(Amber grabs her keys to drive to work on her first day)
LATER AT GREY SLOAN MEMORIAL PARKING LOT

Alex: Cool ride.
Amber: (Without looking at Alex) Thanks.
(Amber passes Alex and walks down the hall next to a guy with glasses)
Levi: Hi.
Amber: Hey. Levi, right?
Levi: Yeah, that's me and your Amber obviously. I uh saw your car in the parking lot its really cool like its from Fast and the Furious. I don't know which one though since there are so many and I haven't...seen any of them.
Amber: Has anyone over the age of 20 seen them? It's a '69 Ford Mustang Fastback if you want to buy a similar model.
Levi: Oh no, I was just telling you it's a nice car, that is definitely not a car for me. I mean it definitely fits your...aura.
Amber: (Raises eyebrow) And what exactly is my aura?
Levi: (Awkward) Um just that you seem kind of...rough. Like you snarl at anybody in your way or attack anyone who pisses you off.
Amber: (Offended) So my aura is a dog?
Levi: No! No, no, no that's not what I mean I just-I-
Amber: You know what lets just forget this whole...whatever it was and try to survive our first day. It's not like we're gonna be besties or anything.

LATER IN O.R. 1
(Amber and her classmates observe the operating room amazed while Dr. Webber makes a speech)
Webber: Each of you comes here today hopeful, wanting in on the game. A month ago, you were in med school being taught by doctors. Today...you are the doctors. The five years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst of your life. You will be pushed to the breaking point. Look around you. Say hello to your competition. Eight of you will switch to an easier specialty. Five will crack under the pressure. Two of you will be asked to leave. This is your starting line. This is your arena. How well you play, that's up to you.

Casey: Don't stand out don't throw up and call it a win, don't stand out don't throw up and call it a win, don't stand out don't throw up and call it a win.
Dahlia: (Holding her flashcard) Okay, which is the artery that splits into the right common carotid in the right subclavian?
Casey and Amber in unison: Innominate
Dahlia: No, that's not it its (Looks at the answer) Crap!
(Amber opens a box of cookies and eats them)
Casey: Isn't it a little early for sweets?
Amber: I stress eat!
(Shoves another cookie in her mouth while Casey attempts to grab one only for Amber to slap his hand)
