(This flashback takes place after Eve was hospitalized after the elevator bombing. It shows Eve at her sarcastic best while Lucy comes to her defense)
Chris: (enters Eve's hospital room
after the elevator bomb went off and she's brought in as a patient) Hey,
I can't leave you alone for a second.
Eve: Hi.
Chris: (concerned about Eve as
he rushes over to her bedside) How's it going?
Eve: Well, you know, my bad habits.
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, as usual. (she offers him a
light smile as he touches her head gently while Kevin stands on the other
side of the bed)
Chris: (inspecting her over) Right.
Well, I think you'll live, but if you intend on continuing to live dangerously,
can I take a life insurance policy out on you? (he teases lightly)
Eve: (laughs lightly as she looks
to him while he rubs her head gently) Oh, nice beside manner, Ramsey.
No wonder all the old ladies ask for you.
Kevin: (breaks his silence as he
notes the closeness between Chris and Eve) Next time I'll ask for you for
you myself.
Chris: (shoots him a bit of a scathing
look before looking back to Eve) I heard the explosion was courtesy of
the 'General Homicide' killer
Kevin: Apparently so.
Eve: (looks to Chris and adds)
Kevin saved half the hospital. He and Scott defused the second bomb.
Chris: Really? (then comments a
bit sarcastically) Wow--psychiatrist, best-selling author, explosives expert.
You should star in your own action flick.
Kevin: (modestly) We're lucky no
one was killed.
Chris: (looks to Eve's leg) Whoever
sewed this leg did a good job.
Eve: (smiles) Manelli
Chris: (placing the blanket back
over her) Perfect job. Listen I know you'd be more comfortable at
our place, but you lost a lot of blood, so I have to keep you here.
Eve: (sighs) That's fine.
I understand. You know, I'm just really, really happy to be alive
and I have Kevin to thank for it.
(Scene changes and returns to Chris
still taking care of Eve)
Chris: Ok, when was you last tetanus
shot?
Eve: (nods) Oh very recently.
Chris: Within the last five years?
Eve: (coyly) I was definitely in
school somewhere.
Chris: (disbelieving) Right.
Looks like today's going to be your lucky day.
Eve: (shaking her head) Oh no it's
not. Uh-uh
Garcia: Dr. Lambert. You
up to answering a few questions?
Chris: She's been through quite
a bit today, Garcia. Do you have to do this now?
Eve: No wait a minute, Chris.
You know, actually I would like to answer some questions because as long
as I'm speaking to the good detective, you can't give me a tetanus shot.
Garcia: Were you up on the roof
today?
Eve: Why yes, I was and it was
a lovely view. Yes, of course I was up on the roof.
That's how they evacuated me from
the elevator shaft.
Garcia: I mean earlier.
Eve: What, before the bomb went
off?
Garcia: Precisely.
Eve: Why?
Garcia: Because someone fitting
your description was seen on the roof this afternoon around 3:30.
Eve: Wait a minute. Are you
accusing me of what I think you're accusing me of?
Garcia: Just answer the question,
please.
Kevin: Eve was almost killed in
that blast. You don't really think she set it off.
Garcia: Kevin, I'm just asking
a simple question.
Eve: (angry) I am a victim, Garcia.
I didn't kill anyone--ever! Get that through your doughnut-hole brain!
Kevin: Eve, Eve calm down.
Chris: (reaching out to her) yeah,
relax okay? You're hyperventilating.
Kevin: I think you just overstayed
your welcome, Garcia.
Eve: What do you think you see?
Huh? Do you honestly think you see a woman who is crazy enough to
set a bomb and then wait and be there while it goes off?
Kevin: (ready to kick Garcia out
of the room) Garcia I don't think this is the time or place for an interrogation.
Eve: No, wait, Kevin. Let
me get this over with, ok? Garcia, in between my shifts as a medical
resident, I have taken up a new hobby--repelling. I was practicing
this afternoon in the general hospital elevator shaft.
Kevin: (with a frown) Eve--
Chris: You know I have some nylon
here. I could stitch her mouth shut.
Garcia: Do you take anything seriously,
Dr. Lambert?
Eve: Not if I can help it.
Lucy: (walking in) Sorry.
Hey, I just wanted to tell Kevin something.
Eve: come on in. You're just
in time. The grand inquisitor here was about to rake me over the
coals.
Lucy: And why would hat be?
Eve: Well, it seems like someone
saw me up on the roof today around 3:30 planting explosives, apparently.
Lucy: Ah, I see. What kind
of nut case would plant explosives in an elevator shaft and then get on
that same elevator in that same shaft, huh?
Eve: As I said.
Chris: What, did you train with
inspector Clouseau?
Garcia: The elevator malfunctioned
before the bomb went off. The killer couldn't have planned on being
stuck inside.
Lucy: What time did you say this
occurred? 3:30?
Garcia: that's right.
Lucy: Well, that's impossible for
Eve to do because she happened to have been with me at the firehouse at
the time. (Everyone looks shocked) Ok, you can all put your eyeballs
back in your head before I use them for Ping-Pong balls.
Kevin: Well, I guess you have the
information you need.
Garcia: Are you sure about this
Lucy?
Lucy: Why in the world would I
lie for Little Evie? You know me better than that. She was
at the firehouse.
Chris: (Approaching Garcia) You
know Kato is waiting in the lobby, and you got to get on the trail of the
pink panther. (He looks back to Eve) You--I'll be back with a tetanus
shot.
