"That's new." "Oh, yeah." "My girlfriend gave me a watch." "Do you give a crap, or are you just hoping that by pointing out something new of mine," "I'll segue the conversation into talking about something new of yours, like..." "Your new prepubescent "Miami Vice" beard." "There are those who say I look like a young Kenny Loggins." " Who?" " Me." "Time to go teach the new interns." "They started a week ago, and they sucked!" "This patient's loss of temperature sensation on the contralateral side is consistent with which syndrome, Rodney?" "There was Katie, the self-centered climber..." "McConaughey's." "McConaughey's." "McConaughey is not a syndrome." "He is, however, one of our finest working actors." "I recently learned how I could lose him in 10 days." "Katie is sabotaging you, I assume," " because she knows the answer." " Brown-sequard syndrome." "Yay, Katie got it." "There was Denise, who could be a bit callous..." "You know..." "It's ironic that "cancer" starts with "can,"" "because at this stage, there's nothing we can do about it." "Let's take a walk, sunshine." "I..." "And there was Ed." "Ed, did you finish those case reports last night?" "Ah!" "I totally was gonna do it, man, but I was on this "Lost" fan site last night talking to this chick." "About an hour in, I realize it's a dude messin' with me." " I've been there." " Revenge time." "I signed up for a new account-- Hotgirl99." "I start flirtin' with this dude." "I'm like, "Oh, hey, I look just like Kate."" "And he's totally into it, right?" "Next thing you know, I got him to agree to a personal meet-up here in the hospital where he'll be holding a red balloon." " Wait a minute, you're Hotgirl99?" " Yeah." " The new interns all suck!" " Yeah, but I'm gonna handle it." "Like you handled Jimmy the overly-touchy orderly?" "Somebody looking for me?" "No, Jimmy, we're fine." "All right." "Let me know if you need anything." "Okay." "Have you noticed he only touches above the waist now?" "You're welcome." "You know, our intern class was the last good one." "You must've liked my class a little, seeing as you almost married me." "Mm, yeah, but hello, Keith, I didn't." "That was harsh, but no one cared because today we were meeting Dr. Kelso's replacement as Chief of Medicine-- Dr. Taylor Maddox." "She was smokin' hot, so first I had to see her like this..." "I wanna be your lover, baby, I wanna be your man" "I don't want no other, baby, want you again and again and I've waited all night long now I know what I wanna do" "I just wanna make love to you, come on!" "Yeah!" "Hi." "Hi." "But then I noticed how friendly she seemed." "She had the most infectious smile." "No one could resist it." " And I mean no one." " No." "Yes!" "Never!" "Here it comes!" " Clear." " Aah!" "Brava!" "Oh, yeah!" "Yes!" "You proud fool." "Okay, I'm gonna tell you everything you need to know about me." "One" " I have an open door policy." "Two-- if you do your job well, you're great with me." "Okay?" "And three" " I don't like spiders." "So if you see one, I want you to stomp it." "I want you to stomp it dead, okay?" "I don't want you to put it into a little cup and take it outside, because it'll just find its way back in, okay?" "They're sneaky." "Oh, can someone help that man to his room?" "Oh." "No, I-I'm not sick." "I'm just cold, and there were no chairs." "I'm" " I'm a lawyer." " Of course you are, sweetie." " I'm on it." "She's the new boss, Ted." "Aah!" "Does it hurt here?" "Or here?" "How about here?" "Or under here?" "Do I know you?" "Jimmy, heel!" "Slowly move." "Just slowly move." "Don't rush anything." "No, Jimmy." "Oh, Jimmy." "Breathe deep for me real slow." "I just wanna feel you breathe." "Yeah." "That's a boy." "That's a boy." "That's a boy." "Good." "Breathe on my face." ""My Jerks"" "Okay, time to connect with the new chief using a picture of my son and some brilliant acting." "Oh!" "Is that your boy?" "What's that?" "Oh, yeah." " His name is Sam." " I have a daughter of my own." "It's working!" "Now seal the deal with a follow-up question, but nothing too personal." "Did you deliver vaginally?" "I did." "Big girl." "Must've hurt." "Wow." "Hi, Mr. Hicks." "So you were admitted to the hospital" " with shortness of breath?" " Yes, that's right." "Okay, so I'm just gonna..." "Die!" "Die!" "Die!" "Sorry." "Spider." "Um, I'm just gonna take you up" " and get you a full-body scan, okay?" " Yeah." "And there she goes." "A chief of medicine working one-on-one with a patient?" "Maybe she's not so bad." " I think she's probably a jerk." " Why?" "That position attracts jerks." "Plus, well, I know jerks." "Hell, I married a jerk." "I divorced a jerk." " New freckle." " I'm interrupted by jerks." "Look, just give me two minutes with this Maddox, and I'll know for sure whether or not she's a jerk." "Well, go!" "Pass." "I know people are down on these new interns, but everyone's teachable, you know?" " Even Jo." " Who?" "I like to call Denise "Jo" because she reminds me of that streetwise, mannish girl on "Facts of Life."" "You know, Katie's cutesy and blonde." " You could call her "Blair." - "Blair" is stupid." ""Blair" is perfect, but now I can never use it in front of Turk, or he'll say 'You're welcome!" "' in that really smug way of his." "Okay, let's gather 'round for rounds." "Get it? "'round for rounds"?" "You can use it." "Our first patient is presenting with biliary colic..." "And, uh" " Ed, would-- Would you mind-- would you mind turning off the beeping if you're gonna text?" " I'll turn it off." " Thank you!" "Uh, upper right abdominal pain." "What's your diagnosis..." "Jo?" "I know." "Of course you do, Katie, because you know anything that anyone's ever asked you ever." "But I didn't ask you." "I asked Jo." "Well, the patient definitely looks like hell, so" "Quick side note-- When a patient's eyes are open, that usually means that they're awake." "Sorry, Mrs. Gallagher." "You look very beautiful today." "Doesn't she?" "Yeah, your jaundice makes you glow." "Yes, yellow like the sun." " Ed, stop texting!" " I'm not texting." "I'm looking at photos of Sienna Miller's breasts." "There's a difference." "Okay, well, do that more later, when we're together." "Jo, you were saying?" "I'm guessing Mrs. Gallagher probably has cholecy" "Cholecystitis." "She has cholecystitis." " I'm gonna cut your throat." " Okay, that's enough, Jo." " You, too, Blair." " Welcome!" "Damn it!" "If you want, you can call me "Tootie."" " I don't think it's racist." " Oh, oh, fine." "I'm Tootie, and I know how to go on the web and BitTorrent." "You probably shouldn't be texting while you're leading rounds." "I'm" " Oh, I'm-- th-- this is his phone." " It's not my phone." " W.T.H?" "!" "Oh, fine." "It's not your phone." "Hey, want a phone, buddy?" "No." "All right, listen, I want you to run some renal function tests on Mr. Hicks." "Can you do that, or do you have more questions about my vagina?" "Lie!" "No." "Hmm." "Dr. Maddox, I just wanted to say how excited I am to be working with you." "Katie is such a kiss ass." "You mean "mini-Elliot"?" "What?" "That's what everybody's calling her." "It's probably just because we are..." "Both blonde and have perky boobs." "Or..." "It's because she is incredibly whiny and self-involved, and you, Barboo, for the last year and a half or so, have been the most self-involved and whiny person in the galaxy." "What nobody understands about me..." "Point proven." "Thank you." "Okay..." "Mm, suck-up's back." "You're abrasive." "That's enough, Blair." " Welcome!" " Damn it!" "Okay, listen up, guys." "I gotta go take care of Mr. Hicks, so I need you guys to watch the floor." "Check every patient and switch out any lines that need changing." "Monitor Mr. Lombardi's blood gas, and intubate him if he starts getting acidotic." "Work as a team, you'll be all over it." "Let's have some hands in, okay?" "Somebody has some very soft hands." "I sleep in gloves." "Right on." "Okay, nobody die!" "Nobody die!" "Dr. Kelso..." "Now that you're retired, I can finally say this." "You, sir..." " Oh, I can't do it." " You'll get there, Ted." " What's with the balloon?" " It's been a sad day." "Can you even believe Dr. Cox?" "calling me whiny and self-involved?" "Elliot, you know how we're so close we can say anything to each other, right?" "Yeah?" "Look, over the last year or so, you've been going through a lot." "You got engaged." "You broke off your wedding at the last second." "It'd be easy for anyone to become a little self-absorbed." "What are you saying, Carla?" "This is why I come here every day." "You come here every day?" "Loser!" "My balloon!" "Mr. Hicks' renal tests came back negative." "Thank God." "See, Bernie isn't just a patient." "He's also my lover." "Really?" "No!" "He's fat, bald and ugly!" " Thanks a lot!" " Aah!" "Okay, just swallow your pain and fix this." "Look, Dr. Maddox," "I think you're a very well-built..." "Sturdy woman." "Like a shed." "No, not like a shed." "Like a..." "Naughty..." " Like it." " Structure." " Structure?" " I should go." "Ugh!" "Aah!" "Stop confusing me by being nice and giving me phones." "Fine!" "But why did you have to trip me?" "Let me answer that question with another question-- 'cause I wanted to?" " Ahem!" "Excuse me." " Yeah?" "Do you think it would've been funny if he had broken his neck?" "I feel like you want me to say "no."" " What's your name?" " Oh, boy." "You really are new here." "Uh-oh." " "The Janitor."" " Howdy!" "Oh, say, Beth, your patient Mr. Lombardi is about to crash." "How'd that happen?" "Well, sometimes when people get owies and they're left untreated, they become even bigger owies." "Hey!" "You guys are supposed to tube him if he got acidotic." " What the hell?" "!" " He's not my patient, man." "Uh, I-I was over there." "Now he's coding." "Crash cart!" "Sometimes just two words are enough to make your thoughts perfectly clear..." "So you actually agree with what Dr. Cox said about me?" "Whether you're being brutally honest..." "I do." "Or holding someone accountable..." "You're fired." "What about my son?" "That's my daughter!" "I'm" " I'm" " I'm" " I'm sorry." "May I see it again?" "Please?" "Aah!" "Eeh!" "Or apologizing for a major screwup." "We're sorry." "Yeah." "We'll-- we'll get it together from now on." "Promise." "But for some reason, I didn't want to hear it." "You know what?" "I'm done with you guys." "Hey, C-Bear, every time I see Maddox," "I get one step closer to ending my career." " Aw, you'll be fine." "Maddox seems cool." " I don't know about that." "I" " I just can't shake the feeling" " that woman is a complete tool." " You've been saying that all day." "Why don't you just go talk to her and figure it out once and for all?" "Nah." "Hey, aren't you supposed to be at rounds?" "Oh, they're driving me crazy." "Someone needs to send those interns to an internment camp." "Dude, internment camps are never funny." "I always forget that Turk is one-eighth Japanese." "Hey, can you give Mr. Hicks a full cardiac workup?" "Of course." "And what would you say if I said he was my lover?" "I'd know that obviously you were joking because you are way out of his league." "Oh, there-- there that is." "We're doing this." "Okay." " I like you the best." " Oh." "Thanks, mom..." "Ma'am." "Ma'am." "She's not your mom." "Well, she certainly doesn't think that I'm all about me." "I was just being honest." "I'd want you to do the same for me if I were doing things I might regret later." "Name one thing that I've done lately that I'm gonna regret." "Mmm!" " Oh!" " Hey, blondie!" " Ahh." " Show me your rack!" "No!" "Ooh!" "Yah!" "Oh, like that is gonna come back to haunt me." " What else you got?" " Well, what about the way you're always mocking Keith about not marrying him?" "You probably don't even realize how devastated he still is." "Oh, hey, ladies!" "Awesome day, huh?" "Awesome!" "Ugh." "I hope he'll pull through." "And now on to our next patient." "Let's go, bitches!" "Why is Dr. Squeaky Pants leading rounds?" "Where the hell is Dorian?" "Keith is not still devastated." "I mean, what the hell is Carla talking about?" " She's completely off base, right?" " I have to disagree with you." "You don't see my point at all?" "You don't understand." "I'm married to Carla, right?" "She has spies everywhere." "So I have to disagree with you." "I'm on to you, Rochelle." "Dr. Reid?" "May I talk to you?" "Ted, are you gonna talk?" "In a second." "I'm just waiting for the anti-anxiety medication to kick in." "And..." "There it is." "Hey, baby." "Yeah, Ted, I'm actually in charge of keeping a lot of people alive, so" "Carla's right." "Keith's a mess." "He hasn't been able to pull out of it since you ended things." " He's sad all the time." " Yeah, I don't see it." "Of course you don't." "No one ever wants the person who hurt them to ever see how badly they've been hurt." " Morning." " Morning." "It's amazing how the exact same question can have totally different connotations." "May I talk to you?" "May I talk to you?" "May I talk to you?" "I have to ask, when I fired you before..." " Did you think I was kidding?" " No, I knew you were serious 'cause I heard that you fired Jimmy the orderly." "What'd he do?" "Okay, this is where you keep all of the tension." "Do you mind if I do a yogi chant?" "It relaxes the muscles." "Ha, maya, maya, ma-ha!" " Do you feel that?" " Mm-hmm." "But that's just Jimmy being Jimmy." "You know, the incident yesterday with Dr. Dorian" "I swear to you that will never happen again..." "Even though he deserved it." " I don't know." " Come on!" "I've been here forever." "You can't just throw me out of the hospital." "No, but I can walk you out without you even noticing." "Well-played." " I need your keys." " Mmm." " Where are the rest?" " I got tired of carrying 'em all, so I made one that works on everything." "Watch!" "Huh?" "How about that?" "Come on." "Hit the highway!" "Thank you." "No!" "Keith..." "I just realized that I never really took the time to apologize for the way things ended between us." "I mean, I did say that I was so sorry right when it happened." "Remember?" "We were outside," "I gave you the ring back, you started crying and cr" "Uh, no need to recap, Elliot." "Right." "Look, I know this was my decision, so it was easier for me to move on, and, well, you know, make jokes and stuff." "I guess that I've been so self-involved" "I never stopped to think that you still may be hurting." "Anyway, I just wanted to really apologize..." "For everything." "Thanks." "It means a lot." " Hug?" " No." "Okay." "Why would you pass off your interns?" "I just" " I can't deal with them anymore." "Really?" "Because I had an intern just a couple of years back that I hated." "Honestly, he was so maddening that my therapist put me on a suicide/homicide watch." "Do I know this intern?" " Intimately." " I figured." "This is a teaching hospital." "You have to teach." "I know." "I'm just" " I'm" " I'm so tired of their attitude and I'm tired of their ignorance." "It's the same thing year after year." "I'm just..." "Tired." "Here comes the tongue-lashing." "Boy, I get that." "Why do you think I've been avoiding the new chief?" "Because if I do talk to her, and she is indeed a jerk, then once again, I'm gonna have to be that guy who gets in her face over every little injustice." "But you wanna know something?" "I'm tired, too." " So what do we do?" " I don't know." "Oh, my God!" "He's treating me like an equal." "Quick, do something equals do!" "Why would you do that?" "I don't know." "I thought equals shared coffee." "No." "So this intern that you mentioned..." "Earlier, I'm sure eventually he turned into a pretty amazing doctor." " Didn't he?" " Actually, it was a "she."" "It wasn't me?" "No, no, it was you." "It was you." " Hey." " We'll get there." "Okay, you get nice and comfy." "Dr. Reid gave me Mr. Hicks' test results, but they're locked in my briefcase, and I lost the key." "Allow me." "Mm, loving this thing!" "And..." "Here it is." "Hey, how come all you have in here is a smiley face button and a revolver?" "Well, one's in case I get sad, and the other one's in case I get really sad." "Well, see you tomorrow." "We'll see." "Ah." "Oh, Mr. Hicks' cardiac test results." " They're negative." " Hmm." "What do you know about that?" "Just like the 100 other tests we ordered for a man who's only complaint was shortness of breath." "I assume there's a nugget of a point buried in there." "Why you running that guy through the wringer?" "Because he's got awesome insurance." "He's 100% pure profit machine." "Ca..." "And might I add..." "Ching!" "I mean, I may even order an M.R.I just to see if he's actually stuffed with money." "In fact, I think I'm ordering one." "And since you cried about it, why don't you take him to radiology like a good little boy?" "[ # Catch My Disease # ] My head is a box..." "Sometimes it really sucks to do the right thing..." "And that's the way I like it" "So, please..." " You were right about me..." " Baby, please!" "And thanks." "Open your heart" " Don't mention it." " Love you." " I love you, too." " Catch my disease." "Trying to teach a bunch of jerks..." "Okay, when dealing with peripheral neuropathy, always think..." "Diabetes first." "Or once again, facing off with a jerk." "Look, you can't just bleed a guy's insurance dry just because you want to pay for a new x-ray machine." "Oh, will you shut up if I give you a key that opens everything?" "The more things change, the more they stay the same, huh?" "Hi, folks!" "If you need anything cleaned up, just give me a shout, okay?" "Sure." " Who the hell is that?" " I don't know." "I like him." "Interns, alright!" "You guys psyched?" "It's our eighth year." " Who's with me?" " Yay." "Come on." "I know it's tempting to just mail it in, but there's still a lot of people who rely on us week to week." "I think we owe it to them to be as inspired as we were in our first few years." "Now I know we never do great come medical awards season..." "Except for Dr. Shalhoub." "He wins everything." "But I still think we're as good as anybody else out there." "The Nielsens' certainly beg to differ." "Oh, they're just upset 'cause their insurance won't cover a private room."
