Good, then we don't have anything to talk about.
Yes, we do. I know how good my board scores were and you know the quality of my work has been improving, yet you still torpedoed me.
You got what you deserve.
Even though the jury found me innocent, you're still doling out punishment like you're above the law or something.
What gives you the right? You're the last person on this earth I have to explain myself to.
I'm taking you to court, Westphall. They'll force you to give me a second year. I'll be back! I'll be back.
[as Dr. Caldwell is limping in the hallway] Ladies and gentlemen, Hoot Gibson!
RCDr. Robert Caldwell
Thanks, Helen!
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.
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.
Okay. [Shaking his head] Gives me the willies.
Hello, sir, Nice to meet you sir. How's the wife?
Nurse Daniels: [listening, then opens the curtain] Whose wife?
Westphall's wife is dead.
You're kidding! I didn't even know she was sick.
It's been 10 years, Elliot.
Oh, then I guess I shouldn't send flowers. Thanks for the tip. I would have faux-pauxed myself all over the conference room. Probably blowing my chances of becoming a first-year resident this fall. How do I look?
Here let me straighten your tie. [Adjusts his tie] There's not much I can do with the rest of you.
I really hate interviews. My hands always get clammy. I mean, what if he asks a question I don't know the answer to? And most important, do you think he'll like me?
Elliot, in the six months since you started your externship in the ER, there's one thing I can say about you. If they're judging on originality, you're a shoe-in.
Only one, huh? After your haphazard, clumsy, inexcusable performance in the OR today, I'm convinced that you may be here in body, but your mush brains are still on vacation.
Fine, well Dr. Swayles...
Exactly! He's got admitting privileges here, and I've been assigned one of his patients. You know, I've tried to reach him without any luck. Mrs. Sado's conditioning is deteriorating, and I've got to change her meds fast.
I can't change his orders. He's an attending and I'm only a resident.
You're also a moron. When a human life is in the balance, protocol goes out the window. Do I make myself understood?
And Ehrlich, I appreciate the fact that you don't wear shorts.
[Ehrlich is giving a lecture about having sex after recovery from bypass surgery]
There are five phases to sexual activity: arousal, plateau, orgasm, resolution, and putting on your socks.
NPNurse Papandrao
There was an emergency in the OR. There was nobody available, so I...
Isn't that scabbing? Or is the union finally admitting they're jeopardizing patients' lives?
NPNurse Papandrao
Don't blame it on the union. That man's life was in danger because no doctor had the foresight to transfer him last week.
Oh, come on, Lucy. That's bull. Emergencies happen all the time.
NPNurse Papandrao
Look, I'm on strike, okay? But if somebody's dying, I'm not on strike. It's that simple.
Congratulations, you got it all figured out. But maybe dying isn't the worst thing that could happen to someone.
NPNurse Papandrao
Oh, boy. If you really believe that, you're in the wrong business.
It's starting all over again, and none of you seem to care. You're outside, looking for the fringe benefits!
NPNurse Papandrao
Are we talking about the same thing?
NPNurse Papandrao
I think you've been working a little too hard, Shirley.
Don't you have to get back on the line?
Move your chair, Axelrod.
[Axelrod moves in]
I've reviewed the Colfax case, and I am not happy. What the hell is going on here?
WDr. Wade
I tried to tell Elliott-...
[Cuts Wade off] I have the floor, Dr. Wade. Now, my time is valuable. I don't like wasting it on conforming an open-and-shut case! Axelrod, I find your diagnosis entirely appropriate.
The patient has a family history of heart disease, but the size and location of the occlusion poses no grave or immediate danger. She's young, compliant, and willing to work hard to avoid surgery. Adequate medical management should give her the same, if not better, chance of survival than a bypass. Case closed. Dr. Wade, I'd like to speak with you. Axelrod, get some rest. You look terrible.
[Axelrod leaves Dr. Craig's office]
What the hell were you trying to do? Bulldoze a patient into surgery?
WDr. Wade
I thought a bypass was necessary and expedient.
In a fifty year old. With heavy left occlusion, maybe! This woman presents no intractable angina.
WDr. Wade
Dr. London supported my diagnosis.
[Wade nods her head, Craig is appalled with the answer]
The man puts Sweeney Todd to shame. He would operate for the common cold! Let me tell you something. I won't have cut-happy residents on my staff. There are too many surgeons already lining their pockets with unnecessary surgery. [hands her a folder] You blew this one, Wade. It better not happen again.
Wanna bet how long it takes this three-year-old to pass a mood ring?
How about Peter? He's good at beating the odds.
[Morrison approaches White] Let's have a look at this skull series.
The waters' view is clear.
You think Megan and Timothy have changed much?
Probably. But they're still your kids.
I'm telling ya, I'm gonna put things back together with Myra.
Good. Then you can go up to the psych ward and tell Cathy Martin you're sorry you put her in a straight jacket.
Jack, you haven't lived till you've seen Peter in action. I had the good fortune to catch his act once, and believe me, he's got a certain way with women. Unfortunately, it's a felony.
You know, you really oughta talk, Fiscus. There isn't a woman in this hospital you haven't hit on.
Took a lot of hard work, concentration, and a ski mask to get Peter where he is today. You know something for Myra's sake, I hope she's found another man.
[White and Fiscus have a scuffle]
[Stepping in to break up the scuffle] Enough! That's enough, all right? That's enough, Peter!
[Peter takes his X-rays and walks out]
Why can't you leave him alone? Why can't everybody just leave him alone?
He's doing a con job on you, Jack, and I don't know why you just lie back and enjoy it.
What brings you down here?
[Getting seductive] Do you like it? I did it for you. [Getting closer] I've been thinking about you, Peter. A lot.
[Peter approaches the door and locks it]
Wanted this for a long time.
[He makes out with her. She pulls out her gun]
I want you to be afraid. I want to see you afraid.
[shoves him] Not anymore. [points gun at him]
Now-Now what is that for?
What are you talking about?
Is this where you raped Cathy Martin?
You were gonna rape me, weren't you?
Look, you were coming on to me! I-I thought we were just having a little fun, you know.
Like the other women had fun?
What's the matter, Peter? Nervous?
Now you know what it feels like. Afraid.
Now, I want you to be afraid. Did you hit them? What did you make them do?
I don't want to hear your lies anymore.
Say it, Peter. Say it, you raped them.
No, no! No. I wanted Cathy Martin again but somebody else got her first.
Because she was the best. All right, all right. Look, I'll-I'll turn myself in. Okay?
Goodbye, Peter. [Shoots him. Walks up to the phone] Code blue. In the morgue.
So you took the job with that colonic slime, Bill Wolf, didn't you?
It's all over the hospital. Everyone is patting me on the back like I just had a baby boy.
All right, all right, I was gonna tell you.
Listen, the only reason that I'm doing this program is to provide a genuine public service.
Oh, don't give me that crap! Muammar Gaddafi is more interested in public service than that ringworm producer.
All right, I need the money. You know I got a divorce pending.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you turned on me for a few lousy pieces of silver.
You've had your differences with Mr. Wolf, but I don't think that should interfere with our relationship. Yours and mine, I mean.
You can count on it! You lie with dogs, you get fleas!
Well, wait a minute, you don't mean that, do you, sir?
His film eviscerated me all over the airwaves.
I guess I can't persuade you to do a guest spot some night, huh?
Who do I look like, Ben Vereen? I'm a surgeon, Ehrlich, not a buck and wing man! Scalpel!
