(GREG'S MOM TURNS TV OFF) Mom, what are you doing? Okay, Mom, listen, she doesn't want to see me. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, Gregory... ...that you do not have a choice in this particular matter. Mom, please, let me say one thing for one second. You have been given an opportunity to make a very real difference in someone's life. And if what you're choosing instead is to lie around the house all day... She doesn't want to see me! ...I will be required to step in... We're not even friends! ...and inform you that that is 100% unacceptable. GREG: Your nonstop stream of words is making me freak out! And if you think that all these excuses you're making are in any way better... ...or more important, than the happiness of a girl with cancer... Mom! I am now entering a subhuman state. ...a friend with cancer, you are sadly mistaken, my friend. (GREG GROANING) You are going to pick up that phone. You're going to call Rachel again. You are going to. You are going to.
