ER

Chen: Feels good to be back.

Chen: I'm surprised to see you down here. Thought you'd get a surgical residency for sure. Carter: I did. I gave it up. Chen: Oh. Greene: Deb Chen? You're the new resident? Chen: Oh, that's right, Dr. Greene. Oh, but it's Jing-Mei now. (Carter snorts) Chen: Actually, it always was. (Chen hits Carter lightly on the arm with notebook) Greene: Sorry. Carter, listen, I might have to fly to San Diego this morning. So if you could show uh, Deb... Chen and Greene: Jing-Mei Greene: ...the ropes. Okay? Carter: Sure. Hey, is everything okay? Greene: Well, my father's barricaded himself in our old house. There's no heat, there's no electricity. He's running around in his underwear so actually everything isn't okay, but thanks for asking. (Greene walks off) Carter: Yeah. (to Chen) Yeah, I'm actually pretty surprised to see you around here. I, uh, thought you dropped out of medicine after... Chen: I almost killed that patient by leaving a guidewire in his chest? Carter: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring that up. Chen: Oh yes you did, John. But that's okay. And let's face it, it was kind of a low point. But it did force me to face the truth. I was being way too aggressive. Way too much of an overachiever. Always trying to show people up. Carter: Well... Chen: And way too successful at it. I'd left the patient out of the picture.

Romano: Lizzie, you and I are both aware that I am capable of a low blow. However, I rarely use it to such purity of purpose!
