"If we awarded you the position of clinical director, how would you change the course of the transplant institution?" "Using the dead as our donor base is our best option today, but years from now,it's my hope that the living and animals will serve the needs of a much greater number of patients and create more successful results in the long term." "The risks to the living involved with this type of procedure, the public outcry in defense of animals ¨C for me to do my job correctly and well," "I'm going to need your complete support."

"I'll make this fast." "And you've got to understand -- this guy knows how to raise money big-time." "The board will be very impressed by that."

"What am I supposed to do with that?" "Mr. Evans... ... we do offer counseling services if you -- who received my wife's heart?" "I can't give you that information." "Can you give them my name?"

" My wife and kids were prepared " " I can only take what I'm given." "Another doctor wouldn't do this to me." "Another doctor wouldn't have done this to me." "I'm sorry,but I never said a lung reduction would cure you,Mr. Kozinski." "I just said it would buy you more time." "Dr. Jacobs' office." " Nathaniel." " August." " Good to see you." " You too." "Well...good luck in the interview." "You know,I've been disappointed about some of the comments you've made regarding my work,nathaniel." "I am afraid that you misunderstand my approach to this job." "August,I've taken almost every organ you've rejected over the last five years, flown them an extra five hours,and used them on patients that you would never accept, so,no,I don't think I misunderstand your approach." "In fact,it's quite the contrary." "Dr. Grant,I need some help!" " What happened?" " I don't know.He just passed out." "Check his oxygen." "How did bart's diagnostics go?" "Well,the cat scan looked pretty bad." "Pulmonary function tests,arterial blood gases indicate he's within range of a transplant." "Blood tests?" "The six-minute walk test had him in range." "Vancouver,the blood tests?" "Bart tested positive for hep "C."" "I guess we shouldn't be surprised -- these old guys,so many surgeries." "You probably all have it." "Right there.Good."

"I'm not so good at normal time." "Blood pressure's dropping.She's having arrhythmias." "Get an ecmo in here." "What's wrong?" "We're going to bring in a mechanical support for lesley's heart." "You said the surgery went well." "Lesley's immune system thinks that this new organ is a foreign invader, so we'll treat her with antirejection drugs,rest her heart for now." "For now?" "Well,we're gonna give it some time, see if we can reverse this,give her heart a chance to take." "Well,you got me on too much corticosteroid." "Well,your airway is severely blockeD.You need the lung relaxer." "My oxygen's all screwed up." "Bart,you also have hepatitis." "You're not surprised?" "I've been elbow-deep in another people's blood for 50 years." "We can still proceed with a transplant." "And if I were,uh,some other patient?" "I would tell you the same thing." "We'll transplant the lungs,and if we need to do the liver, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.Okay?" "I heard how our young fellow screwed up on his first heart recovery." "I wouldn't rush to re-transplant her." "Well,she'll die if I don'T." "I would watch and wait with that girl." "If you're gonna take over my position, you can't cut every time there's a problem." "Classify lesley walker 1a." "Alert the staff I plan to re-transplant." "What is it?" "We're gonna need another heart for lesley walker." "Dr. Bryan,3371." "Dr. Bryan,3371." "Oh,excuse me.I'm sorry."

"Never really gotten to know each other." "I know." "We should go out sometime." "You think?" "Let bygones be bygones." "Okay.I'd like that." "Kozinski's hypertension is out of control." "Blood count sky-high." "Right side of his heart is enlarged." "Bart's in worse shape than that." "All I can do is give the data to unos*****" "That's a load of crap." "*******I love bart as much as anybody else." "This is our call,kate,not a computer'S." "Nate,it is a computer's call." "Shut up,bill.We're not talking to you." "I'm just saying this is exactly why a system has been put in place." "Bill." "I " " I really like your shoes." "Thank you." "It's just like you -- all about rules,regulations." "What are you saying?" "You've always been a stickler for little things that make very little sense." "I hope you're not talking about our marriage." "I'm talking about you." "I didn't tolerate your infidelities." "Is that the little rule I was being a stickler about?" "I broke some promises.You broke them,too." "******" "You promised that you were gonna stop working." "You promised you were gonna stay home with thea." " I tried." " We needed a normal life." "Could you two discuss this another time?" "Yes.Absolutely." "And I'm sorry,bill." "Jessica,too.I'm sorry."

"I'll let him know." "Dr. Powers,icu." "Dr. Powers,icu." "What is it?" "Bart jacobs just removed himself from the recipient list." " I'll tell him." " No." "I will." "Did kozinski's surgery go well?" "Mary,would you give us a moment,please?" "The board called for my recommendation." "Truth be known,it's very difficult to choose between you and pena." "I flew all day and performed the recovery." "I didn't ask you to do that." "I sewed two perfectly good lungs into -  how did the operation go?" " Come on,bart!" "I can give you a few more good years." "Oh,please,the surgeries,the drug treatment -- not exactly good years." "All you ever cared about was extending life." "Now that you have a chance to benefit from that -- an extended life in the icu." "You have us to take care of you." "I've lived most of my life in this hospital." "I don't want to spend my death here." "I can do this." "I can make this work for you." "When are you gonna understand that none of this has to do with what you want?" "I'm not ready for you to go." "Help me up." "So,I,um,I talked to the board today." "I told them that I want you to,uh,take my place." "They approved." "Thank you." "Mary." "It's about time for me to go home." "That young girl." "If I were you,I'd just watch and wait." "Yeah.Just watch and wait." " Hey." " Hey." "I'm sorry I just walked in,but the door was open." "No,it's all right." "I just wanted to see how you were." "Oh,I'm fine.I'm fine." "Yeah,I know.It's " " I know." "Can I get you some coffee or tea?" "No,thanks." "You've really perfected the whole cardboard-chic thing." "I'm glad you appreciate it 'cause I worked my ass off." "You know that man you had removed from icu?" "Uh,his wife donated lesley walker's heart." "He came to me yesterday,and I stupidly gave him a hint " "I got the chairmanship." "So now I'm " " I'm head of the whole... you don't seem to happy about it." "There was this clemente rookie card over at henry'S." "He said it was perfect." "But I couldn't get there." "I didn't get there in time." "I can never be anywhere." "You need to take a break,nate." "I can't be away from the hospital." "I try to do other things." "I " " I try to be a father... a husband... collect a damn baseball card." "It's not easy to be you."
