- Dr. Will Halstead: You gave Mr. Gleason a drink?
- Sharon Goodwin: He was likely going to die without one. I've seen it happen.
- Dr. Will Halstead: So it doesn't matter if that was against hospital policy, 'cause I'm pretty sure if that were me, I'd be raked over the coals right now by you.
- Sharon Goodwin: Damned if you do and damned if you don't. I admit it's a bit of a double standard. What can I say?
- Dr. Will Halstead: This patient... he had a chance to kick his addiction. Now it's gone.
- Sharon Goodwin: Dr. Halstead, an addict doesn't just kick a habit. He's got to want to quit, and right he doesn't. Listen, you can't force a person to move on from something if they're not ready.
- Dr. Will Halstead: Mr. Gleason, you broke your leg pretty bad. We're gonna have to evaluate this and...
- [Gleason suddenly starts shaking]
- Dr. Natalie Manning: He's seizing.
- Dr. Will Halstead: Mr. Gleason? All right, milligram of Ativan.
- April Sexton: On it.
- Dr. Natalie Manning: It's a grand mal seizure. He ever have this before?
- April Sexton: Not that I've seen. Milligram of Ativan.
- Dr. Will Halstead: He's withdrawing. He's going in delirium tremens.
- April Sexton: Never seen him get DTs before. It's gonna be bad, isn't it?
- Dr. Will Halstead: Is it ever good?
- Sharon Goodwin: Daniel, what are you doing tonight?
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Mm, working. Why?
- Sharon Goodwin: Well, an old friend of Bert's and mine has moved to town and I thought we could all go to dinner.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: You know, sounds like a blast, but I really am slammed.
- Sharon Goodwin: Come on, Daniel. Bert's been so grumpy lately, and he always cheers up when he talks to you.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: What's going on?
- Sharon Goodwin: It's a long story, but you'd really be helping me out. Besides, Maribel loves Scotch and ballroom dancing. You haven't been out in while.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: You know, there's a reason for that. There's this new study out, says dating can lead to marriage.
- Sharon Goodwin: It's just a friendly dinner.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Yeah, and I'm still paying two and a half alimonies. Those 'friendly dinners' can get expensive.
- Sarah Reese: So, the good news is Ms. Weschler's doing much better after some fluids. She's awake and alert.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: That is good news.
- Sarah Reese: Yes, though she does still have a fever and is reporting lower abdominal pain.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Fluids and scans?
- Sarah Reese: All negative except for a slightly elevated white count, but I'm already doing an infectious workup now.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Sounds like a great plan. What's the bad news?
- Sarah Reese: This is Wanda Stern. In from the same nursing home. She has a 101 fever and feels Nixon is just what the country needs to run out the commies.
- Dr. David Downey: You're a good surgeon, Dr. Rhodes, but saving a life isn't always the answer. And you will never be a great surgeon until you understand that.
- Sarah Reese: He seems like a nice enough guy, but no one is worth lying, cheating, or disease.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Where are you getting lying and cheating?
- Sarah Reese: You heard what he said.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Didn't hear that. This looks like more of an... open relationship to me.
- Sarah Reese: Well, you would think by their age they'd be past that.
- Dr. Daniel Charles: Past wanting physical intimacy?
- Sarah Reese: If my boyfriend ever suggested an open relationship, I'd kill him.
