Why is there no women on paper money?
Who would you suggest?
Lady Gaga.
I don't really care if it's Jennifer Aniston.
I just kind of want a chick on my money.
ANGEL: I don't know. Alexander Hamilton looks
as queer as a beer bottle to me.
What does that mean?
(CHUCKLES) I have no idea.
It's something my dad says.
Oh, my sweet Lord.
What? ANGEL: It's Harris.
And he's with a lady.
Who is that?
Oh. She's like a giraffe. She's like a hooker giraffe.
Who brings a prostitute to work?
(ALL EXCLAIM)
God, now, I hate sex.
ANGEL: There's the leg!
(ALL SCREAMING)
(SIRENS WAILING)
(PAGERS BEEPING)
Code black.
All hands on deck.
What's a code black?
SONIA: Mass casualties.
(ROCK SONG PLAYING)
Nightclub fire. 79 trapped inside. We got 12. Go!
PARAMEDIC 1: Twenty-four year old black male.
Smoke inhalation, third degree burns.
BP's 70 over 30. Tachy at 150.
Two large bore IV's. Fluids wide open.
This one's in V-fib!
We lost his pulse in the ambulance!
All right. We need to shock this guy now.
(NURSE SHOUTING)
Chloe. Watch me.
Just bag the patient.
Put your hand around the mask like this.
Just keep squeezing.
Charging to 360.
All right. Move his shirt.
Clear?
HARRIS: Clear!
(SIRENS APPROACHING)
PARAMEDIC 3: We've got another one.
Twenty-five year old female.
She was in V-fib at the scene. Went asystolic en route.
We started CPR.
SANDS: She's gone.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
Nine, ten.
One, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, ten.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
Veronica. It's been too long. ...eight, nine, ten.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
(GRUNTS) One. Two. Three.
(PANTING) Come on. Come on.
(GASPS) She's alive!
Bag her. Come on. Let's go. Let's go.
Hi, Erika.
What happened?
There was a fire.
We think there was a blast that knocked you out of harm's way.
But you sustained a contusion on your heart.
We almost lost you.
The good news is you're going to be fine.
I'll have the doctor come in and explain everything.
Are my friends okay?
You know, your fiancé was here all night.
I swear he just left to get some coffee.
Let me go find him.
But what happened to Vanessa,
and Claire?
What about Jennifer? Are they here?
The fire started on stage. It spread really fast.
All of the emergency exits were locked.
Your friends came here,
to Mercy.
We worked as hard as we could.
But we weren't able to save them.
We weren't able to save anyone.
I'm so sorry.
In the whole club?
Except for you.
(CRIES)
That's not possible.
How can they all be dead, and I'm still alive?
RON: Erika?
(ERIKA CRIES)
Hey, baby. You're awake.
ERIKA: Is it true?
Is everybody gone?
(ERIKA CRYING)
RON: Shh. It's okay. It's okay.
I fly Newark to Singapore three times a week.
Nineteen hours at a pop.
And I do it with one pee break.
Uh-huh. 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.
Ah. Well, they weren't meant to have heart attacks
getting their corns shaved at Happi-Nails, either, but it happened to me.
Death will find you anywhere.
This one doesn't fly, Dr. Jelani.
Oh. Well, we're going to have to fix that.
So, uh... How are we feeling, Captain Barbera?
Like I got slammed in the chest with a baseball bat.
Do you feel your heart skip? Any dizziness?
Not really. Good.
So,
is this going to ground me for good?
Give it six months. I have hopes.
Check this out.
You can scroll back the EKG tracings for the last 24 hours.
I always hated flipping through the chart.
Yeah. And it's nurse-proof.
JELANl: A one-eyed cat could do it.
(CHUCKLES)
No offense.
Why would I take offense?
You keep cooling your jets. Nothing but strict bed rest.
Hey.
Just checked in on Erika.
She's lucky to have you as her nurse.
Why is that?
(LAUGHS) 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 fiancé.
You didn't talk to anyone when you got out?
Like a therapist or 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 veterans' 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 at your group?
I thought that we weren't friends.
We're not friends. We're...
And 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 couldn't hurt.
Debtors Anonymous. I'm sure your finances are a total disaster.
Actually, you know what? There's not a 12-step program I can think of
that you wouldn't benefit from.
You know what? You're not funny.
And I have a lot of things to do.
I'm a little funny. And I've got things to do, too.
I've got a consult on an animal bite.
It's very important.
Whatever.
(CHATTERING ON TV)
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 going to 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 going to 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-poisoned-apple gambit.
You killed Wanda?
Honey. Wanda almost took your arm off.
I... I can take that down to the lab.
Can I say goodbye?
(RACCOON HISSING)
(ALL SCREAMING)
(PEOPLE CLAMORING)
You go left. I'll go right. Cooler. Cooler.
(SCREAMING) Watch it. Watch it.
NURSE 1: It went under the desk!
NURSE 2: Somebody call Animal Control!
(RACCOON GROWLING)
Hey. Hey, there, buddy.
(RACCOON HISSING)
(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
Somebody call security. This thing might have rabies.
ANGEL: Did he say rabies?
Okay. Here's the plan. I need a...
Twinkie and five milligrams of Ambien.
The raccoon's in the meds room.
Okay. Plan B. I need a fire extinguisher and...
(SCREAMING)
(PANTING)
Are you okay?
Yeah. Yeah. You...
You really killed the crap out of that thing.
Yeah.
You okay? Steady.
I'm good.
Well, thanks a lot, kid. I owe you one.
So, Dr. Harris.
That was some car you were driving last night.
Well, muscle cars have been a passion of mine since high school.
Well, that one was, like, really hot.
I bet you get tons of ladies and sex in that thing.
Sonia, I don't think I need to remind you of what we all learned
at the seminar on sexual harassment,
about, well,
remarks of a
inappropriate and suggestive nature.
MAN 1: Bananarama!
WOMAN: Bon Jovi!
MAN 2: Billy Ocean! Oh. It's Paula Abdul.
Are you totally positive?
There's no other videos from the '80s with rapping cartoon cats?
Yes. I'm sure.
MAN 3: Paula Abdul! Paula Abdul!
(PEOPLE CHEERING)
EMCEE: Okay, party people. Next question.
Fans of which modernist novel celebrate June 16th as Bloomsday?
Ulysses! EMCEE: Ulysses! Right!
Okay, moving on.
What is the New Jersey state bird?
WOMAN: Pigeon! And no, it is not the pigeon.
MAN: Sandpiper! Oh, I got this.
It's the eastern goldfinch.
No, no, no, no, no. Bluebird. Bluebird.
No, that's New York. New Jersey's the eastern goldfinch.
No way. Bluebird. Back me up here, guys.
They can't, cutie, because you're wrong.
Bluebird. I did a report on this in the third grade.
Sweetie, I wouldn't argue with you about a medical question.
So, why are you arguing with me about this?
How is that the same?
(LAUGHS) Babe, you're not always right about everything, okay?
Maybe my knowledge base is a little more, uh, varied than yours.
You're an ass.
Hey, Demonica, first date here.
It's the goldfinch.
I saw it on a stamp. See?
Eastern goldfinch!
Yeah!
That's a winner!
(PEOPLE CLAPPING)
It's all right, honey. You're still pretty to look at.
Excuse me.
What's going on?
Nothing. Nothing? Really?
Because you just stormed out of there over the Eastern Goldfinch.
It's not about the Eastern Goldfinch.
Yeah, obviously. Hey. You're still mad with me.
I get it.
Maybe we should talk to somebody about it.
Father Gus said we could come by if we ever wanted to talk.
Father Gus?
You haven't been in a church since our wedding.
I want us to do this, Veronica. It's important.
They always like this?
Only when they're together.
Man, they were my ride.
(BOTH MOAN)
Hey.
What are you doing here?
My AC's broke.
Um, Nick, this is my brother, Dominick.
Hey, man.
You okay? I'm good.
Just a hot night is all.
I've got an early morning tomorrow.
Yeah. Me, too. Really busy.
You need any help here?
No. He's fine.
Call me tomorrow.
All right.
That dude was strapped. He a cop?
I'm not telling you my business.
What's wrong with you?
(GRUNTS)
(GROANS)
Oh, Dominick, you dumbass.
It wasn't my fault.
Can you fix me up?
You have to go to the hospital.
A gunshot wound means paperwork.
Could get complicated for me.
What with previous instances that may or may not have actually been my fault.
How did this happen?
Remember that little girl, Tina?
Yeah, I remember Tina.
Isn't she with that criminal, Ruiz?
(LAUGHS) Well, yeah. But I was feeling her, Sonia.
What do you want me to do? I'm a romantic.
Ruiz didn't think it was funny, neither.
You know that Japanese fast food up on 9th?
I took her for a teriyaki bowl.
Classy.
And Ruiz rolled up with his cousin.
And I caught a round.
(SIGHS)
This is a made-up story.
You want me to tell you what really happened?
No.
You know what? Never mind. I'm out of here.
Don't worry about me. I'll figure something out.
Sit down.
I'll go get my sewing kit.
But I don't have any lidocaine.
So, this is going to hurt like a mother.
And if you whine even once...
I can take it.
You don't have to wait with me.
I'm not waiting with you.
I'm circling a chili dog here.
If you put the botulism out of your mind, they're delicious.
This was Vanessa's.
Her ID
and 60 bucks.
She asked me to hold it for her.
What am I supposed to do with it now?
(CAR HONKING)
Hey. You're going to be okay.
None of this was your fault, all right?
You're going to be fine because you're strong.
I promise.
RON: You ready?
Come on. Let's go home.
Thank you. Thank you for not giving up.
Texting is not resting.
Air traffic control says some hotshot is beating my record time
to Changi International by 10 minutes.
I need an update. Sorry, man.
Oh, come on. Give it back.
Aww, give it back, you bully.
Just following your orders.
I was thinking about our conversation
and I realized you could totally use this.
To conquer your fear of flying.
I'd hate to think of you not seeing the sun set over the Seine.
You got me a self-help book.
Let's do another CBC and a chem panel.
All right.
You don't think that's rude?
I mean, "Hi, person I barely know. Here's a self-help book.
"I met you for one minute, so now I know everything that's wrong with you."
Ugh, residents.
Floating Through Fear. Float through my ass, bitch.
You know, maybe you should look at your anger about this.
Why are you so defensive?
(IN FOREIGN ACCENT) Hello. I am looking for Doctor Harris?
He's with a patient right now,
but I can just go, grab him.
No, no. There is no need.
If you just don't mind giving him this.
It's little surprise.
And who can we say it's from?
His wife.
It is so nice to finally meet you.
I'm Veronica. Hi.
Yelena. Yelena.
What a beautiful name. Where did you two meet again?
On the Internet.
He was looking for tango partner.
Danny is such a wonderful dancer.
Yes. Yeah. We know that about him.
Well, goodbye.
Bye.
Green card scam. Mail order bride.
Sex slave.
Hey, Sonia?
I need you to take me shopping at lunch.
No.
Come on. Look at me.
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.
CHLOE: 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.
Oh.
Mike thinks we should do couples' counseling with a priest.
Is 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. Mmm-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.
Mmm.
Mike is not going to 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.
(POP SONG PLAYING)
(STAMMERING) Okay, 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. SANDS: 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, great. 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 is she doing?
I don't know. She's bad, I think.
I mean, that's to be expected, right?
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.
She says she doesn't want to talk to a stranger.
But she doesn't want to talk to me, either, so...
She might just need some time.
Just be there for her.
In the meantime, let me get you that number. Just in case.
MIKE: 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?
Well, 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 about 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, you know...
I cheated.
I couldn't work. Had to go on disability. I mean, it was hard for me.
And I wrote her these epic e-mails.
She never responded to any of them.
I was a little busy.
Oh, 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.
Yeah. "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's the...
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.
CHLOE: 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 the 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 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 going to go ahead and get a jump on this.
(SIGHS)
(ELEVATOR DINGS)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
I'm looking for Sonia?
Dominick. 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, Son.
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've got to go. Come on.
Here you go.
Hey. Hey.
What, are you on a break? No.
Oh. Well, did you get Captain Barbera's test results?
Lab is backed up.
Well, can you go down there and see what the problem is?
I just told you the problem. The lab is 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,
the 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, Dr. Underhill was looking for you.
He says it's really important.
Who?
Well, why didn't you tell me?
ORDERLY: Got a bounce-back.
Don't tell me Mr. Phillips pulled his colostomy bag off again.
Thirty sleeping pills and a vodka chaser. She got charcoal in the ER.
Erika?
(CRYING)
What happened?
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.
(DOOR CLOSING)
(POP SONG PLAYING)
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?
(SLAMMING PHONE)
(PHONE BEEPING)
Hello? Yes. No, I'm back.
No, I don't have time for you to mail me the requisition forms.
I need it today. Do you have it in stock or not?
(PHONE RINGING)
Fine.
Hello?
Yes.
(SCOFFS) Patient consent?
Of course she consents. She has rabies!
Oh, you do have it in stock. Okay, great.
Wait, 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 deserved...
What are 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.
(MONITOR BEEPING RAPIDLY)
Heart rate's dropping.
He's non-responsive.
It's cardiac tamponade. I'll call the OR.
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, that makes twice.
He's got about a minute. Here we go.
I need a thoracotomy tray! 60cc syringe. Stat!
ANGEL: Coming in!
Scalpel.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Help me pull it apart. Hold on.
All right, let's unwind the sutures.
No. Cut them. It's faster.
Okay.
Retractors.
All right, hold it steady.
I got it. Yep.
Syringe. Okay.
Superior or inferior?
Inferior. I think.
Okay.
Nice and easy.
(STABLE BEEPING)
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 going to take?
Two weeks. Two weeks?
(SIGHS) She doesn't have two weeks.
She has rabies. She's going to die.
Um, what can 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 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!
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 or 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 will work a little quicker.
Must be a really tough thing to deal with.
Thank you.
What? What happened?
Erika Parris' 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.
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 are you doing here?
Eating chips.
Hey. I heard you got the rabies vaccine. You knock some heads?
Um, it's 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.

What are you doing?
In the Army, they give you two sets of dog tags.
One, they lace through your boots in case your head gets blown off.
They figure if they can't find you, they'll at least
find your boots.
Uh-uh. 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 have been there.
But my superior sent me back to the barracks. He said I'd worked a double.
There was this,
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 seven-ton trucks and everybody in them.
One of them was Becca.
They found her boots.
She had a baby at home.
I should have 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.
