Jake: Wow. Well, I see you certainly are a glutton for punishment. Greenlee: Enter the good doctor with another asinine comment. Jake: Do you remember what I said when you came into the hospital? Greenlee: Cut my losses with Leo? It was bad advice then, and it still stinks. Jake: Well, all I'm saying is, actually, is that no man likes to be played for a fool, Greenlee. Greenlee: Oh-ho. Now, there's the voice of experience. You just missed the love of your life. She left with Ryan, the love of her life. Jake: Ooh, oh. I deserved that, huh? Greenlee: Stick to medical advice, you'll be fine. Jake: Well, actually, if I felt this strongly about someone -- and you know I have -- I suppose I'd make a fool out of myself, too. Greenlee: Hmm. Finally, some understanding. Jake: Well, that doesn't mean we're friends. Greenlee: Far from it. But I could use someone to help me escape. People are still staring at me. Jake: Ok, well, I guess, you want to go have a drink? Greenlee: Anyplace but here. Jake: Listen, I think you've taken enough abuse for one night. Come on, let's go.

Greenlee: Hey. Jake: Hey. Greenlee: How's Gillian? Jake: Oh, she's going to recover. Greenlee: And the baby? Oh. Poor Gillian. How horrible, and Ryan, I would never wish this on him. Jake: What the hell do you think Ryan's got to do with it? Greenlee: Oh, my God. It was your baby.
Greenlee: I came to order some takeout. I'll leave you alone. Jake: No, no, don't go. I mean, would you mind? I could use some company right now. You know, I want to have another one of these. And what'll you have? Greenlee: Another one of those. Comforting people isn't really one of my talents. Jake: Oh, you're just the person I need right now. Greenlee: Really? Why? Jake: Well, because pretty soon I imagine you'll start talking about yourself. I'd prefer that. Greenlee: We can talk about whatever you want. You're being so brave. I mean, I don't know what I would do if I were a doctor and I couldn't save my own baby. I'm sorry. I am sorry. That was stupid. Jake: No, no, no, you just -- that's exactly what I was sitting here thinking. It actually helps to hear it out loud. Thank you. Greenlee: Here's to better days.
Greenlee: So Gillian just expected you to give her a divorce? That woman can give me selfish lessons. Jake: No. I'm the selfish one because I wanted that baby. And I risked Gillian's life trying to save it. Greenlee: How did you risk her life? Jake: Gillian should've gone straight to the OR when they brought her into the hospital. But I waited because of the baby. And Gillian almost died because I hesitated. Greenlee: But she didn't, and she's planned out a pretty nice life for herself. So should you. Jake: I can't face going back to the hospital. Greenlee: You don't mean just tonight, do you? Jake: I'm not going back. I quit my job there. Greenlee: So let me get this straight -- the last time Gillian messed with you, you ended up in a war zone. Well, I guess I get that. You do things like that when you're in love, but if Gillian makes you give up medicine now? That's not being in love. That's being a fool.
Jake: You have shown me no mercy tonight, that's for sure. Greenlee: You know I'm right, Jake. You have let Gillian wipe the floor with you ever since you got back from Chechnya. I mean, it's fun to be a martyr every now and then, but you have it tattooed on your forehead. You need to show yourself a good time. Jake: Really? Greenlee: You know what? I could use some fun, too. Come on. Let's find some. Jake: No. No, no, no, not tonight. Greenlee: Oh, tonight is the perfect night. Jake: No. Greenlee: Come on. Let me show you the art of wallowing in self-indulgence. Jake: Greenlee, Greenlee, Greenlee -- lead the way. |
