mean by that?

Nothing, just some

childish name calling.

Don't give yourself a stroke.

You had it hard

enough back then.

Last thing you needed was

somebody else making it harder.

You say the word,

I'll kick him in the teeth.

Thank you.

Not in a strange way,

that's actually very touching.

Hm. Now get the hell out of

here, these are my regulars.

I gotta sell some lobsters.

Come on, I just came in,

and we got some beauties.

Oh, feisty.

- Where is everyone?

- Cancelled.

Cancelled, why?

Because of the Baked Bean

Supper. You're being boycotted.

People are sick and they

won't see me? That's insane.

You're telling me?

How am I supposed to do

a show called

"Try My Patients"

with no patients?

- You're k*lling my likes.

- No, I'm right about this.

It's not the Browntail Moth.

Call the lab, tell them I need

the results from

the samples now.

I know the skin sample

results will prove

that it's not the

Browntail Moth allergy.

Freshly-sharpened

pencil for you.

Dylan, will you help Xavier?

All right, stay with your buddy.

- Oh. Oh

- No.

Oh, um, Isabel,

Elizabetta, you've got this.

I'll be right back.

Everything okay?

Everything okay?

- Mm-hm.

- Oh, no.

Wh-what happened?

Nothing, it's just, it's Mark.

- No.

- We had se play date.

Right.

- Two nights ago.

- Mm-hm.

And then he never called me.

Then I called him,

and he told me that it was

just a play date.

- Nothing more.

- Okay.

And that he wants to be free

to have s

play dates.

- Mm-hm.

- With whomever he wants.

I thought he was

one of the nice ones.

What did you do to him?

Oh.

It's fine.

It's fine.

Um, just a

Miss-Miss Jeannie's gonna take

a bathroom break.

Yeah. Okay.

Hi, everyone. I know

that you're boycotting

and I kind of get it, but

remember to like my videos.

Got to still keep

those numbers up.

Wow.

Very brave coming here.

Hope nobody saw you.

I don't care what people think.

I just wanted to tell you

that if you

ever need help with

your career, just ask me.

I don't mean anything romantic.

I just mean, like, cameraman

or, uh, help carrying things,

anything.

Really?

Because I-I meant it.

I can't have anyone

tying me down.

I get it. I promise.

I just, I wanna help you

make your dreams come true.

- What's more?

- Elaine?

Has the lab called back yet?

Well, they better, you know,

just cancel the Baked

Bean Supper on a hunch.

I'm leaving. Bye.

Hello, you little muppet.

Elaine, if you like him

so much, take him home.

Otherwise, get him out of here.

Well, there you go again,

you little wriggle mutt.

How long has he been doing this?

What?

The back scratching?

- Mm-hmm.

- I don't know. Like a week.

What are you doing?

Don't you think you should

buy him dinner first?

He's got rashes all over,

that's why he's been so itchy.

It presents similarly to

the ones I've been seeing.

You mean he caught

the disease too?

Not possible.

No, he might be the cause of it.

What are you gonna do to him?

Hey, doc.

Well, what do we have here?

Possibly a highly

contagious dog.

I've contacted Animal Control.

They advised me

to bring him here

until they can pick him up.

Please stay as far away

from him as you can.

- And don't touch him.

- What?

What am I supposed to do

with a highly

I need you to sign

this form to confirm

that he is no longer my problem.

What do you want?

To schedule another wedding

you can walk out on?

I, I thought we could

have a talk.

Just please sign,

so I can leave.

I would like you to leave.

- I'm trying to.

- No. Her.

Mark, Mark, look,

I'm sorry that I hurt you.

But-but this whole

"playboy" thing?

Look, it's not nice.

It's not you.

Well, I'm not nice anymore.

You get it,

you cured me of that.

And if you can't handle

your jealousy,

then that's not my problem.

Why can't anyone in this town

have a private conversation?

- In private.

- Fine, just fine.

Oh, the lab results.

- Confirmed. Zoonotic.

- Zoonotic.

Not a clue, doc.

The disease is spread

animal to human,

or in this case, dog to human.

Wait, but if humans

aren't spreading the rash,

then what about

the Baked Bean Supper?

Let the angels sing

and the trumpets blow.

You can have your

Baked Bean Supper after all.

Well, I mean, that's good news.

Actually, come to think of it

I prefer if you didn't go.

What?

That's unheard of.

There's always a first time.

- Mark.

- I rubbed your feet

every single night

for eight years.

And now you just expect me

to eat beans with you.

Mark, Mark,

you're my best friend.

Are you saying that we're never

gonna be able to be friends?

Never.

Come on.

Son of a

Here, doll.

Don't drink with it.

Hm. Hello.

Do you have gentamicin in stock?

Well, Dr. Best,

I'm so glad you stopped by.

Sally Mylow, pharmacist.

The other medical

professional in town.

Mm-hmm.

I've been wondering

when our new town doctor

was going to pay me a visit.

Dr. Reese found

my input invaluable.

You're right, actually.

I apologize.

I've been busy

with the so-called

Browntail Moth epidemic.

It's Tularemia.

And I'll be prescribing

gentamicin for it

How clever for knowing it

wasn't the Browntail Moth Rash.

Thank you,

but I'm not Jonas Salk.

I diagnosed some cases

of diarrhea.

Anyway, gentamicin, you're

gonna need a lot of it.

- Understood?

- My Marky was right.

You are all business.

- Sheriff Mark?

- Hmm.

My baby boy.

Do you see the resemblance?

Yes, neither of you seem to

enjoy a linear conversation.

- You're funny.

- Mm.

Please just make sure you have

enough medication in stock.

Oh, and while I'm here,

did Bert Large

fill his prescription

for Prednisone?

No, but I saw him doing

some yard work

just a few doors down.

Dammit, he's working

just like I asked him not to.

You're so passionate

about your patients.

I love that about you.

Oh, sorry.

I can be a bit much sometimes.

Good to know.

Just Your neck brace.

Is there anything I should know?

- What, this?

- Mm-hmm?

Uh, well, it's a story.

Maybe over a glass

of Chardonnay?

Too much, Miss Mylow.

- Thank you for the feedback.

- Mm-hmm.

Bert! Bert!

- Oh.

- You okay?

Oh, hey, doc.

Wait a minute.

- Did you just

- Yes, I did.

Thanks a lot.

Why don't anyone in this town

listen to me?

Here, come on.

Hop on out.

It's a one pill

two times a day for five days.

Thank you.

I, uh, I guess we all

owe you an apology.

It wasn't

the Browntail Moth after all.

Yes.

Everyone can put away

their tar and feathers

and go have their

beans and bread.

Yeah, well, I don't think

I'll be going anyway, so

- Oh.

- Mark asked me not to go.

I haven't missed one

in over ten years.

I mean, it feels strange,

like cutting off a limb.

I don't have a clue

what you're talking about.

But if it's that

important to you,

to hell with Mark,

you do what you like.

Well, I'll go if you go.

Oh, uh, I get the impression

it's a very public event.

Oh, no, no.

- They know each other well.

- I didn't mean it like that.

It was, uh, it was just a joke.

I'm like, I, like

Why-why don't we go with you?

I misunderstood.

You said you didn't want to go.

- Now it's "Go, go."

- Never mind. Just forget it.

Already forgotten.

Uh, remember,

two pills a day for

- five days and, uh

- Mm-hmm. Okay.

- But one last thing.

- Yep, okay.

Um, when did you come

in contact with the dog?

Uh, what dog?

The one from the police station,

but before then.

I hadn't.

- Are you sure?

- Positive.

Where have you been

the past few days?

School. Home.

The Salty Breeze?

You wouldn't be spreading

a horrible virus,

- would you, honey?

- It's a myth, you know,

that pigs are dirty.

I could eat off of her.

Please don't.

I don't see anything.

It's not her.

Now, is there anywhere else

a large percentage

of this town has been to

where there might be animals?

Uh, the biggest thing

going on in this town

right now is

the Baked Bean Supper.

And Glendon's renovation.

Hm.

Hello, this is Sherrif Mark

from Port Wenn.

I have a sick dog.

How much would it be

for a vet to look at him?

$400?

Even for an officer of the law?

Buddy.

You have a ride with

Yeah. It's awesome.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, I-I love it.

No, it's perfectly safe.

Excuse me just a minute.

I'll be right back.

What the hell are

you doing here?

Exactly, how many people

have been

on your property

in the last two weeks?

What are you doing here?

What

This is a bag of mice?

Answer my question.

Half the town.

Everyone loves coming over here.

- Louisa, Peter Cronk?

- Yeah.

Why?

What are you saying?

You're a lunatic, Eeyore!

A trespassing

psychopathic lunatic!

Sorry, I think I got it.

From the dog who got it

from playing

near the dead dirty mice, right?

- That's nasty.

- Waiting to hear a confirmation.

They still haven't

picked him up?

Not yet.

Guess I'll need some medicine,

doc, 'cause, 'cause

Let me take a look.

Exactly how stupid

do you think I am?

Hmm?

Wait, a peel-off rash?

Really?

He's not eating,

and I couldn't afford

to take him to the vet.

You know, it's like

the same medicine

for dogs and humans, right?

Yes, but it's against the law

to acquire medicine

under false pretenses, officer.

Okay, you know, I know that

we don't know

each other very well.

But no matter how much

you act like you don't care,

I don't believe that you would

let an innocent dog die, doc.

Okay. Stop with

the fake coughing.

I have never done

this before in my life.

This will never

happen again, deal?

Give him only half.

Thank you, doc.

Hey, when he's all fixed up,

I'll bring him right back here.

- Okay.

- What? No, absolutely not.

No, no, it's the last thing

you should do, Mark.

Buddy, take your meds.

Yeah, they're you go.

Oh, yeah!

I know

Hey! Hey!

No! Hey! Hey!

Hey! No!

Man, my one prisoner

I let escape.

- Hello?

- What are you doing here?

I thought you had

to go to your

Exactly,

and you're going with me.

Absolutely not.

I just put a salmon in the oven.

Then take it out.

Martin, are you or are you not

a resident of Port Wenn?

Unfortunately.

Then start acting like one,

especially after almost

canceling the supper.

No, I have been looking forward

to a quiet night at home.

Like all the other quiet

nights at home, Martin?

When you act like

you don't like people,

they start thinking

you don't like them.

You're going to

the Baked Bean Supper.

I'm starting not to like you.

How long does this thing last?

Can I get it to go?

Oh, stop it.

The worst thing

it could happen to you tonight

is maybe a little heartburn.

I understand that it was Glendon

who's been the source

of our irritation.

No surprise.

Yes, the mice

came back positive.

I think you're gonna have

a lovely time tonight.

George's brown bread

is worth a triple

Martin?

What?

Louisa!

Louisa!

- What are you

- If I have to go to this

ridiculous thing,

then so do you.

Really?

Okay.

Five minutes and we're leaving.

Okay.

What?

I can wait.

Yeah.

Hey, doc.

Uh, sorry again

for popping you in the nose.

Doc.

- Mm. Cute suit.

- Yass, doc.

Hey.

So you decided to come.

Yes, uh, just didn't feel

right not too.

Cool.

Okay.

Oh, look, I think

I found some chairs.

Okay. Okay.

Ah. I told you we shouldn't

have gotten here so late!

- Oh, hey.

- Hey.

Ooh. Free table.

You, uh, wanna join?

So, what do you think?

Calm down, I haven't even

started eating.

Not-not the beans.

All of it.

You get it?

No.

Eeyore!

Ah, you got nerve

showing up here.

Did you know? The city

shut down my construction.

It's going to set me back weeks.

Now everyone thinks my house

got people sick.

And your house

did get people sick!

How? Look around.

None of this would be happening

if it wasn't for me.

Please. You donated a bag

of beans, not a hospital wing.

Oops.

The truth is, I do remember you.

- I knew it.

- You were a pathetic,

insecure bully

who's turned into a more

obnoxious sack of gas.

- Marty.

- I know. I know.

I can't.

It's the Baked Bean Supper.

All I was gonna say is that

it's just about time

that somebody said something.

What?

All right, forget it.

The Baked Bean Supper

is canceled.

Everyone out.

You can't throw us out.

Who the hell do

you think you are?

Santa Claus,

canceling Christmas?

Fine.

But this is the last supper

I ever pay for.

What do y'all think about that?

Good.

We'll all pitch in

and pay for it ourselves.

Worth every penny

to not hear you

go on about it every month.

Susan! Gilbert!

I-I couldn't agree more.

You better watch

your back, Eeyore.

I knew this was a bad idea.

- I knew it.

- What? Martin.

You really should know

what all the fuss is about.

So, what do you think?

Absolutely delicious.

Why is it so satisfying

when people like what we like?

Uh, never noticed that.

So, um, what happened

all those years ago?

Oh, uh

Oh, uh

No, you don't, uh,

have to tell me.

- I shouldn't I

- I I'd rather not.

Oh, oh

Okay.

Yeah.

I had a sister.

She died in a car accident

when I was six.

She was eight.

I was also in the car

at the time.

I was sent to Port Wenn

for the summers after that,

my parents

I-I just wanted to be

left alone.

But there was Glendon constantly

mocking me for

being sad, I guess.

- I'm so sorry.

- Hmm.

A few months ago, a little girl

came in for heart surgery.

It's a car accident.

Same age as my sister.

I froze.

Another doctor had to

take over for me.

So, what happened?

I ended up developing, uh

a desire to lead a quieter life.

Well

Seems we had

a Baked Bean Supper after all.

- Mm.

- Mm.

Hmm.

Would you like some more water?

Sure. Yeah.

Get No! No!

Get Get out! Get out!
