What do you say, Captain? Shall we show these kids a thing or two?
I would be honored.
One day I got tapped on the shoulder
and gently reminded that life is unbelievably fragile.
Coronavirus.
I thought I was dead.
You're pregnant?
And you think it happened when the three of us...
So you don't know which one of us...
I wanted to tell you, I am all in for you.
Why don't we get out of this cheap gin joint, and go get a room?
I thought you'd never ask.
Oh. Pair of aces.
Looks like Lady Luck has a soft spot for a man with a limp.
- Oh. - Ooh.
Late, Maxy. Convenient timing.
Well, please allow me to sweeten the pot.
What is the one thing we never gamble with here on The Odyssey?
- Real money? - No.
Health and safety. The latest COVID boosters have arrived.
Who's first?
Hmm?
Okay, I'll go first.
I just got out the hospital. I'm not supposed to be taking anything.
Right.
Max, I don't think I need another booster. I've-I've had COVID 4 times.
I'm basically a walking antibody at this point.
Yeah, every time I get a booster, I'm out for days.
I can't afford it.
Well, some mutations have fewer complications,
but... ...give it to me. I'll take it.
I should be protected, obviously because...
I'm a nurse.
- Yes. Thank you, nurse. - Mmm.
Let's just have a basic biology lesson, shall we?
Viruses mutate in every direction,
and in the event that this strain turns out to be something particularly nasty,
where do you think it's gonna pop up first?
Yes, right here,
because we live on what amounts to basically a floating petri dish.
Need I remind you about the beginning of the pandemic,
thousands of people quarantined on a cruise ship,
some of whom actually died?
Hmm? Ring a bell?
If you two wake up tomorrow morning and suddenly decide to be responsible citizens,
you know where to find me. I am so incredibly disappointed in all three of you.
You two are in my good books.
Lord.
Dad's mad, fun's over.
Let's call it. Big day tomorrow.
What in the world is that?
Last gasp of a dying era.
It's a sculptural tradition here on The Odyssey .
My God. Cougars Week. Right.
-Or as we now lovingly refer to it as-- -Uh, Sophisticated Ladies Week.
It's ridiculous. Cougar is a term of respect.
Cougars are elegant, powerful creatures.
You are very passionate about this cruise.
Mm-hmm.
-Guess that tracks with your-- -Mommy issues.
You were about to say mommy issues, Doc.
I was about to say modus operandi, but, yes, the subtext was mommy issues.
Don't judge things you don't understand, Doc.
Men in their 20s and women in their 50s are deeply sexually compatible.
There's something innately natural about the whole thing. The yin and the yang.
Ah, in years past, I would have pulled two, three "coogs" a cruise, but...
Well, not this year.
Everything's changed.
It's not fatherly behavior.
Fatherhood and paternity are not the same thing, Tristan.
And not everything in life is a dance-off.
Yeah.
Oh, speaking of dancing, the "coogs" love a whirl and a twirl.
So get ready.
You're fresh meat, baby.
Wow. Oh.
This place.
It's incredible.
Well, we're due for a big celebration.
You're due.
One year cancer-free.
Surprise.
Happy to see me?
Yeah. Wow.
Happy and thrilled and shocked.
The sea, the sun.
I miss them.
And?
Well,
perhaps also a certain sailor
I haven't seen since the last sexy port tryst.
I think we'd better leave the public area here.
How are you enjoying your time here on The Odyssey?
This is my first cruise. I won it in a charity auction.
But I think this concept of cougars running loose on a ship is fascinating.
And hilarious.
We do not use the word cougars anymore,
but younger men and older women, I think, is the concept you're trying to describe.
I like millennials. I'm just not here for romance.
I'm here for laughs and dry martinis and yoga.
Don't look so relieved.
I should be so lucky, but I don't want to give you the wrong idea.
I am spoken for.
And the concept of this cruise is rather fraught.
What isn't these days?
Wow, you know how to dance.
Did you pick that up at a charity auction too?
Well, you stay around long enough, you pick up some moves, you know?
- You okay? Allergies. Nothing.
Come on. Let's keep dancing. Maybe they'll play some Tina Turner.
How are you feeling?
Ugh. We have to break you of the habit of asking me that, Sam.
Sorry.
It's just three years fighting hand-to-hand combat.
But you can't live in a permanent state of caregiver's PTSD trauma.
Think of this trip as letting go of all the caregiving,
dreaming about your own future rather than mine, okay?
Okay.
- Shall we dance? - I would love to.
She does that all the time.
All the time.
The usual for me, Bruce,
and as I recall, it's a gin martini with bitters and a twist.
Actually, now it's soda water with lime.
I'm losing my taste for the hard stuff suddenly.
Soda lime and a Captain Manhattan coming up.
You good, kid?
I don't know. Maybe a menopausal shift or something like that.
No way. Menopausal shift?
I couldn't prove that by what went on in my quarters about an hour ago.
You were fire, as the kids say.
Life is strange, Captain. You know, there's passion, there's lust.
And boom, there's a woman's ticking clock.
-All I see is inner and outer beauty. -Hmm.
You slipped away, to finish your novel?
Follow-ups.
You should do yours too. You're three weeks behind.
It's just all very boring, isn't it? Emailing with doctors.
Grown-up talk.
Do you need something?
Well, I just, I... I thought that you and I were due a...
a casual impromptu check-in.
That's funny
because it feels like a not-so-casual rehearsed speech.
I've been trying to give you space.
-But we haven't-- -Tristan.
What is it?
I feel like you've made a decision.
Haven't you? To-to keep the baby, and you told Max.
I don't even know whose baby this is,
and I won't know for at least another couple of weeks.
Yet, it feels like you've made some sort of choice already.
Tristan, are you honestly ready to be a father?
Yes.
I want this more than anything.
Because it's not just six months.
It's not even just 18 years.
It is being responsible for another human being for the rest of your life.
And-and I... I am still grappling with it.
And that's understandable.
It is, but if part of your grappling is you thinking that I'm not mature enough,
well, then I can...
I will change.
For good.
For us.
I'll prove you wrong.
You'll see.
Last one.
You're done.
I don't have it. I had it once for about a day.
I missed some tennis and then boop, it was gone.
You know, I'm still trying to figure you out.
You're sure you're not here for some hot cougar action?
Why do you ask? Are you attracted to me?
No, no, no, no, this cruise is like, uh... people-watching for me.
I don't feel my age and I-I like to feel sexy,
but I don't think I have to have a little fling to feel sexy.
Uh.
Sorry. Um. It is COVID.
Not to worry though. It's nothing we can't handle.
Well, at least I have a nice little Hermès mask
tucked away somewhere in my suitcase.
I'm gonna have to quarantine you in your cabin until you test negative,
but in order to further that along,
I'm gonna put you on some Paxlovid right away.
You're gonna start with the large bottle.
Dosages are on the back.
If you're talking about locking me in a room, that's not gonna happen.
Olivia, this is not advice.
Max, maybe you didn't hear me.
I am following my own rule book these days.
Your own rule book? Well, this is Odyssey policy,
CDC policy, and my policy, which means that it's God's writ on this boat.
I will maintain my mask in all public places.
I'm just not a woman who can be told what to do.
Duly noted.
But this is not the forum to express your admirable independence.
Max, I like you.
I really do, and I respect you, which is rare.
I can see what a kind, smart, dedicated man you are.
But if you want to lock me up, you better call out the troops, General,
because you're gonna need 'em.
She is a charming, funny, and, Lord knows, feisty woman,
but she's also positive, so we have to put her into a quarantine cabin.
It's Odyssey policy, my policy, and frankly it is the correct protocol.
So you forcibly lock her up.
What if she sues?
Way better than if the rest of the passengers sue
because they got COVID because of her and our irresponsibility
and an unnecessary degree of pearl-clutching.
I do not clutch my pearls, young man.
I'm asking you to handle this situation tactfully and graciously.
Max, I know your history.
I know you have zero tolerance for anti-vaxxers and COVID deniers.
I get it. I understand.
Sir, yes, I had the virus,
and, yes, I watched the bodies pile up in the freezer trucks,
and it's a miracle I'm not one of them,
which is why I'm not willing to turn the other cheek
just because some very charming woman wants to...
Tact and graciousness. The Odyssey way.
This is heaven, right?
Max, listen to me.
You're not some big city hospital ER doc now.
You're kid gloves, soothing concierge assurances, charm and gloss.
Cary Grant...
with a stethoscope.
I understand the assignment.
-I'll take care of it. -Excellent. Dismissed.
Well,
you wanted to see the best view on The Odyssey.
This is it.
I'm looking at it.
Oh, you.
You all right? Something wrong?
Not wrong.
Just really, really unexpected.
Remember when I was feeling a bit off?
Yeah, y-you mentioned a... a menopausal shift or something crazy.
Yeah, I mean, menopause is a funny thing.
You know, you can go for six months without a period,
and then you meet a handsome captain for a romantic getaway weekend,
and before you know it, it comes back.
Forget the details. It's just...
You know, women my age can still...
What? Heather, tell me.
I'm pregnant.
And you're definitely the father.
Congratulations, we're having a baby.
Ah! The thugs. Welcome.
I've been expecting you.
That is quite the outfit, Olivia.
If you want to make an example out of me, let's give 'em a little show.
Miss Grace, I think you'll find that our designated care cabins
are ideal for recovery.
Goody goody gumdrops. Well, shall we?
Someone will have to carry my train.
-Hey, handsome. -Hey.
Okay, so I say we eat as much as we can,
and then we eat some more, and then we spend the rest of the day in the spa.
Oh. Hot stone, argan oil massages.
Why not?
Oh, my God. You certainly have a type.
I-I wasn't... No, no, she was looking at me.
I would never have brought you on a cougar cruise if I was the jealous type.
How about this?
I'm gonna get a massage,
and you explore the ship and find everything fun there is to do,
and forget about me for the next several hours.
That's your mission.
Should you choose to accept it.
Mm-hmm.
Enjoy the scenery.
Okay, I have conferenced with your oncologist back home
about the med mix he sent with you,
and we are good to continue your regular treatments...
- Thank you. - ...manage the pain,
and keep you feeling fine. And, uh, Delia,
I'm so sorry about your diagnosis, truly.
Metastasized to my brain. Can you believe it?
Cancer just can't seem to get enough of me.
-How flattering. -Yeah.
Well, nothing is stopping you from living your life, and I love that.
Let's see.
A daily dosage of gabapentin, metoclopramide,
dexamethasone, celecoxib and a vitamin C drip.
I know the routine, but thank you, hon.
Of course you do.
If you need anything, I'll be right here, okay?
Okay.
Oh. Uh, it says here that you're traveling
with your partner. Would you like him here with you?
No. Heavens no. Uh, he thinks I'm getting a massage.
Oh.
He doesn't know.
- No. - Right.
And what about treatment? Uh, radiation knife?
Past all that hell.
I am trying the celecoxib thing as a last resort,
but am I hopeful?
Not really.
I just wanted us to have this perfect memory here so I could say goodbye.
Hmm.
I refuse to let him be my caretaker again.
It just makes me feel like I'm stealing his life.
Okay. So, do you really have to take a blood test?
I thought those over-the- counter pregnancy tests were, like, 9999999% accurate.
They are quite accurate.
Just wanna make sure there's nothing else going on.
I got nauseous the same way when I was pregnant
with my daughter eight million years ago.
Little poke.
This will measure your HCG levels, which will tell us how far along you are
if you are in fact pregnant.
-If? -You mean two lines on the stick
could mean something else?
There are incidents where a false positive pregnancy test result can occur.
Uh, hormonal imbalances, certain ovarian tumors,
even UTIs can sometimes elevate HCG levels.
All of these are very rare and often benign.
Good.
Captain, you must have duties you're neglecting.
Maybe give us girls a minute, would you?
Oh, yeah, I can do that if it's an order.
It is.
I was a psychotherapist for 22 years.
And I know when someone's masking anxiety.
Is this about me?
No, no, not at all. It's just, um...
I understand.
I know how uncertain and confusing this can all feel.
I...
I know.
Oh, hon. Come here.
You're gonna be okay.
We're gonna be okay.
It wasn't planned, and I'm still trying to figure out what to do, how to feel.
Most days I'm strong,
but, uh, today, not so much.
I'll have your prelims for you by the end of the day.
All right.
In, in. Come in.
An olive branch.
They're very cozy.
Bribery won't work. I've already contacted my lawyers.
How quickly can you say case dismissed?
Well, they seem to think it's an open-and-shut case.
I open my mouth and you get shut down.
Olivia, as fun as it is to have an archnemesis, I am not yours.
No matter how difficult you make this,
I'm still going to give you the gold standard of treatment.
Gold standard? Treating me like a prisoner of war? Please.
I have a contagious patient
on a ship filled with several hundred other souls,
some of whom are immunocompromised.
I have got to take precautions, and you understand that.
None of this brings me joy, but it is the right thing to do,
-and I know you get that. -Of course. I get it.
But do you get what it's like for me?
I mean, I... I've been in handcuffs for 40 years in a controlling marriage,
and I'm finally free.
And then some men come to my door and yank that freedom away from me
without so much as a "how do you do?"
Things fall apart, the center cannot hold.
Unless we all care about this.
And I cannot for the life of me fathom why one person's freedom
should come at the expense of everybody else's health and safety, can you?
No. It shouldn't, and I know that. But...
why couldn't you have just asked me? Hmm?
Like, "Hey, Olivia, I know this sucks and it's really a bummer,
but couldn't you please..."
Etcetera, etcetera.
You're right.
Forgive me. This is a difficult subject for me.
I could have handled this better, and I apologize.
It's a bit of a fight-or-flight thing for me.
May I?
They are cozy.
Oh, dear. What's that?
Uh, I tested myself yesterday after you left. I'm negative.
Yeah, well,
yesterday was yesterday.
This cannot be happening.
Your blood test results show creatinine levels are normal,
BUN, GFR, electrolytes, normal.
So whatever's spiking your HCG levels isn't kidney-related.
Germ cell tumor in the ovaries could be another explanation,
but your lactate dehydrogenase levels are good.
So no tumor, no kidney issues.
Is this something you look into just because I'm a woman
with more life experience?
First of all, I'm stealing that.
Second, these issues can happen to women at any age.
And you, Heather, are a picture of perfect health.
So what is it then? What do I have?
I'd say,
a viable pregnancy.
How do you feel?
I'll get back to you on that.
What are your symptoms, Delia? It's a bit of a rash here, I see.
Yeah, a little rash, stomach pain, yada yada.
I need an antihistamine because I'm allergic to soy.
We were doing that cooking thing, and I got a little careless.
But thank you anyway, Tristan.
-You're really a sweet guy. -Wait, do you guys know each other?
Oh. Uh.
I was down here earlier for TUMS.
Baby, get me some water. Please?
Yeah, it's, uh, it's right through there.
Don't. Please don't tell him.
I can't legally tell him anything that you don't want me to, but...
my experience
is that these conversations go much better when they happen earlier.
And you know your body, Delia.
These symptoms do align with an allergic reaction to soy,
so I'm gonna give you 50 mg of diphenhydramine,
and we're gonna keep a keen eye on you.
-Okay. -It's okay.
Yeah?
Hi. I was just wondering if you wanted to play cards or something.
Protocol dictates we should both be in isolation.
Why are you wearing that PPE face guard thingy?
We both have it.
Protocol.
Duty calls.
Start again.
She's convinced that it's an allergic reaction to something she ate,
but my gut is telling me it's something else.
This started with a rash, with stomach pains. Now she's having trouble breathing.
Diphenhydramine hasn't been effective.
All right, she's on a palliative care cocktail.
Maybe the reaction could be to something in there.
No, she's been on that cocktail for a while.
A reaction would have shown up sooner.
Max, she has cancer.
I mean, is this terminal progression?
Um... Measured approach. Let's go with the facts.
What's in the cocktail?
Gabapentin, dexamethasone, metoclopramide, nutrients...
...low-impact quality-of-life stuff,
-celecoxib. -Celecoxib?
That can have adverse reactions, and they can be delayed onset,
two weeks to a month. Symptoms would be...
Rash, trouble breathing, and stomach pains. Right, okay.
So if she's been on steroids, I should start her on an albuterol treatment.
Attaboy.
I'd also give her a platelet transfusion just for good measure.
On it.
Yes?
Delia, I believe you are having an allergic reaction,
just not to what we initially thought.
It's not a food allergy.
To what then?
Okay, I can counsel you in private, or both of you,
but right now I need to get you started on a platelet transfusion.
-Do I have your permission? -Yes.
- Thank you. - And...
you can tell him.
Uh, we think that it's an allergic reaction to the new medicine celecoxib
that was added to your treatment plan.
It can take several weeks for the adverse effects to start presenting.
I thought you came down here for TUMS.
Celecoxib, but what the hell is that?
- Well, it's a, um-- - It's a drug
that blocks enzymes for cell growth.
In my case, cancer cells.
Sam, it's back.
And the drug was a Hail Mary.
Okay. Well, we need to get you back on to radiation now.
-Look, Sam, no. No. -I'm gonna call Dr. Scanlan--
I have four months maybe,
so please let me enjoy them.
What are you doing? What are you doing?
Are you gonna sacrifice your life for waterslides and buffets?
I'm sacrificing my life for life, and it's hardly sacrificing.
It's pragmatism. It is what it is.
Oh, that's great. That's great. It is what it is.
And-and wh-what is it, huh?
What's the point of this whole cruise? So I could find somebody, right?
So you don't have to feel so guilty.
You can't be mad at me.
No, I am mad at you.
I hate this. I hate that I love you.
You know, I get a choice. I do.
I asked you earlier what I could say to make him walk away,
and I think we figured that one out.
Look, it may be none of my business, but may I offer you an observation?
Yeah. Go for it. Anything.
You'd both be fools for not cherishing every moment that you have together.
Whoo! Hey. Hi.
Want a nice hot toddy?
Respectfully, will you turn down the music, please?
I am trying to rest in here and you probably should be too.
I'm simply trying to keep myself entertained.
Here.
How about some Texas Hold'em?
-No way. -Wait, wait, wait.
Come on.
You can wear your hazmat stuff if you want to.
Come on, Dr. Odyssey. Improve your bedside manner.
Come on. One hand. Humor me.
If I win,
I get to control the music for the rest of the time we're in quarantine.
I've taken down bigger fish than you, Dr. Odyssey.
Lady, I put myself through school doing this.
If I win, quiet for the rest of the night.
No more music, no more tap-tap tapping on the divider door, just shh.
And if I win,
we take a walk tonight up on the deck. It's late.
No one else will be there.
Agreed. Two pairs, tens and fours.
Oh.
Full house. Oh, baby, let's wrap it up.
You cheated.
You're outta your league here, Doc.
Grab some shoes. Let's go.
You are so cute.
You bring along bleach wipes to scour any place we might possibly touch.
-Hmm. -You're a good doc, Max.
The best really.
Why don't we grab a couple of chairs
and just lie here and look up at the stars?
What do you say?
You know...
I admire the hell out of you, Liv.
Really?
Why?
Because I'm 83 and still fighting?
-And annoying you? -Oh, yes.
And I haven't folded up my tent and moved into a nursing home,
which, by the way, will never happen.
I think you and my mother would have really enjoyed each other.
Did you lose her?
Right at the beginning of COVID.
I was in the hospital.
Just before I slipped into a coma, she died.
-COVID too? -No, stroke.
I tried for months to get her on a statin.
I thought she was taking it, but she wasn't.
God, Max, that's so terrible. I'm... I'm so sorry.
She was fiery... ...like you.
Just always taking care of everybody.
She was just giving and giving.
Not taking care of herself.
In this job, I'm supposed to be in control at all times, hands on the wheel,
steady in a crisis.
But things like this happen,
getting COVID, my mother dying...
Then it's just, the illusion of control goes out the window.
And that terrifies me.
And usually when I'm terrified, I run.
Honey,
you're just having PTSD.
I'm gonna be a father, Liv.
I'm gonna be a father and it terrifies me, but not because I'm gonna run.
It terrifies me because I wanna stay.
Oh, honey, I know, I know, I know.
Something's wrong.
What's going on?
I... I can't... I can't catch my breath.
I need to get you to the infirmary right now.
Liv, just try to breathe normally. You're doing great.
- Just try to breathe normally if you can.
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome.
She's got COVID antibodies in her blood work...
So her current infection was actually a reinfection?
- Correct. - BP is dropping. 93 over 54.
Fluids are going. Let's get her on corticosteroids for a severe inflammation.
Aves.
I'll go.
-What are you hearing? -No fluid in her lungs yet.
Heart is tachy. Can you get her in for an ultrasound?
Also check for myocarditis and the inflammation levels
in her abdominal organs.
I have so much to do, please.
-Liv. Liv. -Don't let me go.
You are way too peppery to leave the mortal plane.
- You're in good hands, I promise.
Just keep breathing.
Keep breathing. That's it.
Well, her vitals are stabilizing,
but the tests do show that she has mild myocarditis.
She's still in critical condition.
Now we just need to give her time.
IVIG and the steroids are starting to work.
Let's get a repeat echo, run a blood panel.
And we-we gotta push IV fluids around the clock.
Okay.
Max, you did everything you could.
Now it's up to her.
Come on, Olivia.
You're not gonna quit on me now, are you?
Bobby, I'm... I admit I'm a little worried.
I mean, having a baby at our age...
I mean, so many things could go wrong.
I've thought of that too. We've got... You have time
to think about this and figure out what you wanna do and if you want to do it.
I'm going to be there with you. We're going to do this together.
Are you okay?
Oh!
Oh.
Do you think I miscarried? Is there still a chance it's okay?
Right now, my main concern is making sure you are okay.
Spotting can happen for many reasons.
This ultrasound will help me rule out more serious complications.
It's gonna be okay.
All right. You're going to feel a little bit of pressure.
There it is.
Well, how'd it go? Is she okay?
She's stable, comfortable, resting,
but I do wanna get her to a hospital when we make port.
Is there a problem?
I mean, she's gonna be okay?
She didn't miscarry.
Everything looks good, healthy.
Well, you could've opened with that.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
But I wanna get her to a hospital as a precaution.
The spotting was likely due to cervical irritation,
which is not uncommon in early pregnancy.
Avery.
You know, you think you know where your life is,
and you've got a nice clear picture of it.
And I've come to know that we're all walking around absolutely 100% clueless.
I'm aware, believe me.
Congratulations, sir.
Thank you.
You know, being a father was my favorite part in the whole world.
Even better than my first naval command.
But I wasn't there enough.
I have a lot of regrets.
I just didn't think I'd ever get this opportunity again.
This stays between us, right?
No, HIPAA rules. Don't worry.
No, no, no. Not that.
This. Me blubbering like a baby seal.
-Really happy for you, Captain. -Thanks.
Well, they owe me some days off.
Now... Well, no, actually they owe me a lot of days off.
Yeah, but 18 years' worth?
Something like that.
We'll be the oldest parents at the piano recital.
Piano? I already bought the kid a drum kit, five-piece with a high hat.
This is crazy, right?
Is this even happening? Is it possible?
Well, apparently, anything is possible.
We got a lot to talk about.
Yes.
You know I had a secret crush on you for years?
The first time that we went out...
- Oh. - ...it--
Pink Martini, Café Carlyle. And nobody else wanted my extra ticket.
- I did. I... I love Pink Martini. - Yes.
Do you remember after the show, you walked with me down into the subway?
-You missed your train. -Yeah.
It was a nightmare.
It was 115 degrees and it smelled awful.
Like-like very expensive French cheese.
Oh, God!
And you insisted on waiting with me till my train came.
And it was on that very cheesy subway platform that
my work crush, kind of, metamorphosed into love.
With you, D. And that feeling, that-that's never changed.
Not in six years.
You can take out a restraining order
if you really don't want me around, but it's not gonna matter
because I'm gonna wait with you...
until you're on your train...
and the doors close, and, uh...
you're on your way.
I'm gonna wait with you.
I always wanted to see Venice.
-Mmm? -Mm-hmm.
Well, good.
-And... -Okay.
...let's not waste whatever time we have left.
If I test positive, do I get to go around again, one more ride on the Wonder Wheel?
Wouldn't that be a treat?
Alas, you are negative. Just like me.
I'm gonna go see my doctor anyway when I get back.
I'm gonna need to sleep for a few days after this very relaxing little cruise.
Good God, is it always like this?
I owe you a thank-you, Max.
For saving your life?
I was gonna say for these, but yeah, sure, for that too.
I think that I owe you a little "thanks."
For what?
I've been a royal pain in the ass, cover to cover.
Believe me.
I tried to do it.
I owe you a "thanks" for listening and for being a friend.
Till the end.
And you, my dear, are gonna be a wonderful father.
Oh, thank you.
What was that line you used earlier?
Oof. So many solid gold quips, at least one an hour.
I think you're referring to,
"You'd both be fools for not cherishing every moment you have together."
It's a good one.
I get all my bedside manner from old movies.
That and being English. I just sort of, um... Well, I dial up the poshness.
Huh. I've noticed that.
- Have you? - Yes.
I've also noticed that you finished your follow-ups. Thank you.
Well, I'm good at doing my homework.
Sometimes.
See?
Maturing already. Right before your eyes.
