[Kissing Rebecca's arm] Um, radius, alman, lacronym...
[Laughs] It's like dating a French guy.
Oh? Bonjur. It's Latin. And by the way we are way past dating.
That's why I'm going wedding dress shopping with Kitty today.
Well I helped her find her dress, I figured we could be each others good luck charms in the dress department.
That's sweet. Mmm, can I tell you my fantasy?
No I won't be a slutty bride.
Well maybe, you can just buy a dress that shows your, humorous, your cronium and you're uh, cheek.
Don't know the medical term for that?
You know what, you are shattering a guys confidence on the first day of gross anatomy class.
Nothing happens on the first day, you just get your textbooks and sylabus.
Yeah, and apparently a lab partner.
Better not be a hot girl.
[Laughs] I just hope, it's not someone stupid, and doesn't know what he's doing.
Sounds like you're getting your confidence back. Now where were we, Doctor.
Mmm, Doctor. [Kisses her]
Oh, come on. You gotta get up. I've been trying to wake you up since 7:00.
Mm. I don't wanna get up.
All right. Then I'm coming in.
Oh, not now. I have a headache.
Can't you wait till we're married for you to bust that one out?
Some people get real headaches.
I don't know. Maybe I still have the flu.
You've been in bed for a week. Do you want to skip my mom's benefit tonight?
No. God, no.I need to get outta the house. I'm so bored.
Well, you wanna know what dr. Walker thinks?
Come on. I'm taking clinical diagnosis. Let me try. Let me try. All right. Uh... :[touches her forehead] No fever. Could it be ojai food poisoning? :[Rebecca snickers] Or idiopathic wedding-plan-itis?
Wedding-plan-itis?....Don't you have to get to school or something?
Oh, I do. I love you. All right. Look, if you don't feel better, call me, all right? Get up!
I'm fine. It was just flu leftovers. I just needed to get up and get going.
Okay, but what if it's not flu leftovers? I mean, Rebecca, have you ever had your thyroid checked? Because hypothyroid can...is that the one where you gain weight?
Are you saying that I gained weight?
No. No, no. I'm not saying you gained weight. What I'm trying to do is check every possibility. Like when you say you're tired after you slept okay, that could be epstein-barr. Or your undefined muscle pain, that could be fibromyalgia. Rebecca, that's what they say to...
Justin, I don't have cancer.
Becca, look, I didn't...I didn't say cancer. I know, but you were going to eventually. I...
I know that you're worried about kitty and I know that you're going to med school. But I just had the flu. I had the flu, And it knocked the wind out of me, And now I'm fine, okay?
Okay. All right, I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you.
Are you serious? Wh-why would you ask me that? That's crazy.
That's the first questions I should ask a woman in her 20s with those symptoms. I mean, you're tired, you're...you're queasy, You...you...you didn't eat the shrimp. you love shrimp.
No, look, it's fine. see? delicious.:[to waiter] Thanks. no big deal.What? it's fine. i'm not pregnant, justin.
So about last night, uh..
Uh, no, um, look...before you say anything, I want to apologize, all right? I, um, i have intern's disease.They start teaching you about these symptoms, And all of a sudden, i have everything,and...and you have everything, and now I'm a hypochondriac. Besides, I could not imagine having a baby right now. With work and school and planning a wedding and kitty being sick...no wonder why your head hurts. I'm sorry, okay? I love you. I gotta run to the library.
Okay. love you. :[Justin leaves, not noticing the positive test she's holding in her hand]
DDavid
I am so proud of you guys. Your mom is practically singing show tunes, She's so happy.
DDavid
What...what did Justin say?
Um, I'm not supposed to bother him when he's studying.
DDavid
What's going on, Bec?
DDavid
Oh, no, come on. You gotta talk to me. What's wrong?
I haven't told anybody yet.
DDavid
What about Justin?
Are you kidding me? I've tried. You know what? It's probably better that I haven't.
DDavid
What does that mean?
He's already told me he doesn't want a baby.
DDavid
Obviously that was before you knew you were pregnant. What do you want?
DDavid
Well, you have to figure that out.I will support you, whatever...whatever you decide. I'm gonna be there for you. But when you do...Then you have to talk to him.
[About officiating Justin and Rebbecca's wedding] I was going to to start off with a joke.
A joke. Like... I just flew in from Washington and, boy are my arms tired?
Well I was going to aim a little higher than that. But keep em coming.
I think you should start off with a metaphor.
Love... Is like the sun on a cloudy day. Even if you don't always see it you know that it's... there.
I think you should start off with a joke.
[laughs] See it's this. It's just sitting here together, in a waiting room. Both of us trying to pretend we're not scared, that's love. Not being able to concentrate on writing a speech about the beauty of love, because you're so scared you might lose it and nothing would ever be the same and realizing that the one place – the one place – that you feel most you, is when you are lying next to her, just breathing.
Justin, we better do this tomorrow..
I need to talk to Rebecca.
I know but she is really upset.
DDavid
You can't be here. Why don't you just leave her alone.
David, don't, that's not going to help anything.
I'm not gonna leave until I talk to her!
Just let him talk to her.
Because he is the father of our grandchild! He is going to be in her life forever, he is going to be in our lives forever.
[Comes out] Where were you?... Is that blood?
Yeah but uh it's not mine.
There was an accident, a kid on a bike got hit by a car and I went to the hospital. But he's gonna be ok.
DDavid
Why didn't you call?
Because in the chaos I left my phone in the car and by the time I got to a phone, Rebecca you weren't picking up. .
What are you saying? So this wasn't because you didn't want to get married?
No! I mean yeah. Rebecca, the truth is, I had huge doubts tonight. Not doubts about you, doubts about myself. About becoming a husband, about becoming a father. The ridiculous part is I'm completely capable of taking care of other people, I had no problems taking care of that kid tonight. It seems like the only person I can't take care of is myself. Rebecca, I know I can be a good husband to you and I know I can be a good father to our baby. I can't promise you I won't ever doubt myself again, but I will never doubt us. Give me a second chance, and marry me tomorrow.
[About getting a bone marrow transplant] What are the benefits?
ADr Abadon
If the transplant proves successful, you could be cancer free, but the risks are also higher.
Shouldn't she just try a different kind of chemo, and if that doesn't work then she could try the transplant. ?
ADr Abadon
She could, but if it proves unsuccessful again it'll lower her chances during the transplant and her immune system could fail, which would already be compromised by the chemo.
Mom, mom, cancer free, I have a little boy at home. I wanna live. You got to do everything. I mean, you got to take us to school and you got to watch us grow up and you got to see us get married. I wanna get to do all that.
You've always swung fences before, you've always pulled through. If this is what you want I'm with you 100%.
It's hard to believe we're all supposed to be in Hawaii.
Yeah, and now it's like the 10 plagues of Egypt. Hurricane, relocated wedding, collapsed maid of honor...
Don't forget about the knocked up bride.
This wedding is more cursed than Liza Minnelli.
That is the gayest thing to ever come out of your mouth.
(After the car crash, Kitty and Robert are in the car and Robert is seriously injured)
Okay, Robert. Everything's gonna be okay, honey, you're gonna be fine, okay, talk to me. Just talk to me, darling, it's okay.
When we brought Evan home from the hospital, I was scared that I wouldn't be able to keep up. But then I saw you holding him. So strong, so loving. And I knew that you would.
I knew that Robert. Robert, Robert, talk to me. Oh God, Robert. Stay with me. I'm right here. Robert. Oh my, oh my God. Oh my God, somebody. Somebody. Oh, Robert, Robert please. Please, Robert, stay with me. Robert, stay with- Robert, don't. Oh, God. Somebody, somebody, somebody, help, help. Robert. Robert.
(The camera pans out of the car)

Kitty! Kitty! Kitty!
[in a 1968 talk show, two scientists are interviewed about what could be the next form of viral outbreak in the future, and when one of them, Dr Newman, postulates that it could come from a fungus...]
NDr Newman
[notices audience murmuring] Yes, that’s the usual response. Fungi seem harmless enough. Many species know otherwise. Because there are some fungi who seek not to kill, but to control. Let me ask you, where do we get LSD from?
HHost
Where do you get it from? [audience laughs]
NNewman
It comes from ergot, a fungus. Psilocybin? Also a fungus. Viruses can make us ill, but fungi can alter our very minds. There’s a fungus that infects insects. Gets inside an ant, for example, travels through its circulatory system to the ant’s brain and then floods it with hallucinogens, thus bending the ant’s mind to its will. The fungus starts to direct the ant’s behavior, telling it where to go, what to do, like a puppeteer with a marionette. And it gets worse. The fungus needs food to live, so it begins to devour its host from within, replacing the ant’s flesh with its own, but it doesn’t let its victim die. No, it... it keeps its puppet alive by preventing decomposition. How? Where do we get penicillin from?
HHost
Fungus? [points at host]
HHost
Dr. Schoenheist, you’re in distress.
SSchoenheist
Fungal infection of this kind is real, but not in humans.
NNewman
True, fungi cannot survive if its host’s internal temperature is over 94 degrees. And currently, there are no reasons for fungi to evolve to be able to withstand higher temperatures. But what if that were to change? What if, for instance, the world were to get slightly warmer? Well, now there is reason to evolve. One gene mutates and an Ascomycota, uh, candida, ergot, cordyceps, aspergillus, any one of them could become capable of burrowing into our brains and taking control not of millions of us, but billions of us. Billions of puppets with poisoned minds permanently fixed on one unifying goal: to spread the infection to every last human alive by any means necessary. And there are no treatments for this. No preventatives, no cures. They don’t exist. It’s not even possible to make them.
HHost
So if that happens?
[Ellie just knifed a soldier in the knee, prompting everyone to spring up. The soldier points a gun at Joel, who is standing right in front of Ellie]
FSFEDRA Soldier
Get out of the fuckin' way!
Whoa! Whoa! [looks back at Ellie] We can fix this!
FSFEDRA Soldier
Move. Move.
[Joel remembers. The same scenario 20 years later, but with a different kid. The soldier prepares to fire...]
RRAAAHHHH!!!! [leaps at the soldier]
[Joel hammers away at the soldier. He continuously throws punches, letting out all of the rage from Sarah's death, whilst Ellie looks on in awe.]
