EXT. AMBULANCE BAY
Chen, still on shift, walks outside, sipping from a coffee cup. From the looks of it, she's had a long day. She catches sight of Dave, sitting dejectedly in the shadows with his own cup of coffee. She heads over to him.
CHEN: Hey.
He looks up.
CHEN: Weaver change her mind?
MALUCCI: No, not yet.
CHEN: She will. She's just mad at you.
MALUCCI: She's always mad at me. This is different.
CHEN: Well, maybe it'll blow over.
MALUCCI: I don't know, I... I should have seen it. I didn't focus on the mediastinum.
CHEN: I didn't even look at the x-ray, Dave.
She sits down beside him.
MALUCCI: Because I told you it was clear. I mean, I thought I was doing the right thing. I just-I just wanted to save the guy.
CHEN: You know, they say you're not a real doctor until you've killed a few patients.
He looks at her. Cold comfort. He looks down again, as does she.
CHEN: What are you going to do?
MALUCCI: This is the only thing that I've ever been any good at. (determined) I'm going to be a doctor.
He stands up, and walks back towards the building.
