Higher!

Higher!

Muv.

Higher! Higher!

Muv.

Mr. Bloom.

Hey, Mr. Bloom,

I think he's wakin' up.

You're still

in the hospital, son.

You were in a coma

for five days.

Where is Muv?

She was just here.

Well, she couldn't make it, son.

Probably blacked out in a ditch.

- What did you say?

- Uh, she sends her love.

Welcome back, Billy.

You gave us all

quite a scare there.

How many fingers

am I holding up?

- One.

- Good.

Any blurred vision?

Headaches? Nausea?

All of the above.

Could I get some

lip gloss please?

When can I

take him home, doctor?

In a few days.

Your son has multiple abrasions

contusions, concussions

organ trauma and hemorrhaging

that we need to keep an eye on.

Well, I guess they

didn't like the dress.

Billy is quite

a fighter, Mr. Bloom.

The good news is

he is going to mend

with at least

a month of bed rest

and a little physical therapy.

You will feel quite dizzy

for a while

so just..

You take it easy, okay?

What happened?

Sir, do you mind if I tell him?

Of course not.

Uh, could you guys,

uh, give us a minute?

I'd... I'd like

to hear this, um, alone.

I'll give you

five minutes, okay?

And check his vitals and, uh..

Get the boy some lip gloss.

Hey.

Hi.

You know, you've got

a great dad.

He's been so worried

about you, Billy.

Me too, I've been here

just about everyday.

Most days, anyway, and..

I've been talking

to you non-stop.

Did you hear me?

No.

I even got you a..

Fashion magazine.

Ooh..

I'll just leave it here,

alright?

So, there were these guys

just texting sh*t about you.

And I... I didn't really

think much of it

'cause everyone's been

talking sh*t about you

since you got here.

They have?

Billy, come on.

When you didn't

show up to Bio lab

and, and

neither did... did

Tim and Sal

and those a**hole

sophomore jocks..

Uh, look, Billy, I tried.

Like I really, really tried...

Flip..

It's... it's... it's okay.

I am not mad.

I'm grateful.

You saved my life.

Really?

Really, really, really.

Alright, well,

I gotta go, alright?

Where are you going?

Football practice.

You're..

Oh, you're good, buddy.

Doc said you're gonna be

good as new, back to..

Think fast, Bloomy.

Think fast.

Doctor!

What happened?

- What happened?

- I... I don't know!

Thank you, Flip.

Okay, you're home now.

And I better get goin', so..

What? No, no, no, no, no.

Stay here, you just got here.

Yeah, well, I just,

I just figured, you know

you'd want some rest

or... or call,

call your friends.

- Or something.

- Relax.

You can't catch

multiple contusions.

Florence will make you

something to eat.

I... I... I just

wanna thank you

for everything that you've done.
