All right, you got three options here. You could play the green card, you could

play the five, or draw.

Oh, oh, oh, wild draw four.

Somebody's in trouble.

It can be kind of scary in the ER when you're a kid, but we have some games on

hand to keep things light.

Draw four?

I won't, and here's why.

See, you weren't allowed to put that down, Madison, because you have another

green card you can play.

Okay, I'll play this one.

I wish, but no. You misplayed, so technically you draw four and lose a

Well, we don't have to play that way. Yeah, well, Mattel says we do.

You know what? Madison needs to rest, so why don't we just say that she won this

one, and we'll just wrap it up, okay? Why? No way. I have Uno.

You are the adult, Bruce.

I know.

Well, you did it. Congratulations, Madison.

Yeah. Nice job.

No, well done.

Hey, Joyce, are we ever going to hire a new pharmacy tech to replace Jared?

Yeah, I don't think he's coming back. Apparently, the indictment is rock

New pharmacy tech. One, two, three.

Post a listing.

Joyce, where do you want to source the new antigen test? Because I've got like

13 that are... One, two, three.

Dunhill Labs, baby.

Anyone else?

Huh? Bring it.

After the birthing center failed inspection, I was questioning

I couldn't make decisions. I wasn't listening to my Joyce voice. And then I

one of those mornings where I was just like, I can't do it. I can't face any of

it. Well, sometimes doom scrolling works because I found this.

It's about making decisions in three seconds. In the back of your mind, you

already know what you're going to do, so why agonize over it?

Hey, Joyce, are you feeling okay?

I'm better than okay. I am cruising.

This book I just read, oh, so much of our hemming and hawing is just delaying

what we want to do anyway. So I said no to the haw, and I'm just doing it.

Well, kind of like that new Alaris pump that you've been dragging your heels on.

Want to pull the trigger on that? One, two, three, yes.

Wait, I'm serious?

Um, okay.

Hey, how about a reserved parking spot for your favorite charge nurse?

One, two, three.

You got it.

Really? Yeah.

That's amazing.

Okay.

Oh, I should ask for a raise.

So this lady paints the bricks white.

I'm not kidding. Ruins the entire character of the fireplace.

Needless to say, we all start flaming her in the comments.

And how are you involved in all of this? I just hit my feed. God, I was so

pissed. 115.

Swallowed a marble from the Hungry Hungry Hippos game. Oh, is it still in

stomach? Still waiting on imaging, but he seems agitated.

Okay. Poor kid, he's probably totally freaked out. Yeah.

Knock, knock.

Doctor's coming in.

Oh! Oh, hello, old friends.

What is this?

Not a social visit, I'm afraid. Today I come to you as one of the infirm. I'm

sorry, am I supposed to know you?

Sanderson, Joyce's boyfriend?

Not clicking for me. Look, we're trying to find a kid who swallowed a marble.

And you found him. The marble eater is me. You want to reach out to my

contact? Dr.

Joyce Henderson, I believe you know her. Why don't you call her? I refuse to

answer any more questions until my emergency contact is... His prison.

Ooh,

reserve parking spot.

Okay, Deva.

Look at it.

Wow. Management has its privileges.

Must be nice.

Oh, it's no big deal. I mean, if anything, you know, my car is more

here. Like, in this neighborhood, goodbye hubcaps.

I live in this neighborhood.

It is a charming and vibrant community.

Whoa, you get to park up here now?

It's fun.

I thought this was just for, like, administrators and whoever compact is.

No, no, I'm happy for his success, but the guy's got, like, a thick spot.

It's not a big deal, Matt. Well, we're going to head in.

Congrats on the spot and that new wig.

As a charge nurse, I want good relationships with all of my nurses.

Renee is my biggest challenge.

Our pattern has always been one step forward, two steps back, and then

step back, and maybe a tiny step forward, but it turns out he was joking.

A few more steps back.

Uh, yeah.

It's exciting.

I just can't get my mind around this. You were playing a kid's board game

My only regret is that you're going to have to spend the afternoon by my side,

but such is the bargain the emergency contact strikes.

Oh, no, I can't stay.

What, JoJo? No, no, I have so much to do. I'm leaving you in very capable

What? Whose hands? Not my hands. You'll be fine, okay? Yeah, we will.

This life, it don't exist.

All her attention goes to this hospital, and there's none left for me at all.

This whole thing has been a waste of time and marble.

Are you saying you swallowed that marble on purpose just to get Joyce's

attention? Does it even matter?

I think it does. Yeah, it matters. She says she's busy, but I can feel her

pulling away.

Yeah, we're a loser.

Okay, this is hard to watch for a few reasons. Look, when a man wants a woman,

needs a woman, it's incumbent on the other men in his life to support him. So

what we need to do is help this hungry hippo gobble up the only marble that

matters to him.

Yes, the choice marble. That's right. I'm going to go get those x -rays now.

Sure.

Uh -oh.

Who's in trouble, huh? I would not want to be them right now.

Nothing. It's just nurse stuff.

Oh, well, you know, nurse present.

Renee,

you are bad.

I'm sorry, Matt, do you actually understand Tagalog?

It's brains like a sponge.

Just not for work, though.

So, seriously, though, what's going on?

We're trying to get more money for continuing education, but Joyce keeps

us off. Seriously, it doesn't concern you.

Joyce problem, huh? Well, you know, I just might have a solution for you, but

it's okay if you don't want to hear it.

Nope.

All right, well, uh... Let's just say if you and I go and see Joyce right now

and we talk to her together, I think you have a pretty good chance of getting

what you want. Why would you do that for us? Oh, because I'm one of you. One of

us. You know, we're the same.

Listen, the cool thing about me is that I am a nurse, but I also have the ear of

management. So, you know, what do you say? Should we go and get that yet?

Sure. Great.

Hey, Joyce. Do you have a second?

Yeah, I'm just trying to figure out how to delete an accidental ha -ha off a

LinkedIn obituary post.

Yeah, that sounds fun.

So, Rene and I were talking, and he reminded me that the hospital still

reimbursing nurses for their continuing ed courses.

We think that it's really time for an answer on this. Right, right. Well, you

know what? I'm just a little underwater right now, so if we could put a pin in

this, that would be great.

Oh, are you sure? You sure you don't want to just trust your gut and make a

decision now?

Of course.

Of course, you are absolutely right. So, one, two, three.

No, I can't do that. If I do it for one department, I've got to do it for all of

them, and that's not going to happen.

Wow, that felt amazing, right? It's off our plates.

So, Salamat for that.

That's nice.

They say we're valuable, but they don't act like it. When it's time to put their

money where their mouth is, they refuse to pay up.

Okay, I'm so sorry, but I'm not they.

You know, I'm you. Or I'm us.

We're a we. You okay?

You sound like my dad trying to get my cousin's pronouns right. I'm fine. I

just, I hate how they don't recognize how valuable we all are.

I mean, can you imagine St. Dennis without Sharice?

I've only worked here a year and a half. And we are not going back.

Okay, my point is, we have the power here.

Maybe it's time we remind everyone of that.

Maybe it's time for a walkout.

Okay. Sorry, what do you mean by walkout? Like, we just leave work?

Yeah, it's our right as union members.

That's true. Yeah, it's more of a sacred right, though. You know, behind glass,

locked away.

Yeah, but if we leave, there won't be anybody to work at the hospital.

They'll be so mad. Oh, yes, Matt. That's the whole point. It's how we show our

power. Is that something people would be interested in?

Just raise your hand if you'd be into a walkout.

Oh, wow. Wow.

Wow, look at that. All that nurse unity. I love it.

Probably, you know, a little bit of peer pressure involved.

You know, no one wants to be the odd man out, but that's fine.

Woo! I have your image.

Oh, you're already showing him his x -rays? No, Ron.

I'm showing him his future.

What in the fresh hell is that? That is Sanderson 2 .0.

If he wants to grab Joyce's attention, then the guy needs to become undeniable.

A Gosling, a Hemsworth, a Schweitz. Is that a little skateboard?

It's a fingerboard boomer. You ride him with your hands and you learn dope -ass

tricks. That's cool.

It's very cool.

He needs a hobby. Women see them as a competition for your time. It drives

nuts. So your plan is to have Sanderson here put on 200 pounds of muscle and

then push around a teeny tiny skateboard?

Fingerboard run?

Damn it, no. What I'm proposing is a complete transformation.

So step one, we shave him down. Need to work with a clean slate. Don't you

think, Ron? I think this is insane.

Okay, Ron wants to keep the hair.

Interesting, but he thinks it must go.

Look, if you want to get back on track with Joyce, quit focusing on yourself.

It's not all about you.

So you're saying I don't need to change and I'm perfect the way I am? Nope,

didn't say that. I'd never say that. If Joyce is stressed, instead of demanding

her attention, take her out on a date, show her a good time, and take the

off. On the date? No.

May I take it now?

Joyce, what the hell was that about?

Oh, I slap Miguel on the butt all the time. We have that kind of relationship.

No, I'm talking about Renee.

You kind of blew him off. I thought you were saying yes to everything.

That would be insane.

I'm not just saying yes. I am being decisive.

All right. Well, in this case, I think you should consider a yes because Renee

is upset and he has the ear of all the nurses. They're talking about a walkout.

What? No.

A walkout would be a disaster. I'm meeting with the board next week.

Okay, we have to figure this out. How about a compromise?

You know, like maybe we cover nurses based on seniority. Alex, respectfully,

sound like a dumbass right now. Okay? No compromise.

Compromise is for the weak.

Okay, here's the plan. I'm going to hit him with some charm, and you are going

to gather intel. Okay, you're my mole.

I am not your mole, okay? If anything, I'm like a facilitator. I'm a bridge.

Okay, that's the right thing to say, mole.

I'm not a mole. Okay, you are selling this so well, it's scaring me.

Joyce, I'm not a mole.

You're freaking me out.

Hey, Ron, we've been jamming on your date idea, and I think we've got

We're thinking dinner.

At? A restaurant.

Did you two guys just think of that? Yeah. I'm leaning towards Brazilian

barbecue. Because it's fun and you hold up those signs.

Yes, meat.

No meat.

Good to take those sons home, if you know what I mean. Yeah, because then I'd

stealing. Why don't you just find a nice upscale place?

Oh, okay.

Oh, how about that new shrimp and crab buffet on Weir Street?

She's allergic to shellfish, man. Come on.

Why don't you take her to Enzo's? They got live music. She loves that place.

How do you know so much about my girl?

Oh, Ronnie, you hound. What?

No, I've got it. No, it's okay. You can help me. Please, Ron. If not for me,

then for Joyce.

All right, I'll give you guys five minutes.

To my St. Dennis family, I just wanted to show my appreciation for the hardest

-working staff on the planet. Your efforts do not go unnoticed.

And then she crossed off sorry for your loss because this was clearly a sympathy

card. Wow, that's so thoughtful.

Guys, these are not cheap flavors, okay? She went premium on us. What?

I think we're canceling the walkout. Love to see a happy ending.

Stop it.

What? Why?

It's a bribe.

A pathetic one. She's trying to placate us, Matt.

Come on, guys. Don't be so cynical.

Yeah, Joyce always says we're family.

She's our mom. Sure, you're family when they need unpaid overtime.

But try asking for a mental health day. Guys, is it possible that Joyce just

cares about us? She and Joyce were talking in her office earlier.

All right, so Joyce and I are close, but that is a good thing, because I can

gather intel for you. I can be like your mole.

I'm listening.

Oh, great. Okay, well, I already have something.

So Joyce is really focused on this upcoming board meeting. If we wait until

has time to really sit down, talk things through. We're going to lose all our

leverage.

We need to move now.

Look at you, Miss Good -for -something.

Thanks.

You know, I was thinking you were right.

A walkout could be fun.

Out in the fresh air, holding up signs that say, like, both sides valid, love

work, can't wait to get back.

Matt, no. It's us against them.

Management would replace us with Roombas if those things knew how to find a

vein. How do I explain corporate greed to you?

Have you seen Wolf of Wall Street? Or the big shorts?

No, that does both sound funny. The big short, that's great.

Okay.

Have you seen A Bug's Life?

Yeah, last weekend.

Remember the whole thing about the ants and the grasshoppers? Yep, the

grasshoppers bossed the ants around, but it's out of fear because the ants

outnumbered them, and if they ever united and fought back, oh, my God.

Exactly. It's about bugs, but also people.

Do you think they thought about that when they were writing it?

Wait, what's cars about?

Okay. Got you a 6 .30 table at Inzo's. Go pick out the flowers.

Do you have any Venus fly traps?

I'll pick out the flowers.

Spring makes... What about this? I can add the word friend so it says, it's a

boyfriend. That would be good if anyone in history ever used the phrase, it's a

boyfriend. Or, better idea, how about you put a Y in front of the A so it

it's your boy.

Bring it up.

Yeah. Alex, can I speak to you for a second?

It's about a gas leak.

Oh, yes,

absolutely. I want to hear about that for sure.

It's okay. The gas leak is small and I'm taking care of it. Wait, what? Did they

love the donuts? What is the nicest thing they said about me? No, the donuts

nothing. I have no clue how they got this idea, but now the nurses are

about doing their walkout before your board meeting. Okay, Alex, you're

to be calming these people down, not riling them up.

You're not doing your job as my rat.

They thought I was a mole.

Okay, I thought you didn't like the mole thing. Alex, you're all over the place

today. Okay, so they intentionally limit patient tech hours just to avoid giving

them health care benefits.

Yep. And that's not to give them more free time for their hobbies at all.

No. But that... That's not fair.

Okay, your world view is imploding. Just take a breath.

Now you know why we take so much ibuprofen home.

And Band -Aids.

And blankets sometimes.

Oh, look at this.

Corncob water bottle. Come on. Joyce will love.

Oh, no.

We got the flowers.

Let's just ring them up and get out of here. Oh, come on.

Let's go.

Salvador Samuel Sawyer.

Unbelievable. There's no Sanderson. Excuse me, sir. Who decides what names

these keychains? I don't know. They just come in. Oh, Bruce.

Oh, man. Oh, yeah, you got tons of these bad boys. Smart.

Discrimination. I've asked you to think about Joyce for ten minutes. Easy for

you to say with all these wrongs. You know what? We won't be making this

purchase. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. All right, you know what? I

up. Go with your instincts. You're going to plan something that's going to be

horrible because you are not a serious man.

She will be crushed and you all will break up. Again, for the 20th time. And

this time I hope it sticks because Joyce deserves better.

Christmas shopping?

Check.

Merry Bruce -mas to all.

Oh, hello, Joyce.

Hey, Matt, how's it going?

I'm okay. A little hard to breathe with your boot on my neck.

You said it.

Wow.

We all need to get to the same page, okay? Because the people up top only

understand one language, and that's violence.

Matt, that's not what I'm saying.

I like that energy, though.

Yeah, Joyce isn't in charge. We are.

We could all get together and kill her if we wanted to. Did someone do

to Matt?

Hello, everyone.

Boo.

Okay. Look, I heard the donuts were underwhelming, so new plan.

Tomorrow, taco truck, guacamole very much included.

What do you mean you heard about the donuts? That part doesn't matter. We

be bought with some pathetic taco truck, Joyce.

Excuse me?

Oh, I see.

Very good.

Did you text Joyce?

No, I am literally texting Tim about Ellis Cleets.

Okay, who just texted me? I'm on your side. I'm just playing Joyce.

Alex, you just texted me that. How am I not in your phone?

This is all so shady.

What in the absolute is going on around here?

Matt. I mean, seriously, though.

Okay.

Okay. I think I see what's going on here.

Alex is playing both sides for her own personal amusement.

Yeah. What? You've been dousing this day in gasoline, lighting the match, and

then laughing in our charred faces.

Renee, you are smart and you are thoughtful. Let's reach a compromise.

I thought that compromise was for the weak.

We're running a hospital, not invading Poland.

Jeez. Okay.

Crazy idea. A seniority system.

Reimbursements kick in when you've worked here, say, six years.

Oh.

That's how long I've worked here. Well, I guess it works out then.

See, you got a problem, you come to Big J and maybe avoid Big A.

Thanks, Joyce.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

Well, we should still talk about the toilet paper around here. It's too

scratchy. Wow, we really climbed out of that one.

You, right? Joyce, you completely threw me under the bus.

But I used your idea.

Yeah, and you took the credit for it. Okay, now this is just getting nasty.

took credit for what?

Your nurse has got something. Just take the win.

Hey. So no one's talking about walking out anymore.

That's good.

Renee's back to hating me again. If it helps, I don't think he ever stops

you. Thanks, Matt.

A long problema.

It means no problem.

Oh, does it? Yeah. It's tough being middle management.

And you take it on the chin from both sides.

No real power to change things, and when things go right, you still don't get

any credit.

Then again, it just started pouring, and my car is, like, right there.

So it's a pretty good day, actually.

Putting out fires.

It's part of the job.

Shh, shh, shh.

Oh! Watch it.

Be careful.

Sanderson, what?

It was just a hungry hippo pellet. Okay, now.

Help,

Joyce, I'm stuck.

Help, Jojo.

Why are you in a body bag?

Because I would rather die than be without you.

All right, hold still.

Come on.

Jojo. Joyce, I love you. You are smart.

And you are strong. And you don't let anything hold you back. Not even your

famous shellfish allergy. Come on, stop.

There, there.

Earlier today, my best friend gave me a tough talk.

He said I wasn't a serious man.

And you know what? He was right.

So I want to show you just how serious I am.

What I'm trying to say is, Chris Henderson, will you marry me?

We were a part of this.

Were we really?

One, two, three.

Four, five, six.

Seven. If she gets to ten, I'm pulling the fire alarm.

Okay.

Also, just flagging, we need to talk about the keychains in the gift shop,

that can wait till later.

My bride.
