And I do it with one pee break.
- Mm-hmm.
- You think that's easy? How long can you hold it up there? - Don't know.
Don't plan to find out.
Human beings were not meant to do anything at 30,000 feet.
- They weren't meant to have heart attacks Getting their corns shaved at happy nails either, But it happened to me.
- Death will find you anywhere.

No offense.
- Why would I take offense? - You keep cooling your jets, nothing but strict bed rest.
- Hey.
- Just, uh, checked in on erika.
She's lucky to have you as her nurse.
- Why is that? - [chuckles.]
Well, it's good to have someone that's gone through A similar experience to talk to.
- She may not need to talk to anybody.
I mean, really, what is there to say? Anyway, she has her fiance.
- Did you talk to anyone when you got out, Like a therapist, a group? - Yeah I'm not really, like, a joiner.
I mean, I don't really see myself trotting Down to a church basement to drink bad coffee.
All of that talking and sharing.
- Come on.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
Just jump right in.
Talk.
Share.
- Oh, right.
Of course.
What do you do, a veteran's group? - Every Tuesday.
- But you like people better than I do.
I'm emotionally immature, okay? We're not even talking about feelings right now.
We are talking about a place where people go To talk about feelings and I'm freaking out.
- Seriously? You know, I could offer you a prescription for that.
- Do you really want me showing up for your group? I thought that we weren't friends.
- We're not friends.
Besides, I didn't invite you to my group.
Go find your own group.
- Fine.
I'll find my own church basement.
I just hope I don't accidentally walk into an aa meeting.
- Well, come on, let's be honest.
You could probably use that too.

But I am worried about the infection.
I think you're gonna have to stay with us for a few days.
- I know they say don't feed raccoons, But we had a thing.
Every night for the last two years after conan.
I named her wanda.
- Dad said it would turn on her.
Wait, what happens when you get rabies, anyway? Hello Nurse chick.
- Hmm? Oh, um, rabies, it's, uh, seizures, delirium, paralysis, Foaming of the mouth, swelling of the brain.
You do not want rabies.
It's bad.
Believe me.
- Although what nurse chloe says is accurate, It's not gonna happen.
First of all, you probably don't have rabies, And secondly, we have a vaccine.
- Well, here she is.
Fell for the old peanut butter on a poison apple gambit.

- I thought that's what you were going for.
- I'll work your night shift next week.
Three night shifts? I'll throw in thanksgiving.
- So no animals on your clothing, no pastels, No large buttons.
We want v- or scoop necks, we want solid colors, We want clothes that fit.
Did I tell you to pick that up? Put that down.
- Sorry.
- Clothes tell the world who you are.
You are an adult.
You are not a silly person.
You are not going to dress like a silly person.
Now get in there and try on some slutty stuff.
- Mike thinks we should do Couple's counseling with a priest.
- That such a bad idea? - Yes.
I like my feelings pushed down, compressed.
So they come out at random and inappropriate times.
- You have a system.
- Mm-hmm.
I do.
I just-- Mike thinks I'm mad at him because of his affairs.
Maybe I should just come clean.
- Are you crazy? Mike messed around with a few random skanks.
He did not have an affair.
You had an affair.
You fell in love.
- Mm - Mike is not gonna get over that.
If you want your marriage to work, You don't say a word about dr.
Operation freedom.
You let mike take all the blame.
- Okay, I feel-- I feel naked.
- Naked is good.
Boys like naked.
- Who's the guy? - Nobody.
- Well, you better find a reason To walk by mr.
Nobody a few times today.
- Hi, mrs.
Kalinowski.
- Hi.
- Okay, no big surprise.
But wanda tested positive for rabies.
- Okay Uh, so what happens now? - Well, there's a vaccine.
It's four shots.
It's not pleasant, but we'll get through it.
- I'll call insurance right away to get approval.
- Okay, good, thanks a bunch, payne.
And I'll check in with you later.
- Did you get, like, a boob job at lunch or something? - [sighs.]
- Veronica.
- Ron.
Hi.
- I lost erika's prescription, So I had to come back for another.
- How's she doing? - I don't know.
She's bad, I think.
I mean, that's to be expected, right? But I'm worried, though.
I don't know what to do.
- You know, we have a number you can call To hook her up with a therapist.
- Yeah, she says she doesn't want to talk to a stranger, But she doesn't want to talk to me either.
- She might just need some time.
Just be there for her.
In the meantime let me get you that number just in case.
- I know it was weak, father.
It was the worst thing I ever did.
And I keep saying I'm sorry, But after a while those words don't mean anything anymore.
So I try to show her, But I feel like we keep hitting this wall.
- Hey, slumpy.
How do you feel about what mike just said? - Excuse me? - Your husband just gave a pretty heart-wrenching apology.
You want to respond? - Oh, we've talked about this before.
I'm good.
- You don't seem good.
This is a marriage, veronica.
You have to participate.
- No offense, father, but you've never been married.
- I was married for 15 years.
She died of breast cancer.
How 'bout we don't make assumptions about each other? - Sorry.
- What was it like being away at war? - Good luck with that line of questioning, father gus.
She never talks about iraq.
- You never ask.
- I don't ask anymore.
I asked plenty for a long time.
I broke my leg when she was gone.
Fell off a roof; this is right before I, uh I cheated.
I couldn't work.
I had to go on disability.
I mean, it was hard for me.
And I wrote her these epic emails.
She never responded to any of them.
- I was a little busy.
- You wrote back eventually.
You know what you said? "miss you.
Hope you're good.
" Then you signed it with one of those smiley faces With the colon and the parentheses.
"hope you're good, smiley face.
" What does that even mean? I mean, who sends a smiley face from iraq? What the hell is that? - I don't know what you want, mike.
- What do I want? I want to know what it was like for you over there.
I want you to stop having nightmares.
I want my best friend back.
I just want us to be happy.
- Veronica, Do you want this to work? Do you want to be happy? - Of course I want to be happy.
How did this become about me? He-- - He's a dumbass who needs to keep his pants on.
But he's trying.
You're the one who's stonewalling.
Are you committed to this marriage? - I'm here.
- Is that what you think commitment is? That's not commitment.
You commit by opening yourself.
You commit by letting him in and accepting his apology.
You commit by accepting as an undeniable fact That your future is intertwined with mike's.
You commit by utterly and completely surrendering.
Otherwise you've got one foot out the door.
Do you have one foot out the door, veronica? - No.
- You might want to work on your delivery.
- What do you mean we're out of the vaccine? We're a hospital.
- It happens more often than you think, And actually I'm about to clock out, so - And what am I supposed to tell mrs.
Kalinowski? "oh, it just happens more often than you think"? - Rabies have gotten so bad that helicopters Are dropping vaccine bait in the middle of the woods.
- Really? That's so interesting.
She could die.
- There is a shortage.
I have it on back order.
I mean, does she have symptoms? - Wally, when you exhibit symptoms of rabies It's too late, and then you die.
This is serious.
She needs the shot and she needs it now.
What am I supposed to tell her? - I don't know, but you should probably Take that panicked look off your face.
- Okay.
Um, little hiccup.
We are actually out of the rabies vaccine.
- Excuse me? What do you mean you're out of vaccine? This is a hospital.
- Yeah, um, there's a shortage.
Did you know that? Uh, helicopters are actually Now dropping vaccine bait into the woods.
Isn't that interesting? - No.
- Okay.
Uh, so-- So the pharmacist is making calls, And dr.
Sands is sure we can track it down.
- I have rabies.
- Wait, what happens if she gets symptoms? - You know, I'm just-- I'm gonna go ahead and get a jump on this.
[elevator beeps.]
- Uh, I'm looking for sonia.
- Dominic.
What are you doing here? Come on.
- I'm sorry, but it's getting worse.
There's stuff oozing out, and my chest feels like it's on fire.
- Well, did you keep the bandages on? - No.
I don't feel so good, sone.
- You have an infection.
Look, I'll get you something, all right? But you can't be here.
Those stitches didn't just magically appear.
If they find out who put them there I could lose my job.
So you got to go.
Come on.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- What, are you on a break? - No.
- Oh, well, did you get captain barbera's test results? - Lab's backed up.
- Well can you go down there and see what the problem is? - I just told you the problem.
The lab's backed up.
- Well, I need those numbers.
Pay them a visit.
Put the pressure on.
- Well, I could, but I've got five other patients And a thoracentesis to set up, so if you need them now, The lab is on the second floor, last door on your left.
- Sonia.
I want us to put our patients first.
And you do have time for a conversation with your friend.
- Fine.
Oh, by the way, um, Dr.
Underhill was looking for you.
He says it's really important.
- Who? - Well, why didn't you tell me? - Got a bounce back.
- Don't tell me mr.
Phillips Pulled his colostomy bag off again.
- 30 sleeping pills and a vodka chaser.
She got charcoal in the e.
R.
- Erika? What happened? - [crying.]
I'm sorry.
I can't do it.
I shouldn't-- I shouldn't be here.
I wish you hadn't saved me.
- Try to rest.
Take me off this case.
[saw whirs.]
[neko case's at last.]
- * I can say that I've lived here * [lock clicks.]
* in honor and danger * * but I'm just an animal * * and cannot explain a life * * down this chain of days * * I wish to stay among my people * * relation now means nothing * * having chosen so defined * * and if death should smell my breathing * * as it pass beneath my window * * let it lead me trembling, trembling * * I own every bell that tolls me * - Chloe payne.
P-a-y-n-e.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's ironic.
No, I don't have a signature from the health department.
Listen, you're the 16th hospital I've called tonight.
I've been up all night.
Hello? Hello? [phone beeps.]
[bangs phone.]
Hello? Yes.

She has rabies! Oh, you do have it in stock.
Okay, great.
Wait, wait, wait, don't put me on hold.
Okay, listen, when they come back, Tell them that I'm on my way.
Okay? Okay? Excuse me.
- Ha ha ha, very funny.
There is no dr.
Underhill.
It's payback for my nurse-proof crack, right? Yeah, well, I guess I deserve-- What're you doing? - Nothing.
- You put something in your pocket.
- No, I didn't.
- Then turn around and talk to me.
- I've got work to do.
- Sonia, I saw you.
Did you take pills from the meds room? - It's none of your business.
- If you're stealing drugs, it's absolutely my business.
[heart monitor beeps.]
- Heart rate's dropping.
He's non-responsive.
It's cardiac tamponade.
I'll call the o.
R.
- There's no time.
We're gonna have to crack him right here.
- I've only ever seen it done once.
- Well, me too, so between the two of us it makes twice.
He's got about a minute.
Here we go.
- I need a thoracotomy tray, Scalpel.
Help me pull it apart.
- I got it.
- Right, let's have one of the sutures.
- No, cut him, it's faster.
- [snips.]
Retractors.
All right, hold it steady.
- I got it.
- [cranking.]
- Syringe.
- Okay.
Superior or inferior? - Inferior.
I think.
Nice and easy.
[beeping stops.]
- He's got a pulse.
- I can't give you this vaccine.
- But the woman I spoke to on the phone said-- - Whoever you spoke to was wrong.
We cannot release this vaccine over county lines Without approval of the health department.
- Okay, how long is that gonna take? - Two weeks.
- Two weeks? - She doesn't have two weeks.
She has rabies; she's going to die.
Um What could we do to maybe expedite this? Like perhaps you could give me that vaccine That is in your hand Doris.
- I can't do anything without the approval Of the health department.
- Doris.
I have been through a maze, a bureaucratic maze.
Do you know what bureaucracy is, doris? It's just people.
It's just people following stupid rules.
But guess what.
Guess what.
We have free will, doris.
We can bypass those rules.
You--you know what? You can do the right thing.
Do you want to know what the right thing is, doris? Giving me that vaccine.
God's watching, doris, give me that vaccine! Give it to me! Give me the vaccine! Give me the vaccine now! Now! - You need the rabies vaccine.
- Yes! - Sure.
- What? - There's a waiver.
Special circumstances.
Just fill it out and mail it back to us.
No biggie.
You didn't know about that, doris? - Uh-uh, is that new? - No, doris, it's standard.
- Oh.
My bad.
- Hey, gillian.
Good job in there.
Hey, wait.
I did take something from the meds room, But it's not what you think.
It was erythromycin.
- Right.
- Look, my brother-- My brother's gotten involved with a bad group of people.
I think he sells drugs, something, I don't know.
But a couple of nights ago he got shot, And I came home and I found him bleeding on my couch.
I can't take him to the hospital, So I stitched him up myself, And now it's infected.
So you can write me up if you want, But I need those pills.
He's my baby brother, and I can't say no to him.
- Is he allergic to penicillin? - No.
- Okay, then try this.
Cephalexin.
It'll work a little quicker.
Must be a really tough thing to deal with.
- Thank you.
- What? What happened? - Erika parris's boyfriend told me that she was having trouble.
I could have helped her.
I could have gone over there and talked to her.
I knew what I needed to do but I couldn't go anywhere near it.
So instead I gave her an 800 number, And she ate a bottle of pills.
I know that you called it and I made fun of you, But she needs to talk to somebody.
And it can't be me.
You know why.

Your wife brought these in for you.
- My wife brought me one potato pancake.
- No, she brought you three, and they were delicious.
How come you don't wear a wedding ring? - Because I'm allergic to certain metals.

They figure if they can't find you They'll at least find your boots.

My best friend over there was this girl named becca.
I met her my first week.
We used to play cards together after lights out Using these little blue flashlights.
One night there was a rocket attack at a remote outpost.
It was bad.
I should've been there.
My superior sent me back to the barracks, They said I worked a double.
There was this, um Five-year-old kid on the side of the road.
Becca wanted to stop to give him some candy.
He threw a backpack.
The blast took out two 710 trucks and everybody in them.
One of them was becca.
They found her boots.
She had a baby at home.
I should've been there, but I wasn't.
So That's one thing that happened.

I'm sorry that happened to you.
- Yeah.
- I don't really care if it's jennifer aniston, I just kind of want a chick on my money.

The good news is you're gonna be fine.
I'll have the doctor come in and explain everything.
- Are my friends okay? - You know, your fiance was here all night.
I swear he just left to get some coffee.

And I do it with one pee break.
- Mm-hmm.
- You think that's easy? How long can you hold it up there? - Don't know.
Don't plan to find out.
Human beings were not meant to do anything at 30,000 feet.
- They weren't meant to have heart attacks Getting their corns shaved at happy nails either, But it happened to me.
- Death will find you anywhere.
- This one doesn't fly, dr.
Jelani.
- Oh, well, we'll have to fix that.
So, uh, how are we feeling, captain barbera? - Like I got slammed on the chest with a baseball bat.

And it's nurse-proof.
A one-eyed cat can do it.
- [chuckles.]
No offense.
- Why would I take offense? - You keep cooling your jets, nothing but strict bed rest.
- Hey.
- Just, uh, checked in on erika.
She's lucky to have you as her nurse.
- Why is that? - [chuckles.]
Well, it's good to have someone that's gone through A similar experience to talk to.
- She may not need to talk to anybody.
I mean, really, what is there to say? Anyway, she has her fiance.
- Did you talk to anyone when you got out, Like a therapist, a group? - Yeah I'm not really, like, a joiner.
I mean, I don't really see myself trotting Down to a church basement to drink bad coffee.
All of that talking and sharing.
- Come on.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
Just jump right in.
Talk.
Share.
- Oh, right.
Of course.
What do you do, a veteran's group? - Every Tuesday.
- But you like people better than I do.
I'm emotionally immature, okay? We're not even talking about feelings right now.
We are talking about a place where people go To talk about feelings and I'm freaking out.
- Seriously? You know, I could offer you a prescription for that.
- Do you really want me showing up for your group? I thought that we weren't friends.
- We're not friends.
Besides, I didn't invite you to my group.
Go find your own group.
- Fine.
I'll find my own church basement.
I just hope I don't accidentally walk into an aa meeting.
- Well, come on, let's be honest.
You could probably use that too.
Also al anon.
Debtors anonymous.
I'm sure your finances are a total disaster.

[tv changing stations.]
- Justin, turn the damn tv off.
What's the matter with you? - Jeez, mom, I know you have the rabies, But you don't have to be such a "b" about it.
- It's unlikely you have rabies.
But I am worried about the infection.
I think you're gonna have to stay with us for a few days.
- I know they say don't feed raccoons, But we had a thing.
Every night for the last two years after conan.
I named her wanda.
- Dad said it would turn on her.
Wait, what happens when you get rabies, anyway? Hello Nurse chick.
- Hmm? Oh, um, rabies, it's, uh, seizures, delirium, paralysis, Foaming of the mouth, swelling of the brain.
You do not want rabies.
It's bad.
Believe me.
- Although what nurse chloe says is accurate, It's not gonna happen.
First of all, you probably don't have rabies, And secondly, we have a vaccine.
- Well, here she is.
Fell for the old peanut butter on a poison apple gambit.
- You killed wanda? - Honey, wanda almost took your arm off.

I look like I'm in eighth grade.
- I thought that's what you were going for.
- I'll work your night shift next week.
Three night shifts? I'll throw in thanksgiving.
- So no animals on your clothing, no pastels, No large buttons.
We want v- or scoop necks, we want solid colors, We want clothes that fit.
Did I tell you to pick that up? Put that down.
- Sorry.
- Clothes tell the world who you are.
You are an adult.
You are not a silly person.
You are not going to dress like a silly person.
Now get in there and try on some slutty stuff.
- Mike thinks we should do Couple's counseling with a priest.
- That such a bad idea? - Yes.
I like my feelings pushed down, compressed.
So they come out at random and inappropriate times.
- You have a system.
- Mm-hmm.
I do.
I just-- Mike thinks I'm mad at him because of his affairs.
Maybe I should just come clean.
- Are you crazy? Mike messed around with a few random skanks.
He did not have an affair.
You had an affair.
You fell in love.
- Mm - Mike is not gonna get over that.
If you want your marriage to work, You don't say a word about dr.
Operation freedom.
You let mike take all the blame.
- Okay, I feel-- I feel naked.
- Naked is good.
Boys like naked.
- Who's the guy? - Nobody.
- Well, you better find a reason To walk by mr.
Nobody a few times today.
- Hi, mrs.
Kalinowski.
- Hi.
- Okay, no big surprise.
But wanda tested positive for rabies.
- Okay Uh, so what happens now? - Well, there's a vaccine.
It's four shots.
It's not pleasant, but we'll get through it.
- I'll call insurance right away to get approval.
- Okay, good, thanks a bunch, payne.
And I'll check in with you later.
- Did you get, like, a boob job at lunch or something? - [sighs.]
- Veronica.
- Ron.
Hi.
- I lost erika's prescription, So I had to come back for another.
- How's she doing? - I don't know.
She's bad, I think.
I mean, that's to be expected, right? But I'm worried, though.
I don't know what to do.
- You know, we have a number you can call To hook her up with a therapist.
- Yeah, she says she doesn't want to talk to a stranger, But she doesn't want to talk to me either.
- She might just need some time.
Just be there for her.
In the meantime let me get you that number just in case.
- I know it was weak, father.
It was the worst thing I ever did.
And I keep saying I'm sorry, But after a while those words don't mean anything anymore.
So I try to show her, But I feel like we keep hitting this wall.
- Hey, slumpy.
How do you feel about what mike just said? - Excuse me? - Your husband just gave a pretty heart-wrenching apology.
You want to respond? - Oh, we've talked about this before.
I'm good.
- You don't seem good.
This is a marriage, veronica.
You have to participate.
- No offense, father, but you've never been married.
- I was married for 15 years.
She died of breast cancer.
How 'bout we don't make assumptions about each other? - Sorry.
- What was it like being away at war? - Good luck with that line of questioning, father gus.
She never talks about iraq.
- You never ask.
- I don't ask anymore.
I asked plenty for a long time.
I broke my leg when she was gone.
Fell off a roof; this is right before I, uh I cheated.
I couldn't work.
I had to go on disability.
I mean, it was hard for me.
And I wrote her these epic emails.
She never responded to any of them.
- I was a little busy.
- You wrote back eventually.
You know what you said? "miss you.
Hope you're good.
" Then you signed it with one of those smiley faces With the colon and the parentheses.
"hope you're good, smiley face.
" What does that even mean? I mean, who sends a smiley face from iraq? What the hell is that? - I don't know what you want, mike.
- What do I want? I want to know what it was like for you over there.
I want you to stop having nightmares.
I want my best friend back.
I just want us to be happy.
- Veronica, Do you want this to work? Do you want to be happy? - Of course I want to be happy.
How did this become about me? He-- - He's a dumbass who needs to keep his pants on.
But he's trying.
You're the one who's stonewalling.
Are you committed to this marriage? - I'm here.
- Is that what you think commitment is? That's not commitment.
You commit by opening yourself.
You commit by letting him in and accepting his apology.
You commit by accepting as an undeniable fact That your future is intertwined with mike's.
You commit by utterly and completely surrendering.
Otherwise you've got one foot out the door.
Do you have one foot out the door, veronica? - No.
- You might want to work on your delivery.
- What do you mean we're out of the vaccine? We're a hospital.
- It happens more often than you think, And actually I'm about to clock out, so - And what am I supposed to tell mrs.
Kalinowski? "oh, it just happens more often than you think"? - Rabies have gotten so bad that helicopters Are dropping vaccine bait in the middle of the woods.
- Really? That's so interesting.
She could die.
- There is a shortage.
I have it on back order.
I mean, does she have symptoms? - Wally, when you exhibit symptoms of rabies It's too late, and then you die.
This is serious.
She needs the shot and she needs it now.
What am I supposed to tell her? - I don't know, but you should probably Take that panicked look off your face.
- Okay.
Um, little hiccup.
We are actually out of the rabies vaccine.
- Excuse me? What do you mean you're out of vaccine? This is a hospital.
- Yeah, um, there's a shortage.
Did you know that? Uh, helicopters are actually Now dropping vaccine bait into the woods.
Isn't that interesting? - No.
- Okay.
Uh, so-- So the pharmacist is making calls, And dr.
Sands is sure we can track it down.
- I have rabies.
- Wait, what happens if she gets symptoms? - You know, I'm just-- I'm gonna go ahead and get a jump on this.
[elevator beeps.]
- Uh, I'm looking for sonia.
- Dominic.
What are you doing here? Come on.
- I'm sorry, but it's getting worse.
There's stuff oozing out, and my chest feels like it's on fire.
- Well, did you keep the bandages on? - No.
I don't feel so good, sone.
- You have an infection.
Look, I'll get you something, all right? But you can't be here.
Those stitches didn't just magically appear.
If they find out who put them there I could lose my job.
So you got to go.
Come on.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- What, are you on a break? - No.
- Oh, well, did you get captain barbera's test results? - Lab's backed up.
- Well can you go down there and see what the problem is? - I just told you the problem.
The lab's backed up.
- Well, I need those numbers.
Pay them a visit.
Put the pressure on.
- Well, I could, but I've got five other patients And a thoracentesis to set up, so if you need them now, The lab is on the second floor, last door on your left.
- Sonia.
I want us to put our patients first.
And you do have time for a conversation with your friend.
- Fine.
Oh, by the way, um, Dr.
Underhill was looking for you.
He says it's really important.
- Who? - Well, why didn't you tell me? - Got a bounce back.
- Don't tell me mr.
Phillips Pulled his colostomy bag off again.
- 30 sleeping pills and a vodka chaser.
She got charcoal in the e.
R.
- Erika? What happened? - [crying.]
I'm sorry.
I can't do it.
I shouldn't-- I shouldn't be here.
I wish you hadn't saved me.
- Try to rest.
Take me off this case.
[saw whirs.]
[neko case's at last.]
- * I can say that I've lived here * [lock clicks.]
* in honor and danger * * but I'm just an animal * * and cannot explain a life * * down this chain of days * * I wish to stay among my people * * relation now means nothing * * having chosen so defined * * and if death should smell my breathing * * as it pass beneath my window * * let it lead me trembling, trembling * * I own every bell that tolls me * - Chloe payne.
P-a-y-n-e.

There is no dr.
Underhill.
It's payback for my nurse-proof crack, right? Yeah, well, I guess I deserve-- What're you doing? - Nothing.
- You put something in your pocket.
- No, I didn't.
- Then turn around and talk to me.
- I've got work to do.
- Sonia, I saw you.
Did you take pills from the meds room? - It's none of your business.
- If you're stealing drugs, it's absolutely my business.
[heart monitor beeps.]
- Heart rate's dropping.
He's non-responsive.
It's cardiac tamponade.
I'll call the o.
R.

We cannot release this vaccine over county lines Without approval of the health department.
- Okay, how long is that gonna take? - Two weeks.
- Two weeks? - She doesn't have two weeks.
She has rabies; she's going to die.
Um What could we do to maybe expedite this? Like perhaps you could give me that vaccine That is in your hand Doris.
- I can't do anything without the approval Of the health department.
- Doris.
I have been through a maze, a bureaucratic maze.
Do you know what bureaucracy is, doris? It's just people.
It's just people following stupid rules.
But guess what.
Guess what.
We have free will, doris.
We can bypass those rules.
You--you know what? You can do the right thing.
Do you want to know what the right thing is, doris? Giving me that vaccine.
God's watching, doris, give me that vaccine! Give it to me! Give me the vaccine! Give me the vaccine now! Now! - You need the rabies vaccine.
- Yes! - Sure.
- What? - There's a waiver.
Special circumstances.
Just fill it out and mail it back to us.
No biggie.
You didn't know about that, doris? - Uh-uh, is that new? - No, doris, it's standard.
- Oh.
My bad.
- Hey, gillian.
Good job in there.
Hey, wait.
I did take something from the meds room, But it's not what you think.
It was erythromycin.
- Right.
- Look, my brother-- My brother's gotten involved with a bad group of people.
I think he sells drugs, something, I don't know.
But a couple of nights ago he got shot, And I came home and I found him bleeding on my couch.
I can't take him to the hospital, So I stitched him up myself, And now it's infected.
So you can write me up if you want, But I need those pills.
He's my baby brother, and I can't say no to him.
- Is he allergic to penicillin? - No.
- Okay, then try this.
Cephalexin.
It'll work a little quicker.
Must be a really tough thing to deal with.
- Thank you.
- What? What happened? - Erika parris's boyfriend told me that she was having trouble.
I could have helped her.
I could have gone over there and talked to her.
I knew what I needed to do but I couldn't go anywhere near it.
So instead I gave her an 800 number, And she ate a bottle of pills.
I know that you called it and I made fun of you, But she needs to talk to somebody.
And it can't be me.
You know why.
Please don't make me say anything else.
I know it's my job, but can you do it? Can you go talk to her? - Okay.
- Here, take it now, before it gets worse.
And here's the rest.
Four times a day until they're gone.
- Thanks.
- This is the last time.
I'm done.
You hear me? - Okay.
- No, I'm serious.
Look, I love you, but I just can't get mixed up in this stuff, okay? I just can't.
- You're right.
You got something good going on.
I'm proud of you.
You deserve it.
- Yeah, well, you could too, you know.
- Yeah, I know.
Working on it.
- What're you doing here? - Eating chips.
- Hey, heard you got the rabies vaccine.
You knock some heads? - Um, it was no big deal.
- You're a rock star, payne.
- Hey, dr.
Harris.
Your wife brought these in for you.
- My wife brought me one potato pancake.
- No, she brought you three, and they were delicious.
How come you don't wear a wedding ring? - Because I'm allergic to certain metals.
- You never told us you were married.
- That's because my personal life is none of your business.
Ah.
Hey, you.
- Hold me closer, tiny dancer.
- They're in love.
Look at that.
[the veils's sun gangs.]
- * some say you'll never * * be gone forever * * some say there's music where you go * * I've no faith in my heart * tell two apart * * ocean above from sky below * - What're you doing? - [sniffles.]
In the army they give you two sets of dog tags-- One they lace to your boots in case your head gets blown off.
They figure if they can't find you They'll at least find your boots.
Ah-ah, I can only do this if I don't look at you.
My best friend over there was this girl named becca.
I met her my first week.
We used to play cards together after lights out Using these little blue flashlights.
One night there was a rocket attack at a remote outpost.
It was bad.
I should've been there.
My superior sent me back to the barracks, They said I worked a double.
There was this, um Five-year-old kid on the side of the road.
Becca wanted to stop to give him some candy.
He threw a backpack.
The blast took out two 710 trucks and everybody in them.
One of them was becca.
They found her boots.
She had a baby at home.
I should've been there, but I wasn't.
So That's one thing that happened.
- I'm sorry you lost your friend.
I'm sorry that happened to you.
- Yeah.
