I keep thinking about what he said... The last words of Greg Pratt were, "Don't screw it up, Morris."
You won't. If I were in trouble, Archie, I would call for you. [Morris looks at her doubtfully] I would. I would trust you with anything. And I didn't always feel that way, but I do now.
You know, you won't really have me to beat up on, after tonight.
So I understand. You know, despite some... obvious issues with authority, I'm wondering why you're leaving.
For my family. I have a husband and a little boy. You know, we just sort of need a... fresh start.
[nods] How old is your son?
A little over two.
That's a great age. I love that age. [pause] Well, your shift's almost over... Nice knowing you.
Good luck here. [they shake hands]
[Haleh is showing Abby the wall where all the doctors have put up their locker tags over the years]
Some we had to put up for them- Dr. Greene, Greg. You're the only one who's ever gotten to do two.
[looking at the tags] I don't see Carter up there.
No, he wouldn't do it. He said it was defacing government property. s[he and Abby laugh, Abby puts up her and Luka's tags] We're gonna miss you so damn much. [she and Abby hug]
[after Abby shows him how to dance properly] I've been stumbling around here all day! What were you waiting for?!
Where is everybody?
There's a double run coming in.
[she takes a stapler off the desk and puts it in her bag of personal items] I'm takin' this.
[shrugs] I'm not here.
Me neither. [she heads for the doors]
Hey. [Abby turns around] Tell that big Croat to bring you back for a visit sometime.
[smiles, walks out] Keep your head up, Frank.
[As Abby leaves County for the last time, Brody, Chuny, Gates, Sam and Morris have gathered in the ambulance bay; everyone except Morris knows she is leaving for good]
Well, I guess I let the cat out of the bag, huh? [pause] This kinda group thing, I was kinda hoping to avoid. But, um, Luka's picking me up, and since you're all here- I just wanna say it's been a great decade.
Excuse me? What the hell?
She's leaving, Archie.
When?!
Now, you idiot.
What? You are- you are? [Abby nods, the others giggle, Morris walks up to her and hugs her] You never said anything!
[bemused] I just, I- kinda thought you got the idea.
I didn't! [looks to the others, then hugs her again] I didn't!
Well, I- you know, Archie, it's amazing that you've managed to make my last moment here about you. I love that.
I love you too! [everyone laughs]
Okay... [Morris finally lets go of her] I'm gonna miss you guys. We'll be thinking about you... so long.
Bye, Abby. [Abby smiles, nods and walks out to the bay entrance, where Luka is waiting for her]
