"You know, you're in your safe zone and you're moving into your safe house." " That's not fair." " Fair ?" "I don't need to be fair." "The other day wasn't exactly fair." "Hey, Cole." "Why the boy in the bubble outfit ?" "It's a homo bar." "We got protocols ?" "What he did was terrible." "It still doesn't validate their choice." "I don't think you choose something like that." "Are you planning to sleep with every nurse in the E.R. ?" "That's what you wanted, you know, see other people." "The boy hit somebody in the head with a lunchbox." "Take the kid to a full-on shrink." "My mom will give you the partners' rate." "Lights on third and acosto." "Left of the sternum." "Bp 116 over 72." "Eyes never lie." "You." "Big hole cards, right ?" "Why does Chris Ferguson wear sunglasses ?" "Because everybody is looking for the tell." "Come on." "Like poker's a science." "Come on." "It's about what you see." "Perception." "The thing in front of you." "It may be hidden." "Not obvious." "Suddenly, it's right there in front of you the whole time." "You keep checking when you make the nuts." "That is a rookie mistake." "Rookie mistake." "Clarity, Sack." "Keep your eyes open." "You'll figure it out." "Like this ?" "310s." "Whoo !" "Hey guys !" "Don't embarrass me." "Beer." "Sprite." "He's on antibiotics." "Hey, guys." "Next round's on me." "This time tomorrow, I'm gonna be on a cruise, throwing back frozen margaritas on my way to the Mexican riviera." "Hi." "Did anyone ever tell you you look like Ashton Kutcher ?" "What's the matter with you ?" "Can't you see he's a virgin ?" "You are a virgin, aren't you ?" "Wow." "Clarity ?" "What ?" "Poker is mojo." "Yeah, you think about it like that, and you will bust out every time." "All right." "That's more like it." "Fold." "5 to you." "You're first." "Checks." "There's a river." "All in." "And if I win this hand, you drive my transportation tomorrow." "Dump 'em." "What did I tell you ?" "Never say no to the mojo." "I think I got you." "N-n-no." "3 fives." "I don't think so." "I hit the nut flush." "Never slow play tricks, Sack." "You'll wind up with the transportation from hell." ""Never say no to the mojo." Wow !" "You gotta learn to read people." "I knew that guy was full of it." "Ok, next time I'll consult your book first." "You ok ?" "Claire called last night." "She has another job interview." "Wants to drop Cam off this afternoon." "She had to see his teacher again." "They might keep him back." "They're not sure what it is." "School thinks he might be slow." "You look like you pulled a double." "You want some caffeine ?" "Yes." "Thanks." "How you feeling ?" "You're pretty distended." "Oh, how much morphine do you use ?" "As much as I want." "Look, you're not one of those drivers who's gonna try and cheer me up." "Like having cancer isn't bad enough." "Yeah, you be careful, Tiger." "You got valuable cargo." "Tiger ?" "As in Woods." "You know." "The whole they all look alike thing." "I'm Mr. Hallon to you, ok, sweetheart ?" "I'm nobody's sweetheart." "You get that straight." "Tiger." "It's stuffy." "Can you turn on the air ?" "Where are we, the south pole ?" "I need another blanket." "Hey, maybe you can back up and we could go over that one again, Tiger." "Oh, what is that smell ?" "Listen up, this is our bus." "We're only transporting your sorry, whiny ass cause we lost a bet." "You open your mouth one more time," "I will shoot you out the back." "Before you know it, you'll be swimming in the willamette." "Bite me." "They'll never convict us." "Burke, I thought..." "Well, what about your trip ?" "Canceled." "Some people just have different priorities." "I'm sorry." "Well, maybe you could still go for a couple days." " Dr. Fish." " Alice, 16-year-old female, active hep B since birth." "Now with liver cancer." "She needs draining, you got time ?" "Sure, but she, uh, can't go to her doctor's office ?" "Oh, he's away for a month." "Late night ?" "Don't." "The hair's nice." "Daniel must be an animal." "He's out of town." "Appalachia." "Pediatrics clinic." " Racking up the medals?" " Yeah." "That's how he does it." "Sorry." "Crummy thing to say." "Thanks." "How we doing this morning ?" "Oh, terrific." "I get the narcoleptic ?" "Enjoy." "That guy's a dick." "Really ?" "Not so fast." " He's all yours." " This is lifeshield territory." "Smelly bill's box is over there." "N.M.R. Turf." "Somebody wheeled him over here." "Who would that be ?" "Gosh." "Let me turn on my detective brain, Kroll." " What should I do ?" " Nothing." "Roll him back." "I didn't roll him anywhere." "He's altered." "He's at 5150." "You have to take him in, but, ooh," "I'd recommend an air freshener or two." "Or 10." "Just because he's homeless." "He's entitled to some care, too." "You want him ?" "He's all yours." "Hey, fella." "Where does it hurt ?" "You got some spare change ?" "I could use a drink." "You better burrito wrap him." "Thank god I'm not a rookie." "Are you winner or a looser over there ?" "Today, I'm on a roll." "Thought you didn't believe in luck." "Luck is the result of design." "And you, I suppose, are the designer ?" "This wouldn't happen to be about Alice, would it ?" "Oh, man." "No, you didn't see her this morning." "Her tone of voice." "Her look." "The way she brushed her hand across my arm." "Oh, come on." "You on crack ?" "She's moving in with another guy." "She hasn't moved in yet." "She's on the fence." "Or she'd have done it." "Maybe she signed on for a long-term lease." "Or maybe she's reconsidering." "Just gotta play my hand right." "Hey, that's what I do for a living." "All this time I thought you were just some old paramedic." "No." "Just doing that for fun." "7- 12, respond to an M.V.A. at fifth and Milton." "Car pinned under a big rig." "Possible casualties." "Code 3." "Copy." "Fun, huh ?" " We need to get in there." " What's your hurry ?" "There's no way anybody can live through that." "Quiet." "Are you ok, honey ?" "My daughter." "Yeah." "She looks all right, mom." " Take it easy." " Ok." " We're gonna get you both out of here." " I told you, Wyatt." "Never say no to the mojo." "5-year-old female, car versus a tractor trailer." "Possible arm fracture." "Mom was driving." "Complained of neck and back soreness." "Refused treatment, signed an A.M.A. in the field." "She'll be ok ?" "Yeah." "She'll be fine." "She has a broken arm." "You can talk to her doctor." "No." "No, I mean her face." "Do you think there'll be a scar ?" "And you have to take a test to get a driver's license." "You all right ?" "I'll give you some topical anesthetic." "If you need a little something else, you just let me know, ok ?" "A new liver." "A good attitude wouldn't hurt." "Please don't ask me to be plucky because I am way past that." "Mm-hmm." "How long have you been a doctor ?" " Long enough." " Yeah ?" "You one of those classic overachievers ?" "Everything for your career, no time for anything else, like a husband, right ?" "I'm happily married." "I don't wear a wedding ring when I'm working." "Hmm." "Like when you're having an affair." "I knew you two would hit it off." "She has cold hands." "To match my heart." "Hmm, you giving her a hard time ?" "Yeah, what do you care ?" "She's not going to sleep with you if that's what you were hoping." "She says she's married." "Is that what she said." "But I think she's lying." "I'm very good at reading people." "Don't mess with her." "Oh, look who's being protective." "I mean it." "I could make your life pretty miserable." "Oh, yeah ?" "What does this look like ?" "Yeah." "Let me guess, creed ?" "Yeah." "Me and Scott stapp." "We're tight." "How much does an ambulance driver make ?" "Minimum wage ?" "Lucky for me I'm independently wealthy." "Oh, crap !" "It's smelly Bill." "Adult male, 36." "His vitals are normal." "But his feet has some kind of infection." "Something alive." "Get over there in the corner." "I don't want him near my desk." "Get the I.S.O. room ready." "Further back where I can't see him !" "So, she's a charmer, huh ?" "Transfer girl." "She has HCC hep with cellular carcinoma." "She needs a new liver, but she's nowhere near the top of the list." "And her blood type's hard to match." "I might be pissed off, too." "She said you told her that you were married." "Maybe I am." "Oh, and I didn't know ?" "Impossible." "You look tired." "You feel ok ?" "I haven't been sleeping." "Your husband snores." "Good night's sleep." "That'll help." "Or dinner with me." "Tonight." "Daniel will be back later." "Oh, just the three of us." "You want to have dinner with me." "If you're lonely, call one of your nurses." "I know you, Ally." "I know what you're thinking." "Even right now ?" "Really ?" "You, me, and Heidi Klum ?" "It was a joke." "What's up, Champ ?" "Hey." "Mom couldn't wait." "Can I go with you on the next call ?" "Sorry." "No more calls for you." "The finger thing." "Your mom wasn't real happy about that." "Did they sew it back on ?" "Yeah, they did, but they put them back in the wrong places, so they look kind of funky." "Why don't you find a quiet spot to do your homework." "I did it already." "Dad, am I stupid ?" "What are you talking about ?" "No, you're not stupid." "Not at all." "So why do they want to put me in the slow class ?" "Hey, look, I don't want you to worry about it." "Ok ?" "I'll talk to your mom." "You sure you don't have any homework to do ?" "Yes." "But I got my shark book." "The whale shark is the biggest one." "But his teeth go like..." "It's not supposed to look like that." "That nurse is trying to kill me." " I'm bleeding out." " No, you're not." "No, no, no." "He readjusted it." "He must have hit something like a blood vessel." "Is that what he did ?" "Lexi, you're going to be ok." "I need you to calm down." "Get her on a monitor." "Get I.V. therapy down here to access her line." "Stat." "Here." "A right up here." "Just don't look like it." "Whoa." "We're cool, we're cool." "Just make the next left." " You check the damn map." " Someone's cranky." "We're supposed to be first response." "Not last, not lost." "It's an internal GPS." "It's a thing." " I always know where I am." " I forgot." "Eyes don't lie." "You got x-ray vision." "All right, Lincoln street." "Make a right." "It should be the second house up." "Nice work, Carnac." "Hey, this is 712." "Dispatch, what is that address ?" "It's been 9 minutes, 712." "86 Lincoln avenue." "Yeah." "C.A.D. said street." " Semantics." " Left here." "Dude, whoa !" "What is the rush ?" " Do I tell you how to drive ?" " It's probably some little old lady who needs to refill her meds, and she's too cheap to call a cab." "Now I'm willing to die, but not for that." "It's because of me." "Cam's slow, it's my fault." "Wait a second." "No." "I was drinking the whole time." "That was my whole thing." "Right after I busted my knee up." "One-man party." "I made Claire come to that party." "You're getting way ahead of yourself here." "I looked it up." "Learning disability, short attention span." "He's a kid." "I have short attention span." "It could even be worse." "Because of me." "You're spinning, man." "You don't know anything." "Yeah, right." "And you do." "Cause you got x-ray vision." ""I was waiting a very long time." "I have taken a taxi." "Thank you."" "Lexi..." "I'm gonna keep an eye on you and run more tests to check your clotting, ok ?" "That was a lot of blood." "That nurse nicked a vein, didn't he ?" "Looked like a lot of blood, it wasn't." "You're not married, are you ?" "No." "It's just as well." "My parents... had this perfect marriage, but that's what happens when anything's perfect." "It just falls apart." "Nothing ever lasts." "I don't know if that's true." "Oh, that's another lie, right ?" "What, do you believe in the future ?" "Kids, marriage, all that ?" "You really think that you're gonna have something that lasts forever ?" "Do you ?" "I don't know." "I hope so." "When is the cute guy coming to take me back ?" "You have to wait for the results of your test first." "Which cute guy ?" "Please." "Ok, he has a major crush on you." "I don't think so." "Besides, I thought you said he was a dick." "Doesn't mean he isn't cute." "I can't believe we got called here again." "Oh... crap !" "And I mean that literally." "God..." "Thank you, Cam." " Remind me never to go near a great white, and if I do..." " Give up." "Cause they can swim up to 35 miles per hour." "I'm Wyatt's mother." "Dr. Victoria Cole." "But you can call me Dr. Cole." "Her friends call her Vicky." "You must be Sack." "Hey, you want to go see if we can find something to eat over here ?" "Wyatt didn't tell you I was coming here today did he ?" "Of course not." "Can we find a quiet place to talk ?" "How'd you get out of the hospital ?" "They gave me a taxi voucher." "Should I examine him ?" "Hell, no." "Get out of the wheelchair, Bill." "There's a mission down by the church, it's their turn." "I cannot walk." "Of course you can." "Get up." "Don't make me touch you !" "Hey, hey !" "I'm sick of you frequent flyers abusing the system." "You don't need a wheelchair, or a ride to the hospital." "You need a kick in the ass !" "Get your act together, scumbag." "You're taking time away from people who really need our help." "What ?" "What ?" "You want to put him in your car ?" "You, would you like to take a ride with this nice lady ?" "Yes." "Shouldn't we at least check his vitals to make sure he's ok ?" "What ?" "Where'd you get that, Bill ?" "Did somebody give you money ?" "Yeah." "Oh, for Pete's sake." "N.M.R." "Look at that number." "It's lifeshield's." "Kroll." "Nothing makes a mother more proud than to see her son clean blood and puke from the inside of an ambulance." "Every time I do it, I think of you." "And my fairytale childhood." "You want to know what I thought about your partner's son ?" "Ok." "Why should I tell you ?" "So, quid pro quo." "Your father's 60th birthday party." "A surprise party." "He hates surprises." "I know, but Robby is determined to run the whole thing, so you know how that will come off." "And Molly... well, let's just hope she packs her zoloft." "I'd like you to manage it." " No." " And make a video." " No !" " We could show it at the party." "People talking about the great Dr. Cole." "What an inspiration he is to the world." "He'll hate that, too." "But it has to be fun for me." "Otherwise, what's the point ?" "You could come for dinner one night." "Tuesday your father eats at the club." "You need a haircut." "Before the party." "What about Cam ?" "So, what did my mom say ?" "Thanks for telling me she was coming." "You're welcome." "A warning would've been nice." "She had a free hour, Cam was here." "You were afraid I'd stand in the way cause I'm ignorant black folk." "Yeah, that's it." "Fine." "I should've asked." "Yes, you should have." "Fine." "Are you gonna tell me what my mom said ?" "No." "Medics, 712." "Excuse me." "Is Angela around ?" "Um, she oughta be right back." "She's on a twinkie run." "Can I help you ?" "I'm Harper Sims." "I'm her partner." "Oh, yes." "She's talked about you." "I'm Rosie Shaw." "I'm her roommate." "I didn't even know she had one." "You know, she doesn't talk much about her personal life." "Man, what does she say about me ?" "No, you know what, don't... don't tell me." "I might not want to know." "She thinks you're sweet." "Me, really ?" "It's hard for her to show affection." "So what kind of mood is she in ?" "She's had better days." "You know, I think it's boyfriend trouble." "She's very jealous." "I told her she ought to cut the guy some slack." "That's good advice." "Um, sometimes, a woman needs a man's point of view on these things." "Angela's right." "You are sweet." "Maybe you should come over for dinner sometime." "Do you like italian ?" "Yeah." "That would..." "that would be great." "Great." "Put these away." "It was really nice meeting you." "Where's the patient ?" "There." "Teddy radioed down." "We think it's a heart attack." "Oh, where's fire ?" " They can bring in a helicopter." " You want to wait ?" "You got a better idea ?" "Read my thick lips." "No way." "You are genuinely certifiable." "You know what they say." "Acrophobia." "You got to face it." "Mouth of the lion." "All that." "Who wants to live their life cowering in fear ?" "That would be me." "Oh, nothing to worry about." "Just don't look down." "It's not the fall that'll kill you." "It's the ground." "Oh, that's comforting." " It's called sudden deceleration." " Would you just stop talking ?" "Hey, Teddy." "How you feeling ?" "Huh ?" "Are you short of breath ?" "Yeah." " Yeah ?" " Chest pain." "Only when you breathe, or constant ?" "Constant." "He has bilateral rales." "They don't make it too roomy up here, do they ?" "Lea ?" "Is that your wife ?" "Uh-huh." "You wrote this note cause you didn't think you were gonna make it, huh ?" "Why do you think we climbed all the way up here ?" "To check out the view ?" "You gotta get me down." "Piece of cake." "Hey !" "You guys ready to give us some help up here ?" "Come on !" "That's crap about fog coming in on little cat feet." "More like Godzilla feet." "All I care about is not running into anything." "Can you see what's on my right ?" "Beats the hell out of me." "How's it going back there ?" "Teddy's hanging in there, aren't you, Teddy ?" "Cancel that." "He just went into V-tac." "What was that ?" "I thumped him." " Sinus rhythm." "He's back." " Nice." "Dude, I saw that on TV." "Still got multl-focal PVCs." " How close are we ?" " I have no idea." "What do you mean, it's been 15 minutes." "Hey, you want to drive ?" "This guy's on a short leash." "Where's the hospital ?" "How the hell do I know ?" "Maybe I took a wrong turn." "I can't see a damn thing out there." "Don't tell me we're lost." "Hey, do me a favor." "I'm working really hard to save this guy." "Don't kill us before I do, ok ?" "42-year-old male, 250 pounds." "Operates a crane, complains of chest pain, with shortness of breath." "Pale, cool, diaphoretic." "Positive rales, pedal edema." "Angela ?" "Oh." "Oh, I was looking for you." "Mandy wanted you to have this." "She was little Miss Western America." "She couldn't sign it, you know, because of her broken arm, but it'll be worth something some day." "Wow." "Thanks." "Oh, and here's one for your partner." "Ok." "Everything came back fine." "You're good to go." "Until next time." "Well, anything you want me to tell your cute paramedic ?" "No." "I'll tell him myself." "What ?" "Driver chooses music." "I wasn't thinking about music." "Just as well." "I hate the fog." "It's like you're waiting for something to happen." "Something bad." "So, how long have you known Rosie ?" "Long enough to know better." "I mean, how long have you, um... uh..." "Have we been sleeping together ?" "2 years give or take a fight or 3." "Why, you writing a book ?" "Medic 327." "We have a 5150 at Portland and Maine." " Code one." " Again ?" "Man, I hate the fog." "50 bucks says that creep is sitting in his wheelchair, you think ?" "He's not exactly sitting." "Bill." "Get back in your chair." "You don't want to hurt yourself." "We are human beings, aren't we ?" "God's creatures ?" "Uh... yes." "I have a friend who has an apartment, and one of the rooms is vacant." "I'm sure he wouldn't mind if bill spent the night there tonight." "What ?" "Bill ?" "How would you like to spend the night in a nice, warm bed ?" "Cable TV ?" "They got, uh, Tivo ?" "Don't push it." "Come on." "My good friend harper will show you into our comfy limo." "You shouldn't worry about Cam." "I mean, look at this poor kid." "I'm not worried." "So what'd my mom think ?" "If it's A.D.D., there are meds." "She can figure it out." "White people are funny." "I swear, you think psychology is the answer to everything, don't you ?" "It made my mom a lot of money." "Got her on the Today Show." "Well... it isn't A.D.D." "Something else." "Learning disability ?" "Dyslexia ?" "Not exactly." "You're really not gonna tell me." "Boredom." "She said Cam's gifted." "That's the word she used." "Gifted." "She said he's just not getting enough stimulation." "She thinks maybe Cam should try another school." "You didn't screw him up." "It's not your DNA." "He's smart like his mom." " Funny." " Yeah." "What about that school you went to ?" " Westbrook ?" " Yeah." "Big, leafy campus, pool, science lab, languages, ew !" "He'd hate it." " Yeah." "Might grow up to be like you." " Yeah, exactly." "Happy for you, Sack." "I been looking for you." "Hey, we brought an M.I. in before." "Teddy d'Antonio." "Thought he was dying." "He wrote this for his wife." "I thought maybe you could, you know, give it to her." "Did you read it ?" "Yeah." "He says he's gonna miss the smell of her skin the most." "That dinner invitation." "Is it still available ?" "What about the good doctor ?" "Daniel can't get into Portland tonight." "The fog." "Never say no to the mojo." "Chinese ?" "No." "The place around here." "That's fine." "8:00 ?" "8:00." "It's foggy." "Yeah." "I like fog." "You can disappear." "I like to feel like that sometimes." "Just have a place where nobody can touch you." "Do you ever have that ?" "I don't need it." "Really ?" "You're lucky." "Um, can you give me my Ipod ?" "Ashlee Simpson ?" "People need to take her more seriously." "She is a genius." "You need to work on your musical taste." "So I can be like you ?" "'Cause you know grunge is dead, ambulance driver." "Paramedic." "I thought you could use a role model." "Yeah." "I could be Miss teen organ transplant, 2006." "I'll see you next week ?" "Yeah." "What ?" "You were gonna give up on me ?" "I didn't know he had a cousin." "But I'm always willing to do a favor for the paramedics." " Because you never know." " I thought you said..." "Thanks so much." "So the thing that I couldn't believe about working with your father is like he's just so assured." "It's like he never, ever doubts himself." "Is that a, is that a good thing ?" "It is if you're a surgeon." "Come on." "How's your mom ?" "You know." "Crazy as a loon." "When she's on her meds, she's almost like a normal person." "I always liked her." "She once told me that I reminded her of her first lover." "What is it about parents ?" "Like you love them so much, and you spend your life trying to get away from them." "At least you succeeded." "Yeah." "Hey..." "Ally." "I gotta..." "I'll be right back." "You know how people can be wrong about people ?" "In all kinds of ways." "You know, the first week or two," "I didn't know if this was for me." "But today... today, I realized that maybe" "I was sent here to be your partner." "As part of god's plan." "You know, to... help you see yourself..." "more clearly." "You don't mean what I think you mean." "What are we doing ?" "I don't understand." "Is that Kroll ?" "It's all part of god's plan." "Hey." "Teddy's letter." "Did you give it to his wife ?" "No." "I gave it back to him." "I thought he should decide what to do with it." "If it was me..." "I know what I'd write and who I'd write it to." "Wyatt." "It's funny, you know ?" "I used to know all your tells." "When you were happy, you'd cover your smile with your hand." "And when you were worried, you'd tap your finger." "And now ?" "I don't know." "They're more hidden." "If it was a big game..." "I'd probably check." "Um, you know, uh... after what happened... in the ambulance between us," "I just felt, so..." "I don't know." "Lost." "Confused." "I wake up sometimes in the middle of the night." "I feel like I'm drowning." "You're working too hard." "It's not work." "Today, lexi said that things that are perfect always fall apart." "I told her I didn't believe that." "She said I was lying." "She was right." "You don't believe that." "I know you think wanting to be safe is cowardly." "No." "I was just pissed when I said that." "But... there are things that you don't know... about me." "I know what I need to know." "We'll figure it out." "We can't." "It's too late." "Hey... that's just talk." "It isn't fair to you." "It isn't fair to Daniel." "I..." "I have to... close this door." "Please." "I need you... to let me go." "Ok." "So, I'll see you tomorrow, I guess, in the E.R." "Yeah." "Tomorrow." "Thanks to FRM Team for the transcript"
