Nurse Rosenthal

[as Dr. Caldwell is limping in the hallway] Ladies and gentlemen, Hoot Gibson!

RCDr. Robert Caldwell

Thanks, Helen!

Dr. Caldwell...

Victor, I don't know if you're coming back for a second year so don't ask.

It just so happens I wanna do you a big favor.

Yeah. What's that?

I wanna give some advice on how to keep under control so your sutures will stay in place.

Mind your own business, Victor.

I just wanna help. I know what you're going through. Everybody's gotta wind the watch once in a while.

Bye, Victor.

Okay. [Shaking his head] Gives me the willies.

Nurse Rosenthal

Hi, Shirley. How are you? I haven't seen much of you lately.

I've been busy.

Nurse Rosenthal

You dating someone?

No, why?

Nurse Rosenthal

Well, I don't see you in the cafeteria. You know what? You and I should have lunch one of these days.

Really? During the nurses strike I was persona non grata. Now you've decided all is forgiven?

Nurse Rosenthal

Oh, Shirley come on. [Helen comforts Shirley] Don't you think it's time to let what happened go? Hmm?

That's easy for you, isn't it, Helen? Forgetting the past, your commitment to others? You're one hell of a role model for the nursing staff.

Nurse Rosenthal

[Shocked] So... I guess our lunch is off. [Walks to the door]
