- LOL, ALOC. Where do you want her?
Copy !req
3. Curtain 3. I'll be right there.
Copy !req
4. Oh, yeah! Turn it up, Jer.
Copy !req
5. Go, girl, go!
Copy !req
6. - Have we got a deal?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
7. If you don't think I should be
an Attending, just say so.
Copy !req
8. I'm not comfortable with this
bargaining on Susan Lewis' behalf.
Copy !req
9. - It lacks dignity.
- Way of the world.
Copy !req
10. What happened to advancement
based solely on merit and ability?
Copy !req
11. It went out with hoop skirts
and smoking jackets.
Copy !req
12. - Damn it, Jerry, turn it down!
- So do we have a deal?
Copy !req
13. Hold on,
it's my favorite part right here.
Copy !req
14. - Now you can turn it down.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
15. Sorry, Dr. Weaver,
they made me do it.
Copy !req
16. Staff meeting starts in four minutes.
Copy !req
17. So you really think Susan Lewis
can make a good Chief Resident?
Copy !req
18. Yes, I do.
Copy !req
19. Okay, then.
Copy !req
20. What was that all about?
Copy !req
21. I think I just sold
my soul to the devil.
Copy !req
22. - What do you got?
- LOL, vitals normal, oriented times zero.
Copy !req
23. Lady Godiva was au naturel...
Copy !req
24. at Buckingham Fountain
singing songs from My Fair Lady.
Copy !req
25. Carousel.
"June Is Busting Out All Over"...
Copy !req
26. is Rogers and Hammerstein,
not Lerner and Loewe.
Copy !req
27. Just keep her restrained or she's
definitely gonna be busting all over.
Copy !req
28. And it ain't pretty.
Copy !req
29. CBC, Chem-7, tox screen,
glucose, non-contrast head CT.
Copy !req
30. - Ma'am, do you know your name?
- June...
Copy !req
31. - June? June what?
- Allyson. Allyson.
Copy !req
32. June Allyson, that's your name?
Copy !req
33. - Do you know your real name?
- Yes, I know my name.
Copy !req
34. - It's... I do.
- Don't worry. It's not important.
Copy !req
35. I know my name, I do...
Copy !req
36. Probably Alzheimer's.
Call the police.
Copy !req
37. See if anyone's reported her missing,
a family, a residential home.
Copy !req
38. She belongs somewhere.
She's too clean to be homeless.
Copy !req
39. I know, I know, but folks, if we can't
control our office supplies...
Copy !req
40. particularly paper expendables,
then Admin will control them for us.
Copy !req
41. So, please, tell your people,
no unnecessary Xeroxing, okay?
Copy !req
42. - Okay? Thank you, next item.
- All right.
Copy !req
43. Replacing Marty Cannon
as an Attending in the ER.
Copy !req
44. He's done a great job for us.
Thank you, Marty.
Copy !req
45. But he's leaving for greener
pastures at the University of Iowa.
Copy !req
46. Godspeed. Godspeed.
Copy !req
47. As for a replacement, Kerry Weaver
has everybody's vote except for Mark.
Copy !req
48. You've been dragging your feet on this.
Copy !req
49. You had a chance to kick this around.
Come to your senses?
Copy !req
50. - I think Kerry is a terrific choice.
- Oh. Well, that's great.
Copy !req
51. So you no longer have
any qualms about this?
Copy !req
52. You'll be together every day, week
after week, pulling on the same oar.
Copy !req
53. Teammates. Partners.
Copy !req
54. Seriously, Mark, if you're not excited
about it, I don't see how it can work.
Copy !req
55. - I'm looking forward to it. Really.
- That's great. Just great.
Copy !req
56. Well, good. Case closed.
Parking...
Copy !req
57. - What are you still doing here?
- Timing seemed a little off.
Copy !req
58. - You'll miss your appointment.
- I can reschedule.
Copy !req
59. No, you won't.
Copy !req
60. Bunch of crap anyway. I'm fine.
Copy !req
61. No, it's not.
You need to see somebody, Shep.
Copy !req
62. - I don't need to see no shrink.
- The hell you don't!
Copy !req
63. You're not sleeping,
you're losing weight...
Copy !req
64. God, I'm terrified
to get in the car with you.
Copy !req
65. I'm afraid if someone
cuts you off at a light...
Copy !req
66. you'll get out and beat them to death
with a tire iron.
Copy !req
67. You're starting to sound like Reilly.
Copy !req
68. - He's right.
- What?
Copy !req
69. - I lied for you to that investigator.
- You didn't lie for me.
Copy !req
70. Yeah, I did, and I'm not
gonna do it anymore.
Copy !req
71. No, you didn't lie for me,
and I'm not seeing a shrink.
Copy !req
72. Shep, you need help!
Copy !req
73. If you don't get it,
something awful's gonna happen.
Copy !req
74. You know what I need? I need
for everyone to stop pushing at me.
Copy !req
75. Pushing at me,
telling me what to do!
Copy !req
76. I just need a little time, okay?
I mean, is that okay?
Copy !req
77. Is that okay with you
and the whole city of Chicago?
Copy !req
78. Shep! It's only because
I care about you. Shep!
Copy !req
79. Everybody's gonna be there.
My folks, both sets of grandparents...
Copy !req
80. My sister flew in from Paris.
Copy !req
81. My godparents, my aunts, my uncles,
a whole bunch of my cousins.
Copy !req
82. Jeffrey, Jody, Rob, Sarah,
David, Keith, Barry...
Copy !req
83. - Margaret, Susan...
- Carter, Carter. Okay, look.
Copy !req
84. I don't need a family tree.
I get the picture.
Copy !req
85. So I was hoping that you
were maybe gonna come.
Copy !req
86. It's 4:00. You could stop by
and meet everybody.
Copy !req
87. Carter, I didn't even go
to my own graduation.
Copy !req
88. - They've heard a lot about you.
- All good, right?
Copy !req
89. Absolutely. Nothing but the best,
the very, very best.
Copy !req
90. If you can't make the graduation,
my dad's throwing a cocktail party...
Copy !req
91. at 6 at the Drake.
Good food, great wine.
Copy !req
92. It'll be my parents' stuffy friends, but
the mayor's supposed to come by...
Copy !req
93. Carter, you've got your residency.
Copy !req
94. I've turned in
the end-of-the-year evaluation.
Copy !req
95. Just relax. You don't have
to try to brown-nose me.
Copy !req
96. - I wasn't trying to brown-nose you.
- Well, I appreciate your invitation.
Copy !req
97. But I'm not going to your graduation
or to any cocktail party at the Drake.
Copy !req
98. Look, you were my assigned med student,
I was your assigned resident.
Copy !req
99. - You don't owe me anything, okay?
- All right.
Copy !req
100. All right, what have we got?
Copy !req
101. - Good morning, Carol.
- What's good about it?
Copy !req
102. - Kerry, you got it.
- Really? The Attending's job?
Copy !req
103. That's great! When do I start?
Copy !req
104. I don't know. I guess after
Marty Cannon leaves next month.
Copy !req
105. - Is the salary fixed or negotiable?
- Fixed, I guess.
Copy !req
106. - I didn't negotiate mine.
- There's usually a little wiggle room.
Copy !req
107. You'd have to discuss that
with Morgenstern.
Copy !req
108. And benefits? Pension plan through
the hospital or your own 401 K?
Copy !req
109. - Hospital, I guess. I never asked.
- This is really exciting.
Copy !req
110. We'll finally be able to facilitate
some real change around here.
Copy !req
111. Have you read Managing Through Example:
12 Steps to a More Efficient Workplace?
Copy !req
112. - No, I haven't.
- I'll lend you my copy.
Copy !req
113. I've highlighted
a number of passages.
Copy !req
114. - I hope you won't find that distracting.
- I'm sure I won't.
Copy !req
115. Mark, paramedics are 4 minutes out.
Male infant, respiratory distress.
Copy !req
116. Kerry, I do have your support,
Susan Lewis as chief, right?
Copy !req
117. Susan Lewis? You know, Linda Martin
would be awfully good too.
Copy !req
118. Kerry, we had a deal here.
Copy !req
119. Mark, I'm kidding.
Where is your sense of humor?
Copy !req
120. - You wouldn't.
- She isn't.
Copy !req
121. What are we talking about?
Copy !req
122. - Weaver's the new Attending.
- Oh, my God!
Copy !req
123. Don't look at me like that.
She's a good physician...
Copy !req
124. a terrific administrator,
and an excellent diagnostician.
Copy !req
125. It was the right choice.
I'm glad I made it, and that's it.
Copy !req
126. - Oh, man, it's gonna be a long year.
- It's forever.
Copy !req
127. Two-day-old male infant,

Copy !req
130. - Heel-stick glucose?
- You bet.
Copy !req
131. - When did he come home?
- Yesterday morning.
Copy !req
132. - 12 hours later?
- They said it was okay.
Copy !req
133. - We wanted to stay longer.
- He's in heart failure.
Copy !req
134. - Where's Ross?
- I'll find him.
Copy !req
135. I'll put in an umbilical line.
Prep 0. 1 Dig.

- His lungs are filled with fluid.
Copy !req
138. Conni, will you show them
to the waiting room?
Copy !req
139. - No, I want to stay!
- Come on.
Copy !req
140. - Come on, honey.
- Dig 0. 1.
Copy !req
141. - Lasix?
- Yeah, 4 mgs.
Copy !req
142. ABG, CBC, Chem-7,
chest x-ray and an EKG.
Copy !req
143. Temp's 98.2, glucose 110.
Copy !req
144. Somebody sent a mother and a child
home after one night.
Copy !req
145. Welcome to managed care.
Copy !req
146. Who gives a damn what
the insurance company wants?
Copy !req

a newborn home after one night?
Copy !req
148. Our kind.
Joseph Morgan Randall...
Copy !req
149. delivered on the 5th floor
in OB two days ago.
Copy !req
150. Chuny, could you do me a favor?
I need you to draw some blood.
Copy !req
151. I'm kind of busy right now.
You can't do it yourself?
Copy !req
152. - I need you to draw some of my blood.
- Al?
Copy !req
153. Yeah, I've been putting it off.
Copy !req
154. - Sure, do you want to do it right now?
- If you don't mind. Nobody's in 4.
Copy !req
155. Dr. Davitch? I'm John Carter,
med student. I met you once last year.
Copy !req
156. - I'm on rounds, Mr. Carter.
- Yeah, I can see that.
Copy !req
157. Talia Lucas, I've been keeping an
eye on her, you moved her last night.
Copy !req
158. - Yes, I did.
- I thought she was Dr. Berglass' patient.
Copy !req
159. He's attending his daughter's wedding
in London. I'm covering for him.
Copy !req
160. - Her ascending cholangitis worsened?
- She's not responding to antibiotics.
Copy !req
161. I'm worried about Pseudomonas,
so I moved her up to the ICU...
Copy !req
162. and I jumped her to Status 1
on the transplant list.
Copy !req
163. - Do you know her parents?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
164. They're in the waiting room.
Why don't you join me.
Copy !req
165. - They don't know yet?
- It's been a busy morning, Mr. Carter.
Copy !req
166. Hey, everybody. Miss me?
Oh, a little one.
Copy !req
167. Two days. Cyanotic in the crib,
no detectable murmur, CHF.
Copy !req

Copy !req
171. RAH, RVH, no Q-wave in V6.
Copy !req
172. Hyperventilate him. Get an amp of
Prostin VR down here now, please.
Copy !req
173. - What the hell is it?
- Hypoplastic left heart syndrome.
Copy !req
174. - They sent her home the next morning?
- Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am.
Copy !req
175. Damn it.
All right, let's get an echo.
Copy !req
176. Find out who's on call
for Pediatric Cardiology, please.
Copy !req
177. Is he gonna make it?
Copy !req
178. If we keep the ductus arteriosus open,
he's got a shot.
Copy !req
179. Son of a bitch!
Copy !req
180. Mr. and Mrs. Lucas?
Hi, I'm Dr. Davitch.
Copy !req
181. Dr. Berglass is out of the country
for a few days.
Copy !req
182. You already know Mr. Carter,
I believe.
Copy !req
183. They told us T.C. had been moved
to Intensive Care.
Copy !req
184. Unfortunately, your daughter's
condition has worsened overnight.
Copy !req
185. She's not responding
to the antibiotics.
Copy !req
186. I don't have much confidence that
her liver will function much longer.
Copy !req
187. So we have moved her from Status 2
to Status 1 on the transplant list.
Copy !req
188. We're gonna do everything we can
for her while we wait.
Copy !req
189. So she'll get
the transplant operation soon?
Copy !req
190. - That will certainly be our hope.
- How soon?
Copy !req
191. Mr. Carter, you're familiar with
the UNIS procedure, aren't you?
Copy !req
192. Mr. Carter will answer your questions
and take you back to see your daughter.
Copy !req
193. Why don't we take a seat?
Copy !req
194. D.A. is open,
so he's still got a fighting chance.
Copy !req
195. I'm gonna go tell his parents.
This is unbelievable.
Copy !req
196. There is an ugly, vicious rumor
going around. Kerry Weaver...
Copy !req
197. - Don't start with me.
- So it's true.
Copy !req
198. What is everyone so upset about?
Kerry Weaver's not that bad.
Copy !req
199. - She's great.
- She grows on you.
Copy !req
200. You been hitting the Prozac again?
Copy !req
201. I got a call from a pharmacy
on the North Side looking for you.
Copy !req
202. You gave a prescription
for a hundred Percodan.
Copy !req
203. Karen Hines. Isn't that
that redhead you been seeing?
Copy !req
204. - Yeah, she's got a bad knee.
- A hundred? Pretty bad knee.
Copy !req
205. She travels a lot, doesn't know
when she'll be able to get them.
Copy !req
206. Mark, I need you in there.
Rule out Ml.
Copy !req
207. - You told them it was okay?
- Yeah, I told them you'd call.
Copy !req
208. Damn...
Copy !req
209. Jeanie!
Copy !req
210. - Hi.
- Hi. How did your appointment go?
Copy !req
211. - They gave me a bunch of stuff to read.
- You should read it.
Copy !req
212. Thanks for staying last night.
Copy !req
213. It's tough the first night
home from the hospital.
Copy !req
214. My health plan
assigned me a doctor.
Copy !req
215. - A Dr. Arabian. You know him?
- No. I'll ask around.
Copy !req
216. Thanks.
Copy !req
217. He said that my CD4 count is 450.
Copy !req
218. - He sounded excited about that.
- Yeah, that's good.
Copy !req
219. What is it supposed to be?
Copy !req
220. Fifteen hundred.
Copy !req
221. He gave me a lot of stuff.
Copy !req
222. AZT, something called 3TC
and Sacinaver.
Copy !req
223. - Saquinavir.
- Whatever. It's gonna cost a fortune.
Copy !req
224. And...
Copy !req
225. he gave me a couple
of packets of condoms too.
Copy !req
226. Kind of seems like the horse
is out of the barn on that one.
Copy !req
227. - It was a joke.
- It wasn't funny.
Copy !req
228. - You get tested yet?
- Yeah. It's not back yet.
Copy !req
229. The doctor said I may have been
HIV-positive for as long as 10 years.
Copy !req
230. He wants me to make a list
of all my...
Copy !req
231. past sexual contacts,
let them know.
Copy !req
232. - It's gonna be quite a list.
- That's not much to be proud of now.
Copy !req
233. Wasn't much to be proud of then.
Copy !req
234. Well, I better go home.
I got a lot of reading to do.
Copy !req
235. If that baby'd stayed in the hospital,
somebody would've picked up on it.
Copy !req
236. Most babies are fine
going home the next day.
Copy !req
237. A lot of problems don't
declare themselves right away.
Copy !req
238. - Intussusception, pyloric stenosis.
- People trust us.
Copy !req
239. The woman took her baby home
because we told her it was safe.
Copy !req
240. Every dollar we spend
on a healthy postpartum mother...
Copy !req
241. is another dollar we don't have
to help someone else.
Copy !req
242. There's something
you don't see every day.
Copy !req
243. - I thought she was in restraints.
- She was.
Copy !req
244. - Malik, could you give me a hand?
- Do I have to?
Copy !req
245. Hold that elevator!
Copy !req
246. - Dr. Benton.
- Dr. Vucelich.
Copy !req
247. Congratulations on being named
Resident of the Year.
Copy !req
248. Thank you. I understand that you
were instrumental in my selection.
Copy !req
249. No, I merely expressed my opinion.
Glad that others concurred.
Copy !req
250. - I read your aortic aneurism study.
- Yes, it's been very well received.
Copy !req
251. The drug company granted the hospital
over 3 million dollars...
Copy !req
252. for Phase 4 trials,
additional research facilities...
Copy !req
253. You know, I...
Copy !req
254. I couldn't help but notice
the inclusion...
Copy !req
255. of the negative-outcome patients
that we discussed.
Copy !req
256. It seemed prudent course,
given the circumstances.
Copy !req
257. They weren't, however, statistically
significant in the final analysis.
Copy !req
258. Well, I was glad
to see them there anyway.
Copy !req
259. Yes, I'm sure you were.
Copy !req
260. - Carter... Armani?
- Hugo Boss.
Copy !req
261. Nice.
Copy !req
262. The parents of that kid with liver
failure called. They had some questions.
Copy !req
263. Some more questions.
I spent an hour with them this morning.
Copy !req
264. I'm supposed to meet my folks
at Trotter's for lunch in 20 minutes.
Copy !req
265. - They called three times?
- Five. I quit writing it down.
Copy !req
266. If they call again, tell them I'll be up
later. My father hates it when I'm late.
Copy !req
267. Mr. Carter, you got a minute?
Copy !req
268. I'm completing the assignments
for the first-year surgical interns.
Copy !req
269. We're breaking all the surgical residents
into teams next year.
Copy !req
270. You indicated on
your application form...
Copy !req
271. that you're interested in Vascular,
Neurosurgery and Plastics rotations?
Copy !req
272. - Absolutely.
- Good.
Copy !req
273. - I've got one spot left on the red team.
- Really?
Copy !req
274. It'll be primarily second-
and third-year residents...
Copy !req
275. but seeing as you're
our only locally-grown prodigy...
Copy !req
276. we'll give you
the home field advantage.
Copy !req
277. - It'll be quite a leg up on your peers.
- I'd be honored.
Copy !req
278. Dr. Langdon will be your supervising
resident. Do you know Nancy?
Copy !req
279. Sure, she's great. So I won't be
working under Dr. Benton anymore?
Copy !req
280. No, Dr. Benton will be anchoring
the blue team next year.
Copy !req
281. General surgery, the ER, proctology,
real meat-and-potato stuff.
Copy !req
282. Unless you'd rather be with Benton?
Copy !req
283. - No, I was hoping for the red team.
- Good. Excellent.
Copy !req
284. - Dr. Morgenstern.
- Peter.
Copy !req
285. - Weaver will support you as chief.
- Really? We should talk about that.
Copy !req
286. - Dr. Greene, your wife called.
- Ex-wife.
Copy !req
287. Right. She said you're late for lunch.
She's mad as hell.
Copy !req
288. With Weaver on board, it's a lock.
You wanna have dinner and celebrate?
Copy !req
289. I don't know. Check with me later.
Copy !req
290. - Mr. Brannigan?
- Kenny, please.
Copy !req
291. I'm Dr. Lewis.
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
Copy !req
292. At least she stopped singing.
Copy !req
293. - So you've had a persistent cough?
- For a couple of months.
Copy !req
294. - Coughing up any blood?
- No. Well, not much.
Copy !req
295. - But some.
- Once or twice. No big deal.
Copy !req
296. I pour concrete for a living,
so stuff gets in your lungs.
Copy !req
297. - Are you a smoker, Kenny?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
298. - You're not gonna lecture me?
- It's not like I have to.
Copy !req
299. - So how much do you smoke?
- A couple of packs a day.
Copy !req
300. - Sometimes more, sometimes less.
- 120 over 80.
Copy !req
301. When was the last time
you had a tuberculosis test?
Copy !req
302. - I don't go to doctors much.
- All that lecturing, I guess.
Copy !req
303. Sorry I'm late.
Copy !req
304. - Like old times.
- Nice to see you too.
Copy !req
305. If this is about getting Rachel
this weekend, you can forget it...
Copy !req
306. because I got tickets
for the Cubbies on Saturday.
Copy !req
307. - Rachel hates baseball.
- That's not true.
Copy !req
308. This weekend's fine, Mark.
That's fine.
Copy !req
309. - You gonna finish those fries?
- Go right ahead.
Copy !req
310. I can't eat this food. This place
should have been shut down years ago.
Copy !req
311. The hospital fights to keep it open.
It's good for business.
Copy !req
312. Food poisoning, stomach pumping,
gastroenteritis.
Copy !req
313. This joint's a gold mine.
Copy !req
314. Craig and I are getting married.
Copy !req
315. - What?
- In September.
Copy !req
316. You're kidding.
Copy !req
317. I didn't want you to hear it
from Rachel.
Copy !req
318. Rachel knows?
Copy !req
319. She's excited.
She's helping me pick out a dress.
Copy !req
320. Something non-traditional, I hope.
Perhaps in red.
Copy !req
321. I knew you weren't
gonna be happy about this...
Copy !req
322. but I thought
I should be the one to tell you.
Copy !req
323. You should've kept the goatee.
It made you look dangerous.
Copy !req
324. Hey!
Copy !req
325. Hey yourself!
Copy !req
326. - School let out early?
- Well, I was on all night.
Copy !req
327. Looks like you're still
gainfully employed.
Copy !req
328. I'm on probation.
Copy !req
329. I lose another 250 grand,
I'm back to card counting in Vegas.
Copy !req
330. - Really, you did that?
- In a previous lifetime. Don't ask.
Copy !req
331. So how's your knee?
Copy !req
332. It's okay. How's yours?
Copy !req
333. The prescription that I wrote out
for the Percodan...
Copy !req
334. was for 10 tablets.
Copy !req
335. You know, I wondered about that.
The damned things cost me a fortune.
Copy !req
336. So you didn't change it to a hundred?
Copy !req
337. No, I didn't.
Copy !req
338. Prescription pads for narcotics,
they come in triplicate.
Copy !req
339. I can check my copy.
Copy !req
340. - Maybe you should do that.
- Maybe I should.
Copy !req
341. Count them, boyfriend.
They're all there.
Copy !req
342. - I don't need to count them.
- Sure you do.
Copy !req
343. Mr. Brannigan, sorry it took so long.
Copy !req
344. - Do you have a personal physician?
- No.
Copy !req
345. You have a density in your left lung.
Copy !req
346. - Tuberculosis?
- I don't think so.
Copy !req
347. - Cancer.
- We need more tests to rule that out.
Copy !req
348. How much are these tests
of yours gonna cost?
Copy !req
349. Do you have insurance?
Copy !req
350. No, I work construction for a lot
of different companies. No benefits.
Copy !req
351. - Maybe you qualify for Medicaid?
- When my last kid was born, we didn't.
Copy !req
352. It cost me a couple of grand.
Still trying to pay that off.
Copy !req
353. Well, I can't tell you exactly
how much the tests will cost.
Copy !req
354. We could get someone down from
Admitting, if you have any questions.
Copy !req
355. I got a couple of kids
and a mortgage.
Copy !req
356. And I'm just scraping by as it is.
Copy !req
357. You have a potentially serious condition
which needs immediate evaluation.
Copy !req
358. Mr. Brannigan,
you really need to stay here.
Copy !req
359. - Mark, Loretta's back.
- Oh, no. What this time?
Copy !req
360. I think she's frightened and
overwhelmed by the surgery.
Copy !req
361. They only released her yesterday.
I started an IV. She's in 4.
Copy !req
362. Tell her I'll be down as soon as I can.
Make sure that she's comfortable.
Copy !req
363. - So we're just gonna let him leave?
- Do you want to tackle the guy?
Copy !req
364. He said that he can't afford it.
Who am I to say that he can?
Copy !req
365. A full course of chemo and radiation
will cost him minimum fifty grand.
Copy !req
366. I don't understand
what we're arguing about.
Copy !req
367. You let the hospital bill him. He can
declare bankruptcy if he has to.
Copy !req
368. And if he dies, he leaves his wife
and children in bankruptcy?
Copy !req
369. At least he wouldn't be dead.
Copy !req
370. I advised him to stay, he chose
to leave. That's his prerogative.
Copy !req
371. - What are you doing out here?
- Enjoying the fresh air and sunshine.
Copy !req
372. Last few months, whenever I can,
I like to get outside.
Copy !req
373. - It's about time you gave those up.
- My last vice.
Copy !req
374. - So they sent you home yesterday.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
375. - I don't think I was ready.
- Been able to eat anything?
Copy !req
376. I haven't been able
to keep anything down.
Copy !req
377. - How are the kids?
- Hell on wheels.
Copy !req
378. - I wanted to ask you something.
- Shoot.
Copy !req
379. I was wondering if you'd
be guardian to my kids.
Copy !req
380. Not that anything bad
is ever gonna happen to me.
Copy !req
381. It's just that they don't have anybody.
My folks are dead. They like you.
Copy !req
382. I know it's a lot to ask.
But they're really good kids.
Copy !req
383. - What about their father?
- Fathers. Plural.
Copy !req
384. Good luck. I never could
quite figure that one out.
Copy !req
385. You don't have to answer now,
I have time. At least a little bit, I think.
Copy !req
386. - I'm honored you'd ask...
- But you can't.
Copy !req
387. No, I can't. Sorry.
Copy !req
388. Besides, you're gonna make it.
Copy !req
389. Damn right I am.
Copy !req
390. - Hey, you're up. How are you feeling?
- Kind of tired.
Copy !req
391. Where are your folks?
They were looking for me earlier.
Copy !req
392. They went downstairs
to get something to eat.
Copy !req
393. In the cafeteria? Big mistake.
Copy !req
394. My mom just kept crying.
Copy !req
395. I think my Dad was worried
she was gonna scare me.
Copy !req
396. Well, tell them I stopped by.
I gotta go.
Copy !req
397. I'm graduating in half an hour
and I'm late.
Copy !req
398. Everybody in here looks pretty sick.
Copy !req
399. Yeah, well, they get better.
It just takes time.
Copy !req
400. The boy who was in that bed,
I don't think he got better.
Copy !req
401. Am I gonna die?
Copy !req
402. You're very sick, T.C.
Copy !req
403. My mom says I'm Status 1.
What does that mean?
Copy !req
404. That means that as soon as the next
liver's available, you get first dibs.
Copy !req
405. Somebody has to die, right?
Copy !req
406. - Yeah.
- Kind of weird.
Copy !req
407. There's kids out there,
and they're okay.
Copy !req
408. And I'm here waiting for
something bad to happen to them.
Copy !req
409. You're not making
that bad thing happen.
Copy !req
410. - I gotta go. I'll see you later.
- How long till I have an operation?
Copy !req
411. Could be a week, could be two,
could be less.
Copy !req
412. Could be anytime.
Copy !req
413. What if nothing bad happens
to anybody this week?
Copy !req
414. It will.
Copy !req
415. Unfortunately, something bad is always
happening to somebody, somewhere.
Copy !req
416. Like what's happening to me, right?
Copy !req
417. Want me to stay for a little while,
till your folks come back?
Copy !req
418. Yeah, that'd be great.
If it's okay.
Copy !req
419. Sure, I can be
a couple of minutes late.
Copy !req
420. Oh, man, this day just
gets worse and worse.
Copy !req
421. Hey, Mark. Linda Martin?
Was she the only choice?
Copy !req
422. - I think she's kind of a bitch.
- For what?
Copy !req
423. - Chief Resident.
- She is kind of a bitch.
Copy !req
424. Linda Martin is not gonna be
Chief Resident. Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
425. She is gonna be chief.
It's on the memo.
Copy !req
426. Damn it!
Copy !req
427. - Jerry! Where the hell is Weaver?
- Trauma 1.
Copy !req
428. You said you'd support
Susan for chief.
Copy !req
429. Julio Cadena, meet Mark Greene.

Copy !req
438. Al's got AIDS.
Copy !req
439. - Conni, give us a moment, will you?
- I'm just after some coffee.
Copy !req
440. I'll bring you a cup
in a few minutes, all right?
Copy !req
441. Sure. Cream, no sugar.
Copy !req
442. I got tested today,
but I don't have the results.
Copy !req
443. I know what you're thinking, because I
was where you are now a few days ago.
Copy !req
444. You want to feel concern for me, but
you are wondering, "What about me? "
Copy !req
445. Al and I barely had sex, much less
a marriage these last few years.
Copy !req
446. You and I were careful,
but not that careful.

- No, no, just my leg!
Copy !req
456. You were wearing your helmet,
Monique. That's really good.
Copy !req

Copy !req
478. - How's she doing?
- I'm okay.
Copy !req
479. Yeah, she's hanging in there.
Copy !req
480. I hope you didn't
have to be anywhere.

I'm gonna go and then come back...
Copy !req

Copy !req
526. Yeah, that's right, I am.
Copy !req
527. It's kind of weird. I...
Copy !req
528. I don't know any more
than I knew this morning.
Copy !req
529. I really wanted to graduate too.
Well...
Copy !req
530. Anyway...
Copy !req
531. Take care of yourself, Carter.
Copy !req
532. Right.
Copy !req
533. - Hey.
- Hey yourself.
Copy !req
534. - Carol Hathaway just quit.
- I heard. What was that all about?
Copy !req
535. You got me.
Copy !req
536. - You turned down chief?
- Yes, I did.
Copy !req
537. I agreed to support Kerry Weaver
as Attending...
Copy !req
538. because she agreed
to support you as chief.
Copy !req
539. - I didn't ask you to do that.

Any of us?
Copy !req
545. And how are we gonna fill that time?
Copy !req
546. I had something. Little Susie.
Copy !req
547. And now I don't.
All I have is this. Work.
Copy !req
548. You know what, Mark?
That's not enough.
Copy !req
549. - What are you doing here?
- Waiting for you.
Copy !req
550. You don't have your keys?
Copy !req
551. - Why are you still wearing your scrubs?
- I quit.
Copy !req
552. - You're kidding.
- No, to hell with them.
Copy !req
553. - You can't quit! You're great at it.
- I'm sick of it.
Copy !req
554. They kept cutting back my shifts,
making me work more nights.
Copy !req
555. I'll make more doing home care
or per diem.
Copy !req
556. You're never gonna see that shrink,
are you?
Copy !req
557. Why couldn't we just keep going
the way we were?
Copy !req
558. I was happy.
Were you happy?
Copy !req
559. Things change.
It's not my fault, it's not your fault.
Copy !req
560. Raul died. It's a terrible thing,
but something happened to you, Shep.

563. I can't do this, Shep.
Copy !req
564. I have finally gotten my life together.
It's taken me a long time.
Copy !req
565. You need help.
Copy !req
566. I love you, but you need help.
Copy !req
567. And if you can't get it together
to get that help...
Copy !req
568. I can't be with you.
Copy !req
569. I can't.
Copy !req
570. - Jennifer's getting married again.
- Really? That was quick.
Copy !req
571. I was hoping to be the first one to get
remarried, at least live with someone.
Copy !req
572. It makes me seem kind of pathetic,
don't you think?
Copy !req
573. She's planning her guest list...
Copy !req
574. and I'm still fumbling around
with pick-up lines in singles bars.
Copy !req
575. It gets you off the hook
with the alimony, though.
Copy !req
576. I wasn't paying any.
She makes more money than I do.
Copy !req
577. - I never really liked her.
- You acted like you did.
Copy !req
578. I just did that to make you feel better.
I never cared for her.
Copy !req
579. She's unsupportive,
controlling, manipulative...
Copy !req
580. - You want me to go on?
- Please, I'm enjoying it.
Copy !req
581. Demanding, skinny legs...
Copy !req
582. - Why were you looking at my wife's legs?
- I'm your buddy, I'm not dead.
Copy !req
583. - I'm just saying you can do better.
- Thanks. Thank you.
Copy !req
584. Listen to this, I talked to Karen
about the Percodan.
Copy !req
585. - You didn't prescribe that many?
- The prescription was for 10.
Copy !req
586. - What did she say?
- She denied it, said it was a mix-up.
Copy !req
587. And she gave them back,
actually she threw them back at me.
Copy !req
588. - Do you believe her?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
589. Get away from her,
she sounds like trouble.
Copy !req
590. - Yeah, you're right, I probably should.
- But you're not going to?
Copy !req
591. - She's kind of cute.
- Well, she's got great legs.
Copy !req
592. - You look at my girlfriend's legs?
- I'm your friend, I'm not dead.
Copy !req
593. - What else did you notice about her?
- You want a list?
Copy !req
594. Dr. Morgenstern,
you were looking for me?
Copy !req
595. Yeah, we missed you at graduation.
Where were you?
Copy !req
596. With a patient.
How was the ceremony?
Copy !req
597. One of the best in years. Pomp and
circumstance, all the trimmings.
Copy !req
598. If you'll excuse me, it's very late,
and I'm finally on my way home.
Copy !req
599. I was wondering if it's too late to
change my choice for team next year.
Copy !req
600. I was hoping to sign up
for the blue team.
Copy !req
601. Once you switch selection,
there's no going back.
Copy !req
602. Yes, sir, I know. I was still
hoping for the blue team.
Copy !req
603. I'm sure Dr. Benton will be very
pleased to have you on his team.
Copy !req
604. - See you in a few months.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
605. Hey, Carter, Dr. Benton left
something down here for you.
Copy !req
606. What do you call the one who graduates
last in his class from medical school?
Copy !req
607. - What?
- Doctor!
Copy !req
608. - What are you still doing here?
- Just hanging out.
Copy !req
609. Well, wanna try out
that new white coat? MVA.
Copy !req

Copy !req
616. We've got three more on the scene.
Guy in a pick-up came up the off-ramp...
Copy !req
