[opening voice-over] Back in med school, I knew a guy who spent his weekends as a magician for children's birthday parties. It makes a weird kind of sense. If you plan on sawing a person in half, you're going to need to practice. When you take the stage and all eyes are on you, you don't want the audience to see you sweat, you only want them to see the magic.

Everything's gonna be fine, you guys. We just have to be squirrels about this.
Couldn't have heard you correctly there.
Oh, you know, squirrels. They store nuts for the winter, right? But they don't do it all at once. They do it one nut at a time. Everyone has their part to play, so everyone just needs to handle their own nut. We do that, we get all the nuts.

I'm Sergeant Carson's surgeon. And you are... the "Dream Team"? You can't just make decisions for my patient.
Uh, we're not here to step on toes, Doctor.
WWill
You're here to make my patient a guinea pig.
How about we take a step back?
WWill
How about you take 10 steps back, through that door, because no one's touching my patient!

Thorpe...
Sir, I understand that you want what's best for your patient. Is the surgery new and risky? Yes, it is. But if it works...
Oh, it'll work. Major Thorpe, your Chief asked for our help because he knows we're the best. Now, you called us the Dream Team, and that's exactly what we are. We are miracle workers. Now, the sooner you recognize that, the sooner we can get to the business of saving a life, which is all any of us are here to do, yourself included.
I actually loved high school.
I bet. Everybody loved high school in the '50s.
Um, Dr. Riggs? I'm sorry. I cannot join you on that case tonight because I have plans... with Dr. DeLuca. A date.
Okay.
Maggie Whom I've been seeing. We've been seeing each other... as a couple, romantically... in romance.
So you want to keep the surgery this morning, then?
Maggie Yes, that would be fine.
Okay. All right. I'll see you in there.
That was hard to watch.
Maggie Shut up. It was hard to do.
It was really hard to watch, though.
[closing voice-over] There's a reason we like to keep things to ourselves. When you have an audience, even the smallest moments end up feeling huge. It makes the big moments seem positively earth-shattering. The trick is, not letting the pressure keep you from taking big chances. You just get out there, naked and afraid, and pretend no one's looking.
