Stella, Hawkes and others in “It Happened to Me”

Stella

I'm sorry.

Hawkes

I didn't tell anyone because I was embarrassed. I'm smart, educated, and I was duped. And it wasn't like John Simmons or even his boss, Martin Stafford. They just trusted in the economy, and it let them down. Me, I got greedy, tried to play with the big boys, and I got stung.

Stella

It wasn't greed, Sheldon. It's called optimism. You didn't have to sell your condo, you could've gone to the department, asked for an emergency loan.

Hawkes

I was living with more than I needed. I took the best offer while I had the chance. Unfortunately, it was before I had another place to live, so... I ended up staying with a friend, and... You know my biggest disappointment is that I may have to give up volunteering with the medical unit. With Angell dying, and then this money situation, volunteering was the one thing keeping me sane there for a while.

Stella

Don't you dare quit, you enjoy it too much, there are other options.

Mac

Hey, I've got an extra room. [smiling] It's not up for discussion.
