"What was goingthrough your head?" "Nothingbut our strategic plan." "Your strategic plan." "No,our pla--the plan-to turn ten womeninto one patient." "But then only three showed up,and I- you turned them allinto patients." "I di-it made much more senseon paper,okay?" "Look,if we're gonna dothis together,you need to take it seriously and really pitch in,like a grown-up." "What's this?" "It's just me pitching in." "You are looking at our veryfirst summer retainer." "Who retained us?" "One ms."New parts" newberg, who now has 24-7 access to youby phone or by house call and guaranteedsame-day appointments,including all lab workand specialty referrals." "24-7?" "That woman will drive me crazy." "And that's whatit's gonna cost her... per month." "You're gonna be fine,benny." "I told him notto take this job." "Tu nunca me escucha." "Please,ma,not now." "You were supposed to be a vet,not a dog walker." "This is like being a busboyinstead of a chef." "How is that the same?" "You're right.Busboys get tips." "Mami,please,you're making my hand hurt." "Hank,you got a cure for this?" "Look,you're in great shape,benny,all right?" "If you haveany problems,just-you just call me." "Thank you,doctor." "Jill." "I was just visitinga friend."

"On a good day,very different." "I don't know.I guess evening your own family, it's rare to find a personyou really connect with." "Then you meet someoneat a party." "But you wonder if they seethe world in the same way." "You do?" "Yeah,I do.I mean... who are you,hank?" "Are you the guy whois lining up $2 million magnets for people who can affordto buy their own,or are you the guy who's making surethat the local dog walker doesn't lose his hand becausehe can't afford to save it?" "Well,why do I have to chooseone over the other?" "I mean,they both need my help." "But concierge doctorshelp rich people." "Isn't that the idea?" "Well,I may havea slightly different idea." "I really hope yournew business succeeds,hank,but..." "It has to succeedwithout my favors." "My job is to help peoplewho come to the hospital,not people who won'T." "Yeah,I'm sorry if I put you in an uncomfortable position." "In a way,I'm glad you did." "Yeah,why's that?" "I think it's cutethat we had our first fight before our first date." "Yeah,me too."
