PHILLIP: I was down ...stairs...never mind. I'm assisting
"Sexual Feeling" is playing as they work. Kate leans over to see his face and does a double take.
KATE: Kyle? Is this Kyle Mitchell?
PHILLIP: Yes, you know him?
KATE: Oh my God! we go back to med school. Wasn't for him I would have flunked my histology final. How'd this happen anyway?
PHILLIP: Well, word from the ER is, he raped a woman
KATE: Oh, come on, that's crazy.
PHILLIP: An old flame?
KATE: Phillip, contrary to popular opinion I do not sleep with all of my colleagues. Suction. Jeez! Some woman accuses Kyle and he's labeled a rapist. Kronk accuses me of sexual harassment, I'm labeled a slut!
PHILLIP: That's not what you're labeled
KATE: What?
They start to bicker over the patient
PHILLIP: All right, since you brought it up. I'd really rather the sexual harassment suit not go to trial.
KATE: Talk to Kronk about it, he's the one who started it
PHILLIP: I was hoping you'd finish it. I'm sure an apology ...
KATE: Oh please!
PHILLIP: The way you've treated him ...
KATE: No! Forget about it! I don't owe him an apology for anything
PHILLIP: The way you're behavior towards staff has made you a lot of enemies. Now, if that's what you want then fine, but if you're intent on burning bridges I'll back you just so far. Let's go
KATE: Then what, Phillip? Retract, lets go
PHILLIP: I'll be in your favor, just swallow your pride on this one
Kate withdraws the knife and offers it to Phillip
KATE: Here, just wipe it off. Use it on my back

DIANE: I don't have a few minutes, you're blocking my light!
BILLY: Look, you diagnosed this guy's cellulitis, All right, I think he feels some kind of a bond with you
DIANE: So I saved his hand, I can't be responsible for his marriage too
BILLY: Well, ever since he had his heart-attack ...
DIANE: He had a heart-attack?
BILLY: Yeah, about 3 months ago. On his wedding day. Wife thinks it's her fault. He was carrying her across the threshold.
DIANE: Oh boy
BILLY: Let's just say that she's a wide load. Anyway, Mr. Stuart and his wife specifically asked for us, they asked for you and they asked for me
DIANE: No
BILLY: I don't exactly want to play Dr. Ruth to Jack Sprat here, but ...
DIANE: So tell them you don't know the facts of life
BILLY: Oh, come on. Just this one thing. I'll never ask you for any thing else
DIANE: You'll stay out of my lab? You'll leave me alone?
BILLY: Yeah, you'll never catch me down here again.
IN BILLY'S OFFICE they all sit and talk
MRS STUART: Well, um, can we, you know, have IT?
MR STUART: What Marge here is, um, what is the safest way since I've had my heart-attack?
MRS STUART: Yeah, and I have some arthritis in both of my hips
They are both talking at once. She thinks he should be on top, he doesn't know the best position. They seem very worried to get it right
BILLY: O.K, I think we get your meaning
MR STUART: Can you help us?
DANNY AND CAMILLE ARE TALKING IN THE ER
DANNY: She took a shower? That was smart
CAMILLE: Well, it's the first thing I would want to do if I was raped
DANNY: I understand that but it washes away the evidence
CAMILLE: Who are you? Syprillis?
DANNY: Look, I'd just like to see this woman get every chance of getting this guy, that's all, if he even did it
A plain clothed cop is questioning the Megan as Camille walks in
COP: You met him at "Malone's"?
MEGAN: Yeah, he, um, brought me a drink and offered to drive me home
COP: And you accepted a ride from a stranger?
MEGAN: Well, he seemed a nice guy, I mean ... are you gonna arrest me for taking a ride?
COP: Lets Calm down
MEGAN: No. The guy who raped me is in this hospital. Now, you shouldn't be questioning me, you should be arresting him!
CAMILLE: Do you have to do this now?
COP: Are you her Doctor?
CAMILLE: No, I'm not
COP: Then, yeah, I do. Megan, did you receive any money from this man.
CAMILLE: What kind of a question is that?
COP: Could you stay out of this
Camille walks over to the desk in disgust but continues to listen
COP: Miss Stanard, did Dr. Mitchell pay you?
MEGAN: Do you think I'm a whore?
COP: We just need to be sure we're not dealing with a business dispute
MEGAN: I'm not a whore! He was a cute guy who offered to drive me home, I mean, it was cold and I didn't wanna wait for the bus
COP: O.K. So what happened next?
MEGAN: Well, we got back to my apartment and I asked him to come in. At first everything seemed fine but ... then he started grabbing me and I tried to fight but he pinned me down and he started doing it. At night, my mum always told me to keep a knife by my bed so I grabbed it and ... and
CAMILLE: It's all right Megan
MEGAN: I stabbed him. If I had to do it over ... I would stab him again
CAMILLE: Could you give her a minute
COP: Just a few more questions
CAMILLE: Just on lousy minute!
AT DR HANCOCK'S CLINIC DR JOHN SUTTON is examining a patient, a young woman
FLORI: Where is Dr. Hancock?
JOHN: Oh, I'm just helping out. Your lymph nodes are swollen
FLORI: The clinic looks nice. There was so much damage from the explosion. Your hands are warm
JOHN: Well, it's probably just a simple infection. How long has your throat been hurting?
FLORI: Two weeks
JOHN: No fever, no cough?
FLORI: some
JOHN: O.K. Open wide. Well, it's looking pretty nasty back there. O.K, ah, this may feel a little uncomfortable to you, might make you gag

FLORI: Yeah, I'm a freshman
JOHN: North Western?
FLORI: No, St. Agatha

FLORI: Uh-huh
BILLY IS BACK IN DIANE'S LAB
BILLY: Diane?
DIANE: You promised to leave me alone
BILLY: Come on, you saw how the Stuart's were
DIANE: Billy, I'm an Infectious Disease Specialist, I'm not a sex therapist! This is your case
BILLY: Why are you so uptight about sex?
DIANE: I ... I'm ... uh ... I'm not uptight .... uptight?
BILLY: Yeah
DIANE: All you need to do is to find a position that ... you know...minimalizes exertion
BILLY: That's exactly what I was thinking
He places a book on her desk and taps it
DIANE: "The Tao of Sexual Pleasure"?
BILLY: Uh-huh. Position No.19, goat facing tree. Won't put pressure on her hips, he can relax in a chair the entire time
DIANE: Good
BILLY: No 12. Phoenix holding a chicken
Diane laughs, as Billy turns pages
BILLY: For use when the female is larger than the male
DIANE: Uh-huh
BILLY: Then there's always No.26. Autumn Dog
DIANE: Oh, God. That can't be done
BILLY: Been there, done that! Jealous?
DIANE: Oh yeah, uh-huh, real jealous! Actually No.19 looks about right
BILLY: Yeah, you can't go wrong with good old 19. However my personal favorite ...
DIANE: Oh, spare me! Interesting book
BILLY: Yeah?
DIANE: Well, have fun with the Stuart's
BILLY: Yeah, listen I... ah ...I really need your help here, please
DIANE: All right Billy, all right but I mean it this time! Do not try sucking me into something like this again
BILLY: Deal
MEGAN IS SITTING, DRESSED, IN WAITING CHAIRS. She is rocking back and forth holding her head. Camille notices and asks Danny about it.
CAMILLE: What's Megan Stanard doing back?
DANNY: Camille, I've had a GI bleeder, two asthma exacerbation's, and a gun shot wound in the last hour. Sorry I can't keep track!
He walks away and Camille goes over to Megan
CAMILLE: Miss Stanard? We sent you home, are you all right?
MEGAN: I don't know, I've got this headache. I'm so afraid to go home. I know it's really stupid. Everything just feels so unsafe. I don't know what to do. I'm so afraid he's gonna come back, I mean, what if he's still alive and he's waiting for me, I mean, did I kill him? Ow, my head hurts so much
CAMILLE: I'm gonna go upstairs and see what happened, you wait right here. Dr. Nyland will order you a cat-scan for your headache. I'll only be a moment
Camille goes looking for Danny
CAMILLE: Oh, Danny, we need to order a cat-scan
DANNY: I beg your pardon?
CAMILLE: Well, Megan Stanard has a headache
DANNY: Well she was fine earlier and a headache doesn't qualify as an emergency and, Camille, she has no insurance
CAMILLE: Look Danny ...
DANNY: Look, Camille, I know she's been through a horrible experience ...
CAMILLE: Just pretend I'm Aaron or Phillip, someone important and order the scan!
She walks away leaving Danny standing there.
AT HANCOCK'S CLINIC Sutton's questioning Dennis about Flori
JOHN: You're giving condoms to 14 year olds?
DENNIS: If they're sexually active
JOHN: You're promoting permiscuality in children
DENNIS: I'm promoting safe sex for adolescents, what's this about?
JOHN: Flori Hornandez. Somebody better tell her father about what's going on
DENNIS: That'll be hard. Died a year ago
JOHN: Then tell who ever it was, came picked her up
DENNIS: Tall guy, thin. Looks about thirty
JOHN: Yeah
DENNIS: Pablo. Her boyfriend
JOHN: Boyfriend? He's twice her age. Where's her mother in all this?
DENNIS: Pablo lives with Flori and Mrs. Hornandez. Helps with the food & rent
JOHN: Dennis, uh, I'm having a tough time believing you don't have a problem with this
DENNIS: No. I got a big problem with it. There's not a lot I can do, believe me, I've tried. I've had extensive discussions with all of them. Especially about safe sex
JOHN: You think that helps?
DENNIS: Yeah
JOHN: Yeah, well think again! Gram-stains from Flori's throat culture. How may 14 year olds do you know have gonorrhea of the throat?
THE COP HAS BEEN QUESTIONING DR MITCHELL. As he leaves the room, Camille walks over to him
CAMILLE: Did you arrest him?
COP: Can't make an arrest without some sort of proof. Evidence
CAMILLE: What about the rape kit?
COP: Hasn't shown anything. Right now it's her word against his and frankly, his is more reliable
CAMILLE: Because he's a rich, successful Dr.? I know a lot of doctors like that. They can be just as dishonest as the next person
COP: This woman frequents dive bars, goes home with strange men, you don't question her story?
CAMILLE: So he's free
COP: As a bird
Camille stands looking at Dr. Mitchell through the glass and Kate walks up.
KATE: Do you want something, Camille?
Camille glares at her and walks away. Kate enters the room
KATE: Hey
KYLE: Kate
KATE: Kyle, how ya feeling?
KYLE: I've been better. Some nut stabbed me
KATE: I know. I removed the knife
KYLE: I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon
KATE: Let's have a look
KYLE: O.K. You heard what happened?
KATE: Not exactly, but, ah, your right. She's gotta be completely nuts
KYLE: You didn't hear what she said?
KATE: Kyle, it's O.K. You don't have to tell me
KYLE: Listen
KATE: No, it's all right
KYLE: Listen, she's accusing me of raping her
KATE: I heard
KYLE: This woman, Megan, she asked me to take her home from the bar. It was someplace to stop on my way from the hospital. I didn't feel like going home to an empty house
KATE: Oh, I know that feeling
KYLE: Anyway, she said that she didn't want to wait for he bus
KATE: All right
KYLE: So, when we get to her place she offered me coffee and the next thing you know ... it was completely concentual, only afterwards she asked me for money. I had no idea she was a hooker. So I told her, No. I headed for the door and that's when she went crazy. She came at me with a knife.
KATE: God, it must have been so scary
KYLE: That detective who questioned me says I'm lucky to be alive
KATE: All right, I want you to get some rest and I am going to make sure that the nurses and the police leave you alone
KYLE: Thank you Kate
IN BILLY'S OFFICE the Stuart's examine the book that Billy has given them. Diane paces while Billy leans against the door frame.
DIANE: Because of the weakened muscle, your heart can work against only so much pressure, it's called after-load.
BILLY: I don't think they care about After-load
DIANE: You want to minimize after-load and oxygen consumption. That's what you want to do
BILLY: You are loosing them
DIANE: You asked for my help on this
MRS STUART: Oh my God (looking at a diagram)
BILLY (looking over her shoulder) O.K, now this one I would not recommend on a full stomach, no!
DIANE: Dr. Kronk and I ... we marked the positions that we feel are safest, so, um.. if you don't have any questions? Why don't you take the book home
MR STUART: Ah, Dr. Kronk, can I have a moment with you alone?
BILLY: Sure
BILLY AND MR STUART GO TO ANOTHER OFFICE
BILLY: What's on your mind Mr. Stuart?
MR STUART: I just, ah, I'm, ah, I'm, I wanted to ... ahem, you see ...ah ..I've never done it!
BILLY: Done what
MR STUART: It
BILLY: It?
MR STUART: It
BILLY: It!
MR STUART: IT!
AT HANCOCK'S CLINIC the Hornandez family is discussing Flori's results in Dennis' office
PABLO: I've been completely faithful to Flori, I swear
MRS HORNANDEZ: Dr. Dennis, I know Pablo. If he says my daughter is the only one he's been with, how can this be?
DENNIS: Sometimes with Gonorrhea people don't show symptoms for quite some time. Pablo could have been infected before he met Flori. You know, there are a lot of people who will criticize what all you are doing. Now, you know how I feel about it, I ...ah.. don't think this is the healthiest arrangement
PABLO: I wanna marry Flori, I told you how I feel
MRS HORNANDEZ: Pablo pays the rent and he makes Flori study, she listens to him, she doesn't listen to me
DENNIS: I just wanna be certain that we are doing what's best for Flori
MRS HORNANDEZ: I want that too, we all want that
DENNIS: Why don't you wait outside and I'll call you as soon as an exam room's open
BACK IN THE ER CAMILLE IS at the nurses station talking to Danny.
CAMILLE: You sent Megan for her Cat-Scan?
DANNY: Um, not yet
CAMILLE: Do you know where she is?
DANNY: I don't know, maybe she went home. The real question is, where have you been? We're swamped and instead of trying to find one patient, maybe ...
CAMILLE: Danny, don't you find it even slightly unjust that a rapist is upstairs being treated like royalty while his victim isn't even given the time of day?
DANNY: We even don't know if this is the guy, you're taking this too personally
CAMILLE: It is personal! Megan doesn't have insurance so she's ignored, I'm a nurse so I'm ignored ...
DANNY: Now you're being melodramatic
CAMILLE: You know where you can shove your melodrama!
CAMILLE STORMS OFF
AARON AND ROBERT ENTER AARON'S OFFICE. They are laughing and obviously just had lunch together.
AARON: ... and the hunter said,(in silly voice) "No, no. You misunderstood me, it wasn't then. It was just now when I went ROAR"
They both laugh at the joke. Aaron pulls a file from his drawer and hands it to Robert.
AARON: Anyway, this is just a rough draft, but ah, here's my proposal to study neuronal-regeneration
ROBERT: I can't wait to read it, ah, Dr. Shutt, the thing ...
AARON: Aaron, Aaron! Please
ROBERT: Aaron, um ... I'd really like to study under you
AARON: No-one studies under me, people study with me
ROBERT: Right
AARON: So, give this a read and, don't mind the spelling. I suffer from a little neuronal-degeneration, and get back to me
Robert goes to leave and the stop at the door. Robert reaches for Aaron's tie. Aaron's eyes bug out in surprise and Robert moves his hand up towards his shoulder. He hesitates, then leaves.
DIANE IS STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE STUARTS. She is talking with Mrs. Stuart while Billy is talking to Mr. Stuart in the other room.
DIANE: Your Husbands' a virgin?
MRS STUART: Uh-huh, he said he wanted to wait for the right girl, do you think that's odd?
DIANE: No, no lots of men his age have never had sex like ...
IN THE OTHER OFFICE BILLY and Mr. Stuart are having the same conversation
BILLY: ..... priests, ...
MR STUART: I know, it's just, what if I'm not any good at IT?
BILLY: Trust me, Mr. Stuart, it's the most natural thing in the world. You just gotta get crazy, rip off your clothes, jump into bed and ...
BACK WITH DIANE
DIANE: .....keep the lines of communication open, talking about what feels good and what feels bad ....
BACK TO BILLY
BILLY: ..... takes all the spontaneity out of it
MR STUART: So I shouldn't say a thing to her
BILLY: Well, if you're into that kind thing you can talk dirty to her. Tell her you want to ... ah...
DIANE IS FLOUNDERING TOO
DIANE: ... create an environment of trust and respect. You know it also helps doing romantic things together
MRS STUART: Like What?
DIANE: Well, like, you know, like walking along the shore, country picnics, watching ....
BILLY IS REALLY STARTING TO ENJOY HIMSELF
BILLY: .... adult Videos!
MR STUART: I've only seen one
BILLY: Trust me, sex is all about lust ...
DIANE IS LOOSING
DIANE: .... and love. The physical part is secondary.
BILLY & MR STUART COME OUT OF THE OFFICE AND Further down the corridor Diane comes out of the other one with Mrs. Stuart.
BILLY: All right, are you feeling better about this?
MR STUART: I think so
Mrs. Stuart hugs Diane
MRS STUART: You've been wonderful. Thank you so much. All right sweetie, set?
MR STUART: Goodbye, Dr. Kronk
Billy & Mr. Stuart shake hands and then the Stuart's walk away with their arms around each other. Diane and Billy look at each other then walk away in different directions. Megan can be seen staggering around in the background.
AT HANCOCK'S CLINIC FLORI AND PABLO ARE NECKING. John Sutton walks past with another patients and sees. He starts shouting at Pablo.
JOHN: Hey, hey! Get off that girl Mister!
John rips Pablo off Flori and slams him against the wall.
JOHN: This is a Doctor's office and she's a minor
PABLO: What the hell are you talking about? Why don't you stay the hell out of my business!
JOHN: Your business? Why don't you go rob somebody else's cradle
PABLO: I'm doing it because she likes it
JOHN: Likes it?
PABLO: Yeah
John punches Pablo and Dennis runs over.
DENNIS: Hey, hey John ... John
In Dennis's office John & Dennis argue.
DENNIS: What the hell is going on here?
JOHN: You tell me. A 31 year old was molesting an eighth grader in your waiting room and I'm the only one around here that seems to give a damn!
DENNIS: You obviously can't handle this
JOHN: No! I'm the one who is handling this! This girl needs someone looking out for her and it seems that it's gonna have to be me!
DENNIS (shouting over the top): You strode in here like the Great White Hope thinking you're gonna change everything and you're just making things worse!
JOHN: I called Child Protection Services to get Flori out of that house.
DENNIS: You called ..... on my patient?
JOHN: Dennis, you're lucky I called CPS and not the Medical Licensing Board. You know it's illegal not to report suspected child abuse
DENNIS: This is not child abuse
JOHN: No?
DENNIS: No
JOHN: How can you say that?
DENNIS: I see girls like Flori 20 times a day, it's never as simple as just yanking them out of their homes
JOHN: She's better off out of there and you know it
DENNIS: That girl needs her family
JOHN: That girl needs protection
John slams out of the office.
AT THE NURSES STATION AARON APPROACHED PHILLIP.
AARON: Phillip
PHILLIP: Aaron, how are you
AARON: Wow, the weirdest thing happened. I was talking to this resident about a research project and all of a sudden he ...he hit on me!
PHILLIP: What did he do?
AARON: Well, we were talking and he just reached over and started playing with my tie
PHILLIP: Your tie
AARON: I know it doesn't sound like much but it was, uh ...
PHILLIP: Could you have done something to invite it?
AARON: No. I didn't do anything
PHILLIP: Well you must have done something, sent some kind of signal?
AARON: Phillip, I'm telling you! I didn't do anything. I don't know where .... he just starts playing with my tie
PHILLIP: Well, maybe you're sending out signals and don't even know it
Phillip walks off leaving Aaron staring after him confused. Behind him we see Billy and Diane walking and the camera pans over to them.
DIANE: You what?
BILLY: I gave them a porno video! Mr. Man wouldn't show up
DIANE: Mr. Man? You know I can handle the word Penis, Billy
BILLY: I thought it would put him in the mood
DIANE: And what kinda mood is that?
BILLY: In the groove kinda mood, a Marvin Gay thing, hey you think they're gonna go for position 19 or 26?
DIANE: Billy, there's a lot more to it than just numerical positions
BILLY: Like what?: You are such a guy! Like, communication
BILLY: You don't want some guy blathering on about this and that when all he wants is to do IT, come on. Diane, do you really want your boyfriend to be like, "Diane, I am seriously considering initiating sexual relations, I feel ...
DIANE: No, no no and I bet she just grabs ya huh? You don't know the first thing about what a woman wants
BILY: Yeah, well I do know that the Stuart's are having great sex 'cause of what I did. If it wasn't for me they'd be lying around like a couple of beached whales, as far as I'm concerned I saved their life! I'm a lifesaver
Diane walks away going "yeah, yeah" as Billy's pager goes off
IN THE ER MR STUART IS ON A GURNEY HAVING SOME SORT OF ATTACK.
MR STUART: I'm dying, my chest, I can't breathe
BILLY: Now, Mr. Stuart, I want you to calm down, take it easy
Diane walks over
BILLY: Mrs. Stuart, can you tell me what happened?
MRS STUART: We were watching that video when the pain started
MR STUART: Those couples ... I can't do that ... not to my wife
MRS STUART: Do you think all the excitement could have brought on another heart attack?
BILLY: Very unlikely! We're gonna monitor your tests, find out for sure, stay here
DIANE: Nice going Mr. Man
BILLY: Not Now
AARON IS STILL CONCERNED. Phillip and Aaron talk as the walk down to the nursing station.
AARON: No, I did not provoke this guy!
PHILLIP: Uh-huh
AARON: Oh, all right, lets say that I ... I am a woman, all right?
PHILLIP: O.K.
AARON: We're working together, when all of a sudden I'm touching you
Kate is watching from the other side of the station and comes around after them. She obviously thinks they are talking about the Sexual Harassment suit.
KATE: Hey, are you guys talking about me?
AARON & PHILLIP TOGETHER: Why?
KATE: You're on Kronk's side aren't you, you think I harassed him, right?
Aaron & Phillip look totally confused
AARON: No
KATE: No, no ,no it's fine! Fine.
She storms off leaving them standing there. They watch her go them turn back to face each other
PHILLIP: All right
AARON: I'm touching you. I'm looking in your eyes. There's a strange vibration, you know what I talking about?
PHILLIP: What do you mean, vibration?
MEGAN IS IN KYLE'S ROOM. She is standing over him
MEGAN: I should have killed you
KYLE: Get away from me, get out of here
Kate sees through the window. As she watches Megan grabs Kyle and starts shaking him. Kate runs in
KATE: Call security
MEGAN: Tell them what you did to me you bastard! Tell them I'm not a whore!
Kate pulls her off him
KATE: It's all right
MEGAN: He raped me, tell them, tell them
Two security guards burst in and grab her, dragging her away
KATE: Are you O.K?
KYLE: Argh!
AT HANCOCK'S CLINIC DENNIS IS TALKING WITH FLORI
FLORI: He's really pissed
DENNIS: If Pablo isn't treated he'll re-infect you
FLORI: He won't come back as long as the other Doctor's around
DENNIS: I know. Flori, Dr. Sutton called some folks. Child Protection Services. They'll probably want to speak to you and your Mom about Pablo
FLORI: I really freaked him out
DENNIS: ah, it wasn't you
FLORI: But he was all nervous, like he'd never seen a girl before
DENNIS: Let me give you this shot
Flori bends over pulling up her skirt to show her butt.
DENNIS: Whoa, this .. uh ... goes in the arm
FLORI: Oh, O.K.
IN THE ER THE STUARTS ARE TALKING. Mrs. Stuart strokes his head to soothe him.
MR STUART: I'm sorry, I'm not the man you though I was
MRS STUART: Shhh, of course you are honey
MR STUART: If you want a divorce, I understand
MRS STUART: A Divorce?
BILLY (walking in) All right, hold on. Everybody calm down. No-one's getting a divorce, nobody's dying. Mr. Stuart, you had an anxiety attack, that's all. You're gonna be fine
MRS STUART: Oh, you hear that honey? You're gonna be fine. I love you so much! I don't want a divorce, I could never live without you.
MR STUART: Me neither
She's kissing him passionately. They suddenly freeze staring at each other.
MRS STUART: O.K, we need to get out of here
BILLY: All right, Mrs. Stuart, why don't you go with this nurse, she'll fill out some forms and you'll be on your way.
MRS STUART: Don't move! I'm gonna be right back
MR STUART: GGGrrrowwwllll!!!!!
Mrs. Stuart follows the nurse impatiently
BILLY: It looks like things are gonna work out OK between you two.
MR STUART: Yep, heh-heh, thanks to you and Dr. Grad. You know you're a real couple of cupids
BILLY: Yeah, well that's just a day job
MR STUART: You had me and Marge wondering if you were, you know, an item
BILLY: Who, me and Diane Grad? No, no she's not my type.
MR STUART: You never know, you know, I never thought Marge was right for me but look at us now, happy as clams
BILLY: Now, Diane Grad is no Marge Stuart, she's way too uptight
MR STUART: Find a way to loosen her up, but I don't recommend one of those videos, might give her an anxiety attack
KATE IS LEAVING KYLE'S ROOM and Camille runs up to her
CAMILLE: What happened
KATE: The woman that stabbed Kyle, I found her attacking him
CAMILLE: Where is she?
KATE: Taken downstairs, the police are on the way.
CAMILLE: Kate, she was raped, your friend raped her
KATE: So she says
CAMILLE: You have no idea
KATE: No, you have no idea! I've known Kyle Mitchell for 20 years, he's a kind and gentle man
CAMILLE: Megan Stanard says he raped her
KATE: And you believe her, great, I don't
CAMILLE: Where is your compassion?
KATE: Where's your objectivity Camille?
CAMILLE: This woman is the victim of a violent crime ..
KATE: Oh please! Enough with your opinions! God, I've got no patience with women who walk around they're victims all the time
CAMILLE: Is that why you act like a man?
KATE: Ah ... no! I act like me! Not like you, the perpetual victim, poor me. Nobody listens to me. No one respects me. It's just an excuse Camille! You don't have to take responsibility for yourself or your actions. Well, I refuse to do that and if that means I'm acting like a man, so be it!
A voice calls out "I need a Doctor Here" and a security guard runs around the corner.
GUARD: She collapsed in the hallway
Kate & Camille run to find Megan lying on the floor. Kate checks her out
KATE: She's blown her left pupil, lets get her up to surgery. stat. We need to hyperventilate her, and page Aaron. Tell him we're on our way up with a sub-dural hematoma
CAMILLE: Trauma Induced
GUARD: Did that guy do this?
CAMILLE: Yes
KATE: No
CAMILLE: Well something happened to her, you don't bleed into your head for no reason
CAMILLE WATCHES AARON WORK ON MEGAN. Aaron keeps making eye contact with Camille and we hear their muffled voices from Camille's side of the glass. She starts to flat-line and Aaron shakes his head. They disconnect her and Camille starts to cry.
CAMILLE BURSTS INTO KATE'S OFFICE
CAMILLE: She didn't make it!
KATE: I'm sorry
CAMILLE: Are you?
KATE: Camille, what do you want from me?
CAMILLE: How'd you get to be so tough! I mean, were you always like this? What are you trying to cover up
KATE: Camille, wait a second, listen ...
CAMILLE: No, you listen. You really listen for once. You know what I think? I think you are so afraid of being a victim, so incapable of showing compassion for Megan, for me, for anyone. So worried you're not tough enough. Before today I was intimidated by you and maybe a little impressed, not anymore!
DIANE IS IN THE LECTURE HALL WITH A BUNCH OF STUDENTS. She removes her coat and we see Billy skulking around the corner watching.
DIANE: OK. The title of today's lecture is The Physical Manifestation of Opportunistic Infections in AIDS Patients. Now, I have a video that reviews all the important points you need to remember when seeing these patients. OK pay attention.
Diane starts the video and takes a swig out of her water bottle. We hear porno noises and everyone bursts out laughing.
DIANE SLAMS INTO BILLY'S OFFICE, throwing the tape onto his desk.
DIANE: Oh yes, yes! This is your lame attempt at wooing me?
BILLY: Woo .... who would woo you? I was just looking for a reaction that wasn't straight out of a medical text book, wasn't even my idea
DIANE: Really? Who's idea
BILLY: Mr. Stuart's!
DIANE: You talked to a patient about me?
BILLY: Hey, he thought you and me made a good couple. I, of course, told him you were way too uptight for me
DIANE: What is this, calling me uptight all the time
BILLY: Diane, please. I think it's pretty obvious that anyone who wears as many turtlenecks as you do has some serious issues
DIANE: What?
BILLY: Come on, it's not like you come across as a sexual dynamo
DIANE: Oh, thank you Billy, that makes me feel really ...
She walks out
AT HANCOCK'S CLINIC Sutton is filling out a chart as Dennis walks in.
JOHN: You hear from Child Protection Services
DENNIS: Yeah, I did. I said Flori's healthy, happy , doesn't get hit, isn't into drugs, well fed and clothed, goes to school and church. Taiblonka's doing a great job
JOHN: You don't have a problem with a 14 year old having sex under her parent's roof?
As Dennis leaves the desk he throws this over his shoulder
DENNIS: You never had sex under your parent's roof?
John follows Dennis over to the other desk
JOHN: I'm just ... gonna make this my last day
DENNIS: Flori really pushed you buttons, huh?
JOHN: She did not push my buttons. I won't stand back and watch a helpless girl's life go down the tubes
DENNIS: Does Flori seem helpless?
JOHN: She wears her tight T-shirts and sleeps with her boyfriend but she is still a kid
DENNIS: A kid who looks like a woman, come on John, how'd Flori make you feel
JOHN: I don't even know how to respond to that
DENNIS: You already have. You're bagging this clinic because you can't handle it. Just like I said
AARON IS WALKING DOWN THE CORRIDOR and Dr. Lawrence is running after him, waving a report.
ROBERT: Aaron, wait up, hot off the press. I thought we could go over this later
AARON: Yeah, listen .. ah... Robert .. um
ROBERT: Any suggestions you have I'd really appreciate, maybe over dinner?
AARON: Robert, I don't wanna seem, um
ROBERT: What Aaron?
AARON: Um, I'm very flattered, ah, but ... I'm straight!
ROBERT: Oh
AARON: Did you hear otherwise?
ROBERT: No, no not at all. I just thought what with your divorce and your relationship with Geiger and him being gone ... well .... you never know, but ... ah ... I'd still like to work together
AARON: Sure, sure
ROBERT: Great, so .. ah .. dinner?
AARON: No, no. Uh, not tonight, I .. ah ... I'll see you around
KYLE IS SITTING IN BED READING. He's wearing glasses. KATE Walks in, startling him
KATE: Kyle?
KYLE: ha ha ha, just a little jumpy, huh?
KATE: I'm not surprised. Listen, um, mind if I sit?
KYLE: No, not at all. Do you believe that woman? Twice in one day. I more than owe you Kate. If you hadn't come in ... what .. where is she? They arrested her
? KATE: She's dead. Cerebral Hemorrhage
KYLE: Oh my God
KATE: Yeah
KYLE: I pushed her away. She must of hit her head or something
KATE: Kyle, tell me what happened. Tell me the truth
KYLE: How can you ask me to tell you the ...
KATE: Look, I just need the truth, OK? I just need to know, from you, what happened
KYLE: Kate, I told you ...
KATE: No, no you didn't. Just tell me you didn't rape that woman
KYLE: Kate, come on
KATE: Kyle, I swear to God if you did this
KYLE: Kate
KATE: Just say the words, Kyle
KYLE: I told you
KATE: No you didn't, just say them
KYLE: I did not rape that girl
KATE: Thank you, that's all I wanted to hear, thank you. Can I get you anything?
KYLE: I just want to rest
KATE: OK
As she leaves she hesitates at the door with her back to him.
DANNY IS LYING ON A GURNEY ASLEEP. Camille walks over and tried to wake him. He's talking in his sleep. Obviously through for the night
CAMILLE: Wake up. Wake up
DANNY: the shaft is the engine .... stroke the balls ... the shaft is ....
Camille whacks his arm
CAMILLE: Danny, you're a pig!
DANNY: I was on the 18th at pebble beach. I had a 10 footer for an eagle and you had to wake me up. What for?
CAMILLE: It's about what happened today. It's about what's been happening
DANNY: Look, I'm tired, I've been on for 36 hours straight
CAMILLE: This afternoon when I asked you to order a cat-scan for Megan Stanard you refused.
DANNY: Camille, I don't mean to sound cold but does this really matter, I mean now?
CAMILLE: What matters is that the only way you agreed to that test is when I said to pretend I was someone important
DANNY: Yeah , so?
CAMILLE: Well, I am someone important! Without me the hospital would fall apart. I'm the one that gets your patients where they need to go, I'm the one who gives them their medication, I'm the one who gives them comfort in time of need, who holds their hand, who blows their nose, who wipes their butt, I don't want you or Kate Austin or anyone around this place to take me for granted ever again
DANNY: Have you been seeing a shrink?
CAMILLE: I learned something today. The difference between Megan and me? She was a true victim, she couldn't control what happened to her, but I can. Go back to sleep
DANNY: Camille? Goodnight
CAMILLE: Goodnight
JOHN SUTTON IS WAITING FOR DENNIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STEPS.
JOHN: Dennis, listen ... ah .. I'm sorry. I lost control. Jumping all over Pablo like that. I shoulda kept my head
DENNIS: I still think you're avoiding what this is all about ... Flori
JOHN: You're wrong man
DENNIS: That girl made you feel things that were totally inappropriate. It happens
JOHN: Not to me
DENNIS" John there are models today that look like they're 12, companies pay millions of dollars to sell underwear. It's bound to affect us. It's meant to. Why should you be immune?
JOHN: Dennis, this is kid stuff. I'm not affected by ...
DENNIS: Yes, you are. We all feel things. The difference is not acting on them. What surprises me is that you don't see this. Hey, see ya later man.
PHILLIP IS FINISHED FOR THE DAY. His coat is over his arm and he has his briefcase. As he goes leave he see Aaron sitting on the couch waiting.
PHILLIP: Aaron
AARON: It's been a very, very strange day
Aaron pulls on his tie as Phillip sits beside him.
PHILLIP: I'll bet that feels good, to loosen your tie
AARON: I did not send out signals to that resident, intentional or otherwise, OK?
PHILLIP: All right, All right
AARON: I was just trying to be a friend
PHILLIP: All right, have you heard from Jeffrey lately?
AARON: Geiger?
PHILLIP: Jeffrey Geiger, you know another?
AARON: Why would you ask about Jeffrey now?
PHILLIP: Well, you were talking about being a friend and you and Jeffrey were friends
AARON: Yeah So?
They walk to the elevator
PHILLIP: Best Friends
AARON: All right, what are you ... what is it Phillip? What are you trying to say? Yes, Jeffrey and I were friends. We were best friends. Can't two guys be friends without the whole hospital thinking they're doing the road show from Macaja Fall?
PHILLIP: I .. ah ... you feel like having a drink?
AARON: Are you asking me out on a date? Huh? You are! That's what you're doing aren't you. But you can't own up to it
Phillip is laughing and looking uncomfortable
PHILLIP: All right
AARON: You are asking me out, you're hitting on me
They step into the elevator
AARON: Come on, face it. You want me, you want me bad
PHILLIP: Aaron ... Aaron stop it
Aaron leans over and kisses Phillip on the cheek.
PHILLIP: I think we both need a drink!
The doors close
IN DIANE'S LAB Billy is looking for her. He is carrying a big bunch of flowers.
BILLY: The Stuart's ...ah ...sent us these
DIANE: They're nice
BILLY: Ah, is there someplace I can put them?
DIANE: Here
BILLY: I was thinking
DIANE: Now, that is a wonder
BILLY: Ah, look. Maybe it was the Stuart's, you know, they seemed very happy, and..um ... what I said about the turtleneck, and ah
DIANE: Me being no sexual dynamo?
BILLY: Maybe I was wrong
DIANE: Maybe
They kiss passionately
DIANE: Don't tell anyone
All the animals go nuts as they kiss and the lights fade
