[Gates is leaning against the desk, yawning]
Am I boring you, Dr. Gates?
Oh, sorry. It's the 6:00 a.m. shift; my brain is here, but my body isn't.

OFMrs. O'Fallon
[about Claire] You know, about a month ago, I... um... caught her throwing rocks at the neighbor's dog. And then a few days later, she was trying to stick a metal rod through one of the fish in our tank. And I just tried to pretend it was normal. You know, just a kid acting out. I don't get it. Why her? Why our family?
I don't know.
OFMrs. O'Fallon
That's all you can say? You can't lie to me and tell me that she's gonna be okay? That she's gonna grow up to be a normal girl? I mean, that's why we come here, to get answers. You're gonna have to do better than that.
I'm sorry. That's all I have.
OFMrs. O'Fallon
Well, that's not good enough, doctor.
Claire, we have video cameras in the ceilings of our trauma rooms. We saw you adjust the ventilator and light the sheet on fire.
COClaire O'Fallon
I didn't want to kill her. I just wanted to mess her up.
You did.
COClaire O'Fallon
If she's in the hospital, Mom will see what a good girl I am. She won't be blaming me for everything.
Is that why you pushed her off the wall?
[Claire doesn't answer]
Claire, they're accusing your mother of child abuse which means she could go to jail, and your sister and you could both go to foster homes. Now, something tells me that she doesn't hit you two and she didn't push your sister. Did you do it, Claire? Did you?
COClaire O'Fallon
It was cool seeing her lying there all pale, with blood coming out. And then when she couldn't move, and her legs were getting burned. It was great.
That made you feel good?
COClaire O'Fallon
Really good.
I'm not going to beg, but one day you are going to wake up next to me and you are going to wonder, how did this happen? And I'm going to smile and remind you that I predicted this over coffees and chocolate glazed donuts.
You are a cocky bastard.
Yeah, but I'd be a correct cocky bastard and that's all that would matter.
MMugger
I can't believe I mugged a doctor.
SSanchez
Not just a doctor, she's the chief.
MMugger
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Is she an Apache or something?
