[Music]

we now return to the post Roe versus

Wade Brady Bunch

Greg Marcia get down here you two are

such a handful uh-huh I'm getting some

steam picking up steam here Scotty you

better look out I don't feel so well uh

kind of bad timing but Jim hey Lois that

not Stewie kid fell over oh my god he's

unconscious

peanut what happened yeah you know me

Lois I don't pry

Peter he's not moving we gotta get him

to the hospital you got it Lois

ten a Peter rang just for the record I

was at the hospital for a brief moment

mrs. Griffin it's a good thing you

brought this child in why is he okay I'm

afraid he's very sick

in fact his lab work shows he's

suffering from Hodgkin's lymphoma oh my

god are you saying Scottie has cancer I

don't know I didn't read the whole

Wikipedia entry but the good news is

that what he has is highly treatable

with radiation first and if necessary

chemotherapy oh for God's sake look do

you have any idea how expensive medical

school is no I don't well it's probably

pretty expensive Lois we came as soon as

we got your call

Oh hope Ben I'm so sorry to have to tell

you this but Scottie has cancer we know

you do yes we're aware of his condition

but you shouldn't have brought him to

the hospital without talking to us first

why wouldn't we bring him he was

unconscious he clearly needed treatment

oh no he doesn't receive treatment what

we're Christian Scientists we don't

accept medical care for ourselves and we

don't permit it for our children but

your son has cancer

wait a minute Christian Science is it

he's at that thing all I'm Gabe Oh

Hollywood actors do to keep the Estelle

away from other guys but don't you

understand

Scottie needs help and he'll get it

through faith that's right we will heal

him with the power of prayer let them

walk out of here oh I think they'll be

back how about that keys no they're my

keys

Key Grammar Structures

• Greg Marcia get down here you two are such a handful uh-huh

  ➔ Imperative mood, Pronoun usage, Determiners

  ➔ The sentence uses the **imperative mood** ('Greg Marcia get down here') to give a direct command. 'You two' is a **pronoun** referring to Greg and Marcia. 'Such a handful' uses the **determiner** 'a' to quantify the difficulty they cause.

• Oh my god are you saying Scottie has cancer

  ➔ Indirect question, Present continuous tense (implied)

  ➔ The sentence is an **indirect question** ('are you saying...') rather than a direct one. The verb 'has' implies the **present continuous** tense, suggesting the diagnosis is recent or ongoing.

• but you shouldn't have brought him to the hospital without talking to us first

  ➔ Modal verbs (shouldn't), Perfect infinitive (have brought), Gerund (talking)

  ➔ **Shouldn't have brought** is a **modal verb** construction expressing regret about a past action. **'Have brought'** is a **perfect infinitive** showing the action is completed. **'Talking'** is a **gerund** functioning as the object of the preposition 'without'.
