Dr. Elliot Axelrod : You're kidding! I didn't even know she was sick.
Nurse Shirley Daniels : It's been 10 years, Elliot.
Dr. Elliot Axelrod : Oh, then I guess I shouldn't send flowers. Thanks for the tip. I would have faux-pauxed myself all over the conference room. Probably blowing my chances of becoming a first-year resident this fall. How do I look?
Nurse Shirley Daniels : Here let me straighten your tie.
[Adjusts his tie]
Nurse Shirley Daniels : There's not much I can do with the rest of you.
Dr. Elliot Axelrod : I really hate interviews. My hands always get clammy. I mean, what if he asks a question I don't know the answer to? And most important, do you think he'll like me?
Nurse Shirley Daniels : Elliot, in the six months since you started your externship in the ER, there's one thing I can say about you. If they're judging on originality, you're a shoe-in.
Dr. Elliot Axelrod : Oh, good.
