and utter slob.

Like I already don't know that.

I know, but once

all my stuff is there...

- All right.

- So you'll move in.

- Yeah.

- That's great.

And you guys can have dinner

at our house.

Here we go.

Tap, tap, tap.

Hold closed and grind

side to side for me.

Perfect.

And let's get our front.

Tap, tap, tap.

One, two, three.

Hold it closed.

Grind side to side.

Perfect.

All right.

Mirror.

All right, Mrs. Elvsted,

let's just take a look

and see what we've got here.

Uh-huh.

Okay.

Okay, Mrs. Elvsted,

so be sure to floss.

We'll see you next time.

Who's next?

Um, no one today.

Mrs. Koppleson canceled.

Dad?

Yeah?

I was thinking, um...

I think we need some new blood.

We could advertise.

That's too expensive.

We have to...

we have to spend money

to make money, right?

I could call around.

I could... I could do

some research.

Who would you call?

I don't know.

Look at bus ads

or call some newspapers.

I'm not comfortable with that.

Okay.

You feel good.

- Yeah?

- Mm-hmm.

Oh, it's amazing.

Ah!

So, what are his...

what are your brother's symptoms?

Oh, um,

he's really uptight.

- Drink this.

- Thank you.

He's judgmental,

he's rigid and...

I don't want

a character assassination,

- I just want his symptoms.

- Oh.

He's, um...

he's really, uh, depleted.

His, like, energy is gone.

- He's all sucked in and wan and...

- Okay.

...he's not sleeping good.

I'll give him a liver tonic

and throw in

- something for gallbladder.

- Okay.

And have him come see me,

why don't you?

All right.

That's not gonna happen,

but all right.

He really should.

I can help him better if he's...

And what about you?

How are you doing?

You feel good,

so things are good.

What?

Jesse asked me

to move in with him.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah.

Last night in front

of my family at dinner.

- Wow.

- Yeah.

- Wow. No joke?

- What the F, right?

That's...

did you... are you... you're...

Yeah.

I mean, ugh, I don't know.

- Yes, good, good.

- I'm kind of flipping out about it.

Well, of course you are.

You wouldn't be you

if you didn't flip out about it.

It's great, it's fine.

It's normal, it's normal.

- Really?

- Yes.

I mean, he was supposed to be

my rebound, you know.

- Yeah.

- Just my get-back-in-the-game guy.

Yeah, and look what happened.

Isn't it awful?

- Something beautiful happened.

- Is it?

To actually have a...

- Is it? Yes.

- I don't know.

Is being tied down again

gonna be awesome

or is it gonna be

like a cage and like...

No. Honey, I keep telling you,

I've always told you,

that, yes, started sexually.

Mm-hmm.

And it's grown into

something beautiful.
