"I'm sorry." "That was unprofessional and uncalled for." " Do you want to talk about it?" " There's nothing to talk about." "It's been awhile since I've had multiple casualties." "You should have asked for help." "You had your hands full." "I was overloaded, that's all." "It happens to the best of us." "Do you remember that time you were third year, I think." "A double-decker bus hit a bridge and sheared off the top." " That was insane." " It was a little hectic." "A little hectic?" "Three gurneys in every space." "Everybody lost it."

" Can you see a possible CVA?" " Not now." "Ask Carter." " You took my spot." " What?" " In detox." " Meyers made him an outpatient." " After you convinced him." " We needed the spot for a pregnant" " But you're a nurse" " What?" "You're a med student!" " I'm sure he'll be admitted soon." " That's easy for you to say." "Did you find Lawrence?" " Yep." " And?" "And what?" "He had a meltdown." " That's a little melodramatic." " I don't know." "He's not the first to lose his temper in the heat of the moment." " Over a lavage kit?" " You know what?" "He's been doing this for 30 years." "He doesn't like the newer equipment." " I know you two are close." " What are you trying to say?" " He's acting a bit strange." " Yeah, he's eccentric." "But he's a great doctor." " Don't be defensive." " I'm not." "You don't like that I hired Gabe." "I did, so deal with it." "I repaired Ben's liver." "He's fine." " Any complications?" " We gave him some blood, but I expect a full recovery." "He got our blood, right?" "Just yours." "I couldn't use Aaron's." " Why not?" " It wasn't a good match." "But we have the same type." "But Aaron's had different antigens that could have caused a reaction." " I'm sorry." " It's okay." "The important thing is..." " ..." "Ben's gonna be all right." " Yeah." "Thanks." "Thanks." "Everyone's been here for hours." "Where were you hiding?" "I wasn't hiding." "I just didn't think it was so bad." "How's my teacher, Mr. Sutherland?" "I haven't heard." "What experiment were you doing?" "The wrong one." "What does that mean?" "Nothing." "What happened today, Howie?" "If you have any information, you should let me know." "It might help us treat Mr. Sutherland." "Do you promise to keep this secret?" "Doctor/patient confidentiality and all that?" "I can promise you'll feel better if you tell me the truth." "The right eye will be fine." "But glass sliced through the left eyeball and displaced the lens." " When can they fix that?" " It will be a difficult job." " Can I see?" " I don't think that" "Jeez-!" "Dad?" "What is it?" "What's wrong?" "We just have to wait for the specialist." " Is it okay?" " Mr. Perez, will you come with me?" " Where's he going?" " He needs to..." " They can't fix that." " I'm not a specialist." " The optho" " He's gonna be blind." " We don't know that" " He has a scholarship." " I understand." " The first to go to college." " He's worked very hard" " Mr. Perez, please." "It's important that you're here for your son." "He needs you." " Everything okay?" " Everything's fine." "It's Reggie." "Says it's urgent." "Reggie?" "For how long?" "Okay, I will." "Bye." " Is everything okay?" " Carlos is sick." "I need to go." " You do." "Go on." " Thanks." " Did they bring in Howie MacMurtry?" " Why?" "Tell her." "He caused the explosion." "The jocks talked me into it." "I switched the chemicals." "It was supposed to be a small, exothermic reaction." "A little smoke and a few bubbles, that's all." "But Mr. Sutherland changed the experiment." "This wasn't supposed to happen." " It was just a joke." " You son of a bitch!" " Sir?" " My son is blind because of you." "Nathan and his friends told me to do it." " You'll have to leave." " You're a liar!" " Get out of the way." " Security!" "It was an accident!" " Get off of him!" "Get up!" " Get away!" " You okay?" " Yeah." " He's not breathing." " Do we intubate?" "Let's get him to the bed." "Go, go, go, go, go!" "Get me a number 8 ET tube." "I need suction." " Thanks for pulling him off." " Just get the tube in." "Is he okay?" "Let's get him on a pulse ox." "All right." "I'm in." "Let's bag him." " No breath sounds." " Not pinking up." "Intubation was good, I saw the cords." " He's blowing up." " Subcutaneous emphysema." "You broke his larynx?" " Let's prep him for a crike." " It could be below the cricoid." " Let's trach him." " What about the tube?" " Pull it out." " Pulse ox at 81." "Heart rate's down to 50." "Amp of atropine." "Carter, blow some oxygen down there." " I'm not seeing his chest rise." " Pulse ox 76." " Run of five." " Get a crash cart." "I'm in." "Bag him." "I'm getting breath sounds." " Pulse ox up to 85." " That was a nice save." "Yeah." "I spoke to the plastic surgeon and he said your burns shouldn't scar too badly." "Right." "Well, um I'll check in later." "If you need anything, hit the buzzer." "I'm gonna have scars." "The new skin may have irregular pigmentation." "But it's only temporary." "How temporary?" "Six months to a year." "The plastic surgeon will know more." "I might look like this for a year?" "No, no." "Um it will take up to a year, but you may heal much faster." "Okay?" "How much faster?" "I don't know." "It'll get a little better each day." " You were lucky, Quinn." " You think this is lucky?" "I look like a hideous freak." "No." "No." "You look like like a girl who was lucky enough to survive a dangerous accident." "I'd rather be dead than look like this." " You okay?" " Peachy." "You did the right thing." "I think Mr. Perez might feel differently." "I saw it." "Mark." "We need to talk." "Howie, you all right?" "Yeah." " How's Mr. Perez?" " He's gonna be okay." "But not Mr. Sutherland, huh?" "I don't know." "A lot of kids thought he was a geek." "He'd mess up the experiments sometimes, but he did it on purpose just to make class a little more fun." "He was a really good teacher." "He might recover, right?" "Like a long shot or something?" "Like one in a million?" "Yeah." "I told him." "I told my father I was HIV positive." "Good for you." "He kicked me out." "You know, he might just need a little time." "He said I'm not his son." "I'm sorry." "At least he knows the truth." "Screw him if he can't handle it." "It might be a few days before I can get you into detox." " Should have made reservations." " You can be an outpatient." " Whatever." " You need help." "I need a real job." "I watched you here today." "You, the doctors, the cops, paramedics." "Everybody's doing something important and I eat paint." " You need to talk to someone." " I don't need a shrink." "See you around." " Can you speak to one of my patients?" " Go away, Dave." "You fixed that last guy good." "Real good." "This one's different." "I got a teenage girl who burned her face." "She's really depressed..." " ... and nothing I say is helping." " Really?" "About the hockey game, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to cancel." " Everything all right?" " Yeah." "Something came up." "So I can see." " What?" " Moods swings, haggard brow." "Inability to concentrate." "All signs of woman problems." " It's that obvious?" " If you've been married enough." "And I met her today." "I don't forget a pretty face." " You got any professional advice?" " What?" "From me?" "I'll diagnose any disease but I can't figure out women." "That's what makes them so irresistible." "But I do know life's too short to waste on regret." "I'll see you tomorrow." " Dr. Lawrence." " Yeah." " I got your films." " Anyone seen the pregnant woman in 3?" " No, sorry." " I think she left." "She was supposed to go to detox." "How's he doing?" "Chest is clear." "Setting at 98 on two liters." "I'd give him albuterol and I'll stop by tomorrow." " I had a question about DNA testing." " What about it?" "Sometimes we get single moms who have questions about DNA testing." "Can we do anything here?" "Yeah, we've got a kit you can use." "Just call my office." "Great." "Thanks." "He said my skin would be discolored." "The new skin will be sensitive to UV rays." "So you have to use lots of sunscreen." " So much for my tan next summer." " Your skin will look younger for it." "There will come a day when younger is better." "Trust me." "What about my hair?" "It'll be thinner." "But it will grow back." " How long does that take?" " Does it grow fast?" " No." " Well, you might have to wear a wig." "You could go blond." "It's true what they say." "Just be patient." "And if you have any questions call me or Dr. Dave." "Okay?" "Thank you." "Wow, you're good." " Thanks." " I mean really good." "You're welcome, Dave." " Chief." " You wanted to see me?" "No?" "I heard you had a question about my leg." "Me?" "No, not me." "I had a patient with a bad ankle." "Someone must have misunderstood." "Oh." "I see." "Well if you do ever want to know, you should just ask." "No problem." "But it's none of my business, right?" "No." "No, it's not." "If it isn't the lean, Greene fighting machine." " It was an accident." " That you caused." " Self-defense." " Oh?" " He attacked Carter." " Carter didn't crush his throat." " I want a formal apology to Mr. Perez." " Fine." "Something else?" "I didn't bring this on." "I'll try to do damage control but his family will be coming in." "They want a sacrificial lamb and right now, you are looking pretty woolly." "ER?" "Hey, Jeanie." "How's Carlos?" "Good." "No, Kerry left already." "Mark?" "Yeah." "He's right here, honey." "Jeanie, it's Mark." "Sorry I had to rush out." "He's better, he's just a little wheezy." "Tell Kerry I'll be late tomorrow." "Thanks, Mark." "Okay." "Gotta go." "Bye." "Hey, you." "Hey, big boy." "How's my favorite little man?" "How's my favorite little man?" " John." " Hi." "What are you doing here?" "Can I come in?" "If you want me to leave, just say so." "I don't want your sympathy." "I know." " Gabe?" " Hey, Kerry." "Is everything all right?" " I think somebody stole my car." " What?" "I never leave it unlocked." "Maybe I did." "I left the house in such a hurry." " Are you sure you' re on this level?" " What?" " Did you park on this level?" " Yeah." "Every day I park on four so I can get a space." "This is three." "What an idiot." "After a while they all look the same." "I swear, I'd forget my head if it wasn't attached." "Do you want me to help?" "No, thanks." "Please." "I'll see you tomorrow." " Okay, good night, Gabe." " Good night." "Subtitles by SDI Media Group"
