DR. ABBOTT: That's the wrong file. Ah, Louise, call my tennis instructor. Tell him to take my 5 o'clock to 6 o'clock.
[She starts taking notes.]
DR. ABBOTT: Call Rose, tell her I'll be an hour late coming home and why is there no coffee in the coffee pot?
LOUISE: We ran out of coffee.
DR. ABBOTT: And you forgot where the market is?
[He walks into an examining room. Francine Tompkins and her mother are sharing a laugh.]
DR. ABBOTT: Well, Francine. Your culture came back [reading from the file] and as I suspected you... [staring at the file in disbelief] ...you do not have strep-throat.
[Cut to County High's library. Amy and her friends are sitting at one of the tables. Ephram approaches followed closely by Bright and his friends.]
AMY: Hey Ephram, what's up?
EPHRAM: [nervously] Ah nothing... I just wanted to ask you...
KAYLA: [noticing the pine cones] FYI, only the girls are supposed to give the pine cones.
EPHRAM: Yeah, I'm aware of that Kayla. [to Amy] Somebody left this for me on my locker.
AMY: Who?
[Ephram looks at her confused, then hears Bright and his friends giggling in the background. He realizes that he's been played again.]
EPHRAM: [under his breath] I don't know.
AMY: You didn't, you didn't think that I...
EPHRAM: No no no no no. I was just, just confirming.
[He heads out of the library but passes Bright and his friends.]
EPHRAM: I guess I underestimated you, dude. I thought you'd at least come up with a new way of messing with me.
BRIGHT: Oh, why bother dude. You keep falling for the same joke, man.
[He high fives one of his friends. Amy rushes out to catch Ephram and doesn't look pleased with Bright.]
[Cut to the hallway. Amy catches up with Ephram.]
AMY: I wanna apologize for my brother, I mean I-I know he's a jerk sometimes but...
EPHRAM: Try all the time.
AMY: If it makes you feel any better, Ephram, I didn't ask you to the dance 'cause I'm not going with anyone. I'm not even going myself.
EPHRAM: Fine. Whatever.
AMY: It would just be weird. Last year I asked Colin and...
EPHRAM: I said fine. I don't care. OK, I don't wanna hear about your stupid boyfriend every other minute. I get it, OK? I get it.
[He storms off leaving Amy depressed.]
{COMMERCIAL BREAK}
[Cut to the Brown kitchen. Dr. Brown, stirring his drink, keeps staring at Ephram nervously, who is busying himself. Ephram notices.]
EPHRAM: What? What what is it? Are you moving us to Zimbabwe or something? What?
DR. BROWN: No no no, it's nothing like that. I was, I was just thinking about something. It, it's funny actually. Well, it's not so much funny ha ha as... you see, the thing is... I don't know whether or not you've ever had sex.
EPHRAM: And you never will.
[He walks out of the kitchen to avoid the conversation.]
DR. BROWN: OK then. Good talking to ya.
DELIA: [yelling in the background] My Penguin hat! DAAAD!!!
[Dr. Brown runs to the laundry.]
[Cut to Delia in the laundry fumbling with her hat.]
DR. BROWN: What's wrong?
DELIA: Look at my hat. |
