Patricia: "And I can't say this enough. Charts are organized by room number. I know you're temps, but there's no excuse for sloppiness."

Burke: "Did they bring back Edmonds' chart from physical therapy?"

Derek: "You know I can't do my job without vitals on the chart." they talk at the same time while looking through a couple of charts

Patricia: "Know why I stopped being a nurse? Doctors. Doctors who don't know how to pitch in."

Sky: "What do you expect Patricia? They weren't raised right." she says smirking at the boys as the woman smiles at her before walking away as Richard walks past them

Burke: "Right. There should be a way to compromise."

Derek: "This place is going to hell. We need the real nurses back."

Richard: "We need 40 nurses to relieve the overtime that they're striking about. That's $2 million a year we don't have."

Sky: "Have you checked under the couch? I always find spare change there" she says standing at the bottom of the stairs as he turns to face her with a slight glare "Ok, I'm silencing myself." she says as they turn their separate ways and she goes down to the pit

Alex: "Can you tell us when you first noticed the rash?"

Man: "When we were climbing Rainier yesterday."

Sky: "Wow! You go up the Emmons Glacier route?" she says coming over to them and taking the chart from Cristina as she hands it to her 

Woman: "Please. You can do that in an SUV. We did Liberty Ridge."

Sky: "Oh, wow. That's hardcore. Hi, I'm Dr. Sky Rivers."

Claire: "I'm Claire, this is Wade. It's our honeymoon."

Sky: "Congradulations.  God, look at that rock." she says looking at the ring on her finger

Cristina: "Did you sustain any trauma on the hike? Did you fall down or bang your leg?"

Claire: "No."

Wade: "Well, she cut her foot on oyster shells at the beach a couple days ago. We were windsurfing in Puget Sound."

Sky: "No way. Oh, wow. Looks like you'll need a honeymoon to recover from your honeymoon."

Claire: "Ow" she says as Cristina checks her foot "My leg's going to be ok, right?"

Alex: "Yeah. It's probably a simple skin infection."

Cristina: "Uh, no, it's not. Look." she says as they see the discoloration on her leg spread over the line

Sky: "Anyone care to probe the wound?" she says as they operate on Claire 

Both: "I do."

Alex: "I'd like to try one of your amazing surgical techniques Dr. Rivers." he says making her chuckle a little

Sky: "Well go ahead Dr. Karev. Okay, good. Just go ahead and slide it in."

Alex: "Whoa. No resistance."

Cristina: "Let me see."

Nurse: "Dr. Rivers?" she says holding a phone up to her ear

Cristina: "Let me see."

Sky: "Yes?"

Cristina: "No healthy muscle gives way that easily."

Sky: "My god. Oh, this poor girl. Ok everyone, we're locking down the OR. All nonessential personnel must leave now."

Cristina: "Was that Pathology?"
