- Dr. Robert Romano: Just finishing up my disciplinary report, recommending that your residency be terminated for operating without an attending.
- Dr. Peter Benton: Hmm, if you turn that in I'll be forced to defend myself.
- Dr. Robert Romano: Hmm, well good luck Peter.
- Dr. Peter Benton: That'll mean I'll have to turn in these labs showing that your blood alcohol level was .12. You shouldn't have even been driving, let alone operating on someone.
- Dr. Robert Romano: Don't bluff me Peter,
- [rolling up his sleeves to show his arms as proof]
- Dr. Robert Romano: you didn't draw my blood.
- Dr. Peter Benton: Not from there.
- [Romano checks his thighs]
- Nurse Shirley: Are those baked beans?
- Dr. Peter Benton: Yeah, and french fries. Oh.
- Nurse Shirley: Ooh, that's rank.
- Dr. Peter Benton: What's this? Coleslaw. Ah, here's a good one, what is that? Mystery meat?
- Dr. Robert Romano: What the hell do you think you're doing operating on my patient?
- Dr. Peter Benton: [to Romano] Saving his life.
- [to himself]
- Dr. Peter Benton: You jerk.
- Dr. Robert Romano: Get me a gown and gloves now! And Peter get your hands out of my patient.
- Dr. Peter Benton: Okay, give me a little suction here.
- Nurse Shirley: Sucker's clogged.
- Dr. Peter Benton: Yeah, it's a cranberry.
- Dr. Robert Romano: Gloves Shirley, gloves.
- [Enters OR]
- Dr. Robert Romano: Where the hell is she?
- Dr. Peter Benton: Who?
- Dr. Robert Romano: Who do you think? What d'you do, give her extra work to hang her up here?
- Dr. Peter Benton: I have no idea what the hell you're talking about.
- Dr. Robert Romano: Step away.
- Dr. Peter Benton: Alright.
- [He does so]
- Dr. Robert Romano: Who gave you permission to start without me?
- Dr. Peter Benton: He was going into septic shock.
- Dr. Robert Romano: You are a resident Peter, you don't take a piss without getting permission. And where the hell's Lizzie, off doing your scut?
- Dr. Peter Benton: She left an hour ago.
- Dr. Robert Romano: What the hell d'you use to make this incision, a chainsaw?
- Nurse Shirley: [to Benton] He's been drinking.
- Dr. Peter Benton: What?
- Nurse Shirley: He's drunk.
- Dr. Peter Benton: Go, call Anspaugh now.
