00:00It's for Nurse Appreciation Week, so my ideal pinata would be a schlubby guy wearing a shirt
00:11that says something like, I don't care about nurses. Out of shape, real whackable face. He
00:17should be, uh, Caucasian. We don't have that. Do you want to check in the back? There's no back.
00:24I appreciate my nurses. And if that is a crime, then lock me up, put me in a super max prison,
00:33do a full cavity search. The only thing you're going to find in there is more nurse appreciation.
00:38So I'm going big this year. Of course, there's always snags. You might not do the parody song due
00:44to copyright reasons. If there's anyone listening from the band Nazareth, your legal team is insane.
00:50That's not a pinata. That's for baby showers. Well, you might want to mark that somewhere.
01:09Ah, the simple joys of a weekend conference. No needy patients. No office politics. Just poolside
01:17my ties and basic cable browsing. And maybe a cute dermatologist not looking for anything serious.
01:24Here at the Forest Hill Medical Conference, I am free.
01:32Hey, lay off, you maniac. This thing's hilarious, but it's also expensive, so.
01:37What are you doing here? Surprise! Can you believe it? First time ever. Two docs,
01:42one con for the mischief we shall make. So doctors come here from all over for two reasons. One, to
01:48share ideas, resources, and best practices with other healthcare leaders. And two, to party freaking
01:53hearty. Yeah, me and Rahm, we're going to wingman this thing. We're going to booze. We're going to
01:57schmooze. We're going to spread the news. Nobody parties like St. Dennis. What? Yeah,
02:03that was my first conference. Abe Lincoln, Amelia Earhart, Michael Jordan, both B and the original.
02:11Compared to my nurses, those people are all losers. Dog turds. That's how great you guys are.
02:17That's really beautiful, Joyce, but we should get back to it. Good segue. This week, as always,
02:21we will be awarding our gentle heart to the nurse who most exemplifies our commitment to care. So get
02:27those votes in. Can we just save time and give it to Alex? What makes you think I'd win? You won all six
02:32times it's been given by a lot. I count the votes. Oh, come on. It was maybe even seven,
02:37but whatever. Oh, you're all winners. And I got you something to show you how much you rock.
02:43It can't be. You rock. It is. Oh, so this, this is the gift. Everybody gets one. One,
02:51you greedy geese. I know what you're like. Just kidding. Really appreciate you.
02:56Oh my God. Okay, let's just take a look. A rock? Seriously? I want those paninis from last year.
03:04Oh, I'm eating bread again. I was getting too hot and it was changing my personality.
03:08It's the thought that counts, right? What was the thought? I think it's like you rock in like a
03:13rock and roll sense, but let's see what Urban Dictionary has to say.
03:17Feels strange even saying the word, you know? Divorced.
03:20Well, not to brag, but I am a bit of an expert when it comes to failed marriages. So if you need
03:26me tips. Have you tried the restaurant here? The three Yelp reviews say it's convenient.
03:35I am all about convenience. Run, run. Hey, save your seat. Come on.
03:38Okay, I'll be right there. So what were you saying?
03:40No, I've got to come now. I put my blazer down, but you know,
03:43some people don't respect that move. Oh, I'd like to tell you.
03:45Ma'am, the gentleman's with me. No, no, he was kidding.
03:50There's a party in my suite later at the pet house. You got to come.
03:53Who was that? Dr. Autumn Fenner from Boise.
03:57We talk at these things over the years, but she's always been married until now.
04:03She's actually cute. You should have kept talking to her. All right, let's go.
04:07It's my vows. They're furious. Sorry, ma'am. I know that's really painful.
04:11I'm going to get you in a private room as soon as one opens, okay?
04:14There's a righteousness almost in the bowels. Okay, I'm going to note that.
04:19Um, Alex, do I have to mark labs stat if they're for expedited workup?
04:23I told him he should know by now. All ED labs are stat,
04:25but you can give him a heads up for trauma. And we are all still learning.
04:29Thanks a lot. Also, duh, but I'm voting for you for a gentle heart.
04:31Oh, you know what? I'm voting for you. You've come a long way.
04:35Wow, really? That's what makes my day. Thanks.
04:40He's come a long way? Well, you know, he's come away.
04:43You got the award in the bag. You can drop the Mother Teresa routine.
04:46It's not a routine. I'm just trying to build up his confidence.
04:48Uh-huh. Seriously, I don't care about some dumb award.
04:51Uh-huh. Would you two shut the up?
04:54I am going through something.
04:57Round two of appreciation is upon us.
05:01I've got 12 kinds of cheesecake here.
05:03And I mean, I'm probably wearing more of it than I'm going to be eating, but...
05:06Oh. What? What is this?
05:12Who did...
05:15Anyone see who... Did you guys see who did that?
05:18Intro-operative bilial tract imaging is still very much in its infancy.
05:25Hey, I've been getting the word out about our shindig.
05:27Yeah, did some light flyering in the bathrooms.
05:30One lady was weird about it.
05:32Do you think people will come? What are you hearing?
05:34Well, I'm mostly hearing about the future of gallbladder care.
05:37Oh, is that what this guy's talking about?
05:38Oh, is it just me or does he suck?
05:41Well, nobody said Mr. Bean was good at public speaking.
05:46Nobody said Mr. Bean was good at public speaking.
05:51That was my line.
05:52Was it?
05:52Kind of felt like we were building on each other.
05:55I love it here.
06:00That was good.
06:01Yeah. Well, the guy's real name is Rowan Atkinson, but not everyone knows that.
06:04It's kind of a mouthful. I'd say sticking with Bean worked out.
06:08I'm glad you enjoyed it.
06:09It was very funny.
06:11You know what? You guys should come out to my suite later.
06:13Big cocktail soiree.
06:14Oh.
06:14Uh-huh.
06:15We're gonna go nuts. No men, no women, just people, you know?
06:19I hear something was funny.
06:20Oh, Lewis, you're gonna love this.
06:21Buckle up.
06:22Hey, I heard you guys are really enjoying my joke.
06:24Glad to hear it.
06:25Hmm?
06:26You know, the, um, context is key here.
06:30You gotta put yourself in front of the lecture.
06:32So I'm sitting in the audience and I say to myself,
06:35this guy looks like Mr. Bean.
06:38Oh, you're the fellow I have to thank for undermining my talk.
06:42Oh, um, no, he, um, I, I, I was just kidding around. I'm very sorry.
06:50You think my prominent ears and my larger than normal eyeballs disqualify me from talking about
06:54trends in internal medicine?
06:56No, I do not.
06:57More like Mr. Mean.
06:59Excuse me?
07:00I meant him.
07:02Mr. Mean.
07:05Right?
07:06Okay, now that is funny.
07:08You could learn a lot from your friend here, mister.
07:11I saw an opening, I took it.
07:14He got me.
07:15Hey, I heard you're voting for Matt for gentle heart.
07:18Bold.
07:18I was gonna say insane.
07:20Wow, you heard about that.
07:22You know what?
07:22I am. He is, uh, improving and he's always really gracious about learning.
07:26Not so sweet.
07:27Maybe all foot for him, too.
07:29Sure, who cares?
07:30Well, I mean, you just said it was insane.
07:32But sure, yeah, that'll be, that'll be good.
07:34That'll be good.
07:35Good for him.
07:36Has a man ever won before?
07:37Nope.
07:38Huh.
07:39Never thought of that.
07:40Kind of messed up.
07:41That's like one of those, um, what do you call it?
07:43Glass ceilings.
07:45I'm not sure that that applies here.
07:46See, that skepticism is what men are up against.
07:49Okay.
07:49You know, Matt has been working really hard and improving, and I think he deserves recognition
07:53for that.
07:54The recognition of a vote.
07:56A vote.
07:57One.
08:01I need everyone's attention.
08:03Someone has disrespected me, themselves, and quite frankly, all of us by throwing their
08:09appreciation rock into the trash, the least respected space in all of society.
08:15Anyone want to take responsibility?
08:16No, what a surprise.
08:19I'm going to need everybody to bring me their rocks by the end of the day today.
08:22Joyce, I doubt whoever did it was trying to hurt your feelings.
08:25This was thrown in the trash can right outside my office.
08:28It was a message.
08:30You know, in a lot of cultures, they throw these at women.
08:33This was essentially thrown at me.
08:37Okay, yeah, it was me.
08:38I threw the rock out.
08:39But only because it's a frickin' rock.
08:42Who cares?
08:43And how am I the only person who did that?
08:45You moved the cup.
08:47You set me up to fail.
08:48Uh-huh.
08:49What in a way?
08:51I know, right?
08:52What's going on?
08:53Why are they watching videos of water slides?
08:54I spilled the beans on a big surprise.
08:57Remember when Keith half drowned at that indoor water park?
08:59Yeah.
09:00Joyce got them to donate a free weekend for whoever wins gentle heart this year.
09:03Yes, ma'am.
09:04And all she had to do was promise I wouldn't sue.
09:07Everybody wins.
09:07Them and Joyce.
09:09Wait, are you talking about plunge planets?
09:11Oh, man, my kids are obsessed.
09:13I've been dying to stay home alone while Tim takes them there.
09:15It seems like with the water, it'd just be so slippery.
09:18Oh, my God.
09:19You have to go.
09:20I am telling everyone to vote for you.
09:23All right, well, I have some urine to attend to.
09:27Oh, he's gonna need a towel.
09:29Who do you think deserves that weekend more?
09:31You, the best nurse in this hospital, or that little animated hillbilly?
09:35Me.
09:36Obviously me.
09:37And can we be done with this false modesty?
09:39Start fighting for this.
09:42You know what?
09:42I will.
09:44Thanks for pushing me.
09:45It's what friends do.
09:49I don't really care who wins, but I sell cruise packages on the side,
09:52and I think I can talk Matt into one.
09:54It'll be much easier if he's a slide virgin.
09:58Last name and rock.
10:00Uh, just wanted to chat real quick.
10:02Are you okay?
10:03Not really.
10:04I spent all weekend at my lake house collecting and painting rocks.
10:08Plucked them right out of the river.
10:09Probably destroyed a whole ecosystem, but it was worth it to me to show the nurses that I care.
10:15I guess I didn't realize how much you thought all this through.
10:18Anyway, what did you want to talk to me about?
10:20I just wanted to see how you're holding up.
10:23Well, thank you for asking, Serena.
10:25You are the only one who has.
10:28And I've told you how I feel, but I'm happy to go through it again.
10:30Once was good.
10:32I should get going.
10:33Oh, I will need to see a rock.
10:35It's just a formality, but I can't be seen playing favorites.
10:39Even though you are my favorite.
10:40Is anyone?
10:47Please.
10:51Now, I believe we were discussing dinner.
10:54I believe we did.
10:55Gotcha.
10:59Have you lost your mind?
11:00What?
11:01You brought a squirt gun to a medical conference?
11:03No, I brought two squirt guns.
11:06You and me are going to mess up those losers from Seattle Children's Hospital.
11:09They're in the business center, so they are really not going to see it coming.
11:14She's gone.
11:15Oh, you don't think she's going to warn them, do you?
11:17I've been laying the groundwork for a decade with Finner.
11:21Now, the ring is off of her finger, and you done blowing up my spot.
11:23I'm just trying to have a little fun here.
11:25Come on.
11:26Let's show everybody what teams say Dennis can do.
11:28We are not a team.
11:30It's just you and me, and you're ruining it for me.
11:32Take it easy.
11:33The kickback tonight in my suite is going to be so transformative,
11:36we're not even going to remember we argued.
11:38I'm not coming to your stupid party, you clown.
11:40I never was!
11:50Hey, can I buy one of your rocks?
11:53I put mine in my car, and I don't want to schlep wreck out there just to show Joyce.
11:56It wouldn't work.
11:57She has a system.
11:58Processed by Dr. Joyce Henderson.
12:00That seems like a lot.
12:01Cheesecake for the nurses.
12:04Chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga.
12:06Cheesecake is what I would have said, but there is a vandal in our midst,
12:11so I'm going to be eating one of these slices every 10 minutes until they are revealed.
12:14But that's so much cheesecake.
12:16Oh, it's a haunting amount, and I don't know what it's going to do to my GERD, but you forced my hand.
12:2410 minutes start now.
12:27Does anyone know who threw the rock out?
12:28Anyone?
12:33Do I feel bad about what happened with Bruce?
12:36Not at all.
12:37I got what I wanted.
12:38I'm in my room.
12:39And yeah, the ice machine is too loud, and this bottom button doesn't work,
12:43so I've got to press the top one like 68 times to get back to storage wars,
12:47but it is worth it, because this is the dream.
12:49You got enough damn ice!
12:58Oh, I'm sorry.
13:00I...
13:01There is a bitterness to you, Leonard.
13:04You can't know that for sure.
13:07So we have a little bit of an issue.
13:09It turns out that a lot of people are voting for Matt for Gentle Heart.
13:12Oh.
13:13You'd think, ah, but here's the sad part, okay?
13:16I get the sense that a lot of the votes are, like, sarcastic.
13:20Like, people are like, oh yeah, not so great.
13:23You know, it's like bullying votes.
13:24Matt's getting bullied?
13:26That is sad.
13:27Right?
13:28So let's just make sure that everyone is honoring the spirit of the awards.
13:31You know, whoever exemplifies commitment to care, like for real.
13:34Yeah. Actually, I was going to vote for you, but now I think I should vote for Matt to support him.
13:39Mmm.
13:40You know what? I don't think that I should be interfering with the democratic process,
13:43so whatever your gut says, sounds like your gut says me.
13:45My gut says Matt.
13:47You said your gut said me.
13:49Get back to work.
13:54If you'd asked me how many rocks we had out here, I'd have said,
13:57I don't know, a billion.
13:59Turns out it's zero.
14:01A lot of pebbles, some grass, a disturbing number of condoms.
14:05No rocks.
14:07Hey there. What are you up to?
14:09I need a rock.
14:10Oh, what for? Construction, decoration, fuel?
14:13It just has to be a rock. It's a thing for Nurse Appreciation Week.
14:17Man, I wish it was a gift shop employee appreciation week.
14:21Yeah, maybe just be happy you haven't been replaced with an iPad yet.
14:26Oh, sorry. It's just you were being really annoying.
14:29I put these in the planners. Nice local touch, I thought. Could've given her one,
14:34but she had to get all political on me.
14:42Hello.
14:42I used to have a good reputation at this thing.
14:45But now, thanks to Bruce, I'm the jerk. Because of Bruce. And me. Well, mostly me.
14:54I heard somebody serving up some crow with a side dish of humble pie.
14:59There's Brie over there.
15:00Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Has anybody seen Bruce?
15:03Woo! All right, let's go.
15:07Uh, do not go in there. Woo!
15:11Hey, it's Ventura. You guys remember? Um, but seriously, stay out of that bathroom for a little bit.
15:17How much has he had to drink? I think like two glasses of white wine.
15:20What is this? Bruce. Huh?
15:22Did you have anything to eat today? Oh, okay. Now he's interested in my food intake.
15:27Oh, you took your time. No, for the record, Ron, I have not had solids in four days.
15:32That's called getting pool ready. Does that make you feel superior to me?
15:37I mean, well, kind of. I mean. The water guns were a good idea.
15:41We would have creamed those pediatrician nerds.
15:49Keith. Hey, buddy. Oh, hi there, friend.
15:53Looks like you haven't taken that bad boy to Joyce yet.
15:55Well, it's a girl and no. I've been pretty swamped. Heading over now.
16:00Can I see him? May I ask why?
16:04I just need it for a minute.
16:07Come on, Keith. I need it.
16:11But this one's mine.
16:13Keith, give me a rock.
16:16Give it. Just let it go, man. Whoa!
16:21Is she bothering you?
16:22No, no. Ah, Keith was just kidding around.
16:25At a time like this, okay, I cannot keep eating cheesecake.
16:30So if someone doesn't come into my office by 5 p.m. today, the whole week is canceled.
16:34Oh. Okay, Matt, you got this.
16:37Um, Nadine's lab should be back soon. Maybe an hour or two.
16:41Um, so just stay here and squeeze her hand if her bowels start to cease.
16:44Copy that. Okay.
16:45My hands are clammy. That's not an apology. It's just a fact.
16:48Copy that as well.
16:49Oh!
16:49Out of sight, out of mind. Smart.
16:54I love Matt. He's a great kid, but I buried him.
16:57Okay, and I didn't just do it for me. I did it for justice and feminism.
17:01Uh, and my kids, the whole water park thing, right? I mean, I did it for a lot of reasons.
17:05Wow, congratulations.
17:07Oh, my God.
17:10Tess came back not bowel issues. Turns out she's pregnant.
17:14Yeah, I can see that, Val.
17:15Oh, you sweet boy. You sweet blessed boy. I wish there was some way to repay you.
17:22Must be the luckiest nurse around.
17:24Didn't that write baby Matt? That's what the mom's calling him.
17:27We'll see if it sticks, but it's on the birth certificate, so probably.
17:33Let's get you some water.
17:34Oh, please. Drop the act, De Nero. You don't have to pretend like you care about me.
17:39You've made it very clear all day you couldn't give a .
17:43Come on. No, you come on.
17:45Whatever happened to Wingman, huh? You and me, kings of the conference, making friends.
17:52You're hosting a party. People are here. You're making friends.
17:55Doesn't matter. You're the only person here who really knows me, and you think that I'm .
17:59I do not think you're .
18:01You look down on me like we do with .
18:05Okay, why don't you lay down? Come on.
18:07No. Oh. Lay down. I get it.
18:10You want me to lay down so I'd be even lower so you can look down on me even more.
18:15No, stop. You can't do it if I'm high. No, hey. Uh-uh. Out of the way.
18:20Yeah. If I'm on top of this armoire, you can't look down on me.
18:24Don't watch yet. Don't watch yet.
18:26Please. What are you doing?
18:27I don't. I've struck a nerve, have I?
18:29What?
18:30Here we go. Here we go.
18:31Huh? Come on, Bruce. Be careful.
18:33Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
18:35Yeah. I mean, that's why I said it.
18:36Try looking on me. Down on me now. You can't.
18:39I'm the king of the conference.
18:41You want to dethrone the king? Well, come at me.
18:43Come at me and climb up here. Climb all the way up on me.
18:51The thing was broken.
18:53This place is cheap.
18:54I just counted the votes. You and Matt are tied.
19:04Seriously?
19:05But you haven't voted yet.
19:07I specifically told him I would vote for him.
19:10That's true. I gave him my word.
19:14Thanks, guys.
19:14I voted for you.
19:17Yeah, same.
19:20Hey, Matt.
19:22You ever slept on a boat?
19:23You can do that.
19:25You don't want to peak too soon.
19:26You got to stay hungry.
19:28So, honestly, Matt, if you're watching this ever,
19:31you're welcome.
19:34Five minutes, you guys.
19:36We're down to, like, two slices.
19:38Come on. I need the heavy cream.
19:39I'm going to look at the ground when I say this,
19:41so I don't give away who I think did it.
19:43But I think she should confess.
19:46Fine. I don't want to ruin everyone else's day.
19:49It's time to grow up, act like an adult, and face Joyce.
19:53They took my rock and threw it in the garbage.
19:57And this is some kind of nursing gang?
19:59Uh, maybe.
20:02But they said if you investigate it any further,
20:04they'll do something crazy.
20:06Well, understood.
20:07I will drop it and never speak of this again.
20:10Thanks, Joyce.
20:11You know, it's obvious why this even happened.
20:14The other nurses are jealous of our relationship.
20:19Although a lot of gangs also have a racial component.
20:22Oh, I think it was the first thing.
20:24They want what we have.
20:25Why don't you come and pick out a new rock for yourself
20:28at our family's lake house this weekend?
20:31Oh, okay.
20:32You're going to love it up there.
20:34The roads are really windy.
