You're not allowed to be here later than me.
Nice suit.
Joanne and I had a dinner.
And then you came back to work.
Dinner wasn't so great.
You waiting to see who claims the John Doe? You should know by now.
Not much escapes me here.
I read the path report.
He had endocarditis.
Had a heart like a 90-year-old's.
Probably didn't even know it.
Smoke inhalation triggered total cardiac shutdown.
For lack of a better word, he was doomed.
Are you all right? Yeah, I don't know.
Look.
Today was bound to be a tough day no matter what, Nance.
Come on.
Your memory of Terry.
Rabbit coming back The mess on the freeway, losing your John Doe.
Come on.
You run so fast, all of you.
You miss the point entirely.
There's a point? Yes indeed.
People get hurt.
Some get saved.
A lot die.
Then it happens all over again.
I should not have come in to work today.
You can't pick the days, Nancy.
Or what happens in them.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Yes, you will.
Hey, Ma.
How was your first day on the job? Nothing much to tell.
I flew a helicopter.
And we got shot at a couple of times.
What? You got shot at? Kidding, Ma.
I did not get shot at.
Honey, I hate that job.
Ma! You've got to stop watching those war movies.
I don't want you killed.
Ma, they exaggerate.
Those helicopters That's not real.
It could have happened.
Hi.
I can't sleep.
Well, me neither.
Yeah, I know.
Chicks think it's sexy.
Welcome back.
