Audrey: "Wait. Uh...Dr. Burke." she tries to stop him when he sits up

Burke: "I'm fine."

Richard: "You need to lay down. You've lost a lot of blood."

Burke: "I'm fine. Let go. I'm fine. I have a patient that I have to go check on."

Bailey: "No, no. No, you are the patient. Lay down!"

Burke: "Dr. Bailey, when did you get here?" he chuckles

Richard: "Page Shepherd."

Audrey: "Yes, sir." she nods

Bailey: "Ok, no, no exit wound."

Derek: "Entry upper right shoulder. Could be lodged in the spine. Ok, let's roll him over."

Richard: "Easy."

Derek: "Watch the arm."

Richard: "Easy."

Derek: "Hey. Dr. Burke?"

Burke: "Hmm?"

Derek: "The bullet is in dangerous property here, ok? We need to check your hand function."

Audrey: "Can you squeeze my fingers?" she wraps his hand around her fingers and they watch as his fingers don't move and they exchange looks between them

Cristina: "They moved my guy upstairs. How is he?"

Bailey: "I need you to wait outside."

Cristina: "I'm not gonna wait outside" she pushes past her to grab hold of his hand "Burke?"

Burke: "Can we have a moment?"

Richard: "Only a moment. I don't want to waste any time, ok?" he says and they walk out the room to give the two some privacy
