When Diane and Allison are talking in the room her husband is
laying they hear: "Under the Boardwalk" performend by The
Drifters.
Remark: Bette Middler is also performing a version of this
song and yes you are reading right: Bruce Willis. I came a
cross a cd he recorded named: Bruce Willis and this song is on
it. (By the way he sings not bad and he is also playing the harmonica
for a blues called "Blues for Mr. D" and an instrumental
"Tenth Avenue Tango")
When Jeffrey operates you can hear: "Heat Wave" performend
by The Who can be found on their album: A quick one, Happy
Jack
and later when Jeffrey and Kate are operating together : "Get
Ready" performend by The Temptations
Geiger to Birch: "Get Kate Austin out
of my O.R. and back in her kitchen baking brownies."
Jeffrey and Aaron walk to Aaron's office:
Jeffrey: Where you've been? I'm starved.
(They enter Shutt's office)
You read Austin's proposal yet? Fill you in at lunch.
(Camille has also been waiting for Aaron)
Camille! ... Good to see you. ... Nice dress, very shapely. ... Don't
tell me you finally got a day off, huh? ... I'll take a rain check,
huh? (he leaves)
Dennis paged Jeffrey to look after one of his patients
Jeffrey: What's the problem?
Dennis: H.O.C.
Jeffrey: Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy. What's the matter
big words scare you?
Finishing up their first operation together operation, ("Get
Ready 'Cause Here I Come" is playing in the background) Kate and
Jeffrey have a conversation:
Kate: So, our first surgery together. We had a good time didn't
we?
Jeffrey: I did. Cut. Saving someone's life, what could be more fun?
Plus, you make me laugh, Austin. You do, you really do.
Kate: I'm glad... What about me in particular? What cracks you
up?
Jeffrey: Oh, where to start. So many things really.
Kate: Like uh...?
Jeffrey: Like uh... the charity auction. Coughed up 32 hundred bucks
to go out with Kronk.
Kate: Yeah, that's pretty funny.
Jeffrey: What else... You're a Cubs fan.
Kate: Oh yeah. That's always good for a laugh.:
Jeffrey: I guess the most hilarious is uh... you signed on for half
my salary.
Kate: (laughs) That's a real knee slapper. What about my Board
proposals?
Jeffrey: I was amused at first, I admit it. In fact, they bother me
quite a bit.
Kate: Oh Jeff. Don't be such a kill joy. You know, everything I've
outlined from shorter stays, higher patient volume, fewer lab tests--
it's all meant to keep us goin' out of business.
Jeffrey: No doubt we need reform around here. I just don't think
you're the one with the answers. Do you mind closin'?:
Kate: For you, Jeff... anything.:
Jeffrey: Appreciate it.:
Kate: Boy, I sure hope I'm the one with the answers. I'm taking a
hefty roll with the dice on this one.:
Jeffrey: Yeah, how so?:
Kate: In exchange for the salary cut, which actually I didn't find
that funny, the hospital Board made me a deal. If my proposals are
accepted and results in significant savings, I could make out big. I
mean *really* big. I'm practically guaranteed a piece of Chicago
Hope. And get this... someday I might even become Chief of Surgery
and be your boss! (laughs) Isn't that a scream? Christine.
(Christine changes the music back to Puccini as Jeffrey silently
walks out.):
Alan asks Jeffrey to become Alicia's godfather after Aaron had told Alan that he couldn't be it
Alan: Oh Jeffrey, I was just coming to see you. (He closes the
door to his office and rushes up to JG.)
Jeffrey: Slow down, slow down. You'll hurt someone. I sound just like
my old man. If you'd known him, that's just what you'd say too.
Alan: Sorry, I'm late to meet the father.
Jeffrey: My father?
Alan: No, my father.
Jeffrey: (confused) Your father's dead, so is mine. None of
this makes any sense.
Alan: Father Fatima. He's performing Alicia's baptism. There's been
some last minute changes...
Jeffrey: Ah, you know I never realized you were a practicing
Catholic. I mean, not that it would make any difference to me you
being Catholic, me being Jewish.
Alan: Jeffrey. I would like you to be Alicia's godparent.
Jeffrey: I wasn't your first choice, was I?
Alan: No.
Jeffrey: I should have known, what with you being Catholic, me being
Jewish. That's... such... big differences between us.
Alan: You weren't the first choice; you are the obvious choice.
Jeffrey: Well, why didn't you think of me first? What about
Aaron?
Alan: Don't ask, just answer.
Jeffrey: (whispers) I'd be honored. (smiles)
Alan: You will! Oh great! (He runs to the elevator.) All right, see
you on the terrace.
Jeffrey: What happens at this shindig? I mean, nobody's speakin' in
strange tongues or anything?
Alan: Noooo. Of coarse not.
Jeffrey: No flames of fire dancing on anybody's head?
Alan: No no no no. I've got to go. (He enters the
elevator.)
Jeffrey: Alan, Alan. (Alicia's crying in his office.) Forget
somethin'? (The elevator doors begin to close as Alan sticks his
arm out to stop them.)
Alan: Oh my God! ... Oh! (He rushes to Alicia, but the door to
his office is locked.) Oh no! Oh my God! OK honey! It's OK! I'm
coming. (He pushes at the door.) Don't worry! Daddy's coming! Here I
am! Oh my God!
(Geiger calmly punches in numbers on the phone as Birch tries to
break down the door with a running start. A yelp is heard when he
makes contact with the door.)
