"No." "This is a good spot." "For tanning maybe." "Is this typical?" "I mean, to go for hours without a bite?" "Well, the only thing predictable about fishing" "Is that it's unpredictable." "Wow." "That's deep." "Yeah." "Why don't you ponder that for a while..." "Quietly?" "Ird squawks)" "Okay, I pondered it, but the thing is," "Is I don't agree with the basic premise." "Okay, assuming a lake has fish in it," "Which this lake does, and assuming that" "You're using the right baits and res, which we are," "You should be able to predict getting more bites tn, um," "Like none an hour."

"I'm going up to miller's office" "To tell 'em what idiots they are." "No, they're gonna call." "All right, now you're just being stubborn." "Yes, I am being stubborn." "I am stubbornly choosing to believe" "That sometimes people make sane decisions," "Like having minimally invasive surgery when it's available." "I am stubbornly choosing to believe that" "Not all people are evil and bad and leave me in airports." "Ings and buzzes) hmm." "told ya." "Good." "The shunt is in." "Secure it inferiorly."

"I need to be able to see the fluid" "To tell if there's an infection." "Well, I can tell by looking at it that it's not infected." "Just call radiology." "Look, if dr." "Bailey wants it put back in, then I will." "No, she's in surgery." "Well, then it'll have to wait." "Fine." "Okay." "You know, I'll" " I'll do it myself." "You're not touching that patient." "Excuse me?" "You have your list, but I have 12 years of experience" "That tells me that putting that drain back in right now" "Could actually put him at more risk for infection."

"I don't know." "Oh." "I don't know, but she has the right to figure that out." "You don't know." "Well, I know," "Because I know cristina yang." "And she needs to work," "Because surgery is who we are." "You told a guy with a gun to shoot you." "That is who you are." "What the hell does that have to do wi" "You-- you are fearless, and I don't mean that" "In a good way." "Most people don't tell the guy with the gun to shoot them." "Most people are like cristina."
