[about Clemente] He's kind of hot.
AbbyI thought you had a boyfriend.
I do, but he's at war and so are my hormones.
AbbyWe should take a core temp.
I'm not sticking anything up this monkey's ass.
AbbyYou know, if I had a nickel for everytime I said that.
AbbyIs this a gang shooting?
Guy used his daughter as a human shield.
AbbyOh, lovely.
Yeah.
...Mad about something?
Abby[angrily]) What do you think?
Yes. But I didn't need to go to the debriefing-
AbbyYeah, I don't care about that!
What are you talking about?
AbbyI'm talking about you and Clemente! And... whatever is going on between the two of you! If you want to get into a pissing match with him, that's fine, just leave me out of it!
He was wrong!
AbbyAnd that's the most important thing, isn't it? He was wrong, and you were right. [pause, tearfully] And while you were arguing about it, the little girl died. As if she hadn't suffered enough. [pause, Luka stares at her] God, she was ten years old, Luka! And he had her for months! And, I just... I just cant-stop-thinking about what she must have gone through, and how afraid she must have been... and I can't stop thinking about why we couldn't save her! I just...
[She breaks off. Luka watches for a moment, then approaches, takes Abby's face in his hands, and kisses her.]
Today was so... terrifying... and amazing. There was no labs, no x-rays, no rapid infusors or cut down trays, just me. Maybe it's the adrenaline, but I feel high. I need to go back out.
AbbySounds like I need to call for a psych consult.
Abby[arguing with Neela trying to get her to stay at the hospital after smoke inhalation] Is there anything, anything I can say to get you to stay?
I don't think so.
AbbyI slept with Luka!
Yeah, nice try.
[indicating the discussion between Weaver, Kovač and Clemente] Yo, Frank- que pasa?
I think they're talking about you.
What?
Weaver kickin' their butts is my guess.
Yeah, she's gonna kick their butts right out of here if they don't stop yapping at each other.
Isn't one of them gonna be the new E.R. chief?
My money ain't on the nosebleed.
Nosebleed?
AbbyYou miss just about everything, don't you?
So what happened?
AbbyWell, meet Glenda, my altered drunk head lac. While you guys were jerking each other off, she was busy bleeding into her head.
AbbyDr. Kovac.
[grinning] Dr. Lockhart.
AbbyLuka, there's something not right about Glenda.
Hey, that sounds like a movie: "There's Something Not Right About Glenda", like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," shaky camera and stuff.
AbbyMorris.
AbbyHow was your little sit-down with Weaver this morning?
Ah, she was telling me and Dr. Clemente how charming we are.
AbbyOh really?
What, you don't think I'm charming? [grins]
Abby[grins] I think you're extremely charming. I just also think that...
[Glenda interrupts with sudden movements]
Whoa. Ah... She was telling us that we have to get along better, you know, be better impression to our residents and be more agreeable.
AbbyHm. Well, that's a lot to ask.
What, you don't think I'm agreeable?
AbbyI think you're agreeable, yeah.
[smiles] Yeah, you still think I'm full of sh... [Glenda smacks Abby in the head]
AbbyOw!
AbbyWas that Jodie?
How do you know her name?
Abby'Cause she calls Frank about eight times a day, and I talk to her about three.
That's great.
AbbyMust have been- your fly's down.
Abby...Okay. I don't know how to say this...
What?
AbbyWell, it's just that these past three weeks- you know, I- I really couldn't have imagined it better!
[confused, but not disagreeing]...For me, too.
AbbyYeah- and I haven't laughed so much or felt so good in a really, really long time. And I don't want to do anything to ruin that.
Hey! You won't, I promise...
AbbyLuka...
Yeah?
AbbyAh, man! [looks away]
What?
Abby[looks back at him, apprehensively] I'm pregnant. [Luka stares at her in amazement]
AbbyWhat if I can't love it right?
Abby...
AbbyMaybe I'm not strong enough.
Being a parent makes you stronger.
AbbyAnd, it breaks your heart. You told me that.
That's not what I meant. [referring to the children he lost]
AbbyI'm sorry. I didn't mean-
No, don't use that as a reason. A[bby looks at him for a moment]
Abby...I'm sorry. [strokes his arm] What if I go shopping, and leave it at the supermarket?
[chuckles] Don't worry, I'll do all the shopping.
AbbyI'm afraid I'd mess it up, Luka.
[squeezes her hand] We won't.
I don't want everything we have to come down to this one decision. [pauses)] We can get past it. You did what you had to do. It doesn't mean we can't be together.
AbbyI didn't do it. I couldn't. I want to keep it. I want us to have this baby.
You want to go shopping?
AbbyI want to go looking.
Baby monitors.
AbbyMonitors, cribs, car seats. Maybe a little mobile of famous Croatian diplomats.
[Luka looks at her like she's crazy]
AbbyIt's a joke.
