[opening voice-over] We all have heroes. People we look up to. People we aspire to be, who teach us how to be greater than we are because they are greater than we are. They're great if we don't look too closely. 'Cause if we get too close, we realize heroes are just regular people. And regular people can fail us.

You've been in your head all day. It's fine, 'cause I covered for you, but talk to someone. Work it out.
What do you need, Warren? Do you need me to be fragile? Do you need me to fall apart?
Oh, come on, now.
Would that help you? Because you keep looking at me with your eyes all soft like you want to help me, you want to make me feel better. I don't need to feel better. I don't need your sympathy. Stuff like this happens, and I am built for it. I'm fine. Leave me alone.
Why doesn't hockey just ban the fighting?
Are you kidding? It's part of the game, the good part. You got to shake up the other team or get your own team going.
Garth is the enforcer. Now, his job is to go in and take out the skills player, upset the other team. Seems he's pretty good at it.
Fights can be strategic, too. A fight can change momentum, clear the air, break a stalemate.
It also rallies the team against a common enemy.
Well, this is fascinating. And I thought I was just gonna learn about surgery.
Oh, no, Dr. Warren, it's me who's being schooled tonight. Isn't that why you allowed me into an OR?
I just wanted to see how you deal with a Dr. Webber.
You don't want to have this fight, sir. Someone always tries to, and they always get on board or get left behind.
You said fighting is the good part, right? Well, I hope you meant it.
[closing voice-over] Our heroes aren't special. They're just people. They're like us. They're just trying to survive. They're trying to be happy. Trying to do better. Be better. Feel better. Heroes aren't more special, more courageous than the rest of us. After all, they're only human. They hurt. They break. They bleed. But sometimes, every once in a while, when it matters, they get it right. And that changes everything. A hero is only human, but that's the point. If they can do it, so can you. So, you keep going. You don't give up. You stand tall. You fight. You always show up to save the day.
