" It'll be easier for everyone." "So it's an ongoing thing?" " You think this is a one-night stand?" " I don't know." " What floor's this pulmonologist on?" " Fifth." "I like her." "She makes me happy." "Sorry if that makes you unhappy." " I didn't say that." " But she'll be gone soon and I'll be back on your sofa." "Then we can both be unhappy." " How many has she slept with?" " I don't know." "Both have been going to sex parties." "My God!" "At their age?" "I can't tell her parents." "But she's a minor who needs surgery." "Maybe she'll let me tell them." "I know what you're doing, but this is a public health issue." "At least one of those boys is spreading HPV." "And the girls at those parties need to be examined." "So you also need to call the school." " Did you see two girls here?" " They went out that door." "Damn it!" "Excuse me?" "Yeah?" "I'm Barbara Knight." "I'm looking for Dr. Greene." " He was here just a minute ago." " Or maybe Dr. Weaver?" "She was here too." "Right now, I'm all you got." " I need to find your lounge area." " People don't usually wait in there." "No, I just need to check my daughter's locker." " I'm sorry." "Your name?" " Barbara Knight." "I'm Lucy's mother." " I don't have the combination." " The med school gave it to me." "Thank you." "I've checked into the Ritz-Carlton." "I don't need that." "This is unnecessary." "They have a lovely view." "Now I have a meeting." "Stop it." "At our ages, there's no reason for us to be living together." "You say that as if we ever really lived together." "I love you." "But I swear, at times you can be insufferable." " Me?" "I can be insufferable?" " What exactly do you blame me for?" "I don't blame you for anything." "Then stop acting as if you do." "So I wasn't the conventional mother." " What about your father?" " It's not about Dad." "No." "It's about what I couldn't provide." "Fathers aren't blamed for working too much." "Mothers are blamed if they work at all." "Should you have a child sometime, will you give up your work?" "I don't know." "I don't know if that's gonna happen." "Then I'm sorry I set you such a terrible example." " Technetium?" " Yeah." " Any signs of bleeding?" " No." "Why'd you order a scan that I said was unnecessary?" "Maybe it's a nursing instinct." "But the guy does not look well." "It's winter." "Nobody looks well." "And medical students don't order tests." "It wastes your time and his money." "Cut him loose." "Abby, if Benton calls, get me." "I'm gonna grab something to eat, okay?" " I thought you weren't on." " I'm not." " Have you called the police?" " What?" "I'm not done yet." " Call them now!" " Get out of my way!" " You're not leaving!" " Leave me alone!" "What's wrong with you?" "!" " Get off!" " You left her!" " I don't know anything." " You hit her and left." " I don't know anything." " I saw you, and I can identify you!" " It was an accident." " And you just drove off?" " I was scared, okay?" " So was that little girl!" "I panicked." "I've had a couple DUIs." "But I wasn't drinking today." "I didn't know what to do." "But you knew enough to run away, huh?" " Is she here?" "Is she all right?" " You don't have the right to ask." "Maybe I was just being a hypochondriac." "No, you were right to come in." "And you'd be right to come back." "Well, thanks." "I'll keep an eye on it." "Say, in 15 minutes, if you're feverish or sick to your stomach, get that checked out." "But you just saw me." "It may not be me again, but somebody would..." " ... and they'd examine you thoroughly." " Are you saying I'm not okay?" "I'm just saying that it's been an awfully bad flu season." " You wanna take a break?" " No, I'm okay." " That's enough for today." " Hang on." " You did great." "I'll get" " I can do it!" "I just wanna get back to my room." "Dr. Carter?" " What are you doing here?" " We need to talk." " You promised, you bitch!" " You need to come in." " You said there were rules." " I know, but I can't." " You lied." " To both of us." "It is a lot more complicated than that." "Your health is in danger." "And other girls could get infected too." "Now everyone's gonna know everything." "Andrea?" "Andrea!" "So we'll have to reschedule the bowel resection for 4:30." "Hello." "Sorry." "I didn't mean to surprise you." "Certainly not twice in one day." "You're here for your appointment?" "I've already been." "Got poked and prodded and x-rayed." " Damn doctors." "No offense." " None taken." "And I'm sorry if my presence offended you this morning." "I was just- Well, you said it." "Surprised." "I didn't mean to make trouble for you two." "Oh, no." "None that wasn't there already." " And why is there trouble?" " Mothers and daughters, I suppose." "You don't own the whole ranch on that one." "Let's save a little corner for fathers and sons." "But I will admit mothers and daughters are worse." "But that's just a woman thing." "The only problem with children is they grow up to be adults." "Yes, eventually we have opinions." "I know." "But do you have to express them?" "It's a learned response." "I'll give you that." "I suggest the four of us go out sort of bury the hatchet." "Mark thinks it's a great idea." "He doesn't." "He will." " Abby didn't discharge him?" " He's back with abdominal pain." " BP's 80/60." " Hang a unit on the infuser." " What happened?" " I began a rectal." "He started gushing." "It's a bleeding tic." "Get four units, call O.R." " I already did." "I'm in." " Okay, hook him up." "Thank God he came back in." "Chicago wasn't her first choice." "She wanted San Francisco." "I took her when she was 8." "One ride on a cable car and it was her city." "Although she grew to love this one." " You don't need to hear all this." " No, it's fine." "I really just wanted to stop by and thank you." "Lucy always talked about you how she was first assigned to you." "She had a lot of respect for you." "And you must've taught her a lot." " She worked with all the residents." " I know." "But you're the one she used to mention." "But she- She loved her work." "She was better than I ever gave her credit for." "Can I ask you something?" "Yes." "When you were" "Well, when that man stabbed you, what did you think?" "No I mean, what did it feel like?" "It happened really fast, and I didn't know what was going on." "But I didn't feel a thing." "No pain?" "No pain." "Did you get that venogram I ordered two hours ago?" "I had a CT -guided biopsy." " You gonna get it?" " After my embolization." " Does that mean tomorrow?" " With that attitude." " Did you read a CT on David Greene?" " Who?" " My father." "He came in for a scan." " Check the pile." "That's a big stack." "While you're at it, read a few plain films." " Or you could work a few more hours." " Don't start." " ER guys want wet reads yesterday." " Here we go." "ICU orders portables for every feeding-tube placement." "You think you have high volume in ER?" "I get high volume from the hospital." "Hey, Mark?" "You okay?" "That's your dad?" "Yeah." "Wow." "I'm sorry." " He didn't say where we're going?" " Just an address." "It's the "wear jeans" part that's scaring me." "Mother has no jeans." " I don't know if I want to see her." " Right." " I wish we could face them together." " Yeah." " Are you all right?" " What?" " You're down to one-word responses." " I'm sorry." "I've gotta finish up." "I'll meet you there." "All right." "I'll see you." " What'd the school say?" " They'll help." "But the girls saw me." "They didn't listen this time?" "No, they ran away." "You did the right thing." "I'm still gonna call Andrea later." "Your hemorrhoid patient's in the O.R. They're doing a laparotomy." " I heard." "Is he gonna be okay?" " He should." "He's got a bleeding diverticulum." "It's pretty lucky that he checked himself back in." " I'm gonna go check on him later." " Good." "You were right." "There was more wrong with him." "Just a gut feeling." "He could've bled to death if he hadn't come back." "Well, it's a good thing that he felt fluish." "That's exactly what he said: "fluish. "" "Mrs. Williams, Laura came out of surgery very well." "The nurse will take you to see her, if you'd like." "Thank you." "Both of you." " I was out of line before." "I'm sorry." " I understand." " You fixed her hepatic vein?" " Atrial-caval shunt." "She should be fine." "You saved her life." "I'm not so sure." "You had to open her chest to fix my mistake." "We had to do it anyway." "The liver was life-threatening."

"You're right on schedule." "All right, give it to me." "First, there was probably coffee in the cafeteria." "Then dinner in a nice but well-lit restaurant." "Then, maybe a sporting event." "And tonight's jazz." "We all know what happens after the jazz." "When did your brain lose its filter?" "I think you took it out in the O.R. last week." " Here." "Let me help you." " I got it!"

"What did you do?" "Let's give her charcoal now." "It's an interesting game." " Don't worry, you'll get it." " A martini would help." "That should do the trick." "Loosen you up." " You want anything?" " No, thanks." " What's keeping Mark?" " He'll be here." "I hope." " Do you know how to keep score?" " Not a clue." " But you're learning American games?" " One by one." "At least I'm trying." "I think that's rather adventurous of you." "That meeting I was running off to earlier I missed it." " First time that's happened." " I think it was." "Just couldn't be bothered to go." " Went and sat by the lake instead." " I bet that was freezing." "The only thing colder was the conversation we had this afternoon." "Elizabeth, I know I'm not the mother you wish you'd had." " That's not exactly true." " I keep hoping that you'll forgive me." "The problem is you never wanted forgiveness." "There's the rub." "Mark's dad says children shouldn't have opinions." "Yes?" "Well, he's absolutely right." " I'll take over, Connie." " Sure, thanks." " How are you doing?" " Okay." "I had to tell the school so other students could get tested." "But I haven't told your parents." "Or Terri's." " You haven't?" " I was hoping you would." "If it happened to one of them, wouldn't you want to know?" " That was ugly." " Am I penalized?" " It's just a little dent." " What?" "There's not a little dent." "I'm kidding." "Hey, hey, Mark." " What kept you?" " Oh, nothing." " Hi." " Sit down." "Have a drink." " My ball's stuck." " You broke it." " Press the button." " We'll work you in next." "No problem."
