"What are you doing here" an astonished Camille asks Danny. "I live here" he answers.(Camille after waking up next to Danny)
TOP Transcripts:Geiger takes out the Rabbi's bad heart:
Jeffrey: Say good night Gracie. We got an empty Rabbi here Camille. Let's get the new ticker in here.
Camille drops the heart. It is then kicked under some equipment:
Alan: Oh my God, oh my God. This is not good. Where did it go?
Everyone freezes, Camille stares wide-eyed in horror:
Jeffrey: Somebody ... go pick the heart up.
As the doctors try to get to the heart, Geiger grows impatient:
Jeffrey: Maybe we could all go a little faster. I got an empty chest here. Pull it out gently and put it in a new sterile basin. Camille rescrub and get back in here. Anybody who's touched it rescrub. We'll be fine. Nobody panic. (After Camille returns from scrubbing, Geiger tries to ease her mind) It's a strong muscle Camille. It's gonna be all right. Take it out and hand it to me. Let's go.
After the operation:
Jeffrey: One more thing. This patient has a fine, strong heart in him. He'll probably outlive us all. We're human. What happened here was nobody's fault. What's more, this patient does not need the added stress of knowing we played kickball with his new heart. Nothing leaves the room. (He looks at Camille) We're agreed.
Later, Geiger is paged to Taubler's room:
Jeffrey: What the hell happened? (Camille explains and Geiger takes control) He's bleeding like a geyser in there. (As Camille is pumping his heart, Geiger shoves her away and yells) Back off, Camille. Back off.
Geiger and Nyland open Taubler's chest and continue to work on him:
Jeffrey: The aorta is crumbling like a potato chip. ...
Danny: He's gone. ... (but Geiger continues to work) Dr. Geiger, he's gone. ... Doctor, he's gone.
Jeffrey: Damn.
A devastated Camille is in the hall. Aaron looks at her and passes her by. Geiger looks at Aaron walking away and tries to console Camille:
Jeffrey: Has nothing to do with the incident.
Camille: We don't know that.
Jeffrey: I'm telling you, I do know it. Camille, listen to me. You could have played basketball with that heart and it still would have been Okay. It's a ball of solid muscle. It wasn't your fault.
Camille: Then why is he dead?
