- You need some help?

- Oh, Daddy.

- What are you doing here?

- What are you doing there?

You know, you have your mother's nose,

and not much else.

Well, that's what happens

when you give me seed packets

instead of selling my damn house.

Are you sure they're gonna grow

just covered up like that?

You are standing on property

nobody wants.

Or so says Judy, with the bad haircut.

No luck I take it.

Well...

The reason I came over was I thought

maybe we'd go have a bite to eat.

Go to the movies?

- Well, you could've called.

- Well, I did, I tried.

Maybe tomorrow.

How's my favorite sister?

Hey, Miranda!

Nancy, my shift is over.

I know, I know, but...

I need you, it's...

It's an emergency.

Miranda! Come on!

It's only gonna take a second

and it's very important.

We just wanted to give you a little something

before you make your transfer.

We're gonna miss you so much!

Surprise!

- Who wrapped that?

- I did. It's just something I do.

- You made this bow? It's beautiful!

- Super pretty.

Thank you, guys. Thanks.

- Yay!

- Ta-da!

See, now you can just practice

at home. Isn't it great?

Fantastic.

A**hole!

- Miranda.

- Oh, Mrs. Brown.

- Can I speak with you?

- Oh, sure.

- You missed your orientation.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

Sorry doesn't cut it in surgery, Miranda.

Lives are on the line.

- I know.

- Is something wrong?

- No.

- You seem distracted.

Which is not a good thing

in this business.

Actually I'm reconsidering my transfer.

After that last performance

we've already reconsidered it for you.

- Oh, well...

- I'm disappointed, Miranda.

You pushed very hard and very long for

something you appeared to want very badly.

If it were me...

I wouldn't let anything stand in my way.

If it were me I wouldn't walk around

with my tag sticking out.

Here you go, come again.

- Lady, pay attention.

- What?

I'm just telling you to pay attention.

I'm in a hurry here.

Sorry.

What's that?

It's your stuff.

Yeah, thanks.

- Excuse me, you need to pay.

- I paid when I dropped it off.

- I don't have any record of it.

- Well, I have a receipt right here.

Well, I don't know how you can

if I don't have a record of it here.

Give me a minute and I'll show you.

How about you hand me

the items back first, ma'am?

- Excuse me? Are you kidding?

- Lady, I need to leave.

Look, I know I have a receipt.

I even... I wrote it in my check register.

Okay, why don't you let me

wait on him while you're looking?

Because it's my turn, dammit.

Please calm down. All you need

to do is hand me the item and...

And all you need to do

is stuff that fat back in your skirt.

How do you manage that,

being skinny and fat at the same time?
