Phillip to Geri: An ear fell off a patient in the OR, put it back on.Geri teaches Jeffrey how to kiss
(Geri walks over and kisses him; no response from Jeffrey.)
Geri: This is how it works. I kind of put my lips onto yours and squish 'em around a little and you sort of squish yours around too.
(He smiles.)
Look at that.
(They kiss again - Geri takes his hand out of his pocket and puts it around her waist.)
TOP Transcripts:Geiger is in Autopsy 124 examining a corpse's heart when Geri Infante walks in:
Geri: I got him after you.
Jeffrey: The consent was just to examine the heart.
Geri: The widow said I could. I'm trying out a new rhinoplasty. (taking a closer look at the corpse) Hey, wait a second. I think I already did this guy once.
Jeffrey: Referring to his nose?
Geri: Ha Ha. No, it's not mine, but this is good work.
Jeffrey: Geri, I'm gonna be a while here. What can I do for you?
Geri: I want us to sleep together. (Jeffrey slices right through the heart with his scalpel.)
Jeffrey: It's a good thing he was already dead.
Geri: I'm sorry. But I know you. Once you're inside somebody's chest, "How 'bout lunch" doesn't get your attention.
Jeffrey: Is that what you really want-- lunch?
Geri: Today, yeah. Tomorrow, maybe a dinner. Next week, maybe dinner and a movie. After 2 or 3 times of that, maybe we do sleep together.
Jeffrey: Is that how you ask men out?
Geri: I never ask men out. They ask me. Problem is, you're not going to and you're the one I want to see.
Jeffrey: Well, I'm very flattered. But... I don't like you.
Geri: Yes, you do. I wouldn't antagonize you so much if you didn't like me, at least a little. Jeffrey, you need to get out more. You're playing with corpses. Male corpses.
Jeffrey: It would be unprofessional for you and I to date. You're a senior surgeon-- interfere with my sexually harassing the nurses.
Geri: There's some kind of chemistry between you and me. There has been for ten years.
Jeffrey: You and me?
Geri: You're afraid I'd be too much for you. I understand that completely and you're probably right. I don't want to put you down, but emotionally you're a child. You're afraid to cross the street for fear of getting run over.
Jeffrey: I've heard that line in a song. I think the Carpenters?
Geri: I'm offering to help you get across the street, Jeffrey. I'm offering to hold your hand the whole way.
Jeffrey: You and me?
Geri: You and me.
Geiger and Shutt walking in the hall:
Jeffrey: She asked me out.
Aaron: On a date?
Jeffrey: No, on an autopsy. She asked me out on an autopsy. Of course on a date. I want you to come.
Aaron: Why?
Jeffrey: It will be easier, less tension. I don't know how to talk to a woman alone.
Aaron: You talk to women all the time.
Jeffrey: Well, this one talks back. Look, do me a favor. Do I ask for much? I think I don't. If we go in a group, I could leave if it goes sour. She still has someone to talk to. I'm trying to be considerate. Don't make me say "please" Aaron. You know how I loathe that word. Geiger and Shutt run into Geri in the hall:
Geri: Hey. Are we still on?
Jeffrey: Yep. Aaron's gonna join us.
Geri: He is? (sarcastically) That's great.
Jeffrey: I thought, you know, we could all go. It would be more fun.
Geri: Uh huh. (beeper goes off) It's mine. Gotta go. Why don't the two of you go out? Have a blast.
Aaron: I don't think she wanted me to go.
(Jeffrey laughs as he enters the elevator.) Kronk and Watters discuss Brian, the boy who was trapped beneath a frozen pond for three hours:
Billy: I'm going to crack him and pour some warm water right on the heart. It can't hurt.
(Geiger comes over.)
Jeffrey: Yeah, it probably won't do the trick. He's still running ice water through his circulation, but do a thoracotomy. Put the pacing wires directly on his epicardium, so we have some control on the way to the OR. C'mon, keep going.
Phillip: You're going to put him on bypass?
Jeffrey: Surest way to warm the blood. He's already in and out of v-fib. His myocardium needs help fast. Fortunately we got nothing to lose.
Geri: (stops) This is supposed to be our first date.
Jeffrey and Geri are back from their date in Geiger's office. They kiss and suddenly:
Jeffrey: Yeah. OK, OK. (but they resume until... Jeffrey starts to gag.)
Geiger's on a gurney, as Watters and Geri wheel him to X-ray:.
Geri: JEFFREY! JEFFREY! (Notices him choking and hits him on the back.)
Jeffrey: God. Oh God.
Geri: You OK?
Jeffrey: I swallowed... It was lodged, but then I... then I swallowed it.
Geri: Swallowed what?
Jeffrey: Your earring.
Geri: My what? (feeling her ear). Jeffrey: It just went down.
Geri: It just went down? It's a diamond stud. Spit it out!.
Jeffrey: I can't spit it out. I swallowed it.
Geri: Are you kidding? (Jeffrey collapses, head first, on the floor.).
Phillip: What do you mean he swallowed something?.
Geri: I mean he swallowed something. It went down his esophagus.
Phillip: You mean, like a bug?.
Geri: Could have been a bug. Could have been a diamond earring. Would you stop asking so many questions, Phillip. Looking at Geiger's X-ray:.
Phillip: That's an earring, all right. How'd it get there?.
Jeffrey: It's not important. Here's what is-- I'm not in any pain at the moment..
Geri: I'd like to use an endoscope. It's an heirloom.
Phillip: How'd it get in there?
Jeffrey: You can't do an endoscope. It's halfway into my abdomen.
Geri: I want the earring.
Phillip: You should be able to pass it.
Geri: Like hell. It's more than a karat. I saw "Fantastic Voyage". Loved it. But that stud is not making the journey your talking about and ending up on my ear.
Phillip: How did you manage to swallow-- ?
Jeffrey: Never mind. Geri, I'm gonna take a suppository, followed by a nice, big, steaming cup of coffee, chased by a bran muffin and 16 ounces of prune juice.
Geri: It's an antique.
Jeffrey: You want it to see the outside world again or not?
Phillip: How do you manage-- ?
Jeffrey and Geri:.NEVER MIND!
Jeffrey: Phillip, regardless of how I happened to ingest her jewellery I'd appreciate you not revealing this incident around the hospital
(Jeffrey and Geri leave.)
Phillip: Who would believe it?
