"And if anyone tries to steal anything, let them take it." "Remember" "Wait a minute." "Bulletproof vest." "I'm supposed to wear this?" "Remember to stay clear of the cabinets while we're moving, and sit down." "Great." " Mr. Jennings?" " Yes." " I'm Jeanie Boulet." "This is Dr. Doyle." " Hello." "How is Sophie?" "Is she all right?" "She's in extremely serious condition." " Has your wife been depressed lately?" " The past few months." "Sophie's gotten so weak she can barely sit up now." "She won't talk to her friends." "I have to beg her to eat." " Does she take anti-depressants?" " They don't help anymore." "We found a significant level in her blood and urine." "We think she attempted suicide." "I've been praying." "What to do, how to help her." "But she's been praying to die." " Susan!" "Welcome back!" " Dr. Lewis, how are you doing?" "Good." " Hi, Dr. Lewis." "Welcome back." " Thank you."

"You're gonna be fine." "I didn't know what to say." "I didn't want to upset her before surgery." "Patient should've been told the truth." "Which could've upset her, and we may have had to delay surgery." "Good instincts, Carter." "Go in and look after her till we're ready." "Dr. Benton, I've got a diaphragmatic hernia scheduled in two hours." "Are you free?" " Yeah." " Good, because I have a conflict."

" Anyway, how are you?" " I don't want to talk about it." "Pretty bad, actually." "Kerry's got Anspaugh wrapped around her finger." "He loved her project." " He wants me to do one on pus." " Pus?" "Not to mention the fact that he's practically given her the one and only tenure slot." "So I have no career, no future." "You know..." "Really, I don't want to talk about it, okay?" "Sure, Mark." "Whatever." "So you hungry?" "We can get something to eat at Doc's." "I ate the whole way home on the train." "So there's a Halloween party tonight at the Jazz Note."

"Here you go." "This is helpful right here." "You've got your gauze, your penicillin..." "When was this stuff stocked?" "Look at this. "Expiration: 1989"?" "The Healthmobile's from Southside, remember?" "Their budget's even tighter than ours." "Do you get the feeling he doesn't care about us?" "Carol, what are you doing with a physics book in your backpack?" " It's not mine." "It's a friend's." " You borrowed it for late-night reading?" " Very funny." "Give it back." " Oh, man, look at this." " Doug!" " I'm getting flashbacks!" " You two ready?" " Yes." "Thank you, Gus." "We're ready." "Welcome to Gonorrhea Land." "This is truly depressing." "Yeah, it's like County on a slow night." "Here's your first customer." "Come in." "All right." " What seems to be the problem?" " Where are the cookies?"

"This morning, she was different." "Smiling like she used to." "She wanted me to comb her hair, help her with some lipstick." "Then she looked at me and said, "I'm ready. "" "She begged me." "I counted them out." "Crushed them up." "Put them in some milk." "I held the glass to her mouth." "She said, "I love you. "" "And the next thing you know she's asleep." "But I got scared called the ambulance." "Her whole life, she helped me." "I wasn't strong enough to help her." "I can't lose her." "I can't." " Can I help you?" " Yeah." "Do you have those animal things that pediatricians use?" "Pocket peek-a-boos." " I don't know." " Maybe the beanbag bunnies?" " We also have dinosaur pencils." " Those are my favorites." "Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus, Dimetradon..." "Just the paper." "So Dr. Keaton got you down here buying props?" "No, I'm just down here looking around." "She sends down all Residents who don't much like kids." " I like kids." " Sure you do." "We all like kids." "Bears are playing Tampa Bay this weekend?" "Hardly need to watch that one." "Tyrannosaurus rex?" " Debby, your lungs are clear." " Thank heavens!" "I'm always so worried about germs." "Don't I know you?" " No, you don't." " Are you sure we haven't met?" " Yep, I'm sure." " I know, it was at the Club 99." "Right?" "Debby, you're done." "Got it?" "I was just kidding around." " Anyone else out there?" " Only about 20 or 30 more." "Oh, my God!" "It's stuck!" "Please, help me!" "Hang on!" "We're not equipped for a stabbing." "Call an ambulance!" "Help me!" "It hurts!" "Give me some gloves!" "Larger!" "Give me larger." "Trick or treat!" "That's not funny." " Where's my treat?" " You know, we're all out." " Can I get a couple of condoms?" " How old are you?" "Eighteen." "Why don't you come back when you're 15." "Screw it." "My dates don't like them anyway." "Wait a minute!" "What's your name?" " Charlie." " Charlie, you working the streets?" " What do you think?" " I think you're at risk for AIDS." " Where are you living?" " In a penthouse on Lakeshore Drive." " Be careful out there, all right?" " Thanks, old man." "Susie was so cute." "She thinks the word for cactus is "ouch. "" "So we'd go on a walk, and she'd point everywhere going, "Ouch, ouch. "" " Jerry?" " I've called Maintenance four times." "They're working on it." "Maybe it's the ghost up on the fifth floor." " Not you too." " It's a true story, Mark." "He's up there." " Still pining for the woman he loved." " I thought he broke her heart." " Broke his own heart is more like it." " How do you know this?" "Because that's the story." "It was Halloween night, the 1930s or something, up on the fifth floor." "There was rain and thunder and lightning." " He was a doctor, she was an intern." " She loved him, didn't she?" "But a wealthy, handsome patient had fallen in love with her and asked her to marry him." " What did she say?" " She didn't know what to say." " So she told the doctor." " What did he say?" " He said nothing." " I thought he loved her." "He did love her, but he just stood there." "He couldn't get the words out." "And then, after she walked across the room, she turned back and looked at him." "She put her hand to her lips and blew what would be their first and only kiss." "They say it blew through him like a rush of cold wind." " That is so sad." " What happened?" "Unfortunately, the doc fell out the fifth-floor window, so that's kind of it." "I'm sure they worked on him in the O.R. for a while." " John, have you seen Benton?" " No." "Not for a couple of hours." "He's got me pulling journal articles on Dieulafoy's lesions." " What?" "Never heard of it." " Here's your chance." "No, thanks." "Dr. Keaton." "Hi." " How is she doing?" " Pretty well." "Pressure's 100/75." "Her kidney's still working." "I'll stay with her until she comes out of it." " I thought you had a lot of discharges." " They're done." "Mostly." "Call me when she wakes up." "I need to tell her about her father." "Dr. Keaton, I think I need to tell her about her father." "It's none of your business." "I'm just curious." "If you're thinking about medical school..." "You're done." "It's just a physics class, which I doubt I'll make it through much less go to medical school." "Doc, we've got a guy staggering out here." "Help!" "Help me!" "Move!" "Move!" "Move!" "What is it?" "Call 911." "He's been stabbed." "Set up an IV." "Did anybody see what happened here?" " Did anybody see what happened?" " No, man." "Look out!" "I couldn't find an angiocath, but I got an 18-gauge needle." "Jab it into his antecubital vein, and tape his arm down." " Come on, buddy!" " Okay, I'm in." "Tape this down." " What's wrong?" " We got company." " We're losing him." "I'll do a cutdown." " Out here?" "We gotta get more fluids in him." "Got a scalpel?" "Anything sharp in there?" " No." " Anything sharp!" "Here, use these!" " All right." " Hey, doc!" "The ambulance will be here in 15 minutes." "He won't make it that long." "How fast will that go?" " Faster than waiting for the ambulance." " Let's do it!" "Come on, let's go!" "Mr. Jennings." "I need to turn off the monitor now." "Time of death: 8:53." "Would you like to stay with her for a while?" "Thank you." "What I did..." "I don't know if it was right or wrong." "She was in a lot of pain." "But our whole marriage it was never about giving up on life." "This is not who we were." "You stayed with her." "You helped her when she needed you." "I think that's who you were." "Got an ETtube." "I can't find a laryngoscope." "I'll have to go in blind." "All right, Gus, you've made your point!" " You wanna get there, don't you?" " He's tubed." "Give me the ambu-bag." "Right here." "Hit it." "All right, we're in." " What are you doing?" " Putting him in Trendelenburg." " I'm having trouble." " What?" "My ambu-bag's got a leak." "I need some tape." " Thanks." " Yeah." "Dr. Keaton asked me to tell you the trick-or-treaters are waiting." "All right, thanks." "I have the articles when you want them." " Did you write the post-op notes?" " Yes." "Good." "If you can, pull the drains on the pyloroplasty." " Why are you riding me?" " You're an intern." "I bust my ass, and you give me a mediocre evaluation." " Most interns do mediocre work." " I don't." " You could do better." " So can Carter, so can everyone." " You have to do better." " I have to do better?" "Is that because I'm black?" "Is that your message here?" "Let me ask you something." "When you applied to med school, did you check the box "African American"?" "I worked just as hard as everyone else to get in." "That's not what most people think." "They assume you checked the box for preferential treatment." "They assume you exist to fill a quota." "To prove them wrong, you have to work twice as hard to be twice as good." "Think I need you to tell me that?" "We understand each other, so we don't have a problem, do we?" " Did you check the box?" " No." "Maybe you should just tell people." "That way, you won't have to go around, keep proving it all the time." " Hi there." " You stayed." "You did really well." "You're going to be fine." "I wanted to talk to you." "I have something I need to tell you." "About my dad?" "Yes." "He died, didn't he?" "Is that it?" "Yes." "What do we got?" "Knife wound in the abdomen." "Needs a lap." " Let's get him to the O.R." " How is it out there?" "I'm going next week." " No big deal." "Real smooth." " Bring cookies." "That's it." "Have a good night, Gus!" "Know what?" "I'm not gonna say anything about that physics book." " It was probably a stupid idea anyway." " If it's what you want to do..." " If I can make it, anybody can." " Thanks." " Going to the Halloween party?" " No, can't make it." "I hear Haleh's really good." "Yeah, she is." "I heard her sing last Christmas." "That case with Mr. Jennings today..." "When I saw him watching her and holding her hand I kind of saw what their whole life had been." "It made me wish that we could save her just so that we could save him." "What do you mean?" "He's alone." "Left with all the pain." "She fell asleep in her husband's arms." "I'll see you." "Dr. Greene, I'm going to remind you one more time." "I'm on my way." "I'll take Susan with me for protection." " Protection from what?" " The ghost on the fifth floor." "Why do we have to go up there?" "A guy corked off." "I have to pronounce him." "You're not scared, are you?" "Of course not." " Mark?" " Susan?" " Good, you're still there." " Where would I go?" "Hey, slow down!" "All right, that's it!" "Come on, we're going back." "It's past your bedtimes." " Please, can we go to one more floor?" " Yeah, one more floor!" " Be a sport, Peter." " Yeah, be a sport, Peter." " Nurse "Ba-jerk" would let us." " Bjerke." "And, yes, I would." "All right." "Look, we'll go to the ER, but that's it." " Mister!" " What?" " I have to pee, bad." " Oh, man!" "The rest of you just hold hands until I get back." "Don't move." " What do you think we are?" "Babies?" " Just don't move." "Come on." " Do we really have to do this now?" " We could wait until daylight." "He'll only have been dead about 10 hours." " Oh, my" " Next bed, doctor." "Sorry." "You're not scared, huh?" " Did you just feel that?" " What?" " You're going to think I'm crazy." " Feel what?" "I swear to you, it was just like a rush of wind went through me." "You are crazy." " Oh, boy!" " Did you feel it?" "No, I didn't feel anything." " Oh, boy!" " You felt it, didn't you?" " Dr. Carter?" "Did you tell her?" " She knew." "She said her father had been with her during surgery and had kissed her goodbye." "Kids know." "It's as though their parent's spirit joins them, and they just seem to know." "Yeah, I knew." "My brother died of leukemia." "I was riding my bike home from school one day." "I just knew that he'd died." "It was like he was with me." "I could feel him." "Maybe that's why you're good with kids." "See you in the morning." " Hey!" "Where are those kids?" " What?" "The kids." " I don't know where they went." " Hey, come here!" "Come on." "How could you just let them go?" "I looked up and they were gone." "Check the ER." "I'll call upstairs." "Boo!" "Come on, Lily." " Riyadh is like a bake oven." " Sounds bad." "But Norm would mix these desert cocktails." "Equal parts potassium, sodium, with a lemon chaser." "There she is, just sucking up to him a little bit more." " Mark..." " Disparaging and belittling me." "She's tightening her grip on that tenure slot." " What's the problem?" " She's making everything so competitive." "You're a doctor, you love competition." "You're just getting obsessed." " I am not." " All right, a little myopic, then." "What?" "Your wife divorced you, you hardly see Rachel." "This job is all you care about." "I just spent a week where no one was stabbing anyone in the back." "I could just drop everything, take a nice, little walk with Susie." "The big decision of the day was what to have for lunch." "There's other stuff out there, Mark." "I know you don't have it now." "I just hate to see you get so caught up in that." "What are you doing here?" "You said you weren't gonna move." " You found us, didn't you?" " We could've lost you, if we wanted to." " Let's go back up to the ward." " Didn't you ever go trick-or-treating?" " Yes, I've gone trick-or-treating." " What did you go as?" " One time, I went as a scientist." " Bet no one gave you any candy." "See, when I was your age, we had to do tricks to get treats." "Bet you can't do one now." " Yeah!" "Do a trick!" "Do a trick!" " Do a trick!" "Do a trick!" "Shut up, all right?" "Just one." " How was that?" " That was it?" "Hey." "Sorry I'm late." "They say those trains run every 10 minutes, but I don't believe it." " You never change, do you?" " What?" " One unbelievable excuse after another." " Look, I said I'm sorry." "Of course, I never changed either." ""Hang in there, Jeanie." "Carry this marriage by yourself." "Don't think about where he is tonight, who he's with. "" "What's wrong?" "A man came in today and sat there and watched his wife die." "And he helped her to die because she was in so much pain." "And he loved her." "But we didn't have that kind of marriage, did we?" "We didn't love." "We didn't cherish." "We didn't respect!" "And now you've killed me!" "This drink is strong." "I think I should've eaten something." "We should've grabbed something before this." "Yeah." " You want to" " Go ahead." " You want to" " Go ahead." "You're probably too tired after your trip to dance." " Kind of, but..." " Maybe later." "I guess I'm up for it."
