Oh!

We can't both shower
at the same time, Lea.

One of us would
block the steam
of water for the other.

Oh, Shaun, this is not
for the purpose
of cleanliness.

This is for the purpose
of having sex with you.

Oh.

N... No. No.

It would be inconvenient,
possibly dangerous.

Soap might get into
difficult places.

If we leaned against
the shower handle,

we could
scald ourselves.

Bottles could
be disarranged.

It was just a thought.

It was a bad thought.

I'm surprised.

You're such an
intelligent person.

I'll... Reset your alarm.

It's
a three-day weekend
and a full moon.

People are gonna do
stupid things.

I'm asking everyone
to take an extra trauma call
in the ER.

Make yourselves available
if you're needed.

Questions?

How'd you get
the bruise?

First casualty
of the full moon.

I smacked my head
on a cupboard door

when I was reaching
for my coffee mug.

Any other questions?

Why is there a Subaru
in your parking space?

Because it's my car.

You have a car?

You're gonna be seeing
a lot of it.
I sold the Ducati.

What? No.

It just
wasn't practical.

Is it already gone?
Because...

A guy from Craigslist
snatched it up.

Any other questions...
Not dealing with the bike?

It wasn't that much
of a bruise.

But the doctor
at the ski resort told us

I might develop
a hematoma?

It's not unusual,
but it'll need to be drained.

I see you were treated
for melanoma six years ago,

and, more recently,
breast cancer.

Hence the ski trip.

A celebration.

One year cancer-free.
Also five years cancer-free.

I don't suppose a long needle
will be involved in this?

Your hematoma extends
pretty deep,

so the needle will
have to be long.

But it's over quickly.

Sorry, I have to intervene
before this deal goes south.

You don't mind
if I step out?

Would you like us to wait
for your husband to come back?

No.

Let's go ahead.

How do you get
frostbite in San Jose?

Cryotherapy accident.

I stayed in the booth
a little too long.

I was going to stand outside
for the full three minutes,

but he said...I said, "No need."

I'd set the stopwatch
on my phone,

after which, my thoughts
immediately drifted, and...

I came back to find him
frozen in carbonite.

You know, I'm more worried
about the fever.

Was the cryotherapy
meant to treat something?

No. Routine self-care.

We've made life extension
part of our health regime...

Supplements, meditation,
exercise.

Three of my gaming apps
have gone viral.

I'm lucky enough to afford
basically whatever I want,

so I spend it
on my health.

No, I figure fever,
must be an infection.

Well, I know that frostbite
can make you vulnerable.

It just... It didn't seem
severe enough to...

Oh, sorry.
I feel a little queasy.

Aah!

Wyatt.

Ow!

I need a medical
transport team, stat.

Perforated bowel.
He needs immediate surgery.

No. No. Why do people hate
wind farms?

Everyone thinks
they're noisy.

This could make a turbine
sound as quiet

as a page turning
in a library.

That's not worth
our investing in?

Did you even look...
Hold on.

Anything I need to know?

Hematoma's drained.

We're sending a sample
to Pathology... Routine.

Should have it back
sometime tomorrow.

Thank you.
Mm-hmm.

I couldn't help
overhearing a little.

Are you
a venture capitalist?

The only people who ask me
if I'm a VC

are people who want a VC
to invest in their project.

Maybe, after we get your wife
healthy again, we could talk?

Call whenever
you're ready.

My life is listening
to ideas.

If it's good, I'll run it
by my two partners.

If it's really good,

we'll take
a 30% equity position
in your company.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're the one
who wanted us to
get into clean technology.

I think I've been asked out
on a date.

Nice.

No, I work with him.

Hasn't stopped you before.I supervise him.

Schedules can be changed.

He's polyamorous.

Unless he also texted you
a ring, it's just a date.

And you need to
get out more.

So do I.

You want to
take down
the splenocolic ligament.

Just don't nick the
inferior mesenteric artery.

I feel the I.M.A.
under my finger.

Placing the stapler.

And cutting.

I voted "approve."

Disapprove.

No opinion.

There's a poll?

Yes...
About shower sex.

I know it's wrong
to discuss shower sex at work,

so I did a poll instead.

Much better.

Dr. Murphy, do you really
want people knowing
the details

of your personal life?

You don't think they took it
as an abstract question?

No. We all take it as
something that happened
between you and Lea.

And that
there was a fight.

Sometime before
8:00 a.m. today,

which was when the poll
was sent out.

You are very astute.

I'm seeing diffuse dilation
of the large bowel here.

Is that normal?

Some calcified lesions.

Wall's thin, too.

Hirschsprung's.

I thought Hirschsprung's
was a disease only babies

and young children got.

It is.

But he has it.

We treated the Hirschsprung's

by removing the dilated part
of your colon.

It won't impact your life,

but we would like
an explanation.

Dr. Murphy doesn't mean

we expect you
to be a diagnostician.

It's just...

This was
kind of singular.

So, if you have
any thoughts...

Did anyone in your family
suddenly develop
these symptoms?

I did something singular to
myself about six months ago.

I modified
my genetic code.

I did a CRISPR procedure
under the guidance of
some researchers

I know in China
through my work.

They put together
a series of cocktails.

They FedExed them to be, and
Sophie helped me inject them

into my bone marrow.

Why?

If you know anything
about CRISPR,

you know how risky it is
to tinker with your genome.

You have no idea what problems
you might let loose.

I needed to optimize
my telomerase activity.

It's the enzyme responsible
for correcting

cell replication errors,

essentially,
the cause of aging.

You can't stop aging

through changing
your telomerase activity.

You might extend your life
a little, but exercise...

It does the same thing.
Much less risky.

Your decision
makes no sense.

Extending my life
by a few years
is only my short-term goal.

Look, you know how fast
medicine is moving.

The day isn't that far away
when cloning

will make transplants as easy
as switching out
a light socket.

AI will start
to make breakthroughs

that we can't predict
or understand.

Medical knowledge
will rise exponentially.

There are babies born now
who could live to see it,

could live to be
1,000 years old.

Maybe more.
Maybe forever.

Or at least,
as long as they want to.

So, our plan is to give
my CRISPR a year

to make sure the telomerase
change works,

and then
we'll do her.

We'll aspirate a sample
of your bone marrow.

See if we can figure out
what the hell you did.

Hey.

Um... I don't think coffee's
a good idea.

Entire civilizations
rely on it.

But I don't think
you're referring to
the beverage itself.

I don't think it's
a good idea for first-years

and fourth-years
to go out.

I am bound to supervise you
at some point in the future,

and it'd get complicated
trying to change dates out,

and the fact is...

Seeing somebody you work with
rarely ends happily.

So, I appreciate you
thinking of me, but I...

Oh, you thought it was
a date.

I'm still new here,
and I thought it was

a good opportunity to get
to know each other.

Coffee's perfect
because you're asking

the least amount of commitment
from another human being.

It's not even lunch.

If it's still a "no,"
it's still a "no,"

but I'll let you
re-think your answer.

He only claimed
it wasn't a date
to save face.

Or maybe I just assumed.

But why did I assume?

I don't think I'm
some kind of narcissist

who thinks every man
wants to get close to me.

Or we both assumed it's a date
because it's a date.

This is fun.
I like being your bestie.

Slumber party?

I made a poll to test
the popularity of shower sex.

I heard.

I fielded some questions
about that.

"Approve" has won,
but don't get too excited,
Lea.

It's only 58-38,

with several
complicated noncommittals,

so clearly my attitude
is reasonable.

We don't have room
for a...

Skier exercise thing.

I'm only putting it together
so I can take a picture

and sell it online.

Why do you have it
if you don't want it?

My ex sent it.

"Ex"?

Husband.

I left this thing
in the attic

until I got settled somewhere
with enough space.

And okay,
that was 10 years ago,

but it's not like
it was in his way.

We got married, not for long,
right out of high school.

Literally
the boy next door.

We grew up together.
People expected it.

It... Was a big mistake.

We both realized it
pretty quickly.

Why would you even
want to live forever?

You'd be bored
out of your mind.

The person I am now

is miles away from the person
I was at 14.

I only get more distant
every year.

You learn to understand,

love books that
you once hated,

sometimes people
you once hated.

Music that you didn't get
the point of becomes magical.

And a thousand new doors
will open.

I look forward
to the adventure.

Ow.

Sorry. Adventure's not always
gonna be fun.

I figure it takes
40 or 50 years

just to get over
the things your parents did.

If only we lived
long enough,

the human race might finally
have a chance to grow up.

What size shoes
do you wear?

Seven and a half.

"Dr. Allen's Walking On Clouds
Inserts."

Putting "doctor" in the name
is always good
marketing strategy.

They're designed
to reduce inflammation

that could lead to
plantar fasciitis,

calluses, arthritis,
and they feel damn good.

Does this have anything
to do with our patient's

venture capitalist
husband?

I need testimonials.

Labs and Path
for Hannah Palmer.

Aren't we all busy enough
learning how to be surgeons?

Do you really want to
divide your focus onto
something trivial?

Because wanting to make money
taints the purity of medicine?

I have five brothers.

I've been
taking care of people
my whole life.

Someone got hurt, they came
to me to patch them up.

I became a doctor
so I could get paid for it,

but also because I'm good
at taking care of people.

It's possible to do something
for more than one reason.

The news is bad.

There's an abnormally
healthy population

of hematopoietic progenitor
stem cells.

He did it?It's significant.

He's succeeded in optimizing
enough telomerase activity

to potentially add 10 years
to his natural life.

Well, assuming it
doesn't subtract about 50.

There's already
an autoimmune reaction

that mimics
Hirschsprung's.

Who knows what else
he did?

What if this is the opposite
of an auto-immune condition?

What if
he's done something

that lowers his resistance
to infection?

Then we'd be seeing
more opportunistic infections

of the lungs and skin.

If you lived
another 1,000 years,

would you be with
the same person at the end

as at the beginning?

No.No.

No, if you assume
monogamy.

I mean, that puts too much
strain on a relationship.

Is one person supposed to
be everything to another,

all the time,
for 1,000 years?

Apparently Jesus agrees.
On monogamy.

He said that, in Heaven,
there'll be no more marriages.

I guess humans can't sustain
a relationship that long.

You read
the New Testament, too?

And the Qur'an.
And other things.

It's like
you're a stalker.

It's like you and God had
an acrimonious divorce.

What if he caused
neurofibromatosis?

Microscopic tumors forming
on the nerve sheath?

Mm. Possible,
but there'd have been

some evidence
of Schwann cell growth

around his colon.

Would you still love your wife
in 1,000 years?

You have three answers.
That should be enough.

Park's marriage failed
in far less time,

and Enrique
doesn't even try.

Asher is an...

Unknown quantity.

You're committed.

You've made promises.

I've made promises
based on

an understood
human life-span, Murphy.

Most likely diagnosis is
autoimmune polyneuropathy.

It damaged the enteral
ganglion nerve

and led to
the perforations.

Start him on steroids
and immunosuppressants.

Dr. Andrews.

So, you wouldn't
have gotten married

if you thought
it would be forever.

You expect all relationships
to fail over time.

It's just a question
of how long?

I love her now.

I intend to love her
as long as I live.

But, eventually,
everything breaks.

I always go back
to comfort reading

when I'm in
the hospital.

Cozy mysteries
in little English villages,

where nothing bad happens
to anyone we like.

We've gotten
your results back.

When will
your husband be...

Is it cancer?

Yes.

Thyroid carcinoma.

We're gonna do
a complete imaging series

to pinpoint
just how advanced...

Treatment?

Surgery to remove some or all
of your thyroid

is usually the first line
of defense.

Sometimes, we can wait,
but given the hematoma

was probably caused
by the tumor
invading nearby vasculatures,

we should probably do it
in the next few days.

Later, there'll be radioactive
iodine treatment...

Panic attack?

Her trachea's deviated
to the right.

The tumor's compressing it.
We're doing surgery now.

What happened?
The nurse just said "surgery."

Was it the hematoma?

It's more serious.

I... It's not cancer...

Again.

Thyroid carcinoma.

We've removed her thyroid.
She's doing well.

We're looking into
potential causes...

Genetic, environmental.

There may be a deeper issue
that we can find and address.

I can't do this.

You've done it before.

You'll do it
this time.

Do you know
what it's like...

To wake up every morning
and know your wife

might not be here
next year?

All those treatments...

They all... They all have this
little tag attached to them

that says,
"Because she might die."

And you see them
put those gloves on

before they hook up
the chemo.

You know why
they do that.

It's because
it's poison.

And you sit there...

And you watch them
shove poison
into the person you love.

And why?

Because she might die.

We're killing her
because she might die.

Go for a run.

Go punch a wall.

You need to release
some endorphins.

My release is my job.

That's why I love it.

My work requires
total focus.

And every minute
I'm working

is a minute
I'm not thinking about...

Losing her.

I have to go.

Your pain and weakness
are consistent with
polyneuropathy,

treatable with steroids
and immunosuppressants.

If you live 1,000 years,
will you still love Sophie?

Yes.

How can you be sure?

People change.
You expect to change.

Sophie and I
will change together.

We'll go through
the same adventures

and learn
the same lessons.

What if you go through
the same adventures

and learn
different lessons?

Even if we did, whoever,
whatever we become,

Sophie will always
be beautiful.

I mean, she could turn into
a machine or a set of pixels

or a giant purple flower,
and she'll still be beautiful,

because it's part of
her essential nature.

But if you don't know
how you'll change,

you don't know
how you'll change.

Shaun.

We'll let you
get some rest.

The steroids should make you
feel a lot better.

Why didn't you ever mention
you had an ex-husband?

Shaun, I've barely
thought about him in years.

I didn't mention him
because he's not important.

I know.
That's the problem.

At one time, you felt he was
important enough to your life

to marry him, and now
you barely think of him.

You make long-term plans,
you have expectations,

and then something
happens to you,

and suddenly you're
a different person.

I know you don't like change,
but it's not all bad.

After all, you are working to
change yourself all the time.

I'm working to be a better
surgeon, a better boyfriend,

better at the things
I've chosen,

but this...

Other change...
It's unpredictable.

You don't choose it.

It just comes at you.

Oh, it's like hurricanes
before 1873,

when the Army Signal Corps
first put up flags

to warn people
storms were coming.

Before that, houses were
flattened, lives destroyed,

and there was no way to see
it was heading for you.

Shaun.

Our relationship will not end
in natural disaster.

It did begin in one.

I'm going to look in
on my patient.

Okay.

Blood and saliva will tell us
if there's a genetic cause,

and the samples
we take from your house

will tell us if there's
something environmental.

I know it's s... Stupid.

I've almost felt guilty
for my cancer,

like I arbitrarily decided
to be sick and burdensome.

Do the people
you're close to

ever act like
you're a burden to them?

You mean Alan.

He's scared.

He takes the exit he's got
and he turns to his work.

You're okay with that?

I accept this compromise.

That's not the hard part.

The hard part is...

Not knowing.

Each new thing that happens,
I worry, "Is this it?

"Is this where
I lose him?

"Is this where
he breaks?"

So, this is
boiled coffee.

Some people call it
"Turkish coffee,"

or "Greek coffee,"
or "Egyptian coffee"...

Because we need to
take ownership

and put things
in categories.

Yeah.

You actually live
in this thing,

in the hospital
parking garage?

Why not?

Convenient for work.

When I want to spend
a few days off
the beaten track,

it's convenient
for that, too.

Ooh. I'm gonna get
three sips in this.

But three
really great sips.

That's how I try
to live my life...

Try to appreciate, savor,
not pass by.

Is that what
the polyamory is about?

Does it really work,
or is it one of those
theories about life

that people
regret later?

No regrets so far.

Mm-hmm.
No, I guess not.

Not while you're young
and having fun.

It is fun,

but not for the reasons
that you're thinking.

It isn't about sex.

It's about commitment,
emotional connection.

The joy I'm sure you get
out of a relationship,

I get a little more.

Also, I have to give
a little more.

But that's meaningful,
too.

Hmm.

Do you mind if I
ask you something,

since we're
getting personal?

Sure.

What's your favorite
misheard song lyric?

This is nice.

I'm glad it's
not a date.

Me, too.

I don't believe
in those categories.

He reported widespread
bilateral pain,

then he keeled over.

B.P. dropped to 80
over palp.

I'll order a vasopressor.

Already did.Good.

We need an EKG, CBC, and chest
images, and a new diagnosis.

Whatever he caused
with CRISPR,
it's not just neuropathy.

Something else
is killing him.

What if he's caused something
that mimics

carcinomatous
autonomic neuropathy?

It explains the B.P.
and bowel issue.

That doesn't explain
the sensory issue
that led to the frostbite.

A connective
tissue disorder?

That would have shown up
on the scans.

His chest looks normal.

Maybe we can't think
of the answer

because there is
no answer.

We keep trying to jam it
into these categories we know,

the diseases
that we know.

But this never
existed before.

He created a new combination
of genetic code.

That means a new combination
of symptoms.

So, we shouldn't be looking at
what fits the picture,

but at what's closest to
the picture,

so we can at least
figure out a treatment.

And what it's closest to
is amyloidosis.

This isn't
an autoimmune neuropathy,

so the nerves must be under
attack by something else.

Something like amyloid disease
could leave deposits

along the nerves,
causing the symptoms
we've seen.

Where do we look
for those deposits?

The spleen.

Drink all 8 ounces.

We talked.
We had a few laughs.

Well,
sounds date-y to me.

I don't think Enrique's
a player.

No, he's kind of the opposite
of a player.

With him, emotional connection
is the point.

He's trying to live
some idealistic fantasy

where everyone is nice
and no one is jealous.

I am so staying away.

Well, of course.

Once I heard
"emotional connection,"

I knew the game was over.

What does that mean?

I'm against emotion?

I'm not the one
with "cold-hearted bitch"

as my social media hashtag.

She's an
excellent doctor.

Every time
you've loved somebody,

it's ended in disappointment
or death...

Sometimes both.

It's like a reflex now.

You just expect that
everything ends badly,
so why start?

So, despite the many
practical reasons
not to go out

with a first-year,
this is all about me?

Is that a diamond ring?

I mean, it's pretty.

Our patient caught
her fiance cheating.

Big fight.
He demanded the ring back.

She swallowed it.

I did.

You don't even know
if this is "going out,"

and that's the point.

It doesn't matter
what Enrique's offering.

Whether it's friendship or
romance, you're not investing.

You're risk-averse.

Your portfolio right now
is entirely in T-Bills
and money market.

I have no idea
what that means.

And it's too bad,
because a guy
that can make you laugh

might be just what you need
right now.

It's progressed to
your large intestine.

Here's a plastic bag.
Put it over the toilet seat.

You'll have every opportunity
to recover your property.

Don't run away
from a chance at love.

It's a date...

Maybe.

I don't know.

Oh.

Her house
is full of T.C.E.,

a side effect
from chip-making

back in Silicon Valley's
early days.

So, they move away
from their toxic home,

and hopefully
things get a little better.

Probably not much.

She also has a genetic
predisposition.

It's both?

She shouldn't go outside
in a rainstorm.

How do you tell a woman
that her third cancer

likely won't be close
to her last?

Unfortunately,
this is a teaching moment.

Dr. Allen,
after 12 hours on duty,

I can report that
your inserts came through.

Check your e-mail.
You'll find my testimonial.

Claire. Olivia.

And if you're right,
what will you do?

We'll treat the symptoms
with targeted drug therapies.

There really isn't a disease,
as such, that we can address.

Ow.

The pain shifted?

Yeah.
Oh.

Never mind about
the ultrasound.

It'll be easier to check
for deposits after
the organ's been removed.

After it's...Yeah.

His spleen's about to rupture.
Call a transport team.

It's called
Li-Fraumeni Syndrome... LFS.

An inherited
predisposition

to developing a wide range
of cancers.

Yes, there was a toxin
in your environment

that likely played a role
in this,

but there will be other
triggers in the future.

Your body
is super sensitive

and will respond with tumors
for the rest of your life.

I know that's a shock,

but here's what
you should know...

Most cancers are treatable
if found early enough.

We know the most common
associated with LFS,

and we can
do surveillance,

nip anything in the bud
before it becomes a problem.

It may not seem this way now,
but this is good.

We know what
we're dealing with.

We're warned,
and we'll be ready.

He won't be able
to handle this.

Liver, pancreas,
other organs look normal.

Ah.

But there are
calcified lesions
along these nerves.

He's gonna be
in pain like this
for the rest of his life.

No.

There's a reasonable chance
it'll get worse

as time goes on.

I need my sharp-blunt
curved scissors.

What if we
used CRISPR
to reverse CRISPR?

Researchers have identified
a protein in certain bacteria

that inhibits CRISPR.

What if we insert the DNA
that makes that protein

into our
patient's genome?

That would deactivate
the CRISPR gene.

So, CRISPR messed
him up permanently,

and you think we should
do more of it?

I don't know.
Our patient is a risk-taker.

We'd need
a delivery mechanism.

The code would have to be
introduced through a virus...

A virus that specifically
targets nerves.

Polio targets nerves.

Because this isn't
risky enough.

Polio is such
a dangerous virus

because it's so good
at penetrating
the nervous system.

Dr. Murphy?

She's going to be
this way... Forever.

She'll have good periods
and bad periods.

But she will always
have to be on her guard.

Is she always gonna have to be
on guard against you, too?

What does that mean?

Chronic illness puts strain
on relationships.

Statistically,
it is more often
the man who can't handle it.

Our marriage is none
of your business.

Her health
is my business.

And your behavior
adds to her stress.

You look at her,
and you imagine she's gone,
and that is hard.

I get it.

She thinks the same thing
when she looks at you.

I never complain to her.
I know it's nobody's fault.

You don't think she knows you
have trouble with all this?

Every time
something new happens,

she wonders,
is this the straw

that is gonna break
your marriage?

You've got her living in a
constant state of uncertainty.

That is practically
the definition of stress.

So, this is the "straighten up
and fly right" lecture.

No.

I am...

I'm telling you to consider
how best to time your divorce.

There are gonna be
a lot of new issues
dropping on Hannah,

and if you're gonna end up
leaving anyway,

you should start
planning now.

I don't want to leave
my wife.

My best advice?

Help her through
this next round of treatment
as best you can,

and then get out.

It's hard living with someone
who needs so much.

I know you feel
there is a point
where you have nothing left,

where you're ready
to break.

Just... Don't break
when she needs you most.

Get out
before that happens.

Reading an article
that's five years old?

Dr. Glassman was once involved
in an experimental attempt

to treat Parkinson's
with CRISPR technology.

It failed.

So, it's both old
and it didn't work?

Dr. Glassman
likes his failures
to be informative.

That's why his articles
are longer.

Do you worry about losing
the people you love?

Because we can't stop
ourselves from changing,

which means we might
stop loving someone,

or they might stop
loving us.

It is a very bad thing.

It is.

So, no one can
ever feel... Safe.

How can you keep going
if you never feel safe?

Well, sometimes, not changing
is just as dangerous.

So, how do you know
when to do what?

If you find
the answer to that,
let me know.

I have it.You do?

Dr. Glassman used
varicella zoster virus

as the delivery mechanism,
which didn't work.

His first choice
was herpes simplex,

but the technology
was not up

to putting their DNA package
into it.

The technology
has improved.

It can be done.

Using conventional
treatments,

there's nothing more
we can do for you.

The pain will be permanent,
and it could get worse.

Well, I've not been one to be
limited by the conventional.

We think we can reverse
the CRISPR.

You want to
reverse what I did?
My telomerase change?

They want to
stop your pain.

Soph, it's temporary.

What is it, 40 years?

That's nothing.
Our real lives are
ahead of us.

Hey, look, as long as this
doesn't kill me,

I've made the right choice,
no matter how bad things get.

No.

I was willing to exercise
for hours and fast,

to give up all sugar
and alcohol

and do all the other things
that we needed to do

to get to a future that I knew
might never come.

But now, you're asking me
to watch you suffer

for the rest
of your life.

You're the one
who embraces change.

So, change to the person
who can be happy with me...

Here and now.

Doctors, would you mind
waiting outside?

Why did she want us
to leave?

I think she's delivering
an ultimatum.

Are you sure
about this?

It seems there's always
something else

that I have to give up.

But this isn't like sugar
or cigarettes.

You won't get over this
in a hurry.

No.

Not in 1,000 years.

Are you gonna
be okay?

I'm fine.

Alan's at work, but there
should be a taxi waiting.

I won't say goodbye,
Dr. Browne,

'cause I'll probably be
seeing you again pretty soon.

I sent your cab away.

I'm sorry
I wasn't here sooner.

I had to present a proposal
to my partners.

I'm selling them my share
of the business.

Is... Is there something else
you want to do?

Yes.

I want to be
your husband.

I realized I was so...

Afraid of losing you
in the future...

I was losing you now.

Sorry.

I hear your VC contact
decided to quit the business.

He did the right thing.

You know...

My feet
are killing me.

I'm open.
To being friends.

That's great.

I'm open, too,
to wherever this goes.

It's going
to friendship.

Understood.

But life is
about change,

which means, one day,
you might change your mind.

And if you did,
I'd be open to that, too.

It's not gonna happen.

Okay.

First, there should be
no soap involved.

Also, we need to stay
at one end of the shower,

so we don't accidentally knock
into the temperature control.

What changed
your mind?

I've been thinking about
change over time.

I spoke with people
and also graphed

several possibilities
for us,

using time as
the horizontal axis

and change as
the vertical.

I realized that the problem
isn't really change.

It's whether two people change
in the same direction.

We want to keep
our coordinates
close to each other

for the rest
of our lives.

We certainly do.

But people sometimes
do drift apart.

Yes.

You need a warning
when you and your partner

might be starting
to veer off,

so you can both
change course a little.

You don't want
a surprise realization
when it's too late.

Surprises are awful.

The U.S. Army Signal Corps
used flags to warn
of hurricanes.

I brought us this.

A cowbell?

If you see us heading
in different directions,

you ring it.

Do we really need a bell?
Can't I just tell you?

Oh! When you ring it,
I'll pay attention.

I really hate
the sound.

Only in emergencies.

I've already moved
the shampoo bottles.

What?

Oh.

You mean now?

Don't worry about putting
the bottles back.

I'll do it later.

I love you.

It's no trouble.
I remember where they all go.
