to know how people got sick,

just how to get them

feeling better.

That's catchy.

Yeah, so it looks like

there was some confusion with the

insurance company and the...

It's not an issue.

How much do I owe you?

$215, plus the $8 delivery fee.

- Mmm.

- But I'll waive that.

That is so nice of you.

Are you gonna get in

trouble with your boss?

I am my boss.

I mean, I'm the pharmacist.

You're Bishop.

Varney. I'm Douglas Varney.

No, everything says, "Bishop."

Well, is that gonna

be cash or cheque?

I'll get it.

Do you ever think about

calling it "Varney's"?

Hmm.

Nice doggie.

I had it done before the wedding.

What do you think?

- The portrait?

- Yeah.

- It's nice.

- Mmm.

Jack insisted on it.

They even made his

shoulders bigger.

- I'm sure he's a great guy.

- Oh, he certainly thinks so.

So I double checked the bill and

it seems to be correct, so'...

This is embarrassing, but it turns out

I only have about $20 cash on me,

and the only person in this household

who has a chequebook is my husband,

and he is still in

the city, of course.

Oh. Okay, well...

No! I know what you're thinking.

I live in this f***ing house,

I have a $70,000 Benz in the driveway

and I don't have enough cash to order

a pizza, so how would I not...

I know, that's what you mean.

I was gonna say, "Not a problem."

You can just come by the store and

pay the rest when you have it.

But I will have to take the

Benz as collateral, of course.

You're just one of those

authentically nice guys, aren't you?

Well, yeah. I guess so.

You're just honest and sweet.

Most girls don't always

go for honest and sweet.

Girls don't, but women do.

Okay, I'm just gonna get going and

you go... You can come by the store.

And you know where the store is?

Yeah, 'cause it's...

Address on there, so good

night and thank you.

Hi.

Sorry I'm so late.

The deliveries were all out of order

and I didn't know all the addresses.

- Noah didn't even put them in the ledger.

- Ethan's school called today.

Oh, okay. What's the problem?

Principal hyphenated-name, she

wouldn't say over the phone.

She says that we need to come

in ASAP for a conference.

Ooh!

Yeah, he painted his windows black.

Why are you acting so surprised?

Please just go upstairs

and talk to him.

Hey!

Hey.

So how was school today?

So you think you might want to come

out with us for a ride this weekend?

- Yeah, I don't think so.

- Come on.

Open road, sunshine on your

face, the wind in your hair.

It'll be fun.

So you'll think about it?

Doug wanted to open the door and

talk to Ethan, but what could he say?

I mean, I know a thing

or two about working out.

And there's absolutely nothing fun
