Reign Over Me

- New patient? - Yes.

I was referred by my lawyer about veneers.

You're a new patient. Fill this out...

...so we know who to contact in case we lose you in the chair.

That was a joke, sweetie. I was being funny.

Hello.

Mrs. Remar, I'm Dr. Johnson.

Oh, it's Miss Remar.

And I know who you are. I see another doctor in the building regularly.

I've been on the elevator with you a few times.

Oh, okay.

You're married? I never noticed the ring before.

Oh, yes, I am. I'm married.

All right, what are we doing for you today?

One veneer, is that right?

They told me you don't usually do just one.

We do whatever's needed. Allie.

All right. Let's see.

- Now, which one is it? - I don't know.

You tell me.

So another cutie with a crush, huh?

What is it with you?

So you'll be back next week?

You're gonna schedule Miss Remar next week for the veneer. Right?

Yeah. I'm gonna clear the schedule the whole week...

...so that you could be mentally prepared for it. Okay?

It was so nice to finally meet you.

Oh, yeah. You too.

Okay.

I need the--

Oh, it's my daughters.

I'm gonna need that jacket.

- Okay, you stay, and then I'll reach. - Sorry.

No, that's fine. I'm minutes away.

Charlie--?

Hey, Charlie! Charlie Fineman!

Charlie!

Charlie. Charlie Fineman.

I'm so sick of your father.

He's in that bed again.

Just as mean and evil as he can be.

Like a pig with a bullet in his head.

You take your walk today, Mom?

I'll take that as a no.

Dad?

I hate this city. I hate this damn city.

I don't know why you brought us here.

I got the papaya juice you asked for.

Hate this damn city.

And the smell. All that garbage all up and down the street.

Daddy? I need money for the dress for the dinner...

...I'm going to with the Jacobsons.

And you'll have to drive me...

...because Mom's gonna be at Cherie's chorus practice.

Okay.

We have to talk about getting a cell phone.

This morning, you said we could talk about it tonight.

I thought we talked about the cell-phone issue.

But I'm 13 and I still share with my little sister.

Oh, right. Because you only need a cell phone...

- ...if Mommy or Daddy's late-- - I ran into Charlie Fineman today.

Really? How is he?

I don't know. I was in the car and he was on foot.

He was coming out of a hardware store. He was carrying paint.

You think he's still practicing?

Who's Charlie Fineman, Daddy?

He's an old college friend of mine, baby.

He was my college roommate, actually.

I haven't talked to him in a long, long time.

Is he the one from dental school...

...whose family was on the plane? Is that Charlie Fineman?

Yeah.

That's Charlie Fineman.

You know, I decided to sign us up for another photography class.

You did? You already signed us up?

Yeah, but this time for the advanced one.

I thought we had fun last quarter, didn't you?

What, you don't want to?

No, I do. Don't you?

I loved it.

- I had a really good time. - Yeah.

- Didn't you love it? - I did.

And now Advanced Photography? I mean, wow. I'm-- Yeah.

Good.

No sugar.

Don't take that to school, okay?

Whole Foods. Whole Foods snacks.

- Hey, Angela. - Dr. Johnson.

What is it about us always leaving the building at the same time?

- It's quitting time. - That's true.

- You good? - Yeah, I'm good. Thanks.

Good. Let me ask you something. Most married men have hobbies.

Okay, Alan. Don't do this. Come on.

- Don't do what? - We talked about this.

It's not really fair for you to wait for me out here on the street.

If you wanna make an appointment, we can make an appointment.

Yeah, I know. But it's a little thing.

Now, you remember the friend I was asking you about?

The friend who has no friends? Other than you?

Yeah, him. So he's a married guy, right?

And he's got a great wife and the whole nine.

But she will not let him-- I mean, it's like he can't just--

I mean, guys have guy hobbies, right?

They play poker, they golf, they do shit.

Okay, you know what? Stop. Stop.

I can't treat you from the lobby to the car park.

Treat me? I'm not-- I just asked you a question.

- Well, whatever you wanna call it-- - No, you're right.

- It's inappropriate. - You're right. I get it.

Let me ask you one thing.

I want your opinion as a woman, Angela.

As a woman.

Look, if I have this recurring dream where...

...I'm sitting on my couch...

...and it turns into a big vat of rubber, what is that?

Why don't you let me refer you to someone else?

Okay. Well...

...I hope it works out for you.

You wait for me enough times out on the street, though...

...you might owe me some dental work.

Have a nice day.

Bingo. There we go.

- That was a tough one. - Okay. Absolutely.

Now it all will fall into place.

Dad, can you take me to Becky Fishman's?

Sweetie, it's 9:30.

She wants me to spend the night.

Well, Daddy's had a long day at work...

...and he's finally finding some time to enjoy himself.

Just have her come over here.

And we can study your French together.

Oh, you know what? I'll take her. I'll go.

Babe. We've come this far. We've been working on this all week.

I know. I'll go. I'll go, and then I'll just come right back.

Don't be mad if I have this all done by the time you get back.

Because I'm on a roll here.

You're gonna miss out on all the action.

Just make sure you save me some sky, okay?

You know you owe that child bigtime.

You would've thought she got you out of traffic school...

...by the look on your face.

Good night, babe.

- Good night. - Thanks.

Hey, Charlie. Charlie. Charlie Fineman, hey!

Charlie, stop!

- Hey, Charlie. Hey, man. - Yeah?

- It's Alan. - Hey. How are you?

I saw you coming out of a paint store a couple weeks ago and...

I was screaming for you, honking the horn.

I stopped the car, jumped out in traffic. It was crazy.

Then I tried to get in touch with you, but nobody had any info on you.

Oh, good, good. Very cool.

- How you doing? - So we know each other?

Are you kidding me?

It's Alan Johnson, Charlie.

We went to dental school together.

Burrows Hall. I was your college roommate. You don't remember me?

Yeah, very cool. Very cool.

- Good. Good to see you, Burrows. - It's Johnson.

Charlie, you seriously don't remember me?

- We were college roommates? - Yeah.

Yeah, you slept naked most nights.

And you were a sleepwalker. It was the worst two years of my life.

Hey, are you practicing, man?

I tried to get in touch through the Dental Guild--

I'm practicing all the time, up in the valley.

Took down 12 of the Colossus so far.

The valley? What is that? Is that a medical complex or something?

It's more like another dimension.

You take a journey and discover yourself.

- Hey, man, you wanna go get a drink? - I can't drink. I can't drink.

I can't drink. I can't drink.

I gotta get going.

Then a coffee or something. Let's just go get a cup of coffee.

Real quick. I would just love to catch up with you, man.

Hey, Charlie.

This okay?

You like trivia?

Name the Great Lakes.

The Great Lakes. Can you name them?

Okay, Michigan is one.

Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie and Superior.

That was an easy one.

That's fifth-grade shit.

So, what have you been up to lately, Charlie?

I'm stuck between Pale White and Moon White.

I tried Butterscotch Yellow.

I couldn't live with it.

You painting something? You're remodeling or...?

You were my college roommate.

That was a long time ago.

- A whole other life. - Oh, yeah. No shit.

It's good to see your face.

Johnson.

Yeah, it's good to see you too, Charlie.

Yeah. All right.

You gotta take those shoes off.

Thank you.

Great record collection.

Yeah.
