"Would you want to go and get a proper lunch?" "Uh... no, I can't." "I've got a bunch of attending interviews." "Cool." "Is it?" "I'm not so sure." "I'm supposed to know things and have goals, and how could I have gotten this far in my life and have no idea what I want from my life?" "Sorry." "I'm rambling." "And self-absorbed."

"I thought I was gonna miss the city, but I don't." "So, uh, when I left County, you were still doing emergency medicine." "Yeah, well, I saw the light." "Are you looking mainly at academic positions or community hospitals?" "Uh, uh, I don't know." "Uh, both, I guess." "Mm-hmm." "And are you hoping to focus on trauma surgery, or are you open to elective cases, as well?" "I'm open." "And, uh, do you have any research areas?" "I haven't really figured any of that out yet." "Not really the sort of thing one says at a job interview." "No." "But I appreciate the honesty." "So, is Lucien helping you?" "Helping me with what?" "Figure things out." "(pager beeping)" "Uh, sort of, but not really." "I-I don't think County's really in my future." "County's an amazing place." "What I learned there..." "It was a very intense period in my life."

"Hey, at this point, removing the source of infection is our best option." "You mean taking out my gall bladder, right?" "Let's finally get you better, OK?" "Hurry up, I'm getting sick of you people." "I'm gonna go call your mom." "Hang in there, Ana." "I'll check on you in a little while." "Don't you want to hear your fortune?" "I'll be back soon, I promise." "Rasgotra:" "When their way doesn't work, and your way doesn't work, you've got to accept defeat." "Or... find another way." "What about percutaneous drainage?" "Maybe the pus re-accumulated or she developed an abscess." "Not likely." "Less anesthesia, lower risk, might still allow us to remove the nidus of infection." "Okay, then what?" "We switch her to synercid, watch her in the Picu, and..." "Fine." "Set it up." "I'll meet you in the picu in ten." "Really?" "Yeah, you're almost an attending." "I need to start listening to you." "Rasgotra:" "Ray, happy birthday." "No, I didn't forget." "Geez, man, I've never heard of someone being so psyched to turn 30." "I'll call you back later, OK?" "Big wave surfing, car chases, dragon slaying" "I've done it all." "Neela, Dr. Dubenko says hurry." "He's in IR with your girl." "I'm not getting a good look at the spleen." "Sam, will you hand me the DPL kit, please?" "Are you serious?" "We don't do DPLs any more." "It will give us a fast answer and spare him the radiation." "Ten blade, betadine, and lido." "Come on." "I'll give you a hand with that." "Here you go." "Thanks." "Hey, listen, you know those Hawks tickets that we bought?" "Yeah, what about 'em?" "Well, the game's coming up, and, um, I was thinking maybe I could take Alex, if you were cool with that." "Taggart:" "I don't know." "Well, he loves hockey, and... it'd give us a little guy time, give you the night off." "I'll think about it." "Morris:" "Fluid's pink." "What's that mean?" "it means you have internal bleeding and you're going to need an operation to repair the injury." "Wow." "Well, we got it in time, so we're gonna be able to fix everything up." "Morris, let the O.R. know, OK?" "Dubenko's waiting for me." "NPO and check the crit Q30." "What the hell was that?" "What was what?" "Gates following Sam around like a puppy in there." "Guy does not know how to play it cool." "Dr. Morris." "Come with me, it's important." "Sorry, Ana, I got stuck in the ER." "Dubenko:" "There, that's the liver." "Good." "Aspirating." "Sats up to 92." "Wow." "What?" "A lot of purulent material here." "You should go;" "I don't want you to be late for your interviews." "I can't leave in the middle of this." "It'll be hours before we know anything here." "Go and mingle." "All the top trauma programs will be there." "Flush." "If you say so." "And when you've weighed all your options," "I hope you decide to stay." "What?" "Assistant professor-- full benefits, research and admin time." "You'll get an official offer letter in a few weeks." "Lucien." "Whatever happens, you got a backup plan here." "I don't know what to say." "Shut up and go." "Gates:" "Wow, look at you." "Where are you going?" "Bunch of job interviews." "I'm late." "Good luck." "Hey, um, did our dream runner guy make it to the O.R. yet?" "No, the beds were full; he's next." "Will you do me a favor and repeat the ultrasound, making sure you stay ahead of the blood loss?" "Yep." "Hello, Neela." "You're back." "I'm, uh, so sorry." "I'm late for these interviews and I have to get the train." "I can't believe this." "Yeah, I had the guy replace all the chrome..." "Do you mind if we borrow your bike?" "You know, surfing, barbecues, all the usual January stuff." "Bastard." "Still, I missed this dark, cold, miserable place every day." "Really?" "And what, exactly, did you miss?" "I don't know." "It wasn't the weather or, uh, my apartment." "It wasn't even the job really, although, there is a certain surgeon-- am I, uh, am I boring you?" "I couldn't seem to get her out of my head." "You, doctor... need to go." "I do?" "Oh, I do." "You're going to kick ass in there, Neela, I know it." "Simon, I missed you, too." "A little." "O.R. is going to be another hour, at least." "All right." "You just did that ten minutes ago." "I know, but I promised Neela I'd check again." "I don't feel so good." "He looks pale." "Don't you think he looks pale?" "Gates:" "All right, Sam, hang two units on the rapid infuser and please call the O.R. again." "What?" "What is it?" "So the next thing you need to do is come visit Durham." "Can you really see me living down south?" "It's a lovely city." "It's much more cultured than you'd think." "Simon." "How'd it go?" "Uh... very well, I'd say." "Uh, Simon, this is Elizabeth Corday, chief of trauma surgery at Duke;" "and Simon is an ER attending at County." "Nice to meet you." "Neela, give me a call when you've thought about things and we'll talk details." "Take her out for some champagne." "That sounds like you killed it." "I don't know, you spend all these years scrambling for the privilege of becoming a doctor." "It feels crazy to be, you know, wanted." "Well, get used to it." "What's this?" "Second unit's up." "Banfield:" "I'm in, call for a vent." "Introducer." "45 minutes till they can give us an O.R." "That's too long." "We'll never keep up." "Well, what choice do we have?" "Sam, get a second infuser." "I'll hang an IJ." "I've got the subclavian." "We'll dump in the blood and the FFP until the room is ready." "Nick, hang on, OK?" "I need you." "Oliver needs you." "Taggart:" "V tach, no pulse." "You're charged." "Mig of epi." "All right." "Clear." "Units 11 and 12 are up." "Clear." "Morris:" "No change." "Resume compressions." "Please, baby, don't do this." "Okay, enough." "Sterile sevens and a thoracotomy tray." "I cannot bear another one of these right now." "Another what?" "What are you doing?" "A room shortage is a stupid reason to die." "I will clamp the aorta and fix this myself, if I have to." "Well, all right." "Where are you going?" "I have to go to the hospital and check on a patient." "You are kidding." "Have one of the interns do it." "Just stay here;" "I'll be back in an hour." "And don't say it." "Say what?" "You know what." "I told you so." "Aah, it keeps slipping." "Try a bigger clamp." "The heart's barely filling." "(Banfield grunting with effort)" "(phone ringing)" "I got it!" "All right, run in another litre and shock him again." "All right." "Gates:" "Clear!" "Sounds like you guys could use a surgeon." "Back in sinus." "Hallelujah." "(weeping):" "Thank you." "After I ran into you, I came back and checked." "He was bleeding out." "Another five minutes, it could have gone the other way." "This isn't a done deal." "Okay, well, let's get him upstairs while he's still got a pulse." "(sighs)" "Hey, Tony." "I'm sure Alex would love to go to that Hawks game with you." "Thank you." "Any time." "Get some sleep, Ana." "No more 2:00 a.m. Guitar Hero with the clerks." "I'll see you in the morning." "Don't you want to hear your fortune?" "Sheila:" "it can wait, honey." "She's been awake for two days." "Yeah, go home already." ""Your actions are the seeds of fate."" "Not exactly a fortune-- more of a theory, really-- but I'll take it." "Dubenko:" "hey... you never did my fortune." "Pick a colour and a number between one and ten." "Good night, guys." "Rounds are at 7:00." "Okay, green and six." "G-r-e-e-n." "One, two, three, four, five, six." "Open this?" "Subtitles by WGBH" "Uh, this one's crooked." "Yeah, so's this one." "Sorry, sir, that one's broken." "(rattles the contents)" "Can you hear that?" "New Crunchy Nut Bites" "Delicious golden cereal baked with crunchy nuts and chewy caramel."
