You're meeting the friends?

Prepare to be grilled.

Vivian, we had some emergencies.

I can't get out of here until 8.

Make that 9.

Have the most expensive

birthday floral arrangement...

...delivered to this address.

Ten. Ten.

Wil, last minute preop.

I have to run. Can you take it?

Everyone's gone home.

Can I come in?

I'm not sure.

Okay.

That's it?

You didn't want me to stay.

I didn't say you should leave.

Never mind.

That one's from you.

That one's from my dad.

I'm an idiot.

What if I stay the night?

The whole night?

The whole night.

Happy birthday.

Hello, Vivian?

This is your mother.

Just calling to say hi.

Hope your birthday good.

Did Wil show up?

Thought you may wanna talk

after she leaves.

Oh, maybe she's still there?

Okay. Bye.

Oh, my God.

You talked to your mother about us?

Yeah. So?

''So''? Does she know we have sex?

No, Wil.

She thinks we conjugate Latin verbs.

Really?

Did you tell her about this?

You missed the mahjong party.

Ma, don't start with me today.

You wanna bust on someone,

find yourself a husband to bust on.

So marry her off. There's gotta be

someone you can fix her up with.

I'll put the word out.

We'll come up with someone.

Oh, hey, my landlord's a Chinese guy.

-No wife?

-I don't think so.

-He's not very chatty, but he's rich.

-Might as well put him on the list.

What about Mr. Park

over at Smiler's Deli?

-Park is Korean. Ma's strictly Chinese.

-Your mom called.

-Oh, God.

-Hey, there's a Mr. Fu.

He's finishing a checkup

with Morgan.

Let me see his stats.

Fifty-three, unmarried.

Thyroid levels aren't where I'd like

to see them, but overall pretty healthy.

Okay. Be discrete

but ask him if he's free Friday.

Book him, Danno.

I'm not going on a date.

Let your hair down.

Too puffy, better up.

But I'm not going.

Is that what you're gonna wear?

What's wrong with it?

Maybe you should

wear something brighter.

How about this one?

Chinese people cannot wear yellow.

On sale.

How about this one? It's sexy.

No one wants to see a 50-year-old

Chinese woman look sexy.

Ma, you're only 48.

Connie Chung's sexy,

and she must be nearly 60.

Her show was cancelled.

-Is it a white guy?

-No.

An ugly old white guy.

No. He's Chinese.

He's nice, very healthy.

Pretty healthy.

I'm not going.

Okay. Okay. Wear that.

I'm really not going.

It'll be fun.

Then you go.

All right, forget it.

Forget it. It's already 1 0 till 7.

I don't have enough time.

Tell him I'm sick.

Lost my voice.

What am I going

to talk about anyway?

Forty-eight and going on a date.

Ma.

It's okay.

We have enough time.

Look. This dress isn't bad.

We'll just take your hair down.
