Maya: Hey, can you cover meat desk duty for a sec?

Jack: Uh, pretty sure I'm already on desk duty. I'm covering for Montgomery.

Maya: Well, it's my first day back, and I'm only approved for desk duty You know what? It doesn't matter.- I-I'll be right back.

Jack: Where you goin'?

Maya: An errand I have to run.

Jack: An errand while on shift?

Maya: An errand where I try to convince my wife to love and forgive me through bribery and a delicious savory dish that I woke up at the crack of dawn to cook.

Jack: Uh-huh. I approve. Go.

Miranda: Oh, uh, am I interrupting?

Carina: Sorry, I ran out of toothpaste at the hotel, so I grabbed some on my way in. But my water bottle was empty. It's just been one of those days.

Miranda: I'm sorry to hear you're still at a hotel. Ew. Sorry,

Carina: I used to love room service. Now it tastes like heartbreak,

Miranda: Even the fries?

 Carina; Except for the fries. What can I do for you, Dr. Bailey? 

Miranda: Have you thought more about volunteering additional hours at my clinic?

Carina; Is it still called volunteering if you're forcing me to do it? 

Miranda: Okay, the station's clinic can survive without you for a few shifts.

Carina: Uh, does your husband know you're trying to recruit me away from Station 19?

Miranda: You are an OB.

Carina: Yeah.

Miranda: I run a reproductive rights clinic. This is a no-brainer.

 Carina: Okay.

 Miranda: So that's a no.

Carina: Ben will understand

Miranda: We need to be open longer hours, okay? And it's not me asking. It's the women who need us asking. The women who drive long hours- from abortion-hostile states

 Carina: Oh, God. 

Miranda: That need us to open outdoors when they arrive.

Carina: That is so manipulative.

Miranda: These are facts. 

Carina: Ugh. Come in. 

Maya: Hi,  oh. I, uh, hope I'm not interrupting. Uh, I brought you something special. It's lasagna. Okay, it's not as good as yours but I hope you like it. 

Miranda: It looks delicious

 Carina: Maya. You can't just storm in here with lasagna, Maya. You can't. I'm at work

Maya: I can. So I did because I love you, and now I am leaving. Bye. 

Carina: What?

Miranda: Eat the lasagna.

Carina: No.

Miranda:  You're having one of those days, you said. And the woman you love just brought you lasagna. And even though you're still angry enough to live in a hotel and eat food that tastes like heartbreak, eat the lasagna your wife brought you.  It might just turn your whole day around. Ugh, um, think about what I said. Okay. I'll bother you some more later.
