Day 2
Donald: Welcome to Day 2 of "Survivor, ER Style." Previously we had another one of the infamous Ross/Weaver battles, a moonlit tryst and some blatant hostility by some team members. How will it go today? We'll just have to wait and see.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Carter: You know, I thought I had gotten over Anna, I really did. But she was the love of my life, and seeing her again…more beautiful than ever…it's just like old times.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
(The M.I. Beach in the morning.)
Anna (yawning): Morning, Carter.
Carter (startled): Oh! Hey, Anna.
Anna: Did you sleep okay? You look pretty tired.
Carter: Seven years of getting no sleep, I guess I'm just used to it.
Anna: Are you Chief Resident now?
Carter: No…I…it's a long story.
Anna (confused and worried): Okay.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Doug: Ah, me and Weaver: Together again. What a nightmare! She's still the bureaucratic and ambitious bitch I always knew she was.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Doug (cheerfully): Hello, Kerry.
Kerry: What do you want?
Doug: You know, catch up, reminisce about the good old days.
Kerry: Were there ever good days between us?
Doug: There would've been if it hadn't been for…never mind.
Kerry: Wait! Hadn't been for what?
Doug: Nothing, nothing.
Kerry: Say it! Come on, you were going to say, "If it hadn't been for your personality."
Doug: I only did my job, Kerry, and you know it. That's why you hate me so much.
Kerry: You were an irresponsible doctor who didn't follow the rules, Doug, and after three years you finally paid the consequences.
Doug: Sometimes you have to break the rules, Kerry, it's called moral judgement, something you obviously don't have!
Kerry: I still have my job. What about you?
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Kerry: God, I wanted to slap him. Arrogant and cocky until the end.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
(Dave and Mark are still sleeping, side by side.)
Dave (moaning and rolling onto Mark): Oh, Jing-Mei, come back! Don't leave me…No, Chief, not the cane again!
Mark (waking up): Get off me, Malucci! Malucci, wake up!
Dave: No, Ma, another five minutes…
(Mark slaps his head.)
Dave: Huh? What? Dr. Greene…uh, what happened?
Mark (thinking evil thoughts): You were dreaming about Kerry Weaver?
Dave (horrified): Did I say anything?
Mark: Uh, yeah, that you love her, and have never seen any woman as sexy as she is.
Dave (mystified): Huh, a dream about the Chief!
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Doug: Okay kids, here are today's plans: We already have shelter and fire, so our next tasks will be gathering coconuts, fishing, and finding whatever else we can scrounge up. So, Anna, Carter, you go fishing, Mark, Susan and I will gather the coconuts, and Kerry, Jing-Mei and Dave, search the island for anything edible.
Kerry (to Dave and Jing-Mei): Ready guys?
Dave (remembering the dream Mark told him he had): Sure, Chief.
Jing-Mei: Let's just get this over with.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
(At the P.E. camp.)
Robert: Ah, Dr. Kovac. Have you seen Lizzie?
Luka: She, Abby, Kim, Carol and Randi all decided to take a swim.
Robert (excited): Hmm...I'll have to drop by that little party later. So, Luka, may I call you Luka?
Luka: I suppose.
Robert: Where did you and Nurse Lockhart disappear to last night?
Luka (blushing): Uh, we took a walk.
Robert (studying his face): I think you have a hickey on the side of your neck.
(Luka, flustered, covers the hickey)
Robert (smirking): Must've been one hell of a walk.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
(Elizabeth, Abby, Carol, Kim and Randi are all swimming in the ocean.)
Elizabeth: You're looking awfully tired this morning, Abby.
(They all giggle.)
Abby: So, everyone knows?
Randi: Of course. Not much to gossip around here about.
Carol: You're lucky, having your boyfriend on the same team.
Kim: Yeah, Luka seems like a great guy.
Abby: He is.
Elizabeth: Tell us what he's like in bed!
Randi: Or on the beach.
(They all laugh again.)
Abby (blushing): Incredible.
Elizabeth: Oh, you have to give us more than that!
Abby: Well, he's gentle, very considerate…he has the longest fingers, and a great body…basically your perfect lover.
Kim: Depending on your preferences. But, I do have to admit, if anyone were to convert me, it would be him.
(More giggling.)
Robert: What's all this laughing about, ladies?
Elizabeth: None of your business.
Robert: Oh, I see. Talking about all of my perfections again, are we Lizzie?
Elizabeth: Hardly.
Robert: Well, anyway, I just came to tell you girls to come back to the beach for today's assignments.
Kim: Why do you get to order us around?
Robert: Because I'm Chief of Staff, and if you don't follow my orders, I'll have all of your asses when we get back to County.
(Back on the beach.)
Robert: Now, I know it is everyone's goal to beat Weaver, so I stole a look at her daily schedule. By now I'm sure she's been overthrown, but to be on the safe side, we need to follow her plans and do even more. So, Lizzie and I will go fishing, Nurse Hathaway and Kovac will hunt for more food on the island, Lockhart, Benton and Legaspi will search for more firewood, and Randi will stay here to keep the fire going. Go to work!
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Carol: So, Luka…how have you been?
Luka: Oh, you know, busy with work…
Carol: How long have you and Abby been seeing each other?
Luka: For about six months now.
Carol: I'm happy for you.
Luka: What about you? How have you been?
Carol: I've never been happier.
Luka: How are the girls?
Carol: Walking and talking. It's impossible to keep up with them.
Luka: I'm sure they're beautiful.
Carol: So, are you and Abby pretty serious?
Luka (shyly): You could say that.
Carol (teasingly): Wedding bells and babies in the future?
Luka: I don't know, we want to take it slow right now. But maybe in a couple years.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Carol: I'm glad he's found someone else. I still feel guilty about the way I left, I know he cared about me and the girls…I cared about him too…And then there are all of those "What ifs?" I do wonder about it sometimes, what would have happened with us if I hadn't gone to Seattle. But I guess I'll never know.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
(On a raft out on the ocean.)
Robert: Lizzie, are you and Tumor Boy really that serious?
Elizabeth: Robert, we're engaged. What do you think?
Robert: So I have absolutely no chance?
Elizabeth: If nuclear holocaust were to happen and you and I were the only people left on earth and it was up to us to recreate the human race, you still would have absolutely no chance.
Robert: Well, if you had to choose between me and Malatucci, who would you pick?
Elizabeth: Truthfully?
Robert: Yeah.
Elizabeth: I'd kill myself before I chose.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Elizabeth: God, he's getting on my nerves. It's bad enough being away from Mark, but being hit on by Romano constantly is worse. Maybe I'll plan a mutiny against him.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
(At the M.I. Camp)
Jing-Mei: I can't believe we got stuck with Malucci.
Kerry: Maybe we could kill him and bury his body in the woods.
Dave: Hey! I heard that.
(Jing-Mei and Kerry both roll their eyes.)
Kerry: Malucci, you're the loudest snorer I've ever heard.
Dave (panicking, remembering the supposed dream): Uh, oh, really?
Jing-Mei: Yeah, I should've brought earplugs as my luxury item.
Dave: I didn't, uh, talk in my sleep though, did I?
(Kerry and Jing-Mei look at each other mischievously.)
Kerry and Jing-Mei: Maybe.

Carter: We're never going to catch any fish.
Anna: We're quite the optimist, aren't we?
Carter: Sorry, but I'm already getting sick of rice and coconuts.
Anna: I don't blame you. But if there's one good thing about that diet, I'll lose some weight.
Carter: You don't need to lose weight, Anna. You're beautiful just as you are.
Anna (blushing): Thanks.
Carter: So, are you still doing pediatrics?
Anna: Yeah.
Carter: You were always great with kids.
Anna: Sometimes I wonder if I want to stay in the ER though. Too many tragedies come through the doors.
Carter: I know what you mean. I'd miss it, though. The chaos, all the weirdoes, having to make split-second decisions…
Anna: There's nothing else like it, is there?
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Susan: Do you remember that one time we put Carter's leg in a cast, and then there was that 40-car pile up and he had to go through all the traumas with that thing on?
Mark (laughing): How could I forget? Later he came to me and told me that a patient sawed it off of him.
Doug: Where was I for all of this?
Mark: I believe you were on vacation with Linda Farrell, the pharmaceuticals lady.
Doug: Ah, yes, Linda. I'd forgotten about her.
Susan: So, is Kerry still giving you crap?
Mark: Of course, it's Kerry.
Doug: How's Carter doing? I heard about the drug thing.
Susan: What drug thing?
Mark: He and a med student were stabbed, she died and Carter ended up addicted to pain killers.
Susan: Oh, God.
Mark: That was our reaction. I couldn't believe it. Benton took him to rehab in Atlanta, and he was gone for three months. He's better now, I guess.
Doug: You remember Carter when he was a third-year?
Susan: He was such a little kid! Always full of questions…
Doug: Say, when did Deb Chen come back?
Mark: About a year ago, but don't call her Deb anymore. It's Jing-Mei; Carter's the only one that can get away with calling her Deb.
Susan: Are he and Jing-Mei together?
Mark: I don't think so, but she was really there for him after the stabbing.
Doug: I notice he's been looking rather longingly at Anna.
Susan: Who's that?
Mark: The blonde one.
Susan: Ah, okay.
Mark: That's a bad idea. I know what happened last time.
Susan: Got his heart broken?
Doug: Yup. She's engaged now, too.
Susan: Carter can't catch a break, can he?
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
Susan: Wow, I've missed a lot…I still can't believe Carter was addicted to drugs…He was always so sweet and innocent. But I guess no one stays like that.
