| Kerry: | Now Mark, I think this ER's great, But...there are problems that can't wait! Now Benton's fine, and Carter too, But Ross and Susan just won't do! Now who do you think that we should hire, Since both of them today I'll fire? |
| Mark: | Kerry, maybe we should wait and see... |
| Kerry: | That's great Mark! I knew you would agree... |
| Jerry: | Dr. Weaver? Sorry to interrupt... But the paramedics just pulled up. |
| Mark: | Ok, I'm here. What have you got? |
| Shep: | This little boy has just been shot! His pulse is faint, his breath is weak. We did all we could to stop the leak. |
| Riley: | And this woman here, she has a broken hip... |
| Carol: | How did she fall? How did she trip? |
| Shep: | The kid's mom was getting in my hair, So I shoved her--lightly--down some stairs. |
| Mark: | Benton, Kerry! Take the mom to three! Doug and Susan! Come with me! |
| Riley: | But wait, but wait! Oh don't you see? We've got some more; one, two, and three. |
| Kerry: | You've got three more? How can this be? Explain it, tell it all to me! |
| Riley: | Well, Shep was driving. Really fast. A light turned red. Shep hit the gas. We hit a car, it hit two more. Soon the total rose by four. Another bang! Another crash! But we couldn't stay, we had to dash! We grabbed these three but I am sure, The injured totaled sixty score! |
| Carter: | These people really are a mess! Their injuries I cannot guess! It makes me sick, my knees are weak, A toilet I must soon go seek... |
| Benton: | It's ok Carter! Stay on your toes! It doesn't get worse than this you know! To Trauma four let's take these three. You can do it, come with me! |
| Green: | Ok, let's get this boy on the table. To save his life if we are able! |
| Haleh: | Dr. Green! This boy is cyanotic! I can't find a pulse...oh, wait I've got it! But it is weak! Oh, woe is us! |
| Doug: | Give him saline! IV push! CBC, chem 7, stat! We will save him, bet on that! Oh no, he's showing poor perfusion! Lydia, start a blood tranfusion! |
| Lydia: | But Dr. Ross, I hate to say. The blood bank didn't come today! We're out of blood, I can't believe! |
| Doug: | Here, use mine! (rolls up his sleeve) |
| Kerry: | We need some help! There's been a crash! Someone's heart stopped with a flash! But Dr. Benton saved the day, And Carter's going to be ok. |
| Susan: | What can I do, where can I go? I'm not incompetent you know! I deserve a chance and with good reason, I only killed one guy last season! |
| Mark: | It's fine! It's done, the kid's ok. We're sending him up on his way. To surgery he's off to go, They must sew up that bullet hole. But Dr. Ross, he's out of sorts... We had to take a dozen quarts. |
| Benton: | Ok, we're done. I did it all. I used a double breasted suture saw. I closed them up, I fixed their ills. I patched their wounds, I gave them pills. I have their livers in this sack. I did it all, behind my back. I need more patients, give me more! I just cured three, now give me four! |
| Carter: | What happened? Did I miss it all? I saw some blood. I took a fall. But it doesn't matter, we saved the day! |
| Carol: | Get ready! There's more on the way! |
| Picard: | Sigma Indri, that's the star, So, Data, please, how far? How far? |
| Data: | Our ship can get there very fast But still the trip will last and last We'll have two days til we arrive But can the Indrans there survive? |
| Picard: | LaForge, please give us factor nine. |
| LaForge: | But, sir, the engines are offline! |
| Picard: | Offline! But why? I want to go! Please make it so, please make it so! |
| Riker: | But sir, if Geordi says we can't, We can't, we mustn't, and we shan't, The danger here is far too great! |
| Picard: | But surely we must not be late! |
| Troi: | I'm sensing anger and great ire. |
| Computer: | Alert! Alert! The ship's on fire! |
| Picard: | The ship's on fire? How could this be? Who lit the fire? |
| Riker: | Not me. |
| Worf: | Not me. |
| Picard: | Computer, how long til we die? |
| Computer: | Eight minutes left to say goodbye. |
| Data: | May I suggest a course to take? We could, I think, quite safely make Extinguishers from tractor beams And stop the fire, or so it seems... |
| Geordi: | Hurray! Hurray! You've saved the day! Again I say, Hurray! Hurray! |
| Picard: | Mr. Data, thank you much. You've saved our lives, our ship, and such. |
| Troi: | We still must save the Indran planet -- |
| Data: | Which (by the way) is made of granite... |
| Picard: | Enough, you android. Please desist. We understand -- we get your gist. But can we get our ship to go? Please, make it so, PLEASE make it so. |
| Geordi: | There's sabotage among the wires And that's what started all the fires. |
| Riker: | We have a saboteur? Oh, no! We need to go! We need to go! |
| Troi: | We must seek out the traitor spy And lock him up and ask him why? |
| Worf: | Ask him why? How sentimental. I say give him problems dental. |
| Troi: | Are any Romulan ships around? Have scanners said that they've been found? Or is it Borg or some new threat We haven't even heard of yet? I sense no malice in this crew. Now what are we supposed to do? |
| Crusher: | Captain, please, the Indrans need us. They cry out, "Help us, clothe us, feed us!" I can't just sit and let them die! A doctor MUST attempt -- MUST try! |
| Picard: | Doctor, please, we'll get there soon. |
| Crusher: | They may be dead by Tuesday noon. |
| *COMMERCIAL BREAK, COMMERCIAL BREAK |
|
| HOW LONG WILL THESE DUMB ADS TAKE?* |
|
| Worf: | The saboteur is in the brig. He's very strong and very big. I had my phaser set on stun -- A zzzip! A zzzap! Another one! He would not budge, he would not fall, He would not stun, no, not at all! He changed into a stranger form All soft and purple, round and warm. |
| Picard: | Did you see this, Mr. Worf? Did you see this creature morph? |
| Worf: | I did and then I beat him fairly. Hit him on the jaw -- quite squarely. |
| Riker: | My commendations, Klingon friend! Our troubles now are at an end! |
| Crusher: | Now let's get our ship to fly And orbit yonder Indran sky! |
| Picard: | LaForge, please tell me we can go...? |
| Geordi: | Yes, sir, we can. |
| Picard: | Then make it so! |
