EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME
UCLA Medical Center, California
- Dr. Slamon?
- Hello
It's Jamie McGraw.
Work city sent me.
Oh. My student assistant. Right. Right.
I'm right up here on the left.
- Okay.
- Come on in.
- What are you? Biology, Chem?
- No. English Literature.
- You're not a science major?
- No.
- Um no offense euh...
- Jamie.
Jamie. Right. But I'm doing
scientific research here
and I kind of need an assistant
who understands what I do.
Well, this wasn't my first choice either.
And no science majors wanted this job.
- What? None?
- No.
Well tell me you at least
read science fiction.
Dr. Slamon's office,
I mean lab.
Jamie. Oh nice to meet you too,
Mrs. Slamon. Hold on.
- Here.
- Hi
No, I didn't forget. 6:30 at the latest
right? Okay. Me too. Bye bye.
Could you hand me that
splicer over there, please?
No no, to the left. To the left.
Left left left.
- Right there. Thank you very much.
- Well, thanks anyway.
You know what?
I don't really need a science major
I just need someone to handle my calls,
do the paperwork
Whatever it takes so I can concentrate
on my patients and HER-2.
HER-2?
Yeah it's growth gene I'm using to try and
create a drug to treat breast cancer.
- Oh, like chemo?
- No. No no no. It's nothing like chemo.
You see, chemotherapy works on the principle
and almost the patient, with poison and just
hoping the new cells grow back cancer-free.
That doesn't make sense to me.
What I'm trying to do is something
that's never been done before.
Take a sort of super protein from the body,
and target the bad cells and turn them off
like a lightswitch.
Um, it won't cure the cancer, but it'll
shut it off, which is almost as good.
- That sounds really...
- Crazy. Right, I know.
Everyone says that, but it's not. If, if
we can learn how to shut the bad cells off,
That will lead us to a cure.
And just so you know,
I'm not gonna remember your birthday
or National Assistants' Day.
Not because I don't try or because
I don't want to... Hold this, please.
I just won't.
And I'm gonna constantly be after you
to stay late and come early,
even if I can't pay you on time.
You aren't trying to talk me
into this job, right?
Yes, but I want to be clear.
200,000 women a year
are diagnosed with breast cancer.
Getting HER-2 to work
could save a lot of those lives.
200,000 a year?
Gramsy's here!
- Good morning, Samuel.
- You're going to sleep in my room.
Oh well, It's a very small bed
for two people.
I'm going to sleep with my mom.
- Hi mom. Thank you so much for coming.
- Of course, dear.
Although why Charlie chose to go on
the road this particular week?
Why you wouldn't come stay with me
at my house remains a mystery.
You do still have a room there, you know?
I wanna be home. So does Sam.
Could we not go over this again?
It would be less stressful for all of us,
You, especially, to be in a house
that has adequate space and amenities
like air conditioning.
This will be fine.
I'll just put my things away.
And you, young man, you should do
the same with that bicycle of yours.
Why does she have to be here?
Because she is my mother
and your grandmother.
And next to you and daddy,
she's all I've got.
Oh Kate, I love it
Did you put that up there?
It's official.
Your own shop on Melrose Avenue.
I can't believe it. I'm a real designer.
You've been a designer. The only difference is
that now you're a designer with overhead.
Chartreuse, what was I thinking?
- Kate, if nobody buys anything...
- That's not gonna happen.
