Dr. Kovac! Tell me you did not put a splint on my kid's arm.
I'm sorry, but we're busy trying to find a man's finger right now.
Yeah, and the reason it's missing, is because instead of studying here like I told him, he's off with you playing doctor.
What?!
Not like that.
I'm sorry about the splint.
Look. I appreciate you trying to be his friend. I just don't want things to get weird. You're a good guy, I'm sure. But you don't know crap about raising kids. So thanks for the help, but no thanks. I got it covered. [Sam doesn't realize Luka had two children who were killed in the Croatian War]
[Nods] OK.
[Alex has sown stitches into his own leg]
You ever seen a kid do something this crazy before?
Honestly? [shakes his head]
[to Abby and Neela] When'd you start your rotation?
Five minutes ago.
Well, the NICU's great! Intubations, chest-tubes, umbilical-lines. You get to do all sorts of teeny-tiny kick ass procedures.
[elevator door opens]
Card is waiting and Raab is pissed. Wanna give him a pneumo?
[The nurses, Abby, and Neela roll the baby away]
Good luck you two!
Yeah, you gonna love it! [To Sam] Let's get out of here.
I hate the NICU.
Those guys are screwed.
What is it with Kovac and his holier than thou healing hands? I'm getting pretty sick of that.
Oh, I don't know. Those healing hands have their good points. Right, Abby?
Did you go out with Kovac?
Briefly, yeah.
And Carter?
Yep.
Abby's the ER slut.
I went out with two doctors in five years that I've worked with.
Hey, Abby. Are we still on for tonight?
Yeah.
Great.
We're studying! And you shouldn't talk, Chuny.
[talking about almost having an abortion] When I finally figured out where the clinic was, I sat in the waiting room and when they called my name I couldn't get up. The second time I went, I was too late. And now I look at Alex...
The clinic I went to had a Strawberry Shortcake poster. I just looked at that the whole time.
You waiting for Weaver?
Yeah.
Well, don't hit her. She's crippled.
Actually, I was thinking. It might be a good time to take a break.
What?
You know, just take it slower. You know what I'm saying.
Uh, no I don't.
We're not exclusive, right? We're just, like, dating or whatever. No commitment, no strings, no co-parenting. Just keep it casual, OK?
OK.
No, it was fine.
Because, when I said before... I didn't mean we shouldn't see each other at all. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
You want things to be casual.
Right. But if it's a choice between something serious or nothing, maybe serious is the way to go.
[about Gillian] She has a boyfriend.
That's nice.
You said you didn't want to be exclusive!
I said it four days ago!
I forgot she was coming.
You know what, I don't care. It's fine, Luka.
It's fine?
You think I really care how many French girls you're screwing? You already nailed every nurse in the ER!
Oh, hey! Kovac called. He said next time he's gonna have a triple latte first. Does that make any sense?
[smiles] Yeah.
Are you two living together now?
No.
Well, for what it's worth, I think Luka's a good guy.
Oh, wait. You didn't...
...Sleep with him? No, I went in a completely different direction. [waves at Pratt]
Where's Pratt?
With a patient. What do you need?
I need Pratt-- Hey, Sam, hold up. Where are you going?
I'm going to grab with Alex and his dad.
Did you assist Dr. Pratt in examining Campbell, the woman in Curtain 2?
Yeah.
Was there anything unusual about the exam?
I don't think so. Why?
He gave her a breast exam for back pain.
I don't know what her chief complaint was. I was on the phone with the blood bank and juggling five other patients.
Sounds like he TUBE'd her.
She wasn't intubated, Morris.
No, no, you know, TUBE? T-U-B-E: Totally Unnecessary Breast Exam.
You're such an ass.
What was that?
Sorry.
No, not you. [to Morris] Where did you hear that term?
I... I dunno. I didn't make it up.
Well, who did?
We're moving.
No!
Come on, hurry up!
I don't wanna go!
Ah, you don't exactly have a choice.
I'm not going!
Yes you are.
I like it here.
Yeah? So did I.
You're just being a bitch.
What did you call me?
I'm sick of moving just because you're screwed up!
You know what I'm sick of, Alex?! I'm sick of pretending that your dad is a good guy! I'm sick of keeping my mouth shut about all the crap that he's done and all the stuff that he hasn't. And I'm sick of him tracking us down every time he loses a job, so he can come here and buy you enough presents to make you think that he's actually a father. Because he's not! He's a user, and a loser, and I am not gonna let him turn you into one too. Now get your ass in that room and start packing!
[Luka leans up against his car at the motel, Sam is getting ice from the ice machine.]
[sighs] What are you doing, Sam?
This is what I do, you know that. I don’t stay in one place that long.
How long are you going to keep doing that?
As long as I have to.
Luka You can’t keep running away.
Sure I can.
This isn’t just about Steve.
Sorry, sometimes there’s a little collateral damage. I have to do this for Alex.
From what I can tell, it’s not working for him.
Yeah well, he’s 10, he doesn’t know what’s working for him.
Is this the life you want for him? For yourself?
[opens her mouth as if to say something, but is speechless] I don’t know what else to do.
Go to your car and follow me back to Chicago. You don’t have to do this alone, I’m here, you can trust me.
[A tear runs down Sam’s cheek. Luka pushes her hair back and caresses her face with his hand.]
That’s not something I’m good at.
Why not give it a try? It can’t be any worse than this, can it?
[They both smile and softly laugh]
[Luka wakes up, turns to see that Sam is not there and gets out of bed. Sam is at the open window. Luka comes out of the room and hugs her.]
You’re not sleepy? You will get cold like that.
He’ll come back [Sam moves away from Luka.] We won’t have any idea when. Sleeping in one morning or on our way home from a movie, and he’ll just show up.
We’ll deal with that.
I don’t know why you would want to. [she looks into Alex’s room where he is sleeping]
I can think of a reason. [Luka closes the window.] This place is too small. You should both come and live with me.
What?
My apartment has two floors. Alex can sleep downstairs.
Luka! If we all move in together it is going to be because it is something we all want, not because you think we need to be protected!
Hey.
[Sam walks away and mumbles something about a shower.]
Hey! [Sam stops and turns and Luka picks up the frying pan.] Scrambled or fried?
Poached!
Poached?
