"I mean, your flash-forwards helped us piece it together." "If you hadn't told us what you saw, you might have died on the table." "It's pretty cool." "I wasn't afraid, because I didn't need to be afraid." "The future saved me." "Uh, Ned's crit is-- is stable." " Look, about earlier, I, um" " Yeah," "I was completely out of line." "Yeah." "But you were also right." "I just didn't want to see what was going on with Ned... 'cause of what's going on with me, so..." "Look, I-I-I get it." "It's what's happening with me." "That's what made me believe him." "Mm-hmm." "Bryce, I haven't pushed you 'cause you didn't want to talk about the..." "Me standing on the pier with a gun to my head?" "I just want you to know that I'm here... if you want to talk." "Thanks, Dr. B., but, uh, I'm gonna be all right." "You really think you're just okay now?" "I know I am." "The future saved me." "Oh, uh, Dr. Benford?" "Hey." "I need you to sign the discharge on the rollerblade guy" " so I can roll him on out of here." " Sure." "Oh, and, uh, Dylan Simcoe's white count spiked to 19." "Here's his C.V.C." "He was transferred to physical therapy." "Can you give it to his attending?" "The chief transferred him back." "What?" "P.T. said they couldn't handle the antibiotics, so the chief put him back on your service." "Are you okay, Dr. Benford?" "Yeah." "Fine." "(door closes)" "Hey, Nicole." "(chuckles)" "Uh, Charlie's just upstairs changing into her P.Js." "All right." "Um, we did some finger painting, and she's all done with her homework, and, uh, we kicked around a soccer ball, too." "Oh, and she had ants on a log for a snack." "And how are you doing?" "I feel bad for disappearing on you." "Eh, everybody disappeared for a while." "Some people aren't even back yet." "I guess I'm just trying to figure out why you guys didn't fire me." "Nicole, you're part of the family." "Hey, what's the matter?" "You want to talk about what happened?" "You can, you know." "I saw someone drowning me." "What?" "I saw someone drowning me... in my flash-forward." "(whoosh)" "I saw someone drowning me, and I don't understand, but I-I felt like I deserved what was happening." "Like I had done something wrong, and there's no other way out." "I saw the man's face who was doing it." "He pushed me back down, and..." "And then I was just gone." "(whoosh)" "(voice breaking) What did I do that..." "I think I deserved getting killed?" "You don't know exactly what you saw or even how you felt." "What kind of person doesn't care they're being murdered?" "Nicole, I've known you a long time." "You didn't do anything wrong, and you won't." "Tomorrow, I'm gonna have a detective friend of mine from the L.A.P.D. come talk to you." "We're not gonna let anything bad happen." "I'm gonna do whatever I have to... to make sure you're safe." "All right?" "That person you think you saw..." "That person you're worried you might be, that's not you." "Do you think you could try to believe that?" "Yeah." "I can try." "Good." "CHARLIE:" "Hey, daddy." " Hey!" "Come here, you." "Oh!" " Moons Over Miami." "You in?" " I'm in." "All right." "Let's get started." "Are you staying?" "Um, you know what?" "I have to go." "She's staying." "Breakfast for dinner?" "Can't beat that." " Come on." "Please?" " Sounds great." " Get cracking the eggs, Professor." " Okay." " Can I have a bowl, please?" " One bowl coming right up." " Okay." " Here." " (laughs) That's silly." " Here we go." "Okay." "(giggles)" "Gamanta, McGillicutty... frog leg!" "(gasps)" "Do you want the coin back?" " Yeah!" " Say the magic words then." "DYLAN:" "Not again." "LLOYD:" "Are you ready?" "DEBBIE:" "See you tomorrow, Dr. Benford." "Good night, Deb." "Gamanta, McGillicutty," " frog leg. (gasps)" " There you go." "Do it again!" "Just once more!" "I think my junior magician has to get his strength up before the next trick." "How about some dinner?" "Okay, Dad." "I'll be right back." "Uh, you're the, um, the eye of newt soup, right?" "(groans)" "All right." "Chicken, it is." "(cell phone rings)" "Yeah?" "We need to talk." "Yeah, well, I can't right now." "Well, I'm truly sorry about that, Lloyd, but talking to me is just one of those little inconveniences you're going to have to put up with." "Now that we're responsible for the single greatest disaster in human history."
