STILL DOING THE TOTAL GASTRECTOMY?

I CAN'T. I'VE GOT AN INTERVIEW WITH MORGENSTERN AND BRADLEY.

THE STARZL FELLOWSHIP?

YEP.

DID LANGWORTHY SAY ONLY THIRD-YEAR RESIDENTS GET IT?

IN HER DREAMS.

TELL MORGENSTERN TO MEET ME IN TRAUMA TWO.

WHAT DO WE GOT?

STAB WOUNDS TO THE NECK.

PULSE 150 AND THREADY. B.P.'s 50 PALP.

I LIKE THE WAY IT SOUNDS.

I BELIEVE WE HAVE OURSELVES A BREATHER HERE.

WELCOME BACK, SIR.

CAN YOU VENTILATE HIM?

BREATHING EASY.

Morgenstern: WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

A STAB WOUND TO THE NECK.

UNABLE TO INTUBATE DUE TO BLEEDING.

PERFORMED A STAT CRICHOTHYROTOMY.

AIRWAY ESTABLISHED.

GOOD BILATERAL BREATH SOUNDS

AND PATIENT IS STABLE.

WHAT DO YOU NEED ME FOR?

LET'S GET HIM UP TO THE O.R.

PETER...

EXCELLENT.

EXCELLENT WORK.

SOUND JUDGMENT.

A SOLID EXECUTION.

EXCELLENT.

( phone ringing )

E.R.

YEAH, HOLD ON.

CARTER, PHONE FOR YOU.

FOR ME?

THANKS, JERRY.

HELLO?

YES, YES, I DID CALL ABOUT THE ONE-BEDROOM.

NO, REALLY?

WHAT ABOUT THE STUDIO?

A GARAGE?

I DON'T THINK I WANT A GARA... HELLO?

HELLO?

THAT'S GOOD, HUH?

LOOKING FOR AN APARTMENT?

YEAH, I'VE BEEN LIVING AT HOME

AND MY DAD THINKS I'M A FREELOADER.

MINE DID TOO.

FOUND MY OWN PLACE SIX MONTHS AGO.

YEAH? THROUGH THE PAPER?

NO, NO, THROUGH A PATIENT.

85-YEAR-OLD GUY HAS A HEART ATTACK.

HE CRUMPED. I JUMPED.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, JERRY, THAT HE DIED AND...

Jerry: DR. BENTON?

DR. MORGENSTERN CALLED AND WANTED ME TO TELL YOU

THAT YOUR STARTZLE...

STARZL.

YEAH. THE INTERVIEW'S

BEEN PUSHED TO 3:00.

OH, MAN...

BOY WITH A LACERATION IN ONE.

CARTER'S HAVING A LIGHT DAY.

LET HIM TAKE IT.

NO. I'D RATHER YOU DO IT.

CARTER, SEE THE KID IN ONE.

I'VE GOT TO GET TO RECOVERY TO SEE A PATIENT.

OH, CARTER.

96-YEAR-OLD STROKE VICTIM IN AREA THREE.

MIGHT CHECK IT OUT.

CHECK IT OUT?

YEAH, HE LIVES AT 1680 NORTH LAKE SHORE DRIVE.

GREAT LOCATION.

MORE SLEEP.

MORE SLEEP.

SAY IT AIN'T SO, JOE.

IT AIN'T SO, JOE.

OH, GOD, 7:00.

MY SHIFT STARTS IN A HALF AN HOUR.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE.

I AM?

MM-HMM. I CALLED THE HOSPITAL

AND TOLD THEM YOU WERE TOO BUSY HAVING SEX WITH YOUR WIFE.

AND YOU WANT ME TO MAKE AN HONEST WOMAN OF YOU?

YES.

OKAY, THAT TAKES CARE OF THE CUT.

I FELL OFF A LADDER.

YEAH, I KNOW.

LET'S CHECK YOUR ELBOW.

I FELL OFF A STOOL, BUT I DIDN'T HURT MY HEAD.

IT STAYS ON.

SEE?

GO LIKE THIS.

OH, KNOCK, KNOCK.

WHO'S THERE?

PATRICK.

PATRICK WHO?

ME... PATRICK.

OKAY, I THINK IT'S PROBABLY FINE

BUT JUST TO BE SURE, I'M GOING TO HAVE SOMEONE TAKE AN X-RAY.

X-RAY?

IT'S LIKE A PICTURE.

A PHOTOGRAPH OF YOUR BONES.

OOH. CAN... CAN I KEEP IT?

SURE.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME, PATRICK.

OKAY, I'LL BE BACK TO CHECK ON YOU, OKAY?

TAKE HIM UP TO X-RAY.

SWEET KID.

YEAH, SOMETIMES I THINK

I SHOULD BE GOING OUT WITH THE PATIENTS

INSTEAD OF THE DOCTORS.

DOCTORS... I DON'T KNOW.

SHRINKS AREN'T TOO BAD.

SO THE RUMORS ARE TRUE.

WHAT RUMORS?

YOU'VE BEEN GOING OUT WITH DIV CVETIC.

JUST NOW AND THEN.

FOR TWO MONTHS.

OH, GEEZ.

YOU'VE BEEN HAVING LUNCH WITH HIM EVERY DAY.

MALIK, DID YOU GET THOSE BLOOD SAMPLES

FROM THE LADY IN FIVE?

ALREADY AT THE LAB.

GREAT. THANKS.

SO EVERYONE KNOWS?

THAT IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, HE'S TAKING YOU OUT

ASKED YOU TO WEAR THAT BLACK DRESS?

WHAT DID HE DO, PUT IT IN THE NEWSLETTER?

THE BULLETIN BOARD.

JUST KIDDING.

I WILL KILL HIM.

AFTER DINNER.

JERRY, YOU GOT ANYTHING TO EAT?

BAGELS IN THE LOUNGE.

NEVER MIND.

DID LINDA FARRELL COME BY YET?

LINDA FARRELL OF THE PEPPERONI PIZZA

ARMANI SUIT

NOVELL PHARMACEUTICALS?

YES, JERRY.

HAVEN'T SEEN HER.

I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED.

IS "SLICE" YOUR FIRST NAME

OR YOUR MIDDLE NAME?

"SLICE" IS HIS STREET NAME.

RIGHT. "STREET NAME."

AND HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

COPS BEAT ME UP.

PUT HIS FOOT THROUGH A WINDOW.

BREAKING AND ENTERING.

HEY, WHO'S THE NURSE ON THE PHONE OUT THERE?

THAT'S NURSE WRIGHT.

LYDIA WRIGHT.

SHE MARRIED?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

OKAY, THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO STING A LITTLE BIT.

WHAT'S THAT?

OH, THAT'S AN E.K.G. CALIPER.

WE USE IT TO MEASURE DISTANCES ON A CARDIOGRAM.

A CARDIOGRAM MEASURES

THE ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY OF THE HEART.

YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE DOING THAT. UH...

GRAB LYDIA AND JERRY

AND MEET ME AT THE AMBULANCE BAY.

YOU BET.

RADIAL HEAD LOOKS OKAY.

NO FAT PAD SIGN.

I THINK HE'S IN THE CLEAR.

Malik: E.M.T.s PULLING IN RIGHT NOW.

MOTORCYCLE VERSUS SEMI.

WHO'S ON?

BENTON AND ROSS.

All: SURPRISE!

* HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

* HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

* HAPPY BIRTHDAY

* DEAR SUSAN

* HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.

( cheers )

BIRTHDAY JELL-O IN THE LOUNGE.

I HATE THIS.

THAT'S WHY WE DID IT.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

OH, THANK YOU.

HEY, CAROL, CAROL.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

THANK YOU.

THOUGHT WE COULD CRAWL IN HERE

AND ESCAPE FOR AN HOUR.

WHAT IF THEY FIND US IN A COMPROMISING POSITION?

THEN HOW ABOUT A MORE EXOTIC LOCALE?

I HAVE SEVEN MINUTES.

DON'T KNOW IF "EXOTIC"

IS THE WORD I WOULD HAVE PICKED.

I MEAN, LOOK, WE PUT THE POOL IN OVER THERE

A LITTLE WET BAR, A PUTTING GREEN.

A PUTTING GREEN?

HEY, I'M A DOCTOR.

GOLF'S AN EASY GAME.

I COULD TEACH YOU THIS AFTERNOON.

I HAVE TO BE BACK IN FOUR MINUTES.

MAYBE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH TIME.

IF YOU MOVED IN WITH ME

THERE'D BE MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME.

YEAH, YOU MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.

YEAH, TWO WEEKS AGO.

THE SILENCE OF NO ANSWER IS GETTING A LITTLE DEAFENING.

OH, GOD, TAG... SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED, YOU KNOW?

I KNOW. WE'VE GOTTEN THROUGH THAT.

I JUST... I WANT TO MOVE SLOWLY AND FEEL SURE.

ABOUT US.

ABOUT ME.

I THINK WE HAVE MOVED SLOWLY

AND I AM SURE ABOUT IT ALL.

I'M A GOOD GUY, CAROL, AND I LOVE YOU.

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM

WITH OUR BEING TOGETHER, I NEED YOU TO DEAL WITH IT.

WAS THAT PATRICK?

YEAH. AS A PRECAUTION, DR. LEWIS HAS ASKED HIM

TO SIT IN A WHEELCHAIR UNTIL HIS FATHER GETS HERE.

( crash )

SOME PRECAUTION.

( clearing throat )

AH, LINDA FARRELL.

STILL HAVEN'T SEEN HER, DR. ROSS.

JERRY, DO YOU LIKE YOUR JOB?

HOWEVER, WHEN I DO, I WILL CERTAINLY TRACK YOU DOWN

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE.

AND A GOOD LATE MORNING TO YOU.

I HAD CAR TROUBLE.

MM-HMM.

I DID HAVE CAR TROUBLE.

HOW IS JENNIFER, MARK?

SHE'S GREAT.

YEAH, I'LL BET.

WHAT'S THIS FOR?

LATER ON TONIGHT?

KEEP IT UP.

SHE'S ADORABLE.

YEAH. SHE'S ALMOST 13 NOW.

OH, AND THIS IS, THIS IS RALPH.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING SO CUTE?

MINIATURE SCHNAUZERS.

VERY CUTE.

IS MOOKIE DOWN HERE?

CARTER'S STITCHING HIM UP.

CARTER? WHERE'S BENTON?

DON'T KNOW.

THAT IS ONE SORRY PAINT JOB.

THAT'S BECAUSE THE HOSPITAL LIKES TO SAVE THE BIG BUCKS

FOR THOSE DOCTORS' SALARIES.

ACTUALLY

I'M NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT MYSELF

BECAUSE I'M A RESIDENT.

THEY DON'T PAY ME ANYTHING.

YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU'RE SOME KIND OF FREEBIE?

CARTER!

WHERE'S DR. BENTON?

HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE STITCHING UP THIS BOY.

PAWN ME OFF ON THE FREEBIE?

NOT ONE WORD OUT OF YOU, MOOKIE JAMES.

YOU HAVE DONE ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY.

HOW DO YOU TWO..?

WHERE IS BENTON?

HE HAD TO GO TO RECOVERY.

SON OF A BITCH!

YOU CASUALLY MENTIONED OUR DINNER TO DOUG ROSS?

YEAH. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

HE'S LIKE DR. INTERCOM.

BIGGEST GOSSIP IN THE HOSPITAL.

THE CAFETERIA WORKERS PROBABLY KNOW.

BUT YOU DO LOOK GREAT IN THAT BLACK DRESS.

THIS ISN'T WORKING.

NO?

NO.

DR. CVETIC?

THE PATIENT I MENTIONED EARLIER IS RIGHT OVER HERE...

THREE TIMES I TOLD YOU, I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO SEE HIM.

WHAT WAS YOUR NAME?

DIV...

MALIK, WHY DON'T I JUST...

MALIK, THAT'S RIGHT.

I TOLD YOU THAT THREE TIMES TOO... DIV.

LISTEN, SON...

OKAY, ENOUGH. STOP.

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO DO, ARM WRESTLE?

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

I'VE HAD FIVE ADMISSIONS TODAY:

TWO ATTEMPTED SUICIDES

TWO BIPOLARS WHO FORGOT

TO TAKE THEIR LITHIUM AND A 40-YEAR-OLD

WHO WALKS IN OFF THE STREET CLAIMING TO BE DEAD

ALL BEFORE LUNCH.

YOUR PATIENT'S SIMPLY GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT

FOR THE AFTERNOON SHIFT.

BOAT COLLISION OUT ON THE LAKE.

12-YEAR-OLD CAUGHT IN THE WRECKAGE.

HOW LONG?

E.M.T.s PULLING UP NOW.

CONNIE, CLEAR TRAUMA ONE.

HIS PARENTS ARE WITH HIM.

ARE THEY HURT?

NO, THROWN FREE. BUT THEY CAME WITH HIM.

OSCAR, WHAT DO YOU GOT?

DAVID ADLER, 12, FOUND UNCONSCIOUS.

PLEASE HELP HIM.

I'M DR. ROSS.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE YOUR SON TO TRAUMA.

HE WENT UNDER SO FAST, WE COULDN'T FIND HIM.

B.P. 70, PULSE 140.

JERRY WILL TELL YOU WHERE TO WAIT.

CAN'T WE STAY WITH HIM?

WE'LL DO EVERYTHING WE CAN.

Oscar: COULDN'T START AN I.V. OR INTUBATE

SO WE SCOOPED AND RAN.

G.C.S 2-4-2.

PUPILS MID-RANGE AND SLAGGING.

OKAY, ON THREE, HIT THAT BUCKLE.

ONE, TWO, THREE.

ALL RIGHT.

AIRWAY?

YOU GOT IT.

HOLD THAT.

ALL RIGHT, NOW GIVE ME...

SIX AND A HALF.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON, BUDDY.

OKAY.

UH-HUH.

HIS HEART RATE'S LOW.

GIVE HIM ATROPINE AND EPINEPHRINE.

O-NEGATIVE'S HERE.

YOU ORDERED IT?

YEP.

INTERNAL JUGULAR?

HAVE TO.

HIS PERIPHERAL VEINS HAVE COLLAPSED.

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO.

CONNIE, WILL YOU MOVE THOSE PEOPLE OUT OF THE HALL?

PERFECT.

YEP.

UH-HUH.

OKAY, HERE WE GO.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT.

HERE IT COMES.

PUT IT DOWN.

ALL RIGHT, I THINK WE GOT THIS BABY.

O.R.'s PREPPED.

THEY CAN X-RAY HIS C-SPINE UPSTAIRS.

LET'S TAKE HIM ON UP.

PADDLES.

200?

YEP.

AND CLEAR.

AGAIN.

300?

YEAH.

CLEAR.

GIVE ME 360.

CHARGING.

AND CLEAR.

OKAY, HE'S STABILIZED.

LET'S GO.

Benton: ALL RIGHT, PEOPLE, LET'S GO.

HE'S GOING TO NEED AT LEAST SIX UNITS.

WE GOT HIM.

OH, MAN

I THINK WE MAY HAVE JUST PULLED THAT ONE OUT.

THAT WAS LIKE CLOCKWORK.

I WISH THEY WERE ALL LIKE THAT.

SEVEN MINUTES, DOOR TO DOOR.

YOU WERE GREAT.

YOU ANTICIPATED EVERY MOVE.

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

I MEAN IT.

YEAH?

I DO.

I DO.

I DO.

CAROL, I'M SORRY.

I SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.

UH...

YOU DIDN'T DO IT ALONE.

LISTEN. I GOT TO GO.

CAN I COME BACK AND VISIT?

ALL RIGHT, PATRICK.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY.

GOING HOME, PATRICK?

SI, SENORITA.

HIS FATHER'S HERE.

AND YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE IT EASY

FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, RIGHT?

PICK A CARD...

ANY CARD.

( laughing )

OH, PICK A CARD, ANY CARD.

HERE.

THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

LET'S FIND YOUR DAD.

LET'S GO, PATRICK.

Patrick: YAY! GO HOME.

GO HOME?

WHERE AM I GOING?

( Hathaway laughing )

UH, DOUG, I'VE GOT A THREE-YEAR-OLD

WITH A FEVER IN TWO, A SIX-MONTH-OLD IN FOUR.

HIS MOTHER SAYS HE'S NOT KEEPING ANYTHING DOWN.

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

I'M SORRY, DR. ROSS.

I HAVEN'T SEEN HER.

SEEN WHO?

LINDA FARRELL.

OH, RIGHT, JERRY.

OH, OKAY. THANK YOU.

MICHAEL CARSON, AGE 35, VICTIM OF

A FIVE-MILE-AN-HOUR CAR ACCIDENT

AND NOT A SCRATCH ON HIM.

NO CLUE WHY HE'S COMATOSE.

RESULTS OF THE C.T.?

NORMAL, NO IMPROVEMENT WITH GLUCOSE AND NARCAN.

WELL, HE'S NONSURGICAL.

HE'S ALL YOURS.

THE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF COMA, HUH?

GOOD LUCK.

YOU, TOO, ON YOUR INTERVIEW.

YEAH.

WELL, LET'S SEE

WHAT WE CAN COME UP WITH.

( whistling )

I ASKED YOU TO TAKE THAT BOY

WITH THE LACERATION.

WHY ARE YOU IN HERE?

WHY DIDN'T YOU?

BECAUSE CARTER COULD HANDLE IT.

I ASKED YOU TO TREAT HIM

AND HOPED MAYBE YOU'D TALK TO HIM.

I HAD A PATIENT TO SEE.

YOU JUST DIDN'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED.

OKAY. WHOA, WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT AM I, THE BIG BROTHERS PROGRAM?

I'M SUPPOSED TO TURN EVERY GANG KID INTO A NELSON MANDELA?

YOU'D NEVER DO THAT, PETER.

THAT'S WHY I NEVER ASKED YOU BEFORE.

I'VE KNOWN MOOKIE SINCE HE WAS

FOUR YEARS OLD, AND HE WAS A SWEET KID

AND MAYBE SOMEONE WILL GET THROUGH TO HIM

AND HE WILL BE THAT AGAIN SOMEDAY!

PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE HALF AS TOUGH

AS GETTING THROUGH TO YOU!

WHAT ABOUT METABOLIC CAUSES--

HYPOGLYCEMIA, DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS?

BLOOD TESTS RULE THAT OUT.

IT CAN'T BE ARRHYTHMIA OR AN M.I.

NEGATIVE C.T. RULES OUT MASS LESION AND TRAUMA.

BENTON GAVE HIM NARCAN?

AND AN AMP OF D-50.

BLOOD WAS NORMAL

EXCEPT FOR A SLIGHTLY ELEVATED WHITE COUNT.

UP TO 14,500.

PULSE IS SLOWING, AND B.P.'s DROPPING.

ALL RIGHT. WELL, SPEED UP THE I.V.s

AND GIVE HIM 300cc BOLUS OF SALINE.

WHAT ABOUT ATROPINE?

YEAH. YEAH.

POINT FIVE, I.V. PUSH.

MAYBE HE HAD A SEIZURE.

CONNIE, GET A TEMPERATURE.

MM-HMM. HE'S GOT A SLIGHT ABRASION

ON HIS TONGUE

PROBABLY FROM BITING IT.

PARTIALLY COMPENSATED METABOLIC ACIDOSIS.

YOU SEE THAT WITH SEIZURES.

101.5.

MENINGITIS?

YEAH, COULD BE.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO A LUMBAR PUNCTURE.

YOU EVER DONE ONE?

NO, BUT I'VE SEEN IT DONE.

MM-HMM. SEE ONE, DO ONE, TEACH ONE.

OKAY.

BENTON.

HEY, SARAH.

YOU CHANGED CLOTHES.

UH, YEAH.

OH.

WHO'S IN THERE NOW?

DALTON.

GEORGE DALTON?

MM-HMM.

GUY CAN'T CLOSE A DOOR, MUCH LESS AN INCISION.

YEAH, I ONCE SAW HIM TRY

TO CONNECT A URETER TO A SIGMOID COLON.

YOU THINK THAT'S BAD?

I WATCHED HIM DO A BEAUTIFUL

RIGHT FEM-POP BYPASS ON A FEMORAL ARTERY--

THE LEFT FEMORAL ARTERY.

YEAH, SO WHAT DO YOU THINK

HE SAID TO THE PATIENT, HUH?

"THERE'S GOOD NEWS AND SOME BAD NEWS."

"SIR, THE OPERATION WAS A SUCCESS."

"BUT IT WAS THE WRONG LEG."

THAT WAS TERRIFIC.

THANK YOU, DR. DALTON.

IT WAS GOOD.

DR. BENTON, YOU DON'T MIND IF WE TAKE

DR. LANGWORTHY FIRST, DO YOU?

SHE'S SCRUBBING ON A SMALL BOWEL AT 4:30.

NO, NOT AT ALL.

YOU READY?

YEAH, SURE.

COME ON IN.

OKAY.

INSERT IT BETWEEN L4 AND L5.

UH-HUH.

TILT IT SLIGHTLY UPWARD

SO IT'S PARALLEL WITH THE BED.

OKAY.

ADVANCE IT SLOWLY

BETWEEN THE VERTEBRAE.

THEN YOU'LL FEEL A SLIGHT POP

WHEN THE TIP PUNCTURES

THE SPINAL CANAL.

I FELT IT.

OKAY, YOU'RE NOT DONE YET.

NOW REMOVE THE STYLET

FROM THE NEEDLE

AND CHECK FOR FLUID.

PERFECT. BINGO.

PERFECT ON THE FIRST SHOT.

CRYSTAL CLEAR, MR. CARTER.

THAT'S ONE HELL OF A CHAMPAGNE TAP.

CHAMPAGNE TAP?

PERFECT HIT THE FIRST TIME.

RESIDENT OWES YOU A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE.

NOT THE RESIDENT, THE NURSE.

DR. GREENE, YOUR WIFE WANTS YOU

TO MEET HER AT DOC'S AT 4:00.

OKAY, THANKS, JERRY.

HI.

HI.

COULDN'T WAIT TILL TONIGHT?

I WISH.

JUDGE FRANKLIN SAID MY ZONING OPINION

WASN'T WHAT HE'D HOPED FOR

FROM A UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO GRADUATE.

THE GUY'S NUTS.

HE'S AN APPELLATE JUDGE.

SO WHAT?

IT'S THE FIRST THING YOU'VE WRITTEN.

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?

SOMETHING BETTER, WHICH HE'S PERSONALLY GOING TO LEAD ME IN

AT TONIGHT'S 9:00 MEETING.

I CALLED MY MOM.

SHE'S GOING TO BRING RACHEL UP IN THE MORNING.

I'LL HAVE TO USE THE CAR AGAIN.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

I'LL TAKE THE EL.

IT'S...

JEN, YOU'LL DO FINE.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

THIS IS A MAKE-IT OR BREAK-IT JOB, MARK.

I MEAN, IF I BLOW THIS CHANCE...

I WANTED TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH YOU.

WELL, YOU'LL BE BACK MONDAY.

I CAN'T.

RACHEL'S DAY CARE'S HAVING A HALLOWEEN PARTY MONDAY.

WHAT ABOUT TUESDAY?

I WORK TUESDAY.

WELL, MAYBE YOU CAN GET OFF.

JEN, WE'RE GOING TO FIGURE

THIS ALL OUT, OKAY?

IT'S JUST GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE TIME.

I'LL CALL YOU WHEN I GET UP THERE.

OKAY.

OKAY?

YEAH.

WELL, I'LL SEE YOU IN THE MORNING

ON THAT HEMICOLECTOMY.

THANK YOU FOR WAITING.

YOU READY?

MM-HMM.

GOOD.

THIS IS DR. ALEX BRADLEY.

HE'S IN CHARGE OF THE STARZL FELLOWSHIP THIS YEAR.

Bradley: YES, SIR.

PLEASE BE SEATED, DR. BENTON.

PLEASURE.

THANK YOU.

IT ISN'T OFTEN WE ENTERTAIN

THE CANDIDACY

OF A SECOND-YEAR SURGICAL RESIDENT.

YES. I FEEL VERY APPRECIATIVE

THAT YOU FEEL MY QUALIFICATIONS

ARE WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION.

EXCELLENT RECOMMENDATIONS.

OBVIOUSLY SOLID ACHIEVEMENT.

AS YOU KNOW, THE, UH, STARZL FELLOWSHIP

ALLOWS YOU TO STUDY WITH SURGICAL TRANSPLANT TEAMS.

HAVE YOU DONE RESEARCH

IN THAT AREA?

WELL, NOT DIRECTLY

BUT I'VE DONE SOME, UH...

ANY, UH, EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES?

UH, YES.

UH, I BELIEVE IT SAYS--

EXCUSE ME-- RIGHT THERE.

UH, THE A.O.A. HONOR SOCIETY?

RIGHT, BACK IN MEDICAL SCHOOL.

ANYTHING MORE RECENT?

NO, UM...

PETER HAS SHOWN SUPERIOR LEADERSHIP.

HIS STUDENTS COME OUT OF THE ROTATION

STRONGER THAN ANY I'VE SEEN.

WELL, THAT'S VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD INDEED.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR GOING

THROUGH THE QUALIFYING PROCESS.

WE WON'T MAKE A DECISION FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS

BUT YOU'LL HEAR FROM US THEN.

UH...

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

THANKS, PETER.

YOU DID GREAT.

YEAH? YEAH.

( door closes )

( sighs )

LYDIA, GIVE THIS MESSAGE TO CARTER FOR ME?

I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS LOOKING FOR AN APARTMENT.

THERE'S TWO IN MY BUILDING.

YEAH? THAT MAKES THREE.

GOOD NIGHT, LADIES.

GOOD NIGHT, JERRY.

Dr. Lewis: PAST MEDICAL HISTORY IS NOT AVAILABLE...

( continues dictating )

I HIRED MOOKIE TODAY. THAT "GANG KID."

MM-HMM.

CITIKIDS INTERN PROGRAM.

HE DOES VOLUNTEER WORK

THEY SUSPEND HIS SENTENCE

AND HE STAYS OUT OF JUVENILE HALL.

MM-HMM.

HE STARTS NEXT WEEK.

MM-HMM.

I PUT YOU DOWN AS HIS SUPERVISOR.

YOU SURE YOU DON'T MIND?

IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY.

I COULD USE A QUIET NIGHT.

THE LECTURE'S ON ADVANCES IN CARDIOMYOPATHY.

A ROOMFUL OF CARDIOLOGISTS.

I COULD HIT MY QUARTERLY QUOTA IN ONE NIGHT.

YOU SHOULDN'T MISS IT.

I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU THIS WEEKEND.

AFTER LAST WEEKEND, I BELIEVE YOU.

BYE.

( clearing throat )

WHAT?

WHEN ARE YOU SO EAGER TO BE STOOD UP?

EVEN I NEED REST.

THIS IS THE MURDOCH CHART

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL AFTERNOON.

CALL ME CRAZY, BUT THE BLACK DRESS

LOOKS BETTER WITHOUT THE LAB COAT.

JUST SHUT UP, OKAY?

I CAN BARELY DICTATE CHARTS LIKE THIS.

YOU CAN IN MY BOOK.

( Chloe screeching )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUSIE-CAKES.

* HAPPY BIRTHDAY

* TO YOU

EVERYBODY, COME ON.

* HAPPY BIRTHDAY...

* YOU LIVE IN A ZOO.

HEY, BILLY, THIS IS SUSIE.

ALL RIGHT. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

HEY, HOW DO YOU DO?

DOUG, THIS IS MY SISTER, CHLOE.

HI.

OH, AND THIS IS BILLY.

AND BILLY.

HI, BILLY.

NOW, WE'VE COME TO CELEBRATE.

OH, MAN.

I KNOW THIS REALLY COOL CLUB.

THERE'S DANCING AND EVERYTHING.

YOU'LL LOVE IT.

CHLOE, STOP IT!

I'LL GO LOOK AT THESE.

WHY DON'T YOU COME?

I GOT TO WORK.

COME ON.

CONGRATULATIONS.

GOOD NIGHT.

JERRY SAID TO GIVE THIS TO YOU

AND THERE'S A COUPLE IN MY BUILDING TOO.

WOW. IT'S LIKE THE PERFECT DAY.

WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GUYS ON, CHLOE, VODKA AND WHAT?

NOTHING. I JUST WANTED TO WISH YOU

A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

SO YOU SHOWED UP DRUNK

WITH A GUY YOU PROBABLY MET AN HOUR AGO?

I DID NOT.

BILLY CARES ABOUT ME

SO JUST LEAVE HIM OUT OF IT.

I THINK HE IS ALREADY OUT OF IT.

OH, IS HE STAYING AT MY PLACE TOO?

DID HE HELP YOU STEAL THE TV?

OH, YOU SHUT UP.

YOU JUST SHUT UP, SUSIE.

YOU ARE JUST LIKE MOM.

YOU'RE JUST LIKE DAD.

YOU'RE JUST ALWAYS HATING EVERYTHING THAT I DO.

NOTHING WAS EVER ANY DIFFERENT AT HOME FOR ME

THAN IT WAS FOR YOU.

SURE. SURE.

OH, GOD. I DON'T EVEN KNOW

WHY I'M HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.

THEY NEVER THOUGHT I COULD DO ANYTHING.

DO YOU THINK THEY THOUGHT I COULD GO TO MEDICAL SCHOOL?

BECOME A DOCTOR?

I HAD TO PROVE IT TO THEM.

SOMETIMES I STILL HAVE TO EVERY DAY.

YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT EVERY DAY!

YOU DON'T KNOW.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PAYING THE RENT!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY

ABOUT WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO SLEEP!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING A JOB!

( screaming )

CHLOE... CHLOE... CHLOE...

CHLOE, CHLOE. OKAY, OKAY. CALM DOWN.

ARE YOU OKAY?

Hathaway: TAKE IT EASY.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

Cvetic: YOU'RE SAFE HERE, CHLOE.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

DR. BENTON'S GOING TO FIX YOUR HAND

AND THEN IF YOU WANT

YOU AND I CAN TALK THROUGH ALL THIS.

OKAY?

YOU ARE PATHETIC.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I THOUGHT JENNIFER

WAS IN TOWN.

SO DID I.

I THOUGHT YOU HAD A DATE WITH THE DRUG LADY.

SHE WENT TO A LECTURE ON CARDIOMYOPATHY INSTEAD.

WOW, THAT STINGS.

ACTUALLY, I'M GLAD.

SHE MIGHT BE A LITTLE PERKY FOR ME.

PERKY? I THOUGHT YOU LIKED PERKY.

THIS IS TRUE

BUT LATELY, I HAVE FOUND MYSELF ATTRACTED

TO SULLEN AND WITHDRAWN AND CONFUSED.

YOU OUGHT TO GO OUT WITH ME.

I AM OUT WITH YOU.

OH MY, OH MY, OH MY.

COME ON.

I'M THE SHORT GUY HERE.

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH A LITTLE INFANTILE

SCHOOLYARD COMPETITION TO KIND OF BOOST THE SPIRITS.

OH, NO...

ALL RIGHT. HERE WE GO.

A LITTLE GAME OF ONE-ON-ONE TO 21.

A BUCK A POINT.

YOU'RE ON.

ALL RIGHT. READY?

MM-HMM.

THROUGH THE LEG.

THEY'RE STITCHING HER UP NOW.

SHE CAN SLEEP IT OFF IN ROOM THREE

AND BENTON SAID HE'D FIND SOMEWHERE TO THROW BILLY.

HE OUGHT TO FIND SOMEWHERE

TO LOCK HIM UP.

I TOLD YOU, I DON'T LIKE SURPRISES.

I'M SORRY.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I'M USED TO IT.

LET ME GET YOU OUT OF HERE.

WE CAN STILL GRAB SOME DINNER.

NO, I DON'T REALLY FEEL LIKE IT.

I THINK I'LL GO UP TOP, GRAB SOME AIR.

WANT SOME COMPANY?

NO.

CAN I COME OVER LATER?

UH... MAYBE.

I DON'T KNOW, DIV.

I'LL CALL YOU.

OKAY.

SO, UH...

YOU AND DOUG WERE GREAT TODAY.

WHAT?

THAT 12-YEAR-OLD KID, BOATING ACCIDENT.

OH, THANKS.

YEAH. ANOTHER TEN MINUTES

WE WOULD HAVE LOST HIM.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

Hathaway: DOUG?

HEY.

COME ON IN.

WORD CAME DOWN FROM THE O.R.

THE LITTLE KID FROM THE BOATING ACCIDENT

CAME THROUGH REALLY WELL.

THAT'S GREAT NEWS.

PRETTY STRANGE DAY, HUH?

YOU COULD SAY THAT.

I'LL TELL YOU

I COULD LIVE THE WHOLE THING ALL OVER AGAIN.

DOUG...

JOHN ASKED ME TO MOVE IN.

I THOUGHT I SHOULD TELL YOU I TOLD HIM I WOULD.

DID YOU DECIDE THIS THIS AFTERNOON?

WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT.

WHEN DID YOU DECIDE TO TELL HIM?

IT DOESN'T MATTER, DOUG.

WHAT HAPPENED WITH US THIS AFTERNOON, DOES THAT MATTER?

WHAT HAPPENED WAS AN ACCIDENT.

THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS.

LOOK, IT'S GREAT.

I MEAN... REALLY.

IT'S GREAT.

THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW.

I CAN'T FIND ANYBODY TO DRINK THIS WITH ME.

DON'T KNOW THAT I'M THE BEST CANDIDATE.

YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WITH A BIRTHDAY.

OH, PLEASE.

HOWEVER, YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE

WITH A CRAZY FAMILY.

MY DAD SAYS YOU SHOULD NEVER EVER DO THIS

WITH A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE.

NOW, IF THAT'S NOT CRAZY.

OKAY...

ARE YOU READY?

I DON'T THINK SO, BUT... OKAY.

OOH! AH!

THANKS.

YOU KNOW, CARTER

THIS IS A WHOLE SIDE OF YOU

I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I COME UP HERE A LOT.

YOU DO?

IF YOU WERE DR. BENTON'S STUDENT

YOU'D COME UP HERE A LOT TOO.

HOWEVER, TODAY WAS AN EXCELLENT DAY.

I PERFORMED MY FIRST LUMBAR PUNCTURE.

HOW WAS IT?

REALLY SCARY.

DR. GREENE TALKED ME THROUGH IT.

THE PATIENT DID HAVE MENINGITIS.

NOW HE'LL BE OKAY.

THAT'S WORTH A LITTLE SCARE.

YOU KNOW, CARTER, YOU CAN USE OUR FIRST NAMES.

YOU CALL ME CARTER.

YEAH, WELL... THAT'S DIFFERENT...

SOMEHOW.

SO YOUR SISTER'S REALLY STUCK

ON THIS GUY WITH GREASY HAIR?

I DOUBT SHE KNOWS HIS LAST NAME. WHY?

I WAS GOING

TO ASK HER OUT.

WHO ARE YOU?

I'M JUST KIDDING... SUSAN.

I GET IT... JOHN.

NO. DOESN'T SOUND RIGHT.

OKAY.

CALL ME CARTER.
