Accidental Love Page #2

fragments of a foreign language

that maybe she was exposed to as a child.

It's crazy, but it happens.

I've seen it once before.

Oh, my God. Remember Portuguese

Jimena, my babysitter?

I wanted her to be in the bridesmaid.

Yeah, yeah, Jimena...

- yeah, the babysitter.

- What are you doing?

Needs to be resized, right?

Well, are we still engaged?

- Let's just...

- We are, right?

Let's focus on fixing your head, right now.

And take it from there, OK?

This will give you good luck for now.

Did you just exchange her

engagement ring for a chicken foot?

OK, first of all, it's a hawk talon. It's

very meaningful to me. Alice knows that.

It's brought me great luck over

the years... 90% of the time.

How's my baby?

- Oh, Mom. Dad.

- Oh, baby.

Will you please pay for my surgery?

- Well, sure we will.

- Hawk talon's working already.

- How much is it?

- 150,000.

150,000?

We don't have that kind of money.

I thought I was on your health plan.

Oh, no, baby. That stopped

when you were 22, remember?

We gave you the choice to have

basic healthcare or a credit card

- that Daddy would pay up to 500 a year.

- Yeah. I remember.

At the time, I thought the

credit card sounded more fun,

but now I think insurance sounds like more fun.

That's the way it goes.

Bob, we could take out a second

mortgage on the house to pay for this.

- Yes.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, no, no. We already have a

second mortgage on the house.

Well, didn't somebody get engaged today?

- That's... that's on... hold.

- What?

- Yeah.

- Oh, no. Oh, no, no.

- You are still engaged.

- We're going to fix that.

We're going to fix that lickety-split.

We're going to fix it.

You're engaged. We'll have a fundraiser.

You look good.

- Hi, Alice.

- Welcome. Read about the brain surgery.

Hi, read about the brain surgery? How are you?

Read about the brain surgery?

- Here you go. Don't lose that.

- Hey you.

- Hey, Brenda, how are ya?

- You look good.

So do you. Read about the brain surgery?

There's yours.

Oh, that spongy feeling is hard to resist.

That's your brain, you know.

Yeah, that's my brain. So

please stop pushing on it.

- I am a doctor, remember?

- An animal doctor.

- Cows can't tell you when it hurts.

- They can tell me.

Alice, some other people with

uninsured injuries have shown up.

What? Why can't they get their own fundraisers?

No, I think they're here to support you.

It's like a solidarity thing.

- You remember Reverend Norm?

- Hi.

Sorry I haven't been to church in, like,

seven years. I've been pretty busy.

Well, maybe this crisis will bring you

back to God. As it brought Keyshawn.

My own crisis has driven me away. I'm

on a little sabbatical at the moment.
