( After seeing Carol talkingto Greg Powell)
Carol: Doug..(he ignores her)..Doug, come on..
Doug: Was that the guy?
Carol: We were talking. He was upset. Another elderly rape victim came in, I was trying to calm him down.
Doug: Was that the guy?
Carol: Yes, that's the guy. I'm not seeing him or anything.
Doug: Now, your not ready to commit, that's fine. You want to screw fireman, fine. Just don't humiliate me in front of my friends.
Carol: Humiliate you?..What about the surgical tech in the on call room, or the peds nurse in the parking lot?
Doug: Ancient history.
Carol: How about the drug rep with the fake breasts ad the big hair.
Doug: Ancient history.
Carol: I'd have to do the entire Bulls line-up on the damn admit desk to even begin to be equal to you.
Doug:Is this what this is?..Is this about getting even with me for things I did a long time ago?
Carol: This is about me needing some time, and you being really pissed off that things aren't working out exactly as you planned. I've spent years, years of my life changing to fit your needs, working around your schedules, your insecurities, your inabilities to commit. You know what Doug? It's not all about you. I lnow that may come as a shock. But a relationship is give and take-two people as equals and right know I need something. So you can grow up and except it, or you can go and continue to be the same selfish self-centered bastard you've always been, and refuse to give me the one thing, the one thing I've never asked you for!

Doug: Looks like they're doing great.
Carol: Yeah, then why is it so hard for us?
Doug: I don't know?...I didn't mean to push....Take all the time you need...I'll wait.
(Carol looks down and smiles, then begins to cry.)

Corday: You Carol, have something I really envy.
Carol: What?
Corday: A sex life.
Anna: Cheers to that!
Carol: I have no complaints in that department, I guess.
Anna: Come on, you've got to give up more than that.
Corday: Please please, let us live vicariously please.
Carol: You want to hear about my sex life.
Corday and Anna: YES.
Carol: OK, What do you want to know.....(doorbell ring to interupt them)

George: "Glad she took our show. I got to make out with her."
And Julianna, what's it like to kiss George?
"It's almost scary how natural it is for me and George because we've literally been kissing on and off for four years. "It's like, 'Oh yeah, we gotta kiss again.' It's always comforting to work with George, because we know each other so well, actingwise. I don't see George the way the rest of the world sees George, as a huge movie star. I see him as my mate, my coworker."
Says John Wells,
" Did she tell about the time she surgi-lubed George's pants and shoes? I try to remain above this childish behavior inspired by Mr. Clooney, but Jules likes to get in there with George."
