Matt quotes from 7th Heaven

Matt

It's a mistake, Dad. A big mistake. I mean, I love you, but if you don't show up at my wedding, I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive you.

Eric

And, if you convert tomorrow, I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive you.

Matt

So, we're at an impasse, both of us refusing to give in to the other. I wonder which one of us will win, or if we'll both lose.

Eric

You still planning on getting married?

Matt

Yes, are you still planning on not being there?

Matt

Sarah's father has worked it out so that tomorrow, before Sarah and I get married, I can convert, and I'm gonna do it.

Eric

What? I thought you weren't going to address this issue until later--maybe when you and Sarah had children, or after I was dead.

Matt

Look, I have my reasons, and I'm ready to do this.

Eric

You can't seriously think that in less than four months, you've studied and researched Judiasm, a religion that's thousands of years old. Well enough to convert!

Matt

Well, I've been going to temple with Sarah and her family every Saturday since Sarah and I got engaged, and I've been attending conversion classes, and--

Eric

[sarcastically] Oh, why, I didn't know that you've been to temple 15 times and taken some classes. Well, why didn't you say so? Of course you're ready to convert! [pauses] Just for your information, converting just for marriage is wrong.

Matt

You can't call off my wedding, and you can't stop me from converting. Dad, you have to let me live my life.

Eric

Okay, live your life. Get married. Just don't convert.

Matt

I know this is not about religion. This is about you not wanting to let me grow up, but...

Eric

Oh, no, this is about religion. I don't want you to convert! And just so you know, it's not because you want to convert to Judiasm. If you wanted to be any other religion, I'd have the same reaction, and not because I think that our religion is better, but because you can't make a decision as big as changing your faith this quickly! And if you weren't getting married, you wouldn't be thinking about it, would you?

Matt

Dad, you can't stop me.

Eric

Are you really gonna do this tomorrow? Convert?

Matt

Yes.

Eric

Then it'll have to be without me.

Matt

I'm sorry, but I think I just heard you tell me you weren't coming to my wedding.

Eric

Maybe if I don't go, it'll give you some pause, and you'll rethink your decision.

Matt

I can't believe you'd do this to me.

Eric

Someday you'll thank me.

Matt

You're assuming that someday, I'll be talking to you again.

Matt

I guess I'm stronger than the pill.

Sarah

Let's hope not.

Sarah

I'm stressed out from school and this is the last thing I need, a health problem.

Matt

It's going to be fine and it's funny your referring to this as a health problem.

It's a classic indication of obstructive lung disease, and it...Miss Glass, welcome. Mr. Simon here has a long-standing history of asthma. He presents today with increasing SOB.

Sarah

SOB?

No, it's not an epithet.

Matt

Uh, shortness of breath.

Well, thank you for interrupting, Mr...Camden. Why don't you listen to Mr. Simon's lungs and tell us what you hear.

Matt

I've lost my bag.

Your what?

Matt

My stethoscope -- it was my black bag. I must have left it in the subway.

Wow, you have a black bag.

Okay, anyone willing to help out our poor Mr. Camden? Oh, look. No one else left theirs on the subway. On second thought, you may need those. Uh...Nurse Kelly...

Yes?

Would you be kind enough to lend our Mr. Camden here your stethoscope for the day?

No.

Don't worry, I'll make sure he gives it back. Consider it your contribution to medical education.

Find me when you're done. Okay?

Oh...[stammers] Doctors are a lot like boy scouts. They're expected to be prepared and on time. Understood, Miss Glass? Mr. Camden? Mr. Camden?

Matt

Uh...bilateral exploratory wheezes with rails at the right base?

Brilliant.

Write this down, Mr. Camden. Turn off phone. All right, the lab is down the hall. Time-stamp your requisitions. Curtains three, four, five. Psych patients are stored next to bed eight. Try not to lose anybody

Sarah

What's the problem?

Matt

I can't turn it off

Sarah

Why?

Matt

It won't turn off

Then, get rid of it. Trauma rooms one, two, three

Do we get to work on traumas?

No. Are you getting all of this Mr. Camden? Main desk, Dr. Sterling. This is one of our residents, Dr. Lisa Sterling. Dr. Sterling will assign you your patients. You're expected to do histories and physicals, draw bloods and gather lab results.

Okay. Drawing blood, room three

They look like little vampires

Ouch!

Sarah

Sorry

No, never say sorry. It's a sign of weakness

Is it all right to say ouch? Ouch! How about getting a nurse to do this?

Matt

Uh, I'll give it a shot

All right, Mr. Adams, if Mr. Camden here can't get it on the first try,then I'll do it myself

I thought the nurses drew blood. Do you even remember how?

Tourniquet. Prep the area

Matt

Got it. Bevel up 20 degrees immobilize the vein and...

Hey, you drew first blood. I hardly felt it

Good job. Make sure it gets to the labs

Hey doc, can you get this guy to do all my tests?

The rest of you guys need to practice

Not on me

Sarah

You going to tell them
