Dr. RichardWhat are you doing here?
I love my work.
Dr. RichardYou ok?
Never been better.
Dr. RichardYou couldn’t stay away from me, admit it. [pinches her butt]
[startled] Don't you think that once you could pinch the left one?
Dr. RichardUh oh, say ah.
What are you doing?
Dr. RichardSay ah.
Ahhhh!
Dr. Richard[checking her throat] Yeah, I was afraid of this.
What?!
Dr. RichardWar addict. Hooked on adrenalin. Can't be cured.
Careful, it's contagious.
Dr. RichardShould have gone home, but you couldn't stay away from me, admit it.
Dr. RichardCan't be heaven, you're here.
Now I know you'll be alright.
Dr. RichardOw, I thought nurses were supposed to make you feel better.
Except doctors. Doctors we make miserable here.
Dr. RichardNow I'm miserable.
Dr. RichardLet's get into suits and helmets. You'll have to dress me.
You love saying that.
Dr. RichardTrue. I do.
I'm not leaving.
Dr. RichardLook, this is a live mortar, it could go. Two dead's enough.
What if it doesn't, huh?
Dr. RichardWell, then I'm a hero!
Without me?
Come on.
Dr. RichardWhat?
A drink
Dr. RichardIs that your solution for everything?
Yes.
What?
Dr. RichardA Little mix up, paper work problem, irregulations.
We lost one.
What?
Dr. RichardA body. We lost a body.
Did you look under the bed?
On my shift?
I never got it.
Dr. RichardAnd if he left the hospital where did he go? Surfing?
You notice I'm not laughing.
Dr. RichardI did not lose that body.
Who did?
Dr. RichardWell, you sent it to the check out counter.
Oh no, you're not gonna pin this one on me. You're the doctor, you signed the death certificate.
Dr. RichardDoctors are forgiven minor mistakes. Amputating the wrong legs, putting an appendix in instead of taking one out, diagnosing gun shot wound as the measles… we leave that sort of thing for records. But, losing a body that's something different… Bad for the resume, bad for the house payments.
I really feel for them
We all do; that's why we're here.
Yeah, I never thought there'd be too many men for me.
It's just simple economics ladies – supply and demand. When men are scarce, their value goes up. When they're plentiful like they are here, the market gets flooded.
There's no place for us to hide.
You know I hate myself for it but you know I've even thought - if one more guy comes up to me I'll just scream.
Dr. RichardLadies…
[The four scream]
