[No Audible Dialogue]

-Hey.
-[Door Shuts]

Bria, it's Ally.

Ally! Oh--

Thank you for coming.

Well, how beautiful you've become.

Well, of course, you always were.

-Robert, say hello to Ally McBeal.
-Hi.

Hello. I was the one
who called you, actually.

Robert's been visiting me all week.

I'm trying to get the lowdown...

on where I'm headed,
but he's mum.

-Ah. [Chuckles]
-[Chuckles]

Ally was a student
of mine in high school.

My favorite student.

Did I ever tell you that?

Well, I-I suspected.

Oh, how many years has it been?

Too many.

Oh, whatever happened to that
sweetheart of yours?

Oh--Billy, I think his name was.

Uh, y-you know, he grew up...

and became, you know, a man.

-Oh, you two--
-No. No. Mm-mmm.

Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.

You know, Ally and he smelled...

each other's buttocks
when they were eight.

It was love at first whiff.

[Chuckles] Like two dogs in a playground.

[Sizzling]

A couple of snorts--They knew they were
meant for each another.

There-There was a context.

Oh, you're such a darling to come.

I--I-I think...

I need to take a little rest.

And then you'll catch me up?

Sure.

The doctors don't give her
very much time.

Is that--Is that why
you're here? To-To--

Oh, no, no, no.
I've just been dropping by.

We've become friendly.
She seems like a special woman.

-Oh, she is.
-Oh, Henry.

Oh, how good of you to come.

For me?

Oh, they're perfectly beautiful.

-Bria?
-I'll put them in water directly.

-Oh, they take my breath.
-She said Henry.

Sh-She used to have this dream
of a man named Henry--

Henry Lane.

They were in love. She-She must still
dream about him.

-[Sighs]
-Was this somebody she knew?

Oh, no, no, no. He wasn't real. He was
only--[Stammers]

Actually, I take that back.

Bria said he was real, but he only existed
in her dreams.

A-And sometimes she'd cry
when she woke up because...

-waking up made him gone.
-[Chuckles]

I'll slap your face,
you get fresh with me.

[Laughs]
I-I think she's talking to him now.

Hmm--
[Sniffs]

Did she just
visit his bottom?

-The flowers. He brought her flowers!
-Oh! Ally--

-Don't let them keep me alive.
-Wait. Whoa, whoa. Shh.

I can't move my legs.

I won't be able to walk in my garden.
I'm losing my eyesight.

-They say I won't be able to read.
-Shh.

Don't let them use
those blasted contraptions.

-When it's time, it's time.
-Okay.

You promise me.

-Oh.
-Shh.

-[Electronic Beep]
-[Toilet Flushes]

John.

It's almost midnight. I thought I was
the only one still here.

I'm about to go.

Are you having
a happy New Year so far?

Am I...
having a happy New Year?

You don't have
to answer right away.

Will you ever relax
around me?

After our mistletoe kiss...

I thought that--

I could be wrong,

but I think you need
to be shocked.

[Stammering]
Parcells.

You know what excites me
a little?

Public places.

Of course, there's nobody else about to
come in here this late, is there?

I'm sure we'll be safe.

[Beeping]

-What's that?
-My bowl beckons me.

-[Toilet Flushes]
-I really should go.

[All Laughing]

-Ally?
-Oh, Billy.

Billy, Bria. Here's Billy.

-I thought you two weren't---
-W-Well, we're not.

-But we still work together, so--
-Hi, Bria.

Oh, look at you.
[Chuckles]

Turned into
such a beautiful man.

-Why didn't you two marry?
-Well, it--

-Well, you know, this is, uh, Father--
-McNamara. Hello.

-Billy Thomas.
-This would be the Billy?

Never mind.

-Did you ever find love?
-What?

Um, well, sure, I--

I find it everywhere.
[Laughs]

I mean, love is all
around us, right, Bria?

You know what I mean.

No, not yet.
I'm--I'm still--I--

W-Well, I, of course, loved
Billy, but since, you know--

There's just something so special
about that first behind.

-Hey!
-What?

[Laughing]
Isn't he delightful?

He's been making me
laugh all week.

Oh, he's made me feel safe.

How about your sister?
I-Is she--

Helen? Oh, we sort of lost touch.
Uh, she's--

-How would you describe her, Robert?
-Dead.

Oh. Yes, three years ago.

-Oh, sorry.
-Yeah.

Ally--

Promise me you won't
grow old alone.

It's not a good thing.

Could-Could you two
go talk sports for a second?

You still see Henry,
don't you?

How did you know?

When you fell asleep,
you talked a little.

Oh.

-Henry and I married.
-You did?

Three children.

In the last few years
the dreams come more often.

Now it's almost every night,

and somehow I'm able to
continue them.

-Do you still dream?
-Oh, yeah.

No. I mean the fantasies.

-Sometimes.
-Ah, that's wonderful.

[Chuckles] And you've never been
institutionalized?

-Not yet.
-Oh, you're such a dear girl to come.

-Dear girl.
-[Monitor Beeping]

-Bria?
-[Continuous Beep]

-Nurse!
-Oh, uh, Bria?

[Woman] We've got
a code in room three.

Bria, um--

Get the crash cart.
I need the ambu bag.

-Charging joules.
-I need one amp of epi ready to go!

I need somebody to bag her.

-All right.
-They charged?

-Clear.
-[Screams]

-[Screams]
-[Screams]

[Screams]

But she's still flat-lining!
How could she?

It's a miracle.

No, no. It's not a miracle.
It's something else.

-We call it H.M.O.
-Oops.

You were about
to electrocute me.

I saw you.
I have my lawyer here.

-Ally.
-Greg.

[Stammers]
Is-Is she okay?

Well, she seems
a little litigious.

Other than that--
How's it going?

Fine. You?

Fine.

-She dated him.
-What a surprise.

Why were they
going to electrocute me?

They-They thought your heart had
stopped, but it was only mine.

A wire--It-It was only a wire that--
that came loose.

You're fine.

You mind me getting a second
opinion from my doctor?

Oh, sure.

False alarm, Bria.
You can go back to sleep.

Uh, I think I'll do that.

So, you're back
in Boston?

Yeah.

You look--

-Patient.
-Sure.

[Children Laughing,
Chattering]

[Bria] All right, children.
Time to come in.

-Come on.
-[Child] Okay, Mom.

[Ally] How much time
do you give her?

Well, with A.L.S.,
progression varies.

She could live a week. She could live
two or three months.

-Her body is basically shutting down.
-And there's nothing you can do?

-Not really at this point, I'm afraid.
-Well-Well, what about you?

-Oh, I'm trying.
-Don't stop.

Oh, don't stop.

Oh! Yeah. Right there.

-Bria?
-She's having sex with Henry.

-Aaah! What happened? What happened?
-Hey.

-Hey, Bria--Hey.
-Can somebody help me?

It's okay. It's Ally.
I'm right here. You're okay.

-Don't tell me I'm okay. I'm dying.
-Shh.

We need you to stay calm.
Try to get some rest.

I'm right here,
and so is Robert.

-Can't you tell her you're here?
-You're blocking me.

I dreamt I was gone.
I don't want to be gone.

-I'm not ready to go.
-You're right here, Bria.

We're all here with you.

Now can I sleep?
I'd like to sleep some.

Of course you can.
Doctor, I'd like to stay asleep.

-Okay, okay.
-No. I-I mean stay asleep.

-Not wake up again.
-I'm sorry?

I don't want to be awake.
I don't want to be crippled.

I don't want to be sick.

-I just want to be with Henry.
-Who's Henry?

Her husband--I-In her dreams.

-They-They also have children.
-Yeah.

When I sleep, I'm with them.
That's where I want to be.

For now, I want you to get some rest.
We'll talk about that later.

Oh.

Uh, Greg?

-You can induce comas, right?
-Excuse me?

She's happier asleep.
You heard her.

Ally, we don't induce comas
for the purpose of dreaming.

Even if--Even--

No.
[Chuckles]

-So, when did you get back in Boston?
-Just after Christmas.

Chicago--

What, did you meet somebody--
Had to leave town?

That was a joke.

I was actually planning
to call you.

-Hmm.
-[Bria] Ally?

Excuse me.

It's so beautiful there--

Where I sleep.

You're a lawyer, right?

-A court order?
-Yes.

-To keep her in a coma?
-Yes.

[Together]
♪ Da, da, da Da, da, da, da ♪

What?

Did you just all go--
♪ Da, da, da, da Da, da, da ♪

-♪♪ [Humming]
-It's not nuts.

O-Okay, it is,
but so is the law.

A person has the right to die. Why can't
they have the right to be in a coma?

I'm going to court. I'll bring it
before Whipper.

She allowed people to have unicorns.
She should be open to this.

-Ally--
-This is from Mars.

So it's from Mars. Fine.
John, will you second chair?

It would help if I went in there
with a native.

[Nose Whistles]

You want to keep her
unconscious?

My client has
a dream world, Your Honor,

where the quality of life is better than
it is when she's awake.

Obviously the hospital opposes this kind
of voodoo, Your Honor.

It is not voodoo. Your patients have the
right to receive pain medication.

-Th-This is--
-Not that.

-Keeping someone in a coma can--
-She can not walk.

She's losing the ability to even read,
and she's totally alone.

Wh-When she sleeps,
sh-she goes into a world...

where she's married, and-and she has
children, and--

-How do you know that?
-She told me.

The dreams are recurring
more and more, and she--

Even if we were to believe that, we don't
willingly put people to sleep--

Because you make the assumption that
it's better to be awake.

Suppose--
Suppose it's not.

Does she have
a family in this world?

Uh, no, Your Honor.

So you're asking to substitute
your judgment to determine--

Actually, no.
She can tell you herself.

Ask her.

[Bell Dings]

Ling! How are you?

-I'm fine.
-Great. Have a nice day.

We need to talk about
your funny little friend Cage.

Ling. Nice to see you.

Yes, I'm not here on "nice" today.
I'm here to talk about Nelle.

She's like a sister.
When she's in pain, I throb.

The funny little man
is starting to bug her.

How so?

He's gay. Do you have any water? Flat--
The bubbles give me gas.

Gay? Uh-Uh, John?

He won't respond sexually, unless you
count prancing around like Barry White.

If there's no water, just tell me.
Why make me look?

-There's no water.
And--And he's not gay.

Then why hasn't he--

Uh, he's shy.
You and I haven't, uh--

That's different.
I don't want to.

Uh, you don't?

-M-May I ask you why not?
-First,

I don't think you're totally
over the big-haired blonde,

naked, nude-buttocks thing.

And second, you're a man
who thinks with his penis.

For me to keep your interest,
I have to keep it alert.

And third, I don't much like sex.
It's messy.

[Gasps]
There is water. You lied.

So, if a woman doesn't
want sex, it's okay,

but if a man doesn't want it,
uh-uh, he's gay?

Yes. That isn't just me.
That's a medical fact.

Hmm--Mmm.
The-The water has bubbles.

-And it's a good life you're dreaming?
-Oh!

It's wonderful.

I'm in love.

I'm a mother. I'm 40.

But you realize
that none of this is real?

When I was in high school I didn't get
invited to the prom.

I stayed home.

But I pretended
I was with...

this beautiful young man.

And I called him Henry.

And it made me happy.

So, from time to time,
when I got blue,

I'd just fantasize
about him.

I'd think about
what he looked like,

the books he'd read,

the clothes he'd wear.

I'd have imaginary
conversations with him.

I gave him
a complete identity.

And then I think it
was when I was in my 30s...

I began to dream
about him in my sleep.

But there he seemed real.

Oh, it got so I couldn't wait
to go to sleep at night.

But since I've been ill--
Well, look at me.

You think I'm crazy
to want to go into that world,

but wouldn't I be crazy not to?

[Bell Dings]

-Did she rule?
-Oh, she found her competent,

but the hospital is refusing
to put her to sleep.

Take her to a vet.

Judging by your looks, I can see I've
misspoken. Bygones.

John, I need you.

What happens next?

We try to get a court order
to force the hospital.

We're back before Whipper
in the morning.

Ally, are you sure you're--

-Never mind.
-No, what?

-Well, your fantasies--
-You're not in them anymore.

Well--

Sometimes
around the holidays.

-That's not where I was going.
-Where were you going?

The truth is, I-I--I think your inner
life is healthy.

I envy somebody who can be so in touch
with their dreams.

-But?
-But to choose to live in them?

-That's not sanity.
-Not for me.

But in her circumstances,
are you sure?

No.

It was nice
to see him again, huh?

-Who?
-Greg.

Oh, him. Um--
[Laughs]

He's-He's just a friend.

Okay.

-Nelle said that to Ling?
-I only know what Ling said to me.

She was under the influence
of thirst at the time,

-but have you really not--
-That's none of your business.

None of my business? You hopped into my
stall for advice.

Ling considers you gay,
and wrong as she might be,

you got to remember, John,
you're not who you are.

You're only what other people think of
you. Uh, Fishism.

-You got to sleep with this woman.
-Ling?

-Nelle.
-[Nelle] What?

-[Both Scream]
-You were saying?

Depends on what you heard.

Nelle, remember how you hate people
talking behind your back?

-Yes.
-I can't do that when you're in the room.

Hmm.
[Whispering] Kiss her.

I'll choose another office.

You told Ling you're frustrated with my
lack of sexual aggressiveness?

Did you?

I might have mentioned
to Ling in confidence that--

That I, um--
Yes.

You're a big believer in straight lines.
Uh, Ling to Richard to me.

-That's your straight line?
-I think I have been honest with you.

Have I been blunt? No.

If-If I'm too direct,
you either stutter,

blurt out something
to do with New York,

whistle with your nose
or jump into a stall.

Then there's
the smile therapy.

I've given you
the benefit of the doubt...

and assumed you're stuck in reverse
because of your frog woes.

Uh, whatever world you live in, John,
I'm not sure I get it.

-Breathe in.
-[Inhales]

Good.

-And again?
-How come you're single?

A pretty man like you.
What's your problem?

Cold stethoscope.
In again.

[Inhales]

[Gasps]

[Clears Throat]

-Okay. I'll check in again on you later.
-Thanks.

-I-I'm going to stay awhile.
-Okay. I'll--

Check back in?

Yeah.

You doing okay?

Yeah.

Uh, play some cards?
Little gin?

You got any?

-Rummy.
-Oh.

-You know, I think--
-You want to sleep?

I miss them.

Then you sleep, Bria.

-Oh, you're such a dear.
-Oh, shh, shh, shh.

[Whispering]

Now, the idea that a hospital would keep a
person in a deep sleep--

It's just preposterous,
as well as ethically immoral.

And why is that, Doctor?

We heal injuries.

We cure disease.

We don't put people under
to dream.

And even if a hospital
were to do so,

there's no
scientific evidence...

that she would even continue
to experience dream patterns.

No scientific evidence
to prove they don't.

A deep sleep would
have to be drug induced--

Probably by sodium pentothal.
That would affect her brain.

Is it possible for her to dream in this
state? Yes or no.

What if a 20-year-old came in? She had
just broken up with her boyfriend.

She says, "I want to sleep
forever. Can you help?"

That isn't this case.

No, but I'm asking you--
What if?

Has your hospital ever
practiced euthanasia, Doctor?

-No. We don't condone euthanasia.
-That wasn't my question.

Has any doctor in your hospital ever
upped the morphine drip...

with the knowledge that
it would likely accelerate,

if not cause,
the patient's death?

Well, there have been
occasions...

when suffering patients
have been given high doses.

Knowing that that dose
would cause them to die?

It's not hospital policy,
but I won't deny it's happened.

So, while your hospital
has helped patients to die,

you have ethical problems
helping them to sleep?

-Your patient isn't in pain.
-Have you met my patient?

There is a difference between
prescribing pain medication...

and supplying a drug to help achieve
an altered mental state...

simply because you find
dreamland a happier world.

My question was,
"Have you met Bria Tolson?"

And though you didn't answer it,
we all know by that response

that you haven't.

I never asked you
to go to Richard Fish.

So I could have been wrong.
Are you gonna milk that?

-Ling--
-You were bothered, Nelle. I could see it.

The strange little man
won't move on you.

You became unfun
and lousy company to me.

There's no reason
I should be a victim.

Nelle?

There must be
somebody to sue.

The reason I perhaps don't want
to escalate sexually...

is because I'm afraid of accelerating
the relationship towards extinction.

If we fondle, we make love.

If we make love, we might perhaps begin
a serious involvement,

at which point
we'd likely discover...

that we weren't ultimately right
for each other.

We'd perhaps part,
and I would miss you.

One more time?

[Sighs]

By not going down the road,
it remains the road ahead--

which excites me.

It even brings me joy.

Usually when I sit
and think about things,

I figure them out.

But your little brain teaser--

You're excited about going down a road
you refuse to go down?

Have you ever
been alone, Nelle?

-Of course.
-Truly alone?

Doesn't mean
"between relationships."

Loneliness is the feeling that there might
never be anybody, ever again.

Now, when's the last time
you truly felt that?

-Thirteen.
-Well, it doesn't count at 13.

Okay, here's a question for you.

What are you talking about?

The idea of going to the bar after work
with you--

To dance.

The idea of holding your hand
as we walk down the street.

Of just being with you.

-I cherish it. It's like a dream.
-And?

I'm just afraid it ultimately would be
revealed as a dream.

'Cause we don't
have common interests.

I'm a person
who hears bells...

and Barry White--
make-believe voices.

My inner world is bigger
than my outer one.

That's-That's
not true for you.

Don't you think we should discover
some of these things?

That kind of discovery
would split us,

and then I wouldn't be able to sit
in my chair each day...

daydreaming of the end of the day
where I get to...

hold your hand.

I think part of me figures,

"Well, if you just move slow enough,
you'll never get to the end."

John,

I'm going to try
this inner world thing once.

Okay.

-[Machinery Whirring]
-Are-Are you trying to hear bells?

Not exactly.

-[Whirring Continues]
-Are you seeing anything?

-I am.
-What do you see?

-I see the end.
-[Screams]

We're done.

-Richard] Can't say
that I blame her, John.

[Ally] Neither do I.

The thing you have to realize,
and I'm sure Ally will agree,

despite all the feigned
protests from women,

God really did put them on Earth as
objects of male sexual desire,

and when you withhold
that kind...

of primal reinforcement,
you shred their esteem.

You were sure
I'd agree with that?

Look, Nelle knows I'm physically
attracted to her.

Well, then what are you waiting for?
Marriage?

Couples don't have sex after marriage,
John. It's now or never, so--

That is ridiculous. Couples have sex
after marriage.

-Well, yes, but it's not enjoyable.
-And why is that?

Well, first of all--
and I'm sure you'll agree--

sex for men is
a little about conquest.

After marriage,
she's legally required.

If a husband tells a friend
he got lucky last night,

you can be sure he's
not talking about his wife.

How do these things just spew
out of your head like this?

Can you at least
use your brain as a filter?

-That remark would hurt if I had feelings.
-You do have feelings.

You both have feelings. And I think that's
why you're both--

You-You're both afraid.

You like to surf relationships, and you
only like to wade in with your toes.

-And you like to drown.
-Ally, you've been going into court,

arguing for your client's right to live in
her imaginary world.

-Why can't I live in mine?
-What's yours, John?

Keeping things with Nelle
trapped in the bud?

In a manner of speaking.

Women think they have
all the answers.

[Inhales, Murmurs]

I'm going to assume flowers as opposed
to childhood memory.

You know, the last priest I knew
got his own show on Fox.

-Maybe you could join him.
-It would be a pay cut.

Look.

You can't
underestimate that.

You know, people tell me all the time
that I should take Prozac.

Prozac?

My roommate says when
it comes out in jelly form,

she's going to smear
it on my crackers.

Knowing you the way I do, you were about
to make a point...

-when you got lost.
-Ah. Yes.

People are taking all kinds
of drug therapies these days.

And not that I'm a huge fan of happiness,
but if you're going to insist on it,

wouldn't dreams
be a more natural method?

And couldn't it also qualify
under the category...

of "mysterious ways"?

You're a good attorney,
aren't you?

Well, I just keep thinking
that if-if we both agree...

that there's a better world
waiting for us,

maybe some of it
is locked up in her dreams.

[Children Laughing,
Chattering]

-Easy, easy.
-I'm sorry to--

I-I-I just think that we have a
better chance with you in the room.

-Oh, I'll enjoy the outing.
-Back in two hours.

Okay, uh--I want you.

I don't know if
this is the time to--

In court! I want you in court in case the
judge has any medical questions.

-Oh. Okay.
-You're coming, right?

-Oh, well, I've already--
-I-I need you there.

-Ally, I don't really support your
position. -Yes, you do.

Do you really not like sex?

It's not that I don't like it,
I just think it's overrated.

-Overrated?
-A lot of women don't love it.

They just find
affirmation in sex.

It makes them feel good
about themselves.

-I already feel good without the mess.
-I like sex.

With you it's different.
You're emotionally inept.

You like sex because you can mistake it
for passion--

-Convince yourself you have a heart.
-What?

I don't like to repeat myself.
The steam hurts my larynx.

I'm emotionally inept?

-I meant it in a good way.
-You know what, Ling?

That was a hard "L."
I'm leaving.

-Sit.
-That hurt me.

I am not emotionally
inaccessible.

I-I am not a cold person.

Right. People call you "Subzero"
to be facetious.

Compared to you,
the Titanic struck heat.

My turn to tug. Let's be honest
with each other.

Neither of us wants a man to go spelunking
to our emotional core.

The echo would kill him.

I like Fish and you like Cage cause we
know they'll never get there.

They're fun. We laugh.
They pick up the check.

Oh, that's disgusting, Ling.

Oh, come on. John Cage?
He's a trinket.

You like him because he won't force you
to up your thermostat.

That's not true. And-And don't tell
me you don't like Fish. You do.

-Maybe a little, but--
-No, a lot.

You're just afraid you'll
get a wrinkle from smiling.

Sideless.

What about the depressed 20-year-old who
says she prefers sleep?

And what about the drugs
that induce great dreams?

They could be part
of our future.

One day a happy life could all come down
to a pill and a pillow.

-Let's deal with just this case.
-I am dealing with this case.

Patients shouldn't be going to hospitals
and asking doctors...

to help transport them to another mind
state where the world is prettier.

We have to look at the bigger picture,
Your Honor.

We're not asking you
to rule on the big picture.

We're asking you to look
at one single case.

Her.

She's alone, she's dying...

of an insidious disease
that will ultimately...

rob her life of any quality,
not to mention dignity.

And through some phenomenon, she has
another world available to her.

Nobody's stopping her
from sleeping.

But you're asking me
to force the hospital's hand.

[Ally]
Because she needs their help!

A-As this disease progresses,
because of pain...

or breathing problems, her sleep patterns
will be disrupted.

That-That's already happening a
little. She needs their help.

But like Mr. Woodson says,
the precedent is set.

Why do we get
so fixated on precedents?

Well, that's just kind of the way
our justice system works.

Were you buffing a nail
the day they taught that?

It's silly to apply precedent
when it comes to medicine.

How do you base decisions
on what happened yesterday,

when today's technology
is completely different?

[Scoffs]
All I'm hearing in this room is fear.

"Don't go there. We've never been there
before. It's dangerous."

Well, a couple of weeks ago,
Your Honor,

you said, "Let people
have their unicorns."

Well, why can't they
have their dreams?

What, exactly, do you do
in those dreams, Ms. Tolson?

Well, it's not
all fun, I admit.

[Chuckling]
Mornings are kind of crazy.

I have three children,

and by the time I get them all dressed
and off to school--

We're not wealthy--

make believe or not.

Sometimes--

Ms. Tolson?

Sometimes I have bad dreams
within the dream.

A recurring nightmare
that I-I'm really old,

and I'm dying of this terminal disease,
and I have no family.

Sometimes I--I think
this is the dream,

and the other
is the real world.

But this isn't
the dream, is it?

No.

I-I've been doing a little
medical research myself.

This is very dangerous.
Do you know that?

You risk infection,
complications.

Oh--

At this time in my life risk doesn't
frighten me, Your Honor.

My sources also tell me...

that there is nothing irreversible
about this induced sleep.

I'm going to grant the request, and let
them put her out for a week.

-We'll see how it goes.
-[Spectators Murmuring]

Your Honor--[Scoffs]
Are you crazy?

Maybe I am.

-Seven days.
-Oh--

Ms. Tolson,
I strongly advise you...

to go over all
the medical consequences...

with your doctors
before you do this.

Yes, Your Honor.

Other than that,
I wish you sweet dreams.

-We're adjourned.
-[Gavel Raps]

-[Georgia] What?
-They won.

-They're going to put her in a coma?
-For a week. Trial basis.

Richard,
what is with Whipper?

-Unicorns, comas--
-She still loves me.

[Growling]

Uh, l-like a friend. Uh--

[Barry White] ♪ We got it together,
didn't we ♪

♪ We've definitely got our thing together
Don't we ♪♪

-♪♪ [Fades, Ends]
-I've been a coward.

I'm willing to go for it at the risk of
being crushed like a small bug.

Moreover, I'm troubled
by being dumped.

Ling thinks
I'm attracted to you...

because you'll never find
my defrost button.

♪♪ [Humming]

I'd like to go
in search of it.

I think--

[Sighs]

That would be nice.

[Monitor Beeping]

So this doesn't have
to be good-bye, then?

No.

No, well, I'll--
I'll see you in a week.

I know the church
would frown on this, Robert,

but... will God forgive me?

-Well--
-She will.

Give my best
to your family, Bria.

-[Moans Softly]
-Okay?

She should start to doze off shortly.

-[Exhales]
-Oh, o-one last thing.

What's that?

-Ta-Take her to dinner.
-I don't eat.

She's out.

I'll check back later, Bria.

It was nice to meet you.

Oh, Father, um--
Thank you.

-I didn't do anything.
-Yeah. Thanks.

Well, uh, thanks
to you too, Greg.

Sorry you lost your case,
but, um,

keep me posted
on how she's doing, okay?

Yeah. Do you want to go to dinner?

Are you asking me out?

I'm trying to make Bria happy.
Isn't that your target?

She's already happy.

Look.
