Fate is for the lazy.
Too true, too true.
But I won't lie,
my only morning customer...
...was your only daughter.
Her?
What does she have to worry about?
She lives safely at home with us.
Her daughter's a doctor.
-What more could she want?
-Indeed.
But her health may be a bit bumpy
this year.
Ridiculous. She's only 48.
Could be menopause.
Menopause?
Nonsense.
about menopause.
The whole relationship is adolescent.
He tells me on the phone...
-...that he wants to break up.
-Again?
And that's not the worst of it.
I was assisting Morgan then...
...so it was over the speakerphone
for all the team to hear.
You know what the sickest thing was?
...was having the bed to myself,
catching up on sleep.
Game of survival, sleep trumps sex.
You know who I saw
yesterday at the Fulton clinic?
Your mom.
-My mom?
-I waved but she didn't see me.
You sure it was her?
You met her once.
Oh, she's pretty memorable.
No. She never leaves Flushing.
No change?
So...
...are you sick?
No.
I'm here visiting my father.
I'm sorry.
-Is he sick?
-You could say that.
He's-- He's sort of dead
to the world.
-Here.
-No.
-No, I'm-- I'm--
-Really. Really. Take it.
Is that what you're gonna eat?
Yeah.
How about this one?
It's packed with peanuts.
And a lot of other
satisfying carcinogens.
Sometimes your body
knows what you really want.
See you around.
Ma?
Thank God you're here!
I've been waiting for hours.
What are you doing here?
This is a crummy neighborhood.
Take this.
Oh, my God! Are you sick?
Do I look sick to you?
Pick up that bag.
Did Wai Po's heart give out?
Don't be ridiculous.
She'll outlive us all.
Are you crying?
Do I look like I'm crying?
I can't tell.
You're wearing those sunglasses.
Ma, what are you doing here?
You're just going to let me
freeze to death here?
Ma.
Ma!
Tell me what happened.
Ma!
All right. I'm calling Grandma.
Is that how you speak to your ma
who worked nights so you could eat?
Who stayed in labor
without painkillers...
...so you wouldn't turn dim-witted
like your cousin Jimmy?
Had I known
you would grow so ungrateful...
...I would have held you in.
Has she eaten?
What is she doing here?
She'll need better nutrition now.
She's not that old.
One night without Chinese food
isn't gonna kill her.
Wait, I can't hear. Ma.
Can you pipe down?
It's good for her to stay with you.
You're a doctor.
You can help her...
...maybe get free drugs
from the hospital.
Can you please...?
-Okay.
-You'll pick up her things tomorrow.
-I'll bring her back tomorrow.
