MDr. Meyers

So, what brings you here?

Dr. Weaver. She told me to come.

MDr. Meyers

Well, why do you suppose she wanted us to meet?

You tell me.

MDr. Meyers

That's not quite how it works.

Hey you're a doctor. Someone comes to me with a problem, I tell them how to fix it, so...

MDr. Meyers

Let's start with you telling me...

My problem?

MDr. Meyers

What's on your mind.

My family died during the war in Croatia. So I came to America. I had a relationship with someone I cared about, which I then ruined. So I started looking for the answers in the wrong places, you know like sex, drinking, living fast... Killed a patient I should've saved and then I almost killed a medical student in a car crash so... woke up one morning and everything I had was gone. Gone or broken. [pause] So what do you have for that?

MDr. Meyers

Well, Dr. Kovac, it's not something I can really...

That's what I thought. You should get back to work. Tell Weaver I showed up.

[about Abby] I just don't want...

Yes?

I just don't want you to wanna fix her.

Abby doesn't need to be fixed.

Or heal her or change her.

I love her.

I just don't want you to be waiting for her to change.

I'm not.

She's an amazing person.

I know who she is.

She's an amazing person with certain weaknesses and you'd be lucky to have her, even with those weaknesses, but you have to love her, even if she never changes anything.

So, you're Julia?

Yeah, you're Susan.

Yeah, I work at the hospital.

I know. Sean said that you were the only doctor he ever met who was like a friend. And, um, that you were hot.

[discussing their previous arrest] I don't get how you can roll over like that?

That's the way it works sometimes.

Yeah. If you let it.

What are you going to do, file a lawsuit?

That's one way to fight it.

There is no fighting it.

You know, I don't buy that.

Look, we could be perfect, you know, like Gandhi. But as soon as the crap goes down, we'll be the first ones laid out in the street with a gun to our head. Now, where I grew up, you see it every day. And if it happens to you enough, you get the message. You are not equal. You are not a full citizen. You are first, last, and above all, one thing and one thing only: a suspect.

[Gallant and Pratt are treating the cop who violently racially profiled them earlier in the day]

So uh, this must be a really scary part for you, huh?

MPOfficer Mitch Palnick

What?

Well, all the white folks left. Now it's just you, and couple of niggas with knives.
