— She became quite a power player.
— Why is it whenever a man calls a woman a "power player,"it sounds pejorative?
— Uh, your imagination.
— So now you're patronizing me?
— Okay, I'm not playing in this minefield.
— You're already in it, pal.
— Whenever I used to operate, I'd come visit the shark.
— Oh, communing with one of your own, huh?
— I'm kinder and gentler now.
— Oh, yeah, right.
We go home at night, just like everybody else, but we never really stop. You know why? {points to a sign with an inscription in Latin} It means "this is where death rejoicesto teach the living." Every person has something to teach us, and we never stop learning.
— Oh, like mother, like daughter, huh?
— Honey, even we know when to call it a night.
— No, you don't. You never stop
— She's got you there.
— Aren't you supposed to be interviewing me now?
— What's the point? You're not gonna show me anything.
— Look, some things you'd see in this place would make your hair stand on end.
— Like what?
— Like your mother on a warpath.
— A man's foot and hand were found in a field yesterday. And then earlier today, I found a knee and a thigh in an alley.
— Can I see them?
— Sure. If... what? No. No! No. Your mom had questions, right?
— Have you read these questions? How am I supposed to learn anything about what my mom does with these lame questions?
— Lame? How about number four? "Name your three biggest influences in medicine and why." You know, I remember, uh, the first time I saw Rembrandt's "The Anatomy of Dr. Tulp." I thought it was lame, like these questions. Lame.
— So...show me something cool.
— "How would you describe my mother?" Um, I think it's safe to say that your mother is determined to be the best at what she does. She's very committed to the job.
— So what you're saying is, even when my mom's not in charge, she's still in charge.
— In this case, you better believe it.
— Yeah, I took him to the lounge. He bought me champagne. He was a real gentleman. Why?
— He have a last name?
— It didn't come up.
— Your job is to answer her questions and make me look good.
— So you want us to lie? I don't see how this plan could possibly fail, Megan.
It's so difficult to raise children, isn't it? All the work you do trying to protect them from the world, but the hardest part of all... letting them go.
— I just wanted to see how things were going.
— Uh, Sam is poring over Elena's case files, I wanna get a closer look at this bullet.
— No, I actually meant how are things going with you?
— Fine. I'm fine.
— It's not that hard, you know, to connect with people. Just take an interest.
When she opened her eyes again, you were the first thing she saw...this brilliant woman who...gave her her life back. She decided then she wanted to make a difference, like you.
— I can't remember Elena Rosas as a patient, but I can remember her as a surgical procedure?
— A lot's changed since then.
— Has it?
— Where are you going?
— I am going to apologize to her the only way I can...try to find her killer.
— Hey. What was that all about this morning at the crime scene? You and Sam... the... the arched eyebrows, the sighing.
— You mean to tell me you didn't notice?
— There was a murder victim to attend to. I think that takes precedence over...whatever it is you're going to tell me.
— Bud's mood? The... the way he was barking at everybody?
— Uh, isn't he always like that?
— Bud is having problems with his wife again.
— I thought he was divorced.
— You know, if you applied that laser focus you have to the people around you, you wouldn't have to ask.
— Oh, sorry. Uh, I was just rearranging your instruments. The new deaner had them completely out of order.
— How do you know what order I want them in?
— Well, you know, they don't call me "Eagle Eye Ethan" for nothing. Nobody calls me that.
— You know, somewhere under all the crap that you're dealing with is a decent person and a good mother. And the only reason that I put up with it is 'cause I'm fairly sure that you won't find her without me.
— That is an incredibly arrogant thing to say.
