We should be having our pie and eating it.

We've earned that much, at least.

- Gentlemen, good evening.

- Good evening.

Welcome to what is essentially

the last rose ceremony.

Kaitlyn, this is the final rose tonight.

She can count, Einstein!

My heart is beating out

of my chest right now.

This week was... incredible.

Shawn's boring, and Nick's a man-whore.

Monogamy is an outdated concept.

I am in love and that's so exciting.

Ben. The only choice she's got.

She's not going to move

to a farm in those heels.

She's kissed them all. With her tongue.

Done the whole cast that way.

She's a walking venereal disease!

When I think about this

week, how everything went

has made my decision feel,

like, almost impossible.

Kaitlyn, close your mouth.

Nick.

- Oh, sh*t!

- God!

Turn it off. It's a travesty.

They never learn.

I'm going home and sort out my pills.

Tomorrow, gents.

That was a great meal tonight.

What you can do with

frozen fish is admirable.

Best garlic bread I ever had.

And that combination of

paprika and garlic, oh!

- Fantastic!

- Oh. Whoo!

Actually, I think it was the mold.

All right. Good night.

Joe.

What?

We'll be all right?

Sure, we will. It always

works out in the end.

And then you die.

Oh, thanks for the inspiration, Albert.

Good night, all. I'll see you tomorrow.

- Good night, Joe.

- Good night.

A**holes.

Hey, Willie. How you feeling?

Partly cloudy, Doc. Partly cloudy.

Well, I'm not going to lie to you.

You can. I won't mind.

The dialysis is working marginally.

You know, a kidney is all

that's going to get you well.

Well, I'll look on eBay.

You're way down the list.

It's partially your age,

it's partially your insurance.

It's partially...

Kidneys aren't that easy to come by.

Yeah. Everybody wants to hold on to theirs.

Have you talked to your daughter?

Your friends?

It's common to find a

donor in your circles.

And that's often the best match anyway.

I'll talk to them.

Sooner than later.

So, what are we talking about?

We're talking about much sooner than later.

Hello?

You get your presents, Boppa?

You send something?

Wait a minute,

the postman brought me this box right here,

but that can't be it.

That's it, that's it! Open it already!

All right, all right. Hold your horses.

I'm old.

Oh, my goodness.

This...

This is the ugliest shirt I've ever seen.

Boppa.

All right. Let's see what

else is down in here.

You're getting real big, K.

Grew an inch in a month, Boppa.

Hey, you tell your mom

that her career isn't as

important as seeing her family.

I Will.

- Promise?

- I promise.

Good girl.

- That's my ride.

- Okay.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Ezra!
