Quotes 

• Maggie Lockwood : Keoni? What did you do?

  Keoni : No clue.

  Maggie Lockwood : Jeff, with me. We're going to Treatment 2.

  Keoni : Doing a DIY reno on the bar. Been tripping over construction supplies all week. Must have twisted my ankle. Didn't notice 'til it got really bad.

  Jeff Clarke : All right, let's take a look. Hop up there. Take a look at this flat tire. These your construction boots?

  Keoni : I'm Hawaiian, brah. Slippers are multipurpose.

  Jeff Clarke : [taking his flip-flop off]  You got a nail in your foot, dude.

  Keoni : You're kidding?

  Jeff Clarke : It doesn't hurt?

  Keoni : Been barefoot or in slippers since I could walk. Callouses so tough I could walk on hot coals and wouldn't even flinch.

• Jeff Clarke : Let's get a CBC, a CMP, and a tetanus, and have Danny come down with a portable x-ray machine.

  Maggie Lockwood : Okay. You've been living in Chicago twenty years, Keoni. Put on some shoes.

  Keoni : And give up the endless summer? Never.

• Jeff Clarke : Hey, man. I got your labs.

  Keoni : Good news only, please.

  Jeff Clarke : Can I sit?

  Keoni : Uh-oh.

  Jeff Clarke : Everything's normal except your blood glucose. It's extremely high.

  Keoni : Diabetes.

  Jeff Clarke : Yes. I'm gonna start you on IV fluids and insulin and order hemoglobin A1C. Get a better reading on your sugar levels.

  Keoni : Diabetes can make your feet numb. That's why I didn't realize I had a nail in my foot, isn't it?

  Jeff Clarke : Yeah.

  Keoni : I've been sick for a while.

  Jeff Clarke : Look, the important thing: we caught it. Some lifestyle adjustments, and you'll get way out ahead of this thing.

  Keoni : Yeah, sure.

  Jeff Clarke : Look, I get it. Change isn't easy, but in the long run, it's the only way.

• Sharon Goodwin : Making a break for it, Keoni? Really?

  Keoni : Seemed like a good idea at the time. Figured Maggie was sending over a shrink.

  Sharon Goodwin : Oh, no. You get me.

  Keoni : I apprecite the red carpet, but there's nothing you can do. In the back of my mind, I knew it was diabetes. I should've never come to the hospital.

  Sharon Goodwin : Because what, denial is a good solution?

  Keoni : You don't understand, Sharon. My family, diabetes kills. Now it's my turn.

  Sharon Goodwin : Your genetics don't doom you, Keoni.

  Keoni : No? I eat healthy. I don't drink the coladas or the daiquiries that I make at the bar. I exercise. Yet here I am. I did what I was supposed to do.

  Sharon Goodwin : Yeah, and unfortunately, people like you and I have to do that and more to break the cycle. Yes, I have diabetes, too. And I've lost family also.

  Keoni : I didn't know.

  Sharon Goodwin : Many don't. And it's not because I'm hiding it, but because I've got it under control. And I have for the last fourteen years. There are people in this hospital who have to surrender. You have an opportunity.

  [handing him a pamphlet] 

  Sharon Goodwin : You better take it.

• Jeff Clarke : Hey, Keoni. Wanted to say goodbye. You good?

  Keoni : Work in progress, but I'll get there. Heard you're taking off for the sunshine.

  Jeff Clarke : Oahu. You're my last patient.

  Keoni : A native Hawaiian. Must be fate.
