#1141: Two Years explain
[Randall and Randall’s fiancée sit on a bed, Randall’s fiancée is talking on the phone. The person she is talking to, a doctor holding a clipboard, is shown inset.]
Randall’s fiancée: Oh god.
[Randall and Randall’s fiancée sit together while Randall’s fiancée, now bald, is receiving chemotherapy. They are both on their laptops.]
IV pump: … Beeep … Beeep … Beeep …
[Randall and Randall’s fiancée (who is wearing a knit cap) are paddling a kayak against a scenic mountain backdrop.]
[Randall and Randall’s fiancée sit at a table, staring at a cell phone. There is a clock on the wall. Her head is stubbly.]
Randall’s fiancée: How long can it take to read a scan!?
[Randall and Randall’s fiancée are back at the hospital again, Randall’s fiancée receiving chemo. They are playing Scrabble.]
Randall: “Zarg” isn’t a word.
Randall’s fiancée: But caaaancer.
Randall: …Ok, fine.
[Randall and Randall’s fiancée (wearing a knit cap) are listening to a Cueball-like friend. A large thought bubble is above their heads and it obscures the friends talk. The text below, split in three is the only part there can be no doubt about:]
Friend: So next year you should come visit us up in the mounta [final ‘A’ partly obscured, but distinctive enough to suggest the whole word as being “mountain(s)”]
a [end of that line, end of word, follows obscured character best matching either an ‘E’ or ‘F’]
and [obscured next word starts with a upper near-vertical, similar to edge of ‘V’/’W’ but could match the style of ‘H’ or other characters]
Randall and Randall’s fiancée (thinking): “Next year”
[Randall and Randall’s fiancée are getting married, with a heart above their heads. Randall’s wife’s hair is growing back.]
[Randall and Randall’s wife (wearing a knit cap) stand on a beach, watching a whale jump out of water.]
Fwoosh
[Randall’s wife is sitting at a desk with her laptop standing on top of two books. Her hair has grown back a little more. Randall stands behind her.]
Randall: Hey—
Randall: you’re doing science,
Randall: and you’re still alive.
Randall’s wife: Yeah!
[Randall and Randall’s wife sit under a tall tree on a hill.]
Randall: It’s really only been two years?
Randall’s wife: They were big years.
[Randall and Randall’s wife sit at a table in a fancy restaurant. Her hair has grown back even more. The waiter (Hairy) brings them a dish with a cover on it.]
Waiter: Happy… Anniversary?
Randall’s wife: Biopsy-versary!
Waiter: …Eww.
