E.R. · Season 12
What's this?
It's a vigil for Danielle.
But she's not dead.
They're praying to keep her that way.
Really?
Really.
[hugs her] Not bad, Olivia- not bad, baby.
Pratt! The little girl broke down in the elevator- we had to move her back to Trauma Two!
[to Olivia as he leaves] Tell 'em to keep prayin'.
Was that Jodie?
How do you know her name?
'Cause she calls Frank about eight times a day, and I talk to her about three.
That's great.
Must have been- your fly's down.
...Okay. I don't know how to say this...
What?
Well, 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.
Yeah- 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...
Luka...
Yeah?
Ah, man! [looks away]
What?
[looks back at him, apprehensively] I'm pregnant. [Luka stares at her in amazement]
I need a few weeks off.
Why?
My band got a recording deal. We're going to L.A.
Back away from the gurney or I will impale you with my crutch.
Kerry- [Kerry prods him sharply in the chest with her crutch]
Back off, Elvis.
What if I can't love it right?
Abby...
Maybe I'm not strong enough.
Being a parent makes you stronger.
And, it breaks your heart. You told me that.
That's not what I meant. [referring to the children he lost]
I'm sorry. I didn't mean-
No, don't use that as a reason. A[bby looks at him for a moment]
...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.
I'm afraid I'd mess it up, Luka.
[squeezes her hand] We won't.
He's hemodynamically stable, with no parataneal signs!
So why'd you call me down here?!
Look, Missy, it's protocol, all right? [Albright turns and approaches him menacingly]
You- didn't- really just call me 'Missy', did you?
[suddenly nervous] Okay, look- the case meets trauma criteria!
Next time, call me when you know what you've got on your hands!
...
[Moments later, Neela proves that the patient doesn't need surgery, unintentionally humiliating Morris]
...You should pay more attention to your interns, Red.
I'm an R2, actually.
Ok, R2. Call me about that surgical elective- we might be able to work something out. [leaves, Morris exhales sharply]
[about a pregnant Catholic girl whose parents refuse to let her have an abortion] You're the wrong person to talk to about this.
Excuse me?
I would like your permission to consult another Attending. [Luka looks at her in confusion] Someone who's not Catholic. [Luka pauses, then steps towards her]
[quietly angry] Listen to me very seriously. I'm a doctor first, above and beyond anything else- and I don't let my personal beliefs get in the way of a patient's best interests! Ever.
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.
I didn't do it. I couldn't. I want to keep it. I want us to have this baby.
You want to go shopping?
I want to go looking.
Baby monitors.
Monitors, cribs, car seats. Maybe a little mobile of famous Croatian diplomats.
[Luka looks at her like she's crazy]
It's a joke.
[discussing what they'll need to get ready for the baby. Abby realizes that they'll need two of everything, one for her place and one for his] So, if we have twins, we need to have four of everything?
I'm not having twins.
Ahh, identical twins run in my family.
Are you kidding me?
What? I mean, chances are really small.
If your mutant Croatian seed causes me to have twins, I ...
Listen, look at it from the sunny side. If we have a custody fight, each one of us is going to take a kid.
[Abby rolls her eyes at him]
Identical twins.
[still laughing] Got it. Let's go.
Wait. What are you doing man? [Morris unbuttons his shirt] You got extra nipples?
Yes! Red hair, porcelain skin and four nipples. You know what gym class was like for me growing up? Hey, nipple boy, here here little piggy, look it's the ugly suckling! I heard them all
[Ray comes behind the curtain too]
Hey! We don't knock?
On a curtain? What are you guys doing with my patient anyway?
Nothing. Morris was just showing me his extra pair of nipples.
Oh my God! I can't believe you just violated my doctor patient privilege!
I'm not your doctor, Morris and you sure as hell ain't my patient.
Wow, look at those! That is freaky! You should get them all pierced, wear 'em like chain mail.
Crap! [she ducks behind a clothes rack]
What? [Abby pulls him behind the rack]
It's Debbie Dawkins, from the pharmacy.
Who? [He tries to peer out, and Abby smacks him in the arm]
Don't look! If she spots the two of us in a baby store together holding bags of stuff, she's gonna tell everybody!
I don't even know who she is-
She knows who you are!
I don't think so!
Oh, Luka- every woman who works in the hospital knows who you are, trust me.
I don't want to be a soul trapped in a corpse.
People with degenerative diseases do best when they have...
Hope? Do you read the papers? Bush just banned funding for embryonic stem cell research. I'm trying to hold on to hope, Doctor, but nobody's cooperating these days.
[about Pratt's suit] Dr. Pratt! Who's the lucky lady?
Oh, no, no- it's nothing like that, just a little charity event I gotta attend to.
[adjusting Pratt's tie] Oh, don't you be coy, Pratt! Chicago's 50 hottest bachelors are being auctioned off to benefit the Chicago Health Coalition! [Pratt chuckles]
Impressive!
[peeved] I, the 51st hottest bachelor, didn't make the cut.
How's Olivia feel about this?
Feel about what?
the fact that someone's buying a date with her boyfriend?
Aw, I wouldn't put it that way! It's a good cause- she's cool.
[sarcastically] Really? Your African-American girlfriend is cool with her African-American boyfriend bein' put up on the block for a bunch of rich white women to bid on?
[grins] Take it easy, Angela Davis. How do you know they're all white? See ya!
