St. Elsewhere · Season 2, Episode 22

Dr. Axelrod and Nurse Daniels in “Hello, Goodbye”

Dr. Axelrod

Hello, sir, Nice to meet you sir. How's the wife?

Nurse Daniels: [listening, then opens the curtain] Whose wife?

Dr. Axelrod

Westphall's.

Nurse Daniels

Westphall's wife is dead.

Dr. Axelrod

You're kidding! I didn't even know she was sick.

Nurse Daniels

It's been 10 years, Elliot.

Dr. Axelrod

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?

Nurse Daniels

Here let me straighten your tie. [Adjusts his tie] There's not much I can do with the rest of you.

Dr. Axelrod

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?

Nurse Daniels

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.

Dr. Axelrod

Oh, good.
