Hey, guys!
Four days until vacation week. Where are we all going?.
Nowhere. We don't get next week off.
We've got to load out the sets and take them to storage.
Then at night, I've got to drive around Newark looking for my runaway daughter.
Oh.
Oh. What happened to your hand?.
Oh, I was trying out my spray tan for my trip to St. Bartleby's next week.
Oh, Miss Lemon, how could you do that to your beautiful hands?.
With your flat, manly, milking thumbs and your long, graceful knuckle hair --
Thank you, Kenneth.
[Sneezes]
Are you sick?. Because I am not getting sick before my trip.
The place I go to has private beaches, soft-serve ice cream machines,
and, after the French custom, people wear dark socks to the beach.
It's the one thing I do for myself every year. And I am going.
I even bought a new swimsuit.
What is that?.
It's called a "Tankoort", Cerie.
You may have seen it in Us Weekly
being worn by Dame Judi Dench...
...'s mother.
[Sneezes]
Kenneth?.
Don't worry, Miss Lemon. I never get sick.
I have the constitution of an ox.
[Vomits]
Oh, no! I must have ox fever!
When did I walk barefoot near an ox?.
You have the flu.
Go home. You are not ruining my vacation!
Liz, wait. Did you get that swim thing for your vacation?.
You know it's cancelled, right?.
No. What?. Wait. What are you talking about?.
The hotel was overbooked. I texted you.
No. No, you didn't!
Oh, I forgot to hit send.
Just hold on a second.
There you go. [Phone chimes]
[Groans]
I got a great reservation to celebrate our first real date.
Now, have you ever had sushi?.
I once had a very under-cooked fish sandwich at a parade.
I guess that counts.
[Moans] Oh, no. But...
I can only stay for five minutes.
I have to go back to work.
I thought today was your day off.
I have another patient on my off days.
He's a sweet, old man with advanced dementia.
Totally disconnected from reality.
Oh, that reminds me. I owe Lou Dobbs a call.
Elisa, are you telling me that you work seven days a week?.
Yes. I have two jobs.
That's what regular people do, you know?.
Especially those whose grandmothers are addicted to online poker.
Don't let that keep us apart. When are you back with my mother?.
I'll cook you dinner.
Jack...
Your house... is my workplace.
Plus, Colleen doesn't seem to like that we're together.
I hope you know she acts like that because she hates every woman I like.
It's not because you're a...
...I'm sorry. What do you call yourself?.
A Puerto Rican.
No, I know you can say that. But what do I call you?.
A Puerto Rican.
Wow. That does not sound right.
[Man sneezes]
Oh, Miss Lemon. Mr. Donaghy wants to see you in the green room.
Kenneth, why are you still here?.
Oh, don't worry about me. I'm "A-oh-boy."
I should be going to the Caribbean.
Instead, I'm stuck here with you and a bunch of guys named Sully.
Kenneth: Oh, Miss Lemon.
Sully! Brett Favre, right?.
[Sully sneezes]
Jack, I need to ask you to drop your pants.
[Sighs] That's it.
Have a sucker.
[Knocking]
Lemon, there you are.
Leo's giving out flu shots.
Not my favorite part of the medical profession.
My favorite part is attending executions.
Can I ask you a question as a woman?.
Dr. Spaceman: You may, Jack.
Are you going to alter your voice or dress up in any way?.
Uh... Liz.
Oh. Sorry.
I don't know what to do about Elisa.
She works all the time.
You know she's a second-generation Puerto Rican.
Jack, you can't call her that!
That's what I thought.
With work and everything, it's turning out to be complicated.
You said the same thing about C.C.
Count yourself lucky you're getting one of these.
Jack: He only has five left.
Lemon, I need you to tell me who on your staff
is important enough to get one.
Hold on. You're rationing healthcare?.
That's not okay.
[Doctor sighs] [Jack laughs]
Yes, Lemon. Important people get better health care.
They also get better restaurant reservations,
bigger seats in planes --
A more refined class of prostitute...
For me, it's really about the companionship.
Like it or not, you're one of us now.
One of the elite.
No, I'm not. I am from White Haven, PA.
My grandfather dug out the White Haven quarry,
and my other grandfather filled it back in with the sludge from the eraser factory.
I am still way more like those people than you.
And I don't want anything they don't get.
Lemon, you don't want to get sick.
It's not about that. It's about fairness. I don't want the shot.
[Door closes]
When is modern science going to find a cure for a woman's mouth?.
[Door buzzer]
Jack. What are you doing here?.
Making this work. I brought some dinner and Monopoly.
We can have a fun, low-key night. Unless I lose.
That is sweet.
But very inappropriate.
Get in before somebody sees you.
The agency would fire me if they knew I was having guests.
Who's going to tell them?. Him?.
Hey, it's me. Matlock. I need your help.
Okay. Very funny, Jack.
Elisa.
You work so hard.
Don't you think you deserve some time for yourself?.
Of course I do. I've been living in New York for 1 5 years,
and I've never seen a Broadway play, or been in a restaurant without a TV in it.
Or had a romantic dinner with a man in a suit.
Ay.
Okay, you can stay.
But it's not all going to be fun and games. Mr.Templeton's foot is still healing.
Of course. You do your job and I'll just...
[Gasps]
What is wrong with it?.
Is that a beak?.
- Yes! - No.
Yes!
Liz, Tracy says Kauai is more beautiful than Maui
and keeps shouting when I try to give my opinion,
which is that...
"La-la-la-la-la-la-la!"
Maui is the wind surfing capital of the world!
Guys, come on. We have to shoot these promos.
Oh, my God. Jack gave you two flu shots?.
They said it was a flu shot.
But I know it's really a truth serum.
It's not a truth serum.
Then why am I telling you you look like Tootsie today?.
You two should be ashamed of yourselves.
The crew is on death's door, and you're arguing about Hawaii?.
If I were you, I'd be doing something special to thank them.
That would make us look pretty great.
Yeah.
Kenneth, I'm considering giving you one of the remaining flushots.
No need, sir. It would be an honor to die at my post
and be given the traditional burial of a Parcell man.
Wrapped in a Confederate Flag, fried and fed to dogs.
Are you ready for your shot?.
Never.
Two-tiered health care is a crime.
You know, in Cuba, everybody gets equal healthcare.
What a surprise. You've seen the Michael Moore movie.
Think again, Jack. I saw the trailer when I went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks.
But this flu shot rationing is baloney.
If my crew can't get a shot, I'm not getting a shot.
Hey. You tell him, Liz!
God bless you, crewman!
We've got to fight the power!
[Cheering]
Oh, boy.
Fight the powers that be!
[Cheering]
Man: That's right!
This makes me want to "shoop"!
[Cheering] "Shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop, shoop!"
Mr. Jordan. Miss Maroney. You wanted to see me?.
Kenneth, Tracy and I want to do something for the crew.
You know, to thank them for being sick.
Tracy: We didn't know what to get them. But then, I had a brainstorm.
It was a bad one. Jenna had to put my tongue guard in.
But after he stabilized, we decided we'd get them all hot soup.
So, go do that.
Oh.
All the other pages have gone home sick.
I can't make any runs right now.
Maybe... the two of you could go get the soup?.
I don't understand.
Well, I'm saying you could get your wallet --
My what?.
...and go downstairs to the basement.
No.
...then, you go to the soup place and bring the soup back up here.
With what?. My arms?.
...make sure to take your ID's with you.
That would be the worst part!
Wait. Tracy, we have to do this.
Without the crew, we'd just be two amazing people succeeding in a vacuum.
Come on. Do it for them.
Yeah. For the crew.
Because it's their birthday.
I had a wonderful time last night.
Elisa: Yeah, I did, too.
Are you with Mr. Templeton now?.
How I envy him.
I wish you would exercise my muscles...
...so they don't atrophy.
Well, are you coming over tonight?
We can finish our game of Monopoly.
Of course I am.
I'm just going to be a little late.
I have tickets to a special charity performance of The Lion King.
I wish I could convince you to go with me.
You know I can't, Jack.
Are you kidding me?.
I'd love to go out...
...get all dressed up, tip maitre d's, and be all like...
"Thank you, Roger. This table was super-duper."
I live in the Big Apple.
But I spend all my time with the BigVegetable.
[sighs] Why can't I have fun like an upper-middle-class person?.
Why can't you?.
You sound just like Lemon. Come with me tonight.
Be a member of the elite.
??? The night's like a banquet... Give it a try... ???
??? Candlelight, caviar... You and I... ???
??? And Templeton... Mr. Templeton... ???
??? Why should he stay at home... Just get his medication... ???
??? Go with us... See a show with us... ???
??? The plan's such a simple one... Templeton... ???
??? Don't roll away... ???
- Hey, Liz. - Hey!
I just want to let you know we appreciate what you said before. [Sniffs]
So, in order to thank you, we got you a meat plate.
Liz: Thanks, guys.
I am really going to eat this.
Enjoy.
[Phone chimes]
Hey, Cerie. What is this text you sent me supposed to mean?.
Your vacation is back on.
Well, how is that any easier...
Wait. My vacation is back on?.
Yeah. I guess since this flu, there's been a bunch of cancellations.
I am so happy, the number four, the letter "U".
Thank you, Banyani.
Thank you,Oscar.
[Crew coughing]
Liz: Oh, God. They're all sick.
[Coughing]
They're all diseased!
I can't get sick. I can't get sick.
[Liz screams]
Stay away, sick ones!
Miss Lemon!
[Screams]
I have revision pages for you!
[Gasps] Oh, my God, Pete! Thank God it's you.
Liz. What's wrong?.
[Sneezes, groans]
Why?.
[Door closes]
Give me the shot.
I want to go on my vacation. I take back all the stuff I said.
If you want a shot...
...you're going to have to dance for it.
Very nice.
I'm such a hypocrite.
You have to promise me you won't tell anyone I'm getting this shot.
Liz, I believe doctor-patient confidentiality is a two-way street.
I'm cheating on my wife.
Ay!
[Sneezes]
[Coughing]
Hey. Where have you guys been?. We were supposed to shoot promos an hour ago!
Okay, we forgot about that. But we have a good reason.
Yeah, we were out getting soup for the crew.
Nope. We forgot about that too.
We went out shopping together. We had fun, though.
??? Every girl crazy about a -- ???
Yeah, I get it. You went shopping. I don't need the montage.
Yeah. I tried on a lot of outfits.
And some of them, I was like,"No."
But then, some of them, I was like, "Yeah!"
So we're running behind because you guys forgot to get soup.
Is there anything you do that doesn't make my life harder?.
I can't believe we forgot the soup.
We have to think of something else.
I know.
I also want to thank you for controlling yourself sexually
while we spend time together on this adventure.
Hey, Liz.
How you feeling?. You got this bug, yet?.
Uh, I'm a little achy. Probably because I didn't get the shot.
Ah... You should go home, sweetheart. You don't want this.
No way, dude. If you're working, I'm working.
[Groans, coughs]
Later.
That Liz Lemon is okay.
Why did we hate her guts so much?.
Lemon. We actually went on a date last night.
Elisa and I.
And it was magical.
Oh! My purse!
You took the old man with you?.
I admit it's an ethical gray area.
No, it's just wrong.
Yes, well, we can't all be as noble as you.
Turning down a flu shot on moral grounds, coming into work and risking your health
despite your special vacation.
It's called principles, Jack.
[Coughs] Oh. I think I'm probably getting it.
Oh, that reminds me...
About 24 hours after receiving the flu shot...
...you develop a distinctive rash...
...at the injection site.
So, please let Make-Up know for...
Tracy and Jenna.
[Squeals]
I wasn't resting! A Parcell man never lies down on the job.
Unless that job involves... milking pig teats.
Miss Lemon, what is that?.
Did you... Did you get the shot?.
No, no, no. This is a dream.
You're having a fever dream.
We're speaking French, and I'm your mother.
Oh... Oh, ma chère maman! Pourquoi?
Pourquoi m' as tu laissè?
[Door buzzer]
Ta-da!
What are we doing tonight?.
It's a surprise.
But he's going to need a helmet.
Come here.
[Door buzzer]
[Gasps]
It's Mr. Templeton's son.
I thought you said he didn't have any family.
Not here. He lives in London.
But now, God has sent him to punish me for being so bad.
Or maybe it's a business trip.
[Door buzzer]
You need to hide. I cannot lose this job.
I'd have to go back to working the late shift at Dunkin' Donuts.
Oh, the customers are so sad.
Can I help you?.
Yes. What time do you start throwing out doughnuts?.
[Keys in lock] He's coming in.
Oh. There you are.
Of course I'm here. Always.
Sorry to surprise you. I just wanted to check on Dad.
How's he doing?.
Well... he's stable, but vegetative.
Totally unaware of his surroundings.
A man comes at night.
He comes to the house and takes me.
Dad!
Okay. That's surprising.
He wears a suit. His hair is thick...
Iike a Bolshevik Commissar.
He made me watch a giraffe with the legs of a man!
Templeton Jr: Dad?. It's me, Michael.
He gave money to a silver man!
He ate a plate of fire!
Dad?. There's no man.
Yes! He was in prison.
But now, he owns a railroad!
What is going on?. Why is he all worked up?.
You know, sometimes, they watch cartoons, and they think it's real.
It's very common.
[Knocking]
Tracy. I've got it!
Give it to me! It's mine!
No. I know what we can get the crew.
They don't need soup. They need medicine.
And what's the best medicine?.
Medicine?.
Laughter. Do you see where I'm going with this?.
No!
[Crew coughing]
Well, he's finally asleep.
You must be exhausted. Why don't you go to bed?.
No. Thanks. I'm not tired.
Oh, good.
Because there is something in the other room that I need to show you.
And I won't remember what it is until I see it.
[Snoring]
The Dark Man is here! He's come to take me!
Shh! Sir, no!
I did things during the war. Terrible things.
Mr. Templeton, my name is Jack.
And I'm just a guy dating your nurse, and I took advantage of your condition
so I could be with her. Do you understand what I'm saying?.
What we did was wrong. But we did it for the greatest reason of all.
I've lost too many good things because I couldn't make time for them. And I...
... can't let that happen with Elisa.
Is Elisa the Puerto Rican?.
Wow. That really doesn't sound okay. But, yes.
And I beg you.
Please don't tell your son.
All right.
But the next time we go out, I want to go to Washington Square Park.
It's where I proposed to my wife.
Oh.
And then...
I want to go to a Negro bar.
I'll see what I can do.
Tracy: Attention, ladies and germs...
-... and gentlemen - Hey, Liz.
Tracy: Are you ready to feel better?.
Because we have just the thing!
- Soup?. - No!
Now, in the grand tradition of Patch Adams...
prepare yourself for the comic stylings
of Tracy the Amazing...
and Jenna!
??? [Circus music plays] ???
Really?. Do you really think this is helping?.
Crewman: Hey! Leave her alone!
Crew: Yeah!
What?. Why aren't you laughing?. This is happening to Liz!
No, they love Liz now.
Everybody likes me. It's you two idiots --
Hey! What's that on your arm?.
She got a flu shot! She... She lied to us!
Give us back our meat plate!
Crew: Yeah!
No, guys. Listen, you don't understand.
This vacation --
You sold us out for a vacation?.
No! Not just any vacation.
This one has beach socks and ice cream
and sandwich turtles!
[Crew groans]
I work so hard, guys. Don't I deserve to sit on a beach?.
Je vous déteste!
Crew: Yeah!
Liz: It's not what you think!
There is a gentleman involved!
A Filipino gentleman. His name is Banyani.
I want to take him as my island lover!
[Crew groans]
Liz: Last year, he was totally sending signals.
And this time, I was going to go for it!
There! I said it! Are you happy?
It kind of peters out after that.
I just suck pie off my sweatshirt for the next half hour.
Ugh. I'm so embarrassed.
Well, that goes with out saying.
But the good news is that your relationship with the crew...
is back where it should be. And now, you can go on your vacation...
guilt-free.
No, I can't. I feel like a jerk.
Oh, come on, Lemon. Embrace your elitism.
What do we elites do when we screw up?.
We pretend it never happened and give ourselves a giant bonus.
That you don't deserve. I don't deserve to go anywhere.
Says who?.
What Elisa and I did wasn't right, but we're happier now.
And you're going to be happier when you go to St. Bartleby's and get...
whatever's left of your groove back.
Face it, Lemon. Not everyone gets a shot.
Not everyone gets to go to the Caribbean. But you're special.
You're better.
So, go.
Go to your...
island lover.
Yeah. Alright. Yes. I'm gonna.
[Bowels rumbling]
Did that come out of you or me?
I don't know.
It's really hot in here.
You know, the flu vaccine is actually a small dose of the virus itself.
So, there's always the risk that -- Oh God!
Both ends! Both ends!
I'm not going to make it!
??? The city is hopping With things to do ???
??? But it's 1/3 funner With you-know-who ???
??? Yes, Templeton... Mr. Templeton... ???
??? Let's go have some thrills... Pack his pills and his glasses... ???
??? We'll get a bite... Then we'll say goodnight... ???
??? To our own special friend... Mr. Templeton... ???
??? Please... Look away... ???
??? We'll be out till dawn... ???
??? Strap your helmet on... ???
