(Sam and Gates arrive at the accident scene)
Sam: Abby, what are you doing here?
Abby: Wrong place, wrong time.

Abby: Something's wrong here.
Morris: (looking at Pratt's x-ray) What?
Abby: The tibia and fibula are intact.
(Morris, Gates, Abby, and Sam stare at the x-ray)
Abby: Pratt, that's not your bone sticking out.
_____________________________
Morris: Listen, I don't think we all need to be here. There's nothing more we can do for now. (long pause) We'll take shifts. There're a lot of patients. He would tell us to get out there and take care of business. That's what he'd say.
