Eddie: So you were leaving the store and just… came across the body?
Young Man: Yeah. It’s kinda dumb, but Becca an’ me… we always get
some of those candies.
Eddie: And the body was in front of-
Girl: I’m never gonna chew that gum again.
Jordan: Hey! I heard you
decided to come back.
Eddie: Yeah. Mayberry just wasn’t doing
it for me, you know.
Jordan: You sure you want
my opinion? I’m the M.E. after all, not a
detective.
Eddie: Yeah. Right. Come on.
Bug: You know, you’ve had some bad ideas and some really bad ideas, but
this one… this one really takes the cake, Nigel.
Nigel: Come on, it’s brilliant!
Bug:
Brilliant is not the word I’d use.
Nigel: A chance to - to bring some joy to others- …
- earn the department a little much needed good PR –
Bug:
We work in a MORGUE. We cut up dead people!
Woody: Is it creepy that I think you’re sexy when you’re doing that?
Jordan: Creepy… kooky… all
together ooky. (beat) Want me to keep going?
Woody: Only if you do that finger snapping thing,
too.
Jordan: Woody, I’m fine.
Okay? Fine.
Woody: You don't think maybe you should get a
second opinion on that?
Garret: I don’t think so, Nigel.
Nige: Just think, Dr. M. A chance to-
Garret: Let me rephrase that: NO.
Lily: Oh, Nige! You know normally I would but this year… with
Maddy and all.
Nigel: Bring her along!
Lily: I just couldn’t. It’s such a busy time and we’d be out late… and all
those people… I’m sorry.
Nigel: Her first Christmas, Lil. Just think, years
later, you could show her the pictures, tell her how
from the time she was a baby she liked to help others.
Just like her mum, eh?
Jordan: Thanks, Nige.
Nigel: And I just so happen to have the perfect way
for you to show your gratitude …
Santana: Are any of them over there mentally stable?
Seely: That was rhetorical, right?
Carver: Hmmm… I wonder if Townsend can pull it off.
Framus: If he does, I hope there are pictures. The
blackmail possibilities alone could make it all
worthwhile.
Kate: No. That’s not great. That’s a preview of hell. And don’t
call me ‘luv.’
Nigel: Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
Kate: The lady is going to protest this scalpel
right into your hand if you don’t move.
Kate: Why do I always end up talking to myself in
this place?
Woody: Where’s your Christmas spirit?
Jordan: I made a gingerbread house to share at
work!
Woody: What if I promised you a… substantial reward
for your participation?
Jordan: Substantial? Proud of yourself, huh?
Woody: Maybe… Are you telling me I shouldn’t be?
Jordan: Ummm… no.
Jordan: Is this my reward?
Woody: Call it a down payment.
Eddie: The light helps?
Nigel: Worked, didn’t it?
Jordan: Might’ve worked.
Eddie: With Jordan Cavanaugh on the case?
Jordan: Don’t forget my
merry men.
Eddie: I wouldn’t dare.
Eddie: Woody? (long beat) Hoyt. You… and… Hoyt.
(shakes his head) Never could stay away from cops,
could you?
Jordan: I saw Dr. Sanchez
this morning.
Woody: I thought you… weren’t…. You said -
Jordan: Consider it an early Christmas present.
Jordan:
There was a chance he had cancer. I was – furious
when he didn’t tell me.
Woody: You and Max? Must’ve been a first.
Jordan: We’re – I mean, there’s a we now…
and… I – I like that.
Woody: I like being… us, too.
Jordan: Geez, man, did you
really think we’d let you down?
Nigel: I – um – no one came to… well, if you want
to know…yeah. Yeah, I did.
Kate: I’m not sure Binky’ll be as forgiving though.
Nigel: I’ll find him something special for
Christmas.
KATE’S
eyebrows arch.
Nigel: (a little pale): Not that special. I do need my kidneys.
Kate: Technically, you only need one.
Nigel: I suspect Woodrow had a hand in this.
Woody: I just gave her some things to… consider.
Jordan: He was very
persuasive.
